Good Intentions turned Better

So, this morning started out with my obligatory weekly load of laundry. Towels to be exact because I only have 8 towels and well, you do the math. I really, really, really wanted to go to a local farmer's market and buy up a flat of raspberries and make jam. That was what I had planned for this morning. Then, I was going to drop by the bike barn and pick up my bike which was getting a tune-up. For this afternoon, I planned to make a yummy salsa recipe tried and tested and tweaked by my sister yesterday.

While getting out of the shower, I remembered that I had told a friend last night that I was going to go to the temple this morning. See how one night of sleep can totally erase one's memory? Either that or how tempting food can be to lure me from my original celestial goals.

So, I got ready, did my hair, put on a pretty dress and headed off to the temple. On the way, I did pick up my bicycle and next door to that, there was an Osmond's (I'm sure related to THE Osmonds) Home Furniture store and a 50-70% sale going on. I found a chair with a very wide seat bottom (for us wide-bottomed gals) and black ladder back and so I squeezed it into the back of my jeep and propped it on top of my bike and off I went to the temple.

Then, my friends called and invited me to lunch so I met them at a cute little place on Main Street in Lehi called Porter's Place. I had a yummy french-dip sandwich. Then, we took a drive to their son's new place in Highland. Around 4:00 p.m. I finally made it home.

I didn't get the jam made, nor did I get to the salsa. There is always tomorrow for the salsa I suppose. I really did have good intentions for today. However, the better plan shaped my day!
