Morning, everyone! I did not make it back here yesterday because TCB called me at work. He does that when he won't have time to talk to me in the evening. It's fun, of course, but a tad distracting and I have work to do! But big sigh. Talking to him is just dreamy. Klaudia, are you going to be...

Morning, everyone! Clintonya, don't you hate that? I fell back to sleep after my first alarm, but I build in a cushion because I can't always get up right away. Colleen, I haven't done DM in ages; I should pull it out. Kate, good luck with the home inspection. Did you ask about the recital...

Clare, I agree you should start your own blog. I read Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon and was blown away. Especially for a translation. It was recommended to me by one of my check-in friends here on the Cathe site. It's a very well written book with a lot of strong characters. And I...

Wendy! Lisa! That's who I forgot--sorry! I hope you're both doing great today.

Morning, everyone! A beautiful day on tap here, altho a tad too warm for my taste. I'm looking forward to a slight cool down, which should start Friday or Saturday. Nina, I hear you on the long days. Sorry about your mom; I don't have words of wisdom except to say if you don't deal with your...

Robin, we missed you too! Clintonya, thanks. I was amazed that J's family was so open and warm to me. I talked to a girlfriend on the phone afterward and she theorized that they're all pretty mad at him. It wouldn't surprise me if that's true. I know that of all his wives (I was #3) I was their...

Hey, everyone, am I still welcome here? :o I know I've been a bad check-in friend lately. To make up for it, how about some TCB stories? (Robin, welcome back! TCB stands for The Cute Boy I met a couple months ago.) We had such a great time while he was here. We cooked and laughed and shopped...

Quick drive by--crazy busy at work and home and now J's mother passed away. He called me last night. I'm glad she's at peace, but wow, what did I do to the universe? FYI, TCB and I had a great time together. I don't remember when I've had so much fun. He'd like to come back, but is not sure...

Ack! I'm out of time! Sorry, everyone! I'm leaving for the airport to pick up TCB. Yay! Have a great week and I'll check in as I can. anne

Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas! Whew! What a whirlwind. I just have a few mins because I just got home from the hospital, where my dad was released from ICU. He's in a regular room now, which is very good news. He's improving, but will have to go to rehab for a few weeks after this. We're...

Uh oh, Nina, what happened? {{{HUGS}}} Clintonya, busy busy! At least after the recital you can relax some, right? Colleen, I heard a review of IronMan2 on the radio today and it sounds good. I liked 1 a lot. Klaudia, what if I answer yes? :p Just kidding! That class looks great. I wish I was...

Quick drive by. Is it really 5:45 and I'm just now ready to leave work? Yep, and last night was worse. Crazy busy. No official workout tonight, but I'm going to tap for two hours instead of just one, so I'm counting it. Will catch up on personals tomorrow. Mwah! anne

Quick drive by--I woke up early, so I did MM upper body and CM #1. I can never finish that brutal plank sequence at the end. But I did more of it today than usual, so that is progress. I will take what I can get. Happy cinco de mayo! I forgot all about it, thanks for the reminder, Klaudia! Have...

Thanks, Nina. My sister is there now and my dad is in the hospital. He has a slight touch of pneumonia and may have some damage to his heart. He was very, very dehydrated. My sister said once they pumped him up with liquids he perked up considerably. She also said everything is fixable and she...

Holy crap, how did I forget we were upgrading a server today and needed to test it? I seriously need to keep better track of my calendar. Yikes. Anyway, bad news from my parents' house. :( My dad has a really bad cold or the flu. I found out he was not feeling well when my sister called on...

Becky, {{{{HUGS}}}}} I hope everything is okay! I have spent too much time in hospitals, I know how yucky it is. You and your family are in my thoughts. Nina, yay for good sleep! TCB is coming a week from today. I'm very excited, of course. And no worries on getting Meso 3 back to me, whenever...

Klaudia! We posted at the same time. The poker thing? Not at all what I expected. It wasn't a charity poker tournament at all. It's this gambling house near campus and on this weekend people from the organization I was volunteering for hand out the chips and cash out people and the organization...

Angie, I'm sorry you're not feeling good! You poor thing. Take it easy today and baby yourself, okay? Kate, {{{{HUGS}}}} Angie's right, this trip will create great memories. On the boards for the cruise I was on one person had a horrific story of getting home afterward and they wrote, "Yeah...

Klaudia, how fun to have your brother in town! I hope you enjoy his visit. Katie, sorry for the upset tummy, did lunch go down well? Nina, TCB and I are going to cook a lot and go shopping. There are a bunch of places I want to show him around town, like a really cool music store (he plays...

I like A-Jock's approach, but it sounds like that is outside your comfort zone. Melissa's approach may work better for you. The next time she says anything just ask her point blank, in a very nice voice, "Why are you being rude to me?" That should stop her in her tracks. I'm guessing in her...
