I suppose it's time for another update, lazy ass that I am.
Though, I must say, I aim to be a little less lazy, now. I finally got around to buying a new bike, to replace the one that was stolen last year.
Here's the new ride:
Sharp, huh? I really like it.
I did buy a mother of a lock, too. It's a U-lock from Kryptonite called the New York Fahgettaboudit. This sucker must weigh five pounds. It's huge.
Whoever wants to saw through this bad boy had better have a good hour on their hands.
Of course, I'm giving them much less opportunity to do that. I've been bringing it inside at night. This isn't the easiest task, as my stairs are very narrow and there's a switchback. I've clocked myself in the head with the handlebars once (I've had the bike one week, now). And I know that the first time I come close to taking a header down the stairs will be the last time I bring it in.
Other activities... Last Sunday, I got talked into doing yoga. Outside. In 92-degree heat.
My new friend, Amanda, just got her certification to teach yoga, and I was among four people (including her boyfriend, who maybe shouldn't count) who made up her first class.
I was stiff and sore for three days, afterward. I'm that out of shape. Then again, yoga is a much more intense workout than you'd think from watching it.
I won't be able to make this Sunday's class, but I think I'll do it again.
Yesterday, I had an Epic Fail in the yogurt-making arena. (Yes, there's actually an arena.) I thought to try making yogurt out of something other than cow juice. I'm not a huge fan of soy milk, though, so I decided to try using almond milk.
I started it up yesterday before going to work and checked on it as soon as I got home. I'm not sure, but I think maybe I've gleaned a little into the formation of the solar system.
The solids in the almond milk had completely coagulated into somewhat spherical masses, suspended in all the liquid remainder. It was like five tiny, yeasty planetoids in jars.
Gross.
I've decided to take tomorrow and Monday as vacation days. Not for any real reason, other than that it's convenient. One of my bosses is on vacation today through Monday. Another one is in an all-day meeting tomorrow, and then vacation Monday. And the third... well, she rarely has anything for me to do. So I figured it was good timing for me to be out of the office, too.
Tomorrow, my Little Brother and I will go see the new Harry Potter flick. Saturday is the Shannon Curtis concert, as well as the grand opening of a second location of Temple Fine Coffee and Tea, here in Sacramento.
Somewhere in there, I still have a few pieces to read for my writing group, meeting on Tuesday night. And hell, maybe some writing, too!
