North American Handmade Bike SHow

Spent the weekend in Indianapolis with chi-town crew, bike polo kids from all over and LOTS of amazing, breathtaking, awe-inspiring bicycles at the 5th Annual North American handmade Bike Show.

I coveted many a chrome lugged frame, flirted shamelessly with cute bike builder boys (my other half doesn't mind, cuz I always go home with him...), and even documented an illegal indoor polo game.

The weekend was almost beyond words. You should see for yourself. Go to my flickr and browse, comment and come back here and tell me how jealous you are that I'm friends with the Schwinn family.

Cramming...

I find myself thinking a lot "How the hell am I ever going to find time for a full-time job? I've got so much stuff to do!" I'm so busy all the damn time, but I've got no income? how can I fix this disconnect? I'm not so sure.

I have managed to chip awa at my list of things to do lately. I finished a set of Birth Announcements for Ann, and finished my proprietor's card for the APA Membership requirements. Its not super good, but it's my first one so I think I'll the next one will be lots better.

Things I still need to do:

• Bake Bread cuz I'm down to the heel.
• Clean the damn house. The dishes are piling up.
• Print a plethora of other things for the Green With Indie craft show.
• Cut the pipe spool in half to use as a coffee table in the basement.
• Schedule an appointment with the guy who has some equipment I might want.
• Figure out how the hell to get enough done today to justify going to the Hand Built Bike Show in Indiana on Saturday.
• Put the laundry away.
• mail a birthday present to a friend.

And Sandy at Knitorious wants me to work everyday next week. YAY!!! But I'll be losing a whole week of printing time. Ugh. Guess I gotta kick it into high gear here.
