Four Months...

It's been four months since I've last shared anything here. Back in February or March, the Blogger went through some changes that really pissed off my office computer. The PC here is a crotchety old thing that still runs an archaic browser along with all kinds of other obsolete software that isn't compatible with most of the Internet browsing world. When Blogger made those changes, I couldn't access anything. I couldn't even log in. I don't usually do much in the way of blogging from home, so while my "work" productivity may have improved marginally, my blogging productivity came to a grinding halt. Meh.

Well a lot has changed since Valentine's Day. For starters; I made the IT department install FireFox onto my computer. Now I can see more of the Internet than ever before and I can even access my blog again. FTW. So to celebrate the resurgence of my Internet and the coming of summer, maybe tomorrow I'll share some pictures from the last few months to get you up to speed.

Try to stay cool and be safe... it's 100° out there today.

Saint Valentine's Day 2012

Sneaking around, rushing it, making sweet treats for the ones we love...Doing our best to draw up some crafty cards complete with cartoon characters and multicolored hearts and daffodils and heartfelt sentiments...

Getting dressed up after preparing a tasty Mediterranean style dinner and then indulging on a heart shaped desert (made with Love by KPD soon to be S)...

Rockin' the sugar high, melting faces, composing songs about Love, Love, Love.

Doing our best to make sure that the ones we hold most dear feel extra special on Saint Valentine's day. Thankful to be having such a great night out, right here at home.

Better Late Than... Whatever.

Despite battling sickness, last week was pretty good on the bike. I finally, I took advantage of the freakishly mild weather and fired out for a lunch ride early in the week. Wow. It's been months and I had forgotten how therapeutic and fun it can be to ride my bike in the midst of my work day. The Wednesday night ride, was a lot better for me than the last several had been. Ron and Mike still slapped me around, but feeling half decent on a hard ride is a more than welcome change. I could even see them at the top of a couple climbs. Win(sorta). The bonus is that I was in shorts and arm warmers for a late January night ride - so maybe the weather had something to do with how I felt. Whatever it was, I'll take it.

I was on the bike Saturday and Sunday with Kim, so that's four out of the last seven days. In my world, that's a pretty good stretch. I've got a bike and a kit in the car today and the view from my office is bright and blue. The National Weather Service thinks this week will be a good one, and I've got slightly more motivation that I've had all winter. Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to harness it and have another "good" week.
