So it's inventory time at the bike shop. I get to spend my entire week counting things and recounting things. It's not so bad when the big things need to be counted, but when you have to count things like bearings and spokes...geez! It certainly makes the day go by faster, but I feel a little bonkers by the end of the day.

Hmmm...so another year has past. It was kind of a crazy year for me. I made some decisions that really changed the course of my life in 2005. As hard as they were to make, I'm glad that I made them.
Hope everyone had a happy and safe celebration. I'm looking forward to a fresh new year. How about you?

Your pugs are adorable! I know what you are saying when you say that they are a handful. I only have one, and damn if I can get her to listen to the come comand. She perks her ears up and hall ass the other way. *lol* Its cute when she is bad, but some days I really wish she would listen. Are your pugs trained? If so TELL ME HOW! 
Christmas was really nice this year. I was kind of feeling bah humbug for a while, but I really enjoyed it. Santa Claus brought me a new Sirius Radio for my vehicle, so I guess I was on the nice list. I went to a lot of parties, ate a lot of food, and drank a lot of alcohol. Most importantly, I got to spend...

I haven't bought a lot of music lately, but I popped into the cd shop on the way to work yesterday and picked up Deltron 3030. Released in 2000, it's a side project of Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, and it's really good stuff. It's probably one of my top ten hip hop albums.

It annoys me when I see kids riding around on their motorized scooter. What the hell ever happened to bikes? What ever happened to exercise? What ever happened to kids being kids? A few weeks back I was driving through my neighborhood and two girls, about 9 or 10 were riding bikes next to eachother and each one was talking on a cell phone. It scares me. I have another kid who rides around on her motorized scooter while 2 of her friends pedal their bikes as fast as they can and are still a good 10 feet behind her. At least they are getting exercise. I used to love riding my bike as a kid. I'm glad my parents never bought my ass a power wheels car, because I got to go out with my friends and enjoy the nice weather, get a lot of exercise and come home and sleep like a baby. I would kill for that now. Why not let kids be kids? Sorry, I kinda got off on a rant. I would like to get myself a bike one of these days. I could really use the exercise.
What a blah day. I'm working every day from now through Christmas, but I'm glad to get the extra hours. Since my snowboarding plans were ruined for Monday, I think I'm gonna try to get up early Sunday morning and sneak in a bike ride before work. With snow, and temps in the teens, it should be a blast.

thanks for the birthday wishes.

Some dude came into the shop today and bought a $10K bicycle. Yes, I said a $10K pedal bike. It was a limited edition Livestrong bike with gold inlaid stickers. Oh, and it was siged by Lance Armstrong. I think this guy has way too much money.

Oh, and anything new on our stained glass empire, dear? It was 7 degrees when I woke up this morning. Freakin' cold! That's ok, because it's supposed to warm up to 30 today, and tonight, 3-6 inches of snow. Yay. I can see...I can see....snowboarding in my near future.

Thank you thank you for the comment!
On Mondays, I usually spend the day listing stuff on eBay. Every week, it seems like there's nothting else I could possobly sell, but I always seem to find something. This week, it's getting harder. I'm trying to simplify my possessions, and get rid of extra things in my life. At the same time, I don't want to sell things I'll regret getting rid of...

still adjusting .. and i'm a little overwhelmed with the end of the semester.. but it'll be over soon. And then i get to start all over again Jan 3rd I was supposed to go grey yesterday. I was really torn about it, but I decided to stay on SG, at least for three more months.
Yesterday, I got to fuel my new creative obsession. There's a stained glass place about an hour away from me, so I took a little trip there. They actually have a factory where they make stained glass, and they...

Work has been going well. For the month of November, I was second in sales, only behind the owner. Pretty good for the new guy. In January, when business gets slow, I'm going to be painting a huge bike mural in the store. That'll be exciting.
