Yippee!

I am the proud new owner of this bike! (You're right, Cuppa, Treks are lovely bikes!)

Something about a shiny new bike makes me want to genderize (is that a word?) it. As in... "SHE's a beauty. SHE rides like a dream. I think I'll take HER for a spin." Not sure what that says about me, but you can read into it what you want :-)

I'm ecstatic! It's my early birthday present to ME!

And in another random, and completely unrelated thought, this morning when I went to make my tea, I saw the word "Sunbeam" on the kettle, and my mind did a crazy and unanticipated leap back to that old Sunday School song "I'll be a sunbeam for Jesus." Ich! Where do these thoughts come from? (It's not just MY thoughts I'm questioning, but the thoughts of whoever decided THAT should be a song.) Now I just KNOW that song will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day!

Maybe today, I'll be a sunbeam for TREK! :-)
