No long bike ride this weekend :(

I've been for the most part grounded for the weekend. I'm working both today and tomorrow...bummer. My riding partner swears I should throw on my spandex and grab a wheelchair (I work in a nursing home) and start racing around the halls trying to get the old folks to race with me...thus causing me to never again be asked to work a weekend due to a "psycho- spandex-biking disease". I love this idea! It sounds very appealing.

I'll be taking the long way home from work this afternoon in hopes of grabbing a couple extra miles. I'm pretty close to my goal for the year so by the end of next week I believe I'll have gotten it! HURRAY!

Oh yeah, and my daughter called today saying that my dog, Brownie had tried to eat our kitty (or rather Gaven's), Grizzly. If he had wanted to she'd be a single bite so I think he was just trying to play.

Just passed the 1400 mile mark

I'm doing a little dance this afternoon. I'm approximately 95 miles away from my goal for the year.
I broke 1400 miles today! Weather is supposed to be nice the rest of the week. I'm working all weekend so no long weekend ride to put me over the top but, that's okay because I should be over 1500 miles in the next week or so.

World Meet Ms. Grizzly

Gaven's new kitty is named Ms. Grizzly. She's very cute (we hope she's a she), very adorable, and very sweet. She has the longest eyelashes which are WHITE as are her whiskers. The rest of her looks very much like a grizzly bear according to the kids, thus the name.

I turned 33 on the 23rd. Don't feel older just still here :o)

Yesterday we went to court again over the whole thing with B.G.C. He got a continuance until the 22 of October. There aren't enough bad words in my vocabulary to describe what I think of him! Lousy bastard! He didn't even have the decency to come into the courtroom but instead hid downstairs. Bob took the day off to be there so that he could hear him plead guilty instead he opted out and asked for a continuance through his lawyer...I'm certain he saw us walking in and knew Bob had taken the day off to hear him take the plea and have to say he was guilty. It aggravates the heck out of me. I bet he will keep getting it continued until after Christmas otherwise he won't be able to be around her grandkids during the holidays.

Yeah I am a bit angry.

Fun Times at Stanley's

Last night we went to Lord Stanley's. It was a good time, my brothers came out, some of our friends showed up. I ran out of pictures on my digital and didn't want to delete any of the pics that were already on there so there are only a couple of pics.

I think I'll go for a ride today.....

The last bit of summer sun is calling my name.....

Went out with the bike club this morning. It was gorgeous out. Not too hot, not too cool, not too windy but just enough wind to make us work.

Karen and I broke out early away from the group...we cruised into Kirkland doing 24 miles an hour. We were moving! It was fabulous! Felt good!

On the way home we rode with June and a group of the others who rode a little slower than we had on the way in. Our average speed for the ride was 16.88 mainly because we slowed down a lot on the way back. Point though is that we cruised pretty close to and even over 20 mph almost the whole way to Kirkland which is a 16 mile ride.

So, 32.62 miles this morning...that puts me at 1356.56 miles. Only 143.44 miles to go until I've reached my goal. Tomorrows ride is 40 miles so after tomorrow morning I'll be right around 100 miles to go to hit my goal for the year! WOOHOO!

Great stuff. I'm going out again tomorrow morning for a Birthday ride!
