on the ball

I have no idea what that cliche "On the ball" literally means (it sounds like a difficult maneuver, and faintly related to exercise; not sure I like that). But figuratively, I'm there. Allow me to outline my stellar day so far:

• Out of bed by 9:10 a.m.
• Load of clothes in the dryer
• Face washed and Mint Julep-masked [though it said 15 minutes and I've had it on for 84]
• Blogs read & commented on
• Dagoba Xocolatl chocolate bar for breakfast
• Blog business card created & ordered from VistaPrint

Notice no shower, laundry washed, or interaction with husband & children (in fact, two of them left the house and I'm not sure where the other is right now).

Listen, I'm walking in the Relay for Life this afternoon - that is physical activity, people. I have got to conserve energy early in order to manage that. I'm in training.

I see a nap, movie, and possibly cocktails in my future.
