First Foods of the Land. And into my Tummy.

Mom Noreen-this is in no way a list of things you need to make me. It is just me brain storming about things I've never eaten that I might possibly want. The things you want to fix me are going to be great!! So don't take this as a "to-do" list. =)

Just brain storming around, I think I am going to eat a few new dishes when I can eat again. (I can eat now, but just barely)

Lobster macaroni and cheese as in the latest issue of Saveur.

BBQ-ed oysters on the grill.

Shrimp jumbalaya.

Pistachio eclairs.

This is actually harder than I thought it would be.... I've eaten soo many cool, unique, gourmet and delicious things that it is hard to think of something totally new to me....

Any ideas?? If you need help I'd go to www.saveur.com for some inspiration!

For LIFE!!

take a deep breath in, hold it. breathe. why did they ask me if i work around chemicals??

no really, you've heard this before -OR- a bad day riding? pt. 2

Remember a long time ago, yesterday, when I wrote about how a bad day of riding is better than a good day of work and/or a good day or riding is better than most everything else?

Well today was kinda a bad day of riding, but guess what? It WAS work!

Today was the day we got to see and ride most of the new 2011 models. So the first 4 hours was riding, in my case I went on the mountain bike ride. Some did a road ride.

So 17 of us went out on a mountain bike ride. Almost 4 hours later only 2 people had NOT gotten a flat tire and 4 people had to be picked up by cars. Only 5 of us completed the whole ride.

And I was one of them! Woo Hah! I got you all in check!

And then the final 4 hours of my work day were the typical death by Powerpoint work affair. Which of course also equals random doodling too.

But guess what, I got paid to ride bikes today for hours. And I won two t-shirts. And free lunch. All in all, not that bad......

t-shirt idea

if i am healed enough to do the half marathon, even if i have to slow jog it at a 10min pre mile pace, i am going to.

i think i am going to get a t-shirt made that says this down the back:

I have Crohns disease
diagnosed 1983
surgery #1 1987
surgery #2 1992
surgery #3 2000
surgery #4 2005
surgery #5 Sept 13, 2010
running NOW!

what do you think? just a simple column of block letters for the font and layout.

Ok, after some feedback this is where I am headed now, centered columns down the back:

diagnosed with Crohns 1983
first surgery 1987
second surgery 1992
third surgery 2000
fourth surgery 2005
fifth surgery 9-13-2010
running a half marathon 12-5-2010

You've heard this one before...

A bad day riding is better than a good day at work. Well today was a good day riding, so what is that better than?

This was the view from my balcony at 7am this morning. 2010, the year of the absent summer in San Diego.
The rig that get's me there! My second Taco and oh what a feeling.
What are you doing sitting around?
Get riding ya turkey!
The Ride!




What happens when you forget half your pants? Nothing, business as usual!
I think the smile answers my first question, what is a good day riding better than? Almost everything.
