Dang the beautiful Chicago weather. It's so beautiful out, but I'm just finishing my second 20 hr shift in three days, and I am waaaasted. Going home to sleep, please, oh powers of the universe, make me sleep! See y'all later...enjoy this day!

Clif lemonade is also good for the hangover blues.

That's a Golden Orb Spider, CC. That's pretty much life size.

Nanci - EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That is TERRIFYING.

So we just had lunch with the good Fishdr. It was GREAT. She's just wonderful - what I'd imagined. We wandered around the Ferry Plaza for a bit and chatted. We had V and Thom, Jo, Snap, Winddance, BikerZ and Melissam. I think that's the group. Anyway, it was fun. After a couple hours, the PP reached her limit and we left the group as they were headed to Pier 39.

I am bringing Fishdr to Marin to drive up Mt. Tam tomorrow morning. I'm hoping she doesn't mind taking the ferry back to the city because the traffic was inSANE. The bay bridge closure made traffic on the OTHER bridge that I had to use to get out of SF crazy. I have never seen it so bad. Getting out of the city is rough.

Resting up now. I gotta figure out something to do with these blisters from running. Only 11 miles today, but the big one's huge... hmmm...

beautiful day to be out in the lagoon! the sun came out and aaaahhhhhh! i'm recharged. kyak girl (me) saved the day from the eiders running away. not to mention pulling people in boats that were stuck in eel grass. CWR's boat service here to help.

we banded about 100 sea ducks, and a few choice ones got molested for avian flu.

hope everyone had as good of day as i did. i am now going to enjoy a glass of wine, if i can find one.

I wanna meet Fishdr, too. C'mon up to Seattle!

I acheived a pony tail today! (sort of) It took some hair clips and there are little neck hairs flying around loose, but I have a 1 3/4 inch ponytail! (yes, I measured it. I'm a nerd.)

That's a long way from 1 1/2 inch spikes all over my head.

And even though I still don't have that much hair yet, it felt mighty good to get it up off my neck. Hot today. Feeling the breeze now.

...
p....p....Ponytail? Ponytail equivalent to your spikes' length?

...I thought of you today when I henna'd my spikes, Knot. See, if you grow out your hair, and think a little about me and my spikes, and I keep my hair short and think about you and your ponytail, it'd almost be like I get to grow my hair out without freaking out and you can keep your spikes without looking like a bookend! It almost works!

...or am I just crazy?

CWR!
YAY! You saved the day! =D I'm gonna call you and harrass you again sometime, and call you Kayak Girl. =D
I SWEAR I'll send that cider... just... not outta this paycheck.

Kitsu - the hair thing is a great idea. (actually, I'd already been doing that... "waaaaah, I don't have spikes anymore! at least Kitsu still has 'em!") Gotta henna (White Mountain Mahogany) my silky locks tomorrow. Don't feel like it tonight.

My incredibly gorgeous, tomboy femme, bike riding, late 40's, knock-me-over-with-a-feather-yummy voiced, upstairs neighbor (sigh, I have a little crush, can you tell?) has a gf that I don't think is worthy of her.

Trek??? Trek, honey, come on up here! There's someone I want you to meet!

EDIT: Oops, thanks Kit! Yup, its LIGHT Mountain brand!

Went to dinner at a local brew pub (John Harvard's in Framingham) and they had Rail Trail Beer. Part of the proceeds go to sponsor the local Cochituate rail trail. So I had to drink a beer, even though I hardly ever drink beer and don't usually like it. This was a very dark beer and I even sort of liked it. Got down the whole glass eventually (in 1 1/2 hours). Guess I looked funny eating my bread with a fork, but I didn't get the bike grease off my hands well enough to eat with them. Replaced my headset today, discovered that my rear derailleur was loose on it's hanger (no wonder I've gotten a few involuntary shifts). Removed and cleaned the derailleur. The sealed bearing jockey wheels are really nice, I've had them about 8 years now. Soaked the chain in solvent, still need to relube it and make a final adjustment of the headset.

Changed the oil in my car today too. Finally found some synthetic 10W-30. Now if I could just get the roof leak fixed...

I thought it was Light Mtn? Eh, I have fox red. *shrugs innocently*

Thank goodness for good neighbors! That description reminds me- I've gotta call dpita to see how her day went before it gets too late...

Congrats on the ponytail, and good luck growing it out further... I've tried several times, but I always end up freaking out and having it trimmed boy-short again.

Someday, I say... someday.
