3 Day Weekends are the Best!

Yesterday I took a day off and had a three day weekend. We were thinking about going snowboarding or seeing "Wicked" in LA but we ended up just hanging out. So, here are the happenings for the weekend/Mon:

Sat.
-Went on a ride. Ben's bike broke and so he had to turn around and go back...never fun. We kept going though (don't worry, we tried to turn back with him but he insisted that we should keep going and not turn back.)
-Had Muzzio's for lunch...a deli downtown that has all of this yummy imported food. My favorite sandwich has fresh buffalo mozzeralla, basil leafs, roma tomatoes, and balsamic vinegar on a sourdough roll...YUMMMM! We also spotted some "Lady Fingers" while we were there and so that inspired Jason to make his true authentic Italian tiramisu (a recipe that he got from his italian professor in Italy). Needless to say, Jason's parents and I were quite excited to get to take part in that treat!

Sun.
-Went to church, which is always fun!
-Had lunch with my fam at Costco...yum! :-)
-Went climbing at SLO-Op and conquered some new routes...which my arms are still sore from!
-Watched the edited version of "Troy" on AMC. It was ok. It's one of those movies where you can truly say, "Everyone dies in the end."
-Stayed up till 12am and finished my purse that I have been working on. I like it. The colors are bold but fun. It was a simple pattern...well, there wasn't a pattern. I think I saw the same design somewhere and went with it. Let's see if I can get a picture on here.

Mon.
-Slept in...yay!
-Went to Linnea's for lattes and apple turnovers.
-Browsed Mountain Air Sports.
-Tried climbing again...big mistake. I was so weak and tired from the day before.
-Went on a ride...that felt good.
-Got my $10 tax refund in the mail...wowie wow, I will try not to spend it all in one place.
-Even more exciting, I got my fabric samples in the mail. Yay. I think that I will be going with the last fabric post. It's super fun!

The happenings of 5 minutes ago

"Excuse me but you have something on your chin." -Random man who walks into the office.

"What?"-Me

"Um, yeah, you have something on your chin." -Random man who walks into the office

"Oh, really?" -Me

Frantically grabbing a kleenex and wiping chin thinking, "what could it be? mental check: what did I eat, oh gosh, a bean and cheese burrito."

Random man who walks into the office leaves...(weird, did he see the cheese on my chin through the office window and think, "What a pathetic girl, someone needs to tell her that she has a huge piece of melted cheese stuck to her chin, I'll go do that right now") He didn't even say why he came in! Maybe HE was embarassed and felt ackward and so he left. I don't know.

And now I'm sitting here, some-what embarassed, and yet...I can't help but laugh at myself. So, the next time you eat a bean and cheese burrito...look out for the cheese. Nobody likes a cheesy chin!

**Edit: So the guy ended up coming back an hour later and asked for a lawyer's office. hmmm...where did he go? Anyways, I wasn't really embarassed until I saw him walking up the second time...then I was really really embarassed. I think it's becuase he left right after he told me about my burrito blunder without saying anything. I really think he left becuase he felt ackward. What a weirdo. He actually did seem "different" when he asked for the lawyer's office. He had a weird beanie on...not that that is the mark of a weird person. Ok, I'm done.

*Sigh* It's Friday

Here is a super corny little poem about Friday that I thought of in the shower this morning...

It's 6am, the alarm clock sounds,
I can't seem to get up today.
The fifth day, it seems like the tenth,
I push the snooze, "just five more minutes,"
Maybe I can call in sick?

I come to my senses, throw off the covers,
And scamper to the shower.
Open the drawer, look at my jeans,
But some how end up in trousers.
Comtemplate flip-flops, those won't go
Grab uncomfortable shoes.
Paint on make-up, a wet sloppy bun?
No, that just won't do.
Plug in the blow dryer, brush my hair,
Run out the door, I'm five minutes late.
I forgot my lunch, and to brush my teeth,
But wait...

Today is the fifth day and we know what that means...

It's Friday and tomorrow I can...
Push the snooze a hundred times,
and pretend to be sick.
But, who wants to do that when it's Saturday
and I can wear my jeans and "flips"
I can not brush my hair, and not wear make-up,
although I probably will. :-)
I can do whatever I want, it's the weekend and...
can you tell that I'm only slightly thrilled?!?

So, here's to all of you working peeps who know exactly what I mean!!!:-) I would imagine that this applies also to all of the very noble stay at home mamma's who get to have their husbands home to help with the kiddies! Yay for Friday!!!!

A New Look

Well, I changed my Blog and...TADA! Here it is in all of it's glory. I had some fun trying to make it "unique". Not sure if that's possible in the Blog realm but I did my best. Anyways, I changed the title, went with a biking theme, and used red as an accent. I'm loving red accents lately...paired with almost any color. The title seemed appropriate because at this point life for me has so many possible directions that it could take. So, rather than freak out and stress about what may or may not happen, I'll just trust the Lord and go along for the ride...and it reminds me of mountain biking so there you have it!

On another note...can I just say that I love Julianna Wiskow! What a fabulous person!!!! She discipled me, Autumn, and Jenny for a year or so. She moved to Colorado my freshmen year of college and I've seen her a couple of times since then. She did a spontaneous vacation to CA with her roomie and I managed to get work off so that I could hang out with her yesterday. We caught up on all of the latest happenings in our lives, had Woodstocks for lunch, went hiking up Bishop's, and enjoyed our 78 degree weather. What a fun time! Thanks for a great day Julianna!!!

Under Construction...

My Blog is under construction, please pardon the mess! :-)

Another fabric option...

This designer is Sandi Henderson and her line is called Ginger something...I can't remember the name. Anyways, here are some fabric swatches. I want 11 prints for my quilt and so I'll have to search out 2 more prints to go with this. What do you think?

I stole $10 and a box of cookies from a Girl Scout

So, I went to the bank on Fri. Upon arriving I saw that there was one of my beloved Girl Scouts selling those yummy Carmel Delight cookies. I had just took out a $20 bill from the ATM and so I bought a box for "$6". I place $6 into quotes for a reason! :-)

When counting out the change to me the little girl went, "10, and 1, 2, 3, 4, $14!" I said thank you and walked away. It was 6:00pm and it was pretty dark at that point. I didn't count the money becuase I couldn't really see it. I just stuffed it into my wallet. After that I went to the movie store and got a movie. When I went to pay for the movie I was going to pull out the $10 bill I thought I had. It wasn't there. All I had was a $20 bill and 4- $1 bills. I was so confused. So I paid for the movie and sat in the car wondering how this could happen. Then it hit me! The little girl...probably becuase it was dark and she couldn't see either, gave me BACK my $20 thinking that it was a $10 bill and gave me 4- $1 bills to go with it. So, I basically ended up with a box of Girl Scout cookies and $4 more then I started with...since the box cost $6 I pretty much gained $10 out of the deal and the cookies. Anyways, when I went back to fix the damage done they had already left. Darn. Sorry Girl Scouts of America. I'll try to make it up to you! :-)
