Broke Back Forest

Sorry,
Title was kind of a STM inside joke.
Had a GREAT time last night with the Single Track Mind crew. Burgers, Brats, Beer, a good ride and good company. Met some really great people that I would love to hang with more often.

Bout of the tummy flu today though. Stayed home, kept kids home with me and slept much of the day. Monkey came home to take care of me and ended up feeling kinda blah himself and took a nap as well.

Feeling a bit better now.

IN OTHER NEWS!!!!!
I just saved money on my car insurance.............kidding...just couldnt resist. I actually now ride for team Velo Bella !! Its a womens racing team..They sponsor but the main goal is to have fun!!! No set amount of rides you need to do. Just buy a jersey, a license, sign up for email, post your info and race at least one ride...Not a problem being as how I plan on submitting myself to some cyclo cross pain this fall with my spouse. Should be an interesting fall...3 kids in soccer, 1 in SKHS football cheer, school for the kids, myself starting at PLU, and Monkey and I cross racing. ..Kinda makes me tired thinking about it.
I just wonder how many people actually start doing racing (amateur) or professional alike at almost 40. Well, what the hell. Ya only live once right????
Peace out!!

My new Gearie

Tested out my new Kona King Supreme Geared full suspension bike today! Went to Capitol Forest and rode down the Greenline #6 (LOVE THAT TRAIL!!!) Rockin downhill course.
"Root Boo" (KONA) Took the drops like a "King" :) Rode very smooth, not too bouncy but far more plush than what I am used to. I.E. "Blue Boo" (SINGLE SPEED). I really really dug the bike. STILL Adore my single speed BLUE BOO.
My sweet spouse made a few adjustments to the gears and later changed out my front tire. Love being married to a bike nerd!!
Need to get used to taking the hills though, my instinct is to stand, such as I do on Blue Boo. I started to get the sitting and spinning (no pun intended) thing though.
Made it up the road climb to the Green line without stopping, it was hard and certainly got me rather asthmatic but the Root boo rocked up the hill, just dialed out my fork and set my pro ride to the correct setting and spun away.
Wow, almost sound like a bike nerd for a minute!!! Whew.....now off to surf bike porn.

My BIG little boy and his proud mama!

So proud ofAaron. He has a job working for the Clover leaf tavern. Seriously....He is working their concession stand. He is exhibiting responsibility and while some may say "yeah, he's sixteen" I say, "yeah, he's sixteen!". This is my child with ADD previously ADHD. No hyperactivity now really cuz he can veg on a couch for hours on end. BUT..school is still a challenge.
I watched him interact with people, I watched him work the cash register, clean, cook, and basically run a busy concession stand all by himself. I was and am so proud that he is so responsible, in fact, they are so impressed with him, that he will be working at a Bluejackets game tomorrow night...THAT is the big daddy!!Talking to hundreds of customers with lots of cooking and counting. He will be working with his best friend Chris, whom I adore.
So anyway, ya all may be thinking that I am getting excited over something relatively minor and I am..Just wait till he (if he) graduates from high school. I will probably take out a billboard hang balloons from my car, graffiti the town and just all around shout for joy.

JUST KIDDING

Ok, I think I am better now. Getting over my passive aggressive victimized state and ready to blog again.
JUST A WARNING TO ALL.
YA DONT LIKE WHAT I SAY....DONT READA ME BLOG MAN!!!!
And I am not always a nice person. No one is. I get hurt, mad and viscious as all wounded animals do..I mean Tink is my totem and she is quite naughty and vindictive.

Ju Ju over n out

Because I am no longer allowed to write how I feel even though that what the blog was meant for me to do.

I will no longer blog.

Just bottle it up inside and let it eat at me.

DONE
Bye

Quite MIRACULOUS

So in a 24 hour period, Perry has gone from one breath on his own per minute and in a total coma. To breathing on his own, Responding to people, suctioning himself and sitting up in a chair. ABSOLUTELY MIRACULOUS!!! Gives me chills.
And being as how my teenagers have been evil lately. It actually makes me thankful that they are well enough to be evil. Funny how life throws you these little reminders of how lucky you really are.

SAD news

Just got a call from the ex. My nephew Perry, who will be 17 in August has had a bad accident. Occured on Saturday. Skateboarding without a helmet. Now he is in a coma at Harborview with brain exposed after brain surgery to relieve the pressure on Sun am.
A helmet is a little thing that does a lot. If only..If only.

Final exam

Have my final micro exam today. Yay and nay. Not prepared. Not time to study. Had two very large thousand dollar parties this weekend. CRAZY hair dressers on SUnday night. WHAT an AWESOME group. Still getting calls for parties and products. Very busy with that. Guess I should start keeping track of my business paperwork now. Also may have one recruit who seemed quite excited about the business. Also good news.
Lots of cleaning to do for the party this weekend. Hope all coming brings a change of clothes for their children. SQUIRT GUNS and WATER FIGHT!!!! WOO HOO!
