How bout this weather?!?!

Effin' A.

I'm a superhero... Arrgghh

But like you didn't know that already. I wished they had a raygun option as I would've been all over that one. You can make your own here. This is my first attempt. I plan on making another because I'll do anything to avoid work.
I may have to do the bow-staff next or nunchucks in honor of Napoleon Dynamite.
Nothing new over here. Still trying to motivate myself to ride. Still unsuccessful. Getting the WORS book almost made me want to get on my bike, but it didn't push me over the edge. My expanding gut just might though. I hate when tees start to feel snug at the waist.

bitches

Yeah, that's right. I went for a ride outside tonight. 13 miles outside. Fear me. And get this shit I was hit by a deer. I didn't go down though... I have mad skillz, yo. I felt so good I almost did 16 miles, maybe next time.
I really hate riding outside by myself through the woods at night. There's this one section of trail the way the wind blows... you know like in scary movies when the wind picks up and you just know the shit's gonna go down, yeah that kind of wind. I'm always waiting for some dude with a hatchet or some demon dog to jump out at me in that section.

huh...

I think I'm done spazzing. I'm a bit more relaxed at work today. I need more coffee though.
For the past few days (or weeks) I've stayed up near midnight internetting (duh). I've been waking up (not wanting to wake up) and been fine for the most part all day. Why is it that when I decide to hit the sack early I wake up the next morning exhausted and can't seem to wake up the entire day (even with tons of caffeine)? Yesterday and today I have been really tired. Like falling asleep on the way to work. Yet I've had the most sleep the past couple of days.

it's Monday

Yes it does. No House tonight. Work is out of control. I'm bitter. Still have a day or two of spazzing before I probably get it together. I shouldn't even be posting. I have so much to do. But whatever.
Went to the North American Handmade Bike Show this weekend. It was awesome. Good to see friends again. I think I enjoyed that more than the show... that's saying a lot. My favorite was probably the Ellis.

Okay... deep breaths.

My inbox has flames shooting everywhere. I'm a bit frazzled at the moment.
I haven't felt like this in awhile. I know what needs to be done... take one email at a time and ignore the others, but I almost feel like it's necessary to spazz out for a couple days before I take control. Why is this? Spazzing is not fun or necessary. Why can't I skip this step?

it's Monday... again

<----- this was my Friday night.
After that, all was good. Saturday I took Reese and Casey to see Coraline. I loved it, they loved it. Good times. Reese ended up spending the night. I pretty much internetted all Saturday evening. Sunday some friends were over. Ate way too much take out but whatever. It's Monday. Fangirl day. This day hopefully hurries.

it's Friday

KILL ME NOW.
I need a drink.

it's thursday

I've got nothing. However I hope this amuses you as much as it does me. If it's not at the beginning wait for it.

it's Wednesday

And Lost is on. LOST! Nothing else matters. Not even my kids beating up on each other. Or Zoe having a temper tantrum. And OMG... the commercials are over.

it's Tuesday

Casey's birthday was good. I think she had a nice day. Master Chief was there blowing balloons for her. John had the neighbor across the street call and pretend he was MC. John decorated with balloons and streamers, so I think she was quite surprised when she came in. Smiles all around that's for sure.
John bought me some new headphones for Valentine's Day (kinda, we could care less about VD, but it's an excuse to get neat stuff). Anyway, the sound is amazing. I haven't heard my music sound this good in so long. The only negative is I can totally tell a shitter quality mp3 now. My mind has been blown listening to music I listen to all the time and picking out sounds I've never heard before. Music rocks more than it ever did.
I'm so thankful it isn't frowned upon to wear headphones here at SRAM. Not sure how I'd get through the day.
On a related note, I bought John headphones for VD too. XBox 360 surround sound with mic (nerd). He found it ironic that we both bought each other noise cancelling headphones.
I may ride the trainer tonight. I'm giving it serious thought. Serious thoughts come easy while sitting at my desk at work.

it's Monday.

I took the day off Friday to take care of some things. Important things like haircuts, bike rides and internetting without guilt. My bike ride was 15 miles but felt like 30. I'm really out of shape. But whatever.
Last night I went to check my SRAM email for the first time since Thursday and I couldn't log on. I was hoping to do some damage control before Monday morning. Delete all the fluff ya know. I was finally able to get into my email through my mac. Today no go. Apparently there was a server failure and it's rebuilding now. So I'm internetting without guilt at the moment. The tps reports will have to wait.

It's Casey's birthday today. She's 7. SEVEN!!! OMG!

yeah. icons make me laugh.

I did something completely out of the ordinary today. I chose to embrace today as a gift and not complain about how it was only one day of beautiful. It was a great tease and I was happy to have it. There is something pretty sweet about short sleeves outside in February.
My awesome mom agreed to watch the kids for a bit. So John and I headed out to the bike path and rode through the trees. The moon was full, the air was perfect and there was barely any ice. I felt so out of shape, but didn't even care. I didn't even care that the saddle was a painful wedge.

hmmm...

I thought maybe I've been bummed lately because I've been missing my Wisco peeps.
If that's the case I shall shed no more tears as we'll be up to our eyeballs in cheese this weekend. Bubba, Meghan, possibly Rick, Jeremey and Destiny will be coming down to hopefully cure what ails me. The thought alone must be helping, I wasn't too lazy to link their blogs.

dude, OMG

Guess what?



I hate winter.

meh

At least I don't feel like yesterday. And I'm going to feel even better in a few minutes. I'm going down to the vending machine.

shitter

I'm having a total shitter day.
I don't know why so I have no idea how to make it better.
I feel out of sorts. I'm usually easily amused and today I'm not.

so far...

Tired. Shower. Donut. Traffic. Sunshine delay. Traffic. Huge inbox. Coffee.

don't get caught with your pants down

GET SOME TWIN SIX


you know the season is a total creeper.

Where to begin?

So much riding has not happened this weekend.
It was pretty uneventful but I did venture past my front stoop.
Saturday afternoon Casey and I headed to The Disney Store for a birthday gift she had to get for a party later that day. Headed to the party. Chaos ensued. Jumpy things, pizza, a Little Mermaid cake, cupcakes and pop. I love cake.
Pretty much as soon as Casey and I walked in the door at home, the whole family was back in the car to pick up John's sis. She's in from California. We ended up staying at his P's for some pizza. I'm beginning to think that the only things I eat are pizza and donuts. For real. Amelia will probably confirm this.
Today I lazed around for a good part of the morning. Read the paper, downloaded a bunch of crap, actually showered. Casey spent the night at John's P's; so John, Zoe and I headed out to run some errands. It was weird, we were out n about but really didn't get done what we set out to do. We did have a battery failure in the Best Buy parking lot. That was fun waiting for a neighboring car to finally come out of the store. After waiting for about 15 minutes we decided to push it out and then ask a passerby to give us a jump. Some nice Jeep couple helped us out.
Came home bathed some kids and watched Hugh Laurie win best actor at the SAG awards. And then chatted about it with my House friends.
And now I'm typing this lame blog.
