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...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real.  Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself.  By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive!

What not to Wear, Swimsuit Addition

Working at a swimming pool a strange thing starts to happen to you. You become less aware of the fact that you are wearing a swim suit. You become less aware that people around you are wearing swimsuits. Really in most instances you don't even notice the swimsuits. Which is ironic sense most people are so uncomfortable in what a swim suit discloses about their bodies. However, the truth is not that many people have fantastic bodies. It is an exception to the rule for a swim suit model to walk into the pool. Most people who come to the pool are everyday people with everyday bodies. That being said there are things us pool workers do notice. Things that I feel as your friend I must share. Things that have left young men scarred and us older ladies just plain grossed out. So here it is my first what not to wear swim suit addition. Rule Number One. Wear a swimsuit that fits. I see more women do harm to their figure wearing a suit that is two, three, four sizes to small then...
