mimi - think poop attack.....

huh. never heard it put quite like that.
THAT would be a date to remember.

Made me remember a blind date i went on. I even remember the guys' name. GENE. My horse had fallen on me a couple days before, so I was very very sore (bruised knee). He took me to the rodeo. After 1/2 hour or so, he decided to get himself a drink. I asked if he would bring me something.. He told me to get it myself. I hobbled down the bleachers, and found someone to give me a ride home. that was the last blind date I've even been on.. I ruined his evening. hahahaha

[KnottedYet]

Off to hike for an hour. Up hill both ways to the car shop to retrieve my Subaru. $230. Dang, that'd buy some goodies for the Waterford! I hate this walk, because the sidewalk disappears RIGHT when you need it most!

Bill at wallingford wrote me back about my B67. I might just be too lopsided for springs. So I gotta decide, keep it another month just in case it clears up, trade for a B17S, or trade for a B72.

I will stick with Brooks.

[mimitabby]

Knotted maybe you should try another saddle with springs? (like mine on saturday) just to see??

[Kitsune06]

Ugh. Shart-attack.

So I'm feeling flat spaces in my Brooks where it's breaking in but it's almost an inch from either edge of the saddle. Maybe my measurements were wrong and I don't need the S.

Lise... Things will happen when they're meant to... it just means taking some risks and letting it play out. I met my GF at a concert... we never said a word to one another, I just danced with her and things fell into place.

...oddly... but they fell into place. Nothing is easy, but things happen when they're meant to, I think. I'll send you and Trek my luck, because I don't need it anymore. =)

Yay for Fish. Now Roux needs to get better....

Lise - no riding for 4 more months. The bike fit was just to make sure my new bike fits right (make sure we order the right specs) and adjust my existing bike. Well, one of them, at least! Anyway, it was amazing - the guy was the head trainer for Serotta's fit department, and I spent 2 1/2 hours there. I felt a little lame saying, No I really don't have any nagging pain when I ride aside from some mild low back pain. So I didn't expect him to do much to my bike. Turned out my seat was way high and back, and when it was all said and done, my hip flexors are opened up, my hamstrings working right. He even moved my cleats and changed out my stem. Incredible. I didn't even tell him I had been having breathing problems, but he said that with my position the way it was, I was bending my back at the waist instead of the hips and that opens up my chest in an amazing way. I can't wait to put the bike on the trainer and ride! (Wish I could go outside... )

That WI dude is a puzzler. Sorry. I have to say I know probably 3 - 4 people who've found wonderful matches on Match. I think luck and timing are key. Hang in there.

Nanci - OMG what a bunch of LOSERS!!! Especially the poopy one!

[maillotpois]

So after my bike fit, I come home to find a package of something I'd ordered and been waiting for had been delivered. Yay!

Then... the mail comes and here's Salsa's great book which I now get to take and read on my trip! (Remember the book we were going to pass amongst ourselves at TD?) Yay! Very excited. She also gave us a geode she found on a hike, which is really beautiful, and my daughter the total rock hound was so excited to see it. It's on the "fragile" shelf now next to the other cool rocks and shells we've collected.

Thanks Salsa!!!

So who gets the book when I am done with it....

[mimitabby]

which book is it?

[Nanci]

My little sweetheart ate his first frozen-thawed pinkie for me tonight! I put him in a feeding container (disposeable tupperware-like thing with holes punched in it- he has to eat in there, not in his viv, so he doesn't accidentally eat substrate) and he was eating within five minutes!! What a perfect baby!

[Lise]

Nanci, you've induced a feeling of affection for snakes that I've never before experienced. That Choco is one little sweetie pie!

[mimitabby]

Am I correct that the "pinky" was a frozen dead mouse?

ahem...

I didn't get to ride today and won't get to ride tomorrow. I feel my muscles seizing up!!

[Lise]

Am I correct that the "pinky" was a frozen dead mouse?

Not only that, but I thought it was cute! That Nanci is one powerful persuader!

Don't think of it as muscles seizing up, but ... um ... recovery! Muscles get stronger during recovery!

[DrBee]

Good golly Nanci - those were some wacky dates! Super good to hear Choco is eating already! That's a great sign!

Lise - I keep telling you - the right one is out there for you somewhere. He might be on Match or he might not. However - you will find each other eventually! Patience is key.

Lise - the dixie chicks reference is not about the band, but is a less than complementary remark about a select group of women in my town that are desperately fighting aging with big hair and little clothes.

MP - I'm looking forward to the trainer report. Keep up those good thoughts for Roux. He seems to have plateau'd a bit. We'll see what the doc says tomorrow (hopefully).

We've signed the contract! Whew! Major relief! Next step - find a house to buy! I'll post pics when I get them.

I'll take the book. You know - I have nothing else to do, right? It might be a good distraction. At least I don't have to pack anything!

Last Days of Summer by Steve Kluger

Okay, you get the book next. It will be a couple weeks before I'm done, since we'll be on our trip. Just email me an address to send it to - but maybe you should wait til I am for sure done. I wouldn't want to mail it to the wrong state...
