    I'm back from my ride!! And I see you've left out my favorite topic, next to my pets- wine! I packed a bottle of low-alcohol Moscato d'Asti to enjoy while camping out pre-ride Friday night, but forgot my wine glass! The only possible solution was either my Polar bottle (would be like drinking wine out of a baby bottle!) or Dillbird's water-carrying bottle for in the car, which is a urine specimen cup...Which is what I chose! The wine was strangely urine colored, but luckily my new friends at the campsite didn't seem to be disgusted by it...

    I think any white wine could pass for urine-coloured in that vessel...

    I painted my toenails Shanghai Shimmer today, after skiing all morning/early afternoon and then going for a short mountain bike ride (OK, really short, as in to the park 8 blocks away and back).

    Oh no! Not that one! The one on the contour with my house!



    (Man, I love Google Earth!)

    My legs were too shot for the OTHER park and I was riding about with a couple of acquaintances, one of which got a brand new bike yesterday. So it was more of a "test drive" for her.

    I bought sexy new biking gloves today. Purple and gray. Two of my favorite colors.

    I also bought a computer for the Dew. And ordered a Crank Bros Speed Lever.

    Dew needs a name. I had a plastic Stitch on the handlebar (from Disney's Lilo and Stitch) but it fell off. Since it's a Kona, and is the color of Stitch, I'm thinkin' something along those lines. I've never been to Hawaii, but I grew up just outside Ferndale WA, where KonaBikes is based.

    Got my nose ring to behave again. I'm sure y'all were waiting with bated breath to see how that turned out...

    What a relief!

    They used to play Lilo & Stitch incessantly at the public health clinic where I work. So I'm hearing Elvis songs + demented dialog all day, over and over. I finally rented the thing to see what was going on! Cute movie.

    KnottedYet "it's a Kona....I grew up just outside Ferndale WA, where KonaBikes is based."

    I suppose Mossbikes would not have the same ring to it But wait, that's our weather here in CA.

    "Got my nose ring to behave again."

    It's a shame when good nose rings go bad. I wanted a tat' but was afraid I couldn't get it to stay put.

    OK, how are biking gloves sexy? Do they have a sheer back?

    BTW, I love Stitch. He was sooooo evil, before he turned good.

    OMG I love that wine - it has the bottle with the little bug drinking out of a straw. That is a happy wine. I shall have to have some.

    They're all happy wines until you wake up dehydrated.
