Bridget Jones Goes to the Car Wash

This wind is starting to cause problems outside of bike riding - as if that hasn't been bad enough!

I've been driving lots of people around lately to bike rides in my car because it can nicely fit 4 people and 4 bikes.  It has gotten ridiculously dirty, so I thought I'd wash it today before loading it up again in the morning with people.  I went right after work and had on a full knee-length orange skirt.  I first had to hop out quickly in said skirt with my vice grips and ratchet to pull the bike rack off my car so I could take it through the wash.  I noticed it was a bit windy when I was doing that, but I managed okay.

After I drove through I drove up to a vacuum station and hopped out to put the rack back on and to vacuum my car.   And the wind blows again.  Gees.  My hands weren't exactly free to keep my skirt down, but I don't think it ever got too bad (at least I'm telling myself that).  Then I start to vacuum and again the wind just keeps blowing and blowing and blowing.  Gees.  I wonder how many people I've given a show by this time.

And if that wasn't enough, I go in for the best move of them all...I was done with the vacuum so hung it back up on the little vacuum holder thing, but the time hadn't run out so it was still going.  No big deal.  I am standing in my driver door leaning in my car cleaning more things with my handy little Windex wipes and am annoyed the wind is blowing yet again.  Then....yes...half my skirt is in the vacuum in the back.  AWESOME.  I have to climb back out of the car and fight the vacuum to get my skirt back.  I looked around to see who all had seen this nice little show and no one was blatently staring, but I'm sure plenty saw some or all of it. 

I guess the lesson learned is to not wash your car right after work...

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

Still here. Still infertile.

Sigh.  Here we are again.  We knew all along we would be able to start the process for baby #2 when Sloane was nine months old.  I had said we did not necessarily want kids that close together, but knew just because we started then did not mean we would get pregnant then.  If I had only known how true that is becoming.  Silly us had started having visions of three kids.  The only way we can have three kids is to have things go smoothly, not lose embryos, and not lose time.  Well, so far we have lost an embryo and a lot of time in the quest for our next baby. I breezed through prep for our transfer in early May.  The stress load was so much less than before because I thought we had it figured out.  We had Sloane as a great distraction.  My lining was better than it has ever been before - by far.  Then, the day after Mother's Day, I found out it did not work.  And I was immediately thrown back into the depths of infertility hell....
