Welcome 2014!!
Well after everything, I did end up getting sick. I swear I always end up sick whenever I’m off from work. The result was that I spent 2-full days in bed and did not accomplish even half of the things on my list. I did clean out the garage but did not finish the attic. I didn’t get any crafting done and I missed 4-days of riding. Blegh. On the good side, I had a great team ride today. I’m sore and my lungs were on fire but I felt great otherwise.  I’m really looking forward to racing this year (though it’s hard to be motivated when you can’t breath without coughing).
On the 31st Brian and I bought a car too. We’d been talking about it for a while. In fact, we had spent quite a bit of time at the BMW dealer back in August. I love my truck and Brian got busy so we just never moved forward. Also, I think both of us had a hard time with the amount of the car. Surprisingly, I don’t really care for BMW. I think you can get better options in other cars for much cheaper. In this case, there just aren’t any other cars that meat my needs. Overall, I’m happy but I’m not as excited as one would expect after getting a new BMW. Maybe I’ll feel differently after we actually bring it home from the dealer.
In another display of unexpected purchasing, I bought a ticket to Dubai. I kept hemming and hawing waiting for Kim or Kate to commit and while I was waiting the ticket prices started to go up and I panicked. So I now have a non-refundable ticket to Dubai in Feb. Now that I have my ticket, Kim’s interested again. We’ll See what actually happens.Â
So bring it 2014!! I’m ready!
