My overdue debut

After much hemming and hawing, I decided to finally blog again and do so on our "joint" blog. While Justin's posts will be full of tough races and solid performances, mine will likely consist of me complaining about 1) being injured all the time and 2) how slow I am.

Aren't you, Reader, excited? :)

Much has been going on in our little world over here in Burke but most of it is not blog-worthy. One thing I know for sure is that I do not enjoy wedding planning AT ALL. Maybe all that time playing with Transformers when I was little stunted my "princess genes." Too bad I cannot have a Voltron wedding - now THAT would be worth all the hassle. Despite my genuine boredom and distaste for all things "wedding," planning is proceeding well and we should have a pretty nice event for those of you joining us in the Poconos come December. That is, if I don't spill the Chocolate Fondue Fountain on my dress and then proceed to fall asleep halfway through the reception. (Don't laugh. Very high probability of both of these events occurring.)

Our new house is also slowly coming together and doesn't resemble a storage unit anymore. However, no matter how hard we try, the "workout room" still looks like a hurricane of Hammer products and tri shorts blows through hourly. Justin and I have also been bitten by the gardening bug and might be in a bit over our heads. This was confirmed when our cucumber seedlings began taking over the home office and have been growing at an alarming rate. Definitely Cylon cucumbers and I am convinced they will come and strangle me in my sleep. But they like Justin, which does nothing to allay my fears.

I have a few more weeks before I plunge back into BarBri and begin studying for the Virginia bar exam. Apparently, taking the PA bar in 2003 and waiving into DC last fall was not enough for me. The worst part is that I have to take the exam in a SUIT and it is the Tuesday after IMLP. (Guess what we will be doing the Monday after IMLP? That's right! Driving to Roanoke.)

Besides my significant lapses in judgment (see above), everything is going pretty well. Will have a training/racing post soon and Justin is hitting the big mileage time for IMLP. Stay tuned...
