Valentine's Day 09 --- Day 56

Day 56

Happy Valentine's Day, Everybody!

So here is Big Z and the new sparkly bike on its first official trip to the USPS (posted pix on yesterday's as well). Cell phone camera, but it gives you the idea . . . Big Z is one happy camper --- what a perfect way to end Boot Camp with a new bike. That's definite reward for a job well done, even if it's been months and months in the making ;-). BTW, we did everything we could to convince the store to take AMEX Gift Card . . . As it happened, they just wouldn't bend. So for this purchase, well, it snuck by us and wasn't purchased on our mall and didn't receive a rebate. We win most of them, but sometimes . . . you just buy it anyway, knowing that eventually, we WILL be able to get a REBATE from every purchase. THAT, my friends, will be so cool!

I will add that the helmet Big Z has on is one he ordered from his Mall through Target.com. He used his own money to get a "full-face helmet". The helmet was backordered, and took months to get here. I think they must've had to manufacture it before they sent it. When it finally arrived, we almost accosted the UPS man and were terribly excited. It's one of Big Z's prized possessions.

Today has been filled with Live Chat, a bit of blogging, a bit of catching up with family and friends on this beautiful Valentine's Day, a bit of loving good time with Z, a bit of reorganizing, cleaning, de-cluttering . . .

Spring must be in the air 'cause it's time to shake things up and oust the OLD so we can bring in the NEW ;-).

Happy Saturday, everyone. Thanks for posting to our blog, always. And, thank you for your supportive encouragement, to me and to Big Z.

Stay tuned . . .

Oh, and we heard back from one of our local contacts. She and her family are still in the game, and it's been a pleasure getting to know them as the world turns 'round. It's great to follow-up with those people who genuinely like to keep in touch AND who have every intention of "getting around to it" legitimately ---- what I mean to say is when life just keeps throwing you curve balls and you can still keep your vision on a new result, you hang in there and keep developing your relationship with the person (s ) until the curve balls finally stop. ;-)

Enjoy.
