Happy mother's day, everyone!
May. 13th, 2007 12:43 pmIt has already been a lovely day, and it's not even 1:00 yet. Before it got too hot, K, M and I went on a nice, long, not-too-strenuous ride through the nicer parts of Scottsdale, and stopped for coffee at La Grande Orange. Things were a bit busy there, but the mid-ride latte really hit the spot and I felt pretty good by the end of the ride. It was nice to not feel exhausted by the time I got home.
After that, I did a few small home-improvement projects and got to put my shiny new drill to use (ah, how I love power tools). My kitchen towel rack is now firmly reattached to the wall, and I also put up one of those magnetic strips to hold my kitchen knives, which had previously been homeless. I have also been getting supplies together to build my bike ceiling suspension system, although I just discovered that I'm going to need to make another trip to the hardware store before I can install the finalized version. Some parts don't fit together quite as nicely as I'd hoped. Go figure. I also need a stud sensor before I start putting holes in things.
I just love having the time, energy, and inclination to devote to these sorts of projects. If I'm feeling really ambitious, I might even work on a few sewing projects this afternoon.
As a random aside, my father once pointed out to me that my mother really likes to hang things from little hooks/etc. I clearly share that trait with her. It's amusing to notice things like that about myself.
