Some fun shots from a couple days on the bike
We are just going to repeat this as often as possible for as long as it's warm out. I'll probably have a summer of pictures that look exactly like this.

Day 23 - movement
practicing my dice twirling
Day 24 - on your mind
I am lucky. My life is awesome.
Day 25 - something cute
I think the only thing to rival the cuteness of baby ducks would be baby bunnies.
Day 26 - where you shop
I went shopping last week and did some trading at Buffalo, got workout gear at VS and ordered new motorcycle boots online.
Day 27 - bathroom
When you are lucky enough to have a green room with a bathroom, it's usually got good graffiti.
Day 29 - soft
kitty belly for the win.
Day 28 - on the shelf
a motley collection of treasures

Happy 4th of July!
John and Shannon trivia fact: We both have these shoes, purchased in the early 90s and for some reason, we both packed them around as we moved around. It was funny when we met to have this in common. However, we can't find John's right now, so he had to pose with a real flag like a sucker.

POWER JUNE!
I really like the months that I teach Body Blitz and this time I decided to take it a step further and throw some long runs into the mix to see if I could hang all month. I also decided to stop eating Twizzler Bites (OMG I crave them every day!). Lastly, I started eating more fish. Tuna for lunches and on Sundays, John grills me some salmon that I can use for salads at the beginning of the week. I have to say that I think that the salmon made a difference. I had great recovery times and no hindrances because of hip or knee pain.
For fun I kept track of everything I did. My little morning jogs don't really count as workouts (note that's 1.5-which I think is even a stretch, not 15 :)) but I do them to get my body going and wake up my brain.
BB=Body Blitz (my morning cardio class)
TnT=Tease and Tone (my evening dance class)
CF=Cardio Funk (dance class)
F&F=Flex and Funk (dance class)
I don't generally believe in weighing myself, so I don't know if I lost any pounds or not (my guess is not). However, I will say that my problem area wasn't much of a problem and I love the way I feel after a month of really great workouts. I think I'll do it again in August :)

Nicky Croon!
Saturday night was the 3rd Nicky Croon and the Swingin' Richards Show. We spent the morning getting a workout, had a nice lunch, and then came home to put the final touches on my dance before spiffing up to head downtown for the show!
Typical backstage antics as we start to get ready.
Evie danced:
I danced:
Kim danced:
John and Debbie (and the rest of the crowd) danced:
and then we got to come back on stage for the final number and do a little step tapping together, just like the old days.
heart fingers.
JJ took a little video when Nic was warming up to my song, so here's my walk-through! fun!

Photo Challenge - Weekly Recap
Day 16 - out and about
oh, just a little Saturday trip in Eastern Oregon. No biggie.
Day 17 - in your bag
Living out of a saddlebag requires a strategy, even if only for a weekend. Running clothes top an outfit for Saturday night and an extra shirt and my swimsuit, leaving room for my hoodie in case it's warm enough to ride without it (it was!).
Day 18 - something we don't know about you
I will generally tell you that the red in my hair is because my dad ate so many maraschino cherries but the truth is that I dye it. And aside from a hair style show I did a few years ago, I've never been to a hair salon.
Day 19 - imperfect
Pickles was short-changed in the tail department and the brain department but can run 100 mph if she suspects you might want to pick her up.
Day 20 - fave photo you've ever taken
I can't pick a favorite photo. However, the ones I keep going back to are ones where I like the composition, got a little bit lucky with light and timing, and that have a fun accompanying memory. Every time I look at this shot, I want to smile at my husband and go have an adventure.
Day 21 - where you slept
Day 22 - from a high angle
Our delightful little town as seen from City Grill. A must for any visitor.
