That looks nice and it would be fun to go to Seattle. I am thinking we would probably need to wait until 2008. I need time to get this old body into shape.

How about an indoor one?

Dar: Still looking for team members? I think I want to race! I've contacted a friend of mine that's an Elite racer and he said he'd coach me...so that gives me 6mos. to work on my bunny hops. How was your date?

AG - I already have you on the team I still consider myself a novice and I don't know how to bunny hop. But I can stay on my bike for the 14 mile loop! Lots of single track, some rocks, 2 hills called B*tch 1 and 2. So practise for these conditions. You'll need to plan on coming up Thursday so we can preride that night. Friday would be an off day. If you want to stay after we can go white water rafting. If I don't get enough women to want to race you'll have to bring your coach with you. So how was the date?

My date sucked. Cheap, boring. Get this, he hemmed and hawed because he didn't want to order a sandwich so we split an appetizer and here was the clincher - he used his credit card to pay the $16 bill and TELLS me I can leave a $3 tip. I thought he was kidding and almost laughed but he wasn't. It's not that I wouldn't have minded splitting the cost but he asked me out, drank 2 beers to my one can of pop and instead of asking me if I wanted to split the cost, tells me. WTF? And after he complained about how cheap some of his clients are. I won't be seeing this dude again.....

BMo3 - congrats on the trainer! Keep it up girl, and I'm so happy for you!

CWR - good luck today! We're thinking about ya - I hope you get some pampering afterwards.

Mimi - I logged my first 10 miles last night. Off to bj to record them.

I need some coffee.....

Dar: I'm really excited! I was looking for a new challenge, and that seems just the ticket. It looks like I'll have lots of support too...a lot of my friends also MTB and are rearing to get on the trails with me...although, there might be a little "misery loves company" in that...I've seen some of there battle wounds Sorry your date sucked, I was at a club meeting last night and met the Specialized rep...he's originally from WI and quite the hottie! (but I guess him to be about 25...)

Knott: there must be some way to get out of that contract...they were the ones that breeched it by turning of your service when they shouldn't have.

The Danskin tri looks cool...what distance is it...Olympic, Sprint? With all of the trips I've already scheduled, I don't know if Seattle would work this year...but maybe in 2008...with X and BMo3. But in the meantime...the metro New York would be a cool on for 2007. I love Sandy Hook...OTG, what do you think?

Tonights date: Divorced, 42, 15 year old daughter. Avid cyclist, works for the State fish and boat commission. We've had some really great conversations...both seem to be on the same page. So I'm really looking forward to it. I'll keep you posted!

Kit: Congratulations! I have an apartment full of hand me down furniture myself...so I don't think I can help you out much there, but I expect you to post your new address so I can send a housewarming gift!

Woohoo! BMo3 on bike!

CWR, wishing you an easy surgery and speedy recovery.

I've been somewhat too lazy to get out on the bike this week, but I've been running twice. Took the bike to work yesterday in the hopes of a mid-day ride when it was warm and sunny, but didn't make it out. Spent too much time writing a letter to the editor and letters to legislators (too upset to do otherwise). This weekend looks nice for riding.

[Bikingmomof3]

Looks as though I will not be able to run in The Flying Pig Marathon this year (my oldest is being confirmed that day). SO I am slating The Flying Pig for 2008.
The Danskin Tri will also need to be slated for 2008, as DH will be out of the country this August.

I am still trying to figure out the indoor tri. The site is either wonky or my computer is not playing nicely with me.

Back to finding some events for this year.

Dar-I am so sorry your date was that bad. At least you found out right away.

AG-Best of luck on your date tongiht, let us know how it goes!

Kit-soon you will be in your own place.

[Xrayted]

Jeez, you ladies are gabby this morning!! I know I'm going to leave out someone, so sorry ahead of time. I'll work my way back....

Deb, go get 'em tiger. If you need some signatures on any petitions, give me a shout.

AG - So cool that D is doing a tri! I am free this weekend hon. Just give me the word and some directions. Btw, we have a Trader Joes? I didn't know that. I say we go tear the place apart. As for the date at Bube's, (said boobies) I recommend the Seafood Mornay. Delish. The martinis are wonderful too. Don't wear heels if you can get away with it. Stone floors are uneven due to the nature of the beast and there are a ton of steps to Bube's cuz it's underground in the catacombs. They will give you a tour and history lesson when you get there so arrive a bit early. Have fun. (very romantic lighting too, hint, hint )

OTG - come on out and play!! Pleeeeease?!!

Dar - It is totally up in the air as to what is going to happen to me this year but I will try very hard to make it. Sorry about the date dear. One frog down, one step closer to the prince.

Trek and Knot - mornin'! Sorry about the phone sitch not getting better. I say dump their azz and go with cingular. Happiness has no pricetag. The Danskin is very do-able. But BMo3 is in charge here, so refer all inquiries to her. "Mongo is just pawn in game of life..." (I love that movie.)

CWR - in a few hours, you will be done, getting your followup xrays and then heading home with your friend to recover. I will be thinking of you all day. It's a bit much the first day so just try to drop someone a note when you can. Until then, know that we all love you and are here for you anytime sis.


BMo3 - all is very well. I struggled to stay awake last night but we got to connect as I was drifting off. So glad I hung in there. The morning has proven to be bright as well. Relax today and thank you for all of your help. It made all of the difference in the world. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! (Btw, did ya get the massage? It really is better when you're on your back. )

And Kit - I've already said what I needed to say to you I think. Have a beautiful day sis. Tomorrow, you move into your new home. I'm so happy for you!! xoxo.

Alright, since I did not hit the lottery again this week, I'm outta here. There are people waiting to be shot. I mean xrayed.

Have a fantastic day ladies and be safe.

barf! What was nice about your date is you won't have to waste a lot of time trying to figure out if he's mr right.

i went down and rode another 6 miles last night but i got a funny pain in my leg while working out and then obsessed about blood clots in the middle of the night. (just what i need)

Jen, glad you got on your bike. it's a start!

Knot that phone thing really suks. i can't believe how much trouble you're having with them. Go to the other company and then take them to small claims court if they try to collect. Ah really, you know what to do, you don't need my dumb advice.

Dar, why do you have to know how to bunny hop to be in a race? sounds kind of fruity to me.

mimitabby "phone thing really suks. i can't believe how much trouble you're having with them. Go to the other company and then take them to small claims court if they try to collect. Ah really, you know what to do, you don't need my dumb advice."

Disputed ammounts on your phone bill do not have to be paid, check the information on the back of your phone bill.

However...since Verizon can't seem to establish a simple pending claim (that's where we set the disputed charges to the side so that you don't have to pay 'em) I think telling a manager that you're going to the FCC is the way to go is the way to go.

Can they hear me now? Good.

[mtbdarby]

Mimi, in a race you don't bunny hop, you ride over it, lol. It's just one of those things on my list of skills to master.

AG, very cool on your son doing a tri. I'm impressed at the committment from such a youngun'. Have fun on your date! (Do you have an AV jersey??)

X, hope all is well on your end. Have fun at work and happy shooting!

I don't feel like working, yet again. I need to find my focus. **looking around*** where's my focus hiding??

Bleah, i don't feel like working either. If it wasn't so crappy outside, i would leave.
so, in a race when you don't bunny hop, what are you riding over?

[mtbdarby]

Mimi, over logs, through puddles, or over small rocks. I've heard riders who bunny hopped over a crashed rider in front of them. Depends on the course and race conditions.

How many miles do I have to ride this weekend to keep up with you Mimi? I'm hoping to get outside this weekend for a spin. Who is that idiot from England on bj? It has to be a guy that's for sure. I'm routing for the chick from San Diego to kick his a$$. And of course everyone from TE

cool. I'd love to jump over the rocks and things on the ground.

And I'm not telling you my mileage until i've actually done it.

[Kitsune06]

Made it in to work in 40 minutes. Would've been 30 but I got *ahem* lost. No, that *never* happens to me.

Please PM me if you want the new address... for certain reasons, I don't want to be posting it on TD. "Yeah, sure, you'll talk about frozen vibrating rodents, drunken debauchery, kitty feeding and methods of murder, but not your new address?!" you say? Well... in a word... yeah. I've got my reasons.

xDH is helping me move, encouraging me to rent a truck to do it all in one trip (probably b/c he likes driving trucks )

Had a great night last night (thanks Jen and X) had fun, misbehaved (but not too much) Woke up sleepy and was happy for it- knew that meant I was finally, actually relaxed.

X- Thanks for insisting, pita.
Jen- You're a pita, too. *hugs!*
CWR- (((((CWR!)))) hope things go well. I'll email you on hippy medicinals. no, not those hippy medicinals!
AG- Rockhoppers are SWEET. Mine's a 16"... '03. was that lovely baby blue.

Mimi, I about peed my pants when I read that

[Xrayted]

So, ahem. I'm all in a good mood this morning. Put on a fun sunflower scrub top, feelin' all sunshiny and stuff. I get to work and my first patient sticks his finger down his throat while I'm about to lean over him to line up his pic and literally sprays me. He has an emesis basin right at his face, but decides that I am a better target. Sooo glad I wear glasses at this moment. Had to do a cleanup and change my scrubs after that one. (I'm thinking that I definitely shoulda shot that guy.) So now I'm in my kinda drab looking OR scrubs feeling about icky. **sigh** I need a hug.

Somehow, I'm still in a pretty good mood though. Hmmm, I must be more messed up and sleep deprived than I thought.

Catch y'all later.
