Another Post

This probably should be an update about how my goals are coming (hm, or not...), how I participated in the Color Run in Des Moines (way fun, even if only 2 of us made it down...there was supposed to be eight people going, so yeah...), how I stopped at the Danish Immigrant Museum--even though I'm not Danish (way interesting, though!), and partook in a real Danish meal (yum!).  Anyway, that's what this SHOULD be about, instead I'm going to tell a short story about Tim

Background:  Tim loves airplanes.  He subscribes to three aviation-themed magazines.  Two of them came in the mail yesterday.

Tim:  Guess what!?!

Me: What?

Tim: Both my magazines today had articles about planes!

Me: ........ *bursts into laughter*

Dear Tim:  You subscribe to aviation magazines; I sincerely hope they talk about airplanes.  In Tim's defence, he was talking about the Disney Pixar movie "Planes" that is coming out this week (or next week?), but he also did not clarify until after I burst into laughter.  Seriously.  Stupidest statement I heard all day.  Like I really thought that his airplane magazines was going to talk about zoos...???

Anyway, after I stopped laughing (which took about 10 minutes), I couldn't stop giggling.  And now I'm sharing it with the world.  So enjoy!  I thought it was funny.

An Update, of Sorts

Whew! Time to dust off ye old blog and give an update of happenings...

Not much happened in June...at least not much worth posting about (that's probably why I never posted in June).  About the only noteworthy thing was that I almost got sprayed by a skunk! (That's probably a slight exaggeration, as the skunk hissed at me and raised his (its?) tail as I biked past.  Truth be told, I didn't notice the skunk until I was pretty much past him....)  Other than that, I've been plugging away at my reading list (got some classics and bios knocked off! Note: Great Gatsby is a kinda depressing book, and I have no idea how they managed to execute it into a feature length film...)

July, though, so far has been pretty busy!  In the first week alone, I've made it to Blue Bunny in Le Mars for ice cream (ice cream capital of the world, yo!), America Day (hehe...hi, Tim!) fireworks (pretty sweet!), the Luverne Drive In Movie Theatre for two feature length films (didn't get home til 3:30 A.M....thank goodness for Tim, who let me sleep in and shirk responsibilities while he went to church.  Thanks, Tim! I love you!), AND went strawberry picking! To be fair, the Drive-In and strawberry picking were in the same day...

FINALLY...drumroll please...I managed to knock off "drive the 26 mile round trip from Orange City to Sioux Center" from my list! Woohoo!!!  I went with a friend, and we left at 7:00 AM on a cloudy Saturday morning, made it to Sioux Center in just under an hour, and then turned around and headed back to Orange City.  We made the trip in about 2 hours - not too shabby for hilly backroads (yeah, I was shocked, too - I didn't realize Iowa was hilly until I had to bike those beasts!!)  If that wasn't enough, that was the same day the both of us decided to go strawberry picking, too! Crazy? I think so...

So, yeah, that's about all that's new in my little corner of the world.  Happy reading, all!!
