And so it begins...

Or began, Monday.
After a week long vacation with Adam to Florida, where skies were blue and sundresses required. I'm already wanting to go back!

Now we're back in Des Moines, tanned and relaxed, and ready to tackle summer non-vacation. I say non-vacation because Adam just started his job, and I will be nannying 5 days a week, as well as taking two classes. It's going to be busy!

Some plans for the summer:

• Paint (on canvas)
• Get back on an exercise routine (just got a Y membership!)
• Cook
  
• Spend a lot of time with friends that are in town
• BIKE!

On Monday, I found a bike on Craigslist, $45, barely used. Adam came along to pick it up, and let's just say it's a good thing he was with me.

I really haven't ridden a bike since I was 12--not consistently at least. So a few weeks ago when I went on a two hour bike ride, it really sparked some interest with the childhood memories flooding back and everything.
So here we go! Gas is $3.80/gallon. Why drive when you can bike?

Happy Thursday! (Half off bottles of wine at Macaroni Grill, free drinks if it's your birthday at Wellman's...why not start the weekend now?)
