* It's been a busy week past week and a half.
* I lugged my running shoes to two different states and did not touch them.
* That's dedication for you.
* Oceanographers drink a lot.
* The head of Nortek looks uncannily like John Edwards, if he had a slight Norwegian accent.
* Unlike some people, I apparently am all about the random hookup.
* Even if she did have a flat when I got her home.
* Seriously though, one day when I was fantasizing about a new bike, I actually had researched my new purchase before.
* So when I walked in and it was sale, I decided it was meant to be.
* Of course, when I went to the store after doing a ten mile run that morning, I was in my running shorts and my legs were really not in any state to test drive a bike, but I still took her out for a ten mile ride before I bought her and it was nice to be so comfy in aero!
* And she's blue!
* But besides for security, I have to hide her in the basement since my neighbor works for the other bike store in town and I am slightly ashamed I cheated on my regular LBS with this purchase.
* Dam to Dam is going to hurt.
* I still need two more runners for our relay team!!!!!

and yet ANOTHER person with a new bike (blatent Episode 9 refrence)! Congrats....ride it well!
+ have you named your bike?
+ it's hilarious that bike people say "LBS". Knitting people say "LYS".
Whoa, I completely thought you had a random hookup at the conference. Or maybe that it what you are trying to secretly confess ;)
Wow - you hooked up at a conference? Now that's hardcore.
Oh great, way to start the rumors Laurie :-)
between yours and rainmaker's posts today...salicious bike craziness...
I think this is the point where I'm supposed to wander into the discussion and congratulate you on a drunken-cheating-lesbian-smurf conference-hook-up with an oceanographer you'd stalked beforehand, even if you were disappointed with her digs (hoping for a full-on house instead of a flat?). Just because I think the implications of this post deserve a full enumeration.
Or maybe just say, "Marx wasn't kidding about commodity fetishism." Except that would be pretty snippy and trite, and really that joke is quite played-out by now.
The new bike does look pretty hott, though. If I had one like it I'd be parading it around on Lake Shore Drive at Bike the Drive in all of three hours! After pulling an all-nighter! Probably not one of my better-planned ideas...
HA! I love that you are ashamed to not have purchased the bike from your neighbors store! That's great!
