Ian's doing it solo & his team name: There's a loose nut on my bike.

It should be a great event night riding with kangaroos rustling around scaring the pahooeys out of me

have a good afternoon

c

i love it! Kangaroos rustle around??!

I also love the team name "there's a loose nut on my bike"

I survived my birthday. had a pleasant evening with DH and older son. Ate dinner at home (it was 25 degrees out) then after dinner,
we watched Brokeback mountain. The one guy did a great cowboy imitation.(I spent 10 years in Idaho so I know a cowboy when I see one!) I was not convinced of their love affair, but there were some beautiful parts in the movie. Watched 2 R rated movies with my son in 2 days. It's a good thing he's more mature than I am!
Meanwhile, my dear little sister not only did not wish me a happy birthday, she followed up all her other angry letters with one that made it clear that she has never forgiven me for anything I have done to her since we were children. And she's mad about a bunch of stuff I didn't do as well.
I wrote her back saying as much. I told her I'd be happy to talk to her about her job, her art, her friends, her husband, anything except regurgitation of the past.
so except for my sister, yes, I had a happy birthday. I already knew she was going to be this way (since last week when she went OFF) so it was not a great devastating experience, more a quiet sadness.

I say SODA!! but I translate to POP for the DH.
he says funnies I say comics (for the comics section of the paper) I think this is hilarious since we've shared the same house for almost 30 years!

I'd love to hear all your accents too. We are spread EVERYWHERE! I used to have a NJ accent, but now it takes an expert to catch it, since I've been on the west coast longer than I was on the east coast.

X, you can't borrow my jersey. You might spill something on it.

You'd trust me stay at your house but not borrow your jersey??? You biker chick, you! Good priorities, I like that.

These boots were made for walkin'...

I have hiking boots and rubber boots. I also have a pair of cowboy boots that don't fit

ME TOO KNOT! except if i wear really really thin socks, I can get into the cowboy boots!

I can't even WALK in high heels!

Kit - I just asked about your knee... you could've said you nicked it shaving or whatever. But don't you appreciate the fact that everyone here would worry if something ever happened to you, even the smaller stuff? *xoxo*

good grief, no bicycling on ICE GUYS!

[KnottedYet]

Jeez, Kit, that's a scary crash! Holy Toledo!

And you were gonna keep that a secret from us!?!!?! Good thing X spilled the beans!

Girl, you are so good to have been scrabbling out of the way of that Jeep! Did she ask if you were ok?

Oooh, don't be riding during this icy business, please!

[mtbdarby]

Oh, you guys are funny this morning!

Trek - glad you didn't open the door woman. You're one smart cookie, although, I would like to see you open a can of whoop a$$ of someone (as long as it's never me )

OTG - you rock! You are so inspiring to me! Could you please send me some movitvation. PLEASE????

Kit - nicked shaving wouldn't have been a good story, but crashing on the icey pavement, well **sniffling** I'm just proud of you! Glad you weren't hurt worse. Take care of yourself (we can't have X leaving her cage to come get you, people would talk....)

Mimi - sorry your sis had to ruin it for you. I think she needs to grow up. You'd trust me to wear the orange jersey though, wouldn't 'cha?

CC - Love the team names! When is the race? We want pix!

AG - greetings and salutations. PM me anytime on Match misery - I'm all over it. I hate to pull rank here, but after 2 years of searching on match, I'm next in line, hehe! I'm calling it project FROG - finding a really ok guy (someone here came up with the name but I'm drawing a blank - sorry). Teeth and hair, huh? Maybe my standards are too high? I talked to a new guy last night who started off the conversation telling me holidays are depressing because his dad died last year just before TG and this year his mom took off somewhere for the holidays . Luckily, I lost the call at that time. If that's how he starts a call with a stranger, I could be in trouble here.

BMO3 - thanks for asking about Xena. She's doing better this morning. She even took her $4 pill like a good girl this morning. $4 pill - man, was this vet bill expensive! I'm waiting to hear from Scotts sister on how his surgery went - thanks for the prayers. And thanks for the Christmas card!

Lise - hope work went well. Did you get your vacation time for Italy all straightened out? If you have one, hows about posting a pic of you and your honey? You guys sound like such an adorable couple - you give me hope! Steve called last night and we may go out Saturday.

Spoke - glad the vacation went well. It's always good to be home isn't it? Good for dh getting domesticated. Maybe it's an early Christmas present?!

I have to go let my coffee OUT. Then actually do some work . I"ll check back at lunch. I'm getting close to 500 posts you know - milestone!

[mimitabby]

hey Where's Nanci???

MTB, you know I can't show favoritism. Poor X would be hurt.

A guy that starts out a conversation by whining? Good thing you dropped the call!

My husband was going to ride on ice yesterday. but he took the bike off the bus rack and set it down. and he couldn't roll it! it kept slipping out from under him. So he walked it to work instead.

Hmmm...I hate to be cynical....but does anyone else think "Kahnartist" is an unfortunate name for someone who has only been posting in the for sale/wanted area?? Or did I miss a joke (as usual).....

Procrastinating at work today...not a good thing It's 70 degrees outside and I'm never home when there's daylight

Come on Spring!!

Kit, glad you aren't hurt worse. Scary slip there. How about some studded tires before you try riding on ice again?

Speaking of accents, my nemesis is the word "pen", and the word "pin", which are pronounced identically in my world, but other people seem to be confused by this. Big revelation when I moved from Missouri to Massachusetts to attend college was that some people can pronounce "Mary", "marry", and "merry" differently. Who would have guessed? A favorite English topic in grade school was the study of homonyms, which I now know there are more of in Missouri than anywhere else. And I was in 5th grade before a teacher finally corrected my spelling of warsh and Warshington.

For those of you who would like to know---I PMed Bruno28 just to see if she was out there (so to speak) and okay. She is and is--just overloaded with work. I told her she was missed here, but glad to know everything's all right in Thistle Land.

Or get yourself a set of studded tires!

edit - oops, I see Deb already suggested that....

my favorite "party game" how do you pronounce Mary Marry Merry

but Where's Nanci?

I've been really busy lately and fallen behind on me TE readings. But today was a slow day at work so I thought I'd try to get caught up on TD. Not easy! You girls are all very chatty! And now I'm really jealous of those of you living up north. I want snow too!!! I love snow! All I get is the occasional torrential downpour, but otherwise damp and just warm enought to not feel justified in feeling freezing cold. Give me -20C and 6ft of snow any day! I've had enough of this damp and miserable weather where nothing ever dries out!

Sorry, that all came out a bit negative. I'm really quite happy. Only a few more weeks till Christmas!! And lucky for me, I get to do a bit of Channuka too!! In just 20 days I will be home in Norway, baking Christmas cookies and eating salted cod. I can't wait!!!
