Melissa - Vain Triathlete

OK, so yesterday I went to Landry's for some GU and Endurance Gatorade. It is possible to spend $60 on GU and Gatorade. I know because I did it. I had to read my receipt over three times to be sure they added correctly or didn't add in something extra. Low and behold they were correct. I swear I did not add in anything extra. No socks or maps or tubes. Just the Gatorade, those 6 pack boxes of GU and some of the GU with protein. Oh, and I tried some Mint Chocolate GU. Sheesh.. I was a little shocked. The good news is that there is an understanding in my household that I have to pay, out of my spending account, for any extra fun stuff such as biking gear, running clothes, swim suits. Pretty much anything to do with tri training. However, I consider the GU and Gatorade to be food so I did not pay for that out of my spending account. Food is essential to life and therefore is not an extra. Don't you agree? I still have not decided on which tri to do in June. Mary has introduc...

My mind works better when I'm running or biking. Maybe not swimming but definitely the former. I came up with all these cool subjects to blog about but I'll be dammed if I can remember them. That's because I'm at work and my mind is laden with thoughts of killing customers that I don't like.. lol... So, with that said, I really only like to blog when I have something interesting to say however that is not a very common occurrence, unfortunately. I love to chat but I figure no one really care about what I blog about unless there is a good topic. I have just decided to be a little lame and blog anyways. About things that are not all that interesting or important. I'm babysitting my friend's poodle! Suki. She's 14 in dog years so that makes her about 90 I think. She's extremely petite and likes to sit on your lap (from being completely spoiled) allllllllllllll "f" ing day long. While I'm at work! I will be a good babysitter and oblige (...

No, this is not about swim suits however the "semi-thong" was of quite the subject whilst lounging on the beach. Just back from vacation in Aruba. My longest vacation of 12 day since 1995 when I started the insurance agency with Kathy.. It was all worth it. Next year I'm aiming for two weeks. Everyone should have a long vacation. As Kathy's Big Dog shirt says, I' m Tanned, Rested, and Ready! Today I got back in the pool and taught myself how to do a flip turn. Yippeee!!! I'm so psyched that I can do a flip turn. It took me a whole workout to get it down pat but nonetheless, it's there. While on vacation a friend of mine informed me of the two different personalities within a relationship. A top and a bottom. A top is the person who "looks" as though they are in charge of everything. They like to control all the money, they are always coming up with the plan for the day, talking a lot.. sound familiar? Then, alas, there are the bottoms. The botto...
