busy bees

R man and I have both become a bit workaholic.
We love the work.
When we aren't working, we are thinking, dreaming, talking, anticipating and planning to work.

It's kind of cool that we both dreamed of having jobs when we got back that challenged us, made us think and gave some feeling of personal pride and contentment in what we did.  We are there!

Now, it's making sure we get a chance to be and do all the non work things we'd grown to love not working 40 hours a week....really enjoying the time we have off when we have it together doing things we both love....(I say this as each of us are sitting at opposite sides of the house on our free day together typing away at our computers in silence!)

Taking bike rides
Going for walks
Cooking and grilling together
meeting up with friends for drinks and foods
having said friends over for the talking and the sharing of drinks and foods
attending local festivals and live music performances...Madison is known for there summer music festivals

On top of this, I try extra hard now to try and push myself out of the house after a long day at work to try and do normal people things and not just plop down and watch a movie with a beer in hand.

So this week, I'm making some goals!
I'm going to:

• Check out a book from the library and read it from cover to cover
• Photograph our awesome little garden for your enjoyment.  The little cucumbers and tomatoes are doing great!
• Catch up with an old friend or two
• cook some healthy nutritious meals and perhaps even put up a recipe or two with some photos here!
• Go visit the University Art Museum...it's free, it's new and I've never been!

So.  There it is.  Food.  Friends.  Good books.   Art. 
We'll see if I can do it!
