a domani, mimi!
you mean, at work domani? yup. you'll see me then.
Well, I guess I could add a pic of my S.O. and I. It won't be up long either, due to privacy issues. I'll leave the others there, I guess. Just a few of my non-biking loves, past and present. Enjoy.
X- I loved seeing you, Offthegrid, and Allezgirl. All three of you look so happy and all three of you are lovely. I adore the last pic. ;)
As for alcohol, another reason to come to Ohio. It is in the grocery stores.
Exactly. I cannot afford to have out of town guests, feed them, etc., and buy a new garage door. So, it will be the five of us, we will still be thankful.Quote:

Awesome pics! I hope you leave them up. What sort of puppy is that? Puppies name? I am being drawn to puppies (shhh, my cat cannot hear that).Quote:

I'm just so glad he has a nice bike at last to at least be working on in the meantime. He's been waiting patiently for 5 months while I've been sashaying about on my high falutin' Rambouillet all this time. :o He shouldn't have to suffer so long. I'll write more later, but gotta get some sleep....Quote:

Jennifer, we will be having 5 for thanksgiving too. Just me and DH, my younger daughter and her DGF/partner, and DH's son. I am expected to make my traditional big 2 roast chickens & fixin's extravaganza. (it's what they ask for)
We'll eat for 3 days, go for walks, watch videos, play board games in front of the fireplace. Who could want for more?? :) (except it's a shame older daughter and HER DGF/partner couldn't make it too.) (I feel like I have many daughters!)
OK this time i really HAVE to go to bed! :cool:
Lisa-your Thanksgiving sounds as though it will be a lovely one. Sleep well.
That is my Siberian Husky, Cheyenne when she was a wee thing. She's been gone for 3 years now but I still miss her so much. I think I'm finally ready to have another one adopt me. I haven't gone down to the Humane Society yet. I know that if I walk in there, I'll be walking out with a dog. Period. That's not so good right now. (S.O. isn't so keen on the idea of a dog.) I've never been without one in my life for very long and I miss that connection. J. just doesn't get it tho. I'll keep pestering until it happens. (I'm good at pestering. :rolleyes: )Quote:

I am so very sorry to hear about Cheyennne.
For Thanksgiving I am going to be at work from 6-2, then we are going to our neighbors for dinner.
I miss having my own turkey, though.
Nanci
hey BM03...did that package arrive yet?
I want to share some depressing but interesting information. Last night on SBS there was the second part of four of the documentary "The Age of Aids". I had to shake my head when they talked about Ryan Whyte and all the other kids that were shunned, the early days of ACT UP and the quilt. I am not sure why exactly i'm telling you this information but I had to tell someone. I remember those early days, watching the news & wondering. It's good to know progress has been made.
I know this is a biking board....but thanks for listening.

Not yet did. Did yours arrive?Quote:

X, thanks for posting the photos! But don't you be stealing MY boyfriend. ;)
It was a great ride. I gotta practice riding more on the brake hoods, though -- my thumbs be hurting.
AG, thanks for inviting us! Dinner was excellent and your son very well-behaved. We must do it again sometime.
And I will put together a velodrome outing for TE gals in the spring.
gettin' up early to get ready to bike in to work. Tomorrow, I'm sure I won't be up a minute before I have to be, but.... that's tomorrow. :D Gonna hate myself for this this afternoon, but when I'm all excited about something, anything, it's impossible to make myself sleep.
Frankly surprised it's not raining. It's a balmy, overcast 47 right now. gonna wear the fuzzy under-jacket.
Take care TD!

Since you missed them, I'll post the Legolas pic we took last night again, just to put a wrinkle in your panties. (nice grab, huh? I wish I had time to watch Lord of the Rings today. Oooh, baby!) Here's the one with J. too. (he's not a triathlete, he's a try-to-swallow-a-whole-beer-keg-at-one-shot guy.) Here ya go, better catch 'em before they come back off!! There's a bonus of me and my other BF. We've been dating steady since I first met him when I was 2. Cute isn't he? I've voted for him in so many elections, but sadly he never wins. :D
Hope this helps you have fun at work today. :D :cool: :D
X.
Edit: ok, those 2 pics are gone for good. cya OTG!
Have a good ride, Kit.Quote:

OTG - Eh, I think I can take her. ;) One short jab kick placed just right on the outside of her ankle and she's down for the count. Then he's mine, all mine! :D (What can I say, those shoes just turn me on.)
Kit - emailed ya. Have fun on the commute today. Be safe little sister and look both ways before crossing at the intersections. No wheelies either young lady! :p
See ya TD. Have a fantastic day.
X.
Oh, can't forget this...
(((((CWR)))))
Now I'm outta here. ;)
X, how can you leave? We're at a historic moment on TD -- 499 pages! C'mon, everyone, post away! :D
I am at work which is very very boring and dull. More than you can imagine.
well maybe you can.
It's interesting, i've met 3 new people in the last week, one won a titanium bike in a race (that would be Eden) one rode the Paris Brest Paris ride, and the other (married to Eden) spent an hour in the basement before we got there, where he was riding his bike on a trainer.
How better to stay involved with biking than to continue to meet other people with the same passion?
and when your passion is flagging (i haven't ridden since before i went to Italy unless you count the 1 mile on the shop bike) it's good to talk about it, to keep interest alive.
and buying stuff for the bike raises the guilt level, so you end up riding just s
to validate purchases. Everything works..
I hear you Mimi, I was going through bike withdrawal yesterday and feeling guilty cuz I had some fries for supper, so I rode my trainer with my jeans on for 30 minutes while watching tv. It's all good!
Work will wiz by this week - which is good. I finally made progress on organizing around the house last night and I feel - relieved, less cluttered when I walk into the house now. I need to drop some boxes of stuff off at Good Will. And now I have a box of rags for my bikes (old tshirts). Fun, fun, stuff:p
I volunteered to help chair our community Tgiving meal. So I'll be there in the morning, but we are very fortunate to have 40 families sign up to help with it! Because of that, I think we'll sneak out early so I can head over to my folks and have lunch with them. My mom was very disappointed to hear we wouldn't be there so she would love to have us there.
now that is very cool! I hope your mother at least appreciates what you are doing.Quote:

We should do that again. THis year we are driving to the boonies to spend time with one of his cousins.. and MY mother will not have family for thanksgiving this year thanks to the bs with my sister.
This just proves she *looks* 22(ish) with the emphasis on the "ish"Quote:

She is actually very like me except I have hazel eyes (like Capt James T Kirk in Star Trek TOS)
hehehe. I know how old Kit really is. Visa and MC are accepted through Pay Pal. :D ;) :D
Nanci, sorry you have to work on Thanksgiving. Believe me, I know how that feels and it stinks.
This is actually the first Thanksgiving and Christmas I'm going to have off since college. I even have Black Friday off -- my first four-day weekend as an employee.
I'm trying to figure out what to do with myself because I don't particularly want/need to go shopping, but I don't want to just stay at home, either. Maybe my bike will finally visit the shop for some different parts. Maybe.
OTG-I think spending the holiday bike part/accessory shopping would be fun! :)
Does anyone know if Under Armour ever goes on sale? I have 5 people addicted to UA and since I am Christmas shopping I was hoping to find a sale.
While on the topic-any idea for stocking stuffers for my guys?
Bets on when the garage door people will actually ring back?
Under Armour? is that like deodorant?
as for stocking stuffers for your guys, I still buy my sons toys if i find cool ones.
they're grown up but they're still boys.
LOL. No, it is not like deoderant. UA is wonderfully comfortable clothing for working out in or just lying around the house. :) http://www.underarmour.com/ShopUSAHome.cfm
The medical ID I ordered, thanks to MP bugging me (you really did not bug me, rather reminded me nicely :) ) arrved today. I had no idea it would look so dainty. It is pretty. :) Now the sport one looks just like I thought it would. :cool: Now wherever I go, I am covered.
On top of new jewelry, a SmartWool top I bought from Lise arrived today. It is a gorgeous Cayenne colour, size medium, and no back fat shows. YAY! I am a happy girl. :D
Now if the garage door people would just call, my day would be complete. :rolleyes:
I hate my job.
I wanna work at REI and get paid just as much as I get now. (though I'm considered "low income" by the City of Seattle charts, so maybe I should wish for MORE money than I'm getting now) I wanna go back to school. I wanna buy a house. I want a fabulous career that isn't gonna trash my body and my hands.
And I want it all NOW.
Today I am not a happy little worker bee. I'm stingin' mad. I want out of this job. (though i do love the work, just hate the job today.)
And this little bee wants her honey... :(
Being bored at work today, I googled my name and found (among 10 pages of hits) the following article from MIT's "The Tech" newspaper of November 14, 1975. I'd almost forgotten that I can claim to have won a bike race, even if it was only college intramurals. And the only reason our team won was that all the good cyclist were riding as individuals that year (may have been the first year of the race). We were the only team that rode as a group (we actually had 4 riders as a friend of mine rode with us throughout). It was pretty funny to hear the jocks on campus acting incredulous that my frat, Epsilon Theta, could have won the race, because we were not known as a jock house. But at the time, cycling was kind of an anti-jock sport. The name of the individual winner of that race, Gary Klein, should be familiar to many of you (see http://www.kleinbikes.com/ ). The only thing I remember about Klein was that you didn't lean your bike against his Colnago.
PAGE 8 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1975 THE TECH
Tuesday afternoon, Epsilon Theta edged Baker House by just eight seconds to win the IM Cycling meet. ET's team of Paul M '78, Terry M '77, and Debra W '78 combined for a 4:50:37 time (taken by adding the times of the three Cyclists), finishing 14th, 15th, and 16th, respectively. The Baker entry of Rich K '77 (1 :32:10), Jesse A '77 (1:35:55), and Tom G '76 (1:42:40) came up just short, with a total time of 4:50:45. Student House placed third in the living group championship with a time of 5:03:35, with DTD a fourth in 5:10:57. Gary Klein won the individual championship, completing the eleven-mile Cambridge-to-Wellesley course in 1:22:35.
[eleven miles has to be wrong - probaby an OCR error converting the old print article]
I'm trying not to thing about tomorrow's colonoscopy. But it will be over by noon.
you're good, Deb, you managed to get that at the top of page 500!
It's a the bottom of page 250 for me because I set my prefs to 30 posts per page. Saves on paging time lags.Quote:
