     Today was a physical day.  We started early, around 745am, me waking up suddenly when hubby told me (for the 3rd time he said) we had to leave in 20 minutes.  Well, I had to wet my head as the hair stylist did this spiky, punky style and it was awful.  She gave me a haircut that looks like Rusty's on Major Crimes, a bowl cut!  And she used all this hairspray to make it stand on end.  So I wet my hair down and blew it dry.  Looks a lot better than what she did to me but I still need to go back in and get it cut the correct way.
     So I drop hubby off at work after we stopped at Kum & Go, a chain of gas stations and store that I resisted when they first came to Colorado Springs.  What a weird name and I was a good 7-11er.  But one day, hubby went in one.  He liked it.  He took me there and it was shiny and new.  The uniforms the staff wore were nice and clean.  The staff smiled and were helpful.  The drinks were labled Big, Bigger & Biggest.  They had the new, multiple soda machine that could do everything.  They even had tea, sweetened and unsweetened.  They had freshly made breakfast sandwiches in the morning and something that was an omelet in a flour tortilla!  Yum!
     So we stopped at Kum & Go for breakfast then I dropped hubby off at work and headed in to the Zoo.  The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, for a Docent meeting.  I brought my crochet so I would stay awake and try to concentrate on what they were saying.  We went through all the agenda, hear opposing views on some by-laws, voted and then it was time for the potluck.  The night before while I was getting my terrible hairstyle, hubby went to the grocery store and bought 3 packages of little smokie sausages and two bottles of bbq sauce.  Last night he put all of it and a cup of jelly into the crockpot.  So I brought that for the potluck.  People ate and all was good.
     After lunch I took my crockpot back to the car, up the really steep hill where I had to park on Zoo grounds.  Then I had to walk all the way back down the hill to the Safari Lodge to attend the afternoon session of the Docent class for the new Docents.  I needed to get 2 continuing education credit and you get one for attending a morning or an afternoon session.  This was my afternoon session.  I will come back on March 14th for another session to make sure I have two credits.
     I did a lot of crocheting but had to quit in Safari Lodge as it was just too hot in there for me to continue.  I put it away and sat there for the last hour.  Then I tried to call hubby to let him know when I was going to be able to pick him up but he had already walked home the 6 miles.  So I went to the store and picked up potatoes, onions, Pepsi and an angel food cake.  We had strawberries at home and that was perfect to cook some strawberries with sugar and put over the angel food cake.  And that is just what hubby did at the end of the evening.
