i started

to post something but it got super long and ranty, so i decided to post something else. i'm super excited because i get paid today and so this week, probably friday (the first time i have free time) i'm going to buy a bike! i've been thinking a lot about two things: how i can increase my physical activity in my daily life and how annoyed i get that i drive around state college to go places. i mean, honestly, it's like 8 miles from where i live to where my parents live. why do i need to drive there? and it's just around the corner to the store so why am i driving there? now according to my job description i have to drive to work. i have to be able to leave at any time and head to the courthouse or the hospital to meet with clients, but any other time, why do i need my car? so i've deicided to buy a bike. my hope is that i can either convince my boss that i don't need my car every day and then i can bike to work some days, or at the very least use the bike if i'm going anywhere in the evening or on a weekend. it will help me get more exercize and it is good for the environment. i mean, i'm sure i'm not a huge expender of greenhouse gasses and my commitment to the bike isn't going to make a huge impact, but it all ads up, right? i'm not sure what i'll get...the bike shop i want to go to sells giant and specialized and maybe trek, so something in one of those families :O) hope you're all having great weeks!
