A New Toy. Possibly Named "Scheldon."

I'm ready to ride!

The fun continued today!  I spent the afternoon with another one o' the "besties," my very best girlfriends, and caught a movie, "Something Borrowed."  A blast!  I always love spending time with this friend, and today was no exception.  A bonus was that I was able to pack healthy snacks in my purse, and I brought a big bottle of Smart Water, so there was no serious temptation to get tons of unhealthy food at the snack bar.  (I heard the popcorn scream to me as I passed by, but I held up my hand and said, "Shut it, you popcorn!"  And it did.)

"Scheldon"?

Finally, after the movie, my friend was kind enough to drive me to the store to buy a new toy.  I needed her help and her car with the big, open back to do so, because the new toy doesn't fit in my ride.  My new toy is a little celebration of a new commitment to fitness: a new bike.  I had a bike already, but only a little one-speed cruiser, which wasn't sufficient to ride any real distance from my place, especially in hilly Fayetteville, AR.  But I picked up this new hybrid, which is comfortable to ride but can also do on- or off-road riding, and I can't wait to try it out on the trails here!  Woohoo!

Now, the bike needs a name.  The old one-speed bike is "Anita Ward."  (Do you remember Ms. Ward's song?  "You can ring my be-e-e-e-e-e-ell...ring my bell..."  Appropriate for a bike, no?)  But this new bike needs something different.  Not sure what that's going to be yet.  It's a Schwinn, so I'm thinking "Scheldon" might work.
