all i ever wanted...

so last night i experienced what i've been dreaming of since the moment i brought the moped home from minnesota.

i was sitting around last night watching backed-up tivo shows when i suddenly remembered that i had forgotten to get the one thing i needed to get over the weekend.

now there have been some rumors floating around as to what exactly i needed to get....i have heard that it was aspirin...band-aids....gum....and stickers. i'm not sure what that means when people are suddenly fascinated by what it is that necessitated my immediate purchase, and i'm flattered that the teeny-bopper rumormill actually made it back to me, BUT, the truth is i did need stickers. i know that it is a bit far-fecthced to imagine any scenario in which one would desperately need to buy stickers, but, this, without revealing too much of my suspicious personal life, was one of those moments.

being that it was beautiful last night, i quickly thought i would walk to the CVS on the corner and pick up that lamest, cheapest, crappiest stickers i could until i had time to actually go to a real sticker gettin' place. THEN...i remembered that the moped indeed, was running and that i could hop on it and give it a shot.

my whole goal in getting the moped was 1) to enjoy the outdoors a bit more without having to actually walk anywhere 2) save on gas money 3) help the environment... and most importantly 4) zip here and there whilst others envy my sweet life.

so i hopped on, started it up immediately, drove to the CVS, made my sticker purchase, smiley faces...lame as predicted....hopped on the bike, rode home and was back on the couch within 10 minutes.

THIS, as i unintentionally quote classic n'sync, was all i ever wanted.

more to come...
