I know, I am a slack blogger

What's up my friends? Sorry it has been so long... I'm happy to know that people actually read my blog and complain when I don't write stuff. Someone loves me! ;) Anyway...yes, it has been a month almost. I came back to Boulder and was in the throws of an existential crisis when I realized how hard it was to get back in the swing of things after a month off from school. I came back and had to start packing my shiz to get ready to move. I moved into my new pad on Thursday and let me say, it's BIG PIMPIN! It's 80 sq ft bigger than my old one, and much nicer. I have a huge balcony to enjoy Colorado sunsets all by my lonesome. haha School was kind of crazy at first, I was enrolled in 3 classes and after only one week of school, decided it was going to be way too much. The first week, I spent 14 hours on a hw project and wasn't even halfway done. That class went bye-bye. I am not a lab rat...I need fresh air and sunshine. The glare of a computer screen with a window telling me I have 30-40 errors on my chip layout is not going to fly. I also was brave and told my advisor that I'm doing a masters instead of a PhD. So now I'm livin large in my new apartment, taking 2 classes and research. Cookies are good. (that's my ADD comment)I'm starting to get used to this grad school thing and feel much better about everything. I no long feel like a rampant chicken running around with my head chopped off in a constant state of panic.

Riding has been good although it's been freaking windy here in Boulder. A couple times I almost got blown over and several other times, the wind pushes you slowly off the road and you can't move against it. I gave USA Cycling a large sum of money for my pro license so it can be hoarded somewhere... somewhere... no one really knows where considering the top pros at the NORBAs don't get prize money and we pay through the nose for entry fees. I AM getting pretty excited to race this summer.

My man is coming to visit on Thursday and I'm pretty stoked. Then I can enjoy the CO sunsets in the company of a human being. I apologize that I don't have anything entirely sarcastic to rave about...that'll have to wait till next time. I went to a wine tasting party the other night and sampled many wines. :) it was fun. Now I can be yuppy in Boulder.

Alright, I'm done now. Till next time!!! And if anyone knows Brian Boitano, say hello for me!



I miss the Sandias!

Back in da Querque

I just got back this afternoon from the land of the Bush. Although the plane ride was a mere 1.5 hours, I was anxious to get back, see my family and boyfriend, and get back on the bike!! Last night was my uncle's bday and we got sushi. MMMM. We also had champagne when he was opening presents. yeehaww! I did a short 2 hour ride today and man, my legs were definitely feeling all the junkfood and booze! I was welcomed home with a tray of baklava. Yeeeahhh! Now it's back to riding and chilling. I am reallly dreading going back to Boulder on Thursday. NOOOOOO!!!!! At least after this semester(if I pass), I'll have 2/3 of my M.S. all done. I can't wait! Well, just wanted to say howdy to my peeps. Later.

Things are goood

Howdy! I am in Texas right now and have been having a fantastic time visiting my cousin. The break has been fun so far! I have had some big training weeks and this week I have been resting and partying! For New Year's, we went to a cabin outside San Antonio in Frio Country.



















Me and my CUZ










There were 10 of us and it was great fun! We did some singing because three of the guys could play guitar, drank some beers, and even had a video camera set up in another room for drunk "confessionals." Good times.

























Drinking uno... don't try and lie about your number of cards!



















awww, Sierra and Scotty





Did you know that there are actually hills and tress in Texas? I am NOT looking forward to going home and back to school. I go back to Boulder on the 12th.




TexASS hillz




On the other hand, Sierra(my cuz) and I have been gawking at myspace.com. Have you seen this site? This might as well be a dating service... there are all these slutty pics of girls. I know the guys are opening up their browsers to check it out ASAP. Chicks putting up pics of their bare butts, skanky lingerie, you name it! It's like Maxim magazine, but worse. The hoebags can post comments below their pics, and some of these bimbos can't even spell!! We have come to the conclusion that there are many many many more hot chicks than there are guys, and that's why you see tools with hot chicks. So if you have a hot boyfriend, you should feel blessed. I, of course, do not have a tool for a boyfriend, but a HOTTIE! WOOO WOOO!

Hope your break is going well! I'm looking forward to getting home and seeing my bf, brother, and parents tomorrow and riding again! yeah!
