Evil Elves (Page 6)

So basically if I suck at running and swimming there's no hope for me?  I knew I had a great future in relays .

That middle finger smiley could really come in handy.  Get on that, would ya?

Don't hate! I promise I'll send you a picture to warm you up. LOL

As far as the running I logged 5 miles today along that sunny San Diego Mission Bay. LOL

Don't laugh! I read your inspire, I need to read more on lactate (Spelling correct?) build-up. I just don't know enough. I guess as my mileage increases this will become even more important. I'll read tonight. LOL

I learned something new today thanks Greg.

I know I'm rubbing it in but it really was nice today in San Diego. I think I'm going to take the motorcycle out and ride it, of course after I lay out and get some sun  

All right spokes you rock!!! 

he he, thought i would share

Is that how it's going to be. Must find a one up pic.

someone might need a "timeout"

Does that make me rumour girl?

hehe who would have thought the ferret and the dude would think alike

spread the reindeer propaganda!

I find gnomes a little freaky, too.  There's a nutjob man who built a stone house not to far from mine.  By house I mean castle.  Yes, really, a castle.  As in he believes he is the king of his castle, literally.  It even has a moat, which is actually a swimming pool, that is big in back and then encircles the castle and you have to cross a bridge over the moat to get in.  Yeah, really.  There are gnomes all over it and they, among other things about the house and its residents, make me askeered. 

I couldn't have made that stuff up if I tried, so here are a few shots of the castle.  Incidentally, I think gargoyles are cool... too bad the self-proclaimed king didn't go that route (though you can't see the many gnomes in either of these shots)!

D001 - 2007-12-02 9:25 PM  Wonder if there are pirhana in the moat.... (Did that make you feel better?) (If there ARE pirhana, and you try to swim in there.... Well, I bet it would make you swim REALLY fast.) (Whether you could outswim the pirhana is another story, of course.) Happy to help! Dee

You're such a giver!

Apparently you are not subject to the evils of Homeowner Association Covenants. I can't even change the color of my mailbox post, let alone build a castle. I had to get written permission to put a swingset up in my backyard. I hate HOAs. Rant over - but I do like the castle. Gnomes don't scare me - part of the Norwegian heritage. (In our house, we called them Tomte or Nisse...and my mom had a gazoodle of them. We even had a family of them that matched ours.)

Yes, actually in my subdivision we have very strict covenants.  The castle stands alone (kind of like the cheese) a few miles from my house... but I get to pass it on my way to, well, everywhere I go.  On the other hand, when my daughter was young enough to be into princesses she used to write letters to the king and ask me to put them in his mailbox.

Amazing how things work out so well.  

Funny, but I've passed that "point of no return" to where I want (really want!!!) to swim!

Did my first December swim this morning: 1800m (16.3% of goal). I had been planning on only 6 swims this month, but I've figured out how to rearrange the schedule a little to get in at least 7 swim. There should be no reason for me to not exceed my goal!
