A day of nothing but relaxation

I didn't ride today.  I didn't run.  I didn't even swim.  I got up early to go weigh in at my Weight Watchers meeting (um... that didn't go so well), took the dog to the vet, ran some errands and did a little bra shopping.  BTW- on a side note- bra shopping is far worse than any swimsuit shopping day.  Do you even KNOW how hard it is to find something to hoist the girls up to where they were in my 20's.  Well if you don't know- it's incredibly difficult.  Why oh why does gravity do such terrible things to my chest.  But I digress...
It was a great day to do lots of nothing.  Sometimes it's just what you need.  I enjoyed every minute of it.

The day ended with a nice little fire in the backyard.

Today was pretty chilly.  I refused to put on my down jacket, so I just froze when I went outside today.  It's March, doggone it- it's sunny and it should be warm so I was protesting the frigid weather.  It didn't do any good.  It was still cold despite my protesting and minor temper tantrum. 

The dogs and I went outside after dinner to enjoy a little fire.  It's the first time I used the chiminea that was given to us by some friends.  I had no idea that pinion wood smokes like a... well... a chimney.  The smell was heavenly and I felt like I was being transported to Colorado, the Grand Canyon or any other number of places where we're surrounded by beauty and enjoying an evening camping by the firelight.  It was so peaceful.  The hum of the highway and the glow and crackle of the fire did my soul a world of good!



So even tho I didn't even look at my bike or running shoes today, my heart and soul got a great workout of rest and relaxation.  And that's not a bad thing!
