Episode V: Schwinning!
Today was a beautiful Sunday in Central Florida. Mild, sunny, and breezy. Seems like we have had an unusually long period of perfect weather this year (maybe two "cold days" even in winter).
We decided this would be a great day to finally cash in some Pottery Barn rewards certificates from our PB Credit Card toward lamps for our living room.

A quick word on finance, again. I hate credit cards. I hate interest. I think it is ridiculous that our society is set up in a way that you have to PAY money to show that you know how to manage your financials. So I am determined to build my credit without paying any fees or interest.
After publishing my last blog, my husband and I had a pretty long chat about the lifestyle we want to create and all the opportunities we'll have once we are in our new place. Now that we have a dedicated outdoor balcony coming our way in about 3 months, we realized that we can now get one of the coveted possessions of a Celebratee: Schwinn bicycles.
We decided on His & Her Clairmont Cruisers...oh, who am I kidding with links? I gotta show you these things!
So we loaded our new bike rack and attached lights for night riding and headed toward Celebration to christen their first ride on Celebration soil (I'm being dramatic here). We stopped for dinner at Pei Wei and ate with grins on our faces like teenagers. We could not wait to try our new bikes!
We rode around East Lawn, Aquila Loop, and took nature trails back to Front and Market Street for about 2 hours. We hit Starbucks to refuel--seeing some remaining tourists and exotic cars still milling about from the weekend's events.
Highlights of our ride:
- We saw about 6 deer on the front lawns of homes.
- Near Aquila Loop near the Conservation area, we saw fireflies!
- Seeing others admire our new bikes.
Household items we are pining for:
- a new crazy awesome showerhead
- outdoor furntiture
- barstools for our breakfast bar
