Yeah, saw this thread starter and it cracked me up. Also, so appropriate as I'm about to head to the gym!

Laura - How did the bike ride go? Hopefully my snake story didn't scare you too much! First time that's happened to me in three years of co sister riding. So there's that. I had a bike accident 10 years ago, and it's taken a long time to get comfortable on a bike again. But it is worth it, and so much fun once you get comfortable! I hope you're enjoying your days off!

Marla - How was nia? Also, when is your move in day?

Yesterday was a bit of a bust food-wise. Forgot that the soup I was going to eat for lunch was actually a crockpot recipe. Had a sandwich instead but left me much less satisfied. Then for dinner was going to make a new fish recipe...only to discover I had bought everything except the fish! By that point it was too late to do anything about it and had to get some take out to feed us. Mainly because the oldest child's piano lesson was that evening and we had to get out of the house by a certain time and such. So I had KFC. But focusing on the fact that this is not a regular occurrence. Have gone to the store during the piano lesson and bought the fish (and the ground beef I had also forgotten to get for our lasagne) so now I have plenty of meals to cook!
Going for a ride on the stationary bike this morning and then have staff meeting. This afternoon hoping to sneak a small nap in and maybe get caught up on my PTO stuff and have the last of the extra stress off my back. Once I get all our contacts for the PTO updates, I can just focus on church stuff as the bulk of my PTO responsibilities will be done.
On a side note, I had texted a few people who hadn't included their emails and got their emails last Thursday. Told them I would be sending out test emails when I got contact lists updated. Had one lady text me asking where the email was at it has been about a week since I talked to them. *sigh. I'm volunteering to do this, it's only been about 3-4 days, and seriously chill out! Didn't say that to her but it was the minor annoyance of my day.

I hope you all have a great start to your September!

I've totally started to cook something only to realize I'm missing key ingredients. One of my September goals includes sitting down on the weekend to plan meals for the week, writing my grocery list, shopping & doing any necessary food prep so I don't find myself in that situation.

I'm lazy today. I brought the cat to the vet this morning, washed sheets & remade the bed, and that's it. My running group moved to Tuesday nights starting this week so I will join them in just under an hour. It's warm & humid, which does not make me want to run, but I can't quite bring myself to blow it off.

Bike ride was pretty good Val. It was better just riding for fun. I had my Garmin on so looked at speed & distance after but didn't worry about it on the ride. Just need to get out there more often.

Hope Nia was good Marla!

Hi Val and Laura!

Nia is M,W,F so not today, we went to a park and took a long walk, had a good bike path so going to bring bikes there in a few days, I havent ridden much in last few years so need to get back with it. I have a bike I love with basket that comes off easy for shopping and I plan to bike a lot at new place which has no hills to store, have to work up to that! Lol

I also have a cute ladybug ringer on my bike that goes ca-ching ca-ching love it!

Faxed wire to bank about payoff for house. I am so excited for first time in my life to own a house 100%

We leave on 14th but stay in motel that night as carpets are being cleaned, will let cats sleep in their beds in garage though, I can't tell you how happy I will be to stop having to drag them around in my car. I almost feel like spending extra tohave someone clean my car inside when this is over.
