why do i find it so hard to update this thing?

part of it is that not a whole lot is happening. i read through the other diaries, and they all seem so exciting! much is happening! they spill their hearts out!

well. not much is happening here.

one thing i can say for sure: i was looking forward to a nice lunch date with a client i like, and now, nothing. bah. she's had to reschedule. that's OK, actually. the rescheduling is fine. it's the cancelling never-to-reschedule that SUCKS.

bah!

there actually is a lot going on, now that i think about it: Divas in the Dirt for july goes up in a few days, and the triathlon looms ever closer.

we're going to be consistently brick-workin' it for a little while now, and i think that we're all strong enough to really keep it up. it's going to be a good tri.

there are a fair number of people in the adventure racing circuit who have been looking into this race, too, so i'm hoping i'll get to see some of them.

i'm very excited. i think the Reluctant Divas will do very very well in this race.

do you know what, though? probably the most damned exciting thing about this tri is that it may make a difference in peoples' lifestyles. that having a goal to work towards may mean that they're going to discover something that makes them feel so good that they'll never want to let it go.

read the next reluctant divas. you'll understand what i mean. i am deeply, deeply grateful to have been a part, however small, of this change. it makes me glad to be alive. is that small of me?

hmmm.

today i was looking forward to something yummy and pasta-like for lunch. now i shall have to fend for myself. actually that could be good, because i have been wanting to pick up the second Princess Diaries novel for quite some time now, and i do know that i want to go for a walk at lunch anyway, since i haven't done anything since my brick workout on wednesday night.

tomorrow we are going to IMBA's trail maintenance day to take notes for ARFE, and then we will have a nice road ride, which will be good for me. the bike-machine-thing that i was on with kate on wednesday said i went 15 miles in half an hour, which i think is a crock. (yes, jim, i do think it's a crock, too. but jeeeeez, couldn't you come up with something other than, "oh, i SERIOUSLY doubt you went 30 miles an hour." jeeeeez. nice support crew! very unhappy! thinking to cancel date night on you, buster! bah! bah! bah!)

anyhow. now i've put myself in a bad mood. i'm going to go sulk at the barnes and noble.
