And then July begins....

It's been more of the same around here.

Since I last posted, Anthony & I went back to Compeer for another race - but this was a Hare Scramble, rather than an Enduro Cross that we went there for last time. Anthony did AMAZING! Maybe because we were there racing a month ago so he was a little more familiar with the terrain and the obstacles they threw in. He was 4th in the first motto and 2nd in the second motto which gave him 3rd AA - a great start for this series!!!

Last weekend we went to Raymond for the Provincials & Amateur Western Nationals. It was three days for Enduro Cross racing....in crazy heat and wind and dust galore. Anthony woke up sick on the Wednesday with a cough, sore throat and runny nose and achy etc. He was not a happy camper...and was being a bit of baby if I do say so! he he But he went to the track and luckily for him, there were not enough entrants to justify holding a qualifier round...so one less race each day for them! He did ok - you could tell he was tired and did not have the energy to beat the top guy. The two others are about the same skill level...but he just didn't have enough energy to overtake them. He came in 4th in the first two days races. But on day three...he was on fire! He rallied and battled for the 2nd place spot! I was so proud of him. Considering in his practise run he sprung a leak in his oil line and was thinking he might not even be able to race. But he was able to do some repair work..and got back in the game! So after the Enduro Cross series...he is 3rd overall! Whoo Hoo - way to go! I'm sure much thanks should go to his ever supportive wife....Ahem.

We booked our flights for Denver today...Anthony's good friend Chad is getting married in two weeks. We have 4 out of town weddings this summer...lot's of fun!
It seems like EVERYONE is getting married and/or having babies this summer. Sigh. Let's not even bother going there.

Noah goes back to gym tomorrow. We have not signed her 07-08 contract yet. Hmmmm. Not gonna say much about that either.
I've been feeling very much removed from the gym lately...a good thing. I still have things to do to finish up...but I feel free and no sense of obligation to continue volunteering my life away for a bunch of ungrateful, whiny, SOB's.......OK - and I digress.....

So it's July. Only 9 weeks of summer left...what a pessimist, huh? I can't help it. I really can't stand being here anymore...I'd rather be almost anywhere than here. I'd like to be with my family and my husband of course...but not here. I need a change of scenery.
BTW - the North Haven House....yup...you got it...still not done. In fact, not really any further along than when I posted two weeks ago. I'm trying so hard not to speak openly negative about it...I hope this doesn't count!

Ok - time for more Soprano's. I have not watched TV in about 10 weeks! But we are renting the Soprano's series and watching it from the beginning. And I wonder why I am saying so many more unflattering swear words of late! bad me!
