Just cause

Holy frickin crap! My legs are sore. I worked out on my lunch break yesterday, trying to strengthen the muscles around my knee. And then we went riding. It was not my best ride ever. My lungs hurt (I fell off the smoking bandwagon again) and I hadn’t ridden in a couple weeks because I went all crazy. The best anti-smoking thing is trying to play catch-up with D on a bike. Number One – he will smoke your ass. But I used to gain on him. I used to. Now I am back a few steps. One of these days I will beat him! MUAHAHAHA! (I have a slight competitive streak)

Okay this is a touch scary. I admit to being a little arrogant about sunscreen. I make sure D is covered because he’s so fair, but I’ve never put much credence in keeping myself protected. My skin is pretty pale until I get into the sun. Then I turn all caramel, and look like I have Mexican blood. Right now I have various shades of Erica, with my shoulders the darkest thing on my body but my belly is glow-in-the-dark white. I rival D on the white parts of my body. But I am going to be smart and start using sunscreen. You should too!

I am endlessly amused by the shuffle songs feature on my iPod. So far it’s been: Billie Holiday, Royksopp, George Michael (and you can eat my butt if you don’t like him!), Jesus and Mary Chain, a song from the Swordfish Soundtrack and Dieselboy. I don’t know why I am so tickled by it, but I am.
