Word Verification and Heat

Okay, okay. Hope and J.A. you guys win. I turned my word verification off. I didn't even know it was on. Sorry.

If you're reading this, and not sure if your own blog has it on or not, I'd check J.A.'s post HERE just to make sure. It turns out there are a lot of us who are out there who hate it. I mean, I knew I hated it. Mainly because I was always afraid of mixing a letter up since they're all gross and diagonal, and...well...gross. I was unaware I was putting you guys through the torture.

In unrelated news, it's shorts weather where I'm at in Maine. Which sucks because all of the snow on the mountain is melting.

During this run, my partner in crime and I had to hike, for a long, long time to get to snow. ..

Riding has become an epic game of, AVOID-THAT-HUGE-DIRT-PATCH:

Partner In Crime

But...because the snow is melting, I've developed some bravery. I've been able to ollie over THAT-HUGE-DIRT-PATCH, I've landed more and more 180's off jumps, AND managed to do a grab (without slicing my hand off!). Plus, on a daily basis I've been riding the half pipe, which I've affectionately dubbed; The Slush Pipe.

Dropping into the Slush Pipe..I should be more forward than I am...shh...

The good news is, I haven't bashed in my knees recently. I haven't obtained another concussion (notice, my helmet is on. Thanks, Patrick!). The season is starting to come to a close.

Do you know what that means?

Oh yes. It's almost time to break this bad boy out:

Think I can add a side car for Baxter? :)

Great Comments Award

Huray! I got another award (is this really considered a blog award? I'm not sure, but I sure like getting stuff! Comments, especially!)

To me, getting a blog award, or heck, even getting comments, is like Christmas Day (if you don't believe me, check out THIS blog).

This award was given to my from Hope Roberson, check out her blog at My Proctor: The Calling. Thanks bunches!

It didn't seem like the typical tell peeps about yourself, so I'll avoid that and have a quick pass off. The following people are people who have had great comments, and have had fantastic things to say (Hope picked five to pass it on to, so I will, too:) ):

Krista, at I Take the Pen
Gene Pool Diva, at Diminishing Gene Pool
Ninja Girl, at Ninja Girl Reads
Peggy Eddleman, at Will Write For Cookies
C. Lee McKenzie, at The Write Game

I would also like to give a shout out to Cassie Mae, who I know already got this award, J.A. Bennett, who just recently closed her blog, as well as Hope. You guys rock!

Thanks for commenting on the blog!
