    Bron,
    The fresh berries added a delightful look and of course taste. I am a SAHM, but have a masters in physics. DH is a professor of chemistry (and oh is he anal about measuring. )

    All right. I give up. I guess you need more than a doctorate in Sociology to know what a SAHM is.

    Ah, the "Oys" of home ownership.

    Could always get the bike and have cold showers?

    My dentist told me last year that it'll cost me twice that to fix my broken tooth.

    We will all note that I own two bikes, and still have a broken tooth.

    Pain? what pain? You don't have to chew Gu, anyway! Hey, lets go for a bike ride!

    Nice.. spent the day cleaning up my bike ... Was worried after a day in the rain. Plus she deserves it after the Cindy and the Tierra Bella (and the rides between).

    Gave her a nice bath with my new bike repair stand that came in. Ultimate Pro Elite. Got it with my REI 20% and money from Xmas "to go buy a bike repair stand."

    Got to take off her front and rear wheels and the chain. Gave the rear cassette a nice brushing as well as the chain.

    Lubed her up and put her back together again.

    So nice to have to break my back and so nice to be able to angle her however I need her to get to all the nooks and crannies.

    Happy bike.. I hope everything works after this. Did I say I love the master link thing!?

    We were, we looked at about 20 houses and none of them really tripped our trigger. That combined with a wildly fluctuating market we decided to wait another year.

    The joys of home ownership. I feel your pain. I keep hoping my roof will hold out another two years.

    Had a great bike riding Saturday, but since then...

    Rain rain rain rain rain rain.......
    Some of the main highways around us were closed due to flooding. Lots of basements flooded out. Happily we put in an upgraded new sump pump last year in our basement, and it's working fine.
    No biking that's for sure. More rain over the next few days. Looks like no rain letup until Thursday when it will be "only" a 30% chance of rain.

    The only good thing in it for me is that I am slowly getting caught up on my paperwork and regular work too. Working my way through the annoying paper piles on my desk, you know the To Do paperwork stuff. Rainy grey days are great for working at one's desk.

    Lydia the cat is looking a little teeny bit better each week. My 3 cats all seem to love their new organic Paul Newman's dry cat food that I've switched to. Nobody's hurling anymore- a good sign! (knock on wood)

    Great news about Lydia! Today is a beautiful day. I have all the windows open and airing out the house while I can. More rain is supposed to come here tomorrow. I thought I sent all the bad weather to Lisa. Oh well, I shall continue to enjoy the sun and low humidity while I can.
