HATE - Jan 5

August

Cathlete
Hi there!

Sorry I didn't get around here yesterday. I took Mom to the hospital for the shot for the nerves in her neck, and saw the doctor and the doctor said that we can now try switching to pills (instead of shots 3x a week) since she's doing so much better. Yay!

So now Mom has to take pills. 3x. A day. Boo!

She'll do this for 2 weeks and then we'll go see the doctor again to see how that's going.

After that we had a nice 30 minute walk home. Then I took a nap, and then ended up being out until midnight blah blah blah came home, got in bed soon after, and then couldn't sleep until 4:30am LOL.

ANYWAY! I'm awake now and I'm done with my workout and my smoothie.

The Workout : Cardio & Weights, only I decided to do a premix, and I chose what turned out to be the wrong one. I decided I wanted to do cardio and upper body, so I chose what I thought would be it -- but it turned out to be upper body only, and after 15 minutes, it was finished! So I popped in Tamilee and did an arm section to round out my upper body 35 minutes.

The Smoothie : Frozen banana blueberry peanut butter whey bran smoothie. It was thumbs up. I bet it would taste even better without the powdered greens in it LOL.

DANA -

> Stitches the Clown, huh? He looked totally creepy like a homicidal maniac

Puppet or not, clowns are creepy.

>is a swinger and an appetizer the same thing????

LMAO. Is that what they have written at Blue Note? You should see some of the awful English mistakes and weirdness they have in Japan. Sometimes it's awesome. Like one time I found (please - those with pure souls, forgive me) a sweatshirt being sold with Santa in his sleigh high in the sky, waving to the children with a big grin and rosy cheeks, and underneath the caption read : SANTA CLAUSE HAS COME IN MY TOWN!

Wait, did I write about that last year? Someone tell me I didn't.

Hey, were you able to find out what was giving Gannon pain? Was it a UTI? I hope he's okay.

The class for Gabe sounds like it was fantastic. I'm so glad to hear that. And I, too, am a fairly firm believer of not taking medicines, and I commend you for holding your ground on that issue, and helping Gabe find the healthiest route. And well, like Michele wrote and how the doctor mentioned, just see how things go. The options are always there down the road if absolutely needed. Certainly my mom did well with shots and didn't have to do any neck surgery, for which we're grateful.

Off hand your comments about the doctor sounded like she might be good, but how's your feeling for her?

>Instead I had a left over baked pork chop, asparagus, a baked sweet potato and sugar fee jello w/ff cool whip for dessert.

You saved yourself massive fat calories and heart-clogging junk, Dana! Good for you!!! That is really kicka$$!

> (being the hater I am, I didn't do the blasts cuz well, I hate them)

LMAO. I hear you. We all hear you. Good for you for doing your workout!

I hope you had a fun time celebrating your DH's birthday! The ice cream cake sounded yum!

DIANE - Rolling over? Already? OMG. How can that be? I mean, I still clearly remember you guys TALKING about getting pregnant. OMG. Anyway, it's nice to see you back!

JENNIFER -

>we're having subs, cake, and other high caloric food items that I won't resist.

LMAO! That's refreshing to hear! too funny. I wouldn't want to miss out either. You've been working out really regularly, so it shouldn't make a dent anyway.

So have you made contact with that guy who popped up again from a year ago?

MICHELE - Urgh, computers! Are we talking computer trouble, or internet trouble? If it's computer trouble, you know what we all have to say to that.

>I must admit, I was ROTFLMAO at you and the nude kitty bathing -- LMAO!!! You're so lucky Mooch didn't scratch your you-know-what, young lady

Don't you mean lucky that Mooch didn't scratch my you-know-whats? LOL. Whatever, I was lucky.

>I found kitty puke behind a chair once and God only knows how long it had been there.

LMAO! I wish my place were big enough to not be able to know how long barf had been somewhere! Wait, that doesn't sound right. Anyway, that must have been quite a surprise to pull the chair out and find a little gift LOL.

Urgh, the hair appointment sounds awful. Didn't that happen before? Are they going to give you some free treatment like you deserve?

JEN - Glad you're feeling better, and glad to you're taking it easy-ish. And thanks for the email. It was cute.

Good for you for taking a lunch! Were you happy to have something like that over nuts or whatnot?

Did you have a nice visit with Chad? You don't have to actually answer that. I know the answer.

ARISTA - Hey you!

>I mean really, what good is it to post in a Cathe forum checkin if I'm not working out?

I don't have time to look for an eye-roll icon today, but puhleeeze! If you'd been posting, you'd have known that I, too, started a rotation at the beginning of the year after a several month hiatus!

You got two kittens, too! Wow! Are they siblings? What are their names? Are they totally having fun?

Now, what is this about Ryan and a house and maybe having babies and stuff?

Somebody update my brain - did you guys marry? Did I know that? Wait, wait, it's coming back to me...you proposed and he'd said yes? Is that right?



On that emoticon-less note, I must go and work now. I'm in my work room with a small heater on...and no humidifier, and now I can really tell the difference in the air.

On a similar note, my giant humidifier has been having indigestion and burps bubbles very loudly every few minutes. I looked up in the manual how to correct it, and it said that air was being trapped, so to take the water jug part out, turn it over and release the air, and that's what I've been doing..several times a day. It totally bugs me! Not to mention it bugs Mooch!

But it's better than being dry, eh?

I know. I gotta call the store and ask them what to do. Hhh. Monday, I guess.

Okay, WORK!

Have a nice day!! :*


ETA : At the end of the year, someone sent me a lovely big box of apples -- and yesterday, someone else sent me a lovely big box of apples. I could sell apples. I have that many. I could vend apples. LOL.
 
Here's a quiz for you all.

Q : What happens when you decide to do a good deed by cleaning your Mom's filthy heater filters by putting them on Mom's cream carpet to clean them with a vacuum cleaner?
 
Hello Haters.
Thank GOD, it's the weekend. Right now, I'm seriously considering taking a rest day from working out and get back at it on Sunday.
A small group went for dinner last night, I bought my Supervisor's dinner. The bill blew me away from Longhorn. It's not positive what will happen on Monday. Prayers are needed for my work enviornment.

As for Mark, we're in communication but no date to meet yet. Althought, I'm sure I've seen him in person at this rather large church not too far from home.

To answer your quiz question: A: Very messy and dusty.

We missed you yesterday, August. You bring life to Hatersville.
Give the squirrels a hug for us.


BBL.
 
Hey, Jennifer,

That was generous of you to pay your Supervisor's (farewell?) dinner. What a bummer to have to be shocked by the bill. But I'm sure your Supervisor must know how much it cost and must have felt really appreciative. Anyway, sending good vibes for your work and somehow managing to get some rest somewhere in between.

>We missed you yesterday, August. You bring life to Hatersville.

What a nice thing to say. Thank you.

I'll try to use more smilies tomorrow to keep up my good image. :D

>To answer your quiz question: A: Very messy and dusty.

Man, you got that right!

>Give the squirrels a hug for us.

I will certainly do that. :) I'll even throw in some slobber kisses and bum-bum scratches. :D

Well, I'm still working but it's getting close to 1:30am so I'm thinking I might wrap things up.

Have a great Saturday! :*
 
Good morning August and Jennifer, and everyone!

I slept in really late this morning :eek: . I think my cold symptoms are coming back again. I have a little headache and I can feel some congestion building in my chest ;( . It's not so bad right now so I think I'll OD on fluids today and maybe take some extra Vit C. My workout today is going to be PS CST and a 30 min. cardio -- probably one of my many walking DVD's.

We're going computer shopping this weekend. We've been thinking about getting an iMac. They came out with a new OS called Leopard, and I've been reading some pretty bad reviews on it. People are complaining about freezing and hanging, which is exactly the kind of problems we're having with our current computer. I'd be pretty upset if we got a new computer and had the same old problems. Do any of you have the new Mac OS, and if so, do you like it?

August - I'm so glad your mom doesn't need any more of those shots! I know it's a drag to have to take 3 pills a day, but it sure beats going to the hospital for a shot. And think of how much free time you'll have now that you don't have to escort your mom to the hospital :D . That's more time to play with us :D :*

What a nice surprise when you're expecting a long workout and it 's short. Now that's the kind of surprise I like!:p

ETA that I forgot to tell you what happened to me yesterday! I was getting ready to work out. I went to my workout room to look at my schedule and lo and behold!, it was a rest day!

It was like a gift from heaven :D :p

Your smoothie sounds great! I think this is the year when I will get a new blender and start making fun smoothies!

>Here's a quiz for you all.

Q : What happens when you decide to do a good deed by cleaning your Mom's filthy heater filters by putting them on Mom's cream carpet to clean them with a vacuum cleaner?


ROTFLMAO!!! Oops...uh oh! So did the dirt come out of the carpet?:p

Jennifer - I agree, it was very nice of you to pick up the tab for your boss! A rest day might be a good idea. You've been really good about working out on top of all the shoveling you've had to do! I think you should treat yourself to something really fun and enjoyable today. And I agree with you that Haterville comes to life when Augie Doggie's in town!

Hello to everyone else! I need to skedaddle. DH and I haven't had breakfast and it's already time for lunch :eek: . I'll see youse tomorrow :*
 
Hello Haters.

Thank you for your positive vibes and prayers, I have peace about the future but will take it one day at a time.

Picking up the tab was part of her Christmas gift but I covered a co-worker's beer too on top of my own.

No workout today. Sun AM is PUB/PLB together. Time for church.

Have a Great Night.
 
Hello haters! I was MIA yesterday- met up with Tara after work for dinner/drinks & then Jenny, my hairdresser, wanted to met up with us for a drink so as we were leaving Friday's to go meet her, 2 of my cousins were walking in for dinner. So after they finished dinner they met up with us also, then another friend of mine joined, Jenny went home, and we all went to another place to listen to a band. I stopped drinking but stayed out with them until 1!!!

This morning I ran errands and cleaned a little before heading to ACE for the APL. After that Tara, mom, and I went to eat as Tara & I hadn't eaten since dinner last night. I then came home, did some laundry, worked out, and now here I am. I am going to bed by 10 tonight so I don't get sick again. Chad has the boys this weekend, talked to him earlier & supposed to call him sometime tonight. I think we're getting together tomorrow evening.

August- Your smoothie does sound really good & great job on the w/o! Happy to hear your mom can switch to pills instead of having to go in for shots!!! :) Of course Chad & I had a good time! }( :) }( Apples, eh? I saw on a show the other day a good idea for a snack or quick b-fast- get a whole wheat wrap, spread some PB on it, cut up apples slices on top, roll and eat...sounds easy enough for us non-cookers!

Jennifer- Prayers coming your way that everything works out for the best. Keep us posted on the man front!

Michele- You better get plenty of rest so you don't get sick again! That is how my cold started, headache & congested. Be careful! What did you end up having for b-fast/lunch? Let us know what you decide on the computer, I'm going to get a new laptop soon & not sure what I want to get either...

Okay, well I am going to finish doing laundry & roam the internet/cathe.com for a bit. Probably should play with Sport some too then call Chad and be in bed early. See you haters tomorrow!
 
Guess what I got ? :D :D :D

I got a brand.new.MacBook Pro :D

I got the big one :D

Now I just need to figure out how to use the darn thing :p

I was going to get an iMac but DH really thought it was better to go with a laptop. I was hesitant at first but then I made a discovery -- you can get a matte screen with the MacBook, a feature not offered on the iMacs. The iMacs have a glossy screen and it bothered my eyes. This laptop is HUGE!! It's really too big for my lap, but I love the monitor and I can see it so much better than the 15".

Jen - It sounds like you had a crazy day as usual! What did you and Chad do this evening?

Jennifer - How was your service?

Okay, DH is waiting for me -- we're going out for dinner. I'll see y'all in the morning. :*
