hung over?
I am not, I don't think, because I have not had anything since Saturday night and here it is, Monday evening. So it's not possible for me to be hung over, is it? I'm just asking because I had A LOT of very red wine this weekend and currently I feel like bunk. Complete and utter bunk.Anyway, so Saturday I went into work (did I tell you that?). I have a whole incredible amount of stuff to do, and there is no way that it'll all get even close to done if I only work 40-45 hours a week. Which is crap because they so don't pay me enough to work extra, which is why typically I don't, but then the Catholic up bringing in my kicks in (I wasn't in it too terribly long, but the residual guilt still have a firm grip) and I feel bad for the poor people who I am supposed to be helping. After all, it's not their fault that people keep quitting, but tptb don't hire any additional workers...
After I was done being there I came home to a nice easy dinner of chicken. Not chicken with something, just chicken. I so had no interest or energy to balance. I was pretty proud I didn't just eat popcorn.
My neighbors came over sometime just before I thought it would be reasonable to put my pjs on. They were having people over, other neighbors, so I decided I should be friendly and hang out. Plus, they had bought some red wine just for me so really, how could I say no?
I don't know what time I got home. I'm not sure it matters. All that really matters is that I had a second night of red wine indulgence. I felt good the next day, just exhausted. At least the dogs let me sleep in until 9.
I was supposed to have a day of shopping with Liz, but around 11 or so she called. Apparently she and Todd discovered they needed some something and wanted to head to Ikea or Target or something. Instead of going there I decided to bug Arleigh at the bike store and actually learn about that which I will be purchasing. I now know what a top, down, head, and seat tube are as well as what a crank is. Needless to say I am very proud.
I still don't know what color I want. I do know what colors I don't want. No black, gray, navy, forest green or deep red. Way too boring. I think I would really, really like a safety green color, or orange, but apparently the more fun the color, the way more expensive the bike. I'll probably wind up with pink. It's a very girly color and I am a very girly girl so that works.
I think I am going to get silver shoes but we'll have to see how they feel. I have wide feet and messed up toes so comfort and fit are primary (and man does that make me sound old).
The shoe color will influence the color of the helmet.
I know what you're thinking, so not what you're "supposed" to care about when buying a bike but whatever. I couldn't care less at this point about the material or weight or any other such stuff. I don't ride yet. This is my first bike. I just want it to be pretty.

Wow... if you get a fun, cute bike I'm going to be very jealous. Cause I'm riding this granny-esque bike! And you're going to have a cute pink bike, and matching helmet and shoes and it's all going to be fabulous.
Next time you go to the shop you can learn abour rear and front derailers (its VERY exciting let me tell you!)
