I have never in my life been so eager for November 1st to arrive.

I feel as if we've all just won a Gold Medal in the Special Olympics.

I feel as if I got a flat tire right before the finish line .... from the BLOCK that we got ..

In one race I was told to attack in the hills - since I was a hill climber.

As I positioned myself going up a looooooong hill to attack a few Alfa Romeo dudes rolled around me. One in front and another *right* next to me. He put his hand on my hip preventing me from attacking moving much. They blocked me the entire race. I guess the peloton was a bit tired.

That's kinda how I feel.

LOL ... but "Marines Don't Quit!" I heard that in a movie.

yup, except these guys were big and muscular. I'm a shorty riding a 49cm frame .. 130lbs to fly up a hill back then. It was obvious their intent.

So where were your teammates?

When I was younger and my siblings and I would get into some sort of trouble, or when we wanted to ask our parents for something, they'd always send me in first. "You're the youngest, so they'll be the least mad at you," they said. "No," I said, "You just need me to go in and use up their bullets so you can trample over my bloody corpse to safety!"

I started calling myself the Marine of the family.

Lunchtime any suggestions?

Lunchtime any suggestions?

My mac & cheese with chicken and jalapenos was pretty good. I have some leftovers; you want them?

ME too! I was, essentially, the youngest of 7 kids. There were 5 siblings, but we also lived right next door to two of my cousins, and we spent every waking moment together, so it was more like 7 siblings with two sets of parents. Only my cousin's parents weren't really so good at the parenting part.

But they really DID send me in because my dad would hardly ever say No to me. Mom was an entirely different story.

Yup, my dad said yes to me more often than my mother did. I was a daddy's girl

Hello, kiddos. I am on a short break from moving stuff around.

My ex (though he wasn't "ex" at the time) once stated that I was a Princess, that my daddy would do anything for me. He didn't mean it all that kindly.

My response was "And your point is??"

Well, let's get this party rollin' then!

 

[sm4him]

My boss--in fact, most of the people on my floor of the building--is at the board meeting where we'll find out whether 4B has managed to bulldoze enough board members into voting for the train wreck of a route proposal. I really, really hope it doesn't pass, but I'm afraid it will.
Then I'll have to get busy posting a bunch of stuff about it online. And I would have trouble making it sound very positive, because I think it's a ridiculous idea.

I have a new view. It happens to be the same as the kitties get.
