Thank you for the well wishes. I am medicated, but alas cannot sleep. No one is on MSN to play with and it is fairly quiet here.

CC-I will be around tomorrow.

i tried to add you BM3. not sure if it worked, but if it did i'm online.

Well, I did it. I rode INDOORS

My husband went out IN THE DARK to try out his new Selle Anatomica. I rode
6 miles on the trainer and came back upstairs, and he's still gone. Crazyman.
Now I guess I will get dinner going.

MY new smartwool sweater has NOT arrived.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! (Well not to CC. Do you have TG at all down there Crazy? I'll be around here this weekend. Reports are done and it's supposed to snow so I won't be able to bike - 39 lousy km in November so far - aaack!! Guess it's time to start riding the exercise bike in the basement...)

Knot - where are you going in Canada? Vancouver? And I loved your question. Emailed it to both daughters. Kind of reminded of Ann Landers favourite - Are you better off with him or without him?

OTG - good luck with the eating this weekend but don't be too hard on yourself if it's a challenge. You can always start over again on Monday. I don't even bother to try at times like that - life is meant to be enjoyed and eating healthfully MOST of the time is still a good thing. 3 hours spinning?! Can't even imagine it.

What is Black Friday anyway?

BM3 - Sorry you're feeling so bad. What's up? Is it your "regular" stuff or something new or a bug?

CWR - CUTE puppy! I am such a sucker for baby animals. I have two big dogs but I'm sure I'd get another if someone brought me a puppy.

They don't do Canada on Zillow. Is it a new site? Maybe we'll be on it eventually...

CC - my step-daughter just got accepted to grad law school in Australia. (She's been teaching English in Taiwan for the past 2 years.) She's going to James Cook University in Cairns. I have no idea where that is - guess I'd better go look on a map.

What is Black Friday anyway?
.

99% of the folks in the states have the Friday after Thanksgiving off. Most stores will sales and open their doors at 6AM. The parking lots for malls are usually jam packed not good, unless you shop for gifts in-line
(((BMo3))) hope you get better
OTG - Like, I said sometime, you need to have food holiday, Take the long view. Just remind yourself that If you drop it too fast, it's more likely to come back
I actually got of work before the sun went down!

Clipless?

yes, ma'am.

not scary at all ... indoors... hehehehe


and good news: at 6:45pm my new smartwool undershirt/sweater came.
I cannot believe it is wool! it feels like COTTON!! and it's warm too.

[kelownagirl]

Mimi- so how did it feel clipping in and out? Do you like them? When are you going to try them for real?

[salsabike]

yes, ma'am.

not scary at all ... indoors... hehehehe

GO MEEM!

Hey KG..Cairns is in Northern Queensland..east coast...It's HOT & HUMID i believe. It's a lonnnnnnnng drive from Brisbane. There's a girl from townsville on the mtn bike section, she's close to Cairns. Let your step daughter know that if she plans on driving in australia, expect the same distances as in Cancuckland...

Nope no thanksgiving..we have " Queens Birthday" holiday...HOwever...The Canadian Club does hold a Canadian thanksgiving here for us canucks every year..

AHHHH..beoooooteful day here..except i'm going to cycle into a hot & warm sou west headwind on my way home. NOthing like it i say ..One day i'll stop & take some photos..

BM-any package? I'm sure the vegemite & tim tams will make you feel better. Are you doing ok? I'll add you to my msn list.

have a good afternoon

Thanks CC! I took a look online and see it's about as far away from you as you can get! We're just glad she's ending up in Australia because she had also applied to go to school in South Africa and that sounded a bit scary. Looks like a beautiful area, very touristy. I don't know how she's planning to get around. She has a small motorbike in Tai Pei. She doesn't ride like her dad and I. Kids...

Mimi- so how did it feel clipping in and out? Do you like them? When are you going to try them for real?

I don't know!
It feels okay, he made them pretty loose
I think I want to "play" inside for a while more before I go outside. Besides,
i might DROWN out there!
The left foot works better than the right, so I feel like until I can easily get both feet out, I am not ready for the outside world.

thanks for asking.

[kelownagirl]

I am happy with mine now that I made them super loose. I am not ready for tighter yet.

I can't believe you had a foot of rain! Seattle and Vancouver have had crazy weather in the past couple of weeks. They've had a boil water warning in Vancouver for the past week, a million people who can't drink the tap water. Crazy...

[kelownagirl]

Geez, X, what was that all about?
