Crashes, Ice Storms and a sad day. (1/17/07)

Rode Rye with Andrew last week, and it was PACKED. I was buzzing around on my Haro Backtrail X24, and because I had dirt tires on, and was on slick cement, promptly lost traction and landed on my head in front of about 20 kids. Banged up my shoulder enough that I couldn't lift it at all for two days. That was fun!! We are heading back today to conquer some plywood. Hopefully I will make it home in one piece.

You know you have reached the pinnacle of myspace friends when you have an iguana named Angelina Jolie as your friend.

Got yelled at yesterday by my wonderful trainer Charissa. I DEFINITELY earned it, though. She is pissed that my weight is not going down, only maintaining (for the last month or so...). Obviously I need to change this, I don't want to face the wrath again! It was not fun.

Lost at poker TWICE in the last few weeks, both times making it to the final 3 out of about 8, but still not getting any $$. At least I didn't lose to Bill Kennedy.

On Monday, we have had a wonderful little ice storm here in NH. I did the day shift in fire alarm, and we did 150+ calls in about 8 hours. It was NUTS, considering in that time span we usually do about 25. I went home, went to bed, and heard the 911 line ringing in my head while I was asleep. Maybe this morning I can get out and shoot everything frozen around my yard.

One year ago today, unbeknowst to me, the worst week of my life was beginning. I stopped by my moms place, and she looked like hell and said she had a migrane. What it really was was the anurysm that eventually killed her letting go. A week later, she was dead.

I miss you mom.
