Ode to my bike...

[Running Mommy]

Oh how I long to ride my bike
how I long to be set free
pedaling away on my bike is where I want to be
the hot desert sun on my skin
the smell of the mesquite trees
oh how I long to ride my bike
how I long to be set free....

But alas work has brought me to Las Vegas, not at ALL where I want to be
15 hour days, strapped to a desk, longing to be free
when pedaling away on my bike is where I want to be
the constant phone calls from builders screaming at me
riding my bike at this point is only a dream to me
Why can't we find better workers?
Maybe it's the smoky air?
All I know is I want to feel the wind blowing through my hair.
Maybe some day they'll figure it out
maybe they'll get a clue
but in the meantime I'm stuck in this place dealing with the doo doo...
Oh how I long to ride my bike
how I long to be set free
pedaling away on my bike is where I want to be!!

At this rate... you might french kiss your bike before your hubby when you make it home! :D

Sorry for your predicament, running mommy! :eek:
That work stuff, I'm telling you....
I wish I'd been born rich instead of so good looking.....:D

What's going on, RM? When do you get home?

[Nanci]

I spent some time in Las Vegas when I was pregnant, and right after. First place I ever saw a roach in a motel. Last, too, until Florida. Scum Town. But with good buffets!!

Oh, RM, I'm shedding giant bicyle tears for you. :( I know you love your bike (and who wouldn't- she's a beauty), and hopefully soon you'll get to ride her like the wind. Until then, chin up. She's waiting eagerly for you....:D

[Running Mommy]

Thanks guys!!
If you only knew the depth of my despair! I just want to go HOME!!
I'm hoping to get out of this rat hole tonight. I told my husband that I was done with this place!! The head office girl hates me for some reason so everytime I ask for paperwork I get MASSIVE attitude from her. And when your working 15 hour days to try to HELP them??!! :mad:
I've HAD it!!!
Anyhoo... there is hope... I think...:confused:

What are you doing there? Do you need us to come rescue you? (Envisions TE rescue squad swooping in, at various speeds, of course, towing your gorgeous bike in a trailer...) Hope you get out and get home soon. :) L.
