I'm really frustrated!!

Since returning to school after Easter I have been trying to update my blog with some pictures from the holiday. I'm banging my head against the wall right now in frustration!!!!

About a month ago my hard drive was replaced, and I neglected to protect my Kodak Easy Share files and lost all of my pics that were on that program. Talk about tears!!! It's all my fault, and I have no one to be angry at but myself....but I still cried! So, I re-installed Kodak Easy Share onto the computer and downloaded my camera into it; I had not deleted from the camera a lot of pics I had on the previous hard drive, so I'm thankful for that! But I have not been able to post any of these pics now! It's sooooo frustrating! It's a new file but I'm doing everything the same, but it's not working!!!!!!

So, I'm still here, I'm just trying to figure this out. I'm also trying to create a new blog since this one dumped all my sidebar stuff to the bottom of the page............more frustration.............I have no idea how to fix this but I'm working on it!!!

Training is going well. My swim times are really, really improving. The increased strength is showing on the run and in the pool. Not so sure about the bike yet..........haven't been able to get outside on it yet. The bike trainer is driving me nuts. I did my brick workout yesterday by time only on the bike, since the computer won't read distances while it's on the trainer. Weather is supposed to turn better at the end of the week. I'm looking forward to that!

So, sorry this sounds like a gripe session. I'm just frustrated by technology and weather. Nothing I can control!!! I'm out of control!!!! I have bruises on my head from banging it on the wall!!!! Help me, or at least prepare me an ice bag!!!

Happy Day, Happy Easter!

Just a quick note to say Have a very Blessed Easter. May your families have a wonderful holiday, and may we all remember why we celebrate this day! God Bless!

Ceito now has a new set of wheels. Not the one above (I'll explain that later) I'll post a picture later. I took one, just haven't downloaded it yet. I've been working a the local hospital on Saturdays for the past few months (about 2 Saturdays per month) to be able to buy him a road bike. I have to admit that I didn't just buy him a road bike, and helmet, and shoes, and pedals.........but, I bought myself a riding partner!! WhhhhoooooHoooooo! Now, I just have to buy a babysitter!

So, it's a Fuji mid-level road bike and very sexy! I accidentally called it pretty when it was on the trainer being changed around to fit him, and that did not go over well! I quickly recovered and called it sexy, and would call it sexy again when I saw him riding it on the trainer at the shop. Yeah baby, you can pedal with me anytime!!! Sorry mom! He took it out on the road on Saturday and he said it was too windy to really get a good feel for it, but he likes it. He grins when he sees it...........I like that! He only fell off it one time, so I'm hoping that it's all over now and he'll be okay from here on out. I kept telling him before he left the house..........."please remember that your feet are part of the bike, they will not hit the ground unless you unclip them!!!!" He un-clipped, then leaned towards the side that was still clipped in..........oops forgot to tell you about that part honey!!! He's okay though, just a little embarrased. Hey, I have falled off in the middle of an intersection before, so I know what that's aaallll about babe!

In the process of purchasing Ceito's bike I got a major case of the I-want's!!! I'ts on full throttle still today boys and girls. Looks like this little lady will be working a lot more to get my tush on the ride that I now want! Cervelo P2C........I'm drooling!! So, the pic above (minus the Zipp wheels) is in the shop right now just calling my name. They have the red and black and the blue model too. I love red! This a dream bike for me and will take a ton more work to be able to pull off this purchase, but ooohhhlala is this over the top or what!! If you've never seen what I'm riding now you may not fully understand the huge jump this would be for me. I've been riding my first bike ever for 2 summers now (Schwinn Fastback) it's a good road bike, not a big name, not a super fast material, just a plain bike, and it's been good to me and will continue to be good to me. The Cervelo is just a flat out dream that may just happen if I put in the time! I'll keep dreamin' about it and that will motivate me to save for it!!! It'll probably not be anytime soon, but I'll keep ya posted!!!

Training continues to go pretty well. I have a bit of a muscle strain in the upper back. It reared it's ugly self in the pool Saturday morning, and has yet to feel much better. But, it'll work it's way out tomorrow. Biked yesterday, felt good. Ran on Saturday, felt really really good! PR'd my 5K training time.....yeah!!!

So that's all for now. Looking forward to getting a bit South this weekend to see the fam. for Easter. Hope all is well elsewhere!
