Busy night tonight.

Going to a movie with my Dad. Saw "History of Violence" warning: very graphic. Like the kind of graphic that used to get rated X or NC17 before Pulp Fiction/NBK/Kill Bill kinda movies came out and ruined good storylines with more and more gore intending to repulse. I'm not saying it wasn't a good movie, cause it was. Just weak stomach be forewarned.

Then supper at a place I hate. If not for the company I would not have gone. At least I hooked up with a friend there and we stopped for one at the 19. And then to a women's dance at a place that I hate and doesn't appreciate our business. And threatening to stop accepting our business if there's not more of it. Oy vey, what a lot of bull. My friend wasn't vibing on it since this "dance" is supposed to be from 9-1am and the music didn't start until after 10:30pm. I sure hope they do kick us out so maybe it would force them to find someplace decent that actually wanted us there. Oh well.

Cold wet nose

Not that I don't love Bolder Options, cause I really really do, but every time there is a big group event it pours rain. I'm freezing right now. And because my mentee is a little less fit we couldn't even get going fast enough to warm up. Oh well. I'm a saint and that's all there is to it. We did six miles which is a little less than our normal loop but ten times the amount of hills she's used to. Hey I got new Tshirts too. How can you go wrong? Time to take a nap since I worked this morning and pretty much changed clothes and went to the ride. Toodles.

Crickets... the sound not ball game

Yeah so I'm a slacker. Do you really care? Did u even know I was gone?
Some new things. Possible girl on the horizon. Met her attending the Speed Dating event I was hosting at a coffee shop last Saturday. Cheesy line apparantly worked. =)

Biking like a madwomyn recently. St Paul Classic was awesome, even without water and the extra detours down and back up some monster hills. Hosted a bike to the movies event. Small but I still consider successful. Saw horrible movie that I had already seen but it gave me the opportunity to rip it further to shreds and find more flaws in the story/camera work/etc.

Biked last weekend with some friends. Big meeting with my Bolder Options chicka and our coordinator. Have bike ride with her this Saturday morning including volunteering before the ride at 0700 hours. Did I mention I have to work until 0430 hours? It's going to be a long morning. Then there is a Women Only Barn Dance hosted by a fellow OTB'er. It's a drive, mostly going to be country music and BYOB but my friends want to carpool and check it out. At least it starts early enough to come back to cities and go dancing or something. And Sunday morning is the Police Unity Bike Tour. 30 miles but supposed to be causal nothing hardcore.

Then of course Sunday Nite Str8 friends. And the new chicka wants to go. We'll see how that works out. Our date last night was great. Picked her a bouquet of flowers from my front yard. Hard to beat that when you're trying to impress a French Candian. She loves to sing Karoke so we went somewhere she could do that, then played a couple games of pool and ended the night on a "pleasant note". Getcher mind out of the gutter, I'm a good girl! And so is she. KBYE.

Great MN Get Together

So yesterday I got two hours of sleep in the morning and then went to pick up my coworker at work at o'dark thirty. I wanted to go to use the Park and Ride at the U of M but little did I know he's deathly afraid of motorcycles. Which until I get tabs on my last car, all my transportation is two wheeled. So another coworker dropped him off at the park and ride and we went together. Stayed until about 10am and then took the shuttle back. Came home, tried to post for ya and my power went out. Took a nap, woke up and chatted with dad for awhile, then went back to the Fair for some supper. Home after another three hours, this time much more crowded GRRR but still fun. Got to see some things that coworker didn't want to bother with.

Some facts for you:
Today in 1901 Vice President Theodore Roosevelt gave a speech at the MN State Fair. You might be familiar with it, "Speak softly and carry a big stick".

Speaking of sticks there are 864 items on a stick at the Fair.

Yesterday which was Senior Day/Thursday is traditionally the least attended day of the Fair. (No wonder I prefer it - plus I go during the day while the chumps are at work, anywho)

Have a good one Peeps!
