Random bits and pieces of stuff

WARNING: There are a lot of pictures

While biking with Nick we stopped at the Continental divide, and as we stood there trying to figure out how to tell the other that we should turn back this bike adventure hurts, we heard some snowmobilers. The sound alone was enough for Nick to launch into a rant about snowmobilers, who he, I now know, hates. Well they came up behind us and crossed the road a few feet away from where we were. For some reason there was a large group of them too, I mean since when do they don things in groups? Anyways, as soon as Nick says "They're a bunch of d**ches!" the biggest one goes by. He stops, shuts off the snowmobile and starts walking towards us. We freaked out! I was thinking "Holy fudge knuckles! He heard him!!!", just as Nick says,"Let's go South!" We headed South. Fast. The reason we went South was because it's take us away from the snowmobiler, and farther away from town. That's the reason we kept going, and it kept us from having to tell other how much pain the ride was bringing.

I felt really good the day after the bike. As long as I didn't really do anything.

I made cupcakes on Friday. They were just plain vanilla but with a surprise at the bottom. (That surprise was a chocolate chip cookie) Sadly we ran out of powdered sugar, and I couldn't thicken the frosting enough to frost the cupcakes. Instead I wound up spooning frosting onto it and just shoving it into my mouth, before it came off. Yumm

I really suck at cleaning my room. Throughout my whole life I have sucked at it. I cleaned all of the downstairs yesterday, but I can't clean my room!

I got a sweet pair of goggles and a snorkel yesterday. I am so ready for summer! And Hawaii


Yay...I know it's sideways...

Some picture's from Tuesday's track meet:

I had stolen Eddy's hat from Max. I'm not sure why Max had it... (Photo: Max)

Bay, putting a bag of melted ice on my face. We had a lot of fun playing with that bag of water (Photo: Max)

The start of my and Bay's "fight"..... (Photo: Max)


My ankle still hurts!!! I should get that checked out... Never mind  too expensive I'll just wait until my next physical or next serious injury.

Men at Work is actually funny! I didn't think that but after watching it for the past couple of hours, I've found it to be really funny!

This was my attempt at modeling. It wasn't planned, I just showed up at their house one night after skiing and this is what they wanted to do: You should check out the photographer's Facebook page HERE
Look at that sports bra! (Photo: Shoshana)

I couldn't keep a straight face! Shonna would tell me what to do and I'd realize how ridiculous I  look!
Arm muscle! Heck ya! (Photo: Shoshana)

I just realized how strange my eyes look (Photo: Shoshana)

Well I tried (Photo: Shoshana)

Hey! I finally fixed my bookshelf! Ya, one of the shelves collapsed under the weight ..But all's good now. Well not all, I still need another bookshelf. I only have one and half. you may be wondering about that half. Funny story (do you remember what I said about "funny story"?), it also collapsed  Except when it collapsed the entire bottom half was crushed. The top half came out perfectly fine though, and that's how I wound up with half a book shelf.

I finished packing! Now I just have to figure out if I actually have what I need...
Awww, Major wants to come with!

Wow, I am really tired.

HAPPY EASTER!! for the past hour and a half...

Good night (morning?)

JNQ at Mt. Itasca

Yes, I did another JNQ race, and this time it was at home. The day before the race I had a high school one. It was our first (and only) pursuit of the season and man was it a sad one. Most of the time either couldn't make it or was sick. Maggie showed up and wound up just going home. The two of us went out to do a warm up/see the course ski and after the first hill she was dying. That weekend she had an uber high fever and was just sick. I went and did the first race and just had to puke the entire time. Afterwards I did wind up puking a couple of times, and decided that I just shouldn't do the second race. Even though I was sick Friday I still decided to race on Saturday.I did the women's 5k and think I did decently. It was a tough course, well mostly it was just a tough beginning. This is what we did; the right horseshoe into the swamp loop, up the switch back climbed all the way up the way, did a loop up top, went down part of bunny hill connected to the service road,...

Breakups

Well this is a sad a post. I'm sorry for that, feel free to just skip this one. Go on, move on to another happier one. It's okay with me. Just get out of here. Go find a love story. We might as well start with Autumn and Calvin. They dated for over a year and were the first one's in our group to actually date. They made a cute couple with their every Saturday dates, and nicknames, and whatnot. We all thought they'd be the next DAndy (Dan and Andie, a couple from our school who started dating in 8th grade and are still together going into their second year of college. And yes, they go to the same college), but apparently not. Calvin started being a real jerk, and Autumn wasn't putting up with that. The rest is history. Then there was the double whammy of Bailey and Max, and Jake and I. Both in one day...ya... It wasn't planned, and neither knew about the other until later. The weirdest part is that both happened at the same time. The day started out with me a...

Timberman Triathlon

Okay, this one really is going to be short. I don't really have much to say besides what's about to be said. So....read on! First off do you know what a triathlon is? Or what the Timberman triathlon is? You don't? Let me explain then. A triathlon is where you swim, bike, and run. You're timed in each event and your transition time (how long it takes you to go from one event to the next) also counts against you. The Timberman is a triathlon held in Grand Rapids MN. It has a long course (mile swim, 26.2 mile bike, and a 10K run. But don't quote me on the bike) and a sprint course (1/3 mile swim, 13.1 mile bike, and a 5K run, but don't quote me on the bike again). It's a fun event put on every year and draws a nice crowd of people from every age and fitness level. I did the short course and this is how it went: Swim The swim was by far my worst event. I did it in my sports bra and spandex shorts (last year I did it in normal shorts and nearly lost them!...
