October Secret Sister Sign up and theme choosing.

[Tri Girl]

How can someone not like something you took the time and effort to pick out? It's not about the color or the gift, it's about sharing. It's the fact that someone was thinking of me that will make me love whatever I receive!!!!

I agree!!! Even if I don't like it, I'd still happily wear it because somebody picked it out for me- and they obviously found it to be beautiful. No matter color, pattern, or even fit- because a gift is a gift and I'm thankful someone thinks enough of me to spend their hard-earned money to buy it for me!!!
I love that we do this- it really reminds you of how wonderful people around the world are! Humans are pretty darn kind creatures (well, the vast majority of them anyway ).

OK, I've got this serious Blue thing going on with my bike. Blue bikes, blue shorts, shirts, gloves, helmet (actually, the current one is black, but only 'cause the LBS didn't have blue, and it's getting replaced ASAP), blue this, that and the other.

The first SS exchange, I got a pair of pink, sparkly Road Queen socks. I never, ever, even consider thinking of buying myself anything pink - or sparkly. So guess what? Those are my favorite socks. I feel my horizons (as opposed to my backside ) expanding every time I put them on. It's GREAT!

So don't worry too much. What's to dislike about Bike Stuff, anyway?

Oh, I will love whatever I get. If it is ungirly or especially if it happens to be black and/or reddish orange, I will have to keep it under lock and key to keep my husband from stealing it because we wear the same size socks, but I will love it anyway.

(My road bike is celeste, so a lot of things clash, but I wear them anyway. My mountain bike is boring silver so everything matches it. I am seriously considering sprucing it up with some pink flame decals I saw, just because it is so boring I can hardly stand to ride it.)
