Tightrope or Tornado?

Wow. What a weekend/week/month/year... I keep trying to remind myself that I make all my choices and I really like to be busy and productive but sometimes I can't believe I pack as much into tiny spaces of time as I do.

Went to the Philadelphia Flower Show Friday. Unfortunately, so did about 4 million other people. On a Friday. Doesn't anyone work anymore? I have been amazed lately at the amount of people there are where ever I go. Especially in Bowie. Where are all these people coming from? Trying to get from my house in the "S" Section to Target in the ? section takes about 20 minutes. It's only about 2 miles away. Has there been some kind of huge population explosion that I'm not aware of? Seriously, 4 million people? and a 4 stall bathroom? With 2 out of order....

The funny thing, (in a shake your head funny, not a ha ha funny) was the amount of people--me included--that were complaining about the amount of people being pushy as we pushed to get closer to the exhibits. Each exhibit was at least 20 deep in people, you had to literally edge in one step at a time and then bargain with the people to let you back out "I'll let you in if you let me out". Crazy.

The exciting thing was that Lori and I saw a bald eagle on the way there. I told her that even if the rest of the day was a bust, seeing that eagle made it all worth while. Prophetic words.

It was fun though, I love having a day to spend with my friend. I had many shoulds and oughts and much Martha business to attend to but decided to be Mary for a day and it was worth it. Course we screamed into the church parking lot just in time for me to hurry up and teach my restorative yoga class (HURRY UP AND RELAX!!!)

The rest of the weekend is just a blur of activity and busy-ness. With a lot of very pleasant surprises....
