I never did any of that. I always thought on that day you just thought about what you're thankful for without telling anyone. :p

I was in Texas for Easter and went to a gathering. They made us all hold hands and bow our heads so someone could say a blessing (prayer). I thought that was kind of odd. Oh well, it was over in a few seconds. The food was good.
YEah, Texas is full on bible belt territory.

It is but sometimes you just go along because its the custom or the tradition, you don't really have to care or be fully invested. Easier to do that than be disruptive and kill the vibe of the party.

Oh totally, I'd rather not rock the boat.
 
Anywho,

I need to catch up on some yard work at home since I have the day off tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get up and do that. Today I just sat around on the computer and watching tv all day.
 
Perfect day :)

Yeah it was nice to be lazy :D :relax:

Oh yeah, I was thinking of joining a local gym. Not the cheap $10 a month one. The nicer one that has heated indoor swimming pools, hot tub, steam room and sauna (all the stuff the $10 a month gym doesn't have). I used to belong to that gym years ago and I loved going swimming and doing the steam room. Feels so good. I wonder if they'll have any black friday deals for joining. :|

I'm sure they will, either way, great idea to get into one that's got more amenities to offer, more incentive to be there.

Yeah, way better stuff there.

I was thinking of selling my home exercise equipment and turning that room into a room for the dogs (dogs that I don't have yet). The room is right by the backdoor and I could clear it out, put a doggy door so they could come inside and their beds / food bowls would be right there. I could also put baby gates up so they'd stay in there (and have access to the backyard) when I don't want them to have access to the rest of the house. I dunno, just brainstorming.

Yes!! 100% Yes! Anything involving puppers, just plain yes!
 
Because you GET to take them for walks ;)

We have a nice park nearby. I wonder if there are any karens there that will nag me about the leash law. Last time I had a dog (a few years ago) I'd let my dog off the leash at the local park and this guy chewed me out a couple times for doing that. My dog was very well behaved, left people alone and stayed away from other dogs.

Yeah, screw those people. Puppers need to run, they deserve to run.

That law is for people who have dogs who are a menace to society. Mine was not that. If my next dog(s) are like that then I will keep them leashed up 100% in public.

Yep, absolutely agreed, if they're problematic then definitely keep them leashed, but if they're just puppers having a run, they're fine!
 
Going back to the gym thing, it has a couple tiers to their membership, one plan I can get a daily "bring a guest" privilege. My partner was saying he is apprehensive about going because a couple of his co-workers belong to that gym. I was saying "who cares" ...but I can see how that would make me uncomfortable. I hope none of my co-workers belong to that gym. Lol.

Yeah, understandable concern to have, but if he's just there to work out or enjoy the amenities, there's nothing there to be embarrassed about.
 
I could bring my daughter too. We all miss going swimming. I don't know anyone with a pool anymore and the gym has a heated indoor pool so I could go swimming in December or January even.
