fasteryet,

there's a Chanuka woman?? Yes, Virginia, there's a Chanuka woman

well, I haven't actualy *seen* my family yet, due to the ongoing fiasco with my car thing but I got a big check, and i mean large check from my Mom also a gift certificate to REI from my neice. Other than practical things like paying bills with Mom's gift I plan to replace my bike shorts with new ones for the Lifecycle in June possibly with the PI tights with the chamois.

My sister hand knit me cycling arm warmers, they are so cute i think she should go into the business if the being a tenured sociology college professor does not work out for her ;-) They are black with Norwegian traditional styleized embroidery of figures of women in beaded embroidery around the wrist. I can go from century to opera house ;-)

Hopefully I'll be able to see them and my brother soon and do the gifty thing for them.
