On the move

Hello there! The weather has turned around and it's starting to look like summer (granted the end of summer) outside again, my three days of healthy eating and exercising have helped me feel happy and calm, and I'm excited to go to Zumba tonight (haven't really been able to do it since surgery). All in all, should be a good day.

Last night after work I answered Anna's pleas for painting help. Anna and Bips have bought a new house, but before they move in she wants to paint it (very good idea). Will, Rose, and Andy were there too (they were able to get there before I was done with work, so they really did the bulk of the job). With a little more work in the next few days, hopefully Anna and Bips can move into a house sans forest green trim work... seriously, who does that?!

Painting break = iPhone time

Now friends, if you will remember, I biked to work yesterday... which means I also biked to Anna's new place. Andy also biked to Anna's new place, so when we were all done, we both biked home together. It was our first time riding our bikes together, and it was really fun!

That night, Andy and I hit up Walmart in an attempt to figure out some sort of clothing storage solution for our bedroom. I think we've finally figured out a good solution (at least a first step). I will take pictures and post it once it's all put together. Stay tuned for that.

I've been trying to do one productive thing each morning before leaving for the office... Monday I collected hangers from a bag and hung them up, Tuesday I went to the gym, Wednesday I painted my nails, and this morning I cleaned out and organized the cabinet under the kitchen sink.

It's hard to tell in the picture, but tucked in the back on the right hand side is a shower caddy that I used to hold the cleaners we don't use all that often (oven cleaner...things like that). Oh the little things that make my type-A self happy. :-)

Today I biked to work once again! Biking into work is harder than biking home - it's steadily uphill, my backpack is heavier since I have my lunch in it, and you're constantly biking into a head wind. But it's still a good way to get a little extra exercise in my day. Guess who else decided to bike in today??

A quick seat adjustment...

... and he's off!

Now Mom, Andy is well aware that he doesn't have a helmet yet, but he promises to get one soon. He wanted me to make sure you knew that!

Anyway, now I'm at the office trying to get myself organized here. There are 12 more business days until the new season starts, and I need to take 5 of those as vacation days. Use them or lose them! Woohoo vacation!
