day 1: the move to wordpress

I’ve had a blog since August of ‘05. Things went stagnant and now I’ve decided to wipe my slate clean and take on a whole new persona over here at WordPress. Hopefully this can remain completely private from friends and family. Everyone needs a little escape from time to time. Honestly, I lost interest in blogging after word spread that I was writing. Spread like wildfire. It was time to go. Maybe I can remain true to myself this time.

On to more important matters. I just spent half of my two-weeks pay check on a brand new bike. It’s a Marin Muirwood and it’s gorgeous. I’ve never really made a “large” purchase like that before. It wasn’t necessarily a smart purchase either since now I have $20 to my name for the next two weeks. 

I’ve befriended someone who has one of everything. This summer he’s bought a bike that actually folds in half. I can’t wait to kick his ass on the road this Wednesday. I hike with hiim occasionally. I would also like to get a canoe sometime soon. Now that he’s a locum tenant a girlfriend and I get to use his pool at will while he’s gone. It’s out in the country next to the river and very peaceful.

I want to make it a goal in my life to live more fully. I want to ride my bike consistantly, get a canoe, hike more, camp more, spend more time with friends, drink more wine, take more pictures, dance more often, have more conversations with my husband, spend more time with him as well, get better at rock climbing, get my dogs outdoors more often, and learn to laugh more.
