Burning Ones

Someone tell me how this works…

I go away for a week on vacation. Eat some really good food, attend a leadership summit, and don’t ride my bike at all. And when I get back, I have gone back down to 267.4 pounds, after a night of eating pasta the day before! Colour me confuseled!

Well, here we are in the prayer room. I’m totally enjoying myself here. I really needed a rest and recharge. I wish I could figure out how to do this at home, but I’m sure that will come with time.

Love ya’ll!

I’ve been loosing about 2 pounds every 2 days over the past few weeks and then Jess took me to the Chinese buffet yesterday after I missed a few legs of riding due to bike breakdowns.

Well, my cadence was broken alright. At work today, I weighed a whopping 269.2 pounds! Wow!

Well, I did something today that I’m almost ashamed to admit.

If you’re anything like me, you really don’t want to do anything just because. The last thing you want to do is walk through life thoughtlessly, without being fully present. For me, that usually means attempting to make as many things conscious activities rather than unconscious motions. On to my new shame…

This morning I got to school late because I slept too late and when I went to take a shower I got undressed and stepped into the shower and suddenly realized…

I still had my glasses on!

Shocked at myself, I slowly took my glasses off and opened the shower curtain and placed them on the little bench outside the stall and resumed my shower, thinking to myself, ’“Wow, I hope I don’t make a habit of this.”

I thought I might begin to semi-chronicle my evolution into being a biker and I’m going to start today because I’ve had a phenomenal past two days on the bike.

So, reason number 1 why I like to bike so much (at least recently). You are able to go places cars are not. Yesterday, apparently, there was a massive accident on either Route 1 or I-95 that had traffic being diverted directly on the route that I take in to work. If I had been in a car, I would have been forced to detour, which apparently took some of my co-workers over an hour given the volume of traffic attempting to get across the Boulevard. However, because I was on my bike, I was able to cross the Route 1 with the blessings of the Police that were directing traffic. An hour detour turned into a 30 second crossing. That’s not bad!

As if that wasn’t good enough, the township has been working on a major artery of my route to CHC for the past few weeks (which has made the ride a whole lot less enjoyable due to the horrible condition of the road) and today they finally had to make a big push so they closed down the whole road. While cars went around to God knows where, I happily jumped onto the side walk and pedaled on past. Again, where I might have gone 10 minutes out of my way, I was able to just move on and enjoy the commute. Fun Fun!

Look for more thoughts about biking in the coming weeks, as I’m falling more and more in love with the bi-pedal commute

<p>So, Sam (my sister in law) was home tonight and began to spout rumours of the devil finally setting up his website.  It was called <a href=”http://peteranswers.com/”>Peter Answers</a> and on it you could get in touch with his spirit and he would answer questions about your surroundings.  Unfortunately, you had to ask your questions through a medium who had him or herself become attuned to the dark one through long practice, and now was the only one you knew that could ask the questions on your behalf.</p>
<p>Luckily for Sam who spent some time asking questions to the devil through her good friend at Eastern, a quick google search lead me to <a href=”http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Peter-Answers”>this</a> website, which describes quite nicely how to utilize Peter Answers to trick your friends.  A quaint little game, I think, and since I hate practical jokes like that, I thought I&rsquo;d post it up here and tell all you guys that if anyone tries to pull this on you, calmly ask him or her to let you type the questions, because you’d like to start your own alliance&#8230;</p>

Well, I’m told that the first time you get spammed on your blog, it means that you’ve started your rise to fame. So, I suppose me and Jess are on our way!

Yeah… right :P
