A GREAT Weekend!!

So this weekend was a BLAST. I was on my bike as often as I could. I had a couple of close calls, or what I would feel are close calls. Nothing big but enough to get my heart pumping. But I went on new roads and in new areas and I did well. I think I just have to continue building my confidence on the bike.

Dad took the windshield off my bike this weekend under Paul and Robin's suggestion just to see if I would like it. I LOVED it. I did find that I am going to have to strengthen my back and my neck muscles because the wind pulls my head all over the place. So when I rode today before coming home I really tried to hold my torso and my head still. I think I did a good job. Then again I may wake up tomorrow and be unable to move my head but hey.....we shall see what happens. lol

I also got a new pair of glasses Thursday and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I feel cute....I feel professional. I feel professionally cute. -grins- Yup...that's right. Professionally cute.

And best of all...my brother wasn't really happy with the direction of the company he was working with some he put some feelers out, got a few bites, went through a crazy crazy interview session. It was like 7 steps or something!!! I am glad I haven't had to go through something that intense.

Anyway, the happy news, he got the job today!! They called him and offered him the job!!! He will be closer to his house, which will be nice, and I think it is going to work out wonderfully. Paul is UBER talented and REALLY good at what he does. He has mad ninja skillz with his job and I am very, VERY proud of him. He has amazing people skills, people are drawn to him and I think that is a God given talent as well.

He is going to ROCK at his new job....and it does help he knows how to add the "24" ring. :-)

Congrats Paul. I am proud of you!! Love ya and have a blast tomorrow at work!

Got to ride today

Today Paul and I headed out for a ride. Little did I know how far we would go!! Paul and I had fueled up before we left so we were all set to go. Our first destination was Seacoast Harley Davidson. It was a beautiful day so we headed out and the ride was great. Not a ton of traffic except in downtown Exeter. We got what I needed at Harley then talked about where we were going next. I didn't have a clue (as usual) and was pretty happy to go wherever. Paul's suggestion was New Castle, NH and what a GREAT IDEA. I have only been there once in the entire time I have lived here. The picture above is of a lighthouse/coast guard station at New Castle. Then after that we went through Portsmouth then over to Nottingham. It was GREAT. The only downside was that my left hand was REALLY hurting from pulling in the clutch. But all total we rode about 60 miles today. A really long ride according to me but it was BEAUTIFUL. And what was even better?? Paul got a sunburn and I didn't!!! YAY FOR ME. Granted.....None of my skin was exposed today and his was but we are overlooking that minor point. I didn't get sunburned and he did. How many times can I say that? That will probably be the one and only time this year.

Mmm of the Week

Ok...Robert Downey Jr. Some people may say "Why him?" Well I think there are several very sexy things about him:

1. Just look at him. He is beautiful.
2. He has overcome huge adversities in his personal life.
3. He is an amazing actor.
4. He has a great sense of humor.

I think those are all very important but I think what impresses me the most is how he went from on top to a very low point in his life, back to being back in the game and showing that he is still a sexy, strong, amazing leading man.

Good for you, Robert!!! Strength, dillegance, and a love for your work.....THAT is sexy.

Update

So today is the second day of my vacation. I have been doing some cleaning but mainly watching stuff on demand and writing as well as reading. I am getting ready to head out to lunch here in a few minutes with a fellow case manager from a sister school. Am very excited. Will be nice to talk about stuff at work and have someone that understands.

Day after tomorrow I am heading home and I am very excited about that. There are several reasons I am excited about coming home.

1. Get to see my family.
2. I get to ride my bike.
3. Get to see my family.
4. I get to ride my bike.

And those are pretty much my top reasons. Oh yeah!!! I am working on my next Mmmm of the week. I have seen several options but am not sure yet. I am also thinking of putting up cool wedding ideas from time to time. If I am not getting married any time soon I am going to put up cool wedding ideas and pictures. Yes...I have been watching wedding shows and I am pretty sure I will be over this soon but until then you will need to put up with me. :-D

Look forward to cool wedding ideas, dresses, and fun honeymoon places. YAY!!!

And don't forget the MMMM of the week!!!

She had a dream

Naked Refrigerator Guy

Three men approached the gate to heaven and as
there was only one opening left, the gatekeeper said
that whoever had the most remarkable and worthy death could enter.
He asked the first man how he died, and the man replied,

'Imagine this -- I suspected my wife was having an affair
behind my back and I wanted to find out the truth.
I came home from work one day to surprise her and catch her in the act.
When I searched the house I found her in the bathroom.
The mirror was fogged and she had a towel on but her hair
wasn't wet, so I knew she wasn't taking a shower.
I looked all around the house to find the guy.
I found ten fingers hanging onto the window sill outside.
I pounded them until he finally let go.
When he fell he landed in some bushes and
God must have loved him because he lived, so I threw the
refrigerator out the window to finish him off.
After all the excitement I fell dead of a heart attack.'

Then the gatekeeper asked the second man how he died. He replied,

'Imagine this -- I'm minding my own business on top of my
apartment building. I was riding one of those stationary
bicycles when the screws gave out and I flew off the side.
I reached out and caught a window sill, then some idiot
started pounding on my fingertips. When I fell I landed
in some bushes and God must have loved me because I lived.
But then that same idiot threw his
refrigerator out the window and it crushed me.'

'That, too, is horrible,' said the gate keeper.
Then he asked the third man the same question.

His reply was, 'OK, imagine this, I'm naked in a refrigerator...'

Happy Easter!!!!

Robin and I went to see New Kids on the Block on Tuesday evening. It was AWESOME!!! Yes yes, I know. You say...New kids? Like.....the guys from the 90s? Like Hangin Tough? Well yeah, those guys and it was AWESOME. Now those around us...well that is a different story but the concert itself was great. They still sound awesome and look amazing. I will be putting pictures up soon but that probably won't be until Sunday night at the earliest.

So yes I am saying it proudly....I LOVE the New Kids on the Block!!!!
