The Weather!

I have a tiny obsession with checking the weather...
The Weather

A typical summer day schedule

7:00 :: wake up - if its going to be super hot then wake up earlier
7:30 :: GO RUNNING, lift weights, get buff and super fast :)
9:00 :: eat breakfast
9:30 :: most likely wasting a solid hour on the computer or watching t.v., on a rare occassion may be working/volunteering/doing something constructive :)
11:00:: hang out with Manda Mae


2:00 :: ...still wasting time with Manda Mae


6:00 :: I would love to say otherwise, but I am still doing nothing with Manda Mae

11:00 PM :: possibly go to sleep after my busy busy day hehe

Recipes

Hey Mr. B!

So for our final we had to make a website and I chose summer for the theme...because summer is less than 3 days away and I can't really think about anything else. Hope you're having fun in Nebraska... :)
