    What did you get for Christmas?

    I got a nice little point-and-shoot type digital camera, a paper cutter, and new pajamas.

    My mom got a new Toyota Scion. Goodness knows she deserves a new car!

    Santa loves me

    I got a photo from my very talented photog step daughter, fun t-shirts, work out gloves (for my new strength training program), See's candies, body butter, CDs and best of all... muscle supporting running tights that are supposed to reduce fatigue on my long training runs for IM, (from my DH).

    I cleaned up. Guess I was a good gril this year. Or maybe I was so bad, I was good.

    DH got me an Everlast 75 pound heavy bag! Yay!! I can kick and punch in my own basement as soon as we figure out where/how to hang it! and boots, a great necklace, a cute t-shirt, and a sleeman's glass he got for free for buying two sleeves of Honey Brown at the local pub. His sister gave us wine and an electric wine opener. Cool stuff!

    And tomorrow we'll start on the gift for each other. Tomorrow we start to prep the kitchen and dining room and go buy the paint! We've got a week off, we might as well get something great done, right??

    And it was nice that the family that showed up were gracious, enjoyed the meal, didn't do anything crazy confrontational, and they left by 8:00 pm! YAY!!

    We have turkey leftovers, we have turkey leftovers. happy dance!

    Hugs and butterflies to you all,

    The butterflies are within you.

    I posted mine goodies down in the triathlon site...my Dh rocks..I got a new Titus Racer X just 8 weeks ago, so I was expecting some little stocking stuffers. Instead he really hooked me up with some great gear.

    Two books on training and nutrition
    New cycling jerseys
    new Timex ironman watch
    CW-X running tights

    And the promise to go triathlon wetsuit shopping.

    The best part is the show of support. He is starting to make noises about having to get in the pool and train with me, we have an I jump, you jump approach to racing. If I do a triathlon, he is going to train and do it with me.

    Thanks Santa!!!

    I got a waterproof digital camera--nice compact size for taking along in a handlebar bag--a silver-and-gold charm for my charm bracelet, and a leather motorcycle jacket--a nice, eclectic assortment. It was a lovely Christmas day, with a two-hour bike ride, dinner with one group of friends, and games after dinner with another group.

    We are pretty low-key around my house...

    • My stepmom knitted a hat for me...
    • My sister gave me a pair of socks...
    • My mom gave me oranges, some goat cheese, and some REALLY good chocolate...
    • My father-in-law gave me two bluebird houses (that he made)...
    • DH gave me six truffles and some dark chocolate "bark" with almonds, a can of shaving cream, and a tube of toothpaste (he found those in the bathroom - needed some 'filler' to complete my stocking)!

    I got to be with my family - the best gift of all! BF gave me a new TREK saddle and tells me there is more to come once it arrives. Family gave me some gift cards so I could do some shopping, new fannel sheets for my new mattress, cycling gloves, books, etc. It was great to be with my parents, brothers and their families - I'm so blessed

    Around here it's an end-of-the-year celebration, but nevertheless:

    A new helmet (nice white/silver)
    New cycling knickers
    Topeak Alien multi-tool

    A custom painted red Raleigh mixte!
    Another red mixte, Centurion Sport DLX, somehow to be gotten up to Kent from Sacramento!

    Red is the colour of the season. But not for the knickers .

    I got a gorgeous "Vintage Handmade Bicycles" book and a POUND of hand dipped chocolate covered cherries from my darling DH, and some lovely scented soaps and candles and very fancy olive face moisterizer from my younger daughter. We had apple pie and ice cream for Xmas dinner.
    I had a WONDERFUL cozy quiet Xmas with my sweetheart. ...And to top it off we rode 30 miles Christmas Eve and 20 miles on Christmas Day!

    I can't show off the new bike(s) yet, the Raleigh mixte hasn't been painted yet! And the other one is still in Sacramento. Photos will follow when I can obtain them!

    "so what's wrong with red knickers?"

    I've seen that photo....
