Wow - something that had NOT been on my list! lol

So my son-in-law has a Jeep.  On Mother's Day he took the top off which was fine - it was like a convertible.  But on Saturday we went out on the road with NO DOORS!  Even with seat belts it can be a little scary taking sharp corners so finally - since he couldn't take the screaming any more (although I think he enjoyed it!) - he would just yell out "Turn coming up!"  We had a wonderful time but I'm still recovering from heat exhaustion.  We went house hunting and all but one of the houses was vacant, meaning not even so much as an open window in the close-to-100 degree heat, then getting into the car in the sun with no AC.  I eventually figured out that if I let my leg hang out it increased the breeze - my daughter chastised me because everyone could see my underwear (I was wearing a dress) but I figured for the split-second someone passed us their brain wouldn't register seeing my underwear - hey - at least I was wearing it (hmm... making going commando should be on the summer bucket list)!  

I've been in the pool every day - especially since going back and reading the first blog post I wrote while I was recovering from total knee replacement.  I laughed when I read my story of how I just walked right into the water with my crutches and all my clothes on.  My intention was only to dangle my toes in the water, but I couldn't help myself and went all the way in.  Reading that reminded me that when the weather is hot, the place to be is in the pool. I even went into the pool this morning before work - every summer... around the last day of August I ask myself why I haven't done that every day.  So this time I'm ahead of the ball, and now I have the whole months of July AND August to enjoy the pool - followed by breakfast out on the deck.  I may never go to work....

But, what I SHOULD add to my summer bucket list is reading lessons.  I thought the horseback lessons I had signed up for were in Marlborough (next to where I live) but instead that are in Middleborough - more than an hour away.  No matter... I'm trying to reach them to see if I can take one 2-hour lesson instead of 2 1-hour lessons.  No way I'm driving down there twice!  Hopefully they will understand and let me do it that way.

My water aerobics class starts tonight.  I have to go straight from work and won't be getting home until after 8, so I packed a PB sandwich and a banana to have before class.  If I'm still hungry when I get home I have wonderful leftovers from our BBQ dinner last night.

Well - have a great day and enjoy your Monday!
