Unwind....

Relax and renew. It is the time of year for me when I recharge mentally, physically, and spiritually. For the first time in years, I have a planned break with NO STUDYING and NO WORK! I am looking forward to renewing my spirit and recharging with some positive energy to help me through the rest of the year.

I kicked off my holiday with the Los Locettes and Terrapina's party- a girl's only party with the two local triathlon teams, Los Locos and Terrapins! Might I just say that I am lucky to be surrounded by so many beautiful, smart, talented, and kind women through the sport of triathlon. It has made my time in Memphis more than worthwhile.

Did I say females only? It seems Mike Cooley was a little confused. I am pretty sure I didn't see his name on the evite, but he just "dropped by for a minute."

Lucia Colbert and Susan Ruch can't help but get a little serious for a minute. And they rock.

Los Locettes: Maggi Finley, Amy Garner, Cheryl Tweatt, and Jeanie Zalinski.

Terrapinas: Gayle Minard and Lindsey Reed- probably planning a night at Raford's.

I only included this picture because Laura looked great. Straight from work, no make-up, hair in pig tails, and tired...I look like hell. I believe my friends love me for what is inside ;)

Ashley Nations, Damie, and Layla Bell- hanging out after an AWESOME meal. I don't know how the entire night ended as I had to leave early. I hope some good stories come my way. :)

My current view

All of the sleeping, World Cup, sun-tanning, running, biking, more sleeping, reading and more sleeping that I care to do.
