mellow yellow

Hi kids!

Because I had nothing better to do and was taking a break from my latest photoshop binge, I created a GOOD BOOKS page you may notice up at the top.  Enjoy!

So… this has been a summer of tackling new things so far.  First, there’s been golf. 

Oh, the suckage.  It’s amazing how bad I am at this game.  A few trips to the driving range and another nine holes later, and I’m not quite as embarrassingly horrible as I was, but that’s not saying much.

Luckily Brandon and my brother came with us over the weekend, and I was in great company.  I wouldn’t want to mention any names, but SOMEONE threw his club a few times.

(Ok, you twisted my arm.  It was Brandon). 

Also, this guy may also have shown small signs of frustration:

It was awful fun to have them along with us, though.  And once we finished the 9th hole, we shot golf balls into the pond for a while  (It’s far more fun doing that on purpose).

Because golf hasn’t quite offered my out-of-shape body enough punishment, however, I’ve begun bicycling.

Not just on any old bike, but on this sweet Craigslist find!

(I heart Craigslist, btw.  I found my awesome job and now this bike there.  And I’ve heard of people’s roommates putting up Craigslist ads and getting them a girlfriend that way).

Mellow yellow!  I am still in awe of its girly perfection — all without committing the cardinal sin of being pink.  (Blech.)

All in all, between a ride with Kevo up to Western’s campus and through downtown on Saturday and riding back and forth to work all week, I’ve put in almost 30 miles.  Hey, I know it’s not exactly the Tour-de-France, but it’s a start, right?  My legs are sore, to say nothing of my poor hiney, but other than that I feel fantastic.  Plus I feel uber-ecoconscious to have driven my car a bare minimum on a week when gas hit $4.49 a gallon.  (Other than that 24-hour trip down to Poulsbo for Justin’s mom’s wedding.  I’m pretty sure that doesn’t count).

From now on, you can all call me LiveStrong.

Snicker.
