Coming up...

My oldest is off to the city for a

Summer Games Selection Rowing Camp.

And I am off to the city for my first 

Olympic Distance Triathlon.

One words: nerves.

(And NOT of steel...or that would be 3 words.)

I'd like to think we are both going to tackle this weekend with

the same determination we've been training with.

But it's funny how scheduled events tend to bring out the insecurities in one's head. 

At least in mine.

Remembering this over the next few days:

"it's all in my head!".

And this:

"Once you're beat mentally,
you might was well not even go to the starting line."

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

"eye candy"

Oh Boy.

I love this time of year.

I know- I know.

Candy is not good for you.

But it's so good!

I am terrible around it.

Ask my friend.

On a short road trip I can consume an entire bag.

And when I'm at home when no one is looking...

(guess that is a confession right there!)

I try not to do it too often...but there are times when I just cannot help it.

And Candy Corn time of year doesn't help the situation.

Neither does Caramel Time of year.

My favorite is when you take these....

...unwrap them and melt them into this....

And then you take these.......

....and dip them into this.....

Then they get plunked onto here.....

....and call my name.

(I cannot help but respond.)
