The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do

This week is my birth-week (tomorrow's the day).  Another year older, but that's ok.  It beats the alternative for sure!  I've decided to do 27 miles for turning 27 this week. Who's with me?! Starting tonight, I'm going to make 27 miles by Sunday.  Hopefully I'll finish by like...Friday, but you never know what the week might hold...

The weekend was good.  Friday, John and I actually got to ride our bikes around.  We looked for new running routes and then went to dinner at the little Italian place down the street.  Then we rode a little more before heading home for the night.  We caught up on the DVR and I decided that it would be a good idea to make smores in the oven.  Yum.  Not my best idea after a heavy Italian meal...we regretted that Saturday haha.  Saturday we celebrated my grandpa's 78th birthday and Sunday we celebrated my cousin's graduation from high school.  All in all a good weekend!  Oh yea, and got some fro-yo on...highlight!

Lily was super bratty this weekend, but ridiculously cute:

Last night, I started the rib cooking process.  I'm trying my hand at making beef short ribs in the slow cooker.  We will see how it turns out.  Here's the start:

Hopefully it will smell super yummy when I get home this afternoon!

The Bachelorette starts tonight!!!  I'm excited just because I get to enjoy my little guilty pleasure, but I'm not so sure about choosing Ashley...only time will tell.

Happy Monday!
