If I had the whole week, I&#8217;d say it would be my best week ever. I think I could definitely top $1000. As it stands, after 2 days, I have bought $618.92 of groceries for -$9.89. Suave shampoo \/ conditioner has been my best deal I think. It&#8217;s 99 cents (regular price &#8211; though I did have one raincheck for 79 cents), and I have coupons for $1\/1. It&#8217;s doubling it too, so for every shampoo I buy for 99 cents, it takes $2 off my order. Not bad! Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m going to be able to use all my Suave coupons before we have to leave.<\/li>\n<li>I did a nice bike ride this evening. I have split the original 10 Madeira routes of 6 or so miles into 5 routes of 8-10 miles each. I did one today of 8.32 miles. I wanted to get in a ride tonight since if I didn&#8217;t, I might not ride at all this week. It was good, though tiring. Very humid this evening.  I also got to check out a street I thought I might have missed in my earlier trip &#8211; Paisley Lane.  I didn&#8217;t notice it when I did this part of Madeira last week, and it was only when I got back home and looked at the map that I saw it.  As I rode by it tonight, I rode on it, but I&#8217;m definitely going to have to appeal to the powers that be if it&#8217;s really a road.  And the answer is&#8230; no.  It was more like a private drive, which I am not counting.  To answer Kerry&#8217;s question from before about riding on the streets vs. riding on the sidewalks, I ride on the street everywhere. It&#8217;s the way you should do it (and safer). Plus, it&#8217;s not like this is ride on every <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">sidewalk<\/span> of Madeira!!! The good news is that most (well, maybe not most, but a good number) of the major roads around here have bike lanes. Well, they&#8217;re not exactly bike lanes (with a nice white chalk bike dude) but there&#8217;s a good space between the line at the side of the road and the curb. So it&#8217;s pretty easy to pass me, except when there aren&#8217;t these spaces or I have to move into the road (i.e. if I have to turn left)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought I&#8217;d do a bit of a mid-week post, to update the masses on various things that are going on: Things are coming along nicely for our trip out to Washington.
