Cruddy Sunday

Well, another rainy, cold day. I really shouldn't complain, because I would rather have this than snow!!! Clay went to an Asian Cultural program at U of M with friends this weekend. I was glad he planned to stay overnight, because they got back at 3:30 am! Harrison went out with friends both Friday and Saturday evenings. Saturday was neat because his buddy turned 17 and wanted to go to an "R" rated movie sans parents - so they did! Kind of an interesting way to celebrate a 17th birthday. Ever notice how many movies are rated "R?" I think they throw in a cuss word or naked shot just to get the "R" rating - other than that, I often have a hard time distinguishing the difference from PG13. On the other hand, once in a while I see an "R" movie that is so violent and over-the-top that they should have an "OMG" rating! The movie they saw last night was like that - the boys said it was really a lot of gore and gratuitous violence (it was the new superhero movie).

I managed to walk both yesterday and today, in the rain and wind! Today marks my official first day of the President's Physical Fitness Challenge. I participated years ago, when I was pregnant with Harrison and far surpassed the fitness requirements at that time (and got a certificate). The program is different now, with levels. So, I signed up for the first level so I can get all the certificates eventually! Another plus is that you get awarded for years of participation. I'm fired up to do this again!! I selected weight lifting, walking, stationary bike, and aerobics for my activities. I am READY to go!!
