Saturday Night
This has been the sort of day where you discover you left the chicken at the store (that you were going to eat for supper tonight) only after you've unpacked and put away the groceries.
The sort of day where your daughter decides she wants to play in the front yard, not the back yard, and opens the gate, and then leaves it that way without telling anyone.
And then later as you're starting a trip to another town, as you're easing down the street, your other daughter notices the gate is open--and the dog has escaped some unknown time ago.
The sort of day where you forgot your card expired only after you ordered two sundaes at the drive-through for your tired, dirty kids.
*sigh*
So, the weights. I can't find my notes so I'll have to go off of memory here.

Weighted Bench Dip
I started this out with my own weight, then seeking to progress with plates - easy ones, 2.5, 5, 10. Nothing cocky. I enjoyed the first set. Yeah, baby! I'm gonna be tough! Look at those guns! And then stuff started to hurt. Not that good sexy DOMS hurt, either. Nope--After the second set, it felt as if my solar plexus had gotten caught in a nut cracker. Huh, I thought, and tried to do the next (5 pounds) set. I made it through, but it was becoming clear that this was not for me--at least, not at this time. Still, it seems like a really cool exercise, and I'm going to work on mastering it. Although I'd like to know why it had that effect.
