Comments for Simone's Exploits http://mysemicharmedlife.com I want something else to get me through this semi-charmed kind of life.

You look lovely now; just imagine when you feel you are back in form!! I've always been an exercise nut; for me mostly bicycling and weight lifting. Bicycling makes me feel fast and sleek; running makes me feel slow and heavy. Eat a Mediterranean diet also Helps a lot. Tastes good as well. Lived in France for a bunch of years. People eat better and walk a lot, It does a lot for their general health. Shopping. Wish I could send a present from Victoria's Secret. hehehe, as you say.

Sorry about that, Ben! :( I'll either do Craigslist or Academy. Houston has a lot of broken sidewalks, due to the trees taking them back. The roots are pushing up the concrete. I'll need a bike with thick tires, but not too thick. I don't want to impede too much speed. Aside from that, I live in an area of Houston that's filled with local bike shops & bicyclists. I'm on the more urban side of town. Houston's so spread out. Some areas are really not bike friendly. I first noticed EIA in high school, when I did marching band. My parents didn't want to foot the doctor visit, so I didn't get my first inhaler until last year. Yeah.. I like to consider myself a pretty damn good catch. haha.. I guess that's why most of my exes come crawling back eventually. :P Totally spaced on this comment! Sorry about that, Ben! :(

Look on bulletin boards at local bike shops. You'll get a better deal. Commuting 10 miles must be a challenge in Houston. I've only been there on a few business trips (I seem to be going to Dallas all the time), but it never seemed a city that was bike-friendly. I have my riding biks, which was very expensive but I got as a result of an insurance settlement when a lady on a cell phone ran a red light and nearly killed me (I'd never have even considered spending that much of my own money), and a mountain bike that I adapted for a short commute. EIA is a bother. My wife has the problem, augmented by mold spore allergy. That must be a big issue in Houston. She manages it with Accolate and Serevent. So you know tech, like geeky guys, know cars, have a hot body. Amazing. When your ship comes in, get a camera and a small tripod. They are great for self-photos :-) Keep well.

I've done everything from ISP to webhosting tech support. I've been told I have a talent for dumbing down technical issues. :D Once I pay the car off, the place I finance from will sell the payment history to a credit agency. So far, my payments have been on time (even if they're a week late), and they love me there. I don't like how the engine issues could have been identified had they been 100% honest with me. But it could also be due to the same reason why I refuse to let them "fix" the car. I don't trust them mechanically. I'm looking at bicycles right now. I live 10 miles from work. I have an inhaler for my exercise induced asthma. It should be interesting to get into riding a bike more. I'm just torn between getting a bike at Academy for finances sake (much cheaper), or going to a local shop (Houston is surprisingly filled with them), getting great customer service, but paying $200-300 more. =/ A lot of local shops also offer free maintenance/repairs, etc. It's a lot to consider, when you factor in the price difference, you know?

Bad fortune seems to fall in cascades when it comes, doesn't it?. Hoping some good will emerge. I have a short commute on a bicycle, and that is a delight. To be honest, in the snow and ice, I do drive. When my company makes another million, can we hire you for customer support? You are my official fantasy tech support person :-) Ugh.
