No Dogs Allowed on Beach

I have been alarmingly uninteresting lately. I am so focused on my "vacation" back home that all I can do is make lists and deliciously simple food, go to work, and read away all my free time. I suppose there are worse things I could be doing..

So, anyway, here I am, just hours away from neverending naps, breathtaking bikerides, and stolen smooches with my beloved.. alliteration is probably the easiest and most underused literary technique, plus it makes this description even more mind-numbingly sappy.


On to less nauseating things, once at home, I plan to take the advantage of having a car and THREE weekends off to continue to improve myself. Item number one on the list: purchase a bike. Sure, I have an old mountain bike at home, but it is missing a few important parts (i.e. rear breaks) and it is not very "road friendly." So, my first full day in the 'nosh (I hate that abbrev. so why did I type it?) will be spent garage sale/flea market hopping with my parents to find a sweet new ride.

The bike, besides being an easy and obvious mode of transportation, will be a chance for me to explore new territory, as well as a fun means of exercise! The freedom a bike would provide is immeasurable, and I cannot wait (!) to begin my search.
