I like to think I ride my bike for several reasons: earth, health, enjoyment.
However, as admirable as those reasons are, sometimes they're not enough to convince me to roll out of bed just a little bit earlier so that I can ride rather than drive.
This week however, Chris' car has been slightly out of commission, so he's been using my car and I've been biking in.
After work today I rode over to Grandma's house to take care of the vacuuming.
"Oh Alison! You rode all the way here!" (shock and dismay in her voice)
"Yes Grandma, I did."
"Do you want to put the bike in my Jeep so you don't have to ride home?"
...I just can't seem to convince her that I
choose to ride, and I could just as easily have taken the car if I didn't want to have to ride home. *sigh* Maybe someday she'll understand. For now, she just thinks I'm crazy.
On my way home I headed to the library. A week or so ago I was there picking up some books on soap making (yes, I'm a hippie-wanna-be...) and travel. As I was looking at the online catalog I saw that Twilight was in on the Express Shelf. What a nice idea! The Express Shelf has a shorter check-out time, so instead of getting it several weeks, you only have like a week to borrow it. Those books are always on such long hold lists, so I was excited that it was actually in.
Needless to say I sped through that one, put the next book on hold, got it within a few days, sped through it, put the next one on hold and today Eclipse came in at the library! So I picked it up.
I know. My life is pretty exciting. But you probably don't have much more of an exciting life if you're sitting here reading this. ;)
PS -
Apple Cider Century this weekend!
