Bullet points

I can’t think straight to type a coherent post, so I plan to cheat.  Here are some thoughts floating around in my head, in order of importance:

*my mom was diagnosed with Von Willebrand Disease today, in addition to the essential thrombocythemia.  It is hereditary, and I will have to be tested as well as my kids…with emphasis on my daughter.  Oh goody.  Please, would someone just shoot me already!!!!!!!!!!!

*my boys DOMINATED at the City meet.  Cory brought home 1st place in 4 events, and a 2nd place too.  Cody got 1st, 4th and 5th.  It was a great day, and now we are on to regionals.

*I have another small cyst in a special, special place.  Let’s just say it is from my bike shorts and that it is a bit uncomfortable.  The end.

*My average bike speed is up to 15mph, and Bills is hovering at 16.2.  Here I come, honey!!!  Whoop, whoop, whoop.** 

*I actually added on 60 more channels to our Dish Network satellite just so we could get the Outdoor Life Network and watch the Tour de France.  I am unstable.  Yes, I know.

*our outside cat disappeared and has been gone for 4 days now. The same cat that liked to climb on top of the carport and use the accumulated leaves up there as a litter box.  Wherever you are, Tiger, please stay there.  Godspeed.

*I got Mia a little dolly stroller and one of my friends told me that she is spoiled.  I don’t think it was meant to sound as bad as it did.  What do you think?

In light of today’s news, I am having what one would consider a stressful evening.  We don’t know if Mom has Type I, II, or III yet.  It appears that type III is indicated in the female gene pool.  Type III is similar to hemophilia.  Please God, don’t let this be the dreaded shoe drop that I have been anticipating with Amelia.

To take my mind off of it, I would like to ask everyone who stops in to leave a little comment.  Even just a "Hi" to let me know that the 500-1000 hits a week are not just me checking my page over and over again.  I have several regular commenter’s who are so great about checking in and saying hi.  But, I would also love to hear from the lurkers out there. 

So, please don’t be shy.  And don’t forget to leave a link to your web page.

**his average speed on one ride was 17.2mph, but I believe it was due to an increase in testosterone levels associated with me coming home and informing him that I averaged 15.1mph.
