Sigh. It's Friday


Sigh. It's Friday. I feel like I'm just one more rat in the rat race. Something's got to give. I'm sitting here trying to get my spanish homework done before my lesson at 10:30 AM. I'm enjoying it, and wish I could go off and study Spanish full time for six months. I never have time to do my homework in the evening. Dinner, dishes, playing with the boys, reading to them, catching up on e-mail, and trying to get to the end of my never-ending to-do list always bumps spanish study out of the picture.

I'm really wanting to ride more. I finished some maintenance on my bike yesterday (finally) and now I need to ride. I just get so bored riding by myself. I may not be much of a talker, but get me on a bike and I'll probably talk too much for your liking as you struggle for air up a long hill. Maybe that's why I don't like to sit still and talk. I always have something I want to do. But when I'm riding on a bike I'm doing something, and there's also nothing else to do but talk. I saw a group of about seven guys riding fast towards Puyo the other evening about 6 PM. I'd like to find out how to ride with them. It would be good for me. Also would be a way to use some Spanish.

OK, back to the preterite tense of regular -ir and -er verbs.
