It's Been a Busy Week So Far... Plus a Visit from Mom

[kybearfuzz]

And you thought your morning sucked....

• I saw this on the highway on my way to work, traffic was just starting to build up and was slow enough for me to whip out the camera for a photo. My day seemed brighter in comparison to this poor guy.
  
• While eating lunch solo at Chipotle today, the bear parade came through. One cute cub of a guy with dark hair, a goatee, and glasses caught my attention. He reminded me of Erich (bookish_cub) and I'm sure everyone knows how handsome he is! There was also a blue-collar bear with more scruff than beard, but with a lean muscular body that looked like he held a jackhammer all day. Sigh... the last was a nice burly daddy bear, thick WHITE beard that was well-groomed and kind, Santa Claus eyes. I needed a cold shower after lunch today.
  
• Softball game on Monday night went well, but it was a late game. It was a close game until the last inning. We won 13-8. I batted poorly, but did a beautiful slide into second base to avoid getting out. The twin would have been proud. I was happy to see Derek (_decibel_) and Chris come out to the game. Our next game is Monday, July 10th, but I'll be out of town :(
  
• Had a steady parade of DVD's showing up this week from Amazon. I received a $100 gift certificate at work and went crazy. The booty thus far -- Medium Season 1 on DVD, Tamara, Sordid Lives, Prom Night, Happy Birthday to Me, and He Knows You're Alone. I was going crazy for the old (and new) horror movies. Thank heavens for Amazon Marketplace for cheap DVD's. I'll post more about the movies later.
  
• I bought a mountain bike on Sunday for exercise. I rode it for three days. I returned it today. It hurt my butt to ride it (insert joke, go on.. you know you want to). I'll search for another bike this weekend.
  
• Mom is here tonight. She and my stepdad are visiting his family and is staying tonight with me. In a rare nostalgic moment, Mom looked at the time and said "shouldn't you be getting bed soon, you have to get up early tomorrow..." I haven't heard that from her since I was in junior high and laughed out loud. "Yes, Mommy..." :P

ehehhehehehee

yeah, that car fire was all over the morning news today

LOL.. Evil Bob.. Evil! :)

... and I missed the back up by just minutes I think, it got really bad after I passed by.

So you got a photo some burning car on the side of the road and you couldn't get any of the cute men??? [grin]

[kybearfuzz.livejournal.com]

The guy wasn't so cute and I didn't get a chance to see the cop who was helping :)

About the bike hurting your butt, that happened to me too, I just bought a new bike seat.

[kybearfuzz.livejournal.com]

While the seat was the major thing, I think I grew to dislike the bike as a whole anyway. I'll do some bike shopping this weekend.

We have a couple of friends that are serious, serious bikers ... (lj user="johnames") is one of 'em, but he never posts anything. ;) Anyhoo ... I remember them making comments about how buying yourself the perfect seat was the way to go for comfort!

I have a bike seat cover for when I take my spinning classes, so I may try that when I get the new one.

Indeed if the frame is the correct size for you then usually it's the seat that gives the pain rather than the whole bike. In fact I find that after a break away from cycling I always end up saddle sore for a while until I get used to it again. I found some reviews here http://www.mtbr.com/reviews/saddle/. I have the Specialized Body Geometry saddle, it's designed for men and is designed to relieve pressure on the sensitive perineal area - if you get my drift. Looking at the reviews for it though it isn't viewed as the most comfortable seat.

Well, the bike didn't feel right to me, so there is a good chance that I didn't have the right size bike anyway. I'll be looking for a new one over the weekend. And thanks for the link, it'll come in handy :)

Sordid Lives. Lord help us all.

[kybearfuzz.livejournal.com]

LOL... Leslie Jordan as Tammy Wynette kills me.... :)

"My Country Queens...How would I survive without them..." There is nothing better out there...Of course Sissie and her rubber band run a very close second :-)

Just saw the new Del Shore (author of Sordid Lives)play "Southern Baptist Sissies" here in Louisville. Can't wait to see that made into a movie as well. What a hoot!

[kybearfuzz.livejournal.com]

Oh I've heard of "Southern Baptist Sissies" and can't wait to see it, I'm sure it'll ring closer to home than Sordid Lives did :)

Insert one of my favorite quotables from my soon to be former roommate. He spent the day bike riding (which he hadn't done in quite some time) and tells a friend of ours, "I think I bruised my taint." lol

[kybearfuzz.livejournal.com]

Ouch! Not the words I'd use, but I can see that happening :D

You're a busy man. ;-)

Hey there, handsome! Yeah, things get busy on occasion :)
