Yoyo and Lulu have been at their own home for the past two nights and Mooch, Cham and I have been living in luxury! LMAO. We three have gotten the best sleep these last two days!

Now if only the workload would lighten. http://bestsmileys.com/peeing/2.gif


JENNIFER -

>Enjoy your cupcakes on Monday,that might mean cardio for you this weekend.

http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/angry051.gif

Yes, thank you. I will enjoy the cupcakes on Monday. http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/innocent/innocent0009.gif

Glad to hear your weather is getting better!

MICHELE - Hi there, I've been thinking about you non-stop. How are you doing?

>fried chicken and mashed potatoes

Woo hoo! You gotta do that sometimes. I'm glad it was good. Keep your fingers crossed that the cupcake place really has cupcakes. I looked online at the store and all I could find was info on pancakes. http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/scared/scared0014.gif But they're SUPPOSED to have the famous New York cupcakes, so wish me luck!

JEN - Hey, did you enjoy the earthquake? It sounds like it must have been a pretty healthy one. We get them all the time in Japan. It's much better to have those burps rather than a big ol' regurgitation!

>I now clean 3 litter boxes daily and vacuum upstairs & downstairs daily.

LOL. I hear you, girl, ooooooh, do I hear you. Only, taking the vacuum out every day takes too much effort LOL so I end up crawling around on my hands and knees picking up all sorts of stuff all day.

>On top of that I've been cooking for Chad & I about 3-4 times/week sometimes more so that takes time too.

My goodness! And here we all thought you didn't even cook! That lucky man! Let him cook for you, too, now, you hear!

>Chad is trying to understand my moods & give me space but it's hard for him. Says he doesn't like being apart from me.

Everyone/cat wants to be a part of Jen! I can see that. I hope Chad will get the gist of Alone Refreshment Time, as it is so important.

Hope you had a good half day!





Okay guys, I've got to get myself to work now. I'm working at home today but have yet another deadline for Monday. http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/scared/scared0001.gif I've had no space of mind to figure out workout time, but plan to be on the ball with it as soon as I can get up for air!

Laters!

Hello August and Haters to Follow.

We did feel the quake here, being two hours outside of Chicago towards the NE. Lake MI had to have been wild to stir up our weather patterns now. It woke me from a deep sleep and the cats were going nuts. The last tremor, I remember here, was about 23 years ago and I was on an overpass and my Cavalier was hopping all over the place.

August-Do you have Ben & Jerry's over there too? I have heard alot of American franchises are there. Enjoy your cupcakes on Monday, have one for me too.

Michele-what time is dinner?

Just did KM for the first time in a long time. HCE has made it less threatening or seems less difficult.

Time to get ready to blow a huge chunk of my paycheck at Meijer. It won't be cheap.

I did a CC workout yesterday. It was quite an accomplishment because I REALLY struggled to even get started. It was one of those I-really-don't-want-to-but-I-HAVE-to-do-cardio moments :p ...

Which begs the question, why don't I EVER get an endorphine high? One of the arguments for doing cardio is that it's supposed to give you a natural high--lift your mood and all that. Rubbish, RUBBISH, I say! That never happens to me. Do some people have endorphines and some don't? I feel cheated! Thank God for Cardio Coach. I may not get an endorphine high from it, but listening to that voice is the next best thing :p . Thank goodness I don't have cardio on the docket for today -- I'm planning to do either Power Hour or Push Pull.

I'll be getting together with friends today, and with my IL's tomorrow, so I have kind of a busy weekend on tap. What about y'all?

AUG -- thank you for all your warm thoughts and kind words. It's so wonderful and a great comfort to have such caring friends.

I'm glad that you've gotten some good alone time with your squirrels. I'm sure they appreciate not having to share their mommy. How much time are Lulu and Yoyo spending at your place these days?

I hope your workload lightens soon! We really miss you around here, young lady!

OMG I googled New York Cupcake and this is what I found...

and there's tons more!!! http://bestsmileys.com/drooling/3.gif

You absolutely MUST get one and report back to us, k!?

JENNIFER -- You always do such KILLER workouts! I don't do ANYTHING with the word "extreme" in the title :p . I wish I had your oomph!

I guess some people around here felt the quake, but I must've slept right through it.

JEN -- There you are! We've missed you, too. I'm glad there was no damage or personal harm from the quake.

Oh man, If there's one aspect to kitty care that I could live without, it's tending to the litter boxes and all the attendant chores that go with it. It's a good thing I love my Johnny :p

Hey, with all this cooking you've been doing, maybe you should just get out of the home mortgage business and become a personal chef. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/eatdrink061.gif

Robin, Dana, Cuz, and all -- what are you guys up to? I miss ya :*

I'm off to scrounge up some brekkie and do my workout. I cannot afford to procrastinate today :p . I'll BBL if I can. :*
 
Morning Sunday Haters!

This morning an order of litter came, and since Mooch and Cham were in the room next to the front door, I decided to just close that door while the delivery guy was here.

M-i-s-t-a-k-e!

Of course the monsters were totally desperate to see what was going on and started scratching at the carpet...and by the time the delivery guy left, they'd pried the carpet up enough so that I could NOT open the door to the room!! LOL!!!! :eek:

Ultimately I ended up getting the door open enough so they could both squeeze through and go into the main room, and then I ended up having to push the door in with all my might, pulling up half the carpet in the room itself LMAO.

Ah, adventures in Squirrel Land.



JENNIFER - Ben & Jerry's. Hmm. I can't remember ever seeing B&J's here. There is Baskin Robbins (which is called Twenty-Four) and also Haagen-Dazs. But none of those goopy, junky, filthy, flab-inducing fudge-chocolate-cake-candy--cookie dough-caramel-anyothercrapyoucanthinkof flavors that I hold so dear to me.

MICHELE - Good for you for doing your CC! Oh yes, the endorphine high. I believe I've read this happens in people under 5% body fat and are at the point of fainting from dreaming of glazed donuts?

Have fun with your friends today!

Yoyo and Lulu spent another 5 days entirely at my place just when my workload was at its peak LOL. But they've been sleeping over at their own home since Friday night. They came for a little visit yesterday, and I'm wondering when Mom's going to call me today to ask if they can come over for a romp. :)

Oh wow, there are actually cupcakes called New York Cupcakes! They look AWESOME! Actually, I meant that these cupcakes I found are famous in New York. They are supposed to be the same as the famous Magnolia's Cupcakes (I would have written the name earlier, but I'd forgotten it).

http://www.magnoliacupcakes.com/

24 hours from now, if things are right in the world, I shall be consuming them. And I won't be greedy. I shall eat one for you, Michele, and also for you, Jennifer. Oh heck, I'll be happy to eat one for all the Haters! Spread the love!



Okay, I'm off to work now. Have a wonderful Sunday!
 
Hey Augie!

OMG how funny that I found an actual bakery called New York Cupcake -- lol! I thought that was the name of the place you were talking about. I never heard of Magnolia's, but I just found some You Tube video's about it. I think you could find a video of just about anything on YT ;)

I just posted a thread about blue jeans -- lol! I bought a pair of jeans today and the tag says to dry clean them! Do you guys dry clean your jeans, for crying out loud? I checked the fabric content and they're 98% cotton and 2% lycra. Why would they need to be dry cleaned?

So now I'm askeered to wash them. What if I wash them and they shrink? They fit so well -- I'd hate to ruin them, but DRY CLEAN JEANS!? That's crazy!

Aug -- LMAO about your squirrels and the carpet fiasco :7 . My weeny dogs once ripped a carpet to shreds trying to dig their way out of a room :p . Unfortunately, it wasn't our carpet :eek: . We were at my IL's cottage ;(

Okay, I'm going to bed now. My IL's invited me to a fund raiser tomorrow, and then we're going out to dinner, so I may not make it back to the forums until Monday. Take care and I'll see you later :*
 
Hi, silly Michele!

Dry clean blue jeans?! That sounds nuts...but if they fit you poifectly.....urgh, that would sure suck to wash them to find out that they weren't lying about the dry cleaning!

I did wash a shirt of mine that said dry clean only and it was totally fine....for a week or so. Then slowly it started to disintegrate. It was really bizarre.

>My weeny dogs once ripped a carpet to shreds trying to dig their way out of a room :p . Unfortunately, it wasn't our carpet :eek: . We were at my IL's cottage ;(

LOL! Bahaa, at your IL's cottage! Whoops.

When I tried to open the door to the room Mooch and Cham were, at first I was finally able to get it open a wedge, and they were both standing behind the raised up carpet right up against and blocking the door and they both had expressions "Hi."

Anyway, have a nice sleep and a wonderful outing with your ILs tomorrow. I'm going back to working on a song that is slowly driving me to appreciate cupcakes even more. :D
 
Hello Haters.

After seeing those pics of cupcakes, does this place deliver? New York Cupcake.

No workout this AM, last night went well for dinner. I had a scare with Seville last night so I came right back home from Holland.

It looks like rain.

Have a Great Day!!
 
Hey, Jennifer,

No kidding about the delivery LOL! I'd pay for shipping gladly! I don't mind a little stale!

Hey, everything okay with Seville?


I got the call from Mom to come get Yoyo and Lulu because they were going berserk. I picked them up and brought them to my place, and sure enough, Yoyo especially was being an absolute NUT BALL. He was zipping around at top speed and sticking his head into anything he could LOL. This of course inspired everyone else and it was a mad house. It sounds like things have quieted down a bit, so maybe it's safe to take a shower now. :)
 
Happy Sunday haters! I have been up since 5:30 this morning. x( Not sure why but instead of just laying there I got up & made a trip to the grocery store for the 2nd time this weekend. Why can't I find 1 store that carries everything I like?? x(

I made chicken/green beans/low sodium cream of chicken soup dish, spinach pancakes, & salad w/ lot of veggies for dinner last night. Tonight is "Mr. Crock tacos", LOL! I've been having fun putting new things in this, today I'm doing- chicken, can of rotel, jar of black bean & corn salsa, roasted red peppers, green/red/orange peppers, sweet onion, hot banana peppers, 2 bay leaves, & red pepper/garlic seasoning. Last time I did it the exact same way but no banana peppers- I got the hot ones since Chad like spicy things!

Yesterday workout: High Step Training & 10 min butt w/o
Today workout: MIC Hi/Low, KPC leg drills, & 30 min hip/butt/thigh w/o

I think I'm going to do 4DSKB cardio only later, since I have been up so long already didn't have the energy so will try to do later.

August- Sounds like it will be a fun day at your house today! What have you made in Mr. Crock lately? Any certain recipes you're looking for? I could look through my books for you, just let me know.

Michele- I am very sorry to hear about your friend. Although I haven't been posting much I do try to keep up on reading & have had your friends family & you in my prayers. (((HUGS))) I wouldn't worry so much about washing the jeans, just be careful with the dryer. I've washed plenty of dry clean stuff- just do it on gentle cycle.

Jennifer- How are things with you? What was the scare with Seville? What workout are you doing today?

Well I hope to be back later. Chad went to his grandmas today, invited me to go with him but the cats have really been craving my attention A TON. Sport is jealous so needs extra attention & Sami is still getting used to everything & I can tell she is much more comfortable when I'm home. She spends a lot of time under a recliner in the basement when I'm gone...but comes running upstairs when I get home. I am really glad to have her, animals bring so much joy to life and is so much fun getting to see all the unique personalities!
 
Hello Haters,

Just woke up from my nap with Seville and Madrid. They are very supportive with the cat napping stuff.

Last night, I bought foot spray from Meijer. Seville was lying on my bed. It caused fog in my room and Seville freaked out. Later, his eye started draining so I was sure how much he got by his eyes or breathing it in. Before I left, he was acting normal and not ill last night. My eyes burned from it, not sure if I want to use it again.

No workouts planned as of yet tonight. It might change though.
