rebeccmeisterI'm on a computer at school, so this is going to be quick. I can hardly wait to get Sylvester back. I feel like a big chunk of my brain is missing.
Highlights of the weekend:
Saturday:
-Tempe Town Lake cleanup Saturday morning--litter patrol. It feels nice to volunteer, and the weather couldn't have been more perfect.
-Downtown Phoenix Public Market: nice for what was there, but altogether depressingly small (2 stands total with produce!).
-Bought and installed an odometer on my bike: Why didn't get one sooner? I love playing with numbers!
-Biked up to Inza Coffee in Scottsdale: a 30-mile round trip on a relatively nice route. They had latte art AND Central American snacks: empanadas and arepas. I was in heaven, except I was in a strip mall and the place was a bit too quiet.
-Baked cupcakes and crumpets until 11:30 in the pm. I made a lot of crumpets.
Sunday:
-Biked to South Mountain, then up the mountain to the TV Towers, then zoomed back down and out along the San Juan road, which is closed to cars. Then breakfast at Spokes, where I ate way too much, then home again: 47 miles total (assuming my odometer is calibrated properly; I suspect it's about 4% too high).
-Tea party! Oh, it was a girly event.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
figment80 made some spectacular popovers (after a minor food processor incident), A made some scrumptious shortbread, E made delicious banana bread and tea sandwiches, and we all drank a lot of excellent tea. It was a perfect day to sit outside and relax for a few hours, and it was a nice opportunity to enjoy the yard before the weather gets too hot.
And now it's the end of the weekend and my stack of work hasn't diminished one bit. So, time to get back to it. On the other hand, there's some nice overlap between the reading I need to do for class and the reading I need to do for the Manuscript of Doom: The Sequel. I just need to do more writing, that's all. And it's hard with half of my brain missing...
