show me the love!

i know i keep saying it, and perhaps now it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, but yes. i do suck at this blogging thing. but at least i know that i shouldn't find a job where i have to update things on a regular basis....

oh wait. right. but maybe that's why i'm not good at it for my personal things...? because i do it all day at work? i'm going to go with that.

also, since i posted my new fundraising page on FB today that has a link to this blog, i figured i should at least do a bit of updating for what's been happening the past 3 weeks.  in short, nothing exciting. HOWEVER, i have been getting back in the saddle (ho ho ho i'm so funny!) and gearing up for this May...whoohooo!

things that help? the random 70 degree weather in january/february.

another pretty day at the park... 

things that don't help? krispy kreme doughnuts. (and mark's KK doughnut bread pudding.... yeah, you read that right.)

mmmm...."we can help you". lies, all lies!

on those not-so-pretty weekends, though, i've been heading to spin class... last saturday was torture. 2 hours...new wave 80s remixes...no windows...sitting. spinning. 85 rpm. no, don't get out of your saddle. stay seated. THE ENTIRE TIME. MOVE YOUR LEGS. TORTURE!

and then mommy needed a hamburger like nobody's business. (side note, i really actually JUST TYPED "handburger"....wow. that's embarrassing.) even though it was horrible, i know i needed it. but spin class is getting to a point where it's like running on a treadmill for me... i find myself spacing out and drifting off, almost to the point of...ok, actually falling asleep (this should surprise no one who knows me), so i can't wait to get back outside. and as much as i keep saying i'm not ready for it to be warm yet (because where was winter? NOT IN ATL.) i'm ready to be back outside on my bike and not in 3 layers of clothing.

anyhow, valentine's day is next week and i don't really "believe" in this "holiday" (not because i'm bitter, but really... where did it come from? adam - i'll wikipedia it. or you can tell me later) BUT... if you care to show me you LOVE ME... please do it in a monetary format on my fundraising page ... pretty please? every little bit helps!

in return, i'll ride an extra mile or two for every dollar you put up. and i won't cheat. promise.

xoxo
