OCD in action...
I think everyone has some OCD in their personality, or at least people I associated with, like, or related to (sorry my familia). I don't think there is anything necessarily wrong with having a touch of OCD, it keeps things interesting and fresh.... and maybe slightly neurotic.I recently got a new truck and I really like it... well... everything except the MPG gauge that is built into the odometer/tripodometer. I'm 100% obsessed with it! It has changed my driving style, routes, and overall speed (lower), all in an effort to maximize my MPG. I could try and say it's to be sure I'm doing my part to 'help the environment' but when my best so average for a tank of gas so far is 16.5MPG it's hard to make that idea work. It's all about my obsession with setting 'the record'.
It's so bad, that I get upset with other drivers that brake on a down hill or don't try to maximize their speed prior to an uphill. I get more fidgety than normal in traffic b/c time with the engine idling means those 0.1 of a mile average will just tick away while I watch.
Any constructive ideas on how I can maximize my average MPG? Other than sell the truck etc etc...
Come-on folks, don't let me down!

I know where bean dip comes from....
This is my 3rd attempt at posting this, so the into text is pretty much gone and my photo blogging tendancy has taken over. Maybe its a new form of OCD.... So the gist is, I went to my pal Jordan's wedding in H-town this past weekend and it was a hoot. Nikki and Sammy had to stay home due to little Sam came down with another GI track thing and was not up for the trip.So here goes the photo blog (10 points to whom ever identifies the last photo, and Mary Rusk is not eligable to play).
Please to meet me... look at that 'love line'!

No pictures of CN dancing, it's against the "code"

The happy couple

I have no idea what is going on here...

The dancing Queen and the only man comfortable enough to dance like Carson would want him to...

A little bit softer now...

Never leave your camera unattended....

It was a plus sized fortnight, sorry... I over slept....
Yipper, 16 days between posts and I'm sure y'all were concerned. Nothing serious my followers, just a normal winter funk accelarated by the passing of my wonderful grandmother (did I tell you she would read this?!?! she was cool, yo).So I'm alive, still fighting the good fight, and heading to the neuro-surgeon next week.... yes, the back is still not getting better so we're thinking I need an expert opinion. Since the my core strenght is at Brad Pitt levels, yet my back still feels like there are daggers poking me on both sides pretty much all day everyday, my wonderful PT (she is great) suggested it might be a nerve that a Dr. can help. So off I go to see a Dr that I hit up for sponsorship of my cycling team a few years ago, cool part is he does ride, so he'll be sympathetic to my need for performance enhancing... uh.. nevermind.
Oh and if you read this (POP, you best follow this) please drop a comment to let me know you're there (all you have to do is CLICK the comment at the bottom of my post)
Please enjoy this:

Traveling is fodder for fun....
Happenings on my quick trip to Central California....Overheard in bagel line, cracker mother to daughter:
"you're an oxymoron!"
"what's that?"
"someone that has random things happen to her"
Ruhruhruhrriight... get in me belly!
Shared the bagel line in SLC with Arron Neville, wanted so bad to tell him he was my favorite rapper of his generation... he had a plain bagel (WTF? they had a cerole one). What's up with the cross tattoo'd on his cheek?
I saw 3 people on the SLC to Fresno reading a bible... did they know something I didn't?
Only a few middle aged women look hot in those knee high furry boots, the hot to not hot ratio in SLC was about 1 in 25.
Someday's I would like to be a baggage handler...
