Long Awaited Update
Well I've been horrible about actually blogging lately. I've been trying to keep up with picture posting, but I haven't written anything of consequence in a while...
So I've been pretty busy trying to make the most of out of the great summer weather. I've been biking around Rochester like crazy. I'm pretty partial to a daily 12 mile ride from my house to Pittsford and back on the bike path...but occasionally, I'll go the other direction and head towards Greece. That is also around 12 miles from my house to Long Pond...but so far every time I've done that ride, I've always gotten a ride home ;-)
Last weekend I went and bought a new bike. It's a hybrid, but alot closer to a road bike than my old mountain bike :-). I LOVE it. It's soooo wonderful! I can go much faster and longer because the bike is so light and the tires are much skinnier. I am constently looking for excuses to ride my bike somewhere.
I've also had my first fall...which coiencidentially happened on my 2nd ride on my new bike. I wasn't even riding...but just standing on the street. My pedel got stuck on the curb. I ended up falling forward on my face in the street. Hehehe. I am a bit cut up and bruised but nothing serious. My knee took the brunt of the fall and is now a lovely shade of red/purple/yellow.
I'm trying to pick up my cake decorating again too. Here's one of the first desserts that I've made this summer. It's a brownie-3-tiered cake with royal frosting and powered sugar decrations. In about a week, my contract at work will be ending, so I am sure to be experimenting with some new cake recipies I have on hand, while I'm on an extended vacation!
