Happy Friday, everyone! My multitasking this morning is medal worthy. I am attempting to make coffee, type with my right hand, eat cheerios with my left hand and send pictures of puppies to Chris's email account all at once. Chris will roll his eyes when he sees the pictures of the puppies, but he secretly loves them and wants one as well.
So I wasn't going to write again QUITE so soon, but I actually had to after what happened last night. Let me explain.
Yesterday started out like any other Thursday. I ate breakfast, watched the Kardashians (yes, I watch them), and started trying to get fifteen things done at once. I have been told that it is best to focus on one thing at a time, but alas, that is impossible. I pay my bills, order my books for class, do a tutorial on how to go to school online (so strange) and head to Starbucks to write. No, I am not going through some Thoreauvian (word check here, folks) right of passage. Rather, I am writing to be paid (ohhhh glorious money) and also working on school applications. You know, the ever fun "Please write a personal statement about yourself. Please tell us everything we should know and make us fall in love with you as a person. Please do not exceed 500 words." Umm, so what you are saying is, my worth in life as a person has been reduced to 500 words? I can't just shrink the font? Look, I'm a talker. I started writing and all of the sudden looked down and saw I was at 1,100 words and HELLO I was only 3/4 of the way done!
Anyway, 3.5 hours, a blueberry scone and orange mango smoothie later, I was starving and decided it was time to go home.
Chris and I made chocolate chip pancakes, scrambled eggs and toast for dinner. Chris was in charge of the pancakes, I was in charge of the eggs. I would like to admit to the world that we use the Aunt Jemima "Just add water" mix. We did however, grow the grain and bake the bread. Kidding.
After dinner, Chris says, "Let's go on a bike ride!" YES. I am pumped. Backtrack with me for a moment- two days ago, we bought bikes off of Craigslist for $35 bucks each. Mwahahaha what a steal. I throw on my flip flops and race him outside. We wave hello to our next door neighbors and hop on our bikes.
I head towards the dead end and then, IT HAPPENS. THE RIGHT PEDAL OF MY BIKE FALLS OFF. ARE YOU EVEN KIDDING ME?! I did what one HAS to do in this situation. I laughed uncontrollably. Chris was not quite sure what to do- he laughed, he felt bad, I just sat on the grass and died. Convinced I could fix the pedal with my bare hands, I attempted to for a solid twenty minutes before Chris came outside with a wrench and I broke down and let him fix it. What a man.
It was getting dark but we were determined to ride so we did. A discovery that was made was that we are about a three minute bike ride from an indoor skating rink and a YMCA! Best day ever! We checked out the rink and grabbed some flyers.
Back at home we researched puppies (ahem) and ate some icecream. Chris ate his out of a very tiny bowl. I ate mine out of my ice cream therapy mug (fits a pint). Juuuuust another night in Indiana.
And now we have arrived at Friday and I must run to babysit. But I believe a trip to the state fair is in order for the weekend so stay tuned!
Lots of love, corn and football.
XO
