Sleepy Colleen

I am too tired to write anything brilliant on my personal blog...but if you don't read my Training blog, you should check out today's post, cause I had an exciting race yesterday!

I love Triathlon!!

My friend Shelley and I are about to leave for Galveston, TX in about an hour. It's time for Lonestar Triathlon....Half Ironman. 70.3 miles tomorrow! I take off at 800 AM. Good thoughts friends, as I wait for damage on my stinkin' car.

Oh well.

Once again, any leads on a hot man that has $$$. I'm just saying.

My car, a dog and Geico...

Yes, I had a bit of an accident last night. Not with a vehicle. I avoided hitting a dog as it ran across the street and then BAM! hopped a curb and my front left tire blew. And as we went to change the tire, we realized....it was more than the tire that was hurt.

Good times.

What really sucks....I called Geico to see what my insurance company would say.."Um, maam, if you would have hit the dog it would have been covered under comprehensive but because you hit the curb, you are not covered."

SERIOUSLY????? Had I HIT and killed the dog and had that engraved in my memory FOREVER, my car would be covered. It is now in the shop, and I am sure it is going to be an outrageous amount. Can I have ONE week without something financially hitting me?

This is not cool. I want to switch from Geico just for this reason.

They apparently want dogs to be hit by cars.

Happy One Year!!

I love my family and I don't get to see them very much. My nephew, Solomon, just turned one. Like any other child he was super excited about the ice cream!!

New Digs....

So I moved into this sweet one bedroom loft apartment right in downtown Austin. I love it. It still needs some work, but it's MINE!!!! No roomies, no major distractions. Walking distance from good bars and good music. And one mile from Town Lake Trail...I can run from my house. It is pretty awesome...you should come over to visit. Bring wine.

Church Signs...Really?

Being out on the bike you experience many fun and funny things. One of my new favorites is random really bad church signs. Here are the 2 best yet.

I promise there will be more to come. Texas is a big state and I have a lot of biking to do!!

And to think this church spent good money on this sign.

My trip to Salt Lake in pictures!

it's a small world after all. Scott Porter (Disney compadre and fellow Austinite. You also might recognize him from Friday Night Lights and a few movies coming out) He was on my first plane to Denver. We chatted and got caught up on life!! Fun times!
