Little Baby Blue

Somewhere along the way there wasn't a post when I acquired my pretty blue toy back in March. My Little Baby Blue is a 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R. I'm loving it. Since the picture was taken, we've had it lowered 2" to give me flat foot versus the balls of my toes.

What an Adventure!!

I'm a little late in posting this, but thought I'd share anyway. Most people I'm close to know that I was in Hawaii the last week in May. We were on Oahu the whole time, and let me just say that it was breathtakingly gorgeous. I loved it. The views, the clean air, the cheap sushi!!



So, anybody who knows me pretty much knows that I have an aversion to being submerged in water. As it turns out, clear blue-green ocean isn't as horrifying to me on a rare trip to Hawaii as one would've originally thought. Though the first wave was a bit chilly!! The novelty here is me being in the water at all. :-P

A Post I Made on Another Blog

I have edited it some here due to the change in posting location:
I just found a blog that I posted a comment on and it has provoked me. The topic was, Are you what you read? I have been an avid reader all my life. I was born into a home full of books and have maintained that myself. In recent years I've added audiobooks and ebooks to the ranks, but still I read. Last year I read 146 books (according to my tracker on www.shelfari.com). That's an average of 1 book every 2.5 days. This year I don't know that I'll get the opportunity to read that many. I do know that I'm going to work toward better multitasking. I plan to move more of my reading to the cardio machines. Maybe I can take the audiobooks on my Zune to the weight machines with me. Workouts are such a solitary thing, much like reading. And I tend to always find reasons not to do the workouts and end up laying around reading instead. Why not combine them?

Snow Comes to Georgia

This is my driveway this morning. I suspect I'm not going far today. =P

The Avian Theme Continues

Theoretically it may even be a Turkey Theme. I don't know if I've ever mentioned the turkey vultures that live in our subdivision. There's a flock of about 60-70 of them that roost in the tall trees. These pictures were taken around the corner from the house. Sometimes they're in the trees in our yard. This just happened to be a really clear day with a really good vantage point from which to get some good shots of these things. They're HUGE if you've never seen one up close. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey_Vulture

I Can't Believe I Forgot This

We'll blame my crazed job situation at the time and leave it at that.

Here's what becomes of Bananas Gone Bad (http://uponmeetingalice.blogspot.com/2009/10/bananas-gone-bad.html) after a year goes by.

I don't have to be reminded too often what a horrible awful person I am. :P
