An {Al A Mode} Virtual Coffee

Happy Sunny Tuesday all!

I apologize for my tardiness, but we couldn’t resist taking full advantage of today’s weather.

Standing outside the bar watching the Hawkeye game and eating ice cream. Now that’s Iowa City.

If we were really meeting for coffee I’d offer you a taste of Whitey’s ice cream {a family favorite}. It’s our first dips of the season and we loved it. Even G, once he recovered from the initial brain freeze.

Oh, and before we go any further I’m sure you are all waiting with bated breath to see what I did with the hair. Well…popular vote won. I kept it longish.

She did have to cut some off in order to even it up. Otherwise it would have looked like a mullet and I can’t have any part of that. So…a trim up, a boost to the red and some springy blue toes makes me a happy little camper.

Since Saturday’s beautification project took the whole day, we really didn’t do much during the weekend. I did make this FABULOUS raspberry banana bread. Which I loved, but everyone else thought it was a little tart. I think it would have been better with fresh raspberries instead of frozen. There’s always next time.

So, how was your weekend? Did you enjoy the warm weather?

I’m a tad nervous about this warm weather as I’ve already seen four mosquitoes and a bug of some sort practically beaned me in the head this morning at the gym. It could be an ugly, buggy summer. Ewwww….

Well, I’m off to read the Hunger Games before B2 gets back from the Hawkeye Basketball game. I think I’m the only person on the planet who hasn’t read it yet. Have you read it? Are you planning to see the movie? My mom {who read the book in a day} is so excited for the movie, she has a whole girl’s night planned. I can’t wait.

Don’t forget to head over to Amy’s and partake in more caffeinated conversation.

Have a great week and get out and enjoy the weather, and the extra hour of daylight.
