Safety First

I'm not one to stray too far from what i deem to be safe... I'm not one to be totally adventurous but i enjoy adventure. my april adventure became a HOUSE.

On a whim, i browsed listings and lo and behold... found a house i absolutely loved. On a whim, i e mailed the realtor and said, hey! i want to see this place. so i went to go see it. It was beautiful... on the inside. the exterior was horrendously kept so i kept looking. and two weeks later, no... less than two weeks later... i had put in an offer which was accepted as i was flying somewhere over colorado. I land, and i get this message from the realtor: congratulations, they have accepted the offer. and since then, the past week has been a whirlwind of chaos.

Yesterday was the three hour long home inspection. I spent my hours from 4:30pm-7:30pm poking my head into dark corners, climbing up rickety ladders into the attic, crawling down under the house into the crawl space. Armed and ready, they gave me a flashlight, hard hat, and a white suit

Ready, Set, GO!

and crawl around in the mud i did. I learned a lot.

But to break the monotony of Failed Experiments and House Chaos, I bought a bike. My credit card has not seen this much action in a long time.


Hello, my Pink Companion

And went for a ride.

I'm not too good at pictures over my shoulder

Mind you, holding the camera and trying to take pictures while riding really fast on a two lane road with cars flying by at 50 mph... is a little bit scary. but hey, the night was beautiful and there was a storm system hot on my tracks

Sunset, Huge midwest sky

Couldn't catch the lightning

I guess i should step outside my box and do some more exciting things. like, drop out of the program and open my wine bar and my cafe. there's a lot to think about. and i guess i only learned that life waits for nobody. neither does science. and i've fallen behind in both.
