Vegas trip to EnduroCross

Each year the guys and I go to Vegas for the EnduroCross. It is by far the best racing around on two wheels and has replaced our annual trip to Supercross. Since I just got a new motorcycle I hatched the great idea of Mike and I riding our bikes to the race.

We left before the sun came up and made good time to Vegas so we could watch the Fri afternoon practice. Coming home we had breakfast in Laughlin then toured historic Oatman which is famous for the donkeys that just roam the streets. After that we stopped in Lake Havasu at "London Bridge", which is a bridge that was bought in London and then re-assembled stone by stone here in AZ.

Now we were running late so we had to hurry back to Mesa so we skipped lunch and rode straight to Phoenix just in time to get stuck in a freeway closure and routed thru the city streets. All in all it was fun and I got home just after dark, tired and needing a vacation.

Winter is Finally Here, Maybe

I didn't realize that it took until December 1st, before the temperature would drop below 70 degrees. The trees just started to change colors, they aren't ready to loose their leaves yet. It has been raining for 2 whole days. The weather forecaster stated there could be an upwards of 2 inches of rain. I had to laugh, as of the first of the year to current, we have only gotten 2 inches of rain. They may actually to correct.

Now that it is cooler, I can get into the holiday season. Maybe next week I will go purchase the Christmas tree from Home Depot. Yes, Home Depot, AZ doesn't have tree farm; in which, we could cut down the tree ourselves. But if one would like to decorate a cactus, we are the place to be.

I am sure many of you are feeling so sorry for me because it is finally below 70 degrees, when you are buried under snow.

I'm bringing sexy back

Happy 3rd Birthday

Wow our oldest is 3 years old. Where did the time go. The party was a big hit. The theme was kites. We had kite invites, kite decorations, kite crafts, kite activities and more kites. There were about 20 people and 3 little people.

Dinner was served with pulled pork, asian coleslaw, baked beans and rice & corn casserole. The food was to die for!! Thanks to everyone who attended making her birthday sensational. Even though she is 3 she remembers and talks about her "pardy".

A buck fifty

I did it, I did it. I am under 150 pounds. I have been at 150 for a month and a half. I have been exercising and not eating so well, see that is my problem, the not eating so well. I have a bit of a sweet tooth and like McDonald's. I am only 6 pound from my goal weight. I am shooting for Christmas to be at my goal weight. Yes, I know perfect timing, the holidays. I figure no better time than the present.

As a part of my exercise plan, I am training for a 1/2 marathon in January. I am currently walking 4 miles 3x a week and a long walk on Saturdays of 6 miles. This will gradually increase and by the first of the year be up to 10 miles. I also plan on going to the gym 3 times a week for fun.

So, the way I see it I will be at my goal weight by Christmas. I will post pictures at my goal weight.

Trick or Treat were the words of the night, along with Thank You. We went to a local church for some bounce houses and candy. Afterwards, we hit some of the streets. The pumpkin bucket was filled twice over. More candy for mom and dad!!
