(Strangely, this song is stuck in my head today.)

“Don’t push me cause I’m close to the edge,
I’m trying not to lose my head, ah huh-huh-huh.

It’s like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
how I keep from going under…”

Dear George W. Bush,

Never in your wildest dreams are you going to believe what I have to report today. No, I didn’t drop another pound. And no, I didn’t complete the Gold challenge yet. But get this: the Sisters (or ‘nuns’ as you like to call them) BOUGHT ME A BICYCLE! It’s true! So now I don’t have to continue riding the 15-year-old mountain bike that I received as a college graduation gift, the one with loud squeaky breaks and a flat tire. Wasn’t that sweet of those ladies? I know!

Anyway, I won’t continue to bore you with my boring old workout update. Just know that I’m adding ‘biking’ to the list of workout activities in my online log, so you should see more progress when it comes to my fitness. I promise to keep you posted as things pick up for me, as I know how interested you are in seeing me get that gold medal and all.

TTFN,
ITChick & Fitness Fanatic

P.S. Any ideas on a name for my new bike? She needs one… I’m at a loss.

As of today, I’m tickled pink to report that I now have 6 active clients outside of my regular job—the one that happens to be coming to a grinding halt within the next several months. Woohoo! The list includes an arborist, retreat center, life coach, grant fund non-profit, religious community, and a university conference. In fact, the external work that I’ve picked up has increased to the point where I don’t have time for an actual ‘life’ a good chunk of the time, yet I somehow manage to keep a balance going on. Abeit teetering.

Obviously I was not in the best of moods after writing that last blog entry. But I wouldn’t have been honest if I’d posted something cheery with all that churning going on in my head. Yet look at what came out of it… Blogger Siblings! What a thrill to be starting a new list of ’sibs’ here on my blog. Check it out on the right –>
(Big thanks to Pam, Kristi and Jenna for stepping up to the plate.)

And here’s something else that made me smile today: a photo of Smokie looking for the bottom of a Diet Coke box.

What exactly is she thinking?
