Who are we?

I am laughing at myself these days.  Who are we that we’re veggie enthusiast, scooter riding, recycling, Libertarian crazy people?  To add to that list?  Cyclists!  Ry-guy and I got some sweet rides.  Mine’s one that an old friend of Ryan’s didn’t want to take with her when she moved.  Her loss, my super gain on a super sweet purple Canonndale!  Slapped some new tires on that sucker, got some cool blinky lights, tuned ‘er up and I’m on the road.  Ryan got his, a blue Dawes single speed, from Bikes Direct.  We’ve been doing short rides recently, but tonight we got out there and road approximately 15 miles in 2 hours…plenty of stops worked in there and plenty of silly meandering around the neighborhoods.  What was so encouraging was that when we got home, I wanted to keep going.  This from a girl who has zero athleticism and hates working out!  Granted, I got my heart rate up and my quads feel the juices are flowing, but it gave me a fun sort of high.  Tomorrow Ryan and I are going to bike to downtown Phoenix (20 miles round trip) for First Fridays, a monthly local art show.  Ryan’s also promised dinner at a place I haven’t been since college, the Paisley Violin.  Reviews to come for sure!

Also, I did it again.  Remember my post last year with the angel stocking?  I finished the most complex stocking yet!  A full nativity scene in felt!  Ha ha!  Anyway, I completed it last night and now am hard at work on yet another.
