Day in pictures: June 13, 2009

[froggy_dear]

Took photos of my day yesterday. We played a lot of Super Mario 3!


I had the idea that I would do a day in pictures on Friday, so I had the camera ready and took this photo right after getting out of bed in the morning - I have my mouth guard in.


I decided that a bike ride was in order for the morning (even though I was getting a kind of a late start), but breakfast is necessary.


This is the bike I ride on:


Look! No miles!


I headed out to the local bike trail/narrowest state park ever, and headed out.


I rode the 2.5 miles from that sign to the next road over, then I rode up the rode a mile and a half and back to the trail where I continued riding west for another mile or so. This is as far as I went:


The view from this point is really quite nice:


Zoom!


And along the trail:




I rode a bit on the local streets, on a slight decline, and was freaked out when a car pulled up along side me - then I noticed I was going 25 MPH. Woah. I'm getting less freaked out about speed on my bike, I guess. Getting more confident about it all around I think. On the way home I stopped at a yard sale and bought a travel pillow... red eye flight in a month!


And look! 12 miles! Not bad.


Then I took some photos of the cat. Meow.



And I read my internetz... after it loaded.


I took some allergy medicine because I was full of sniffles.


Daniel and I headed downtown to the farmer's market.


I bought some strawberries there, but there was nothing else for us. A couple of days ago we got coupons for free stuff at the 7-11. So I we stopped in on the way home.


I got a slurpee!! The straw is 3x the height of the cup.


Got home, and I washed the strawberries. They were gone by the afternoon. I looove fresh summer strawberries.


Then we played Super Mario 3


And I knit on my sock


We played until lunchtime and decided to go down to a local restaurant for lunch. Unfortunately, commencement had just completed and the place was swarmed. We didn't eat there. I was sad.


All the walking and biking and not eating had me tired. I flopped down on the bed with my cat.


Lunch was not exciting.


I ate my lunch, got out my knitting, and we watched A Fistful of Dollars. The cat sat on my lap.


Something went wrong with my knitting. I tried to figure it out (I forgot a yarn over. Silly me.)


I figured it out. And we played more Super Mario 3.


I took some photos of my knitting and uploaded them. Read the internet some more.


Since our lunch plans were thwarted, we headed down to the Thai restaurant for dinner. I got a a Thai iced coffee and pad thai. The iced coffee was really good for the first couple of sips, but, by the end, I couldn't stand it. I have leftover pad thai for lunch today. Yum!


Daniel had the yellow curry fried rice. He liked it, really. :)


Then we headed to the dollar store. I love the dollar store. I didn't need anything from there, but I had to go! Look at the stuff!


Then there was more knitting and Super Mario 3!



What a nice sock I'm making


Even though most activities occurred several hours ago, I was exhausted. All I could do was lay on the couch and watch Return to the Planet of the Apes with Daniel.


After an episode, I got my second wind, so I started work on redesigning my scarf.


Business Cat let me know that it was dinner time


So I fed her. She appreciates that. Especially when I give her canned food. Cat likes her some fish.


By this time, it was after 10. Daniel went to bed, but I was still well awake, so I test knit the redesign of the scarf and watched some teevee on the you tube.


After a couple of episodes, I was done and ready to head to bed. So I brushed my teeth and off to bed with me!


So a good day. Lots of knitting, lots of videogames, and a good morning bike ride. Probably not so interesting to look at, though. Oops.
