I am writing this from work because I’m so freak’n bored. It’s not that I don’t have anything to do, it’s just that everything I do have is so unbearably monotonous – updated text on ads and invites and then printing them, checking stock items, and even *gasp* adding an FDIC image to our logo. Sometimes I feel guilty – I mean, a lot of people would kill to have a full time job as a designer. But seriously, the time I spend actually being creative is about 5% of the week at most, not to mention the fact that I haven’t learned anything new in the past year and a half. Ugh.

But on to happier news. Let’s see…

Garry and I bought bikes last Friday. They’re two year old models, but because they’re 25” frames no one had bought them. They fit us perfectly, though, and last night we road to MadCat and even made it up the big hill by Edgewood without having to walk them.

Yesterday I went to the Fair… with work. Weird. We went over lunch (though we were there for over two hours). Some of us split off to go visit the animals, which was fun. I got to pet horses and cute mini goat babies. I know it would be a lot more work that my idyllic brain-view makes it seem, but I really wish I lived on a farm. Growing produce, having animals, and making food from what I grow seems so fulfilling. And I could have a horsy and name her moonbeam and ride her everywhere and put pretty little bows in her hair. Yup.

We got a free 20+ year old freezer from someone my mom knows. I’m interested to see our next electricity bill. But we were able to “put up” some peas from the Wednesday farmer’s market. Mmm, peas.
