saturday

this morning after an hour of baby chirping, "bice-cul bice-cul" we took the bikes to the la river and took a five mile ride.  it was the first time i've gotten a real look at the la river.  it's pretty.  too bad there's so much litter in the way of plastic bags hanging on tree branches.  hopefully one day all stores will require you to use a reusable bag.

after our ride we went to lemonade for some takeaway lunch.  i had four different salads: watermelon radish, israeli couscous with mushrooms, red cabbage almond and brussels sprouts as well as a few nice strips of seared ahi.  the pastry case was beyond alluring.  i locked eyes with a tiny chocolate cupcake with the cutest dollop of mocha cream as its crown.  i just shook my head and said, "not today cheri." well not really, i just paid for my stuff in a hurry and scampered out of there, away from temptation.

husband and i are going to try to watch all the bond films.  tonight we're watching "Thunderball." it gets boring and action-y sometimes but then it goes back to connery rubbing some random lady with a mink mitten.  so that's good.
