It’s a great day, blue sky with white puffy clouds so we decided to take a bike ride on the trail today. We spent some time strapping the bike rack on to the car and mounting the bikes. Man, I hope there is an easier way to do this. Then the bikes hung wider than the car and you need to be careful not to cut too close to that side of the car. But after conquering these obstacles, we had a good time riding to Puncho N Lefty’s for lunch and a beer. It’s the longest ride we’ve done so far and we were both tired in the end and had to spent the afternoon resting and napping.
While Leo’s snoring away next to me (hee hee), I fixed a few things in WordPress and was able to setup email posting and finish porting the email from gmail to the macbook. Still can’t decide which email to be my main one, gmail, me.com or my own site. Maybe the one that’s the easiest to keep a local copy of all my email would be the winner in the end. Gmail has lots of features and tons of storage and you can access it anywhere that you have internet but it’s on someone else’s server and not so private. Hmm, what to use.
The Olympics is in full swing and I’m glued to the TV like thousands others every night staying up too late. The thing that amazes me is the determination and motivation of these athletes in their process of training for the competitions. I compare my own inability to stay motivated and to grit my teeth through my own meager training sessions. It takes days and calls from the trainer to get me back to the gym for another session while these people go everyday for much more grueling training sessions for hours and hours. What determination and courage and perseverance!!!
More and more every day I feel lucky to be doing what and when I like to do . Having a wonderful husband is certainly one of the reasons. BTW, it’s our one year anniversary yesterday. He sneaked home at lunch time and brought roses and a card when I took Benny out for grooming. He’s such a sweetheart. I can’t say how much I appreciate having such a wonderful person finally in my life. I still love to do web stuff, getting wordpress to work was very satisfying and having an iphone to play is so much fun too. I’m so blessed!!
