Crazy weekend

Last weekend was definitely not my norm.  Dizzy and I worked the afternoon/evening shift at the gymnastics meet Friday night. She was flashing the scores for the vault and I had the job of timing the warm-ups for the beam. I had the judges permission to be bossy, so I was very happy. The meet wasn't over until after 9:30 and Dizzy and her friend and teammate wanted dinner. So, off to dinner we went, not getting done until after 10:30.

Unfortunately, we then had to go and get ice cream for Bean, who had texted me and begged.  I also needed a case for my new phone. Yes, I finally have joined the big people world and have my first smart phone. I'm fairly certain it is smarter than I am, but I'm learning.

So it was well after 11 before we got home. Saturday we were back at the meet by 11, dropped off the brownies we had made for the judges room and then were waiting for Dizzy to compete. She had a huge surprise when her coach let her compete the uneven bars. It wasn't the routine she wanted, but she gave it her best and I was so very proud of her, not only for not giving up, but for her grace and poise after the disappointment.

After working the group after hers, I went and met a friend for a glass of wine. It took 4 hours to drink, but there was a good live band and we had a wonderful talk. 

Tonight I stepped out of my comfort zone again and joined a writers group. I felt very overwhelmed and a little lost. I'm going to have to put myself out there a little bit, or a lot bit. We'll see, I didn't feel pressured to bring in the next best selling novel, but I am going to have to put some work into my writing.

So this is 3 nights lately I have stepped out of my comfort zone and done something new. It is actually refreshing. I blame it on the Plank Challenge that my friend challenged me to try. I'm not working through it like it is written, but I'm progressing and every night I can bump up the time a little is a little victory. I'm working on the 45 day plan instead of the 30 day plan.

Headed off to another meet this weekend, get to spend time with family while we are there.

Be Happy! Be Healthy! Be sure to manage some mischief! (Work has been slow...this has been easy lately!)
