I admit, it's getting better

     I had to throw in a Beatles reference in the title.  Last night, I mixed a new playlist for weightlifting, and it is full of Beatles songs that I love!  This one really spoke to me this morning.  It really is, getting better!  I am finding that the morning workouts are getting longer, easier, and more intense.  This morning was no exception!  I literally dragged my lazy but out of bed this morning, as 4:30 am came too quickly after celebrating the NFL season kickoff last night, but I am committed dag nabbit!  When I got to the gym, I noticed "the screamer"  was not there.  This is going to be a good workout without having to listen to a 50 year old man scream at the top of his lungs as he lifts 100 pounds!  I decided on a "quick" cardio since I was so tired.   Perhaps just 45 minutes on the treadmill.  Once I began, however, I started to feel so great that I forgot how tired I was, and boosted my jog.  What a GREAT way to start out the day!

     Yesterday was such a great day at work...almost all the way to the end.  I had a chamber ambassador meeting ( a GREAT excuse to leave work for an hour and a half!)  Shortly after I returned, I received word that a state complaint surveyor was in the building.  This is nerve racking for every manager there.  I spoke with my boss to see if there was a need for me to stick around, and I was told.."no, you skate again you lucky bastard!"

     Last night was the season opener for the NFL season, and it was great!  Dawn and I went out for a light dinner, and the manager ended up comping our drinks.  Not because there were any problems, it just pays to know so many people in the community.  I had 3 different bets for the Denver Broncos, and if you did not watch, they won, so I am $75 closer to my next automotive restoration!  YAY!

     We ended up at a different pub for the second half of the game.  Dawn wanted a glass of wine, so she asks the bartender (as if we were at a fancy restaurant), "what do you have in a Cabernet Sauvignon?"  the look on this twenty something, face pierced, tattoo covered bartender was PRICELESS!  She had to tell him she was talking about wine.  His response, "you're at the wrong bar, lady!"  To what she replied, "just give me a glass of your finest boxed Merlot."  We sat for quite sometime waiting for her "wine" to come to room temperature as they keep it in the cooler.  I headed back to the table humorously debating whether or not she would be invited to any more football games.  When she returned, she had a glass of my kryptonite...Angry Orchards apple ale, with a shot of cinnamon whisky dumped into it.  I was sure there were 100,000 calories in this one glass alone, but it was SOOO good!

     This weekend will be a busy one, but I am very much looking forward to it!
