Because Toilet Paper Should NOT be NAKED?





Why? Why? Why? If the spare roll is THAT embarrassing to have out, try putting it under the sink or in a drawer or in the closet. Has anyone EVER taken the spare roll from under one of these covers? The same folks that use these never light candles and leave the labels on the "nice candles." They also have matching guest towels that are scratchy and have a dusty fold line because they have NEVER been washed. AND the their toilet water is always blue. You know who I am talking about...we all know at least one.

Went on a wonderful walk along the Upper Iowa River today. The homestead pictured belongs to friends of mine and they have a great trail around the property. The boys (mine and my friend's two) had a great time and so did I!
We saw so many signs of activity of beavers, but did not see a dam. We also spotted 4 eagles, geese, wood ducks and many song birds. Even though there was not sunshine, being outside for a couple of hours was refreshing.

Bike Riding Rocks!


Went for a nice ride today with my 8 year old. He has a no speed bike and he kicked my ass! He commented how good biking is for me and let me tell you, it was truly motivating.

I learned today that I do not need to go FAST-but just simply pedal and enjoy the scenic view go by.

Tomorrow is my 44th birthday-I think I will go for a nice long bike ride again. Maybe if I put enough miles in by July, I would be able to ride a little of Ragbrai? Mmm, did I just participate unknowingly in goal setting? Mwahahhahaha.
