Manda requested I start posting again. She's cute when she's bossy and I like to please her, so here is my one post before I abandon the blog again until she notices.

It's been roughly 2.5 years since I last posted. I'm not even going to try and summarize that amount of life.

My chosen topic: I get teased a lot for "being build like a dude". It's never offensive and always funny because of the joke's origin.

A few years back I was buying my first real-legit-expensive mountain bike. I was pretty excited about this whole bicycle thing. I'd researched different brands and frame geometries. Since at the time, I was really convinced I was a girl, I asked about women specific designs at my local bike shop.

Me: "Do you guys carry WSD bikes?"

The sales guy Rob pauses and looks at me.

Rob: "Are you looking for you?"

Me: "Yes."

He proceeds to size me up.

Rob: "Well, you're kind of built like a guy, so I wouldn't recommend them for you."

Me: "...."

Rob: "...."

Me: "Was that a line backer in a dress comment?" (I'm laughing)

Rob: "No! It's just you have a long torso and the seat-to-handle-bar ratio is shorter on WSD bikes..."

Of course, I told my brother this story and he hasn't let it go since. Over the years, the joke has morphed into the fact that I have "broad shoulders" for a girl. My boss even brings it up on conference calls. "Just give the task to Lindsay. She's got broad shoulders, she can handle the additional burden."

See you in a few years!

Peace Out.
