Fire-station field trip to parking ticket



Last week for life group we toured the fire station. It was awesome! Way cooler than when I was a kid. The equipment is so intense. If I was a fireman, firewoman, fireperson, whatever the politically correct term is, I would surely break something. I don't know what it is about buttons. They always tempt me. And the fire-truck had a plethora of buttons! 

Coolest thing ever - the jackets have thumb holes! One of my favorite things in the world!!! I'm a simple girl. Simple pleasures.

After our run this weekend I diagnosed myself with peroneal tendinitis on my right foot. It hurt after my run last week. Thought it was my shoes. I was wrong. I'm going to the orthopedic institute tomorrow to confirm my internet researched self diagnosis. The remedy: a boot. I have a marathon next Saturday. I want to cry.

I went to my first opera Saturday night. Loved it! The lead tenor and soprano gave me goose-bumps. The soprano had the richest voice I've ever heard. Everything about her was grand. Her voice, her presence, her costumes, her attitude, her character. It was an amazing experience.

Today I met a couple of friends for lunch at Mamas Latas downtown. Delicious! Great food, great company, great conversation. And, when I left I had a parking ticket. What?! Talk about an instant killer. I can appeal and go to a hearing or pay the fine - $15. I want to appeal. I parked between two vehicles and the one in front of me was gigantore so I had to back up a little to leave space for it to leave eventually. No good deed goes unpunished.
