WOW! You are so much stronger than I am. I would taken that tri bike in a heart beat... then again, I'm kind of broke and will have to go into debt to buy a new bike over $500!Quote:

But you know what, it's not the money... it's the fact that they LISTENED to you when you talked and remembered what you are interested in. :)
That is so sweet and cool!Quote:

Mimitabby...aren't you the sweetest thing. If 19 is a child bride...well...that would be me. My husband, aka Saint Jerry, was a mere 23.....we have one son who is 41 and who lives in San Mateo and hang glides. No grandchildren, never will be. This is a tad off topic...so I apologize to the group.
Best to all:
Maureen
You gals got the bestest gift ever :D , or at least Knot did. I don't know Knot well enough to know whether Trek did better at giving or receiving, but I guess I can trust her taste. 'Specially after seeing a couple of pictures this morning ;)Quote:

oh heck, Happy Chaka Khan TE :) :D :DQuote:

A hakama is traditional Japanese garment that in my case is worn over a gi when I do Aikido. Here's my teacher wearing one. Oooh, sorry, that's a little big. Oh well, it's my favorite pic of her.
Bcipam. we have a winner!!! You win the prize, you sure you're just friends??? :p :p Maybe he's trying to tell you something.
... what a great post! You brought tears to my eyes :o ... enjoy your new "kangaroo" wet suit and be sure to post lots of pictures of your events! The last one was very adorable :pQuote:

He spent all yesterday morning in the shop "assembling" something for me. Turns out it was a work bench with pegboard, to go with the bike stand, complete bike tool set, and the Craftsman screwdrivers and wrenches to go with it! :D
He gets it. :)
Wow!, Tuck-tuck-tuckie
That is so nice.
Also shows he is thinking about *you* and not "the wife" and buying a sterotypical/generic present.
Well my major gift was a new travel bike: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showt...t=12234&page=2
but Santa left me the grease gun and computer I'd been wanting for her.
Santa left DH an 06 atmos helmet (good sale!). The biggest surprise was the cool pod it came in. Santa also left DH a couple nice cycling jerseys and a HRM.
Of course the best gift of all was having my family together. I hadn't seen our daughter since she left for college in new england in august. She almost didn't make it home, air traffic/weather problems in chicago, but we managed to get her rerouted to Dallas and made the 9 hour drive to get her home.
Tuck, BCIPam - How wonderful you have such thoughtful people in your lives!
KSH - I don't think it's a matter of being strong, I see it as avoiding becoming something I despise. I grew up as the only poor kid in a VERY affluent area, so I always hated entitlement - people getting things they didn't earn for themselves. Plus, I'd feel foolish riding a $4000 bike in a community sprint tri! :p
Kit - Anytime you want to ride the SoCal beaches, my couch is yours (as long as you don't mind me tromping out of there 4am!)
Merry Everything and Happy Forever, everyone!
My boyfriend is cool... He got me a Saris Bones bike rack for the trunk of my car. I hope that it works well!! He's good to me. Buys stuff, but researchs it first. I'd hoped that he would get me that. He said I couldn't buy one myself a couple months ago, so I thought I probably would get it. But didn't want to get my hopes up too much. There could've been other items taht he'd have found. :D
I'm hoping for a gift card to a sports store or two yet... Christmas isn't over. There are gifts that I'm still anxious to hand out.
Merry Christmas to all!!!
