So how's your day been

I'm missing our end of the day check ins.Did anyone do anything wildly exciting today, anything sorta exciting???No excitement here, just the usual at the palace.I did get in a fantastic run on my treadmill today.I was "glowing" afterwards!Saw Rhonda's post about her feet hurting and had to laugh.I spent 2 hrs in my "big girl" heels today and it was too much for me.It's looking shaky for my blissful snowy Sunday.Talked to DH and he wants to rip doors off and put new ones on.That doesn't sound like a good idea in snow and sleet to me but then again I'm just a woman, what do I know!!!!
Hope your day has gone well.Share all the exciting details ....or just make some up.

My post is about as exciting as it gets for me... Tim is in CA until tomorrow night, and Rob is spending the night with a friend. Just the animals to keep to company, but actually, that sounds pretty good about now.
Our big news is that Rob is getting a haircut tomorrow. It won't be terribly short, but it's well past his shoulders, so anything will be a surprise to people. I want him to keep it fairly long, but just give it some shape and keep the ends healthy. That happens at noon.

I had an adventure tonight, after all!! My neighbor who's almost 70 called all worried, because she'd gone to another neighbor's house to give her her phone number, so she'd have it when she moves. This other woman and her husband divorced and their house sold today. Well, the woman's car was in the driveway (when it's usually in the garage), the lights were on inside, and the front door was unlocked. No one answered, so Betty opened the door and hollered in, but still no one answered. She said she walked around a little and hollered, but couldn't find her. She talked to the man next door who walked around the outside of the house with her, but wouldn't go in.
I know nothing of what goes on down that side street except what Betty ("The Neighborhood Watch" and a very good neighbor) tells me. Apparently, the man has a drinking problem and started drinking again and abusing the woman. He had already moved out, but she witnessed them having a big argument today. She was afraid she might be in there hurt. Her voice was shaking, so I told her I'd meet her in her driveway. I got my flashlight and headed out.
We walked over there and rang the bell, but no answer. Walked around the outside, and I could see a computer on in her room and lights on in several rooms. We debated about whether we should go in or not, and Betty said, "I'm going in!" She did, so I followed her, all the while worried that someone would report us as trespassers or peeping Toms! I checked 4 front rooms and she checked some back ones and the garage, but no sign of her. The stereo was even on, and her bedroom door was key locked! I was starting to get nervous myself. I decided we should look more closely in her bedroom window. I eased up to it, with visions from Law and Order running through my head, but couldn't see everywhere.
About that time, I saw a light flash by. I peeked around the corner and it was THE HUSBAND (or ex-husband) drving up in his truck!!!! I'm like, Betty he's here, we need to get out of here. Thank goodness we weren't still in the house! I said I think we need to go next door, so we slinked up against the other people's house onto the neighbor's porch and rang their bell. He was the guy who'd been out with Betty before. He came to the door, and I'm there with this goofy smile and a big "HI!" He looked at us like what is going on... We explained, so he and his wife laughed and had us come in their house.
We stayed an appropriate amount of time, tucked our flashlights under our shirts (cold!), and walked back home. I got a call not too long after that the other neighbor had called Betty to let her know the woman had come back to the house with the husband. So, it appears as though everything is OK.
So much for my quiet night at home. Now, I've made some steelcut oats with raisins and walnuts and am going to crawl in bed to watch the rest of O'Reilly and hope that nothing else happens tonight.

Then I found out that the sweet women from our church, that I was making a prayer shawl for, passed away wednsday. My friend told me that Father was with her, gave her her last rights, then asked the Holy Spirit to come take her to God, at that moment she smiled, a little tear trickled out of her eye, and she was gone. Her DS is only 9, and sang in the concert thrusday night, it was heart breaking.
Love, peace, and cheers to all of you!
