Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge (Page 20)

It's a 18' Tahoe Ski boat. Here's a pic of Harley making sure we don't run anyone over. Rocky was laying down in the back so he's not in the pic.

sure sounds like a nice boat, BOZ.  i betcha it looks even better.

im assuming Harley and Rocky are the dogs. 

we have a 15' open bow.

GOOD TIMES!

stacieb

nice
short
no lap counting allowed
cuz im taking a break
twenty-two
minute
swim.

i had to keep track of how long it was cuz we needed to get home at a certain time.

otherwise, i wouldnt have bothered.

swim when i want to for as long as i want to

and stop when i feel like i want to stop.

JUST LIKE FORREST.

i think i can get used to this taking a break stuff.

That is exactly what I did (about the same time as I posted the question in here) and she gave me some great advice.  We've made our reservations to stay at a cottage in Kapaa ~ I guess I'll let you know how it was when we get back!   I'm really excited as I've heard it is absolutely gorgeous there!!

I couldn't have said it better...coming from another in the same exact boat!!
I'm still working out but I have another week of just kind of playing it by ear before I start up my 1/2 mary training...it's kind of funny how our first tri season has almost mirrored each other, Stacie!!

Can't.See.Pic....
Still...I miss ours!  We left it stored in CO when we moved here but our mission in life is to get back there ASAP!!

its ok JULES.  i can miss it too, sometimes.  even WITH the letters behind my name and the certification on the wall.

i did wonder if maybe he's getting anxious about school starting in a few weeks.

the BIG BAD MIDDLE SCHOOL. 

its SCARY growing up.

scared is a feeling according to him he doesnt 'have'.

he has ASPERGERS SYNDROME.

its been tough. 

but we're on it.

We got our closing date.  Aug 20. 

THAT IS 10 FLIPPIN' DAYS FROM NOW!!!!!!!!!

Yikes.  We still have to get through the inspection on Wednesday but holy cow, I can't believe it is gonna happen.  Well, might happen.

Tomorrow I shall call and make the kids school physical appointments.  Then on Thursday (assuming the inspection goes well), I will call the new school and see when I can bring the kids in to check it out.  And get them registered.  And call an IEP meeting.  Oh boy.

This user's post has been ignored.

FUNNY.  MICHELE.

i was thinking the same thing...

considering doin' a 1/2 IM next May/June by chance?

that would be weird if you were. 

stacieb

Betcha that anxiety had something to do with it.  Big change going to middle school.  Have you guys toured the school yet? 

If you figure out how to teach him that missing common sense, let me know how, will ya?

ETA:  Why are the quotes all messed up???????  I shall make my addition pink.

HOLY CRAP THAT WAS FAAAAAAASSSSSSTTTTTTT!

fingers and toesies crossed all goes well.

stacieb

quite the list you got goin' there ms. ebshot.

lots to do.  lots to do.

heres to energy&clarity to get done what needs to get done.
stacieb

if the creek rises,
you know how to swim,
right BILL? 

J/K.

im assuming flooding.....

NOOOOOOO Stacie???  I really want to do my first HIM here in HI and since we will be leaving in Apr 2011 I am looking at one in June!  I just don't think I can get my swimming up to par so it's doubtful but it is in the back of my mind!

Michelle, you have plenty of time to get your swimming improved for June.  Hit the pool 4 days a week and you will see a ton of improvement.  Course it is easier said than done (especially with an adorable little girl) and all but you can totally do it!

No kidding!  It all hinges on what happens tomorrow.  I'm starting to stress a bit but trying not to.  No point, right?  It's not gonna change anything!

SHUT UP?!!!  (not in a shut your mouth kinda of way, just in a OMG that is SO freaky kinda of way)

that is soooooo FLIPPIN' (using Erica's word) FREAKY!!!!

we ARE on some paralell journey or something.

weird.  like im hearing the theme from watcha call it - TWILIGHT ZONE - doo-do-doo-do, going off in my brain right now WEIRD.

though.....

im a bit jealous.  NO MASSIVELY JEALOUS that you'll be able to do yours CUZ YOU KNOW YOU WANNA, AND YOU KNOW YOU WILL, in HI.

and i'm stuck here in the northeast. pllllfffft.  :P

but, manohpete wouldnt that be schweet if we were doing our first 1/2 IM (it would be your first, unless i missed something, sorry if i did....) 'TOGETHER'

the thought of doing one is ALREADY keeping me up at night.

so i get ya on the its in the back of your mind thing.

but totally schweet if our paths take us in that similiar direction.

woo hoo for you.  wee hee for me!  yay US!

and why are talking like Dr. Seuss all of sudden.

i dont know.

and why are talking to yourself.

oh.   i do that all the time.

just ask Michele. 

you get used to it after awhile.

Today is just a phone call day.  Tomorrow is the BIG day.  Full of appraisals and inspections.  It all hinges on tomorrow.  I know it will work out fine.  Just hard to believe we'll be homeowners in less than two weeks!   Good thing is, we'll have two weeks to move and clean this place before we have to turn our keys over.  Plenty of time! 

I got my run done early today.  The humidity was NASTY.  I have never sweat that much before.  I had 3.5 to do and I ran 4.    I have run more this month than I did last month!    Starting to get my groove back.  Tomorrow is a 35 minute tempo run.  Oh for joy!

I am STARVING!!!  This getting up at 5:00 is killing my eating!  I eat breakfast WAY too early and then am STARVING by 10:00.  Boo.
