1. The french diet will be a good way to maintain my weight. Not working so much for me getting to my ideal weight.... I am going to keep the general principles in mind however, but make some big changes.
2. It is my opinion that Kid Rock is the John Mellencamp of the 2000s. I love both of them. Kid Rock does swear quite a bit, I'll admit, but I still like him. Pink Houses and All Summer Long are two great songs!

Family Guy Reference
I am going to use a Family Guy reference...Things that "Grind My Gears":
1. I've noticed lately, a lot of motorcyclists riding down the street with their helmets attached to their bikes, not their heads. If you spent the money to buy a helmet WEAR IT! You should be wearing one anyways!!!
2. Iran testing missles in the middle east...that causes the price of gas to jump back up to $4.06 for me, sitting here in Kansas. We get it Iran, you're a bad-ass, now stop bugging Isreal and the rest of the world.
3. So few bike lanes in Olathe, Overland Park, Lenexa and Leawood. It's like the trails are my only option for biking. What if I want to just bike across town?! Unless I drive my bike to a trail I can't get my bike there.
...that really grinds my gears Tom, Diane, back to you at the news desk....

Yaaaah!
Yesterday I met one of my summer goals. I biked from my house to my parents house. It was a 28 mile round trip. I thought the hills would be the worst part and that I would get super tired. That wasn't the case at all. Actually my legs started cramping up around the 21st mile, so stopping became the worst part. If I keep working at it though I should be able to bike further without the pain.
On a side note, last night Brian and I went to watch fireworks at Leawood City Park and I got hit with some firework debris in my arm. It was a 1/2-3/4 ball of chared debris. I've got a pretty good welt on my arm and I saved the debris. I will post a picture of the debris later this afternoon.
Happy fourth of July and long weekend to everyone!

oh Yeah
In D&D I did get to level up! I'm a 17th level cleric. My newest abilities are energy drain, implosion, miricle, true resurrecting and storm of vengence. I can make it rain acid, lightning and hail! Oh and I am a bit better at listen and spot checks; always good talents to have!
Things are going well
I took my PPST test last weekend and have my math and reading scores back...180 and 182 respectively. Now I just have to wait on my writing and essay scores. I am feeling a bit of relief that so far my scores have been pretty good. I am still very excited for school to start. It's hard to believe it is only a month and a half away.
I am SO excited that this is a four-day work week for Independence Day. Sebastian (and his parents) are coming Thursday and I can't wait! I have a special treat for Seba when he gets here. He really is growing up fast. He'll be 2 on July 10. I remember the day he was born and it doesn't seem like it was all that long ago.
The french diet is doing better. I am snacking a lot less between meals. My biggest weakness still is soda. I drink waaaay too much. Eating fresh quality foods has been difficult for me and I will keep working on that.
Hmmm what else is going on in my little world.....
I've been doing some writing, but nothing too major or notable. I have pictures from Colorado, and I would like to maybe take more pictures this weekend. I do have a new music interest...rap. I've always like Will Smith, and I have listened to some other stuff, but it wasn't until recently that some of it struck a chord with me. I wouldn't go as far to say I like certain artists, but there are some songs that I definitely like. I like 2Pac's song Changes. I even quoted some of it on my Facebook page. There is a 50 Cent song I like the beat to. I found I liked that one after watching a Vitamin Water ad. I also sort of like Nelly's song EI. I heard that one a lot in college when it first came out, but I recently found it again and realized it too has a good beat.
Not too much else going on right now. Have a good week!

I suck at this!
Sorry that it has been sooo long since I blogged. I have been very busy since April...still, no excuse. I will do better. So here is what is new:
The french way of eating has slipped considerably and I can totally feel it. One weekend I was in Omaha visiting an old friend from elementary school. It was so much fun and I miss Omaha a lot. I will be going back July 12 though! The following weekend I was in Mankato visiting the cutest toddler in the world. The next weekend I don't even remember. Three weekends ago I was doing a car wash fund raiser, the following weekend I was in Creede, Colorado as a sponsor for my church's youth group mission trip. It was pretty cool and I will post some pictures eventually. Last weekend I was in a college/sorority sister's wedding, congrats to Melissa and Dave! This upcoming weekend we're playing D&D and the next weekend I will take the PPST test to get into KU's school of education and I am going to the Wizards game and then it is 4th of July weekend and Seba, my sister and brother-in-law are coming to town, then Omaha, THEN I can rest.
Summer starts this upcoming weekend so here are the summer goals:
1. Bike to my parent's place and back
2. Get back to eating right
3. blog more often!
4. Try to lose 10 pounds
5. On the D&D note....finally level up to level 17!!!!
6. Get people the pictures and music I promised.
We'll see how successful I am! Talk to you all again soon!
