Tonight the family hit a few garage sales. They were mostly a bust, and only resulted in finding 3 new LeapPad books/cartridges for Leah ($2 each!) Here's the conversation she and I had on leaving the sale:
Me: I got you these LeapPad books.
Leah: I know. (already staring at them intently)
Me: Well, that's not a very nice thing to say! How about "thank you, Mommy!"
Leah: Thank you. (still staring at book)
We walk to the van. Just before we get there she says, "Only three?"
That's when I lost it a little bit. Aaron of course started laughing.
And then we went for a family bicycle ride, with me breaking in my birthday bike! It is a cruiser-type, and after our two-mile jaunt around our neighborhood, I'm not totally appalled at the thought of riding again. I am SUCH an optimist today.

Google Earth confirms the 2.0 mile circumnavigation as well as a 1.3 mile El Zagel circumnavigation for us.
I mainly wanted to see if my photo would show up by my comment...
Trying again to see myself....
Sounds like some kind of a philosphical query to me...maybe backpacking across Europe is in order? :)
I'll have to settle for 500 miles of driving across eastern Iowa and western Illinois this coming week, the first 350 miles with temps in the upper 90s. Maybe if I look into the rear view mirror I will be able to see myself truely...Given the heavy truck traffic on I-80 I won't want to gaze too long.
