Outstanding Weekend

This past weekend rocked. Saturday included a trip to the farmer’s market for some tomatos and some scones - I also came away with some great wax beans - breakfast on the deck on our new table an chairs (yes Home Depot did finally come thorugh) and spending nearly all day Saturday with Greyson, just hanging out in the back yard. He was playing and generally acting like an 8 month old on the blanket with us, which was very entertaining. The weather was unbelievable.

Sunday, we went to the other farmer’s market in Annapolis and got some more good veggies as well as some excellent bread. Mom and Jen came down with the girls. Frank was sick. We had a nice time without him, but I wish he’d been there. I made some phat sandwiches that were grilled on the grill (who needs a panini press?). They had turkey, bacon, sprouts, spinach, provolone, and mayo on them. I grilled them on the grill for about 5 minutes and got some nice char marks on them as well as melted the cheese. They rocked. We ate them with some gaspacho that we made with the veggies that we got at the farmer’s market.

I spent the whole weekend with no watch on. This is very liberating and I suggest you try it.

I also left the windows and sun roof open on the car all weekend, luckilly it was in the carport.

Gratitude and health

This week I’m working on my understanding of gratitude. I believe that not only acknowledging that things are good in my life, but being thankful for the good things in my life will lead to greater feelings of contentment and less discontent.

Today I’m thankful that I woke up healthy.

I’m also working on ensuring that I continue to be healthy. Over the weekend, I went for three walks with Greyson. Taffy came on two of them. I also actively cut my intake of meat over the weekend, limiting meet to one meal a day. On Sunday, I actually ate no land animal meat products at all. We had fish for dinner.

Sunday aka Mother’s Day

Had a great day with the moms. I made Taffy Waffles and took care of Greyson in the morning. She relished the luxury of a hot cup of coffee. I made Gazpacho and grilled sandwiches for lunch and then went for a 20 mile ride with Frank.

Greyson is currently in my lap and not digging on me typing.

Another great day. Really, today was a great day. I spent time with Greyson this morning making him laugh which totally rocks. Nothing is cooler than when your 4 month old son laughs. I made waffles for breakfast for Taffy. They was damn good. The rain stopped. Yes, the rain stopped. It had rained since Thursday night. Now, we needed the rain, so I’m not complaining, but damn it was nice to see the sun come out.

I hopped on the bike around 1:00 and rode for an hour. I still haven’t gotten a bike computer so I can’t be sure, but I clocked a similar route in the car tonight and figured I rode about 12 miles. Now three weeks ago when I went out the first time, I was in sad shape after the ride. My butt just wasn’t used to sitting in the saddle anymore. I’m happy to say that today was easy, yes easy. And I didn’t even feel it in my can.

My hands however continue to go numb while riding. I’m gonna have to find a new stem and make some geometry adjustments, I guess.

I got to try out the new helmet and gloves. I should have bought a new helmet a long time ago. Major difference in airflow between a helmet designed in 1992 and one designed in 2008. Much more comfortable ride.

Tomorrow’s Moms day. Mom and Matt will be coming down for lunch. We’re going to have Gazpacho, Salad, and Panini’s along with Strawberry Lemonade. After lunch, Frank and I are going to go for a ride. We’ll see how I do on day two.
