Tired...

Well, on a whim last week we decided to ride a bike tour down in Bloomington. Brian's grandpa called him up and told him about this tour and Brian convinced me to go with him Friday afternoon. So, we ended up riding 93 miles through massive hills (it's called the Hilly Hundred). Needless to say, we are now exhausted and taking a break from biking. We went about ten miles more than I could handle and my right knee has now been bandaged and iced on and off for the past 20 hours. But we had a lot of fun. We rode our tandem and waited up for Grandpa at the rest stops every 12 miles or so.Here I am on the first day. It was stinking cold! Then the next day, I wore Brian's tights and my long-sleeved jersey and I almost got hot!

A new development: Olivia may be smarter than we gave her credit for. For the past week or so, we've noticed that she has been sticking her paws under her combined food and water dish and pulling it around. We couldn't figure out why she was doing it, but no matter where we set the dish, she moves it around. Well, we were watching her this morning and noticed that she pulled the dish until the water sloshed over onto the food side and got her dry food all wet. She then proceeded to eat the wet food. She likes her food wet! And she figured out how to get it that way by herself! What a crazy crazy cat...
