My First Bike Ride

I've been quite productive already today and am ready for the rest of my Sunday to be lazy relaxed. I got up way too early for my liking (6:30), made breakfast (sipped a mimosa), walked Sami and then took my new bike for a spin.  I only went about 4 miles but for this out of shape girl (walking every day doesn't prepare a body for longevity on a bike) that's a good start.  If I walk Sami her two miles every day and then do a short ride on my bike, that's pretty good, right? 

Last night didn't quite end up like we had planned.  Most of the neighbors pussed out on our cookout so Jim and I just went next door to eat.  We all chit chatted for a bit  and then forced coerced our other neighbors to bring their meal over and eat with us. They're going through a bit of "stuff" and needed to just relax and take a break from the stresses of their lives. 

Jim had worked all day long and was exhausted so we came home and went to bed around 8:30.  Apparently, after we left, there was some drama with the contractors that are retiling the neighbors bathroom and this morning, the cops are here taking a report.  These contractors basically started work on the bathroom without a contract and without giving a solid figure for the cost.  They are trying to charge them $1700 just to tear the old tile out.  They're saying that it was for 4 guys working 26 hours.  First of all, they only tore our on Friday so how was that 26 hours and secondly, 4 guys wouldn't even fit in that bathroom.  Additionally, when I was out mowing the lawn on Friday, two guys were standing in the driveway yuckin' it up for the whole time.  Was that part of the 26 hours? Should be interesting to see where this all goes.  The contractors were told by my neighbor to get their equipment out of their garage by 9:00 this morning or it would go out to the curb.  Being Sunday and garbage night, the pickers will pick that crap up in a hot minute. 

And that's about all I've got.  I'm currently watching the French open.  Go Nadal.  K - happy Sunday...later!
