Category: European Trip

An active day. I got up and cleaned. Believe me, I needed to clean. How can things get so messy? Rhetorical question but one that can be easily answered. I’ve also been wanting to go to the local Farmer’s Market for some weeks now. I’ve just had plans that prevented me from doing so. I got a dozen ears of corn and already had three of them. I love sweet corn on the cob! It’s a dinner tradition this time of year for my family. I’d never think of corn as an entire meal any other time but it’s acceptable now.

Speaking of meals, I had brunch at First Watch and some quality conversation. Good catch-up time outside that almost reminded me a little of Europe. Okay, it was just the whole sitting outside deal. But I digress… I also did a little shopping at Trader Joe’s. It’s a fairly small grocery store but you could spend a lot of time inside looking at everything for sale.

I’ve increased my run once again. Today, I got in six miles on the elliptical. I’m thankful for that. I’m going to try to get an off day run in tomorrow of three miles.

What I’m most thankful for today is the two hour nap God granted me. Why do I say this? First, that I was able to sleep for this long in the middle of the day, that’s amazing. Secondly, I didn’t turn my cell phone off and that’s just a recipe for someone to wake me up is even more amazing!

BBAD Update: Things are relatively quiet in the Big Brother house. Amber is distancing herself from the rest of the houseguests. She and Zach are upon the block. Zach is using every chance he gets to campaign for himself with everyone. I think he’s cloned himself. Everytime they change cameras he seems to be in the frame. Jessica is loving her HOH status. Jameka is also using Jessica’s win to hang out and plot with her. During Friday night’s BBAD, they showed Jameka praying and crying for a long time before Jessica came up to the room and started talking to her. Jessica also claimed she’s very into church but doesn’t bring it up much for competitive reasons. ED and Daniele spent a lot of time plotting their moves in the house. Eric’s keeping a low-profile. He doesn’t have much to worry about with Jessica in control of the house.

Lastly, I finally got some additional pictures back from Europe and my friend took one of me that I really like. You have to look at it closely but it’s a great picture and I plan on framing it. In fact, after posting it, you probably have to click on it to get the full effect.

Hope you’re enjoying you weekend so far as much as I have!
