I'm hungry.
I want some pie (thanks alot you guys).
Can't wait for my new range oven so I can bake some cookies (my current one is on the fritz).
What really is the meaning of life....and....
where is the end of the universe, and is there really a restaurant there? <wink>
And finally, I need another beer. :p

Giant zit apparently does not know that it's not supposed to be on a face this old!
Crows feet and zits, WTH!?
I hear you ma sista. :mad: I got a zit a couple of weeks ago, I was standing in front of the bathroom sink looking at said zit...and I had a hot flash. :(Quote:

I put my Element in the body shop to have a dent repaired (some guy door'd it). I felt very thrifty--throwing my bike in there, driving to the body shop, then riding my bike home.
Now I get to drive the beater Civic down to Little Rock tomorrow and to the dentist today (both too far to bike).
I hope the guys at the body shop find the keys up in the overhead console. I prolly could have left them in the ignition in this small town, but I don't want to tempt fate.

Oh, BMC...I don't know how you stand that. We haven't broken 95, yet, thank goodness. But since there's no plaster in the upstairs bathroom (still!) the bathroom has become just another compartment in the attic. Despite closing the door, opening the window and running the exhaust fan, it is like having a blast furnace turned on up there, and takes almost all night too cool off my bedroom which is across the hall.
And we haven't broken 95, yet. Gahh!
Karen
I would love to see 95. This has been the hottest summer I can remember, I think 30+ days over 100. Forecast today: sunny and 100.:rolleyes: But I am heading to the mountains Saturday, high there has been about 72 the last week.Quote:

I love Seattle!
but i am still having hotflashes! and my face still breaks out regularly as well.
It will never end; this i know.
Same ole me...new name. :D
I went to Whole Paycheck thinking I'd get some supplies for the week for the office so I don't have to bring a lunch to work. A co-worker told me their 365 brand is competitive with "normal" grocery store brand.
Well, it's true. Wow. Milk a whole 50 cents cheaper than my "regular" grocery at home. So I loaded up on that and other stuff and ended up sweating my way back to the office.
Quick: a calculator -
Home: Milk is 3.99 - five miles from home (closest store) - sweaty 20 min uphill bikeride home.
Office: At wholefoods 3.49 - sweaty walkin' mile from office (32 from home... so it has to go home on the bus then bike pannier for 20 min uphill bikeride home...)
Was it worth it?
Math hurts. :(Quote:

New circuit board, new theromostat - a/c is working again. Nala the dog and the kitties are much happier. Their mom is estatic, until she got the bill. Isn't that what a savings account is for?
My new thermostat talks too. So long as it doesn't do wolf whistles as I streak from the bathroom to the bedroom, we'll get along just fine. :p
My thermostat doesn't talk, but it is programmable. That is a wonderful thing.
It was 104 here yesterday. But we've got a cold front coming in!!! Party!
I think we hit the mid 60's here in lovely Seattle today. And it was never bright enough to cast a shadow. I was ecstatic. More than 3 days of sunshine in a row and I get irritable.Quote:

Really? The A/C is still cranked to keep the house down to 74. :o And today was much cooler than yesterday - cool enough to race the time trial. Yay!Quote:

Glad you're like the cooler weather, KY. We don't want to see you get irritable or anything....

Yeah, and if I moved to the PNW, I'd need a sunlamp. If I go more than 3 days without sunshine I get seriously cranky.Quote:

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the repaired a/c is humming along, and the car battery died. Spent 3 hours last evening in the PepBoys waiting room. Here's my credit card... :eek:
Just when I get it under control, even treat myself to some cycling duds. It isn't fair!!!! :(
When my battery died I decided to play mechanic and change it out myself...the pair of pants I ruined cost more than a real mechanic would have. :(
The house is shaping up, finally!! I've been doing back breaking labor cleaning up the "nature trail" and about 20 trees and shrubs that are in the way of the new to-be-built garage. Soon I'll have a place to put the bikes (and scooters/kayaks/air compressor/car...). :D
How come the weathermen have said it would be thundershowers for like, seven days straight, and we hadn't had a one? And sorely need it?
Threats of thunderstorms make me not want to ride... so then, I don't ride, and get anxious about not riding, so then when I do decide to just go ahead and ride, I panic that I made the wrong decision and am going to get struck by lightening.
Beth- I am the same way, hate days of overcast yet long to move to the PNW??
They are cleaning the windows behind me (4th floor) it is kind of freaking me out to have someone outside my window. Well other than my pigeon I call Pat.
I just figured out what IIRC means. :rolleyes:
What's the story there???Quote:

I think they need to offer an Adult Ed class on internet acronyms and protocol, I can't tell you how much time I've spent staring at a screen scratching my head while trying to discern meaning from seemingly random letter groupings.Quote:

Ew - that is nasty! Sorry. Is it that big moto forum that starts with "A"? Haven't been there in a while...
Wow - sorry. That totally blows. Losers.
We went to a motorcycle shop last night and they had some amazing stuff (BMW clothes, etc.) Wow you can spend so much money on that stuff. I like my super cheap Joe Rocket jacket. It works. But wow, those are so pretty. Oh well.
Then we had to go get DH emergency new tires as he'd gotten tread separation on one going over the Richmond Bridge - in the car we just drove to Oregon - and he was lecturing ME about needing new tires!! :rolleyes:
At least there's a super British pub by the tire store. Mmm. Black and tan.
Mmmm black and tans!Quote:

If it's the one I'm thinking of, you haven't been around the related cycling site either I don't think. Does he hang out there too?Quote:

I am sure it's great. I can't afford to like anything that expensive right now. :oQuote:

I got my boots from the BMW shop... ON SALE, like 40% off :D They were about the same price as full-boat for a pair of comparable boots anywhere else.
I ride in cheap Joe Rocket (plus a Knox back protector) but I don't trust it. I seriously covet Rev'It! gear but I can't find anywhere to try it on :(
Free-One flu..Anyone want it? :rolleyes: :o
I just wanna bike/swim outside..
I'd do an easy spinervals dvd but don't know if i'd just end up feeling worse & hacking..
Take a few days off, relax, drink plenty of fluids, sleep. It'll be over before ya know!!! (I hope....)Quote:

At least I get to see my lovely cycling(ok he has a motorized bike for when he does house visits to old folks..) dr tomorrow..
I'm sure someone else in Perth would love my flu..Feel free to have it! :rolleyes:
I can't decide if the 38's or 39's in the SIDI's fit best.. Ian is getting annoyed with my shoe dilemma.. Umm there might be a size 38 in SIDI's for sale on our TE garage sale thing..Oh dear..
ARGHHG...hmmmm?
Hope you're feeling better cc.
I made raspberry jam! Mmmmm! (pickin' season is long over - but since we were out of town during the end of it, I just threw the berries in the freezer until I could get to them)
Now for pancakes... whenever we get a chance to eat a meal at home again...
