Okay, so I was planning on getting all kinds of stuff done yesterday when I came across Mark Rayner’s blog, The Skwib (a funny place, in a good way!), and noticed his post on making your own superhero. Hmmm…do I smell a distraction? Sure do. So, on to The Hero Factory I went and created my very own superhero! Here she is, and maybe a little ‘splainin’ is in order…

That’s really my hair—a usually short do that hasn’t seen a trim FOR MONTHS. And I love cycling (although the basement has held my bike hostage for a few years now…negotiations are underway), hence the racing garb in beautiful Bianchi celeste [*shiver*]. And the stick? While I could’ve had a sword or a gun or nun-chucks even, Lucy likes a nice stick on her walks to tug on. And it doubles nicely for smacking other cyclists who don’t yell “ON YOUR LEFT!” when passing. And the bod? It came from the family gene pool—just not my family.

So, named The Fantastic Splintery Splinter (where did I go wrong—was it the stick?), I’ll change it to Sprintery Sprinter, once the bike and I get back on the road…

Now, go goof off…
