so, i havn't said anything in a while. partyly because i have been really busy and partly because it won't let me load photos and that annoys me. but this morning i just had to comment on one of the most disappointing things i have heard in a long long time. floyd landis tested positive. that is so annoying. sheesh!
lets see what else is annoying? my car has been in the shop since last wednesday and they have no idea what is wrong with it. lemon? what i am i going to do. at least i have a loaner.
lance bass is gay. that is not lame, just obvious. if you didn't see it coming then you are lame.
seamus is talking up a storm, like real serious sentences now. it is so crazy. i love to hear her say real things. she is amazing. i have so much more to say but i have to get a bunch of stuff done and wanted to express my annoyance.

huge headache
my head hurts a lot. its a tension headache i think. its been hurting pretty much since last night when i went to bed.
friday - eric asked if he could go mtn biking. since i had been gone the previous two days and will be headed out of town here again in another week or so, i said ok. i took seamus and sirus to the park for a while which was fun. when it was time to leave seamus took off running. i had sirus in the stroller and was wearing flip flops and you would never beleive how fast an almost 2.5 yr old can run when headed down the middle of a caldesac headed straight towards an intersection. boy did she get in trouble for that one. i yelled and yelled and told her we won't ever come back to the park if she does that. she just sat there and didn't say a word. i was so freaked out by the whole thing. it was terrible. ugh.
eric had also asked if he could go mtn biking on saturday. i agreed since his lover russel was in town and he and the boys needed some good man love in the woods. seamus, sirus and i took a walk to the uvillage to return some stuff and we stopped in and they both got hair cuts. they were both so good and look really cute with their new doo's. sirus got some hair gel, too which is funny. they got into their first fight, too. seamus had a balloon and sirus wanted. they were both in the stroller and he kept reaching over seamus to get to it and she kept freaking out. if she knew how to say "he's touching me!!" i am sure she would have. anyway, she was screaming and he was crying the big old crocodile tears and next thing you know seamus let go of the balloon and off it went. problem solved. everyone stopped the crying and yelling and everything was better.
sunday was the xterra. i was not really in the mood for it. i am feeling fat and tired and slow. eric wasn't so sure about it either since all of the loving from the guys the day before left him dehydrate, thrashed and 10 pounds lighter then when he started out earlier that day. he was not in good shape. but we went anyway.
the swim was twice as long as any i had done and even though the water was super smooth, a lovely color and just really nice, i for some reason could not convince myself to swim crawl. i started out and went for just a little but then started with breast stroke and kept at it. i have to get this swimming thing figured out.
out onto the mtn bike portion i was pretty excited. it was a two lap, 12 mile course that started with a big road climb. it kicked my arse. the single track was fun and the first 1/2 of the loop wasn't very technical. there was an amazing view of mt rainier and then into the woods we went. the 2nd half was a little more technical with lots of giant logs a few tricky downhill sections and a drop off right at the end. on the 2nd lap i had a total crash which was pretty funny. i was coming up to a log that i knew i couldn't clear so i clipped out, stood on my other foot and was closing into a stop. but then something got stuck in my back spoked and i went down. there i was laying on top of the log with my bike on top of me wondering what happened. as i was entering the transition area, the leaders were already done. that was a little disheartening but oh well. the run started with a pretty big climb so i walked that. at the top of the climb i saw eric coming down headed towards his finish. that was kind of neat! i started running. after a while i had to pee so bad i didn't know what to do! i was contemplating stopping just when i saw someone a little a head of me! so i kept going and passed her. then i couldn't stop because then she might pass me again! i was so close to last overall that i couldn't stop! i thought that maybe i would run the first 10 minutes and then walk for a few but i kept running - especially after i passed that lady. finally i headed to the home stretch! i was so happy to be done. i think it was one of the most challening things I had ever done. i was so tired that when we got home i had to lay down. today i am so sore. i haven't been this sore sine the first time i tried snowboarding.
here are some photos that eric sent me.

i don't want to hear that song no more
so, i just got back from la. it was a really great trip. i have a new boss now. i was pretty concerned about the whole thing but after meeting him i think it is going to be very good.
lets get back to that - its been a while since my last post so i will see what i can do about getting everyone updated and i apologize if i repeat.
my brother came for a visit. hooray! it was good to see him. we only hung out for a little bit but as always it was pretty fun. my mom was there and christie and jon came too and we all got to meet rick's girlfriend, so that was good, too.
after rick left jen came for a visit! she brought her bf brian. the last time i saw them was at the hs reunion in 2002.
here are some photos from that reunion. not of jen and brian but of some of our other classmates.
it was so great to have jen for a visit! even though it had been so long since we had hung out it was like old times, maybe even better. she is awesome. we met up with our friend goat from HS, too. he hasn't changed one bit. what a great guy! i have known him longer then pretty much anyone other then my family which is kind of crazy. one of the days luan from work took us out on his boat. it was very fun. what the hell? i am trying to load some photos from their visit but it won't let me. so lame. anyway, it was good times. jen took seamus for a ride in the convertible and seamus wasn't as interested in that as i thot she maybe would be. i on the other hand thought it was very fun. it was about 7342 degreed for their visit which never happens in seattle in june. i loved it and i now have some nasty growth on my arm that i am going to the doctor on monday to get checked out. it is the melanoma?
we got a 4.5 day weekend over the 4th of july holiday which was very delux indeed. we took the kids to my moms on friday to go swimming. one of the days i went for a 7 mile run and then another day i went on a 6 mile trail run. how fun is that? i was all amazed with myself. i slept a lot over the weekend and i sat in the sun a lot, too. it i am going to have the melanoma i better get my money's worth since my insurance will make me pay for 20% of my hosptial bill. but now i am tan - more tan then i have been since i was in costa rica. i am loving it. eric even says that my mustache isn't as noticeable any more - ya know the mustache that he told me before that he couldn't see.
we went and got some family portraits. can't wait to get them back!
on the 5th i woke up super early to head to la. i went out to get in the car at 445am and my neighbor was there standing on his driveway. he said he was waiting for the newspaper. he is a crazy man. he is going to do the exterra with us this weekend! hooray!
the flight to la was mostly uneventful except that the guy sitting next to me reeked of alcohol and shaved his arms. the stubble was growing in - arm stubble is not pretty.
we got the rental car with the Never Lost, typed in the office address and it took us a route neither of us had ever gone before. that is fine but what made it great was that it took us to the one freeway on ramp in all of LA that was closed. whatever.
i can't really remember anything else about that day except that i went to the hotel and watched a lot of TLC - real stories of the ER.
the next morning i got to meet with the new boss. so cool, i am very excited about the whole thing. hopefully i made a good first impression.
on the flight home i got bumped to first class and sat right behind smokey robinson. he is in town playing at the emerald queen casino. the lady that was sitting in the seat accross the row from him told him how she really liked it when stevie wonder was on american idol. what he? regardless, what a dumb thing to say.
the kids were asleep when i got him but sirus was so huge when i checked on him. seamus was so snuggled in her bed it was adorable and then i went to sleep.
