An interesting day
It was a interesting day. Not really in the fortune cookie sense, but still...I did have a fun time a The Shop, and even got some good work done there. My evening was wonderful! T and I are celebrating 13 years of marriage as of tomorrow, and we went out tonight to see Harry Potter 6 and have dinner in honor of the occasion. Thank you, Sweetie!
What a pleasant surprise then to come home and see AuntiSocial and Erik here to play wii with punkmom ! I sat down to watch the fun - and even played a little - as they enjoyed Boogie. It was fun, even I don't really have the controls figured out!
Tomorrow will be a bit busy as I will be packing in the morning for a trip to see Hearst Castle with punkmom, T, and Ru on Tuesday. I have to do the packing part amongst going to yoga in the morning, getting to the bank and to work, where I have a meeting and a private lesson scheduled across the afternoon. I'm hoping I can squeeze all that in to the available space/time continuum!
We are also in a 2 week countdown to leaving for Sock Summit! I'm really excited at having this opportunity both to take our shop on the road and to actually see Portland. I've always just driven through Portland, and I understand that it's a beautiful city. We'll be closing the shop for the trip, from August 4-11, 2009; we'll re-open on the 12th and I'm sure we'll have plenty of stories to tell!
Ru or I may get to come home with a new bicycle as part of the trip: the hotel where we're staying has a pool and treadmills, but no exercise bike. After some thought, T pointed out that it may be cheaper to just buy another bike rather than rent one. Ru needs a new one anyway, and one that fits her will fit me, too. My bike trainer is a very small, folding unit, so we can just throw that into one of the cars headed up to Portland. It should be interesting! If anyone has recommnedations for bike shops in Portland, especially in the downtown area, please let me know! If possible, I'd much rather spend my dollars at a family owned or other small business than a chain store.
For now, off to make tea and go to bed. Night all!
