Saturday Plans

It's finally the weekend and I have to figure out what I'm going to do with my day. First of all, my brother Rick (who is apparently an expert on such things) told me that I am supposed to make an entry every day to my blog. Huh!? Guess I missed that one...but I'll try!! Hope it doesn't get too boring!

I am hoping to get a new pair of tennis shoes. But why do we call them tennis shoes, I never play tennis. Or maybe that's just me being old, maybe they aren't called tennis shoes any more. Maybe I'm supposed to call them "athletic shoes" or "sports shoes" or more specifically "walking shoes" and hope I never run in them (I haven't run in years, so not a great risk). In any event, they won't be cheap! I have at least one "Fred Flinstone" foot, my left foot, that is about as wide as a double wide trailer and so I can't even buy the wide width shoes, have to go to special stores where they serve you lattes and they put the shoes on your feet so they can charge you $300 for a pair of tennis/athletic/sports/walking shoes. This is why I call them "CPS" - car payment shoes, each pair is equal to a car payment!

So that's one plan for the day. I'd like to start going to the "Y" and getting my money's worth so having the right shoes will be the first step. Then I'm sure I'll need a new work out T-shirt and then I need new work out pants..it's just like changing the bedspread in your room - then you need new drapes, new carpet, etc. Where does it end??
