It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time…

because life IS a highway, and i’m GONNA ride it, and i should really be riding it on a bicycle such as this.  this is a creation of republic bikes, which manufactures track bikes and you can customize your own based on the colors they have in stock.  and it’s AWESOME.  and i want one really really really really really really bad.  my bike (also awesome) is back in colorado, because i am a genius and brought my snowboard with me out here, but failed to bring my bicycle.  obviously, a snowboard will get much more use than a bicycle when you’re in charlotte.  obviously. 

thinking about that, that’s one of those moments where i’m not sure i’d be friends with me if i wasn’t stuck being me.  y’know?  like if i met me on the street, i’d be like “whoa bato, no dice.”  except i wouldn’t say bato because i wouldn’t know what it meant.  or maybe i would, who knows who i would be if i wasn’t stuck being me.  is that a dr. seuss book?  it should be.  whee!

okay, back to business.  fundraising to buy emily a bicycle has met resistence so far (jen said “yeah, okay” while laughing, so i don’t think she was really serious about lending me the 400 dollars i need to buy this bike), but i’m going to persevere and see if i can get enough of my friends and family to give me money until i can buy this bike.  or i could just save my own money, but who are we kiddin here?  this goes back to the last paragraph, and i really don’t want to get into the whole one fish two fish red fish blue fish speak again.  no time for that.

on a completely separate note, haze has an appointment on monday at the doggie doctor, and i’m excited because it means that my poor ole mangy dog will finally be 100% healthy again.  not that she’s in poor health (unless you want to send money, but be warned it will go toward bike funds, not haze funds), but she’s acting all ear-infectiony again and i know her paws are jacked up because she’s licking them compulsively again.  and she might have fleas.  jesus.  i really am glad i only have a dog though, because i don’t think i could handle having anything you can’t feed on the floor.  let me see if i can find a picture of haze dog.

well, i am a bad mom.  i only have two pictures of my dog on my computer, and they’re both incredibly small.  haze looks kinda like a hippo, but with pointed ears.  she is grey, but has a kinda copper tint in the sunlight.  all four of her paws are white, like socks, and her chest has a white spot too.  she has a little pink heart on her nose which i just adore.  when she pants, she smiles.  she is the very best dog in the entire world for me.  i absolutely must put a picture of her on here and then the world will understand.

another completely separate note, i’m going to see ben jones tonight and i’m excited cause i haven’t seen him since sunday and on sunday little kids were busy chicken wrestling on our shoulders, so yeah.  he got his hair cut, and i plan to comment on it within fifteen seconds of laying eyes on him.  i think he might’ve bought me frozen waffles, which makes me happier than it probably should.  yes.  :) :)
