Using my Bike to get to Work

June 9th, 2008 at 08:41 pm

Today is the first day I rode my bike to work. Boy was that a no brainer! It took me about 8 mins to get to work. It was snap. I parked my bike outside in the shade near the dumpster. Not a problem.
Plus I have a bike basket so I was able to take along my lunch hands free. I was so glad I could ride my bike. I really hope to ride everyday that I work. I enjoyed the freedom to be car-less. It really makes me feel free.

Nothing else too new. I am getting ready to pay some taxes.
I have spent some money on some clothing for the kids to go on vacation. Some PJ's, flip flops and two sundresses, also another bathing suit. It kinda stinks, but what can I do, they needed some clothes to go away with.

It has been so HOT. I have had to run the a/c. I am covering up windows and adjusting the mini blinds. That helps.

I am trying to make food stretch all week till the kids leave for their trip. I may run into a snag when my family comes into town and stays with me for the dance recital. I will have to feed them as well.
Next week will have to be really lean and not much a/c. I think I can cut back much more with out the kids here.

I got some money from my mom for my birthday. It goes to taxes and/or bills. Exciting. My girls bought me a very cheap set of pans for my birthday. I need some pans but these are not so nice. That is ok.....I am happy to have something to cook in for a short time. I thought about returning them but they get very offended when I return things. I did buy one top for me---but returned it. It was too large on me my dd thought. It was apple green and on sale. I am planning on going to the Good will or doing with out. I need one or two nicer tops for church or a party. I tried on a bathing suit and it looked terrible on me. So I will continue to wear my older one that suits me fine.

Have a nice evening.

    Good work, with the bike. I just looked at your earlier entry, where your kids thought it was weird. . . well, let 'em think that. Smile It saves you gas, and gets you some exercise. I have had reasonable luck at the Goodwill, as long as I shop regularly.

    Nothing good at Goodwill....mostly junk.
    I rarely find anything great at our Goodwill. Oh well...never hurts to look.
    I really...REALLY enjoyed the bike ride today. Looking forward to the next one!

    Kudos to you for riding your bike to work, especially in this heat.

    Good for you, I want a bike and am currently searching freecycle for one, that way I can ride to Publix rather than driving

    I'm going to have to relearn to ride mine, but I want to start biking around town instead of driving, too.
