My 5 "S" Program

Every Friday, Matt has a 5 "S" program that he and his co-workers must do. The "S's" stand for: Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize and Sustain.  In a nutshell, these tasks help focus the team to finalize their week's work and clean their stations. I just realized this past week I had my own 5 "S" program:

1. Stuffing

2. Stairs

3. Sticky

4. Shopping

5. Softball

Let me explain:
For the past two days, I've been prepping for the apartment's upcoming events. Both are movie-focused and one will take place tonight and the other on Tuesday. I've been designing flyers, Stuffing them into bags and placing one on each door of the complex. At first I was thrilled to help out since it gave me a chance to get outside and enjoy the weather. That was until I realized I've been spending a little too much time inside recently and didn't realize how hot and humid it is around here. I tackled quite a few buildings with lots of Stairs. By the time I was done, I wasn't exactly my most attractive self - I was one yucky, Sticky Kirsten.


On Wednesday night, our Softball team had a double header. We won both games and I was happy with my playing results as catcher - got two outs.  :) Of course, I would tell you how Matt did, but he hasn't been home since Wednesday afternoon. He was sent to a nearby city, but it's just far enough away to justify not coming home each evening. He'll be back tonight, but for a couple that thought they would be playing softball together, so far out of a possible 9 games, Matt and I together have played 1. Wow - oh well, Matt will just have to get used to the fact that I'm now best buds with all his guy friends...yeah right! They all adore Matt (and that's putting it lightly!)

In the evenings, I've been going for walks after dinner and just happened to do some Shopping...  :) Tuesday, Matt and I walked around our local outdoor plaza and I got a cute dress, headband and some pictures for the guest bathroom.

Since I'm an over-achiever, I did a bonus "S" this week. I had dinner last night with Stephanie! Afterwards,  we took a walk around the shopping center we were near and I did some more shopping!  This time I bought a necklace.  :)

It's been a tough week folks, but someone's got to do it, right!? ;) 

I hope the movie night event is well attended tonight - that's why I did all that stuffing and stair stepping.  To help advertise the events better.  Whereas each gave me a good workout, I could have substituted them for more Swimming (ah, another "S"!) and could have been a lot less sticky!  Lets hope the hard work paid off. :)
