*Mr. Ski and I got bikes for our anniversary gift to each other. Lucky for me, riding a bike after not riding a bike for eight years is as easy as... "riding a bike, you never forget." However, my bum did forget and has been reminding me to get a gel seat ever since!
*I find it totally strange when my drinks from restaurants come with a straw in them already. Ugh, how do I know if the person who dropped in my unwrapped straw had clean hands? Oh yeah, I don't.
*I am convinced that anytime someone writes "DO NOT BEND!" on an envelope that the postal workers see that as..."THIS IS DIFFICULT TO BEND, PLEASE TRY."
*Ok, I need to rant for a minute. I see lots of information about preventing teens from texting and driving. Well, while on my way to work recently I saw a very wreckless driver swerving repeatedly to stay in the lane. I hate being behind people like that so I sped up to pass...as I passed I looked into the car (What? I'm a very curious girl) and saw that it was in fact a texting driver except he was oh...no less than 65! For some reason it infuriated me. Anti-texting and driving campaigns should not just be directed to teens...it's about time that adults step up and quit texting while behind the wheel too and set a good example for pete's sake!
*I wish everyone looked as cute as bunnies do when eating.
*13 year cicadas have taken over Middle Tennessee. Not so much where I live but since I commute to the bigger city every day that they have taken over I have numerous cicada suicide markings on my car. It's like driving through a hail storm except the hail isn't hail, it's creepy, noisy cicadas. And let me tell you it is not easy to get those death remnants off...but I guess something that's been "alive" for 13 years wouldn't be able to clean off easily.
cicada suicide - more like kamikaze cicada. There numbers can be amazing.
ReplyDeleteI had to read the bunnies sentence twice. I thought you were telling us to eat bunnies.
Adult texting - as much as we wish some adults are no better than little spoiled kids when it comes to some things.
Have fun bike riding! That sounds like a pretty good gift for each other. Love that you came up with something you could both do together.
ReplyDeleteI hate when teens are singled out for things like texting and driving too--it's definitely a no-no for everyone!
Stopping by from FF.
I teach, one once a week I have driveway duty. I'm amazed at how many people: talk on the phone, text, or the worst in light of bad driving--don't have themselves of their kids buckled in.
ReplyDeleteAs for the straw thing, I never thought about it--but so much of that stuff is simply out of our control, unless we stay home!
I agree with you on the texting thing; no message is important enough to make an accident okay.
ReplyDeleteHooray for bike riding! (Your butt will get used to it :) I picked mine up from the bike shop (tune-up) today and rode 11 miles home. Finally, it feels like summer :)
I am on my 5th seat since getting a new bike 2 months ago. Seems my butt doesn't like any of them.
ReplyDeleteI read where there is an app that prevents a phone from texting when it's in motion. Mostly for parents to use on their kids phones.
