Bikeless

March 17, 2010 9 Comments

I am not sure if you have noticed but I used to ride my bike quite frequently when I first started this blog.

Usually I rode on the weekend-enjoying long leisurely rides with my friends.

I miss my bike friends

me, Terri, and Jack

me again and Terri

Of course the weather the last month or so has been rainy so I haven’t ridden but I also stopped riding because I wanted to sell my road bike and purchase a new one.

My dear friend, Trevor was nice enough to keep “Tabitha” (my road bike) at his shop and try to sell her for me.

Well he did!

And Tabitha is gone.

And now I have mixed emotions-sad to see her go but happy and excited to be able to get a new ride………

Can’t wait

On another note, if you get a chance will you take a moment and vote for me?

I have entered a silly contest thanks to Khrystle and now I need your help to win

So vote for me as often as you can. I would really appreciate it

Thank you!

Hope you are having a great St. Patty’s Day.

We are laying low at the casa tonight. Definitely no green eggs and ham here…….

Hmmmm wonder what I am gonna make tonight?

I will let you know in the morning.

Have a great night and thank you for voting for me!

A Date With Target

March 5, 2010 21 Comments

Today was a great day as most Fridays are.

Walked to work with the usual suspects-Debby and Julie.

Stopped for a smoothie with Debby-Julie kept walking she had to get to work:

Doesn’t Debby look cute with her big sunglasses?

She wanted to take them off but I wouldn’t let her!

My smoothie had mixed berries, almond butter, banana, granola and Spirulina in it (Debby got the same):

Delicious!

Of course to counteract the cold I got tea:

Got to work:

Fridays are great because it is Quiz Day. I get a lot of grading done while my classes take their quizzes. It is nice.

Walked home with the girls.

Love to be home:

I just got a new magazine in the mail-Fridays are great!

I am hoping reading this tonight will give me some much-needed motivation for Sunday mornings 5K.

After Bill and I have dinner, we are off to Target.

Yes Bill and I have a date with Target tonight. We are out of everything essential-you know TP, paper towels, razors, etc. We have got to go. We are romantic like that-hot date night at Target : )

What magazines do you read and do you go to Target for essentials or somewhere else?

Happy Friday night!

Oh almost forgot-I have two giveaways in the near future. Stay tuned I am super excited to share them with you.

I live in a town where I can pretty much walk anywhere. Because of this, I walk to and from work almost everyday. My walk takes about 30 minutes each way. It is great exercise and great relaxation. I do not miss getting in the car and driving to work. I find the walk makes me calmer and less anxious. Plus I usually have a friend to keep me company.

In the morning I dress in my work clothes and trade my cute shoes:

for my running shoes:

and head out the door. Oops first I must grab my stuff! Backpack and my green monster smoothie (which is more pink than green because I am out of spinach)
