Finally got caught up on stages 3 and 4. What the hell was up with that dog today? That is something I just don't get. They should have some sort of leash law in place. Today's race was slow and of course had many crashes as many early stages do. I still hate them and hope the next few have many less. After not being able to watch live since Sunday, I'm looking forward to watching it live tomorrow morning. Also plan to check back in with John. :-)
Make sure to read Spinnin'Wheel as Julie always has good write ups on the stages. For some laughs read up on Will's, Mike's, and Brad's blogs. For some more cute pics of little Samuel, check out Dan's blog. :-) Quick Thank You to GG for spending the last 24 hours with me. For someone who says I'm obsessed with cycling, I at least don't dream about it or the riders! LOL!!! Still think a bike ride could've been gotten in but what ever! Thanks sweetie!!!

I enjoyed spending the day with you, but I plan to make you stick to the no bike for a week order from the doctor. HTFU and take the week off so you don't have to take more off because you hurt yourself. She said you can walk so take the girls out and enjoy it.
I am wearing my braclet to thanks, but I flipped it over so no one can read it.
Enjoy relaxing today wish I could have had another day too, but I don't have any excuse to use.
I SO loved being home today. I still feel like a slacker but loved it just the same. Got to watch the race, got to talk with John, and talk to Peg. It was great. Chilled right now so it might be a nice time to go curl up on the couch.
The call this afternoon ran the full 2 hours but I thankfully used my time wisely reading up on cycling. :-)
You deserved the break so I am glad you took advantage of it. I know you said today was going to be crazy, but try not to work to late.
And we'll add tomorrow to the break too! Yeah!!!
