Hey CW!

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. frown I was booked all day and then this evening I went out to dinner with a GF from Montreal. She knows my sitch and had some very insightful comments that I will share on my thread when I get some time.

.........(drum roll............) Here's what I did during my weekend. Started out slow. Slept in Saturday morning (YEAH!!!!!), made myself frozen waffles with fat free whipped cream........(how am I doing so far???? confused). Then I sat down and finished my online CPR training (~ 3hrs). This made me feel better since my deadline for this is fast approaching, but it wasn't really much fun. (How am I doing now? crazy) Trimmed my hedges (that made me happy! smirk ).... Then went for a nice bike ride and caught the tail end of a community 9/11 tribute at a local bandshell. When I got home I did some taping to prep for painting I need to finish in my kitchen..............

On Sunday morning, I slept in again (YEAH!!!!!!!!!!).........then things got better........I went to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, which is kinda like Disney World would be if Disney World had been built during the Middle Ages. (If you're ever in this part of the world in August, September, or October, it's worth checking out). I hadn't been there in many years, so enjoyed it!.........and I bought myself 2 lovely necklaces and matching earrings: 1 for my birthday and 1 as a bombaversary present. In fact, I have decided to make a new tradition which is that every year on the bombaversary I am going to buy myself something nice.

When I got home, I took another nice bike ride............fell and scraped my knee really well when a small child riding opposite to me on the trail decided to turn around and talk to his younger brother just as we were about to pass one another. When he turned his head around, his bike made a 90 degree turn right in front of me. I couldn't get my shoe unclipped from my pedal in time and fell hard. Ouchhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! cry

That said..................CW, I cede the fun-a-thon championship to YOU!!!!!! Your weekend sounds like it was A LOT of FUN!!!!! I may have had a few moments of "brilliance" wink but I think they were more than negated by the negative points I racked up by doing CPR training and hedge trimming.

YOU ARE A FUN GIRL!!!!!!! I just want you to remember that should you for any reason not be able to carry out the responsibilities of your crown, I will be more than happy to wear your tiara. laugh
