hot weekend


wow. what an incredible, wonderfully hot, weekend! friday was awesome, because #1 - i kind of learned how to write a macro in excel using visual basic (yeh, i know, total geek, but SO cool) and #2 - i got a new bike!!! after learning the visual basic syntax (okay, mostly paola trying to explain it to me, haha), p and headed over to the hub on the westbank and tried a couple a more bikes. i was at the east bank hub a couple of weeks ago and couldn't decide between giant or orbea, but when i got on the XS giant avail frame, i knew i found my bike! we woke early on sat morning and took piru to the dogpark, then jumped on our bikes and headed over to Red Bull Flutag in st. paul. although it was incredibly packed and very hot, it was awesome and we even saw a world record take place. we biked back, hopped in the shower, and had dinner at my friend's place. today was filled with CLEANING. we not only cleaned the house, we cleaned the GARAGE! oh. hell. yes. feels. SO. good. we took a bunch of stuff to the goodwill and also cleaned the basement because a couple of p's friends are going to be living with us for the next month or so while in transition. i totally wanted to get another 35-40 miler bike ride in today, but i must admit, it feels awesome having a clean house and garage...now, only if those weeds would pick themselves ;) all and all, it was a great weekend in the twin cities.
