An Awesome Time Suck

I'm back for a short bit. Cycling begins again at the end of the month.

Guess what I've been doing when not packing & moving? Watching the most amazing show ever to be on tv The Wire. Go out & rent it now. Totally worth every minute.

We watched the final episode last night and I'm sad.

Pardon the Interruption

Updates will be posted at: See Sarah Ride until June 7th. My life is consumed with TNT Cycle team at the moment.

Check me out over there. My brother is also training to participate in the ride. Aren't we cute:

Matter of the Heart

Sunday Dinners

In light of tight finances and the cozy fall weather I decided to start cooking Sunday dinners that will provided leftovers for lunch. Last night we made amazing Braised Chicken Thighs served with braised chard & long wild long grain rice.

I am excited to go have my lunch today.

Flashbacks

This weekend while looking for some "seasonal" shows I stumbled across this awesome afterschool special from my youth.

Remember this?

Sarah Palin Baby Name Generator

I would be Trough Gutted Palin. Want to know your Sarah Palin Baby Name?

Clarity...

This just arrived by email, I don't know who to give credit to. I'm sure your in-box will get it soon.

I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....

* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're "exotic, different."

* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American story.

* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.

* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.

* If your total resume is: local weather lady, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 9,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.

* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.

* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.

* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

* If , while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant , you're very
responsible.

* If your wife is a Harvard graduate laywer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America's.

* If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

OK, much clearer now.

I LOVE TINA FEY!

Stalker?

Before he went crazy I had a mad crush on Tom Cruise. He was #1 on my celebrity list. If only he kept his mouth shut and let his big nose & crooked smile work their magic. Oh, and the whole Scientology thing is whack-a-doo too.

So, anyway... I finally went in for my annual grooming - aka haircut. I asked for "just above the shoulders with some layers so it's not a blunt stick straight bob". I love what Stacey did to my hair but did she have to say, "it's a little longer version of the Katie Holmes"

Seriously. I got the trendy celebrity cut of the season. Now if only I could rock a leopard print dress.
