Today is an awesome day.
I did something with my mother earlier today and I feel more confident about myself now, more feminine, even if I don't wear make up and I wear men worker pants. Its an amazing feeling. When I got back home, my father presented me

The tires as you can see are completely dead, but new tires aren't that expensive, and the old tremclad (?) paint on is is not so good looking, but the chain is alright, the frame is solid, there's something to do with that, and since I have already 3 bikes, it makes the fourth one, and my first cruiser, its worth spending time on it. And my mother already had a straw bucket for the front of the bike, how cute! I also got a 7'' in the mailbox too.
I got myself a new u-lock. (Yes I screwed up mine last summer. I never thought it would be actually possible to bump it so hard it wouldn't lock anymore.)I found a cheap tiny air pump at the store too (easy to carry in my bag)I also shopped a bit for a set of wrench (I always use my father's and its a bit annoying for him since I always forget to put them at the right place.)
Some people would pay so much to be as happy as I am right now.
