Friday morning was a little colder than I thought it was going to be. This summer I started to walk to work when ever it is not raining hard. I hate to exercise and i like to eat and this summer I remembered how much I like to walk. When I was 13 my cousin and I would walk down to the Village every night after dinner (around 6pm) share a pack of cigaretts, buy a cherry coke at the Cock and Bull - try to look cool - and then walk like the wind to make it back home by 9 pm.
It all came back to me this summer - I'm a walker!!! It takes me about a hour to get to work - maybe longer if I start to daydream, and miss my turn. It was chilly yesterday, but so lovely.
Autumn is a favorite time of mine - tho, I have to admit I"m crazy about the summer. I left a post office slip on the kitchen table and asked my husband to please pick up the package for me after work. He gets home about 2 hours before me - he starts at 7 am. I have to tell you, I forgot what I ordered. I've discovered shopping on the internet - this could turn ugly - so I'm trying to calm myself and not look or buy anything. Trouble is, all the companies are now sending me specials via e-mail. What a temptation!
No one was home when I got there, not even the dog. So I ate my dinner - saved my husbands dinner on a plate, covered it with foil and put out the dogs dinner and started looking at the mail and putting away the laundry (believe it or not - i enjoy doing this stuff). They both came in around 6 pm and my husband had my package and his Friday night special in tote. I bought cordoroy jeans( beige) and a 2 piece pillow set for my rocking chair (sage) - which I'll try to get my husband to put together on Sunday - early - before football begins. I settled in the bedroom to watch "Law and Order CI" - love this show. Then I watched "Take Home Chef" (he goes to some beautiful kitchens!!) and "What Not to Wear" ( another favorite). I dozed off and was awoken by the noise in the kitchen - it was 10:30 pm and my husband was finally ready to eat dinner - not bad for a Friday the 13th night.

i love to walk too. I like this site.
I used to love walking, but since my car accident I don't get nearly as much walking as I would like.
BlogMad hit.
I enjoy autumn but I'm not so fond of winter any more. I used to walk a lot more than I do now....I'm getting kinda lazy lately.
Blogmad hit!
hey five, how are you?
It would be good for all if we started walking alittle more. I find my self sitting alot and i end up feeling stiff - it also clears your head from the daily madness. thanks for stopping in
