7/4 *2010* - LGRaB Summer Games - 4th entry (totally!) - decorate yo' bike

well,

*hey hey*

ya'll!

*

hope your *fourth* was fab!

mine was.

i got a little post HERE today to show you some fun snaps i got:

*

these were the cupcakes my sister did a great job on.
they tasted yum.

now...
about
the LGRaB Summer Games:
[I'm part of them.]
*
i successfully completed Part I of them by
saying 'hi' to a cyclist
[via this post]
&
going on a group ride with family & friends
[via this post]
*
*
*
Part II proved more challenging being that I subbed
5 days a week in June &
had a 4-night a week June class whose workload murdered me
[i don't know how i managed an A+]
*
i pulled through *last minute* by
purchasing and reading a book about cycling
[via this post]
however...
...i missed the end of Part II deadline
for the Part II prizes,
&
posted a completed second challenge of
test riding a different type of bike than you normally ride
[via this post]
for Part II *late*
*
problem:
i was unsatisfied with the content of this post since
the bike i test-rode was not an actual bike,
but
a totally awesome & uber-enjoyable moped.
[did i lose anyone yet?]
*
sooooooooo...
to make up for that unsatisfying second entry
for Part II of the LGRaB Summer Games,
I have posted HERE
a second second entry that in fact DOES
qualify as fair-game content for the Games.
[can you tell my type-A personality gets me a little crazy?]
*
Is it a week late?
yes.
...but, does is appropriately apply?
oh, yeah.
*
i decorated my bike:
in *4th-o-July* patriotic garland
...and *R*W*&*B*balloons*:::
how fun, right?

the ribbon, from afar,
looked like it had white stars on it,

but,

in fact,

it was snowflakes...

*

...all good.

**

i had my sister take

some pics:

while i was waiting for

*the boyf*

to get a move on,

i rode around my neighborhood for about ten minutes,

*4th-o-July*

spirit

floatin' behind my bike

and all:

here's a quick clip, thanks to Bitt:

it may be a late entry, but it was a worthwhile activity

*

*decorating my bike proved delightful*

[...and now I can fully dive into Part III of the Games, and explore some new territory.]

Hee hee hee har har har!

***

***

after my lovely, relaxin' *fourth* morn,

we headed to the boyf's place, where his mom filled our

early-afternoon bellies with chicken adobo & white rice & superlyduperlysweet mangos

***

then, we layed down...

...at 1:31 pm...

...and passed the f**k out.

***

***

only to wake up three-hours later,

& head off to our friends' BBQ.

***

***

awesomeness x 10.

Happy Monday.

LGRaB Summer Games -4th entry (maybe) - test ride a different type of *bike* than you normally ride

it was not my birthday this past weekend,

but it might as well have been.

**

one of the bulleted challenges

in Part II

of the

LGRaB Summer Games

was:

*test ride a different type of bike then you normally ride*

well, the bike i test drove on Monday wasn't exactly one of the types of bikes i think Dottie & Trisha had in mind...

oh, yes, dearie pies,

momma rode a moped!!
i swear, i couldn't have been happier about it!
**
$20/hour each!
**
[we rented last year for the first time
on this same first week of July...it was the
mini-vacay excursion that got me hooked]
the boyf

took the lead,

and

caught me in the side-view.

**

pulled over in a parking lot

to show off muh skillz

*what what*

he's too cool to show excitement,
or,
he was mad serious about that
rain cloud approaching us in the distance
notice how dry the dash is here:
...and
then
how
*not*
dry
it
is
HERE: **
first,
there was
drizzle: we took cover under a gas station,
and
filled-up while we were there.
[btw...fill-up = $1.50] then came the *big guns*we called 'the guy' and told him we were stranded, waiting for the hurricane to pass:listen to *the boyf* here,
and watch him do the telephone pee-pee dance:

thunder, lightning...the works!
**
then...
suddenly...
clear skies,
rainbow.
funny how that works.
*yay*yay*yay*

**

so...i don't know if this post counts towards Part II of the LGRaB Summer Games [if it does, it's late by a couple of days anyway...whoops!!]...

...but, it was great.

The whole thing. Great.

Happy Wednesday.

*YES MAN*

i watched

*Yes Man*

this weekend

and...

...Zooey Deschanel's character Allison is the *coooolest*!

I mean, c'mon!

She's got a *moped*,

a navy jacket with a red trim,

she wakes up at 6 a.m.,

TO TAKE PHOTOS while jogging,

she's lead singer in an all-girl band

named Munchausen By Proxy,

who, by the way, dresses up with each song!

Haa haa!

Love it, love it! Can't get enough of it!

Did I mention she rides a *moped*?

;)

for an internal

pick-me-up,

i recommend the movie.

tee hee hee.

Happy Monday, lovelies.

Moped Barbie??!!

While taking my *cousin Claudia* to Toys'R'Us to use up her fun $50 gift card, I found THIS down the Barbie isle:

THIS *b!#$h* got a moped, and I don't??

HELLLLL NAW!

(it even comes in blue)

see...*told* ya.

sooo...found this here.
*hummida hummida*

{drool drool drool}

i wanna walk out of a cool, Italian alleyway art store & find my most maRvelous *moped* parked on some eclectic street like this *one day*...

...i hope i *dream this scene* tonight <3...

oh, you'll *find out*...you'll *know*...

...*find out* and *know* WHAT, you say??

Why, only my heart-stopping affection with mopeds since riding my first one in Ocean City, Maryland *July 1st* of this year!
We rented the lovely two-wheelers for an afternoon, and after those
*14-&-a-half* seconds of getting the hang of how to ride it, it was *game over*.
Done.
Madly in LoVe.
Open wide countrysides, here I come...*one day*...haa haa...

...oh, welcome to my BLOG, by the way. <3
