Today has been filled with cookie making (sending them with the boys today, as they are both attending pool party/sleepovers) & turning a LOT of fresh tomatoes into this:
I can honestly say that having too many tomatoes was never a problem in Washington, but this is the second weekend in a row that I've used up 20+ pounds of tomatoes
In other news, I finished my half marathon & ran this morning! Feeling very, very happy that it was still an option with the lupus. I'm slower than I used to be, but I'll take it!
I'm a little sore & tired, but feeling pretty great. Life is about embracing changes, challenging yourself & believing that anything is possible. If you'd asked me if this was in the cards a year ago, I would have said no. What a great day!
What's the best thing that happened to you this weekend?
Congrats on the nice refund! And 20lbs of tomatoes? I'm so envious! I got two so far :)
ReplyDeleteThe tomatoes are everywhere! I'm thinking salsa this weekend. :-) Hope you get some soon!
DeleteSounds like a great day - marathon, money back from the government and your tomato cup runeth over - woohoo!
ReplyDeleteYes! Very, very good weekend. :-) It ended with my little guy in the hospital for stitches after a fall. . . somehow things always end up kind of like that, don't they? :-)
DeleteWoot on "extra" new money! Many congrats on the marathon! You go, girl! I could certainly use some home made salsa right about now. Grocery store tomatoes, for some reason, are just very low quality! It's mid summer, people!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm very excited to have finished - I was slow, but such a milestone, post-Lupus. Can't wait to tell my doctor next week. :-)
DeleteI'm with you - store tomatoes are the pits, compared to a delicious, ripe one out of the garden.
This post just makes me smile! awesome, awesome, and awesome :-)
ReplyDeleteAwww, thank you! I smile whenever I read this. Is that crazy? My own post? I can feel my own excitement coming through the picture. :-)
DeleteLOVE this! Congrats! I'm very impressed!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was such a fabulous day. I get a little emotional just thinking about it! It was mostly overcoming my own mental block that I would never run another one. I had to prove to myself that I still could!
DeleteNormally, errors in filing tax reports lead to headaches. But in your case, you even got a refund for the excess taxes from what you paid the last time. While it may have turned out great for you this time, it's still better to pay attention to the small details when it comes to taxes.
