I’ve decided that I’m not going to call it “busy” anymore… just active! lol
Last weekend was the celebration of my grandfather’s 97th birthday. I made him a cake that looked like his cowboy hat that he wears to church every Sunday. I’ll post a photo soon. Most of our extended family came up for it, so it was a great time of visiting and catching up with everyone!
This past weekend Jack rode in the Tour of Dallas bike ride. 20 miles! I’m so proud of him! I’ll post photos later once I get them off the camera. I was supposed to ride too, but had some mechanical issues. Instead I was his personal SAG vehicle. :o)
Later that day we took the dogs to the off-leash dog park (which is becoming a daily thing), and since I didn’t ride that morning I decided to walk them to the park! It’s 2.05 miles… gulp! Cool thing though, I bought the Nike+ sensor thing that you can put in your tennis shoes and it feeds information about your walk to you iPod. I don’t have the Nike shoes, but there’s all kinds of ways to use it with other shoes too. When I plug my iPod into the computer it uploads my walk/run information and keeps track of it online. Cool, huh? Even cooler is the little avatar thing that I can put on my blog so that YOU can see how far/fast/etc. I’ve walked/ran and keep me accountable! Right now she’s on the right sidebar, down towards the bottom. Check her out, my mini me is pretty rockin’!
This month is going to be super, super ACTIVE!! Next weekend is Easter and we’ve got family egg hunts, and more. The next weekend we travel to Houston and Austin to drive a SAG van in the BP MS 150 bike ride. Monday, April 20th we’ll also be in Austin for the Cyclists in Suits lobbying day at the Capital. Then there’s a soldering class I’m helping out with. Then the next weekend (the first weekend in May) is the Sam’s Club MS 150 in Dallas/Fort Worth where Jack is HAM’ing, and I’m helping with the rest stops! Whew! So basically, if you don’t see me, don’t get responses to emails, etc. during the month of April, don’t send out a search party just yet! lol
Today, I’m chilling out at Panera Bread, taking advantage of their free wi-fi while waiting to go to my doctor’s appointment, then heading to the office after that. Also working on a new website for Jack, but more on that later.
Lots of stuff for “later!” So I’ll definitely be posting again real soon!
