Yesterday evening I took my mom out to dinner.  We started off around 7PM.  Dropped by Main Event to give Mr. Z man an extra $10 to spend.  Then we wandered a little while around the Clear Lake Area before landing at one of my mom's favorite places to eat, Red Lobster.  We had a very attentive server, which reminded me that a bad server can really crush your evening!  After eating a dry salad, salmon, broccoli and asparagus and two of those wonderful Red Lobster Biscuits I took my mom home.

I headed back home and got ready for the overnighter at Space City Rock Climbing Gym, in LEague City Texas.  The troop overnighter began at 11PM.  I belayed kids, bouldered, traversed and climbed until about 0230, then the call of my sleeping bag was too strong.  I laid down and slept until the boys got out the ping pong table and I was hit by several balls. By about 0430 I gave up on sleep, ate a snack and started traversing again.  I think the boys had the most fun trying to out best each other's times climbing up a certain wall of the gym.  They all had David timing them as they took multiple trips scrambling up the wall.

0700 found us leaving the gym and heading back to Pearland.  Z man and I stopped at a Donut place on FM 518 near Bay Area Blvd and I treated him to some donuts and donut holes.  We continued on to Pearland and were at the Stella Roberts Recycling Center before 0745.  Z man was tired and crabby.  I helped to loosen soil around trees with a hoe, spread mulch, and fill wheel barrows with mulch.  Z tolerated helping until 0945, we talked to some of our volunteers and KPB Executive Director Linda Cowles (my Boss :-)) and then I dropped Z man at home.

Tired, dirty, sweaty and not quite myself I decided I would go ahead and try the CrossFit workout.  I am glad that I did.  I had a fun time! Ana, Desiree and I worked as a team.  We worked well and coordinated the tire flipping .  IT was tough, dirty, and nasty but we didn't quit.  We handled the box jumps and sledgehammers, I won't say that we were enthusiastic but we gave it our best .  I am really proud of Desiree I stuck with her for most of the 800M run with the 25# weight.  She gives every WOD her all!  Ana is a great cheerleader and so positive that you believe that you can do anything, thank you ladies for a fun, high intensity workout!

Home again, and domestic chores, a shower, and then Z man and I went to get half price diet cherry limeades at Sonic. I showed him my office and put Mariachi Man on top of my desk.

Wow!!! I have really hit the highlights of the past 24 hour pretty well, and it kept me awake for another hour!  I hope I can make it for another 4!
