SELF: Day Twenty-five

Today was a fabulous day. We had a fun time last night,

(that's Seth's Fun Face)

making pizzas (I had to go next door to borrow a cookie sheet because we didn't have one [Aleisha's idea was to make a huge pizza]. So off I went, to talk to the neighbour-man I've never talked to in life to ask him a favour. How very old world of me. I knocked on the door and he answered, decked out in a green t-shirt [I wonder if he knew he was dressed for the holiday?], looking quite perplexed to see me at his doorstep. When I asked for a cookie sheet, he looked even more perplexed [because somehow that was possible], until, after repeating after me three times, he finally corrected me: "A BAKING sheet." [I think he wanted to follow that up with, "Idiot".] It was good sharing. I should have brought him some fruits of our labour, but we weren't in a sharing mood once we tasted this bad boy...)



drinking wine




eating ribs...




(and telling stories about ribs long after they had been picked clean)

The Food portion of SELF is certainly being fulfilled, but so is the Love...

Thankfully, it was a sunny, sunny day today. The kind of day you can hang your washing out in...it never quite dries in ten degree weather, but the smell of line-nearly-dried towels is wicked awesome.

I need a new pair of running shoes because I've worn a full-on hole in the back of my Saucony's, so I ran to Crayford and back. It was sort of embarrassing to be sweating like a criminal in the store, but what choice does a gal have? Sometimes not having a car sucks, but drivers here are mad, so perhaps it's best that I stay on foot. The 8km round trip was pretty radical for the gams :) Anyway, they didn't have the shoes I wanted, but I ordered this pair:

They should arrive in a few days. I've not tried Nikes since I was in high school, aside from a few kicking around pairs (gosh, remember that prototype yellow pair I had for a bit? They came in Small, Medium, and Large only. They were cool), so I'm curious how they'll perform. I did a lot of research about the fact that I supinate (thank God for the internet) and this shoe was Nike's second recommendation. Cool.

Anyway, two more weeks left of school until the Big Trip to France and Germany begins. Euro-life is cool. Hope your weekend has been a smash!
