    Need an honest opinion...

    I think you look great, and (to me anyway) your pic shouts "athletic and fit" rather than "suggestively revealing." If you're promoting a fitness business, then this is the perfect type of picture!

    strip club opinion

    After having this very same discussion one night years ago with two close friends (when I was engaged and my one friend was recently married), we decided to check out one of the main strip clubs to see what all the fuss was about. We took a male friend along (for insurance ;)) and I must say...

    indoor grill

    I have one that sits on top of 2 burners and I love it! I, too, have a Foreman grill, and while I like how fast it cooks food, it's a pain to clean. The stovetop grill pan is MUCH easier to clean - just don't let it sit in its "dirty" state overnight (learned that one the hard way! x( ) I...

    Fitness favorites & accomplishments - '07

    Fave Equipment: Treadmill + MP3 player for my iTrain workouts! :D Fave Workout: This is a hard one . . . I'd say a tie between Cathe's kickboxing videos and iTrain #2 (40 minutes). I've also been reaching for the original BC a lot lately (also love the ME/BC Bonus w/o!!!) Unfortunately, my...

    Early Morning Workouts

    "I am so frustrated. I am so tired. I am so sick of working 24-7. Yes, I am a teacher." Ditto to that!!! I love my teaching job, but I hate the hours. Every summer I get myself back in the "fitness groove," only to fall off the wagon every fall. x( I'm up at 5:15 and, like you, get to...

    What book are you reading???

    Thanks, Cathy! I knew someone else here would understand! ;) Let's see if it works . . . I'm also rereading Jhumpa Lahiri's [ {i} The Namesake {/b} ] so that I can teach it for the first time next week. Can't wait!!! Has anyone seen the movie? Does it follow the novel fairly closely...

    What book are you reading???

    Too funny - Ayn Rand is referenced so much in "Boomsday" - it's been awhile since I've read "The Fountainhead," but I may need to check it out again. Maggie: I also teach Beowulf to my seniors and I, too, am feeling a little apprehensive about the new movie (what's up with the kiss??). My...

    Exercise and libido???

    I hear ya on the pill totally squashing your sex drive! DH and I used to be maniacs (to the point where we considered once a day to be a "slow" day!), but after 5 years on the pill, my libido took a nose dive. I also think our different work schedules played a role - that and the fact that I...

    new pill info....

    Melissa: Thanks for the book recommendation - it looks very interesting! Leanne: Glad you liked the book - I love having all of that information! What I've learned about post-BCP cycles is that some women return to their normal cycle patterns right away, and others take a bit longer. I'm...

    VERY O/T RANT - resumes

    No, Nancy, you are NOT a dinosaur! I teach high school English and when the kids groan about "doing grammar," I always tell them stories like yours (I'm adding it to my collection, if you don't mind!). My other pet peeve is the lack of decent vocabularies, which, as Kathryn mentioned, is...

    husbands?

    Uhhhhhh . . . . NO ONE is allowed to witness me during my moments of Cathe glory! }( I don't really care if DH or others see me running on the treadmill, but I consider my huffing, puffing, grunting, and making of not-so-pretty faces at Cathe a very private moment! :D Every now and then DH...
