I AM STILL HERE!!!

I know, I know, it has been weeks since my last post, well except my birthday wish to Nikki...

Sorry I haven't been blogging. I could say I have been really busy and just haven't had time but that would be a HUGE lie!!! LOL I just haven't blogged because I am lazy!

So what has been happening in my life lately? Lots! Other than Nikki turning 4, I did a 20 mile bike ride, which is amazing in itself cos I am normally winded by just going around the block, I spent some time with my family, and I went to the California State Fair. Now let's break it down...

Nikki turned 4 and I couldn't see her because I had to work, I tried calling in the morning to say Happy Birthday but no answer, so I left a message. My sisser calls me later while I was at work to ask if I forgot about anything, like a hint , and I told her to check her messages cos I was busy, called later to try to talk to Nikki, and no answer AGAIN!!! So I didn't get to talk to her on her birthday. I called the next morning to talk to her and she says... "It's not my birthday anymore, Why does Auntie want to talk to me?" Isn't she sweet. So i finally got to wish her a Happy Birthday, and she told me everything she got for turning 4, it was a great conversation.

20 mile bike ride.
This was a planned excursion, I knew it would be 20 miles, so it wasn't like I didn't know what I was doing. We rode along the American River Bike Trail from Howe Ave. To Discovery Park, and back. It was fun, no problems with my bike, and no crazy men with bloody hands & a knife trying to talk to Rudy, which is a whole other story. I think Rudy wished I went a little faster, we got passed by an old man on his bike with a little bell. Yeah he passed us TWICE!! My fault, I was just taking the ride back a little slower, so Rudy ditched me a few times, he didn't really leave me completely but, he was far enough ahead that in order to hear me I would've had to have screamed. I was irritated at first, but I got over it, mostly LOL :)

California State Fair
Rudy and I go to this every year, and do the same things. We check out the sellers. We look at the exhibits, I love the woodworking stuff and the house blue prints, see the displays (the 2 HP tractors from 1922 there every year) and see some of the shows. Well this year was the same, the tractors were there just moved around a bit, the vendors are still selling crap with a lifetime guarantee (so when the fair ends and the crap breaks where do you return it to?), the blueprints and tacked down so you can't see the whole house, and the shows were the same dancers doing the same routines that we saw in Six flags a few weeks ago. All in all, had a good time, if we didn't go, I would have been like "we didn't go to the fair this year, we always go" So maybe next year we won't go, but I doubt it.

Well that is about it.
