i woke up on saturday morning and the humidity had finally dissipated. i was so excited and decided that instead of the elliptical workout that i had been doing all week due to the incredibly hot weather, i would actually work out outside. so i grabbed my bike and started heading to the lake for a nice ride.
i was about a half a block from home when i noticed a squirrel about five feet away from me in the street. i was biking at a pretty good pace already, and thought to myself that a squirrel wouldn't be so stupid as to run in front of a moving bicycle. of course i was wrong. the squirrel ran right at me, got caught in the spoke of my bike, ran up my leg and back flipped off me and back into the street. luckily he was no worse for the wear and ran away quickly. me, not so much. i was a little shaken and my bike ride was over. i rode the half a block home, washed my legs and worked out on the elliptical.
happy monday! may the squirrels stay out of your bike spokes this week!
xo,
two birds









I LOVE both inspiration outfits.. Just simply LOVELY! So great to see differing versions (even preggers one, which by the way ROCKS!)
ReplyDeleteI knew right away I wanted to join but the 100 degree weather was just anti-jean! bummer
The squirrel? hahaha I would be so shaken up I would go home and hide under the covers!

Holy cow - that squirrel would have FREAKED me out! They are crazy little guys. Love both outfits - the bright orange with the nude shoes is a perfect combo :)

You girls did such a great job on these outfits. I love the bright colored tops that you picked out. My outfit was a bit plain, as I didn't have any orange tops. You both look great!
ReplyDeleteYou both look great! The bright tops work wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute looks! Megan, I LOVE that necklace.
ReplyDeleteOk, that squirrel story scared the crap out of me and I would be terrified of them now! Definitely stick to the indoor elliptical :D
LOL about the squirrel, I can only imagine how that must have felt to have him run up your leg! I'd be screaming!
ReplyDeleteLove both of your looks - Megan the tribal necklace is so fun! Nora, your top is funky and awesome!
that story sounds terrifying! seriously squirrels are crazy. you should probably work out inside from now on!! megan - love the color of your top and that necklace! nora - LOVE your shoes!
ReplyDeleteGood grief! You should write short stories for readers digest or something. This made me anxious, scared, nervous, excited and giggly at the same time lol
ReplyDeleteLove both outfits as usual. Love your necklace and top Megan. Need your shoes and scarf in my life Nora :)
Megan you look cute very close to the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteNora cute take on your inspired look..love the neon colors. Cute story about the squirrel!

Aah - that necklace is fab, Megan! And the squirrel story is awesome. I mean, not so much awesome in the middle of it, I suppose. But it made for a good read.:)
ReplyDeleteI love both of the looks, I cannot wait to wear some rolled up jeans again, it's too hot here! Love both of your tops too!
ReplyDeleteMan, what a crazy bike-ride! Glad you are okay!
Aaaack! Horrible! I've been terrified of squirrels for YEARS after my mother in law told me this story about her friend who was out taking a walk when a squirrel jumped on her HEAD, then panicked, couldn't get off, and bloodied her head before being able to get off her. Your story is worse! My phobia just got validated. Thank you. Now I can tell my HH this story- he loves to tease me about squirrels, but it's serious!

Good for you and your bike ride! Um my bike ride would be over as well. I get like shaken up when I almost hit a squirrel with a car! Its starting to cool down here for us as well. This is the first "cooler" day in awhile. Love both of these looks! adorable. I love that color! :)

I would have been freaked out too! What a crazy squirrel he must be some sort of Evil Kenevil squirrel to do that lol
ReplyDeleteYou really know how to take inspiration from an outfit and make it work! I looked at this one and went ahrgh! I wish I could think fashionably laterally like you!
ReplyDeleteClicked too early! Cannot believe that squirrel- what a nutter! (no pun intended!) Hope your nerves aren't too frayed!
ReplyDeleteOnly you Megan. I can't believe it! Never a dull moment. They are unpredictable little buggers. You could have been really hurt. Anyway, I love your outfit. Really love it. I hope this is a daybird outfit too. I love the color combo, necklace and jeans look great on you. Sometimes the simplest outfits really work great don't they? Nora, this psychadelic shirt is awesome. Love the print and colors. Your hair is getting longer and it looks so full and pretty. Have a great day! Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteLovely outfits ladies!
ReplyDeleteI can not believe that squirrel! I reckon his mates were hiding up a nearby tree and dared him to do it!
Both of you did the look very well, I like the print on Nora's shirt

WHAT!! That’s insane! I would have been so scared ... I’m actually pretty terrified of squirrels. Seriously, that’s a crazy story!
ReplyDeleteBut, on a different note, you guys look amazing!! love these looks.

Wow! I am amazed that you stayed upright on the bike. I am pretty sure I would have ended up on the ground. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove both outfits!
Oh my goodness, that's terrible. I'm always so scared when I'm riding that I'll run over a cat or a squirrel because they don't seem to have a fear of bikes like they do cars. And now that I know it happened to you, I'm totally freaking out!
ReplyDeleteYou both look great!
ReplyDeleteGreat outfits :) Squirrels are crazy :D
ReplyDeleteI'm following you now :)

Oh my gosh- eeek! Glad you and the little guy are ok, wow that would really startle me (I get creeped out when bugs fly in my mouth when I'm biking, let alone furry creatures catapulting off me!) Love both of your shirts, Nora's psychadelic 70s pattern and Megan's funky necklace!
ReplyDeletemegan i love that necklace so much! nora, that top is gorgeous on you! you guys look fab in orange!!!

I ma pretty sure I would be shaken as well. Hope you and the little guy are okay. Love the inspiration but can't join this week. :/
ReplyDeleteBoth of you look gorgeous as usual. And Nora's shirt is amazing. Love the colour. :)

Woah, that's an incredible story! I'm glad you and the squirrel were ok. I had a similar incident with a chicken once and was much more shaken by it than the chicken was!
ReplyDeleteLove Megan's necklace and funky shoes, and Nora's super fun top and awesome headband/hairstyle today. Looking good ladies!
HaHaHa! I think that squirrel is a little daredevil! You two always look great.

darling outfits, nora & megan! i want to see close ups of the jewelry. :) that squirrel would have shaken me up too. we see squirrels all the time, but nothing like that. it's humid & hot all the time here.
ReplyDeleteI like the folded up hem of your jeans. Very casual and chic summer look!
ReplyDeleteThat squirrel was possibly heat-deranged! An experience like that would give me serious shivers.
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious! I hope you get over it now =)
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog. The dress has been blogged. See you again at my blog soon =)
i LOVE this look! and you guys really made it your own. beautiful :)

The squirrel is so daring....would have scared me too. What a great summer inspiration! I love your tops...and the cropped jeans are perfect summer items to have! I like Megan's tribal inspired necklace and Nora's retro top. Cute looks!
