Christmas is Next Week!! Seriously?!?

Well, not that I care, too much. I'm not going home and not quite sure what I'm going to do yet, but it's just amazing that December has flown by so fast!

Here's some random tidbit updates from what's been going on lately...

Me and Buhly

Melissa, D, and Jaymie

My friends Melissa Buhl and Jaymie Mart came to visit a few weekends ago. Buhly is from AZ and Jaymie heralds from Scotland, so they were a little shy in the snow of CO! Really it came about because 10 minutes after they left Melissa's uncle's house in Grand Junction, they had driven their rented sports car straight in to the ditch! haha They didn't get hurt and the rental car was fine, so, in the end, it just ended up being a funny adventure. They made it to Denver, though, and good times ensued from there. We went out dancing one night and drank and ate and then drank some more. It's amazing how much you have to catch up on after 2.5 months of not seeing each other. I had such a wonderful time laughing and laughing some more while they were here. It's too bad that we all live so far away from each other!

Totally spent after a night of dancing our asses off!!

The weekend before the crazy girls' visit, we had the CU Cycling after MTB nats party. The theme was Cowboys and Indians. James went as a cowgirl in my newly purchased $4 shiny vinyl Wranglers (thanks Longmont for having killer deals on silly cowgirl jeans!!). Bama decided that he needed to deliver the keg to the party in a wagon, so, I helped him out on that adventure. We had a great day shopping in Longmont and carting kegs around in little red wagons!!

Other than that, I've just been getting back into the gym and getting started training for next season. Boy is it hard to think about May and riding and racing when it's all snowy and crappy out here! Hopefully it melts away soon!

I hope everyone has a Merry Merry Christmas and enjoys visiting with friends and family!
