a note on croquet:

yesterday, we played a little croquet. steven and i got it as a wedding gift.  i pretty much lost. well, i was losing and then i somehow got in first for like 5 minutes and then was back at the bottom. it was fun. then we all went to golden spoon. 

a side-note on golden spoon,

or informally known as g.s.: 

i fear that our trip last night 

will be one of the last times

this summer--no more gift cards

or freebies on our stamp cards,

so we can't go as often as i'd like

{which we know is once a week.

i'd even take every other week.}

a note on yoga:

every saturday morning, i do a little peak 8 training {here and here} and then my favorite yoga class. i should say, a yoga class with my favorite yoga teacher. 

a side-note on my yoga class:

[life is not good 

when i miss that 

yoga class. 

unless, of course, 

i miss it because i'm in 

california 

or arizona 

or getting married 

or something cool like that.]

a note on tennis:

i wish i were good. steven's brother, michael pictured above, is pretty darn good for his 14 year old self. but of course, he was trained by steven as a young lad. i've been watching wimbledon while at the gym. i'm still learning the whole game-set-match point thing {which, apparently points don't even matter. it's like 15-30-40, and i'm used to points counting and going 1-2-3-4...}but it is fun to watch. serena williams is a beast. and remember how steven gave me a lesson the other day? and remember how i have like 3 tennis skirts? well, they are running/workout skirts but tennis is a workout, so duel function. steven should be home from work in t minus 3 minutes, so i better put that tennis skirt on so we can hit the courts tonight!

one last side-note on...:

steven. 

we're pretty much 

in love.

like a lot.

and i'm thinking

this week i'm going to do some posts

about our love story

and our wedding day.

just for the record.

and because i may be bored

when he is at work and

i have straightened and

cleaned the condo

10 times over.

adieu.

and a happy sabbath to you.

{that rhymes. and that is why i teach first grade. or will be teaching since i taught second.}
