Bicycling

     Weird Sightings:  I had one today…..a man riding his bicycle in the rain, in his BATHROBE!  Of course, cycling outfits do not have to be the equivalent of red carpet outfits; however, I think this might be considered a fashion felony by Bicycling Magazine.  Hopefully he had skivvies on; if not, I suspect some folks might have been inappropriately flashed today.  He looked happy though, so who am I to sound like a hater. Footnote:  I had to improvise a little on the picture.  I wanted to stop and take a picture of him, but I was afraid he might kill me and throw me in the trunk (with his bicycle).

Kayaking

         On a girls’ trip to Wisconsin, we decided to go on a kayak trip down a lazy river.  We were floating along singing, “The beautiful the beautiful river”……and before I could belt out, “Gather with the saints at that river”….I noticed Shirley’s shoe floating by.  Turning around, I realize that she had flipped her kayak.  She had this awful panic stricken expression on her face, and I unsuccessfully did my best to get back to her.   I did manage to take a couple pictures of her as a stranger helped get her and the kayak to the shore!  At this point, she actually looked like she could have had a starring role in a B rated zombie movie.  Some kayakers count capsizing as among the most memorable and ultimately fun experiences on a particular trip; I now understand why!  Obviously, what happened on the river, did not stay on the river!

Spring Break

        I am so glad Spring Break is over….said no teacher ever.  It looks like I will be setting my alarm tonight!  I might set my wake up alarm to the Jaws theme song!

Password Time to Change it AGAIN

          I absolutely cannot keep up with my passwords! AND about the time I think I finally have a few memorized, of course, it is time to change them again.  This is when I keep getting, “You have already used all your grandkids names, idiot!”  or “Really, you are actually going to use your birthday!”  UGH…..”Once again your password will not work, Brenda.  You must include:  a symbol, a number, a hieroglyph, a gang sign, an inspiring quote, a poem that you just wrote, a picture of your favorite animal using only characters on your keyboard, oh, and go ahead and throw in an uppercase letter while you are at it.”  This is just way too much to have floating around in my brain.  Hopefully I am keeping hackers from getting all up in my business.  Hashtag this:  How does 1234 sound to you?

Spring Pedicure

        Spring is in the air and it is time for a little foot pampering. This is that time of year when women quit wearing closed shoes and/or boots. This might come as a shock to men, but at this point, most women have….well shall we say 7-11 feet. You know it is time for a pedicure when you can exfoliate one foot with another. I just recently had my first “time to shed my shoes pedicure”…..it was wonderful! However, the exfoliating scrub on my legs did not last as long as I wanted it too….probably because I did not pay for the Spa Special Fruity Tuti Not so Cheap Pedicure. Footnote: I don’t care how cold it is outside tomorrow, I am wearing my flip-flops to show off my pedicure. No, that is not really my foot in the top picture.

Yoga

          My grandson, Cross, was born with his legs up around his head, and he was perfectly content to keep them there. He looked like he had been practicing yoga in the womb and was really good at it.  He was so flexible that with ease he could do the Reclined Spinal Twist pose.  Swaddling him in his baby blanket was like trying to swaddle a baby orangutan. I came across this adorable puppy picture recently and guess who he reminded me of?  Yep, Cross!  Footnote:  Cross’ legs are no longer up around his head….they are now straight down and running full speed ahead experiencing all life has to offer.
