So....I got some great info at the dealerships. I'm lookingat a 500 CC up to 800 CCs bike now. I've discovered my style of bike is called a sporty cruiser style. Everyone(meaning men seem to think I want) wants me to get a crotch rocket. I was told by this 21 year old guy I teach Kung Fu to that bikes are a guy thing....

Awesome, young enough to be wacky and crazy, but old enough to be potty trained. That's perfect! Let me know when you want to set something up, pretty much any evening works for me. Except for this weekend, I'll be busy working the PDX Pop Now festival.

Ah, that's no worry, I've changed a diaper or two in my day. And believe me, when I was teaching Kindergarten, age didn't matter, half of them would do something random in their pants at any given time...
Well, today we are taking the boys to see Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.
Anyone with any ideas or help for finding me a motorcycle, that'd be appreciated. I can't spend a bunch, something like 5,000 would be the most I'd want to do. I want something fairly small and light. No touring bikes. I've seen bikes from 800-2,000 that I've liked. Doesn't have to...

On the bike? Nah, I'm a wannabe myself. I know enough to get me in trouble. Looking at buying one soon though.
So I finally did something last night involving drinking that I haven't done in years.
I drank so much I vomited the next day. Oy.
Thankfully, it was my best friend's house and we were able to crash on the couch. Sadness though. Apparently they really wanted to call us to go out to the beach with them. But......I work. And...kids. All in all though...

I've never had a hangover *knocks wood*... never gotten sick off of teh booze either *beats the hell out of a decidious forest*...
brokenbeatnik:
Ouch! I've been there. More than I care to admit. I've been cutting back in my old age though. At the party, I hadn't had a lot by my old tolerance but I was still wasted. Mercifully, I wasn't sick the next morning though.
Anybody know a good babysitter???!!!

Me, actually. I babysit all the time, am I godfather, used to teach K-6 and run an afterschool program. Kids and I get along fine, probably because I've still got the brain of a nine-year-old most days....
hotpockets:
I guess that might've not been the greatest suggestion--she's actually going off to college next month! Sorry!
Had a tiring two days. Our District manager came in wednesday and all but promised me a store soon. Yay!

Quick! Name someone instrumental in influencing your life WITHOUT naming someone famous.

my grandparents. all four of them had something to offer that was unique and special.

Doesn't it almost always so long as you do your best to do what's right? I have faith ... Thanks for the well wishes.
Thanks for the well wishes.A person that listens to self-absorption and their own dark mutterings never hears the world around them.

My best friend is gone for a week. I always worry when she's too far away. It's not that she can't handle herself, it's just that terrible things always seem to happen to her when I am gone, or she is gone. She discovered she had a deadly bee allergy one of those times. Hopefully, 2 hours away isn't far enough.

Negative thoughts attract like phenomena, think happy thoughts. Leave the neurosis to you customers.
Thanks for a great night everybody. Wish I'd gotten to hang out with some of you guys a little more.

Oooh! That's a good one too! There's nothing I hate more than a know-it-all. It's so not attractive.

i... um... well. ... uh. I want to say so many things at the same time. But i'll just sit here. Although I guess my ass could be a natural selection, even though i was looking at my ass yesterday and found it to be lacking in any ascetic quality. It's a good thing i don't have to look at it all the time.
So...I thought I had walking pneumonia or something. I've never had allergies before in my life.
Well, now I do.
So....since I'm not sick I can go dancing this weekend! Yay!

No... it was rather dumb. I should have just gone to the hsp to start with. But i was too stubborn, and to dumb to do it. And I have no excuse. I make my living telling people to go to the hsp. Anyway i should have just gone, and i learned that.

And sometimes that is truly all we got.
