Earlier this week, my friend Karen and I decided that we would walk this morning. As the week went on. it appeared that weather might be an issue - as in it was supposed to be really cold this morning. Once before when it was cold, we walked in the mall. Last night Karen and I decided that we would decide on our walk location this morning via text. The following is what actually transpired text-ually early this morning:
5:19am Karen: Location?
5:21am Me: My first choice would be bed. It's 30 outside so it that mall weather?
5:24am Karen: Want to wait until we can walk outside?
5:24am Me: Tomorrow will be warmer. Or we can freeze for 2 miles
5:25am Karen: Tomorrow. hehe
5:26am Me: Ok. No excuses tomorrow!
5:28am Karen: My new ratio. Oops. my new tattoo
5:29am Me: Ha! 6 miles on Saturday!
5:33am Karen: Sunday ok? out of town besides just heard rain on Saturday
5:34am Me: Yeppers
5:36am Karen: I'm open for walk before...just like this am! Ha
5:36am Me: I know. We should be going ...
5:38am Karen: Ok. do u want to go this am?
5:39am Me: We have to. 2 miles. In the cold.
5:40am Karen: Ok. Lipscomb
5:41am Me: Ok
5:42am Karen: 15 mins
5:43am Me: Got it!
So we met in the parking lot, it actually wasn't that cold, and we actually walked four miles instead of two. By not turning over and going back to sleep and instead keeping the conversation going, we talked ourselves into doing what we needed to do.
Friends - it's what Jiminy Cricket meant when he said, "A fine conscience I turned out to be!"
