Friday Fill Ins

As this week comes to a close, I have found it harder and harder to keep myself from relishing in self pity. This week started off ok but the gradual onslaught of little things finally piled up and morphed into a big thing. I was still able to keep it together because all the little things were truly little when broken down into pieces. Anywho, I then received some startling medical news about a close family member and that was the proverbial straw. I don't want to share exactly what it all entails until I know more. I just want this week to end and start another one anew.
On a more positive note, the triathlon training is going fairly well. I focused on biking all week and was able to ride almost 50 miles. Two days a week I am only able to ride 6 miles in the morning on Tuesdays and Thursdays because Michael wants to ride with me. How cool is it that my ten year old sets his alarm clock for 5:30 two days a week to ride with mom.

1. Life is meant to take full advantage of and that is exactly what I intend to do.

2. No matter how hard this is I intend to keep going.

3. My last text message (or IM) ended in these three words: one by Tuesday.

4. An extremely fattening and high carb Italian meal is what I'm thinking about for dinner sometime soon.

5. On the 1st day of August my true love gave to me...a fireplace for the patio!

6. I am often described as lively and energetic.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to taking a deep breath and let the problems of the week wash off of me, tomorrow my plans include spending some time with my mom and celebrating my 19th wedding anniversary and Sunday, I want to start gearing up for the work week. I cannot believe how fast the weekends go.
