I am a Biker Chick

Yep, that's right, the Fortuitous Housewife is a biker chick - a bicycle chick, that is!

I love my Specialized Roubaix Elite (AKA Ruby. OK, so I'm not so creative when it comes to nicknaming objects!) that I splurged on a few years back.

My Ruby - silver & sleek - takes me great places, physically & mentally.
A few weeks ago I found myself with the rare opportunity to wander (alone!) through one of my FAV stores, Paper Source, and found this adorable tote by Blue Q.
Retro chicks on bikes! I had to have it! Even bought a 2nd one for a biking gal pal!
Blue Q is a wonderful Western MA company that designs & manufactures (with 94% post-consumer recycled marterials) an amazingly varied line of fab & funky products, and is the largest employer in their area of individuals with disabilities. I have several of their totes & pouches and love 'em all.  My poor Weekender bag has been subjected to two summers at the beach and still looks great!

Then, the other day, I get this email from Paper Source... 
paper source new stuff! | locations

Darn you Paper Source! 

Now I have to "arrange" another solo shopping excursion! 'Cause I need those retro bike glasses! (Not! But I'll find a way to squeeze them in my already full kitchen cabinets! Hopefully the Handsome Husband won't notice 'em for a while, so when he finally does I can honestly say, "What, those old things?" Wait, he reads this blog! Damn it, I have NO secrets!) And, hey, where did all the notepads go that were stacked up in the kitchen organizer? Guess I need a note pad and note cube! Note cards, too? Well, if you insist! I promised to write y'all notes soon, very soon, really, I promise!

More on notes tomorrow. Now I must stop procrastinating & focus on my newsletter editing job!
