Today.

Today, I'm feeling a little like Charles looks in this webcam picture I took yesterday - sleepy, relaxed and not moving all too fast (or at all).


I have some ideas for blog posts, but something getting posted will depend on when or whether or not I:
  1. get my laundry done
  2. unpack from vacation
  3. finish the current chapter in my library book
  4. meal plan for next week and make a grocery shopping list
  5. get to Target to buy toilet paper (and $200 in other items I don't need or intend to purchase - stationery, a new top, nail polish, a blender, etc.)
  6. check off the other 20 items on my to do list

Weekend Recap: Relaxing, Reverting.

This weekend, we all did a lot of this:



While I was out running errands on Friday afternoon, I stopped in at AC Moore and picked up some embroidery floss to make friendship bracelets (like I mentioned here). By the time I left the store we were getting some wicked thunderstorms and downpours, so it was the perfect time to cozy up on the couch and try to remember how my young fingers used to turn this string into jewelry. I got the hang of it after just a little while, and enjoyed the mindless monotony of tying a knot, tying a knot, tying a knot... 






After my run on Sunday morning - only 10 miles (more on this tomorrow) - hubs and I took these beauties out for a spin. We rode 5 miles down Beach Drive to our favorite farm stand to pick up some local produce. Tomatoes. Peaches. Blackberries. Green beans. Yum. Then it was 5 miles back home. Ouch.


When we got home, we turned on the USA v. Brazil Women's World Cup game, which ended up being a 120 minute plus nail-biter of epic proportions. My nerves were rattled watching the end of the game...actually, the last half of the game, extra time and penalty kicks. I cannot handle penalty kicks. I think I conjure memories of taking PKs in a few high school state tournament games and the anxiety makes my head want to explode. After the American ladies won the game, I needed a nap. Like this guy:

I Overdid It This Weekend.

Earth Treks Rockville (2)
I did a little of this...
(via)

...a lot of this...

...about 10 miles too many of this.

I also ate a few chocolate croissants (three), drank a couple smoothies, perused Politics & Prose (Saturday) and Eastern Market (Sunday).

All while Charlie did this.







...and this...
....and more of this...
...and then he looked at me like this.
