I'm a fitness guru couch potato! Yup! I see myself as both. When I move, I MOVE! When I sit, I SIT!
For example, I once rode my bike 100 miles in one day. But I've also spent hours watching movies and TV.
What about you?

Summer Blog Challenge Day 3 - June 3-- 15 interesting facts about yourself.
Hmm...this could take a while.
1. I love to ride my road bike. I rode 100 miles in one day back in 2010.
2. I can touch my nose with my tongue and my son has a freakishly long tongue as well and will most likely be able to do the same.
3. I am a sucker for anything with chocolate and raspberries. If it has dark chocolate, I'm powerless!
4. I am a terrible, terrible speller.
5. I am a total nerd. I work on computers and geek out about science books and shows.
6. I love Star Trek so much, my son is named after a character from the show.
7. I have a tattoo of a tree frog and plan on getting more tattoos after I have my babies.
8. I love to read. One of the last books I read was about genetics.
9. I am currently doing a weight lifting program and signed up for a tranformation challenge. I want to be buff.
10. I am terrified of spiders and insects, but LOVE snakes!
11. I dabbled in Tarot reading. I still have my deck.
12. I took French in high school and still occasionally dream in what seems to be French.
13. My family thinks I'm a hippy. I admittedly am, but know I'm definitely not the crunchiest out there.
14. I love frogs because I often feel comfortable in many different environments, but at the same time am sensitive to my environment.
15. My favorite flower is the tulip. Both because I was born in Holland and I love their simple elegance. My wedding flowers were tulips.

Birthdays, Bike Ride, and More!
It was a busy, busy weekend for us! My husband's birthday was on Friday and we went out to celebrate Friday night and Saturday night. Friday was just the two of us (belated anniversary celebration as well) and Saturday was with some friends.
Saturday was a crazy, busy day all around. We got up early and rode our bikes on a metric half century (50 K or 32 miles) through some of the more scenic parts of our county. It was beautiful. It was the most miles I've ridden since I had dude-y and the first time my husband and I actually rode an organized ride together. I rode a century (100 miles) back in 2010 without him since he broke his toe walking down the stairs! Then he attempted the same century this past fall, but due to frigid temperatures and nasty rain, was only able to complete 82 miles. I know some of you reading this must think we're crazy and are thinking ONLY 82 miles!!! Don't worry, I think marathon runners are crazy! The first 13 miles of our ride were grueling! We were stiff, hungry, thirsty, and cold. But after a lengthy rest and plenty of food and water, we finished the rest rather easily. After finishing up, we grabbed some food and then headed to a first birthday party for one of my friend's kids! A quick showing at the party and then we finally went home to shower and get ready to go out again for birthday celebrations. Whew! I'm exhausted recounting this! It was a good relaxing time though. We went to a German restaurant and ate outside in the beer garden. Great food, a little beer, music, and just a wonderful relaxing atmosphere with friends was perfect.
We all slept most of Sunday! Even dude-y. We planned on not doing much of anything till my brother called and invited us to go to a movie. So my gracious and wonderful mother (who watches him all week) agreed to watch dude-y yet again for us and we enjoyed an evening out. It was the first movie I'd seen in a theater since July 2011. Yup, right before dude-y came. I enjoyed going out, but now I'm still drained from the weekend and need some rest. Alas, it's near impossible to rest when you have a super active 10 month old! Speaking of, he's 10 months old today! I still can't believe it's almost been a year! Time to get moving on planning his birthday party.
