Manicures and bike work.
I can't reset my groupo and derailleurs. Right?
Me? On TV?
So, I guess I'm going to get my 15 seconds of fame Monday. I'm doing a spot on KCTV News between 5am and 8am on the bennefits of swimming for children. Exciting, eh? So if you're one of the two million people in the metro, tune on in.
Dammit. I guess I better wax my eyebrows and fill my nails, eh?

Still Truckin
Yeah yeah yeah. I'm alive. I've been incredibly busy with work. Then got sick. So, I took a couple weeks off of training. It was ridiculously stupid. I could have taken off only half the time, but oh well. I've been training hard since last week again. Looking forward to a ride with Andrea tomorrow. First time we've rode together since 2006. I'm sure she'll put a hurtin' on me, but that will be okay. We have all morning to hurt. We both have 3:30 in the saddle to accomplish, so it's nice to pair up with someone.
I've made some changes to this year's racing schedule. No Redman, probably no Steelhead. But I'm adding in a Two Mile Open water race in August. I've never done and OWS race as a stand alone, and the winner gets a kayak. Sooo, I'm going to try to go somewhere near the 50 min mark. I'm not sure if breaking 50 is a possibility, but I'll give it ago.
Other than that, I'll do a couple extra local races. I will give it my all, and try to be a short distance racer when it comes to triathlons the last half of the summer. We'll see where it takes me. Like Coach Lady said, "It might not be what you really want to do, but that doesn't mean you get to half ass it."
Well said.

Playlist Update
I've been in a different mood lately. Pms, likely, but the Twilight soundtrack is so sweet and amazing, it makes me want to snuggle my hubby. :)
So, I've added that.
Songs 42-53 are the Twilight soundtrack, plus one, Claire de Lune by Debussy. It's in the movie and I had to add it.
Oh, and Rob Pattinson has his first recorded song- number 51 (Never Think) and MAN does it tug at your heart.

I've Been Bitten
If you are friends with me on facebook/twitter, then you know there's some WRONG with me.
I am OBSESSED.
Last week a rented a handful of movies from Redbox, all of them I had heard at one point that they were GOOD, but I didn't think I'd ever watch them all. Wednesday I left work early and went home to get some work done around the house. I walked thru the door, and dropped my purse on the table. The contents of course made it unstable, and everything spilled out, including my now over due movies. Damn, I thought to myself, those need to go back. Oh, well, hey, here's the one I haven't watched. Might as well get my money's worth... I put the DVD in the player, and climbed on the couch.
Two hours later, I sat, open jawed and wide eyed. I blinked at the tv screen a few times, digesting the movie. Then I went thru the special features. OMG. To hell with it. I started the movie again.
I've been gushing since then to everyone who will listen about this movie. And those that will even pretend to listen. Then, my sister in law, an author in LA, sent me this link. The, um, stolen book.
I keep hearing that the set- four published books in all, with the "half book," are even better than the movie. I'm not going to try to go buy just one, so later this week I'll go get the whole set. ... I should probably call and reserve one...
Last night, I was again spewing the obsessiveness to the latest victim, Chrissychriserton. "I know, I know. It sounds like some dumb teenage highschool vampire story. Lame, I know, but I can't even put into words how amazing this storyline is. The movie is phenomanal and the book that I read is unbelievable (and I read ALOT). I can't wait to read them all, and I already have the date for the next movie." Chrissychristerton agree to re-rent the movie last night.
I turned to her, at the end of the movie, and saw the look on her face, the same as mine just three days prior.
She turned to me, "Play it again. Twilight is the best movie I have ever seen in my entire life."
All I had to do was press Play.
