Dear So and So

Dear Mother Nature,
Could you please assign a higher altitude to those @#*(%^#$ clouds of little bitty flying bugs? Why do you make them fly in swarms at mouth height anyway? I mean, my lungs can't really use them, and I'm sure the bugs aren't particularly thrilled at being inhaled, either. It would be doing both of us a favour if you could get them to use the airspace above, say, 10 feet AGL, and I'll be happy with the airspace below that.
Thanks so much.
Sherry.

Dear lungs,

I know that you hate my exercizing, but I really long to get back on my bike. Everything I see is turning into cyclist going happily down the road. I would desperately like to be one of those people (or imaginations) again.

Dear B*!#% at work today,

I know that spina bifida sucks, but that does not mean that you sort of have a grandchild. That baby did not ask to be that way and most importantly, still needs and deserves the love of any normal child. And yes, it is the same as having a normal child, just a little different. I am sorry that the child is not as perfect as you, but he will still bring you joy. I suggest that you get off your high horse and figure it out.

Dear God,

Thank you for not having me come over the counter and killing that woman today.

Dear Lungs,

Thank you for not acting up when I had to get her out of my system, especially since my husband had the inhaller.

Oh yah, P.S. God,

Thank you for giving me a place to vent and laugh at the same time.

Dear Master of the weather

Do you think it's funny to give us gorgeous better than summer days all week and then on Saturday and Sunday, 50 degrees and rain?
We here in Seattle are used to the 50 degrees stuff all year round but it's not fair to give us Sunny and 80 on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, and even better, Sunny and 75 on Thursday and then turn around and bathe us all going home on bike to work friday.
We've all here put in an order for 50 degrees and rainy on monday because none of us feel like riding on monday anyway.

apparently you aren't listening because I am facing another weekend with rain in the forecast for both days (and it's not just a consideration, it's a fact) and clearing up on monday.
hahahaha

Dear Sweet Puppy - I'm sorry that your owner is a jacka## and lets you wander across the bike path, making a "flexileash trip line" for cyclists. I'm sorry I scared you when I said "Passing on your left, reel the dog in please." I'm not sorry for telling your owner--under my breath, of course--to "pog mo thoin."

Oh, I am SO with you on this one. Cloudy and cold here in Victoria, after a similar week of 80F weather. I have a serious lack of motivation happening today....riding out in the cold wind with rain threatening seems like too much effort.....

Dear man at the gym who is old enough to be my father...

Yes, I'm working my traps. You get an "A" for anatomy today, I would give you a "good job" sticker but I left them in my car. I realize that I'm the only female in the weight room today, but really...you're creeping me out. Might I suggest that you stare at the floor, yourself in the mirror, anything but me.

Thanks,

enough already. Okay...last week on White's Hill was hard....the downhills were scarey
and the vocal chord spasms were scary....but c'mon....enough!

you're keeping me from looking forward to the Ride. It's gonna be a differnt ride than I planned on, but really I want to have fun and enjoy this.

please...back off!

[snapdragen]

shadon, you will probably be nervous until you ride out on day 1 - it's perfectly normal! Deep breaths, relax as best you can....you will have the time of your life!

Too funny!!!

It's weird being the only female in the weight room sometimes. I just put on my headphones & ignore them.

Maybe you could wear a t-shirt with a picture of your DH in uniform, that says, "Yeah, but you should see the traps on my husband!" L.

I'm in there so often without dh that I think I might appear to be single...especially when my lifting gloves cover my wedding band.

I'd use the iPod technique, but I don't have one! DH was planning to get me one for my birthday when I told him I wanted my road bike instead.

Dear Fat,

I know I have welcomed you for many years. You have been a constant companion, and I welcomed your shelter. But I don't need you anymore. You need to move on, and promptly.
