Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.

Without a doubt you did, vw. It is a tough thing for me too. You need an agent!

Yeah, really. What I should have said is, "This is my hourly rate. Take it or leave it." It's bad when you need the money so badly...

It's a thing going round too. We have had to discount like crazy because that is what all of our competition is doing. It seems all the business owners I know are suffering. The tiny city in Florida where my sibs and parents live had 15 restaurants go under last month. Including my favorite Italian place! I felt guilty since I hadn't been there in about a year - because too broke.

Being frugal sucks.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

You don't have a seat pack? I can't deal with the gels really unless it's absolutely necessary. I like those sports gummy square things...Cliff shot blocks! (relatively) YUM! But what are your nutrition mistakes?

I never seem to eat properly or even enough before I head out. I bought a bento box for food but it doesn't fit on the new bike. I was wearing my new tri clothes but I need a new top because I want to have pockets in the back of the jersey instead of little mesh pockets. Although it doesn't matter if I don't actually fill them up.

I like shot bloks and the luna chews (since they're by the same company), the cytomax is pretty decent for carb drink, and I don't mind the Accel gels because they're more watery than gooey. The Clif gels are disgusting.

Ugh. It'll all sort itself out, I'm just frustrated with myself.

I loved the chocolate Gu gels. Total yum. With lots of water.

Punishingly Intricate

ah, yeah. I rode for the first time since my big ride in may this past weekend. Only 24 miles but it was good. I totally felt any little (or big) hill. But we stopped for ice cream in the middle. perfect!

Ooh, that is perfect! Love those kinds of rides.

I am up. But I don't want to face all the things I need to do (my house is a MESS. Plus there's work stuff I need to do. BLEH. And I need to find my checkbook. Unemployment called this morning to remind me I owe them money...)

Oh, meara, what a way to start the day!
