Hey Folks…

Hope everyone is doing well!

I’m not sure when I’ll feel like writing a ‘"real" entry. Until then…please try to enjoy the random updates.

I don’t wanna grow up…
I received an email on Friday asking me to speak at a local high school’s geography class next week. Basically a mini-career day speech explaining how I use geography in my line of work, etc. At first I was depressed. LOL The invitation basically means I’m old now. Mom’s response made me realize that the request was very flattering and I should feel honored. Hooray for Courtney!  I had to decline the inviation due to business obligations, but I advised I would be interested in future opportunities. Pretty cool, eh? My name popped up because of my  involvement with the local ISD’s community service programs. I think I’ll forever be a Girl Scout…

Phat Camp…
3.5 months away! I’m excited and nervous. I like to push my body…and phat camp will be the most intense physical experience yet. Pray for me… 

Web stuff…
I hope to have cyclingchick.com up and running in the next few weeks. I’m thankful to have Lass onboard. My web skills are mediocre (being generous), so it’s nice to have someone that knows some thangs. I plan to forward wwdiva.com traffic and email for 3 months. After that, wwdiva will be buried. Not sure if I’ll retain ownership of the domain name…or release it for the next weight loss diva.

Bike News…
I finally purchased my road bike today! Chesty and I spent 2 hours in Richardson Bike Mart (superb service…highly recommeded). I’m so pleased with my new toy. Cycling is not a cheap sport…but it’s something I plan to do forever. After 2 years of suffering on a mountain bike (with road tires), it was definitely time to upgrade.

Details listed here…

August 26th-Hotter ‘N Hell-Wichita Falls, TX (25 miles) http://www.hh100.org/

Note: All rides subject to change…because shit happens. The MS 150 is tentative. Chesty and I are training for the event and will make a final decision in mid-March. The Hotter ‘N Hell event is known for the 100 mile course. We’re taking the smaller 25 mile route because it’s in August. In Texas. In Wichita Falls.

Hope you all have a great week! I’ll check in later…
