to have a public holiday for a horse race! No such luck for the Spousal Unit in the brutal world of retail - but at least he got to start an hour later (at 8.00) so I could exhibit extreme keenness and go out on my bike for an hour before he left. I've been fired up by the brilliant performances of Nancy, Bolder and Kahuna in Ironman Florida on Sunday - we were absolutely glued to the live feed from the race all afternoon. Isn't technology wonderful? It was fascinating, and very inspiring, to see all the athletes come across the line in real time.
If only I could get some of their undoubted dietary discipline!(makes sad and disappointed-with-self face). Still, I no longer drink diet coke, and I will keep on trying to eliminate "extras". I'm still in a bit of post-uni shock so I think it will take me a while to transfer that energy to other projects.
On to more critical issues - what to back in the Cup? I'm torn between Tawqueet and Poprock but my Mum, an astute judge of the neddies, is backing Mandela so I may have to drop a bob or two on that as well. Noddie is all set for her first visit to the TAB. Don't tell the Good Mum police!
BTW I cut 3cm off my hair by myself on Sunday b/c it was giving me the pip, and because I was Over Excited watching the Ironman - and it actually looks better. (*beams*)
Ooops Playschool has just finished so today's 'me-time' is OVAH.
More anon, punters!

Can't beat an SA Pony...go Tawqueet!
WE are all in the hair thing it seems. I coloured mine finally today, will post about it later this week.
Not really into The Cup at the moment, just at home studying for exams. Phew :(
Take care for now.
Hi, thanks for stopping by. I love the things they can do with technology today. I think it will not be another 10 years before all of our TV can come through the computer and pump it to the TV.. Watching the Iron man live in Kona for 6 hours a couple weeks ago was just so cool. I got to get A LOT of work done on the computer at the same time..
Cheers.
Rice.
I have a feeling....
Delta Blues to win followed by Pop Rock.... What? the race was yesterday??!!!!
My mum cuts her own hair sometimes and then always has to go and get it fixed by the hairdresser who proceeds to tell her off.
O - M - G, i've just posted that I was going to cut my own hair! LOL!
Maybe I should just hold up that ponytail and go the big CHOP?
Glad yours looks good, I think i'll let someone else do mine...
thanks for following me.
i actually think following someone live for the first time is a rite of passage in Ironman'ing.
certainly was for me!
