Impromptu Fun

Sometimes, the last minute decisions turn out to be the best. Last night while out for milk and cookies, I saw that my friends were at a local sports bar. I thought I would stop in and say a quick hello (I did have milk in the car!). It was great!

Of course, we had to talk about the stories behind the blog posts which led into solutions to my inability to say no. The twenty something version is to just say "no" - that made me laugh. The forty something version had more words and never really got to no - more of a "lack of action" move. I am sure that somewhere there is a Sociology thesis in these two very different approaches between the age groups! Then, we made our way around to the "no" phone number which was appealing and funny.

I didn't know when I left the house that I would spend an hour laughing with friends. I was just going to the store. Sometimes, taking a detour is exactly what you need, at exactly that moment.

When is the last time you took a detour and where did you end up?

And, to accomodate a special request (yes, I know my heels are not down among other equitation faux pas'):

Now I need to go back, take another look, and do some calculating.

But it's true. Who noticed your heels?

I noticed my heels. It's my achilles heel of riding! Ha. Ha. Ha.
