So glad its the weekend

It has been a crazy crazy week...but today is Move for Health Day and I was at work at 10am with Joanne to lead a group of seniors for our event - a stroll around nearby LaFarge lake...a walk that takes me at most 15 minutes took us 45 minutes. Those walkers just don't go as fast. It was pretty chilly and felt more like Fall than Spring but it did not rain so all was good.
Last night we had our first Pub Night and we feature that handsome Tony Prophet and the Mid-life crisis band...we bought tickets and I wasn't supposed to be officially working but Heather and I and Joanne could not help but do our share. The band was AWESOME...played all the music we could really dance to and we knew all the lyrics too as well...CCR, Beatles, Elvis, eagles, beach boys, Bob Seger etc...it was so much fun. Terry and Rene came out and responded to my invitation for a fun night out. Where can you have a bar serving cheap booze, a wonderful meal catered by our Food Services in a brand new banquet hall and dance dance dance. Poor Darcy couldn't get up and boogie because we had some clothing malfunction which required the use of duct tape on his rear end but it really should not have mattered. I had a great time...and here is a photo of me, Joanne, Heather and Helga (the Glen Pine crew partying away at work while we are off work -shows you how much we love being there!!!) I put together a baby boomer trivia quiz for each table to work on...there were prizes. Our next Pub Night will be Glen Pine Idol night!
So, today I went to Move for Health Day and we kicked-off our "Every step counts" Campaign as part of the whole Active Coquitlam initiative. In the afternoon, I had to go to the Burquitlam Funeral Home for Ruth Bull's celebration of life. Frank was pleased to see such a turn-out from all of us at leisure & parks as support. They had a whole life-time love story and she died just weeks away from their 64th wedding anniversary...there was an article in the local paper in February for Valentine's Day on how they met and how they stay so deeply in love...it was very touching and her loss will be so huge for him but he has his family surrounding him. It was suprising but there was no service, just a get together of friends and family just in the room beside the chapel.
After we went and got Chrissy's shoes and clutch for grad...don't want to mention the fiasco of the dress drama which hopefully be rectified this coming week...grr...so mad I cannot even begin to write about it. Put it this way, the dress manufacturer's messed up and sent the wrong size when measurements were correct and should have been loose as weight has been lost but it was 2 sizes too small! I really am looking forward to this being over...even the the whole aftergrad is bogging me down and perhaps I should have just sat back and let other parents step forward since I did my bit 2 years ago. The only good thing about Grad for Chrissy is being done with High School and on her way to other things (good I can only hope and pray).
Caiti is back in Kelowna...wonder if she will call or text tomorrow for Mother's Day.
Had a good weigh-in this week but yesterday and today were very poor eating days so I must get back on track better the rest of this week or else!!!!
