Ok, so since it was conference today we decided to meet my mom at our favorite park walk around and enjoy a sunny crisp fall day. As we are entering the actual park, a homeless and not so mentally stable woman is headed towards out path muttering to herself kind of angry. Picture the old woman from the movie Dark Crystal that says "Gelfling???" (go back to the 1980's for that one). I was contemplating how to avoid actually coming into her space but did not change my course with pushing the stroller with Noah in it. As we came within a couple feet of her, she snapped out of her own world of angry muttering to pause, look at Noah and exclaim "Oh my G@# your baby is beautiful!" and then sharply snap her head and eyes to me (like that dark crystal lady) and say "but you're NOT!". She quickly went back to walking and muttering angrily past us.
All I could do was laugh as I am now writing this. You just never know what to expect from someone like that. I'm just glad the assault was verbal and not physical.
The rest of the walk in the park was uneventful and relaxing.
I'm also thinking about the marathoners and hoping they are recovering nicely. I am still dealing with knee pain daily and we have only run twice a week no more than 3.5 miles and my knees are still hurting. I think it has to do with upping the mileage from our training schedule from 9 to 13.1 miles in a week for the race. If I had to do it over, I would not have done it that way and don't plan to again. Just hope my knees calm down soon so I can get back to a routine.
We are off to K&B's tonight for another family dinner which is always a great way to spend Sunday nights.
Thant's it for now except I need to thank Marnie for a great Halloween themed blog. :)
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
that lady must have been crazy, buffy - because you ARE beautiful. funny story.
