The whole song (counting to 10) stayed in my head all the way up both big hills. Thing I got through the whole thing at least four times. I was a bit mental by the time I got home. Definitely need to learn some better songs. Generally I get one phrase or three chords from a song stuck in my head and it goes on repeat for the whole ride. Drives me a bit crazy after a while...

How about, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...

And down the other side, "IthoughtIcouldIthoughtIcouldIthoughtIcould!"

Ah, the dreaded ear worm! During a mountain bike race I was unfortunate enough to have Niel Diamond's Coming to America stuck in there. It wasn't fair....the women's race started with no music at all....the men's race they cranked AC/DC's Rock N Roll Ain't Noise Pollution, so DH had a happy ear worm and I had sap.

Not fair!!

Hugs and butterflies,

Thoughts from this morning's commute:

- Hmmm, 9 degrees isn't all that bad.
*Pulls down mask to honk snot rocket*
- Did I just freeze a rocket to my jacket?!

- I'm hungry, what's for dinner tonight?
- Screw dinner, what did I bring for the first breakfast?
- Gotta switch chain lube, this stuff is like pedaling through honey when its cold.
- Hey, looky there; frozen road kill.
- Nuts, my headlight is getting dim.
- Ooooh, the seat post squeak is gone!
- I'm hungry.

After getting to work, I found aforementioned snot rocket...on the left side of my pants. Grr!

First spin class in new gym. Spin room has windows that face the free weight area.

- that guy's sweatpants are hanging beLOW his butt! Does he think those white y-fronts are sexy, or is he gonna pull up his pants?
- oh, thank goo'ness. he pulled 'em up.
- "Born to be wiiiiiild" ooh! standing climb sprint and I can even sing along!
- Did the coach up the volume so as not to hear me sing? He's smiling tho'
- Ah, top of the hill, on the flat ... "Yesterdaaaay, all my troubles seemed so ..."
- Wow! Born to be wild took me through my hr ceiling and I didn't even notice til now!
- Coach keeps saying "Er dere klare?" I'd better listen what dialect he speaks. Oslo that means "Are you ready?" Here it means "Are you tired?" Trysil it means "Are you horny?"
- Næh. He's from Oslo. Nice piece of eye candy though.
- ouch. cramp. heel down. wriggle toes. mmm. that's better.
- circles, circles, up down up down, cadence up, hr down, bump the resistance. there y'are!
- last interval? do I have another sprint in me? hr at 175, I guess I can sprint another minute.
- ok. home stretch. up the hill to the marine tech center, then down the hill home. whoo! I'm feeling this hill in my glutes! hot shower is gonna feel soooo goood!

A couple of times, I've thought:

"If I'm going to keep riding with silver...I really should cancel the life insurance"

Wouldn't want her to have incentive to become a MERRY widow

Siver thought bubble

"Just think of all the bikes I could buy....hmmmmmm

I could get a Riv, all I have to do is not call out that bump. And then I could go for that cute Norwegian spin instructor."

There's a nice Merry Widow in the Trace Adkins video "One Hot Mama."

Edit: oops, my bad! It's not a Merry Widow. It's just a lingerie set.

So what does milf mean?

Edit: Never mind, I googled it.. I am SO naive sometimes...

**Mr. Bloom** · 01-13-2007, 01:50 AM

Knotted...I hate you!

MILF is the description applied to Stifler's Mom in American Pie

It's also a phrase that nearly got me in a fight last fall in Tuscaloosa when a drunk freshman was hanging out of a car yelling it at my Silver

Good thing I didn't catch him or he may have whipped my a$$

Excuse me? those are little "I'm kidding" smilie faces, right? OK, then.

**Mr. Bloom** · 01-13-2007, 06:20 AM

Absolutely

It was truly a joke...

**KnottedYet** · 01-13-2007, 06:24 AM

I knew it was a joke!
