Yay spring!

I'm embarrassed that I haven't updated this in such a long time. The last few months have been very busy between the opera, the super bowl, Mardi Gras, and then midterms. I finally feel like there's a lull of sorts in all the craziness. I'm trying to sell my Raleigh, I've decided that I really don't need 3 bikes here, also it's just too tall for me. This great weather has made me so cheerful! I love riding in Audubon park. I can't wait for school to be over so I have more time to ride.

Camera T_T

My poor little camera is broken! A bit of it went missing, most likely when my nephew was playing with it... I thought those Olympus waterproof cameras were supposed to withstand any beating!! I'm sending it in to them to get repaired and hopefully they fix it quickly! There are so many more people riding bikes around the university area and I want to take pictures of everyone! I really want to show the world how NOLA is a cycle chic city! There's a lot more single-speeds and fixies here too! It makes me soooo very very happy.

On a west coast note, I recently discovered Sacramento Cycle Chic! I am wholly saddened that I hadn't discovered this earlier, because I was in Sacramento all summer working at City Bicycle Works. We had 5 girls including myself working there! Lots of customers were surprised to find us working in the shop. Oh summer how I miss you! I'll have a post at some other time about all that. Hopefully I'll be working at CBW for a few weeks during my Christmas break!

Hello! Long time no post...

Fall is here! Yay! It's time for my favorite kinds of clothes. I just love getting all bundled up with scarves, gloves and cozy boots! Coats are really my number one favorite thing about Fall and Winter, especially wearing fun little dresses underneath! I have a new favorite website for buying everything adorable. Modcloth.com is full of wonderful surprises! They have the most precious clothes and accessories.

Fall in interesting here in New Orleans, The weather doesn't seem to know what it wants to do, and of course there's a tropical storm here or there. We've been having lovely riding weather lately though. I rode to the park the other day to see the giraffes. Which ended in my falling on St.Charles avenue, because I forgot to distribute the weight in my rear baskets. So I had a slo-mo pathetic scrape with the road.

I'm thinking about selling my Raleigh... It's just too too tall for me. I'll post pictures of it soon, once the weather clears up.

Back in the durrty

I am go glad to be back in New Orleans. So thrilled to be with my boy and all my friends. My life will have more meaning than chauffeuring people around. The only thing that sucks is that I'm taking a metric crap load of classes. hardly any time in the day to ride. But alas, the sun is setting later, and Mardi Gras is coming up on the horizion.

Yay!

I got a new laptop for Christmas!!! It's so cutey and baby, an Acer Aspire One, the keyboard was a little awkward at first but in getting used to it. I also got new ski boots which have been a hueg pain to break in. Merry Christmas everyone!
I've been working at City Bicycle Works during break. They were nice enough to let me work for a few weeks so I could make myself some dollars.
I can't wait to get back to NO I'm missing everyone and my bike terribly.

Lolwhuts? Sneaux?

Thursday was totally rad. It snowed in New Orleans, and it actually stuck to the ground for a while! I took a bunch of pictures, so I'm gonna post some of them here.


Yay!

Giving thanks and getting presents.

I spent my first birthday/Thanksgiving away from my family this year. I went to a small town in Georgia an hour north of Tallahassee (I'm not sure what the name is) with the Boy and his parents and nephew. It was loads of fun, but I definitely missed having Thanksgiving at home. I missed having adobo, tinola, and lumpia along with normal Thanksgiving foods. It was really nice to spend time with Brian's family and bum around in Mobile and Georgia. His sister and I have the same birthday, so we got to have a fun little celebration. Brian still hasn't taken me to get my present. I definately wont let him forget before I have to go home. My parents got me a new camera for my birthday! It's an Olympus Stylus 1030 SW. I love it. I already knew I would, since it's pretty much the same camera I had before, but there's just something so much more awesome when its brand new and shiny. I haven't had a chance to take pictures just yet. Tomorrow is pretty promising. This weekend couldn't have come sooner. School is getting so so super busy since it's finals time now. I've already had two of them and I'm a lot less stressed out about it than I normally am. Then winter break is coming up next week and I'll be able to go home. Which means skiing and snowboarding, and hopefully working at the shop.
This morning I got another flat tire, which made me very very sad. These crappy crappy roads are not being very nice to me.
