My trip to Omaha

I seriously hate the drive to/from Omaha. It's boring from Nebraska to Oklahoma, and once you get into Texas, the traffic is ridiculous. At one point, I ran into a construction area, and it took an hour to go five miles. Talk about road rage...

I had a blast in Omaha. I didn't get more than six hours of sleep each night (made for a not-so-fun drive back home). The dogs were so good, too! I was really worried, especially when Brody got more excited than usual--and Brody's normal level of excitement would give another dog a heart attack. But they eventually settled down. Jaiden actually didn't really seem to care much about Brody until Brody decided he wanted to play... Jaiden did his usual leap and bound trick, and Brody thought twice about playing with Jaiden after that. ;)

My brother changed out my rotors while I was down there. I was complaining about how the wheel vibrated anytime I applied the brakes, and he took it upon himself to fix it! :) Thanks, Timmy. :D

I took my bike down and did an indoor group ride on a trainer. It was nice to see everybody. My ex that works at the bike shop told me that they might start selling Kuota bikes--what the heck?! I nearly got one last year, but they talked me into getting a Felt instead. Arrrgh. Wonder if my 25% discount still applies... ;) Oh, and he also told me I still look good in cycling shorts. Zac, not sure if you read my blog, but I love you. Lol.

I went out to Crescent Moon Saturday night with Becky, Eric, Tennille, some of Becky's friends, and some of Tennille's friends. My parents even showed up to drink out of the boot! ;) One of Tennille's friends bought a few of us some shots... that pushed me over the "really drunk" edge. I was hurting in the morning, and it made for a looooong drive. It was worth it though. I had a lot of fun. Except for the falling incident... all the roads froze over while we were inside getting drunk, and I fell flat on my ass outside the bar. Of course, I thought it was just hilarious. ;) I screwed up another one of my fingers, though. Sigh.

I went on a short ride tonight, and nearly got run into. I really should get a stronger light... they're just so freaking expensive. I may be getting a part-time job at a local tack shop (yay!!!), so I should be able to get all this extra crap that I so desperately need. :)
