The good and the bad for the day...

First, the good. I had a great workout tonight (although no running was involved). I did my regular weight routine for about 50 minutes then swam for 30 minutes at the gym. When I was working out regularly (pre-K), it was typical for me to do cardio (run or Stairmaster), weights, and finish up with a swim as my regular routine. I've definitely gotten out of the swim habit, but tonight I realized how much I miss it. It's obviously good for cardio and arm strength, but it's also just so soothing and relaxing. I'm certainly not a fast swimmer or a great swimmer by an stretch, but I can swim easy laps. I really wish I was more comfortable swimming in open water because I would definitely add a couple of tri's to my race calendar. The last one that I did was "The Rookie" in San Marcos back in May, 2006 (wow, has it really been that long ago?!), and I actually fared relatively well (8th in my age group and even 1st on the run). Ah, those were the days when I was fast and fit in all my cute clothes.

Now, for the bad. I am frustrated with K yet again for his (in)decision-making style. We went for a consultation/tasting of wedding cakes this evening. It was up in Pflugerville, so it meant that we had to take off work early and deal with rush hour traffic on I-35 in order to get there. Once there, I was able to get an idea for the bride's cake pretty quickly; however, things didn't go so easily for the groom's cake. Afterwards, we got into an argument about the whole thing and then K proceeded to throw the issue of money in my face. Hmm, as I recall, I wasn't the one who wanted a big, fancy wedding in the first place. Grrrrrrr....
