    If nothing else, today's sun did melt off quite a bit of ice. Still plenty of snow loitering on my front lawn, however. I'm going to hope that tomorrow does not bring too much snow. I will hope that we get rain in the afternoon. And then, perhaps, by Wednesday I can finally get out there and ride a bicycle outdoors for a change.

    Perhaps this one:

    This is the new Nishiki mixte.

    Anyone want a purple water bottle holder?

    The bike is new to me! It's actually from the early 1980's, although I haven't quite figured out what year specifically.

    The frame style is a mixte. Although commonly referred to as a 'woman's' frame, it is actually a unisex frame, and many men ride and enjoy this style of frame, especially in Europe.

    I now have three mixtes--a 1980 Centurion LeMans, a 1980's? Peugeot, and this Nishiki. I love mixtes.

    And now it's snowing AGAIN and the kids have a snow day from school AGAIN.

    Am I ever gonna get to ride my bikes?

    Oooh, I hope my work closes for today, because this snow on top of the polished and re-frozen ice fromthe last few days is gonna be awful on the roads.

    Thumbs down

    Ok, enough already! This is my sixth day off from work (I am a Library Media Asst and Building Tech at a local Middle School). I had one day off because of flooding, two days off because of power outage, and now three days off because of "snow" . . . I do not want to work into July. Although I've heard rumors about not having to make up the flood and power outage days. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for this!

    I want to ride my bikes!!!! Argh!

    +1 to all that! I'm getting stir-crazy. Am a school psych and not looking forward to making up all these days--I think we've had five days total, one from the windstorm and four snow days. I'm DONE with this snow stuff. And frankly had been looking forward to going to work today so I wouldn't have to listen to all the construction noise again. Bleah. Took a walk in the snow this morning, but the ice underneath makes it a little precarious. I'm DONE, I say.
