Long Time, no see

I knew I had been putting this off, but until now I didn't realize how long it's been since my last post. I'd like to think I've been doing something productive, but not so sure. I guess it depends on how you look at it.

My last post back on June 1st, I talked about the goals I set for myself at the start of the year. I have been working on them, and have some progress to report. I did get my permit to carry, and learned a lot from the class. We had to shoot to get our certificate, and I somehow managed to get one dead center, no pun intended.

The carrots are growing, and probably won't need too much thinning. The garden might be a focus for tomorrow, depending on how hot it ends up getting. We might need to set up the pool to cool off too.

I have just under 350 miles on my bike, and only 20 days left to reach my goal. I took the afternoon off yesterday and put on 22 miles. When the alarm went off this morning to take my ride, I turned it off and fell back asleep. 

I dug out the goal jeans tonight looking for another pair, and got them on, buttoned, and zipped, but couldn't move. That doesn't meet the goal but is still a good sign. 

I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but I've taken it pretty easy this summer on events. I was gone too much last year from the family, and that needed to change. We've been finding plenty to do, there hasn't been a quiet weekend yet. Tomorrow's event I was signed up for ended up not working out for me- the hubby signed up for something, and we couldn't leave the boys alone. Cost wise, it made more sense for me to stay home than him. But this is the only weekend in who knows how long I will be able to get to the swapper's meet, and I need more tomato cages.

It's going to be a hot weekend, and I will either be sewing, typing or laying out in the sun. I can't wait!
