So, I have been missing in action. It has been on purpose. Mostly because I'm debating over taking a long hiatus from blogging for a while. For a lot of reasons. I still stalk most of your blogs (as I am sure you know thanks to sitemeter)! Gotta love it. I have also been debating over making my blog invite only so I can control who is reading it even though I also know that already too. But, that doesn't seem right either. I haven't decided what I'll do. However, for now, I am on facebook - ALL THE TIME. So, leave me a comment if we haven't connected yet on FB so I can stalk you on your Blog AND Facebook :) Ha! Only kidding...well kind of. :)
But, in the meantime, keep an eye on Amy's blog. She and I are always at a lot of races together and she's having a great year.
Lastly, I am still debating over IM MOO. How do you decide something like this???

This is what happens when it rains...
I am so trying not to laugh in this one. Mostly because I was also trying to grunt like hulk too. So glad my parents taught me to be independent. I mean what else would I do when it rains?
New hairdo post highlight and brow wax...I know you are all interested.
Dinner and drinks with friend pre-highlight.
First sunburn of the year. Even though you can't tell...trust me.
I get bored and download pictures from the past week and consider them "blogworthy" even if they aren't, pretend to be the hulk and squeeze into a wetsuit and flex to make myself look oh so buff, and then realize something I wish I had known years ago - putting on jeans that are normally tight after having a wetsuit on makes you feel like you have lost A LOT of weight. Oh and the jeans, no longer feel tight...because as you all know, a wetsuit is way tighter than any jean could ever be. And that, is my beauty tip for the day.

In less than 24 hours. I think I'm done now. I was signed up for two marathons at one point and now I need a drink.

Mixed Bag
So, a bunch of my friends and I decided we needed to do another marathon this fall. For me, mostly because my pants feel tight and nothing scares me enough to make me get in shape like a marathon does. We all threw our hats in the ring for New York. Sadly, only 2/4 got in. I was luckily one of them. But, I am bummed as I had hoped the entire group got in...because that would be fun! My new plan is to defer to 2010 and do TC Marathon this year with the hopes they would again try to get in next year. Although that would mean three marathons in two years (ironman, TC and NY). Oy. I think after that, I am taking a break and reverting back to the 5k's and sprint tri's as just reading this makes me tired.

Intelligent Design
I knew I had a logical reason for hating these low-rise, boot-cut, flare and whatever else you want to call them jeans.

For all you music junkies...
DMB or Dave Matthews Band releases it's new CD this week. So glad they stuck it out and are still together. Would have been a major shame for the musical world if they had decided otherwise.
Check this out. It is worth your time.

It's that time of year for these to start showing up...
I think this just means summer is here. That or I need to use more body glide on my feet. Oh and as you can see, I now have a full toenail. Whoo-Hoo!
