Good morning! I am a little late in my post this morning mainly because I have been puttering around the house doing odds and end things, had some oatmeal, a couple of cups of COFFEE, updated my Game On chart and journal, and well, I guess I am just not really focused.
Yesterday Wendy and I biked from Brainerd to Nisswa, a 32 mile round trip jaunt. Next weekend she is doing her first bike ride with me at Itaska State Park and I wanted her to get in a little practice. It was a fun ride, the weather was perfect and in Nisswa we stopped and seen a friend of ours, Don, who was having pizza at Rafferty’s. This pit stop led to the following picture….
Yeah. Some things you just can’t pass up…. even when you should. 😛
Today it looks like the sun is going to come out which is wonderful since it stormed all night and was still raining up until about 30 minutes ago. I am off to help a co-worker learn a new program and then picking up some groceries for my hubby. He is going golfing with a friend up at our cabin this weekend and I am thrilled because the guy never takes a break when we are in season and he needs one.
This leaves my weekend plans to maybe get in another bike ride or two… definitely some reading and hanging our with our Kinship Partner Chance. I hope to shampoo my carpets too with having the house to myself. I need to enjoy this weekend as the next one will be crazy busy.
Book Journey 
Sometimes I get so frustrated that I can’t focus, for no apparent reason!
Right! I am still sitting here. I really should get showered and get moving – LOL.
What is wrong with me?
Perhaps I need more coffee…… 😆
Yeah, try more coffee. :p
Thank you Hannah 😀
This week has been so busy, with blogging, reading, and hanging out with Noah…his mom added a second job, so I’m taking up the slack.
Today is my daughter’s birthday, so Noah’s coming for a sleepover, but Heather will pick him up in the morning, leaving the day free for movies.
I want to see Eat Pray Love.
I had also ordered The Joneses on DVD, but when it arrived yesterday, I saw that I had accidentally clicked on the BluRay, so that’s going back. It will be a few more days for the correct format to arrive! GRRR. I was hoping to watch it this weekend.
Love your photo! Enjoy your weekend.
Laurel I was not a big fan of the book, but did find some parts of it interesting. I do think I would like to see the movie just to see what Julia Roberts does with the part.
Happy Birthday to your daughter and enjoy your time with Noah! 😀
I’m sitting here getting my caffeine fix from a big ol’ glass of Coke! Too hot for coffee! This weekend, all my boys are going to be dribbling in – one tomorrow, one the next day and one the next – so I foresee a lot of cooking in my future few days – it will be nice to see them. They haven’t been home since Mother’s Day.
Hope you have a peaceful weekend, my friend!
I am off pop like beverages for the month with the Game On Diet Sharon so for me it has been water or coffee and I drink so much water during the day now I must have my bonus of coffee 😀
How fun to have your boys around! Enjoy your weekend too!
Hmmm…our week end plans include dinner at our fave bistro…gardening…dealing with tomatoes exploding everywhere…and reading…I am semi enjoying Stiltsville…I am not sure where it is going…
Yum tomatoes!!!!! I really should have done a garden this year! 😀 Have a super weekend Patty!
I hope you have a great time biking, reading and shampooing the carpets! 🙂 I’ve just realized I need to reorganize in preparation for my new bookcase that will arrive next week. So much shuffling around of furniture and cleaning to do!
I love new book cases Alyce! I need to give my reading room a bit of love too – BEA books are still in the shipping boxes…. I just dig through them to pull out what I want 😀
I hope you are able to lots of reading this weekend. You sound like me, whenever I have some free blocks of time to read, I end up doing chores around the house. I tend to be on the hyper side so sometimes I have to tell myself “you are going to sit in this chair and read for one hour with popping up”…it’s hard. I plan to do some chores, read, write and see my parents this weekend. By the way, I’ve been meaning to ask, what ever happened to that Snickers bar in your office? Did you sneak it? 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Jill I hope so too. I took Chance to a movie tonight but now I have some reading time and after an early bike ride tomorrow I have all day to read 😀
I did the Game On diet last year and it does really work. Unfortunately, when it was done, I couldn’t keep it up. (But that is nothing against the diet … I don’t keep ANY diets up!)
Hi Jenners – it is a good program and I am liking it, mainly because it is not too strict. I am hoping it will put my healthy habits back in place.
We are still working on the house. Shifted our focus to landscaping. We designed a rick rack fence line down by the road. One of the green houses had a sale on their crepe myrtle so we bought the seven we’ll need for the yard side V’s of the fence. I am planning on putting old style roses in some of the road side V’s. I have lots of plants in my other gardens that need to be split and moved. The ground is hard pack clay and it gets hot and dry down there. We are going to put some sort of sprinkler system in or nothing will survive.
I will again try to get serious in sorting through all the stuff from 4 households that is crowding our house. We need to have a new heat pump system put in, so I have to figure out how to rearrange furniture for another intake vent. Since I have wall to wall bookcases, that isn’t easy.
I will feel a whole lot better when I can see some actual progress. I think the boxes are reproducing at night : )
Pat thats funny about the reproducing boxes…. I always thought that was Gremins around here. 😉
