Okay - I had fun today. My coach said I get a free day. So, I got all dolled up and took my son and 2 dogs for coffee/bagels this morning. My makeup was light for during the day - but quite good since I have inspiration from looking at the beatiful pix of Anna. LOL!! I guess my sense of humor is that I usually look like a tom boy with athletic clothes, sweaty hair and NOT a dot of makeup.

Anyway, there was a guy there who lit up when he saw me and we talked a bit while in line. He got his bagels and went on his merry way. Good for self esteem.

Then the owner came and he smiled - he is a famous football player who started the store. I know he was married at one time - not sure about now - there is no ring but who knows. I smiled and talked. Good for self esteem.

Then there was the beloved cyclist I see there on weekends. But - he had a ring! Today he was in work clothes with no cycling gloves. But that is okay now I know.

And this weekend I had a race - managed to look good - but wouldn't you know - right as I crossed the finish line it POURED with rain. And it was cold. So it sent everyone scurring to the buses and NO socializing. Imagine running 13 miles and then losing the party at the end. Oh well, I am in good shape to run like heck for that long, right?

So there you have it - my tales of getting out and about. I figure any where you go is a good place - because prince charming is not coming to your house. Out of the house is good!

Judy, good for you! Getting out gets a gold star. Getting out with makeup on and feeling like you are hot gets three gold stars. Getting out and recognizing when someone else thinks you're hot- i don't have enough gold stars left...

It is wonderful that you can see when someone thinks you're attractive- even when nothing comes of it. it's also good to know the cyclist wears a ring.

The greatest thing though is that you ran your race! Great job! It sucks that it had to rain at the end, but I bet you were smokin' hot during the race, and the rain probably cooled off all the other runners who had been staring at you!

Moody, applauding the efforts you've made
