Bike+Turning with no hands=Gravity

                                    My elbow injury

     My hand injury            

 The whole she-bang.

 This little accident happened last week. I have always wanted to ride a bike with no hands. i was doing GREAT! i got to the point where i needed to learn how to turn on corners. The only way to really know if you can do it is to try it! Right? Well that is exactly what i did. My first turn went good so i decided to take on the second turn, it was sharper but i still wanted to try. While leaning i notice that i was leaning too far over, naturally i lean the other way and grabbed the handle bars. I started overcorrecting my self and i knew i had to prepare myself for a landing. The results from the accident were not that bad. A few scraps and bruises here and there, but i was up and riding the next day!

Lagoon Trip

 It's an oxymoron. I thought this was so FUNNY.
 We thought it would be funny to take a pic with a random boy. He worked at Arby's 
      These are some of my roommates from College. We decided that we needed to spend some time together over the summer and why not go to a place where everyone will be happy. Lagoon! 

Murder Mystery Date

               

On Thursday night a select number of single adults went on a murder mystery date. We each had an Italian character to portray. My character's name was Tara Misu. Here is what the invitation said about my character. " Tara is Rocco's vivacious young fiancee. she was just an upstairs maid in Rocco's villa until she swept him off his feet. Now Tara keeps a smile on his face and a firm grip on Rocco's assets. Costume Suggestion: Tara is dressed to KILL. She knows the effect she has on men and flaunts her charms shamelessly." Now let me ask you, does that sound ANYTHING like me? i think it's the exact opposite. haha i still thought it was pretty funny though. The people who assigned me the character probably knew i would be the ONLY one who would dress up the part. Did i do a good job or what?  i would like to thank Amber for the outfit and Ryan for the advice. Everyone thought my costume was the best. Since i was the only one who dressed up like this. Everyone else was in CHURCH CLOTHES! i felt a little out of place, but i think my character was suppose to be different from everyone else. haha

Accidents happen

Last week i was at work cleaning and organizing the cooler. My Boss Melissa and i were looking at  drinks for inventory reasons.  We found a whole cart full of expired drinks. Melissa told me to throw them out. i took the carton out to the garbage and just as i was about to throw a whole carton of glass bottles away i realized it would make a HUGE mess. I thought "That wouldn't be very nice for the garbage man" (i know of all things to think of at that time, i think of the garbage man's feelings!). I went back inside the store and grabbed a couple plastic grocery sacks. i put ALL 15 bottles into one bag, thinking it would be just fine. NOT... right as i picked up the bottles, the bag broke and glass shatter EVERYWHERE. i thought "Great Lisa, what were you thinking, now YOU have glass to deal with instead of the garbage man!" I didn't want to use a broom because that would just make a bigger mess. i started by picking up the big pieces of glass. i went back inside to grab another bag and told some co-workers what had happen. One of them suggested using bread. I thought BREAD? she said that it picks up glass fairly well. i thought i would give it a try, i got a couple of pieces of bread from the kitchen and headed outside AGAIN. The bread worked for a little bit. Let's just say bread and asphalt are NOT  the best of friends. It picked up the bread, but three seconds later it fell to the ground again. i was getting impatient by this time. i was irritated that i didn't think this through, and i was cold because it was windy. i started picking up the glass with my fingers again. i was almost done when all of a sudden if fell something CUT ME! i knew it would happen i was just waiting for the moment. After i took care of the glass i went inside to get a band-aid. Of course people freaked out when they saw my finger bleeding. i told them it wasn't a big deal, i just needed a band-aid.  I treated my wound properly and went on with my day. No less than TWO minutes i looked down and saw i bled through my band-aid.  This was our alternative band-aid. I have to say one thing.....DUCK TAPE FIXES EVERTHING!

Time for new shoes

Every monday some of the young single adults in Dutch John get together and play basketball. oh and yes, there are enough people to play a real three on three game. How else would my shoe have a tear in it? haha i guess i was playing a little too hard!  i think it's about time to say goodbye to a beloved pair of shoes!

Birds

       This is what happens when you live next to a person who chooses to have pigeons instead of cats or dogs! At least they haven't pooped on me yet!  They just like to poop ALL OVER MY CAR!!!!!!
