Janet was super excited about her bike. She went around Oak Bay on Friday for about 35 minutes and was feeling pretty good. Phil bought her an odometer so she could see how far she actually went. In our humble doggie opinions, Phil seems a tad enthusiastic on Janet's bike riding. We hear things like "of course you can do a 50K ride, practice isn't necessary" or "don't even give the heavy traffic on the way downtown a second thought". Could Phil have increased Janet's life insurance? We like to think not, but we have to admit, Janet doesn't bring a whole lot of income into the house.
On Sunday, look what she did:

| Over 9K on her second bike ride. She went around Oak Bay again, and was elated! She was so happy, she told Phil she was going to ride her bike to yoga on Monday. |

Sadly, on Monday, her bubble was burst. To get to yoga, she had to ride on roads where there was some traffic, so she was very nervous. She told Phil she had no clue that our house is actually located at the bottom of a very deep valley, as it appeared to be all uphill to get out of Oak Bay. Then there was the yoga! Then there was the ride home! She was so pooped! Janet told Phil her hands were tired from clenching the handlebars and her face was tired from grimacing whenever a bus came near! She didn't cry, but we are pretty sure she wanted to.

Well, that was yesterday! Today is a new day, that thus far, doesn't involve her bike. Today after work, Janet made Macadamia Nut Chocolate Chip Cookies and some Pesto. Janet LOVES pesto and used up all that she had made from the summer, when bunches of basil were inexpensive at the Farmer's Market. Two weeks ago, she needed a bit more for Easter dinner, so had Phil buy some at Ottavio. It was $6 for the teeniest container! Safeway had basil on sale for $2.50/bag so Janet bought three and made some pesto.

| Not pesto...just the cookies! |

| The purchased version from Ottavio was about 2 ice cubes worth. |
Good for you Mom! You've got to start somewhere!
ReplyDeletePS. If you are looking for a home for some of those cookies, I know a stomach that is more than welcome to accommodate them.
You said you didn't want any as you would have to eat them all by yourself? Changed your mind? I have some in the freezer!
