Other progress type stuff!

Today was a really fun day!  Audrey got out of working today, so we spent the day together.  Went and got some delicious fresh fruit from the farmers market, got some of my new favorite cookies from Sugar Bug.  Had the Burger (sort of) I've been craving, though I ended up getting the dirty bird grilled chicken burger, which was a blackened chicken breast with pico de gallo and chipotle mayo on it.  Very tasty!

After lunch, we took my bike to REI to see what it would take to get it up and going again.  Probably a few hundred dollars.  So that sucked, but I knew it needed a lot of work.  So I'm going to look for a decent used or cheap new bike to get me up and running again.  We're going to check out a swap meet and see if there's anything there.  I had a classmate tell me he found some bikes for a good deal there a few months ago.  I'm a little afraid anything we find might be stolen, but I don't really know what to think about that or how I would know.  I'm also going to check out craigslist, but I'm not sure what is good, or what is garbage, and it seems like it will be tough trying to figure that all out.  I've got about 6 weeks or so until class starts, so I'd like to get a bike going by then.

We also went to see Inside Out this afternoon, and it was great!  Very funny, with a few sad moments.  Very entertaining and well done, I highly recommend it.

After that, we went to Home Depot, and checked out some plants.  We ended up getting a cool hanging basket, a spiky tree and some lavender.  If we can keep these things alive for a couple of weeks, we're gonna get some more stuff to purtty up the homestead a bit.

The spiky tree is pretty small right now, but Audrey's grandparents have one that has grown very big and it pretty cool.  So hopefully it survives our black thumbs.
