BO3, I am glad you have a diagnosis, but sorry that's what it is. And very glad that you can keep biking. More chocolate. Definitely.

KN, I'll post the lone vote for Wildebeest. I also like Margarita, but think it would look cuter over slender hips and belly than my own curves!

I've decided to just stop buying stuff, as much as I can. I sat down and got a solid grip on my finances last Friday. I *can* get out of the debt with which I left my marriage, if I knuckle down. I do, however, also want to get a trainer for the bike so I can ride indoors this winter. My LBS is getting in (I think) CycleOps trainers (if that sounds right), which cost $330. So now I'm thinging, for example, "Hmmm, a new skort, only $35...or....1/10th of a trainer!" Then I imagine the figure I calculated I need to pay off this year, and the skort or theraputic trip to Target or whatever sounds so much less appealing. I'm keeping an eye on Steep & Cheap for a Christmas gift for my brother. I'm kicking myself for not getting him the SmartWool zip T-neck the other day. I had the idea the day after, by which time they were selling snowboards again, of course!
