Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

Everything must go!

Go… Go for a run?

I did.

I just finished 8 miles on the treadmill.  Yesterday I was thinking I would do it outside, but this morning at a hair before 6 when the dog woke me up, I really wasn’t feeling a morning run.  I was feeling sleeping in.  So I did. 

But since it’s August (HOLY CRAP IT’S AUGUST ALREADY), I knew sleeping in meant a run on the treadmill.  Sounded like a great idea until I realized that there was nothing on TV except infomercials, a very sad show about tornadoes ripping up a town in Arkansas, and “Are We There Yet?”—a really crappy movie featuring Ice Cube, which as you can see got a whopping 11% on Rotten Tomatoes.  We don’t get cable, so running on Sunday afternoons indoors is a risky move, indeed.

Duly noted.

Yesterday morning I worked on my garden and here is some of the bounty I reaped:

Cucumber salad sounds like it might have to happen.  My vegetable garden is not that big.  I just have cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, green leaf lettuce, green onion and mint.  I killed my cilantro and sugar snap peas. 

There is the lettuce…

The tomato…

All together…

My dahlias

The dahlias (other than these beauties) are actually not doing so well.  I’m thinking bushes might be better for next year, and maybe black-eyed susans (other neighbors have them and they seem to be able to stand up to the heat).

Last night we went to a surprise 30th birthday party for a friend of Mark’s.  The food was not that great (a nacho bar) but it was free.  And check out the cake!

Very cool.  I’m off to enjoy the Sunday.  Hope everyone else is too.
