I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike.

I did ride my bike back to work at the end of my lunch break yesterday and then of course I had to ride it home. Jonathan met me in the parking lot after work and rode home with me for fun. We both agreed that a short bike ride at 6:15 is lovely.

I was all excited to ride my bike today and of course it's raining.

Tonight Jonathan and I are going to see the UT Dance Company spring show. I've heard good things about the pieces this year so I'm excited to see what they've put together. (See how totally into dance I am right now? I'm so artistic.)

I'm a dork and since we've quit buying bottled water, I'm trying to ride my bike as much as possible, and I quit eating meat and HFCS, now I'm convinced that I need to make little snack sized fabric bags so that I don't generate one bag of trash a day when I combine almonds and dried cranberries for my 11:00 snack at work. I was going to use some old sheets to make grocery bags, but Jonathan showed up at home with two gigantic Regions bank reusable grocery bags, so those are no longer necessary. All I need for my baggies are little zippers.

I bought a Timbuk2 messenger bag last night so that I can carry all of my belongings to work with me and not have to borrow Jonathan's Timbuk2 bag indefinitely. The bag was purple and on sale. Clearly I needed it. Now I just have to work on being patient while it's shipped to me. I'm not good at patient.

I am doing pretty good at not feeling inadequate though. I almost felt inadequate at work today. I actually had the thought, "Maybe I'm just never going to get a handle on this" and I got sad. Then I remembered that I gave that up and reminded myself that I am capable of doing whatever I put my mind to, and that if I didn't care to put my mind to it, the least I could do was be better than everyone else at work. Inadequacy has just been replaced with a need for superiority. Great....
