Starting off the short with with a bang

The long weekend was a lot more blah than I was hoping it to be. I did our taxes, confirming my suspicions that we owed a lot. The weather was cold, windy and gross. Then to top it off, we got more snow on Monday (above).  Don’t get me wrong, the visits with Piper were great. In fact, she did something that really made me proud. She totally dismantled a little toy piano (in the foreground, below) that Reagan got for her a few months ago.

Luckily, I was able to put it back together. Piper wanted to help, so bad. Reagan had to really restrain her. Hahahah.

Anyway, today I have decided to cast off the blah. I woke up super early and took Greta in for her 90 Day service. The poor girl was already starting to fall apart on us (slowly leaking tire and malfunctioning touch screen). So, she will likely be in the shop until Friday. Then I came into work super early and was able to get a jump on things. Even though the temps won’t break the 20’s today, it is supposed to get gradually warmer as the week wears on. I’m hoping to take advantage and put a few more km’s on my running shoes before our first race, coming up in March.

Things to look forward to: 1. Sam (my brother) will be back here in a week; 2. MotoGP 2011 season now starts in less than one month; 3. After we pay taxes (probably later this week), we can start planning a spring vacay.
