Refugio Valley Park, 15-min walk from our house
I was in the park this afternoon, watching old couples walking, mommies and toddlers playing on the swings, men jogging, teens playing frisbee, women walking their dogs... and I felt like I was sucked into a Hallmark channel movie.
You know, those stories about families, that always have these park scenes where the family relationship is usually established (or something like that).
Anyway, it was a little surreal to find myself in a beautiful park at midday, reading a book and people watching.
The career woman in me found this such a waste of time. But I've learned to appreciate the time I have on my hands at present. I know that before I know it, I will be caught up in work and would find times like these a rare luxury.

I've accepted it.
'It' being the bitter reality that I have to exert more effort than usual to keep my weight stable :0P
I've become friendly with the stepper here at home, and with the weights. But walking to the park is my favorite form of exercise :0) That's why I'm hoping that the spring weather continues.

Way to go, Uchenna and Joyce!
I'm so happy that they won TAR7!! I didn't want Rob and Amber to win but I (grudgingly) admire their composure and team work. I was sad for Ron and Kelly, for during their live interview at The Early Morning Show this (duh!) morning, they said that they weren't dating anymore.
I guess going through life-changing experiences with someone can either make you grow closer or apart.
