Cars And Gardens

May 1, 2012 by Sara

My blog is kind of a life-behind-the-scenes-of-a-craft-biz sort of blog. Isn’t it? Well, sort of. One thing I know for sure, it isn’t a Dr.-Phil-Fix-Your-Relationship blog. However, today I offer some relationship insight. Not from me, but from someone who really knows his stuff.

It’s also a little treat for the person I’ve built a relationship with, Husby. Today he turns…a year older. He may not need the relationship insights (after all I’ve been “teaching” him for nearly sixteen years) but he can always used a laugh.

Happy Birthday, Husby! You’re both handy and handsome!

An Unplanned Weekend

April 30, 2012 by Sara

One call is all it takes

to disrupt a schedule that doesn’t even exist

From spending time in that sterile room

to an endless night filled with spreadsheets

to divert attention from worry

I move to having the inability

to complete the things that never existed

on my weekend agenda

Stay Cool And Be Free

April 27, 2012 by Sara

The weekend is upon us once again and I have the feeling it’s going to be a good one. Husby and I got a message from God when we heard American Woman and Stranglehold within ten minutes of each other on the radio. I took it as a sign that this is the weekend to cut loose and act crazy. Throw responsibilities to the wind, just for a couple of days, and feel like you did when you were young and free.

Rock on, my friends.

Gabbing And Getting High

April 26, 2012 by Sara

Charlotte and I are at it again ~ Tennis Tuesday is back in action for 2012. Except we’re doing it on Wednesdays this year, which makes it Wennis Wednesday.

We’re not competitive ~ we don’t play actual games or keep score in any way. We just volley the ball back and forth over the net. I know you’re thinking what’s the point? Why play a game if you aren’t going to keep score? I’ll tell you why. Because moving is good for us. We do plenty of that, even if it’s just to fetch the balls we were too ~~decrepit~~ lazy to return during the volley.

Another point of our trotting off to the courts once a week is to get in a little gab. OK, a lot of gab. Wennis Wednesday is about being social as well as being fit.

I’m certainly not one who exercises for the high, but the endorphins I felt after our tennis session were astonishing. It made me glad we could begin our weekly tennis/social hour a little early this year, allowing more weeks in the season for us to chat and get high (on endorphins) together. Apparently this kind of session is better for your body than chatting and getting high over cocktails.

So, yay for me and Charlotte! What are you doing to get your body moving?
