I'm not saying it was pretty.

LOL

MP - My usual daily starbucks is a grande coffee with 2 shots of espresso in it. Though as of late I still find myself yawning after that or within about 4 hours. They used to make me jumpy and I'd go all day then crash and burn around 5. I've obviously built up a tolerance. So I'm right there with you in the coffee addiction club. I even own a shirt with the caffeine molecule on it:

I highly recommend picking one up

Up at 6 am on Saturday again. What's up with that? My brain is in overdrive with all the work I have to do. I did get 2 pages of my dissertation written. So that whole process is officially started.

There's a town in Scotland called Paisley? So that's where all the hotel bed comforters come from!

My SO and I weaned ourselves off caffeine out here in AZ, it felt like taking medicine to have to drink coffee (just to avoid the headache) when it was already 90 degrees at dawn. Now that we're heading home to IL we've started having an occasional cup in the mornings...which is rapidly heading towards LOTS of cups in the morning!

Yep - Paisley pattern does indeed come from Paisley....but don't let that fool you into thinking its some quaint little heritage town....as I said, bandit country.

Morning TD...

My doctor called me at 8 last night to tell me my echo was basically good. I still have some issues but nowhere near as bad as when I was in the hospital. I have an appt. to talk to her next week - did not expect her to call at 8 pm on a Friday!

Fish I wish I could send you OJ.... Good luck spiffing the house!

See my sig line. I have a 5 shotter when I go out in the AM. Since that is over $5, we usually make it at home. I brew a pot of espresso (literally) for myself and steam soy on it. But I usually have only the one every day. I was off it for a couple of years with the childbearing/nursing business. I can stop whenever I want. Really.

Knotted I hope your bike gets there soon or you may explode.....

**KnottedYet** · 09-09-2006, 06:10 AM

I might explode anyway! Deb, that was dang near pornographic!

Is it a sign of maturity or obessession or just pathetic that I'd rather look at bike porn than people porn?

Mimi - your Bianchi page is very cool!

Mornin', all! It's finally raining here! YAY! I'm all happy now. When it lets up SKnot and I will go riding.

MP - your doc is peachy-keen to call you right away (even at night!) and tell you the echo was good. But I do kinda wonder if "marathon" equals "walking for exercise"...

I gotta go see if I can find the link again for the silver earrings with the caffeine molecules, and the other molecules.

I thought porn involved pictures.

.................................
just got back from a 10 mile training run. Thank God for Jamie, my running buddy. She's 25, I'm 46, and I can run farther than she can. We're doing the 1/2 marathon together 10/1, as we did last year. We do our weekend long runs together. I count on her to say, "Can we walk now?" when I'm just about dying! Together we go much farther than either of us would go alone.
.................................
Thanks to SadieKate gently chiding me for wearing a parachute-like shirt in the triathlon, I got a real tri top yesterday at my LRS (local running shop). I got an XL--really it's a size too big, but it's what I'm comfortable wearing. It's loose enough around the middle that I don't feel as self-conscious. And 20% off! So now I'm going out on the bike to try it out and double check our mileage. I never believe my pedometer. I always believe my bike odometer!

**KnottedYet** · 09-09-2006, 07:25 AM

Ok, maybe I should've said "dang near literary erotica".

(hee hee, you got Trek going, too! "The mind just goes there"

)

I neeeeeeeeeed to go for a bike ride!

**KnottedYet** · 09-09-2006, 07:32 AM

... and on the subject of literary erotica,

someone needs to write some with bikes involved. I remember when I worked in a library and we'd have chickies come through and check out 20 or 30 romance novels at a time. And I was thinking about how much I could change the world if I wrote romance novels with active adventure in them (like multiday bike rides) or educational bits (a little string theory, anyone?) or empowering subtext (you are woman! hear you roar!) or subversive political messages.

**Trek420** · 09-09-2006, 08:03 AM

DebW "I thought porn involved pictures. :confused"

oh no, not always but then the literary stuff I suppose would be more like erotica not porn but let's not go there shall we this is TE TD family forum but no, not always pictures.

I'm resting and carb loading for BATO tomorrow. Aack, knotted's answering questions ahead of me, I'll just shut up and drink coffee and eat breakfast.

Knotted I think you really need to write a series of Triathlete romance novels.

Someone once explained to me that those all have the same plot which is "girl gets house"

Yours would be "grrl gets bike"

Happiness is: Coming back from the 10 mile ride after the 10 mile run and remembering that there's SUSHI in the frig for lunch!

Happiness is also feeling strong and happy about training again, after two weeks of exhaustion and ennui post-triathlon.

**maillotpois** · 09-09-2006, 04:43 PM

Oh Fish!! I am SO sorry about you dog. How terrible. It is so sad when they get sick and they can't tell you what's wrong and you can't tell them you're doing everything you can to help them.

I hope the FishJrs hang in there. What a crazy time for you all - the worst time for this added stress, that's for sure. Sad. Sad.
