Happy Easter!

There has been a lot of news around here. Olivia lost a tooth at school last Tuesday at lunch. She has a fabulous new look!


Thursday I took the day off and painted the family room for a second time. Here are the before, before, and after pictures.






We had Easter brunch with Matt's family today and there was an egg hunt. The girls got to hang out with their cousins and had a great time.






There is an all-district elementary school art show at the Wauwatosa Public Library and Olivia has a piece of artwork in the show. We went to see it this afternoon. There are some fabulous artists in Wauwatosa elementary schools!
On the bike front I have been derailed this weekend due to another scar problem. This is a new problem with the scar that was "revised" in December and may be due to injecting the tissue with steroid resulting in "necrotic fat". I'd suspect my fat would be more along the lines of neurotic. Anyway, the Dr. had to re-do a couple areas of the scar, so now I have new stitches. That was yesterday. Needless to say, this is getting quite old. So when he came into the exam room and he was saying I don't remember what and I said something about G*d dam* @uck#ng something or another. Nice. I think he got the idea. It's a little sore, so no riding this weekend. Maybe by next weekend it will be warmer?
I hope everyone has a Happy Easter! And thank you to those who have donated for the Trek 100!

No More WINTER!

A freezing cold beginning to a ride on Saturday morning and Olivia coming home sick from school today. Those are the icing on the winter cake. Enough. Done. No more. I think if this goes on much longer I will go crazy.

I've decided I'm going outside no matter what now. My dad and I got a 40 mile ride in on Saturday morning. We're determined to be prepared for the 100 miles on June 6th. So far so good, but this weather needs to continue to improve.

Please check the Trek 100 link on the right side of the page and consider donating. Any amount - even $10 is appreciated. Or, if you prefer, I've begun my fundraising page for the Scenic Shore 150 as well. That is in July.

Thank you so much!
