Nine...

"Sunny. High around 80F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph." Today's forecast. Enough said. I'm gonna head out for an early morning bike ride and then head to Willmar to do some last minute wedding shopping. Mike asked me "what for?" I said "make-up". He said, "go to Wal-mart". I said "No". And that was that.

The finny thing is that I was at one point, (many many moons ago) a shopping queen. That pretty much stopped when I started cycling. And I bought so much stuff that it's pretty much lasted me for the last 15 years. Now I hate to shop. But there are things that are just not available in my little town, and there are things I need to have for "old time's sake". Like make-up....ha!

Yesterday, I had a bunch of errands to run (pay bills, groceries, etc) from being gone all last week, and one of the things on my "to do" list was "BUY BEER". I went to the liquor store and picked up a 12-pack of Sierra Nevada, and low and behold, they carded me! I had left my wallet in the car and so I told the gal that I was born in 1963. She said, "Sorry, but I need to see your driver's license". I said "Really?" So with a huge grin on my face, I went out to the car and got my DL and she studied it. (Made my day!)

Nine more days. We're in the single digits now.

I'm off for a ride in the glorious sunshine and it's only 7AM!
