7 Quick Takes

I got up at 5:45 this morning and headed to the gym.  I finally got my gator1 card and gym membership so I'm happy.  It just takes 20 minutes to drive to the gym and 20 minutes to drive back so that kinda stinks, but if I keep getting up early before Gabe goes in to school then I should be fine.  It felt great to be back on the treadmill again.

So we never did go down to visit Melissa like we had originally planned for this week.  She is sick.  :(  We were going to try and meet up at the Tampa Aquarium for the day but I just didn't think I was up for the 2 1/2 drive each way by myself.  Plus Melissa is still sick (prayers for a quick recovery!)  Hopefully we will make it down there for a visit sometime in October.

Last night was book club meeting and instead of meeting at someone's house, we met at a hibachi grill restaurant.  The fellowship and food were both delightful although I hope this bad stomach I have this morning isn't due to the restaurant food.

Kieran & Aidan are both teething.  Aidan still hasn't gotten his two year molars but he has been having fevers and Kieran has had a runny nose for the past couple weeks now. Kieran still doesn't have any teeth poking through and he is now 8 1/2 months.  I wonder when the first one will make an appearance?

I have a bunch of bananas that I need to peel and put in my dehydrator.  I just love dried bananas.  I am excited to try drying some other types of fruits as well as make fruit leathers.  I also have a pineapple sitting in the kitchen.  Maybe I should throw that on there too.

My Mom and sisters sent a package this week that included some delicious cookies.  It was a nice treat.  I love getting packages in the mail even if its just stuff we've ordered.  We've been getting a couple packages every week this past couple weeks and it has been delightful.  I enjoy getting any type of mail and I do miss writing and receiving letters.

Today I am planning to relax around the house with the boys due to my bad tummy ache.  Hopefully Gabe will get off work early so we can have an early start to our weekend.  Happy weekend everyone!
