2) My car has visited the shop every day so far this week and still isn't fixed!! Sigh. Without going into it, let me just say that I am not very happy right now. I give up on it this week, maybe I'll have the energy to try again on Monday.
3) After getting some nice outside rides in the recent past, I'm back to truly dreading the treadmill. It is soooooooo boring. Anyway, squeaked out 2 miles Monday and 3.2 miles today. Both times, it was a mental challenge, but I got it done.
4) I don't know why, but I'm starting to become obsessed with the color orange. My scooter is orange. My cool weather scooter jacket is orange. I recently bought an orange tank top to run in. I've been looking for an orange HeadSweats hat (I don't think they make that color though...boooooo). I want a running skirt with orange in it. OhMyGosh OhMyGosh OhMyGosh!! Today I just discovered that Runningskirts.com has one that is navy and orange *and* is on sale while supplies last until Monday. That might be too good for me to pass up...5) We leave for Hawaii in 10days or something like that. Need to start packing this weekend.
Orange is a good color for friends and relatives to look for as the sea of faces passes in a race. Enjoy Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteOMG you are going to Hawaii in a week and a half and you can think of ANYTHING else?
ReplyDeleteExcellent news about the skirt :)
LOL! Orange IS a nice color :-) Can I go with you to Hawaii? I don't eat much, talk much, or take up much room :-D
ReplyDeleteEnjoy that skirt. Sorry about the car.
ReplyDeletePaint a room orange! I just broke down and did my dining room and I'm in love with it!
ReplyDeleteI've bought some orange shirts recently too! Too bad on the car situation. I sure hope it gets fixed very soon for you!
ReplyDeleteHawaii-land of the orange flowers I think! You lucky, you..
ReplyDeleteI like the color orange! It's nice and cheery :-) Hawaii?!? Ohhhhhh dear I am SOOO jealous!
ReplyDeleteIt's probably the influence of my orange blog! :D My boys all love orange to death (probably because it is grandpa's favorite color!)
ReplyDeleteOmg, you pack a week ahead? You are my hero.
I love orange too...GO VOLS!
ReplyDeleteHowever, the vols oorange is not a very "pretty" orange, more of a hunting orange.
Pretty soon you will be able to dump that car for the scooter!
Take Care
hmm...your obsession with orange sounds familiar...like my obsession with mint green!! Orange is awesome, too. Oh, I bet the orange running skirt is so cute :)
ReplyDeleteHawaii will be a blast! Gonna do some OW swimming there?? Which reminds me...do you think a Cochiti swim is doable soon? My wets fits :)
um, that would be wetsuit, not wets. (oops)
ReplyDeleteOrange has become one of my fave colors too. Have fun in Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteI would think orange would be a good color for you! And good to wear bright stuff on your scooter. Lucky you! Hawaii! I hope to go one day too. Oh, the fun of packing!
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Hawaii!! Sorry about the car. Just think in 10 days you can leave all of your worries behind for a while. :-)
ReplyDeletei'm so bummed! we were supposed to be leaving for hawaii today and i'm still sick, so we're not going. have some fun for me, k?
ReplyDeleteI suppose the bright side about the car being in the garage is that at least you don't have to fill it up with $4.00 gas while it's in there. Yes, I'm a glass-half-full kind of guy, that's just how I roll.
ReplyDeleteOrange is the new pink, they say. HAWAII?? Yahoo! I leave for Colorado on Saturday. (But I'm not even started packing yet - that's what Friday night is for!)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Husband. Don't you love nurturing a newborn athlete?
I have done that with a color before. Like I buy a pink watch then all of a sudden I want everything to be pink. I like orange though, I think it's vibrant and happy!
ReplyDeleteTell hubby that if I can switch to clipless then I know he can. I am really enjoying the clipless now that I am getting better at it.
Cool--going to Hawaii. Maybe an orange grass skirt?
ReplyDeleteHawaii... nice! Do you really pack so much in advance?!
ReplyDeleteI like bright colors, more lively..
ReplyDeleteCool, Hawaii, now that's a vacation.
us clevelanders will make you become a browns fan.......
ReplyDeleteorange baby orange!!!
How funny! I too have this thing for what I call "crushed orange".
ReplyDeletesomeday I'm gonna get a cool bike with clip pedals. :D Way to go for hubby.
I LOVE Orange! Well, I'm a UT alum, so that's my excuse. It has to be a slightly darker shade of orange, but by no means does it have to be a perfect match. When you start painting your walls orange and drive an orange car, then you know you've arrived; I'm just sayin' :-)
