70 Miles!

Yesterday after work I went on a little bike ride.

Wait a minute let me try that again....

Yesterday after work I went on a BIKE RIDE!!

Hummm, no still not quite right....

Yesterday after work I did this!!!

Picture 1

Right here there was wind, enough wind to make me hate wind.


Picture 1

Here more wind. I really don't like wind.

However, right here was the elementary school I went to. At recess we use to play Charlies Angels. :) We were so cool!

But then again here was more wind! Wind+Bike=NOT GOOD!

Here is where I saw two teenagers, not in school, doing things their parents would not like.

Moving on . . . .


Here is where I thought about quitting going home and never riding a bike EVER again.

picture 6

Humm...

Okay, well it was more like this.

picture 7

The light blue arrow is where I decided that I had already gone to far to quit.

Here is where I started to think about crying.

picture 8

Okay, well it was more like this.

picture 9

Here is where I thought I was going to throw up. Then Brent would have to come get me because I was sick.

picture 10

Finally, here is where I rode into the driveway swearing I would never get on a bike ever again. I also swore that I would hunt down the Exercise Nazi and make her rue the day.

picture 11

Then again, the wind didn't actually kill me, I didn't quit, I didn't cry, I didn't get sick and I made it home. 70 miles only 30 to go.

Now I want to cry again.

I love it! You totally ROCK!!!!

If... or rather, when you finish the 100 mile trek, I think you need to petition Hollywood to make you an honary Charlie's Angel.

Riding 100 miles is way more work than I ever saw the Angels doing.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
