    Why is it that everything that wants to kill you can either run fast or jump huge distances??? *shudder*

    I get to see my sister Sunday!!!

    We were chatting on Facebook and it turns out we're both traveling this weekend.... to the same vicinity.

    I'm jazzed. Even though the relationship we have is what we've been able to build as adults, at a distance of hundreds of miles, after we'd each begun to process our childhood(s), she is totally my hero. I don't get to see her nearly often enough, so I'm super excited.

    Cool Oak! That is a great.
    I get to see my sis this weekend. She is coming to my X-mas party! Very excited.
    We were MUCH closer as kids...I still feel/remember that. As adults we are MUCH more different. But I always want to see her and think the same bond will reoccur.

    Safe travels and have fun!

    BTW...I saw from anther post that you "winter" elsewhere. You often speak of what you know about flat FL...are you a "snowbird"?

    I wish I had a sister. Thought I never knew what I was missing, but really, I don't have anyone to call just to share my thoughts with, like a best friend but more indepth knowledge of the family dynamics, and I wish I did. For some reason today especially.

    Yep.

    I HATE moving. But now that we've been doing it 5 years, I have attachments "down south" too, and would have a hard time giving it up.

    I know, everyone should have such problems.

    bike

    I've recieved the a-ok from the house finance minister (i'm the prime minister of our house) to purchase a new mtn bike. I have very few options & the Trek Fuel 8.9 WSD looks amazing but at $8000 (that includes shipping from america) i think it's a wee bit too expensive... The Rocky Mountain bike, it can stay in Canada with the components it has. Speaking to an experienced, well respected person in our mtb community at thier awesome bike shop today i've come home with not many choices...

    I am able to try out only one XS bike (since i know someone with one!) & that's a Yeti...

    It's a big big BUMMER being small & no one stocks bikes my size..Poo. Big Poo.

    Yes, it is! I hope you eventually find something you're happy with.
