SO here are the latest pictures of our motorcycles!! It is hard to tell from the distance but John's has the COOLEST paint job. It is really sharp -looking. Mine has a little pink paint added for accent and some new chrome.
Just thought you might like to see them!

Three weeks and counting....

So, I finished the 15K in 2 hours and 25 minutes.Not bad for an old lady! The Mini is in three weeks and I am looking forward to it more every day. I am really proud of myself for sticking to it this far. Any of you who really know me , know that I am not the most ........persistant person when it comes to healthy habits. I tend to start strong and fizzle after a while. I kind of did that with the walking but somehow have managed to do pretty well in the training sessions and have no doubt that I will finish the Mini.Granted, I won't WIN, but I never intended to. Just finishing will be enough for me.
John and I now have all of the "pieces" of our motorcycles together after a winter of painting and chroming and adding all sorts of little accessories...mostly to John's but mine has a few new toys as well.Can't wait for nice weather to come and stay so we can get some miles in. I have a friend who is also new to riding so she and I may have some adventures on our own this summer! Look out!!!
I am thankful as I can be that our friends, The Toy's, in Tennessee are safe after a MAJOR tornado hit just blocks from their home.Lots of devastation and two deaths. They are still cleaning up but they are safe and well. I saw the pictures online and it is unbelievable.
That is my update for now. For those of you who are looking for more, refer to the title of my blog and don't say I didn't warn you!!! This is a good as it gets!
Later!

Not much to talk about, but......

So, here it is April and I have had very little to blog about.Don't say I didn't warn you at the beginning of this blog business. I really don't have much of a life.
Since we last blogged, there has been illness in our house, so I won't bore you with the deets of mucous and things coming out of the other end.Suffice to say, we are both better and all types of leakage and excretion has pretty much stopped.
Saturday is the last of my training sessions for the Mini-Marathon~~~~ 15K this time (9 miles, for the non-metric of you). The weather is supposed to be wonderful so I am looking forward to it.I hope it holds out and is actually 61 degrees on Saturday.
We have taken a short motorcycle trip.A couple of weekends ago we went to Delphi!!!! I SAID short! Looking at new cars and visiting friends.It was great weather and a fun ride. Then we got sick...oh,well,trade-offs!
Honestly I can't come up with anything else to tell about. Sad,sad life I have.Hopefully summer will bring something to talk about.Vacation to Gettysburg in July.THAT will be fun! Indy 500 next month as well as the Mini-Marathon.Motorcycle charity rides coming up starting next week.So,see, I will have a little bitof a life for a while :)
Until then.....later!

Poor kitty~~~

So,yesterday, I had the terrible task of taking our 9 month old little girl kitty to the vet for her laser declaw and spay. I know..I know...it is a barbaric practice. I apologize to those of you who don't agree,but it had to be done.She is a TERRIBLE scratcher and is shredding the furniture in our house. We are getting new furniture in a few weeks and I will not have her destroying it. In addition, I found out she was in heat.Eeeewwwwww..... Apparently, it is a more expensive procedure if they are in heat when you have them spayed. Something no one tells you until AFTER the fact.Anyway, she got me back when I brought her home today by proceeding to bleed from her foot all over the tan and off-white carpeting in the hallway and our bedroom. SO I spent until 10 am cleaning up blood from the carpeting. While I was on my hands and knees scrubbing in the back hallway, my husband came home and was kind enough to holler "Hey , there's blood all over in here!" Uuuuhhhhh,thanks...... but the good news is Miss Cubbie is fine and "glad to be home" according to my husband. No more bleeding and she is eating like a pig. I'll post some pictures of our animals someday. As soon as I figure out THAT technology.....
Later!

Update on Nothing

So, I always get aggravated at my friends when they don't update their blogs and I have nothing to read at work, so I am updating mine to give my friends something to do.
Let me get you up to speed......
Nothing is happening in my life right now.
You are now up to speed.

So I just finished the first of my training sessions for the Mini. I felt really proud when crossed the finish line. Even if it was only 5K, I feel like I'm on my way and can't wait til the next one on the first Saturday in March.
It was a really cool day. Lots of people and everyone was really excited and enthusiastic.It really was contagious.The weather couldn't have been better. The sun was out and it was in the 50's.
It was a great day.
Tonight we went to my husband's sister's house and met our new great-niece, Elly. She is almost 3 weeks old. I held her all evening and she slept "like a baby"!
Great day!!
More later
Carol
