[August]

Morning! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/merv/office.gif

Guess what's a-cookin' in my entryway? LOL. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/merv/breakdance.gif

Ms. Crock is workin' her magic with beans and barley! Beans! BARLEY! What could be better? Man, I LOVE throwing stuff into the pot, turning it on and then having nothing else to do with it but eat it.

I mean not even STIR! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/dance010.gif

It did, however, take me 15 minutes to figure out how many grams of dang veggie powder I needed to put in for 3 cups of veggie broth LOL.



Well, I'm done with my Gym BSB and am off for the shower! While I was doing my sitting overhead extensions Yoyo came up and sat next to me on my Step...and then dug his head straight into my crotch LMAO. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/sex002.gif Then he proceeded to lick the sides of my exposed stomach which made me start to laugh. Let me tell you, it ain't easy lifting weights up in the air like that. He's such a goofball.


I've got another weekend away, you guys. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/ad/censored.gif


But I've got all of today to enjoy Squirrelness and I'll have a feast at 7pm on the dot!

http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/eatdrink020.gif


All right, have a wonderful day everybody!


DANA - How are you feeling? Were you able to get some good rest?

>That is if I even had an ipod or mp3 player or cell phone. I live in the dark ages.

And I don't have dining chairs.

But we both have Nintendo DS Lites so that must count for something.

>Last night I went grocery shopping & when I got home & was unpacking my bags, there was a box of fixadent denture cream in the bag. LOL There were 2 old men in front of me and I bet it belonged to one of them. WTH am I going to do with this???????
  
LMAO! Do you think they're saying to each other, "How'd these get in our bag? WTH are we going to do with these tampons?"

MICHELE - Now that you're a Mac user, why not put all the stuff from your PC into your Mac and then re-do your iPod to match what is in your Mac?

I know, no more computer talk. What a headache.

Were you able to get some good rest, too?

ROBIN -

>Funny, but Frank is our yowler. He never talked much until we took a vacation. When we got home, he had suddenly turned into a talker. A night talker. A loud, night talker. A loud, when you are trying to sleep night talker. A loud, when you are trying to sleep night talker and stomper upon the bedder. In other words, a huge PIA. But he has a nice purr when he finally settles down, so we keep him around.

LMAO! The thing is, Yoyo doesn't meowl when he's at my place. What on earth would make him meowl endlessly at Mom's? She'll call me and I can hear him MEEEEOWWWWWLL! - ing in the background. He's totally quiet at my place. Not one peep.

By the way, NO birds, no Tit, no nothing. Even Mr. Caw stays out of site. Any advice?

JENNIFER -

>I got a bonus, sunshine, melted snow, and a great flight to NY in June. Thank GOD. Seville and Madrid have been great too.

WOOO HOOOOOOOO! That's great news!



Okay, NOW I'm off for the shower.


:* :*

 

[Miss Lee]

My day descended straight into hell http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/angry018.gif

At least I wasn't out driving around when my car decided to stop working http://bestsmileys.com/anxious/1.gif

And it was nice that I didn't have to wait for hours on end for the $&*^% tow truck http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/angry048.gif

I have an appointment for my annual physical first thing in the morning and now I don't have a car http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/angry045.gif

DH promised to drop me off at the rental place as soon as it opens http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/angry035.gif

AUGIE -- WOO HOO!! Beans and Barley . I want some! I was really quite excited about that recipe, what with my passion for both beans and barely. And to find a crockpot recipe with both ingredients was...was...well it was like an affirmation of all that is right with the world :+ . I needed that today . I want to know how it turns out ASAP!!

ROTFLMAO at Yoyo!!! You need to get Yoyo his own workout. Looky here (someone posted this in the Ask Cathe forum -- it's HILARIOUS!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZPnY9DzNLM

As for my iPod -- we tried to move the stuff from the PC to the iMac and it didn't work. Now when I go to itunes on my PC it says that the folder can't be located http://bestsmileys.com/frustrated/9.gif

I spent the last couple of days re-downloading my CD's so I have most everything back now. It took forever but I'm so glad I had the CD's for back up http://bestsmileys.com/anxious/2.gif

JENNIFER -- your bad weather is expected here tomorrow ;( . Uh oh -- I'm not going to be happy about tooling around in a rental car if the roads are bad ;(

DANA -- ROTFLMAO about the denture adhesive :7

ROBIN, CUZ, JEN -- whassup with you!?

Alrighty, I'm going to bed now. I have to get up mighty early. I'm not sure when I'll get home as I'm supposed to meet a friend for lunch, too. Augie -- I hope you have a nice weekend and you don't have to work too hard. G'night all :* :* :*

 

[August]

LMAO. I love how you started your post.

http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/dance009.gif Descending to hell! Everybody join! LOL.

Hey, why not look at it at an opportunity for adventure! A new (rental) car! The prospect of meeting shifty people! Hangin' in the hospital lobby!

http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/dance020.gif

>And to find a crockpot recipe with both ingredients was...was...well it was like an affirmation of all that is right with the world

Oh, I shall report. I shall report! I can tell you right now that Mr. and Mrs. Bay Leaf are bathing at the top of the luscious soup....and I can tell you it smells mighty good.

Oh yes, I have seen Gizmo the boxing kitty. LOL. I wish I could have filmed Yoyo nuzzling my crotch, although I don't know if it would have gotten many views. At least not in a nice way.

>we tried to move the stuff from the PC to the iMac and it didn't work. Now when I go to itunes on my PC it says that the folder can't be located

Urgh! (You do mean that you go to the iTunes on your Mac, right?)

Well, it seems that you've put all your stuff back in...I'm guessing you did that into your new Mac, right? So now just re-do your iPod and always use your Mac.

http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/king.gif

LOL.

I don't even know what I'm talking about really. All I know is that I hate computer trouble.

>I hope you have a nice weekend and you don't have to work too hard.

Thanks. I never, never do.
http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/springsmile.gif


Have a good sleep, Michele, and I know you'll have a great day tomorrow!!

 

[August]

(deja vu LOL)

Update!

Things smelled so good an hour and a half ago that I broke down and had a small bowl of yesterday's sweet potato stew and let me tell you, it was GOOD....................and now it's 20 minutes until Mom and I go to Bean & Barley Town and.....well,.....I'm not very hungry! LOL! C-R-Y OUT LOUD!

But I will definitely be swayed when I open up the lid and stir it up.

http://bestsmileys.com/halloween3/3.gif Eh heh heh heh heeehhhh!

I mean, it's barley for crying out loud. Gimme a bowl!

 

[buffettgirl]

I can't wait to hear the new international hit, "Descending into Hell." I'm sure Michele will be able to download it to her IPod, but we will have to buy an 8 track for poor cave-dwelling Dana. Even I have an MP3 player. LOL.

Mmmmm, barly and beans. I would love to try the Sweet Potato stew tomorrow, but, alas, anti-bean DD will be home. Maybe Monday, when she has an evening class.

{{{Michele}}}Sorry about your car woes. Good luck with the doctor appointment.

I'm headed for work. Yay for the upcoming weekend. I think we are only going to get rain from the next big storm, but every now and then one of the forecasters slips in the nasty s word. I have to stop at the grocery store for some fruit and will have to wrestle with all the milk and bread stocker uppers. Sheesh. See you later. Oh yeah, I'm planning a CC on the bike later today. Bye.

 

[August]

>but we will have to buy an 8 track for poor cave-dwelling Dana.

O-M-G, that really made me laugh!!!!!

Good luck stocking up, Robin! Don't grab anybody's dental cream!




You guys. I have some unfortunate crock news. The recipe specifically noted not to use pearled barley......I have no idea what kind of barley I bought (I tried to explain it to the store and bought the "barley closest to nature" LOL), but now I know that this was not the barley to use.

I do love goop.

But i'm not so much for glue.




Poor Mom, she said, "No, no, I like it. It's like...nothing I've had before."


x(


But the best part was cooling off the mongo leftovers (since we didn't eat much of it). Mooch saw it there and he started swatting at it! Mooch was swatting at the bean and barley stew leftovers! LOL. That's kind of how I felt about it, too.

 

[JT]

Good Morning Haters.


SOME MORE GOOD NEWS; My Dad test results from MAYO came back EXCELLENT!! Normally, he would have another 3 month check up in May but they told him don't come back for another 6 months and then after that, it will be an annual visit.

Plus, I finally decided to get rid of my old VHS workouts, except for a few, and a couple of my workout DVDs. Jane Fonda is going, most of Gin Miller, all of Keli Roberts, all of the Firm are finding a new home. I've used clear shipping tape to tape the Firm workouts to the wooden high step. They are heading to a small ministry in a small community just 15 miles east of my home on Saturday.

Yesterday, on the way to work, my car slid on some black ice and almost hit a van. Good news, there I didn't nail it.

No more snow, no more snow. We're at 98.5" and holding. And, none of that white stuff for the rest of you. Driving a rental is anxiety enough, the snow won't help.


Ok, this weekend, I'll be back to check on the crockpot.

Michele-Understand your sister being depressed, normal stages of grieving (a relationship).


BBL tonight.

 

[purple_magada]

Hiya haters!!!!!

August - wow, that sucks that your meal, um, sucked! At least you know not to make that one again. Aside from the glue, did the broth have much flavor? Enjoy your weekend away!

Michele - what are we going to do with you? You really need a vacation, you know it?

Jennifer - thank God you didn't get into an accident yesterday. I'm with you, no more snow!!!

Robin - hi!!! Are you off today? Enjoy your workout.

Jen - are you feeling better?

I'm at work. I feel much better then yesterday but I'm pretty stuffed up. I didn't get to workout last night and I really wanted to. And now I'm not sure if I'll have time tonight. Gabe asked me to take him to this thing at a local church. They are setting up some kind of electronic race track and the kids can bring their hot wheels, matchbox, those types of cars to race. It starts at 6:00 so I have no time before to workout. I guess I'll have to see what time I get home.

I'm really busy so I can't stay and chat. Talk to you all later.

 

[JenL13]

I think I need to join the "I hate to not be able to workout" check-in... I am so sad right now. I want to work out so bad but I just don't have the energy to do so and I know that forcing myself to workout when I'm like this will not do me one bit of good but I can't help but feel guilty, Wed was my scheduled night off (hair cut/highlights), yesterday I was sleeping 90% of the day/night, and today I worked and came home with the intent to w/o but I just can't.

Sorry to be a downer, I feel like a slug & not happy about it. Why oh why can't I feel good enough to workout? :-( x( :-( x( :-(

 

[JT]

Jen,
Please dont' be so hard on yourself. Last week, I had no shoveling for 3 days and didn't workout. For me, partial winter blues cause winter never ends and also just tired of the same routine all the time. What worked for me, I accepted the fact that I wasn't going to workout, took the pressure off of myself, enjoyed life a bit, then came back refreshed.
No energy might be low iron. Or, a sun lamp might be helpful too.

Enjoy your weekend and Have Fun!!

 

[Miss Lee]

UPDATE...wait a minute -- I have to fetch the proper icon...Okay I'm back...here it is http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/angry018.gif

My car is still in the shop http://bestsmileys.com/anxious/1.gif

They need to keep it until Monday http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/angry048.gif

The repairs will cost roughly 2G's http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/angry045.gif

I didn't get a rental car today because we're in the midst of a blizzard and a snow emergency was declared http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/angry035.gif

I missed my annual physical exam

My Cardioke workout came today

I sipped a lovely green tea as I watched a guy with a snowblower plow out my driveway

AUGIE -- Oh man, I wonder what kind of barley you're supposed to use? The only kind I can get here is the pearled. I just might have to make it the old fashioned way -- in pot on the stove top

Poor Mom, she said, "No, no, I like it. It's like...nothing I've had before."
Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!

ROTFLMAO at a video of Yoyo doing you know what to your you know what }( :7 :7 :7

Oh yes -- I now have my iTunes library on my iMac, but I haven't reformatted my iPod. It seems to be working fine and I think I'll just leave well enough alone. I'll probably get a new iPod when Cathe comes out with audio workouts anyway.

ROBIN -- Which CC did you do today? I napped in lieu of a workout today . I was just so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open. I have a nasty cold and I'm sure all the headaches I've been getting lately are sinus related. Do you have the weekend off? Oh GAWD, I hope you don't get our weather. I'm sure Jennifer sent it my way . It's been so nice here lately -- sunny and fairly warm -- but we had a rude awakening this morning. The forecast calls for 10" - 14" of snow by tomorrow afternoon . I think I'll sip hot cocoa when my snowblower man comes back tomorrow http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/evilgrin.gif

JENNIFER -- Hallelujah!!! What wonderful news about your dad!!! I'm so happy for you and your family :* . I got rid of a bunch of old VHS workouts last year when I was going through a fly lady decluttering workout

DANA -- I'm so glad you're feeling better. I tend to worry about you, young lady, because you never seem to get a break. Between your job and 2 small children, you're just constantly running. I hope you have time to pamper yourself this weekend, even if it's only in a small way :*

JEN -- I'm so proud of you for listening to your body for a change . I know it's hard for you to skip a workout, but you won't lose anything for it, and to work out when you're sick and exhausted could actually be detrimental. Take care and take another day off if you're not any better, or at least keep it to something low key like yoga or a good stretch. :*

OMG my DH just called and he's driving home from work ;( . We have a level 2 snow emergency here ;( . He worries me to death!!! ;( . He said if he's going to get snowed in, he wants to get snowed in at home :7 ...;(

Alrighty, I'm going to feed Johnny, who this minute is having a hissy fit :7
