And now the countdown...

Well, it took 3 seats but I think I've got it figured out.  I ended up finding the same seat I had but in a thinner model.  I hope this helps.  I have to recondition my butt and the seat but I don't think it's anything that will cause immense pain.  There are literally 10 days until Biking Across Kansas.  (breathe, 1, 2, 3)  Everyone is so very positive and supportive.  I wish I was as confident in myself as they seem to be in me.  But here's the thing about doing something you've never done before, it's kinda scary.  And anyone who tells you different is, well braver than me.  I wonder why my dog is so skittish and I've just come to the conclusion that he takes after me.  Outside my comfort zone, and my anxiety kicks in...and I'm an over thinker so that doesn't help.  So I'm trying not to think about it while also trying to get things prepared.  It's weird.  But I think it's like when I went trail riding for the first time.  Yes the hill is scary, but you're only going to get hurt if you freak out and bail half way down.  So, take a deep breath and hold on.  Then you're on the other side of the hill, wondering why you were so terrified.  Ahh inner monologues you have with yourself.  On the flip side, I can't die on BAK because How to train your dragon 2 comes out the day after we finish...so there's that.

All my coworkers say they will read the blog for BAK updates.  I think it's going to be a HUGE contrast from Rhi's blog.  One she's an english teacher, so she articulate.  I tend to babble. Two this is her sixth year doing it, and thus she's not scared.  But we do have a timeline for BAK's now.  I met a woman a while back who said she'd get a bike tattoo when she gets 10 BAKs under her belt.  Not a bad goal in my mind and Rhi agrees.  So here is the schedule: 5 BAKs = new bike (Rhi just bought her new bike so she's on schedule), 10 BAKs = tattoo.  We will have to see if Rhi stays on schedule :)  If I get that far, I should make a new schedule, wonder what I should do for 15 BAKs...

Any way, I will leave you will my excitement over a cartoon that is coming out, because in reality I'm a 10 year old masquerading as an adult ;)
