Hey J - way to go on your ride! Woohoo!! Very proud of, and happy for, you!

Am saddened, though, by the death of the cyclist.

TX - not to be impertinent, but how is your ass? Recovered from the MS150? Hope so...

I'm in Seattle this week...

J firstly, congrats on finishing your first century!!!! I am so happy for you. I got your message late yesterday because of course my phone does not work up in the boonies. I am so proud. Oh and Korrine got her Flat Stanley from Zoe and loved it. He looked so cute.

I will never ever understand how someone can be so consumed in something that they do not see a person on the side of the road in broad daylight. My heart hurts for his family.

thanks y'all.

There's been more news about the cyclist. He was not on a sactioned part of the ride course. He was on a busier highway. Still, it's his right to be on that road. It was raining badly. They think he was going left of some rumble strips on the road...

Regardless a life was lost needlessly. I just hope riding was his passion and he has peace now. His poor family has got to be miserable.

To be cheerier

Glad Flat Stanley made it to Korrine. It was fun. I'm sure you'll be returning the favor at some point. :mad:

This is Bike to Work Week. The last place I wanted to be this morning was on my bike. It had just stopped raining, so I got on her and came into work. Yeah, I'm a rock star!

Since the ride is over, my goal is to get back to the low cal, no simple carb diet. I was propelled for 110 miles by peanut M&Ms and Cliff Blocks. I did have better nutrition too, but I'm saying the junk needs to stop.

I'm sorry the pic didn't show up of me at the mural, but I'm also kind of glad because just as soon as I think I'm looking cute, I realize that I'm still very much over weight. 190's is not the same as 130's and a girl needs to get busy...you know they say pictures don't lie, and I didn't look small or even regular in the pic, I looked big. :smile2:

Enough of that...How was everyone mother's Mothers' Day?

[TexasFire 84]

J - You ARE cute, chica! And we love you, so don't talk like that! We still want to see those pics, you know.

Mother's Day? HMPH! Mine sucked. My kids didn't remember and tell me Happy Mother's Day until last night. My family is VERY goofy about holidays and birthdays and we always get together. This was the first one EVER that we didn't. My kids are too old to remind them...if they don't care enough to think of others and know what day it is....I'm just saying.

So when 3pm rolled around without a peep, I decided I would not waste the rest of my day. I went to Garden Ridge and got new deck furniture and a big offset umbrella so I can start laying out...I'm in desperate need of a tan. I also went to Lowe's for new landscaping for my back yard. I am completely ripping out and redoing the beds along the back of the house. So I removed all the decorative rock and dug up the tired old shrubs. My house was built in 1999, and I don't understand how these shrubs look so bad, but they do. I got pretty new Boxwoods, dwarf Fire Nandinas and a white Crepe Myrtle to plant there...it will be so pretty when I get done! Lowe's also had enormous Boston Ferns on sale, so I got a bunch of those to hang in front and back.

So my day ended on a good note, anyhow! :biggrin:

Stefanie,

Your yard will be amazing! Wow. I'm going to buy a tiller so I can get my beds together again. It's been a few years since I've done much in the yard, but I'm more fit now than ever so I might not hate it as much!

There's talk about a lapband convention in the DFW area this October. I'd go if some of yous guys would go.

Thoughts?

[babygrl1234 6]
