space case

so the past month or so my head has been anywhere but in the game and perhaps as someone so eloquently put it... very far up my ass. i'm not sure what my deal is but i've been having a tough time getting geared up for this years tri season. today may have been a turning point though.. and i hope to god it is. perhaps its post holiday crap syndrome.. (i just made that up to feel better..)

i did order the TRX system (google it) and i'm pretty excited about that. i'm thinking of making a switch this year (see maybe i AM ready but just lagging a bit..) from golds (ie the warmest pool this side of the Mississippi that is often swarming with old people and swim classes...) to the morrisville aquatic center. its cheaper and i THINK they always have 2 lanes open for swimming.. need to check on that.. BUT during the summer that would mean swimming outside.. which i think is fantastic.. (the outside part, not the swimming..) but they also have a small gym should i need the treadmill or more traditional weights thru the year.. and while the kid quota might be on the high side, i do believe they are all tethered to the shallow end...

on a more humorous note - at least in my mind... we went to bonefish for dinner last night and had left 2 pieces of pecan pie sitting on the counter to serve as dessert (home made pie!).. anyway upon returning home.. i discovered the pie tin and foil on the floor, both of which had been licked so clean that i think a layer of aluminum might have been taken off as well.... buglers? nope. once again its our (not so much anymore) favorite canine at her best. if we add up the things she has eaten in the last 5 days, the list might look something like this : 2 gu wrappers, 1 full chocolate gu, one bag of chocolate chip biscotti (though she did leave the paper bag), 1/4 pecan pie, a banana (my fault for dropping it on the floor) but who knew a 65 pound dog could have the cat like reflexes to grab it and swallow it whole before the words "oh shit" could even form on my lips... and yet she has not been sick. must be her iron stomach.
