Good Morning! 😀
I had a great weekend and hope you did too! We spent Friday, Saturday, and half of Sunday at our cabin up North. We (hubby and I) went out to eat, rode motorcycle around the shore, hung out at the cabin… he became hooked on the Game Show Network 🙄 and I read The Knife Of Never Letting Go (WOWZA!) On Monday we both spent time in our offices getting caught up for the week that is upon vote us.
I worked a short day on Monday and then went rollerblading with my friend Wendy. We had not chatted in a while due to busy schedules so the trail is a great place to catch up while getting a work out at the same time. At the seven mile marker Wendy suggested turning around but I thought we should set the goal of ten miles up the trail and so …. we did. Perhaps, in hind site that was not the best plan as neither of us had bladed in the last couple of months and neither of us had went that far this year. We started feeling the effects of that “choice” on the way back at about mile 15. I told her I hope she didn’t mind if I whined the last 5 miles back, she said she did not as she planned to whine too. 😛
Well obviously I am typing this so…
we survived. 😛
However may not have been the smartest idea with my still recovering from the sinus infection and still taking antibiotics… (lets just say there was a point there I was coughing so hard I thought I was going to lose a lung….) 😯
In other fun news… It’s Monday! What Are You Reading made the short list for best book blog meme. Ahhhh…. that’s so fun! Make sure to take a minute or two this week to vote for the book blogs on the short list – there are many awesome categories and awesome blogs up for nomination. I just love Book Blogger Appreciation Week (coming up September 12) there is so many incredible book blogs out there, set aside some time during BBAW to visit them! 😀

I wish I had your energy … I can’t imagine rollerblading, let alone for such a long distance!
Congrats for making the BBAW short list!
It was a bit of a stretch Beth….LOL…. I pushed my luck – but we did it 😀
Thank heaven you didn’t lose a lung! 🙂 You are a glutton for punishment, you know that? Meanwhile, I’m glad you’re on the short list – you deserve it.
LOL – I thought I did lose a lung… I was hacking like a 40 year smoker…. it was embarrassing! 😳
You have so much energy to do all of that while recuperating! Ah, yes, to be young again…LOL
Thanks for sharing, though. We can live vicariously through your adventures.
I have to document this stuff… years from now it will make me laugh…. well, it actually makes me laugh now 😛
Congratulations, so exciting.
Thanks Tea 🙂
Congratulations, Sheila!
Thanks Kathy 🙂
Glad you had a nice weekend and survived your rollerblading. Congrats – this is a great meme and I’m glad it made the short list!
Since I will be out of the country I won’t be doing much this year with BBAW but it is a great event.
Thank you Martha – it was exciting to be a part of the list. I do love the meme too. 🙂
Rollerblading looks so fun.
Congrats on making the short list!
Thanks Carol – blading is pretty fun and great for strength training 😉
I haven’t rollerbladed since college. I have a pair somewhere, I think, maybe in the closet of my old bedroom at my parents house. I always had problems stopping once I got going, so I think I was a bit of a scary skater! I have gone roller skating at a rink with my kids though!
I enjoy it and have few friends that do it. We are on a flat trail so no hills that would cause stopping emergencies 😀
Yay for the short listed meme — that is a competitive field!
Thanks Jenners…. 😀
An extra 3 miles forward doesn’t seem that far until you consider you now have to go an extra 3 miles back! Congrats on the nomination Sheila!
Exactly Angie! 😀
Great news on the meme. BBAW is a fun week for bloggers.
20 miles on rollerblades does sound tiring for your inner leg muscles! So happy you had a wonderful Labor Day weekend.
