THE LOVEMAN IS LEAVING ME
While I was in the Bahamas the Loveman was pretty sick and did the majority of his weekend childcare from his bed. Of course I felt horrible when I heard this. There is nothing worse than watching four kids when you feel like someone has beat the crap out of you.
Today he left work early and went to the doctor. When he walked in the door he looked pretty bad. He told me that he had strep throat and the doctor said he had to stay home for at least 24 hours. He was truly bummed about this but relieved to know that this was why he had been so sick.
About 20 minutes before he walked in the door I received an email from Trek letting me know that my brand spanking shiny new 2008 Madone 6.5 WSD was on its way to my house. After reading this email I just about cried. I started thinking about where it would live in the garage, how I would feel when I saw it, what would I wear when I rode it and would my helmet and shoes match the bike. I felt like a new mom bringing a baby home from the hospital. I was so excited I could barely contain myself!
So after Jim told me about the strep he said, "Well, how was your day?" I didn't know what to say. I hated to hit a man while he was down but I was overflowing with joy and happiness...so I told him. "My new bike is on its way!" He stared at me in disbelief for about five minutes. Finally he cleared his soar scratchy throat and said, "You suck." I clearly wasn't feeling the love. He then told me he was going lick my keyboard, steering wheel and anything else that I was about to come in contact with. He was not so pleased with his bike spoiled Woman Who Rides.
The bike should be here in a day or two and I trying to butter him up and get him ready to assemble the bike as quickly as humanly possible. I guess putting up with his crankiness for a little while is a small price to pay for a fabulous new 2008 Madone 6.5 WSD. I'm thinking about letting him take it out for a spin. We'll see.

If Jim every needs someone to take care of him (sick or well) I will be happy to take over your duties while your riding your new bike. No need to thank me, it's what I would do for a friend.
