I've been keeping this a bit of a secret for a few weeks now. It all started in early October. At lunch, I took one of my regular walks up to Target to grab a salad.

As soon as I walked through the doors, I saw HIM!!! It was LOVE at first sight! He's tall, dark and handsome! It then took me a long time to find out his real name. But, after a lot of Internet research, I figured out his true identity including his name. I also found out that he is originally from Japan.

I'm hoping for Christmas that he'll come join me in my bed! Lord, knows I've got a ton of room! I'm willing to chip in with my kids to buy him ;)

Domo-kun, I LOVE YOU!!!! heh!!! You're soooooooooo cute when you get angry! ::wink::

So, tried out the EASY section of Collonade today. Some observations:

1. I didn't see any other 44 yr. old mom's here.

2. I didn't see any other mom's here.

3. I didn't see any women here.

4. This is a guy's sport.

5. I need BODY ARMOR.

Hey, we (son and me) had a great time though. I will remember my TOOLS next time. Needed to borrow some from some other rider to fix something.

I feel totally pawned...my body is SOOOO SORE! Practiced hill climbing and all those dang switch backs. Had one bad fall and it really hurt, fell right on the top tube.

My MAJOR addiction STARTS TODAY....RIGHT NOW...it's already started!!! AMERICAN IDOL!!!!!!!!!! wOOt!!!!!
