**Cheetahs**Sleepin' in on a Saturday**

ahhh, the weekend

Hey Saturday Cheetahs!

Love the weekend! Going to get in and tackle some things here in a few after I post. Yesterday wasn’t as bad at work (re: the students) as it has been. I mean it really can be disheartening the lack of respect and rudeness some of these students have towards us in Admissions and Records, and they’re not all young! Nevertheless, with all my griping this week I feel I must point out that not all of the students are horrible. We do get some very nice, intelligent, respectful, courteous students on the phone and at the window and they’re the ones that get 110% outta me! LOL….

CLARIFICATION on the pony: It is a stuffed pony that when squeezed makes a “eeehhhee, eeehhheeee, eeeehheee” neighing sound. We, as in our me and my co-workers will squeeze the pony when the tension of a busy office plus the level of the idiot meter going up hits high in our area. The sound of the horse coupled with my humming/whistling of various Frank tunes when the tension is high, helps all of us keep perspective and stay in a good, productive mood. When I said we thought a bus let off a load of rude students, I was only joking because it seemed, that day, we had an over abundance of jack azzes come in and call… lol. Oh well, all is good though at the college. I’ve worked in much worse places such as County Child Protective Services…um, not a highly positive place…lol

Wendy – Yeah, think I’m gonna Grace it today on the dreadmill. Don’t want to waste the gas driving down to Auburn today when I have no errands or appts down there. DD18 came and stole her gas saving car from me yesterday..lol…she’s on break from school. I must say, you sure are good about getting those naps! I wish I could. My sister is a total napper and then proceeds to a cappuccino when she gets up..lol. My mom says she was a napping kinda kid and was a terror if she didn’t get one in.

Judy – Hope the weather cooperates with your drive/game!

Carole – Lol – I’m happy the temps are cooler/normal now. I don’t enjoy the warmer weather for running. I LOVE the pyramids. Yay, a garage sale! Good luck with PITA…and the packing…

Dallas – DS is off from high school too next week. I have yet to get my Thanksgiving ingredients that I’m bringing as well. I guess I’ve been assigned the salad (I’m the only vegetarian..lol) so I ‘m thinking a “salad bar” idea using a lazy susan for the ingredients and then two big bowls of lettuce: one romaine, one mixed organic greens.

Shelly – HEY THERE IRON CHEETAH!! Sending FAST Cheetah vibes to ya! Hope you can break that 4:30 goal and make it 4:15! I know you can!!! Thanks for the bib number, we’ll be trackin’ ya and rootin’ for ya too! GO SHELLY!!!

Christine – I did a roasted Turkey, etc. last Sunday for the fellas. Enjoy your feast today! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! So cool ya’ll went to the first date restaurant. Sweet!

Cathy – LMAO!! LOVE the window cartoon! Gonna print and post at work! too dang funny.
hey, CONGRATULATIONS, TEACH!!!! I KNEW you were gonna pass!! That is sooooooo awesome! U aiight!

LOL –

Hey Gloria! Have fun at mom’s!

Jackie – Have a great time at BF’s. Great job with the running pace improvements. Sorry that neighbor’s dog is bugging yall again. What is wrong with the owners? Don’t they care about the dog? guess not! lol.

Brighton! - You must be way cool……Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra, Hitchcock movies…hmmm…lol. North by Northwest is one of my favs as well! Also liked Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novack in Vertigo…good shhhhtuff! Glad you are on the mend!

Well, it is just past 2pm PST, I guess I better get my selves in gear for that workout before it is time to get to the weekend cookin’…

Enjoy the rest of the day, Cheetahs!

Hi cheetahs! Posting from just outside Philadelphia. Whew... the biggest problem was getting in and out of the parking garage by the convention center. Had to inch my way in and out. Oh well, I spent enough time in Philly to take traffic snarls in stride. It was a HUGE expo but I was anxious to get back to my motel so I really didn't spend much time there. Got a very nice long sleeve tech shirt that says I kicked asphalt in Philly... cute!

Was tempted to get a shirt that says "This IS my race pace" LOL.:p
I'll be up early and hopefully wont freeze to death tomorrow... should be interesting anyway.

Dallas- Ive moved around my whole life and in plenty of cold weather states so I'm really not suffering too much. I lived in N. arizona most recently anyway and the temps here in Pa aren't really that different.

Christine- Thanks for the warm wishes and fast run vibes! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO YOU AND YOUR DH!! My oh my, a double celebration with Thanksgiving. Must be quite a gathering going on there... ENJOY!

Cathy- The sale on the UA goods really wasn't that great.... about $10.00 off but I'll take it!!! Glad to hear you were just uber busy and all is well with the heart and soul of the cheetahs! WOOOOHOOOOO, I just scrolled down your note to Christine. CONGRATULATIONS ON PASSING THE NBs!!!! I had no doubt you could do it. WTG there champ! Quite an accomplishing year for you!

Jackie- thanks for the good luck wishes! Hope your race isn't as cold as mine will be!

Wendi- Thanks for the LOUD good luck (LOL)

Posh- Just no reason for the lack of respect and rudeness that is so endemic lately!! You know how to deal with it with class tho, that's for sure. Thanks for your support!



tata y'all
 
Gloria—thank you so much! That means such a great deal coming from a highly respected colleague. Hope you had a good visit with mom.

Christine—ooh, thanks for sharing the joy & excitement! Your post brought tears to my eyes…thank you. Namaste, my friend.

Jackie—thank you! I appreciate that greatly. Now I must absolutely bow down

to you on running in below-freezing temps!!! WOW! And a killer pace, too. Sorry those four-legged running partners are still on your tail.


Dallas—aww, thank you so very much! I am really lucky to have my supportive cheetah pals behind me. The Sieber workout sounds intriguing. Is that through Beachbody? Great workout with the KM drill add-on. I’m glad your hip is cooperating.

Wendy—thanks—I have been celebrating, you betcha.

Enjoy your jewelry party.

Wendi—figured you were crazy busy. Hope all is well. Thanks sooo much! This was a real nailbiter for me, so I appreciate the vote of confidence. Hope you warmed up.

Posh—what griping? Are you kidding? Your posts are always so hysterical and upbeat! I’m glad you liked the cartoon. I agree, Vertigo is another at the top of the list, definitely. Thank you for the recognition and support. You really helped spare (what’s left of) my sanity this week! Love ya!

Opted for B&G Leg Blast Premix. That’s it for me for today.

Have a great night! Thanks again. :)
 
Shelly—snuck past me there. Cute shirt! I hear you on the UA. Rare to see it discounted at all, so that was a nice pick-up. Thanks for the good wishes.
