Update and going on vacation soon....

Okay girls - I have been madly working to get a lot of stuff done around here. Friday night I had an early dinner with KarateMan - because he has class on Saturdays and I had a big bike race. It was the State Championships for me. I picked that one though, because I love the venue and people and it is close and cheap- not that I am some sort of state champion. My only hope was not to finish last because a lot of the riders are on sponsored teams or they are full time pros. I had a great ride and finished 7th out of 10 - not bad.

Anyway, I hurried back on Saturday and DS came home - we had a quiet night.

On Sunday I managed an early ride and then cleaned the house and cooked dinner for DS and I. We went to bed early. KarateMan was calling and texting during the weekend so he gets a good boy sticker for that - he wanted to see me - but knew I had DS and so he kept himself busy around his place.

This morning DS and I had a blast getting ready for school and taking pix. I do love photography and got a great deal on a zoom camera for our vacation. I mean this thing is as cheap as one of the pocket types from the discount stores - so I am stoked. I am trying to learn how to use it - the limitations it has are that it has to have good light and can't be jiggered in zoom mode.

I let DS have breakfast with the dog - the creative things us moms have to do to get the kids out of bed!!

Anyway, KarateMan and I will get together on Wednesday for a date and then on Friday morning I am headed out of town for a week-long camping trip with DS. I don't think I will be on here so y'all will have to take over to help Alison - as you do anyway - to welcome newbies and to report any spam or TOS violation posts by clicking on "report a violation" - the constant vigilance is what keeps this board so good. Of course the best are all of the fun posts and supportive comments! Those we can't live without. :-)

Great update!


I love photography too. It's in my family.. and I did it professionally for about three years. I love the photo of DS and the dog :o)


Karateman is getting an "A" in my book for calling. He soulds genuinly interested and willing to work with your schedules and understands you are a woman with a life. Yay for that!!


Camping sounds fun! Can't wait to hear the camping stories and maybe see some pics when you return!

Have a great trip. Obviously I'm a photo person with all the posts including pictures. I got a new camera a month or so ago, a Canon digital SLR, I needed one that is good enough to shoot my portfolio with. I LOVE that camera. I had hoped that the lenses I inherited from my dad would fit, but alas they don't.

We'll be looking forward to your update, with pictures!

'at the end of the day, I need a bed..."


Hey- I'm the same way- I sleep on my side and my hips KILL me in the morning on anything hard!
