bikes, bikes, bikes

The weather in Wisconsin tonight is perfection. As soon as I got home from work I changed into my biking outfit, filled up my water bottle, snapped on the helmet and off I was! Delafield has amazing biking trails. Scenic, peaceful and bustling at the same time, and plenty of paved miles to explore. Here's my outfit: 


The fanny pack is obviously my favorite part. Tonight during my ride I was thinking about a few things... 

  • My wedding. Getting married in two months, so excited!!!
  • Eyelash extensions are literally the worst when you're biking @ 16 mph
  • The fantasy-land puketastic bachelorette is on tonight. Do I watch Jordan Rodgers or Netflix and chill?
  • What is Netflix and chill?! 
But, more seriously, I had some major concerns during the bike ride. 

First up: people are @$$hats when it comes to stopping for pedestrians/bikers/dog walkers. I mean there are clear signs that say yield for pedestrians in crosswalks. What the F, I'm just trying to be my healthiest me and all you drivers out there are trying to kill me when I'm simply trying to cross the road? Don't be one of those people. Stop for the bikers! 

Next, I'm looking for some advice. We'll see who can help me out! I need a good pair of sunglasses, specifically a pair that's good for biking. My current fave sunglasses: a pair of amazing aviators. But they're not exactly made for biking - bugs are constantly flying through the middle part into my eyes. Share some good brands with me. Huge plus if they're polarized. 

That's it for tonight! 

Xoxo, B

I'm back, b*tches

Forgive me, blogger, for I haven't blogged. It's been almost three years since my last entry. We have TONS to catch up on.

So let's talk about what's been going on since July, 11th 2013. I've done a million things. No, literally, I have. Probably more. Here are the important things:

I bought a lot of shoes
Went to Mexico (twice!!)
Moved in with my boyfriend - we live in Delafield and we're snobs
Took an amazing trip with my sister to Door County, and I cannot WAIT for our next trip!
GOT ENGAGED to the love of my life <3 (best day of my life!!!)
Took a girls trip to NYC
Stood up in my younger brothers wedding
Took a trip to Boston with my fiance

It's been a wonderful past few years! I haven't had any serious issues with my MS which is amazing!!! But, some things did change. One - my medication: in November of 2014 I started taking Gilenya. It's a pill. I take it every day, which is a much better option than taking a shot every other day. The shot became so painful and I the bruises it gave me? Ew, stop. The pill is much easier. I still have really tough days... sometimes I find it hard to hold a conversation with someone. It's a new issue I have encountered. While I know exactly what I want to say, processing the thought through my brain and getting it out isn't always easy. I've noticed this in several conversations lately, and simply hope no one else does.

Let's stay in touch! I'll be back soon
