A "MELTIE" Monday!

YAY KARA! Good to see you. Now I just gotta track down Shellers. Hmmm...

Does anyone else think it's kinda sad when you visit a profile of one of your "friends" and see you have the option to "break friendship"? Okay, okay, I'm taking this a bit personally, no?

I'll go run some errands and chill out. I may have to get those KOS pants... and see if they make my rear view LONG. We are NOT having any of that.

SHELLEY - WHERE ARE YOU???
 
I think the reason this thread is below the weekend one is because people have posted on the other thread today. Just a thought. Just ran home quick and have to get back to work. I did not go to the gym today, so will tomorrow. I forgot socks. What a no mind. BBL
 
Does anyone else have a problem with the post screen being so big, you have to scroll from side to side to read it? I can't seem to make it smaller. It's a pain!

Still busy here. Hi Kara! You sneaky pest, you!

I'm becoming the world's worst personnaler. I'm having such a hard time finding my way around the forum, that by the time I'm ready to post a reply, I've forgotten what I wanted to say to everyone. And I've lost several posts by going Back by mistake. Arrrgghhgh.
 
Kara!!! -- I am soooo sorry that I forgot to say "hi" this morning! I always worry that I'm going to forget someone, and I realized in the middle of this morning's workout that I missed you! {{{HUGS}}}!! WTG on that workout! I know -- it's very, very creepy that we're being tracked. People can see were we've been and who's pages we've looked at. I don't like it at all. :mad: Have fun with the car stuff --- ug! Back to say: Are you still looking for workout clothes for the RT? I noticed in the JC Penney ad yesterday that they had some super cute Adidas stuff on sale!

Breckie -- Hooray for Nap Max and your day off! Sounds like you needed some good rest since you pushed yourself so hard with that run! LOL about the "friendship breaking" -- it makes me sad, too! I keep thinking about how sad I'll be if someone wants to break up with me!;)

Tneah -- Hey, sweetie! Sounds like your body knows when it craves some more protein and iron. Shall we plan for next week, then, to head to SD Fit? Shall we get lunch again, too? I'm already looking forward to it!:D What kinds of goodies will you get for the boys? Maybe I'll hold off on those KOS pants, esp. if we're gonna hit up SD Fit next week. Sounds like the Slim Series is a nice change of pace, but it's too bad that it's a yawn-er!

Shelley, babe -- Where are ya' at this morning? We miss you!!!

OK, just finished my shake so gotta jump in the shower and head out. Love to you all! BBL!

Does anybody know where in the heck Shelley is? We usually email and I haven't heard from her AT ALL and I'm worried.

Sorry for the 'drive by" again... just had a big staff meeting. Things are okay, but not quite over. I'm going to eat lunch, then meet with the other writer to hash a few more things out. What an interesting Monday.

And I'm totally ashamed that I have not read anything above and haven't done personals!

And how in the heck do you do smilies? Whenever I click on one, it ends up right next to the title box, not in the text! Maybe I'll just do this from now on... :)
 
Hey guys,

Here is how to make your whereabouts private. Go the the top under User CP, then on the next page, go to Edit Options and check the first box.:DYews, I figured something out, I am sooo proud.

Shellers where the heck are ya darlin?

I did 60 minutes on my treadmill, I used the walking series by itrain for 30 minutes, then listened to an old Seattle band called "Mother Love Bone" for the next thirty. Thank goodness that is over with.

Off to shower, shave and shine...is the "friend thing" kinda weird to you guys too? I know that is the big thing on Facebook and Myspace, I'm still trying to figure out the relevance. You all are my friends...that is all I need to know. I do not mean to keep complaining about the new forums, its just human nature I think...change is icky, when you were perfectly happy with the old ways right? Am I getting old?:eek:
 
Ok, so I've decided that I don't like these new forums. I feel all out of sorts and disconnected from you guys and I honestly have no interest in being here. The background is much darker than the previous forums and I'm having such a hard time navigating around here. I don't know. It's probably just a mix of me being in the crappiest mood ever and the fact that I have to deal with change. I hate change. A lot.

I have never felt so fat and gross in my life as I do today. I wish I hadn't eaten so badly this weekend.

Oh, and today is my parent's 35th wedding anniversary. yep. 35 years down the tubes. My Dad emailed us all to remind us (I had actually forgotten) and he asked that we all contact my Mom to say Happy Anniversary. Um, HELL NO. I can just hear it now. "Oh, hi Mom! Happy Anniversary! Hope the divorce proceedings are going well!!!"

Yeah. Right. It's so sad. We used to do really special things for my parents for their anniversary. One time I contacted this service that decorates lawns and they came at night to my parent's house and decorated the entire--and I mean ENTIRE--lawn full of big, plastic hearts and big signs that said Happy Anniversary. When my parents woke up they were so surprised to look out and see that! I've never been as proud of anything as I was of that. And one year my parents paid for all of me and my siblings and their husbands, kids, etc. to stay at Mt. Washington Hotel for a week to celebrate their anniversary. Such great memories.

Enough self pity. Back to reality, right? I'm going to get in a kick-ass workout tonight and do some homework. I really want to hang out with Jim but I need some "me time". Which is confusing me because all I want is to see him tonight but at the same time I don't. Ugh.

Ok, BBL, my loves.

ETA: I hope Shellers is ok. Where are you, Shell Bell?!?!?!?
 
Hey Allie - just popping by... I hope you don't take offense to this, but that was awfully unfair of your dad to ask you to do that. You guys have your own serious issues to deal with and manage through this whole ordeal without him dragging you directly into the middle of a situation that is between the 2 of them. I mean, I know it affects you ALL, but I don't know... I hope I'm not overstepping. Just really offering you ((((HUGS)))) and support - and saying I'm sorry. :( It's not self pity. It's a reality unfortunately that you have to work through. Divorce sucks. :(
 
Hi Breckie-
Thanks for your response. I really appreciate it (and it's a relief to know you're in agreement with me...). What an awkward situation this is to be in. I'm so tired of it, to be honest. I'm just really, really tired of it.

It's sounds like a total cliche and typical "child of divorce" of me to say this, but I really don't want to get married anymore. I used to only dream of the day when I got married and could settle down, but not anymore. I mean, if my parents can't make it after THIRTY FIVE YEARS together, what the hell hope is there for me? It's just too risky. And I don't want to have kids anymore either. It's just way too easy to "f" them up....
 
You know Allie, I can completely understand your position. It's not cliche and typical. It's honest. But right now, try not to make unilateral calls against your future based on someone else's past. That sounds awfully parental of me, and I don't mean it to. But I was there, too. I am a child of divorce as well. I was in my mid teens when it happened, so it's not exactly the same. (Are they ever the same, though really?) But I didn't ever want to get married either.

And I made that very clear. To everyone.

Then DH walked into my life. Man. That changed everything. Not saying everyone has to get married or even want to - it's just what happened to me. (Still no kids by choice though - for a litany of reasons) And you know, you may NEVER want to get married or have kids. And all of that is okay - and your call. YOUR call. But as hard as this is, try not to make THEIR mistakes yours. Because they're not. Not even a little shred of a bit. You own NONE of it. You're just caught in the middle of it.

Just move through your life, taking small steps where you can, and larger ones where you can. Breathe, cry, hurt, love, celebrate, etc and try your best to move through the anger and the "this is not fair"ness (and it just isn't fair. PERIOD). It just takes time. It's not fun, and it's not easy. I hurt for you, because I remember all too well how it feels.

I'm not trying to be too philisophical here, honestly. Just trying to share a little bit of your pain and hoping to paint another perspective. Hope once again that I'm not overstepping. (((((HUGS))))))

Yay! I solved the Avatar puzzle. Don't ask me how. I'll never be able to duplicate it.

Sorry again, for the lack of personals. I just got home, fiddled with the avatar and now I have to take off to a blood mobile. We are going to see a ball game after that. No time for workouts :( or chatting:(:(. Miss you all!
 
Whew. What a day. I did S&H Chest & Back, then the step combos plus the abs from BM2. Then I cleaned up Isaac's room and took apart the bunkbed so that now it's 2 beds on the floor (it's designed to do either way). That was no small feat to do alone, so I feel very proud. I also got Isaac's mattress on and dressed, but have to wait for Ewan to awake from his nap to put his on (he's been sleeping on the twin mattress on the floor of his little room). Now we can either keep the little room for a future baby (though no plans for one of those, but not ruled out either) or turn it into a tiny little guest room.

OK, I know I haven't done personals (and I see I'm not the only one today) but now I really need to shower. Hope to bbl.
 
Hi Robinellers--nice work with the avatar! I got mine to work somehow too. I followed the instructions that SNM posted in the OD and somehow my non-techy brain got it to work. Don't ask me how. Have fun at the ball game!

Breckie--I really, really appreciate your words of wisdom and advice. You are very well-spoken/written and every word was just exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks for taking the time to write all that---I appreciate it more than you know!
 
Hi, all,
No time for personals, and I feel very bad about that! To me, something about this format makes it less conducive to personals. I'm not very good with change, I guess. And I'm super frustrated b/c I haven't been able to get to my UserCP all day -- I get an error message -- so no avatar for me right now. I posted in the support forum, but no response yet.

I've been running around all day, so I'm just about to do my workout.

{{{HUGS}}} to you all, and, again, I'm sorry about no personals.
 
Hello Melters.
Just love the new site and love the fact I have an "avatar" now.
Back to work after vacations are NOT fun.
I missed Seville and Madrid.
Have a Great Night.
 
Hey ladies,

So how did you all get your avatars to now work? I haven't had a chance to check the OD; did they post something there? ETA: Oh, looks like Allie said that they did.

Our little group seems so quiet since the new forums went up. It's making me sad.:(

Allie -- {{{HUGS}}} to you sweetie! I'm sorry that things are so messed up right now with your family. Please know that we're here for you -- and don't leave us, even though you don't like the new forum. We'll get used to it soon!

Breckie -- It's so nice to see you in your avatar!!! You are so beautiful, and you and your DH are adorable!!

Kristi -- I also feel like it's harder to do personals in this format. Did you get to run any fun errands?

Lainie -- WTG on your workout!!

Tneah -- Your new avatar is very sexay, but I miss seeing gorgeous you! I'm getting too old, too; I don't like change either!

Shelley -- Please let us know that you're alright, even if you don't feel like chatting. We're worried!

Robin -- You look so beautiful in your new avatar, and check out those sexay shoulders of yours! You look gorgeous!!

I'm making some flax pasta while typing this, so I keep having to pop up and leave. I had fun with my friend today, but did too much shoe shopping. I wasn't nearly as naughty as she was, but still . . . .

I bought these tennies that I'm not sure if I'll keep:

I also bought a pair similar to these, but a different brand that I can't find a photo of; they were a lot less moola, too. I think these ones are definitely going back -- they're a little too sexay and wild for me, but the gal at Nordie's said that fringe will be all the rage in the fall. Mike said they look like Xena Warrior Princess shoes. Nuff said:

Gotta go check on dinner -- I'll try to BBL. I miss all you gals! Love to all!

UG -- I can't get the actual photos to post like how we'd been doing it by using Properties. Double UGH!

Hi kittens -

I think everyone is not liking the new forums. I think it will take us a while to get used to them.

Leanne - how did you like the Dove's workouts? I am very curious.

Breckie - You ARE so pretty. The post to Allie about her parents was amazing. I know my daughter is squared away, but my two sons are not. I tell my DH the reason they cannot get over the divorce is because their dad won't get over it. He still talks about me all the time and we have been divorced since 1995. I am very bitter about what he did to those kids. I don't know if my older son will ever have any respect for women. Okay, enough.

Allie - I hope you feel better. I ate so crappy this weekend too. My eyes are all puffy from all the crap and I am tired, etc., etc. It's so much better for body and mind to eat healthy.

Robin - Great avatar. Another pretty melty maiden.

Tneah- Hey, what's up. Your avatar is way cool. I like it.


Hi Kristi, Lainie, Kara, Shannon and Shelley.

BBL to chat. I am going over to the workout and nutrition thing to see if it will work tonight.
 
Hey guys,
I know, we seem alot tamer and alot quieter now, I don't even want to go check out the OD like I usually do after reading our melty thread.

I am using this stupid avatar for now cause the one I wanted to use (a pic of Georgie and I) is flipped upside down, and even though I "fixed" it in my photo editor, it keeps posting flipped upside down on this forum, another:(

Leanne! OMG! I love your Ed Hardy shoes chica, I own several hats, and a few tshirts by him, I was looking at those shoes at a store in Vegas, and I adore your "Zena" shoes! Please do not take them back, you will look so hot in those, and the gal is right, fringe is everywhere, oh every gal needs a pair of totally impractical shoes like that!:D

BG, you are beautiful chica! Your DH is very handsome too!

Jennifer, nice to see you finally! You are a pretty woman too.

All you other pretty ladies are smokin' hot too, wow what a group of hotties we got going on here.:D Ok, that was my last allowed smiley.

Gotta go do my Slim Series *yawns*...I cleaned the boat (again) did more laundry, and got groceries, walked Georgie twice and fed him, and I am tired now, still need to answer emails from work too. Oh dear, no wonder I drink.:p
 
Hey ladies!

OK, so I'm still really sad about how quiet we all are. Nobody seems to feel like posting much, and it's making me blue. I miss our old forums and Figgyville . . . . :(

Oh, I was so naughty today, too. I did the grocery shopping at Trader Joe's . . . and some pita chips somehow found their way into my cart! I'm not even PMS'ing, but I know that I will have to bust those bad boys open tonight and indulge a bit. MUST.BE.GOOD. Or not! ;-)

Tneah -- You're such a cutie! I really am tempted to keep those smokin' shoes, but DH's "Xena" comment threw me off. Now I'm thinking that they might not be quite so sexay. I'll have to try them on again and strut around a bit. :p Ooh, ooh! You should get a pair of the Ed Hardy shoes, too, and then we could be Shoe Twins! Wouldn't that be fun?? I think I will end up keeping those, but maybe not the other pair. Oh, so sorry you can't get the avatar with you and Georgie to work! Maybe Lainie or Emily/Evily (our tech gurus) can help you out if you PM them. More boat cleaning??! I think you really do need to find someone to help with it! I also say to let those work emails wait until the morning! Go have a nice glass of wine and enjoy the boat!

Peggie -- Well, I do really like the Dove's workouts . . . unless, of course, you want me to say that I don't like them. ;) They're really fun b/c she constantly changes things up on you, and she uses very little weight. Sorry that your ExH was such an arse. I'm so glad that you found the man who was meant to be!

Breckie -- Forgot to say earlier that I also loved reading your comments to Allie today! You're so right about how things happen in our lives for a reason. I always feel like things are meant to be . . . or maybe I just try to make the most of things!

Hey Leanne - The same thing happened to me with frickin' Cheez-Its. I wasn't even hungry or anything and I never eat that crap, usually. Obviously I am having a stressful day.

I am glad you like the Dove workouts. I thought they looked really good. I got my first Tony One on One today, and just watched a few minutes of it. I think I will like them. I also got that other chick kettlebell workout, Lauren something. Watched just a few minutes of that too. I am supposed to do kpc tomorrow, but I think I will do the kettlebell one. I will let you know how it goes.

Well need to go do dishes. Talk to you kittens tomorrow. Love ya guys.
