Thank goodness it's Friday. Especially after such a shitty week (at work). The weather was yet again farkin' wonderful today - in the high 70s, and slightly dramatic with a few passing thundershowers. Work itself was a typical excersize in frustration (dealing with ABBA). I put his punk ass in his place, when I point out his stupidity and lack of respect - I act as his barometer for his asshole meter, even though I'm the crap buffer for the folks that I work with. Must be the middle child thang - diplomat.
So I was rearing to get out of there - and biked out to Purcellville, a mere relaxing 44 miles - it was just charmingly beautiful, albeit a little windy with a storm front coming in. I banked on that the storm was coming in from the West, so I knew it would blow me home - twas a relaxing spinner type ride on the way back with the tailwind. As soon as I got to my car it began to rain.
I ran a few quick errands after my ride, picked up some provisions to cook for my parents at my place next weekend - will make a roasted Leg of Lamb (rosemary & garlic, et al). I also picked up a few gardening things for my deck garden and was excited to come home to begin preparing my window boxes to plant this week. I took the effort to uproot all the old spent things from last fall, till and add new ground soil & potting soil. Then I planted 2 rosemary plants in a tin planter that I picked up (pictured below).

Finished that fun task and then planned my evening around after watching
Derailed which was a fun farked up paranoid thriller of not much to mention. To embark now on a late night evening of updating some blogs - including my cookblog where I need to add last weekend's entry/recipe, pay some bills, reorganize a few thangs, prepare for the rainy ride I have tomorrow afternoon, and clean/tidy for my parents to be here next weekend (not that I'm a slob...just been too busy this week).
Life is good.
