Thunder + me + 13 miles/day = $0.00/gallon

Thunder + me + 13 miles/day = $0.00/gallon

Two weeks ago I told Joey that if gas got up to $5 per gallon, I’d bike commute with him every day.  Then, suddenly, he decided we were going to start doing it now.

As in, next week.

So I found out where I can park my bike, we bought a pair of shorts to wear over my hideous bike shorts, and got a new lock for Joey’s bike.  I now have to kick fanny every day between now and Saturday, which is our Test Run day.

I am getting up early to make my commute on a Saturday.  But Joey is right, he thinks we ought to make sure our Google Maps route works before we risk it on Monday.

Next week we’re only riding in on Monday and Friday because Joey found out yesterday he has to go to Green Bay to do some interviews with one of the Packers or something.  No fair, Joey will be hobnobbing with NFL dudes while I’m at home languishing by myself.  (If he flies over Iowa and gets to wave at everyone, I quit.)

That’s all.

About jennawoestman

Joey is my best friend. We welcomed our miracle baby, Analie Alexa on November 23, 2010. She was 7 lbs of cuteness and we are so thankful for her. We lost our first baby (who we symbolically named Samuel) the summer of 2009. I love being a Christian, even when it's hard. I've tried IVF. Twice. It worked. Once. That's how we got Analie. I'm always willing to talk about infertility. Diagnosis: Stage 4 Endometriosis (plus a few other bonus things) I'm live in Indiana. I enjoy reading and going for walks in the evening. I get my news from NPR. Someday I want to be a guest on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. I love backpacking, hiking, canoeing and survival camping. I'm a big fan of weekends. My bike's name is Thunder. I'm a youth pastor's wife. I dig cows. I don't handle stress well. I'm not good at fishing; I talk too much. Cooking and baking are my favorite. I love hanging out with my girlfriends! I'm a budding environmentalista. I love me my Joey. Texas is where we "came of age". I enjoy seeing animals and want my very own Alpaca. And Koala. And Panda. Conservation is beautiful. I'm a neat freak. I like all-natural, chemical-free, environmentally-friendly products. Green is my favorite color. Still.
