The Three Minute Meditation!

I pick up my ipod, put my headphones, turn on a song, and crank up the volume!

Who needs quiet when you can have lyrics!

All These Things that I've Done

Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous and a ride was definitely in order. I decided to head from the house, over the bridge, and through the Marin Headlands. 30 miles of sun, nature, birds chirping, waves breaking, and fellow cyclists out on the same mission as me: to enjoy the weather the best we cyclists know how, on a bike! I climbed a lot, keeping Hernando's, Sabine's, and Dave's climbing tips on my mind, descended a few times enjoying the breeze, and took some pictures. It was a great ride!

Looking down onto the beaches!

After I finished the first big climb...and still smiling!

The top of the steepest mile of life!

Yeah, I climbed that!

On the way back to the City

Same old story, not much to say!

I brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick up a book and turn the sheets down and then
Take a deep breath and a good look around!

It's Valentine's Day...

It's Always Darkest Just Before Dawn

I just woke up so I can work out this morning on my bike. Just a quick ride down to the beach, through the park, and up 7th avenue back to the house. And then it's shower time and I'm off to Berkeley for work at 10. And then class from 12-3. I am going to go upstairs to grab something before I leave and I know Callie is going to bark at me because she's a good guard dog! Then she'll realize it's me and go back to being a puppy! She is so adorable!

He left no time to regret!

I accomplished everything on my list today! Yay! I danced, i rode, i worked, i studied, i rode again, i danced, i changed, i worked out, i came back!
The weather was great most of the day! As I was coming back into the City the weather was still great. I went to get on my bike and take a ride, and thank god I put on some arm warmers and a vest because as I made my way down to the beach the fog was rolling in!!! Nonetheless I had a great work out, rocking Amy Winehouse all the way up 7th ave and to the house! It has been a good day!

Todays's Plan

1. Shower
2. Have a dance party with Callie while finding clothes and getting ready
3. Ride my wonderful motorcycle across the bridge (not the bridge below)
4. Grab an americano at strada (very important)
5. Work (probably do some blogging at the same time)
6. Class - an hour of middle english
7. Ride my wonderful motorcycle back across the bridge
8. Drop my stuff, change my clothes, dance party, grab my bike, go for a ride
9. Shower, change clothes, dance party
10. From here on out the plan is up to the fates of the evening! I love this City!

Popscene

Thursday night was going to be a pretty low-key, laid back evening, but low and behold it was not. I talked to a friend, Scott, who was thinking about going to a club downtown to hear a Sweedish pop sensation, Robyn. And on the spur of the moment I decided to join him. I had so much fun. Dancing, drinking beer, listening to loud music. It was great! I am so glad that I decided to go.

Now the weather is absolutely gorgeous, it's Saturday, and I am going for a ride. I hope wherever you are the sun is out and shining.

Goals for the weekend:

1. clean my room
2. do laundry
3. ride my bike
4. do some reading
5. enjoy the weather
