Lise - I love Paris in the Springtime...... just a thought.... So glad it is working out well. Sigh!!

CWR - were you asking about Carboom the energy gel stuff? I used that a lot before I discovered banana Hammer gel. I really like them. Not super icky give you a huge rush sweet. More a steady sort of energy. They have an apple cinnamon sort of one that's good. And a peachy banana. All fairly natural, too. If you were talking about something more interesting than gels, ignore me...

I like Carb Boom Vanilla Orange.

Didn't Power Gel used to make Key Lime? I liked that. I think they stopped.

Gu Triberry, Orange and Banana

My favorite gel is Cranksports eGel Mountain Rush.

Second favorite is EnergIce Grape and Blue Raspberry. You freeze it!!

But lately, all I eat is Sport Beans...

Good Afternoon Ladies!

CWR- I did indeed try one of the Carb Boom gels. The Cinnamon Apple to be exact. Yum!

Knot-I absolutely adore Child's pose. I could fall asleep in that position. After every run, my final cool down is 30 minutes of yoga. Ah, Bliss.

Lise-J sounds like a wonderful man and he is willing to attend a family holiday. WOW! I hope you both are able to find time to got of Paris. Personally, I loved Finland in January. Very nice, very romantic.

Xrayted- I am very glad you did not drown. Sorry to hear the cookie was not as fortunate. Ah Christmas cards. I like the idea of using your passport photo. I wonder if I could send one of my MRI photos...

Mimi- I do so hope your day is better than yesterday. The bra is great. For under $30 free shipping and free return if you dislike it, I say give it a try. I do not like bras either, but this one did not feel as though I was wearing anything. Oh a word on this one. I bought white. Do not wear it by itself if you sweat. When wet, it is very see through.

Nanci- Poor Choco, thinking you were going to eat him. He must have been terrified. You need to talk with him and explain how adorable he is. Has Fagalo ever spent the winter outside? Sounds like a lot of work and trial and error? I have no idea, but I wish you both the best and keep us updated. I am finding a new appreciation for different species by reading your posts.

I think that is everything for now. I am planning to read today. I was going to finish knitting my sweater, but I am in the mood to read. I have exercised, showered, the laundry is almost done, and the house looks as good as it is going to get. I refuse to go into the rooms my children inhabit. They will be cleaning those this weekend. Hopefully the rain will taper off for my run this evening.

Hey BMo3
I bought red, which is back ordered. I would never order white, and i'll tell you why. recently i was on a ride and had to take off my under layer because i was so hot. if i was wearing a white bra, i would not have had the nerve to strip down to it in public. instead i had my red and black straightjacket bra on so i felt quite sporty and stripped without feeling nekkid at all.

With feral cats, one must learn to interact with them so they don't feel like you're trying to eat them. When they finally start acting like kittens around you, it is a great day indeed. (and mine are finally doing that)

I haven't eaten a lot of those flavored things. DH buys all sorts of stuff for his 100 mile rides. He's going to AZ to do a 100 km ride with some folks he met on Bike Journal.

I am having a better day. A little sleep goes A LONG way.

[mimitabby]

wah. no red bra for me. They cancelled the order. I can get black or white.
sigh...

lise - awe how sweet. sounds like a winner. hopefully you can get a little vacation in somewhere, you earned it.

BMof3 - glad that gel worked out.

x - sorry to hear of the sad fate of the cookie. how horrible indeed. (don't worry i'm a cheap date too!)


there was enough snow on the ground to do donuts and figure 8s in the parking lot with the quad. i came in work to my boss laughing at me and everyone else that came in saying "gee, i wonder who could've done that". this is the time of year that BF and i fight over who gets to take the quad to work.

I'm falling asleep, too.

gonna go put on my jammies (wooly socks, long underwear, sweats, turtleneck, sweater, fuzzy hat )

ARGH just like DGF. Long knee socks, flannel pants, t-shirt, sweatshirt, two comforters (one down, one just fill) and flannel sheets. I wear minimals and she complains *I* am "too warm to sleep near" ... um...

I have to say, it must have been the 1/2 glass of wine that caused the cookie mishap. Normally, you couldn't pry one out of my grip. (I actually am that cheap... **shakes head in disgust**)

Well, hot tubs greatly increase the effects of alcohol consumption... so you're not *that* cheap...
(I say this to make myself feel better... cheap, cheap date here...)

[margo49]

*I* am "too warm to sleep near" ... um...

More proof that Kitsune has fallen thru a hole in the fabric of the space/time continuum.
Think of the physics - the heat generated by the friction of a "mass" falling thru such a stellar phenomenon . Then multiply by the Kitsune factor (named after guess who?) squared (because it is not just a "mass" but no less than Kitsune *herself*)
I rest my case...

[Trek420]

Kitsune06 picturing you Groucho Marx-like with the see-gar "well if you'd take off the Long knee socks, flannel pants, t-shirt, sweatshirt, two comforters (one down, one just fill) and flannel sheets...."

We normaly don't get calls from employees here but my friend J called, got another rep, told her to say hi to me so V messaged me that J was on the line

J & I worked together in collections when I first came to the company then she followed me here (we joked about her being "my puppy" following me around to different departments)

she is the most amazing funny witty wise gal!! you would love her. She is a hoot.

then she left and worked for CTAP

and we lost track of each other....

then she came back to SBC but I did not kinow she was back so we still lost track ....

My first Bike Against the Odds was in a co. newsletter so that was 3 years ago...

and I'm just sitting at work and up pops an e-mail from the long lost Jeri!!!!

only it was bad news.

I found out that she then had stage 4 breast cancer
so here I was at work kinda bawling my eyes out for my friend....

that was i think years ago .

we got together for lunch then, she looked great (just no hair) and she said not to be sad for her, she'd had a good life, great kids, and a great GF if she wins this fight that's gravy and if not don't be sad for her....

I've done more rides since then I never forgot about her

but J never returns e-mail, she never writes she's always been bad about that so I literaly did not know if she's alive ... or not....I send e-mails to her she doesn't respond that's just her.

till today!! she called, sounded good, we didn't talk about how she is I'll try to call, just know that she's alive...

[mimitabby]

Sad story, Trek. I am glad she resurfaced though. we went through the same thing when my stepfather's sister wrote from Poland that she had incurable cancer. We all rememberd her from her recent visit, so much alive, witty, rosy cheeked... Then this letter comes and we all know she's never coming back here. It's very very hard.

hey, here in Seattle we have some NASTY weather. Lots of clouds, sharp winds... the summer feeling is Gone gone gone. Is it going to rain?
