Abby and I rode our bikes today (as in bicycles, not motorcycles- sorry to disappoint). I have not ridden a bike in literally years. I was actually a little nervous starting out (will I make the corners, or will I over-correct, sending myself scraping across the pavement??). We rode bikes with the neighbors all the time when we were young. On my old bike, I could ride with no hands almost all the way down the alley, making slight steering corrections by leaning my body. I have heard of people riding down the street with their feet on the handlebars, but I was not a brave enough child for that. And I am not a brave enough [what am I? teenager? young adult? woman? Good heavens. I have no identity.] Anyway, I'm afraid I am not a brave soul when it comes to being risky near asphalt. I have eaten it a few too many times for that, thank you. I like to keep my skin on my body until it naturally falls off as dust. Wakeboarding is better- softer landing.
Moving on, I think I will start riding my bike home from work. The ride won't be that bad, and it will get me some much-needed exercise. I don't like running anyway, and this heat is no encourager. Biking is much easier on the body, plus the wind rushes by to dry the sweat- I mean, glistening. =) However, I definitely need a couple days off. I'll probably be so sore tomorrow that I will be unable to walk, plus it will be awhile before I can sit down again. Besides, I play volleyball on Monday nights, and I think I'm going to go to some dance thing with my friend on Tuesday night. So I will have plenty of time to not be sore by Wednesday.
On a different note, my hair is once again purple. It is a hideous shade at the present moment, but hopefully it will have faded into its appropriate color by the time Lassen rolls around. Abby dyed it, this being her first experience. She missed a little around my front roots, but I suppose I can live with that. She didn't do too bad for a first-timer. I just hope this purple goes away soon.
Two more weeks of work. =) One more paycheck, plus tips. =D Two weeks until Lassen. My summer is ticking away. Yikes. It's almost gone.
But it hasn't been terrible. The first month or so was pretty busy, but it has slowed down since then. I've just been working the past few weeks, and doing nothing on the weekends. That is good and bad. It's been relaxing, but at the same time I feel like a loser because I'm not doing anything but hang out at home all weekend. Sheesh, even my mom goes to more parties than I do. How did it happen that my mother has a life and her 18-year-old daughter does not?? But it's been good to just hang around the house.
Well, I need to get to bed. I was going to wash my hair tonight, but I think it's too late. Certain family members will not be pleased.
Happy Sunday!!

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives... To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord... to comfort all who mourn... Giving them… the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. -Isaiah 61:1-3

What kind of dance thing?
And I know how you feel with the conflicted feelings of being glad for a chance to relax and feeling like a loser--but really, you'll NEED the rest time come the next few years of school. It only gets busier as you get farther along and more involved in things. I was just thinking about the other night--I remember watching movies and stuff all the time freshman year, less often sophomore year, and junior and senior year two movies a week was a TOTAL indulgence. Long note. Hope I get to see you soon. :)
