No…I am not dead

I’m just kid free for one solid week due to them ALL being at camp.  A sweet glimpse into my future this fall.

Whenever I skip blogging for large chunks of time I feel like we need to sit down, have a cup of coffee and catch-up.  That said, get your coffee…here’s what has been going on in my world.

Last Saturday was the Lifetime Triathlon.  I actually got my packet this year with virtually no problems, with the exception I could not find my ID, that would have been a problem had I not found it in the bank envelope at the bottom of my purse.

It was a GREAT day for a race.  All the planets came into alignment for me at just the right time and I ended up probably racing my best race to date.  I ended up 5th in my age group, 22nd out of all the woman with a time of 2:34:41, almost 5 minutes faster than two years ago.

Many of my Tri buddies where there and also knocked it out of the park! 

• Sleeper Cell Courtney took 7th in her age group.
• Nathan, did a great job considering her DIDN’T train.  The best part was when everyone was setting up their transition areas and Nathan is yelling, “I’M GONNA WIN THIS RACE!!!”
• Then there is Speedy Jon, he took first in his age group, son of a bitch cyclist turned triathlete, did I just say that out loud?  Great job!
• T-odd had a great race as well (read his account of the race here) but still had a hard time getting that racing top on.
• Then there is Fast Matt…he raced in the elite division this race just so he could be done early to cheer Nathan on.  Had he raced in his age group, he would have taken 1st by over 3 minutes.

I’m so lucky to have such great talented friends…nice work everyone!

Sunday was Adam’s 39th Birthday…Happy belated birthday love.

Then Monday rolled around…kids off to camp!  It is KP’s first time to camp so everyone was very excited.  As they were sitting at the breakfast table KP says, “Finally, a break from this house!”  I feel the same was little buddy.  Really, I do.

Phoebe had her last soccer game Monday night and Tuesday morning found Lou Lou dead.  I feel only slightly guilty that I wished it was dead while I was cleaning the tank the day before.  I didn’t really mean for it to die.

And today, I’m feeling a little anxiety only having two days left to get everything done that I wanted to do.  On the top of that list, shampooing the carpet.  Have you done that?  I just finished, and there is something REALLY satisfying about watching all that dirt, dust and sand come up out of the carpet.

Unless that is only how dirty MY carpet is.

That’s it…now you’re up to date.
