Woke up feeling disturbed after a really weird dream, expecting to refresh with a nice long shower. Unfortunately there was no hot water, courtesy of the boiler malfunctioning yet again (which the landlord refuses to fix). Stubbed my toe on the bathtub (pain!), felt my twisted knee acting up on the walk to work (more pain!) and just now I just managed to knock over my breakfast, spilling hummus all over my desk and myself. Aargh!!! Happy Tuesday.
I feel better. Thanks for listening :-)
We rented a house through airbnb last weekend and spent 3 days near Pawling, Upstate New York. The house was beautiful with very serene energy, had a lovely deck and a grill - perfect for a bunch of friends looking to escape the city for a couple of days.
We spent the weekend relaxing, eating and then relaxing from the effort of eating. Decided to go to a nearby lake for the day on Saturday but discovered that we weren't allowed to swim, except in a tiny designated area. Ever the rebels we jumped in anyway and enjoyed 15 minutes of watery bliss before the park rangers' eagle eyes spotted us. No water no fun, so we did the next best thing: SHOPPING! (not clothes, food.)
Ended up with a full on protein-feast: steak, burgers and sausages for lunch, dinner and breakfast again... Note to self - don't let hungry men choose the meat when shopping.

Some leftovers for breakfast (there was more...)
And to finish it all off, the obligatory group photo
tired yet crazy
We are off to Kansas City tomorrow and going to hit Austin, Texas at the end of this week - am looking forward to some fabulous BBQ!
