Saturday things

 M & I had a fun evening last night when he got home from work. We sat by the pool with a drink & discussed upcoming travel plans, and preferences for a few of our outings. We also played cards for a bit, while we waited for the teens to solidify their evening plans. No one was having dinner with us, so I went ahead & planned a dinner for two. Now, I made this mistake earlier in the week, and we ended up having four people, two of whom joined just as I was plating the food. That was a scramble. ;-) This time, there were really just two of us. I made a salad (lettuce from the garden!) & found two burger patties M had grilled a few weeks ago. I made a homemade aioli with mayo, whole grain mustard, garlic salt & sriracha. And, a bowl of chopped fresh tomatoes, with salt & pepper. It was delicious. No leftovers, which is perfect.

As for today, I'm hoping to get a chance to play pickle ball with M, but here's the rest of my to do list:

• Work out
• Volunteer at soccer event from 11-2
• Help Nick with college essays. We have a few that are very close to final draft phase!
• Stop by the grocery store for dinner items
• Daily chores: journal, language lesson, meditate, water the plants, garden
• Laundry
• Start packing for the relay + trip to Portland
• List a few more things on eBay & Buy Nothing

What about you? What are you up to today?
