I have recently gained a new person to stalk blogging friend, known to her readers as Weaselmomma. She and I have crossed paths in comment sections over at Nuclear Family Warhead and Joeprah, but other than our eyes briefly meeting across a crowded cyberspace, we never really had a conversation. Until the last couple of days. After we mutually stalked each other visited each other’s blogs, we came to a realization that was confirmed via e-mail: we live no more than ten minutes from each other. Small world, right? The distance between us–or lack thereof–made it necessary for Weaselmomma to bring something to my attention: she is currently “up” over…

I’ve Got a Hot Date With An Old Bag on Monday.
That’s it. I’ve decided I’ve had it. Or, to put it in the more dramatic way (my family is used to this), “I’ve given all I can give.” YES, I actually said that once, in the company of family members, out of total and complete despair. (Julie will verify.) This time? Gas prices. I’m done. Starting Monday, I will be riding my bike more. How much more? Alot. Which is not saying much. You would think that, as a Tiara-wearing Spin Princess, I would be an avid bicycle rider, outside in nature and stuff. Wrong-o. Although I enjoy the occasional leisurely bike ride with the family, in the neighborhood and…

Though Our Team Ran Like a Well-Oiled Machine Only At Season’s End, THIS Machine Worked Properly On Day One
Lacrosse season is over, and now it’s time to turn LAX into RELAX. (Whew!) Although our JV team finished the season in last place with only one win, the final two games were proof that over the past 10 weeks they finally learned how to work together. The difference from their first games was night and day. I absolutely loved watching the games, and the fifteen-year-old not only learned alot but had fun, too. He had a great attitude about their record, and just kept trying his best. I videotaped two games, but the fifteen-year-old is not thrilled that I’m even showing them to the grandparents eventually since they were…

You Spin Me Right Round, Baby Right Round…
For optimal enjoyment, click “play” before you start reading. Unless you can’t read and enjoy music at the same time. I received an e-mail a while back from one of my lovely readers, asking about spinning/group cycling. She was considering taking some classes and wanted to know what she should (or would want to) know ahead of time. When I replied to her, it occurred to me that there might be other people out there who might be able to use the information, so I decided to edit my e-mail a bit and post the 4-1-1 here. If you have never tried a class before but always wanted to–or maybe…
