My morning started out early today... I was at Kettlebells at 830 this morning for an hour to start out with a bit of exercise to get really get up and go. I had my first outside class this morning since we moved to our new location on Central Ave. We did a racked walked to the first loading dock down from our loading dock, about 100 meters, and then Michael had us jump onto the dock and we did pistols off the dock. It is much more challenging outside because we did not have our ropes to use for balance. I think I might even be able replicate this in my backyard with my retaining wall for the garden. I had a chance at class to also talk with Katie for the first time too other than saying hello. We talked about our CSAs and how to preserve veggies for the winter. She suggested I read the book Animal, Vegetable Miracle. She found it very insightful on how to eat local all year around. She has a great goal for the summer too; to be able to do one military style pull up by the end of the summer. I am going to join her in that goal. I would be thrilled to do that.
Once I was done with bells I was off to St Paul to get my eyebrows done for month. When I was leaving I was surprised to see a coworker standing there to get her brows done too. We just laughed because neither of us live to close to downtown St Paul.
After leaving St Paul I ran home to change and I was off to get Dan's kids to take them shopping to get Dan's Father's Day gift. We went to Hallmark to get a CD that Connor wanted to get him. I paid for it and now Connor will mow my lawn 4 times to work off the $20 bucks I spent on the gift. Then we were off to Gander Mountain to get a gift card from the girls. I spent $15 for Molli and Dani paid $20 so he will be able to get tackle to go fishing or stuff to use hunting. When the shopping was done I was hungry so we ran to the store and I got some sushi and the kids went and got samples from around the store.
On the way back Dani asked if we go to Payless or Famous Footwear to see if she could find some shoes she saw on some girl, I did not know where these stores were but we end going to Marshalls and DSW instead; with no luck.
Once all the shopping was done we went to my place and the kids did some yard work. Connor got his first lawn mowing done and then Molli weed whipped the yard until the string ran out. Dani sweep my front walk to make that look really good.
They even said that they would like to keep coming down to help out and make some cash. So I have 3 tasks they can choose from: mowing, weeding the gardens, weed whipping, and I will pay them each $5 for doing these tasks for me. They thought it was fair and I will help me out alot.
Tomorrow I am going to meet Tanya for breakfast. I have not seen her in ages and I am really looking forward to see her again.
