It's my birthday Saturday. I'll be 48! That's the same as 50. I wish we could do something fun. I miss my family. BF has been back since last Thursday. There's a Century, the Horrible Hundred, Sunday. I don't know if I want to go or not.

I switched from Grey's Anatomy last night to the first season of Jackass. I would like to try alligator wrestling. I think I would be good at it.

Hello,

It's time to get up kids. Rise N Shine.

I hope you ladies have a good day. If you're commuting to work by bike may you have a safe ride.


Off to bed soon.

Lise, if she doesn't eat, if she loses "too much" weight, I let her go. I'd rather have a snake that eats reliably than have PR as a BF.

Oh, girl, you crack me up! I guffawed out loud (GOL?) at that one! You must watch What It Takes. There's this section showing how PR gets down to racing weight (which is 15# more than I weigh, and he's 7" taller than me! ). He eats almost nothing. He shops for every meal, so there's no food left in the house. He goes to bed so hungry he has a headache. I sat there talking to the TV, saying, "Eat Peter! Eat!" Poor guy. I hope he's enjoying retirement and eating on a regular basis. I hope Addy decides to be a happy pampered snake and eat the good food you're offering.

I'm sorry this is a tough week. I hope the BF does something fun with you. I think you'd be great at alligator wrestling, because, so far as I can tell, you're great at every crazy, impossible thing you try! I am most definitely in the Nanci fan club. As a midwife, I can picture what it was like for your mom 48 years ago today, wondering when her baby would finally come. I'm glad you were born nearly 48 years ago. (((Nanci))) L.

It's my birthday Saturday. I'll be 48! That's the same as 50.

Oh, Nanci, Nanci, Nanci...I'm emerging from lurkdom long enough to let you know that 48 is in no way the same as 50! Trust me on this.

Every year you get a little achier, a little fatter, a little grayer. I'd guess that at least 50% of my time with my friends is spent b!tching about how much it sucks to get old--not intentionally, but that's just where our conversations gravitate these days. Enjoy your 40's, and have a great birthday.

I hate to post and run, but just wanted to share this. My trainer asked me if I had thought about racing at our velodrome -- pretty nice compliment. It's not in the cards for next year, though.

Yes, there is a discussion somewhere (helpful I am not), about keeping ears warm while biking and the majority recommended Buffs. So many to choose from.

I am drawn to Scully, I have no idea why. If it was a painting, it would match my living room.

WHAT is Scully? is it purple or orange?

[mimitabby]

Gosh, 48 is so NOT 50. when you are 48 you can still pretend to be 'middle aged' at 50 the only way you can be young is to work at it.

48 is when you still can get away with A LOT... at 50 you had better get your act together or you are going to be OLD fast. Too many of my family and friends have let it happen. It really breaks my heart when my little sister says she moves slowly all the time now because she hurts. she got old and i didn't.

Salsa, all that talk about your house construction and your cats has really scared me. Do your cats normally go out? or do they cower in a closet while your roof is being torn off? I had been thinking about adding on to my house
but now we are both wondering if it is worth all the pain and suffering and hassles.

Knot, welcome to storm central. Even at the lazy B we had power outages last week while i was in Sunny Italy.

Chick, don't forget to buy fruits and vegetables before you go back to the cold, dark north.

X, yes do come to Seattle, you have at least 2 places to stay. we're a non-smoking drinking house with cats..

right now I am really unhappy because my son's girlfriend got an edict from her doctor to not come to my house because of those cats. That of course means my son doesn't come over either. He was even instructed to change clothes when he gets home (they live together) if he's been at MY house. I know it isn't personal but it sure FEELS personal.

Offthegrid, how cool is that that people think you are better than you think yourself!!
i say go for it.!

[chickwhorips]

X when you get the jersey let me know how it fits. i've wanted it for a LONG time. btw ((((((X))))))

kit have a good second day at work ((((((kit))))))

nanci how is 48 50? i thought 48 was the new 38?

lise you make me feel a lot more sane. i always yell at movies too. now if they only would listen to us.

welcome home knot. can't wait to see the pictures!

have a good day everyone. (((((((everyone)))))) i'm just full of hugs today. anyone need a second one?

[chickwhorips]

(CWR - love your tag line - expecially the "oohra!" at the end!)

thanks. i figured it went well with rosie. but typing OOHRA! you don't get the same effect as saying it, but the thought and feeling is there you just have to remember to say it from your gut.

[mtbdarby]

BMo3 - you used to live in USSR? Please tell me more - PM me if you want.

Nanci - I could see you as an alligatore wrestler Ain't no mountain high enough woman! And I would never have guessed your age! Isn't that a neat thing about internet friends? We get to learn and love people for who they are - not for their age, looks, scars, voices, etc. Just one of the many things I love about this forum.....

Kelown - are you feeling better Hon?

X - glad the thumb is getting better. And to hear your friend is out of the hospital. Can you sing me a bedtime story tonight?

Snap - glad the concert was awesome! Sleep well and catch us up with your adventure.

Knot & CWR - safe travels home girls.

All this massage talk lately. I sure could use one...my back and legs HURT today.

I'm gonna write down a list of things I want to do before I die today and start doing them. I need to get out of my rut...

A couple pictures:

Flossie and Menace in all their lugged and Campy glory, riding the roof-rack to the start of the bike ride. Being tall has it's uses, Trek didn't need to use her step-stool to get the bikes up there! (Knot flexes her puny, but long, arms) Note the GG bridge in the background.


Trek on the Golden Gate bridge. The views were incredible! We saw a seal swimming along on the surface of the water, and lots of sailboats.


Flossie on the bridge. Awwww...


This bird was just standing along a path in Crissy (sp?) field where we walked the bikes. There were pelicans and other birds, too, but this dude was fearless. I think he was drawn by the shiney lavender and shiney gold bikes.

[CyclChyk]

X -McD's was in my younger <gulp> days.... now all I can tolerate is the crilled chx on wheat, plain. Its actually pretty good. And I'm still not falling for the masage thing.... maybe I'm jsut a big puss but they always hurt......

CWR - TOTALLY agree that OOHRA's gotta come from the gut. Means something completely different otherwise.

KNOT - welcome home! Pics Pics! (can you tell I never go out of town)

NANCI - Happy early B-day chickie!!! (And age is just a number... at least thats what I keep telling myself )

KIT - how's the new job? Are you working with cool peeps or is everyone still in dork status?

KEL - hope ya feel better soon. Being sick just plain sucks.

BOM - how have you been feeling? Better I hope. Any news?

MIMI - you want me to set your son straight? (I'll sic X on him!) People with allergies are around cats all the time.... medicine is pretty amazing that way....
