Boring post for Saturday

I haven't posted in a while.. This idea of boring post for saturday is great, I can just type whatever goes through my mind.
This week end we don't have plans. I hope whatever we'll do will involve some walking out in the parks. Mr L is playing video games. He recently got a new one and spend most of his free time playing it. It's fine with me as long as we get some time out together. It's the kind of game with a story, so at some point it will be over. :)
I will go to a different church this afternoon. I am so sad about my parish, maybe I'm just emotional but I went yesterday night for a teaching and the lady at the reception desk was so rude/mean/clueless that I don't want to go back there.
I have been going for 2 months, almost everyday to Our Lady parish, and yesterday night it dawned on me that I don't know ANYONE. I know the priests, because well they're easy to spot. But there is not a group that I can join to get to know people. I left my number to 6 different people to do anything to help, or just get involved in youth group or what have you, and I haven't been contacted. Every time there is an announcement for a teaching, a group or whatnot the information is wrong, or incomplete, and the reception desk people are just plain rude. I'm done trying.
I really liked the sermons there, but I need some form of community. I just can't go to a church just to sit there during mass and move on with my life as if it's some kind of movie that I just watch on a regular basis.

Otherwise I went to the gym again. Did I mentioned I am now a happy member?
I did a few classes, but there is way too much jumping around for my taste. Thursday I went to "stretch and tone". The room slowly filled with older happy members (which is a very good sign for me) and everybody took a huge ball, sat on it and started bouncing around. Oh I loved this class!! I am going back. At the end they changed the music for birds songs and turned off the lights. It was really neat. And 2 people talked to me. A lady even introduced herself. Yay!! :)
I also had a fitness evaluation. Well I did excellent in stretch. I am so proud. the excellent category starts at 16, and I did 19! (inches of stretch).
Otherwise hmm not so good. It was silly, all categories ranked from low to excellent and I was mostly average.. except in stretch :) and in... weight!! I scored high! well don't rejoice too fast. Scoring high in weight is not a good thing. It took me a few minutes to understand.. the guy was gently laughing.. oh well. :)
I'll go again Monday to learn how to use the gym equipements.

I am sad about your parish also. There are so many great things that could go on in a parish community, but often don't because the 'gatekeepers' prevent people from finding one another. Your parish missed a great opportunity.

I am happy that the gym is working out.

Ditto everything Mary said. I like the sound of that stretch class!
