Monday's Musings

Seattlites handle heat just about as well as they handle snow…not well. We’re a temperate bunch. Enough with the melting.

It’s hard to take a man seriously when he’s driving an electric blue corvette with the vanity plates “Sweet V”

The strawberries I enjoyed today were particularly delicious. They would be more particularly delicious if dipped in chocolate.

Favorite quote of the weekend: I didn’t even pray about the weather. There are just some things I don’t ask for. (Amen.)

I went for my first ride since the STP. Hands were numb about 6 miles in. Ugh.

I inadvertently took a 3 hour naps from 5-8 yesterday (aka the heat of the day), woke up soaking wet. Which means I didn’t fall asleep until 1 am. But I did cave and go to my parents house for their AC. Thanks pops!

I started reading Crime and Punishment. It’s not as hard as I thought it would be to read but I do I make my own names of the characters because the Russian name are too long and complicated.

Does anyone else think it’s weird that the word “monosyllabic” is 5 syllables?

There is a Fran’s Chocolates in the new Four Seasons which is on my walking route. Every day its takes all my will power to not go in and get a delicious sample of their salted caramels. However, you can add this to the list of “Things to Get Cara for her Birthday.” That, pilates lesson and a bike rack.

My Auntie Nadine is so freaking funny. I’m glad we’re not just family, but friends too.

My cube mate just brought me a Haagen Das ice cream bar which makes her officially the most amazing person I have had the pleasure to cross today.

That’s all.
