kevin and i are about to go on a bike ride. it\u2019s already getting pretty warm outside, and i told him we don\u2019t have to go biking if he doesn\u2019t want to, but he\u2019s putting a new inner tube on his tire and then we\u2019re going. i can\u2019t believe it\u2019s already 12:30 in the afternoon. i was up at eight, but the morning simply disappeared.<\/p>\n
i can\u2019t think of anything productive that i actually did, and you\u2019d think i\u2019d remember what i just did because it just happened. i made a peach cobbler. i wrapped two gifts for amy. i mixed together four loaves of french bread. i wrote down everything i need to do\/buy in the upcoming week. <\/p>\n
BECAUSE WE\u2019RE LEAVING A WEEK FROM TOMORROW.<\/p>\n
yesterday i bought three pairs of black pants. excessive? definitely. i went crazy trying them on, but also relieved that i found some that fit. i tried on a million more pairs than i did the day before yesterday. and i found these three pairs and thought I CERTAINLY DON\u2019T NEED THREE PAIRS OF BLACK PANTS, but i couldn\u2019t decide. i was thinking of asking the woman in the next booth what she thought, but then after trying them on many times, i decided to buy them all and try them on for kevin and see what he says.<\/p>\n
i bet you a dollar he\u2019ll say “why don\u2019t you keep all of them?” as a matter of fact, i bet you TWO dollars that that\u2019s what he\u2019ll say. or even FIFTY dollars.<\/p>\n
so now i have plenty of pants to take on our trip. plus a black sweater. i have about five or six black sweaters, but none of them are warm enough, and most are 3\/4″ sleeves, which wouldn\u2019t do.<\/p>\n
kevin bought me a new bike helmet. now i have three of them. but the two i had were too loose and couldn\u2019t be adjusted any tighter. so now i have a fancy one that fits. <\/p>\n
my friend gary wrote to me and said that he went to new zealand and managed to take only one 22″ suitcase. maybe he just went overnight? that seems like a mighty small suitcase.<\/p>\n
i talked to somebody about packing, and she said exactly what i feel – she likes to have options when she goes. THAT\u2019S why i always pack too much. i hate to be locked into having a meager choice of clothes. but i have to do it this time, there\u2019s no choice. not to mention all the washing-out-at-night that will have to be done.<\/p>\n
ok, off we go to bike…<\/p>\n
