Riding My Bike is ALWAYS an Adventure

I write about biking a lot here at Fondant is Gross, which probably not what you expect from a blog that has a cake themed name.  Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling all that creative the night I founded this blog, or at least as far as coming up with something related to my name or something I was doing at the time. Now I think that I could call my blog Century, 5K and Jenny makes three or something else bizzare like that.  But I like my blog name and I'd like to think that having passion for what I write about will allow you to forgive me for having a misleading-ish blog title.

Anyway, the reason this post is titled as it is, is for at this moment, I am writing this post, sitting on a rock, under a tree somewhere on Stillman road in the greater Lansing area, hoping I don't get wet while I wait for Adam to come back and get me, because, in spectacular fashion, I have earned yet another flat, this time on the front wheel, instead of the back.

I'll be here awhile since it's going to take Adam at least a half hour to get back to the apartment and then another 10-15 to get back here.  But, the Blogger smartphone app allows me to add pics to this post from my phone, so, here are some lovely photos of my surroundings.

Oh, and not one car has stopped to see if I'm ok. Yeesh.  I did get one honk.











I forgot to mention it's raining also.

EDIT: I'm home, safe and warm now.  I didn't have enough data service to post on the road, so here it is anyway!

When It Rains It Pours....

As those of you who live in the area know very well, it rained like hell yesterday.

Our parking lot has one storm drain. Right there. In the middle. In that little part that is flat. Can you see it? (Yeah, I can't see it either.)

It's fall (ground breaking observation - LOOK OUT!) and so this drain gets clogged, and this happens...

The poor bastard who is parked weird soaked their engine trying to drive through the middle. Not the best choice....


Well that was the day in Central Michigan, how was the weather where YOU are?

RANDOM

Always watch oatmeal when it is in the microwave - it blows up - true story.

Check your e-mail before you get to campus, class might be canceled. You think I would have learned by now.

Honey makes oatmeal better - yum.

I want it to snow really bad, but all we get is wind and rain.

But I like thunderstorms.

Oatmeal is hard to eat fast.

Theatre classes are harder than you think.

Today is Day 16 so I'm doing Cardio X this afternoon.

GLEE IS BACK TONIGHT! OMG! OMG! OMG! (Sorry, had to get that out of my system...)

I have to perform a Shakespeare monologue on Thursday and I can't get the last 4 lines in my brain to stay.

Admission: some of you may have seen my Day 2 of 30 Days of Truth on accident, please ignore it, it wasn't finished.

I have a scene in 10 minutes, wish me luck!!

I will add more random thoughts when I think of them.

*EDIT*
More Random:

I feel bad for posts that don't have as many views!

I AM SO EXCITED!! I HAVE 30 VIEWS TODAY AND 69 ALL TIME! (haha, 69! Sorry, immature.)
