about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

a bit of a tiger permalink

Oh, man, it's gotten cold here.

Yesterday, I had a ton of energy to burn off. Over lunch, a cow-orker and I went to the grocery and bought three bags of groceries for the Oregon Food Bank. I was so happy I practically danced the rest of the afternoon. And, for the first time in recorded history, my floor has brought in the most food. Incredible.

After laying in bed not able to sleep last night, I decided that I need to get more exercise. Didn't I decide that previously, recently? Oh, yeah, I did. So this morning in a show of, what, I'm not entirely sure of, I was out early, pumping up the tires on the bike, installing a new light (which tried to commit suicide, thank you very much, on 15th Street), and adding the tire sparx onto my tire valves.

Once everything was done and said, I turned on the battery-opped xmas lights on my bike basket and headed in. And damn, it was cold.
