Messy Jessie's

This is my best friend, Jes:

(Why is Lance riding the opposite direction of everyone else?)

I met Jes at my first retail job when I was 16, and we became fast friends.  I credit her with my love of cycling — first she taught me to mountain bike, and then she taught me how to ride in a city.  (Lately I only ride in a spinning class, but I’m trying to fix that!)  She’s one of those rare people who are good at everything they try and can turn any stranger into a friend in seconds, everywhere they go.  Being an extreme introvert, I regard the latter ability much the way I regard the ability to run a five-minute mile.

Jes got laid off recently from a job that she was too good for anyway.  She’s taking some time to try running her own business, selling handmade aprons and such.  If you were here for Thanksgiving, you may have seen a terrible picture of me wearing one of her aprons.

She’s just launched her site and is busy sewing her butt off, but check her out.  I’ve put a link in the ‘artists’ section of my sidebar, so you can always come back later when her inventory is full, but she does custom work, too!
