    I have no heat, and so my fingers are often too cold to type! The heating guy is coming tomorrow to install the new heat pump. Whoopee!

    feel the need to post

    Due to the recent decline in "posts" I felt the need to post!

    My reason for lack of posting is....well less stuff that I read I feel I can reply to or add to ...thus the lack of posting makes me post less.

    The other reason...I seem to "view" TE at work. AND I am TRYING hard NOT to get on TE at work and to really get my work done. I actually do a great job multitasking...but my boss and workplace would probably frown on this!

    Weather her in FL is awesome. One of the best times of the year. I have "spring fever" and WISH I was not working and could be outside being active. And I will be....this weekend.

    This made me laugh because my home office doesn't really have heat (and I am being too cheap to use the space heater), and it gets REALLY cold and I find myself making lots of typos - basically typing as if I were drunk.

    I make a lot of typos in any state. What must you all think of me? I am a drunk? Keep the AC too cold?

    The Baby Laughed on the Fryer

    I make a lot of bizarre typos....fallout from brain surgery.

    I couldn't type a coherent sentence for about a year after surgery. The thoughts were there but what came out was very strange.

    For example, if I wanted to type, "The bird landed on the fence," what would come out of my fingers would be, "The baby laughed on the fryer." The brain cells were a little mixed up and tried to compensate for my very fast touch typing by throwing out anything close.

    Funny thing is that the left brain stuff came out just fine on paper. "I could accurately do work at the lab and write, "One clear plastic bag containing a white powder substance that tested positive for Cocaine."

    Every once in a while now a very strange word will creep into my typing and I often don't catch it on re-reading. But I'm healthy, happy, cancer-free (it was a benign tumor), and so I can settle for odd words now and then. It adds a little splice.....er...splatter....er spice.

    50 degree high, wind and rain the last two days. Been to the gym to start lifting weights again. Tried the new trainer and it SUCKS (still waiting for the spinervals dvd to arrive). Spinning doesn't start for another 3 weeks. Ski season hasn't started yet. Virtual biking is all I've got for now! Where are all the people who live where's it's warm?!

    Hey BleekerStGirl, I do have the proper clothes, believe me...I could supply a biking family I have so much clothing! (and I do ride in the winter providing the roads are ice free!) I sorta used that as an excuse. I hemmed all day about riding..and regretted it by 5pm. I did however get the last of the flower beds tended to, and all the planting containers taken care of, and got the last of all the outside stuff done before winter. SO all wasn't lost by not riding, but I used that breeze-ok wind-as an excuse. It made me ease my guilt of not being out on the bike, feeling the breeze in my face...

    Well gardening is just as valid as biking in my book- it definitely counts!
    I took a beautiful cool biking day off recently to clean up my tomato patch for winter. Cleaning up gardens is way easier in the dry fall than in the wet spring with the ground half frozen.

    Hi Gang - I have not posted much at all (even through the summer) because I was, 1. having a really tough time emotionally; 2. alone and a newlywed and 3. extremely busy with work. The easiest thing to do was to check the boards and log in only if I felt the desire to post. Otherwise, I kinda kept to myself.

    Life is better now (though I hope it will be much better in the next few weeks) and I may surface more often in the coming weeks. We'll see....

    My lack of posting has nothing to do with the change in the weather; instead, it has everything to do with the chaos in my life. Believe me, this group of women is the most wonderful in the world. I have met two of my closest friends right here on TE. I will keep checking and will post as often as possible.

    My best to everyone and please - keep posting! I love reading what you have to say and every now and then I will comment.

    BF and I are going to keep cycling! Yay for So Cal weather. But maybe we'll even buy a trainer. We'll see.

    I haven't been posting because I started work and moved to a new place. Been very busy and i'm often too tired at the end of the day to post.

    The boyfriend chose our latest dog. He chose a German Shorthaired Pointer. GSPs wreck the house when they get bored. And I started a session of guitar lessons again. Between dog exercising and practice, there goes my computer time.
