Never, Ever, Ever!

Very excited to join the Never, Ever, Ever link up today! Let's get started!!! 

(Thanks to Neely, Shelley and Stephanie for hosting this new link-up!)

Never, ever, ever:

*will I not need  a cup  three cups of coffee in the morning. I am not a morning person.

*will I understand why my dogs have to wake me up twice every night.

*will I care about an NBA Finals that includes the Heat and Spurs. (YAWN)

*Can I resist Texas & Baseball together. My 4 legged kids don't know I bought these yet. Shhh!



*will I underestimate the power of photos. My weekend blog updates with pictures are usually my most read blog of the week.  I also make sure to always read the blogs with all the photos in everyone else's blogs.  I like seeing how much more interesting y'all life is than mine!

*will I be the care-free one! I wish I could be but worry is my normal.

*will there be enough sleep.

*will I not have a running inner dialog in my head. I'm used to it until I go out at night and the dialog becomes an episode of "Disappeared" on ID.

*will I understand what being "normal" is even though I probably am.

*will I not love Maxi-Dresses, wedges, and bubble necklaces.

*will I understand men. Enough said!




Day 4 of the Photo Challenge:
Texas is:
A Baseball Town!




*Blame Josh Hamilton for that one. I couldn't resist!

Mountain Bike/Mobile Monday

Ligers!!!

If I were an animal..I would be a liger! I mean look at that hair! This animal gas a Redheaded Leo smiling! Supposedly the females can actually reproduce but they have to find their Lion. Yep, sounds like me.

Saturday: work! This is how I roll into the office on Saturday....



Waiting to hit the trail!


Challenge: photo of my room


I picked my office because it is where I spend the most time!

Odd angles thanks to panoramic.

There are basically two themes to my office:



It really is just a normal square office.


13 year old boy baseball fan & mountain bike chick.



Then it was MTB time!
Let me just say, the trail is so beautiful and so green and it smells freaking amazing!

I look forward to this old beat up monster when I ride this trail!

This is the Jeep Loop!


This is me and the old girl! I remembered what I love about Biking and will be going after work. I can't wait to get back out there. I never feel so alive as I do on the trail. I was so worried I wouldn't be able to ride but I was shocked. The skill that I have (yes, I actually do have some skill) hasn't gone away and what is more important my fearlessness is still there! I laughed a little as I saw all the stumps and didn't even think about them. I used to avoid them but now I ignore them. The little wood technical areas that give you a ride around option...nope! I want to ride them. (Okay not the teeter totter. I am not that fearless yet.)

Skye and the Jeep!  Isn't it pretty?

Yes, this is my new Camelbak and it is huge and awesome!

S*a*t*u*r*d*a*y Night and I was ready to go on very little sleep.




So were the balloons!


I had a blast Saturday night even if I was tired and I kept twisting my foot walking in my high heels. It's been a long time since I didn't have on flats (which I hate) or sneakers.


Sunday



I spent a lot of time being a responsible adult and working on the yard and house.



I made fresh salsa using this:


I have never in my life chopped jalapeños before. The coughing the burning nose and lungs....wow! Good thing the salsa was worth it!





I also made Chicken Enchilada Casserole.




It isn't a that difficult but it is good. Sometimes I use salsa verde and light sour cream and sometimes salsa rojo. This was red because I may have a ton of salsa at home. You can make this without the light sour cream and use even less cheese. I love food I can eat on for days so this is a win.

My weekend was short but I managed to pack a ton of fun into it!
Happy Monday! Go get ya some!
