Summer Plans

This lovely weather has me looking forward to lounging on the beach and listening to side b of COWBOY SONGS/SURFER ROCK INSTRUMENTALS.

I want to ride my bicycle

I'm in the process of becoming a fair weather bicycle commuter. I'm starting off riding to work every other day with the hopes of upping it to everyday and cutting out public transit altogether (at least for the summer). I bought a used Raleigh Olympian, which seems great.

Today, I had my first riding in the rain and almost getting hit by a car door experience. Surprisingly, I still enjoyed the ride home, which is promising. Also, all of this bicycle riding reminded me of one of my favorite Queen songs.

New Couch

We finally received our new couch and we love it!

Easter Basket

The Easter bunny brought us a practical basket this year.

Stachlique

Ever since our new couch arrived, I've been on a serious redecorating kick. Yesterday, I made these mustache appliques for the living room.

Arizona

I went to Arizona for the first time last week. I liked Tucson the best. I especially enjoyed all of the brightly painted houses.

New Camera

I used my tax return to buy a new digital camera. It's a huge step up in quality from my old point and shoot. I took a trip to the Conservatory today to try it out.
