New Bike!! (Finally)


The day has finally arrived...I bought a new bike!! After talking about it for months and going to bike shops and getting fitted and doing research and reading reviews...I have finally committed and purchased a bicycle. Oh happy day!! And I LOVE it. It has pink on it, its so stinking light...its amazing basically. Thanks to a little help from my mom, I was able to go get it this past weekend. I went and picked it up and Saturday and then spent the rest of the day just staring at it. Hahahahaha. Its almost too hot to ride, but that did not stop me. I am really looking forward to the weather cooling off in the next couple of months so I can do as much riding as I can instead of driving. At this point, 105 degrees is a little rough to ride in. Not even that I mind riding in the heat as much as I mind showing up dripping in sweat to wherever my destination might be.

I am now going to go get a helmet this week - safety first and all. Then I will be good to go and ready to ride. We already have a ride planned for this weekend and I am super excited. I love to have something to do to get out of the house on my days off and be outside. Still waiting for Milo to be old enough to go to the dog park, so until then, bike rides will take precedence.

Besides the bike purchase, I did absolutely nothing all weekend. It was an extremely lazy weekend and I loved it. Its too hot to want to go outside. The pool at my apartment isn't even really refreshing because its lukewarm like bath water. I did some studying and cleaned my apartment, but that was all the energy I could muster to do anything besides lay on the couch or sleep. Sometimes you just need to veg out. I had a long week - lots of work and overtime and lots of family drama with Keaton...blah. I needed a weekend of nothingness for sure.
