Behold! The Wheeled Wonder!

July 26th, 2008 6 comments

This weekend is a biking event called 24 Hours of Booty. The event is named after the Booty Loop, the informal name for a stretch of road through the heart of Charlotte popular with serious road cyclists. They wear those little biking shorts, and they’re all in great shape, hence the name “Booty Loop.”

Today a lane was blocked off, and there were entire teams of cyclists whizzing past. Right in the middle of them was a guy sporting a giant moustache, making great time on top of the biggest unicycle I’ve ever seen in my life.

I wanna party with that guy.

I’m not quite sure what to make of the doll tableau to the left, which Emily set up in our kitchen. Nor am I quite getting the meaning behind poor Mulan, robe askew, strung up by her hair. I think the only real message here is this: kids are weird.

The cord binding Mulan’s hair, by the way, is from the pulse oximeter on the treadmill, which has now left our home. The plan is to use that space for storage for my yarn to get it out of the bottom of the freakin’ closet!

I’m pretty sure I have to make these. TOO CUTE! They’re from Knitted Sock Sensations. I’ve been weeding my shelves, so I can probably squeeze in one more knitting book.

Later on, I’m planning to up pictures of some of my bookshelves and if you want something for a token fee plus shipping, then let me know. I was going to make this post a very long entry with all of that in it, but it’s still cool out, and my husband is back from his bike ride, so it can wait. This is my opportunity to get out to the Greenway and run. I can clean anytime – I have to seize any opportunity to get out and exercise!
