All WORK and NO play -

As you are aware, I have not updated the blog in a very long time.  This is sadly due to the fact that I have been working 24/7.  I am serious when I say 24/7!  Remember a while back I was trying to decide on which job to keep and which to ditch.  Well, I have been working endlessly on my plan.  I never thought it would require so much effort, lack of exercise, and a lifelong endless painting scheme.  Yeah, painting - so fun. 

My husband Brian is truly an amazing man.

He taught me the importance of hard work.  When we owned and operated the bike and snowboard shop he would go to work early - before the world was out of bed, and come home late - when all the world was sleeping.  He worked harder than his competition and it showed.  To this day he is the hardest working individual I know and builds the most beautiful bikes I have ever layed eyes on.  

The past few weeks we have been remodeling a building next to the bike shop.  This studio is going to be the new


I know that hard work = no play, but man . . . . I'm needing some exercise!  Thanks for all of your e-mails and comments.  They keep me going.  They make me want to work harder.  I know that true gratification comes from working hard.  But I also know that staying sane means adding a little play.  This weekend I'm heading to the mountain to go shredding with my boys. 

A little fresh air will do me good.  Can't wait for a new WORK week.
