    Cathletes Gettin' To Goal 10/4 - 10/11

    I'm not Nancy, but I thought I'd give you my 2 cents worth on SJP/SB. In a word, this DVD is: FUN!! I'll start with SJP. The floor segment-by itself-is about 20 min. It is so much fun and the choreography is wonderful. The step segment on SJP is about 20 minutes as well; it's short, fun...

    Thanks, Nancy! I didn't see your post until after work, BUT I did NOT eat the M&M's (my spidey-like candy senses were right)!! I decided that I didn't want to meet the fitness center people with M&M breath!! :eek::eek: Tomorrow I will keep reminding myself that the M's are covered with germs...

    Mom ordered to stop babysitting friends' kids!

    How RIDICULOUS!! Not much else to say about it...is absolutely absurd...since when did helping out a neighbor or friend get to be the government's (state, local, or otherwise) business???? :mad::mad:

    Food Scale Recommendation...

    I'm in the market for a good food scale--digital or old school. I'm looking for accurate, easy to use, and can accomodate up to at least 5lbs. Besides weighing food/meal portions, I'd use it for baking and cooking. TIA!! :D

    Yep, Jacque and Linda it was really awful telling the employee's wife that there wasn't any money coming from the company. I hope they had other life insurance. Since starting here 2+ years ago, I've had to process 3 life insurance claims. Yuck! I cry every time!! Linda, thanks for saying...

    Hi! Checking back in. It's been kind of a crappy day at work. I've been busting my tuckus to get us licensed to do business and a contractors license in West Virginia-turns out we may not need it! :mad: Part of my job is also HR/benefits. An employee of ours recently passed away(lung cancer)...

    Who watched DWTS last night? OMG!

    Yikes! Laura, Oh My GOODNESS! Not sure what he was thinking when he signed on for that!! :rolleyes: If he is thinking of reviving his political career, he should fire the genius behind this publicity stunt!! :eek: I don't watch that show. IMHO, the only thing worse than watching people...

    Is it Friday yet??!! YES, it IS!! :D I had my cortisone shot yesterday and it went well. It could take a few days to fully "kick in". I woke up this morning with only a little bit of sciatic pain in my calf; which quickly disappeared once I started "walking" to one of Leslie Sansone's dvds...

    Job interview-advice please!

    BESTICAN, I'm glad you had a good interview! Such a great feeling!! A 4-year degree doesn't always matter. Sometimes experience is better. I've hired accounting employees who either had just a little college or just an accounting class but had so much on-the-job experience & knowledge that...
