Achievement

Several accomplishments today:

• Acquired gifts for the soon-to-be-10-year-old's birthday. ($1 Store to the rescue.)
• Managed to get new brake pads on The Husband's bike.  And the perennial flat on my cruiser finally fixed.  At least we hope so.
•Finally made a decision (and reservations) on a much-needed-get-away.  I hope it will be fun and won't break the bank.  It'll definitely be something we haven't done before.
•Went on an early bike ride.  I actually pedaled my bike, chewed some gum and sang a song at the same time. (This was after nearly passing out from the exertion of propelling myself on that bike up a hill and forgetting to breathe during the process.)  Yay for me!
