Miscellany Monday
hhhhh
{one} Thanks to everyone who wished me a great staycation. It was indeed great! I highly recommend taking one. Just as restful (if not more restful) than a actual vacation, and much, much cheaper. When I got home from work the night my staycation was to begin, David had a surprise for me in the kitchen -- a new bike! I felt like the happiest third grader there ever was! I rode around and showed my neighborhood friends my new green hybrid. I named her Jupiter. Riding a bike is so nostalgic. I have such fond memories or riding around my neighborhood for hours with my sister and friends. The days of elementary school were so fun and worry free -- I especially remember around this time every year building leaf forts for hours outside.

{two} This little blog has been busy! I hope you have had the chance to join in on my first Reader Celebration. You still have time to enter through the end of the week. Click HERE to see them all.

{three} I have to say a HUGE thank you to my sweet husband who did 100% of my new blog design... David- you amaze me everyday. I don't think there is a thing you can't do. Your art, your cooking, your html skills... I'm a blessed girl & I looooove you! Thank you for being so sweet to me and my little blog. I know I spend way too much time staring at this screen instead of you spending time with you. Thanks for putting up with me and helping me and investing in me always. Love you!

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what I love more: the picture you took from your bike, or the bike itself. I love them both! I wish they were all MINE! However, I am purposefully choosing to enjoy the photos you've posted as a "Monday brightener", instead of seething with jealousy over it! ;)
