Hi Everyone. :)

[Melody]

I haven't been around much But I wanted to say hi and let everyone know I haven't forgotten them.

This has been a very busy year for me with lots of ups and downs. Back in February I joined the Bay Area Showcase Chorus and somehow got roped into joining the chorus management team and that has kept me pretty darn busy, especially since we just got back from Calgary on Sunday where we were competing on the International stage (we got 15th!). I've also been dealing with lots of work related issues and projects that have just worn me out (but it got me yet another raise this year. YAY!)

On the negative side I've had to deal with four deaths of people who were very close to me this year so that has sapped my strength and will at times. It's been hard but I've been chugging along.

That said though, I've ridden -0- miles this year. Zip, nada, not a one. Unfortunately the next couple of months are going to be busy for me also since my husband and I are (finally!) buying a house. It's in San Jose near 280 and Winchester and my in-laws are moving in with us. Luckily it's a duplex and they're going to move into the 2/2 side and we're going to move into the 3/2 side. Good thing is we all get along great.

I hope you are all doing great and I hope to see you all at a TE meet sometime soon. I'm also hoping to try to do Cindy this upcoming year.

*HUGS* To you all! I miss ya.

Mel

Hey Melody! You haven't been forgotten either - glad to know you're still around.

Don't feel bad about not riding - I have exactly 16 miles on my bike this year. Let's both hope next year is better for us both!
