Its about me.

Tree Climbing and Hungry Howies

meisajDaily Life

The art of tree climbing is lost on most adults I think.  The nimble ability to hoist yourself up a branch or trunk till you get a solid hold and keep climbing higher and higher.

I love climbing trees.  It rocks.  And is fun.  Sarah and I climbed some trees yesterday, and while I don’t have a picture of me climbing a tree, here’s one of Sarah up in a tree.

We ended the day by getting Hungry Howie’s 3-cheeser bread.  I’m not sure what makes their cheeser bread so freaking good, but it was.  We got some at 3 pm, and then headed back around 8:30 for another order.  Apparently Hungry Howie’s is a chain (I’ve never seen one before moving to Cleveland, but we saw one in Florida), however the 3-Cheeser Bread at other locations is nowhere near as good as it is here in Cleveland (well the Hungry Howie’s we frequent is in Lakewood).  Their pizza is alright, the 3-Cheeser Bread is fantastic.

On a side-note, it is awful to live away from Buffalo.  No place out here sells what can rightfully be called a Buffalo Chicken Pizza.  Its a travesty.  And wings out here, a sad sad affair.  There is a Buffalo Wild Wings around here someplace, I may have to hit them up soon for a little taste of home.  Their boneless wings are pretty good.

Turning Lane

meisajDaily Life

I have been having these weird thoughts about the turning lane lately.

Do you have to put on your blinker in the turning lane?  Just in random observations it seems most people don’t (although I think its close to 50/50).  I always put on my blinker in the turning lane.

I’m not sure what the law states (nor am I really interesting in what the law states about it), but in my own experience I would rather have a blinker on for the unobservant drivers who don’t realize they are in a turning lane with me and could smash up my vehicle if they choose to than not turn it on.  I’m not sure what  has brought this to the forefront of my thought lately but its there.

Oh…and another thing that bugs me.  I have snapped a few pictures with my cell phone from my car lately on the way to work.  I post them on facebook, or here, or wherever and there is always that ass who seems to need to smugly point the obvious out   “who’s driving the vehicle.”

Side note – I honestly don’t think police should be able to ticket us for something as mundane as using your cell phone while driving, when police do it all the time.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cop with a bluetooth headset on, but I have seen many cops using the cell phones while driving.  Not rushing to an accident or anything, but casually driving the streets.  I would laugh my ass off if one police officer pulled over another for using their cell phone while driving.  I think then, I could accept that law.

Anyways, so when I see something awesome while I’m driving I’ll snap a picture, if there’s a place to stop and take the picture, I will, but if not, I’ll snap a quick picture anyways.   And without fail some ass who probably does their make up or drinks their coffee, searches for something in the backseat, eats some food, looks for something in her purse or fiddles with the radio while driving, but sees nothing wrong with those distracting actions, will comment on taking a picture using while driving.  Its moronic, stupid and irksome.

While it is gorgeous here today and was also yesterday, earlier in the week the nights were still cold.  Sarah stole my scarf one morning.  This is the picture I got later in the day.

Being that it is the first picture of Sarah I think I’ve posted on my website I probably should put a more flattering one up, but the scarf one is just so amusing.

Rare

It was one of those rare instances where there was no parking anywhere near my apartment.  I decided to count footsteps to my apartment door.  I count to 463.

463 steps to my front door.  How ridiculous is that.

Its Time

meisajDaily Life

I have been saying once it gets above 45 degrees I’ll start biking.  I implied 45 degrees in the morning ( I really don’t want to bike in colder weather than that), however it is supposed to be in the mid-50’s all week this week.

So Mother Nature, here’s the deal.  Next week, on Tuesday, if it (daytime) temperature in the mid-50’s (and not rainy), I’ll bike to work.  Its time.  Or will be soon enough.

Couple things I need to do in preparation:

  • drop bike off for a tune up.  A couple of places around me have 24 hour turn around
  • get biking shorts.  Or shorts in general.  I need some.
  • buy sunglasses.  Mine all broke.
  • ????  I’m sure there is something else I’m forgetting

I’m excited though.  All the construction that I had to bike through last summer and fall is done.  Smooth new roads for this year.  YaY!!!!
