#11-May 22, 2010 Am I getting old?

I didn't have big plans this Saturday, which was nice for a change.

In the morning I had a great workout, cleaned part of my house, and then spent an hour or so on my garden. (One day I'll post a picture of my genius watering system that only took 20 minutes--after years of figuring it out--to set up!) I wanted to get some tomatoes and zucchini planted, but I ran out of time. Which in hindsight turned out to be a good thing, since they would have been tortured by the snow on Monday. But all that bending, lifting, twisting and kneeling really did a number on my lower back. See? I'm getting old!

I spent the afternoon with my friend Tricia, who I haven't seen in AGES!!! We decided to take in an afternoon matinee. And since I haven't seen her baby--cute little Pyper--since she was born, I picked Tricia up. Let me tell you, Pyper is adorable. Wish I had a picture to prove it, but take my word for it, she's a cutie!

So, then we went to see Letters to Juliet. Here's another reason why I think I'm getting old (or maybe cynical or maybe I just wasn't in the mood) 'cause I thought it was completely cheesy, dumb, predictable and over acted. I'd barely give it one star! Sorry to be so critical, especially if you loved it. Maybe I should just stick to action and suspense flicks with hunky heroes?

And do you know what they need in at the movie theater? Massage chairs! Like the ones they have at the nail salon. Yup! I'd pay extra to enjoy a massage during my movie! See...I'm totally OLD!!!














Later that evening, after saying goodbye to Tricia and having dinner with my blog buddy Jen, I was craving a treat. Chocolate cake to be exact! It's probably a good thing that Flour Girls & Dough Boys and Dippidee are closed at 8:00 on a Saturday night. Otherwise I'm sure I would have (over)indulged! Craving chocolate probably isn't a sign of old age--just the reality of being female.

Jen and I ended the day with a soak in our neighbor's hot tub. Ahhh...heaven! My aching muscles would like to thank Jim for sharing his new toy. And I would have posted a picture of us in the hot tub, but I forgot I had my camera. Forgetfulness--another sign that I'm getting old! And then my camera ended up taking a little bath in the hot tub when we put the cover back on. RATS! Guess that means I'm buying a new one for my birthday.

Hmmm...birthday...maybe that's why I'm feeling old!

Old schmold. Hey aren't the people who are old the ones who can hire people to do their gardening for them?

Letters to Juliet looked like the whole movie was played in the trailer. I should send you $8 since I won't be seeing it in the theatre now.
