::: CHEETAHS ::: toast 'em tuesday

Wow! I just found that I have a 4 day weekend! Because we did such a good job at the conference, the CEO of the company is leaving it up to the discretion of our bosses to give us Friday off - no vacation time needed. We already have Monday off. How cool is that? There are some negatives to this job, but I have to say, the perks really out weigh them. CNN also just named us one of the top 5 companies to watch. The CEO often plans parties, etc during company time with the rest of the afternoon off because we work hard and deserve play time. Gotta like it!

Carole – I’m so glad you posted how John is doing! He remains in my prayers. I cannot imagine how difficult this all is for him and his family. I’m glad you are a close family and there is a lot of outside support. Good news about the counseling. Jimmy ate this afternoon for the first time, so we’re progressing. I was happy to see him eat. YEAH! On the DOMS! How was the workout?

Lorie – I know what you mean about your babies being your kids! They bring so much to our lives. Great job on iTread Circus and getting in the 5 miles.

Jackie – I swear, I get sore when I least expect it and do not when I do. It’s weird! Good job on getting the 4.5 miles in when you were sore!

Shelly – We missed you yesterday! Glad you could join us today. I am SOOO sorry for you about the house – that must have been heart breaking!! Maybe the contract will fall through. :p Also sorry about all the stress. Are you planning on getting back into nursing in PA? I could ask my aunt who nursed in PA which hospitals you should try. I have been watching Jimmy closely, but because he hasn’t eaten anything he hasn’t eliminated anything, although DH said he did yesterday. I would like to know so I can make sure there is nothing more of it around that he can reach! Good idea on the marathon training, even though it’s too bad.

Kristi – as you start running outside more, Chelsea can, too – she should be acclimated just like you are, but I’m sure you know that. How is she doing otherwise? Has she settled into the dog you knew she would be? Glad your roads cleared up! How old is Sadie? Do she try to avoid being touched on her back end? Have the vet check for hip dysplasia – that could be the cause. She may still walk fine, but it may hurt to jump up. I hope she’s fine, though.

Dallas – I was wondering about that PH abs on the BOSU – when Cathe put her legs up! :p Our Cathy must be wonder woman! Prayers for your DD’s say return! I would be a wreck as well! Fortunately Chicagoans know how to drive in the white stuff. I agree with Slo Mo – by the third set I’m about ready to climb the walls! 2 lets me enjoy them well and really get into the proper technique. Hope your DS’s hand is okay! Too funny about your youngest DS! I’m no help with the protein powder – I use Trader Joe’s soy when I use it – mainly I prefer real food to shakes.

Wendy – I’m glad you’re feeling better! YAY! Workouts do really make a difference, don’t they? Don’t you wonder how the people who don’t exercise function through their days? I had trouble with my half training and P90X – but that was my first half. You’re pretty tough – if you think you can do it – go for it.

Off to pretend to work so I deserve my day off. :+
 
Hi friends!

Very quick hello!! I'll try to post personals when I get home later tonight. I'm off work early this afternoon to get DS to the Orthodontist - to discuss his progress...let's hope, then to the grocery store and home to mess with being on hold with AppleCare to sort out issues with DD's MacBook....whew...WHEN I'm done with all that I'll read up a bit and post to my Cheetah Friends that I miss dearly these days...

OMG - I must say though, I hope JIMMY IS OK!!!! Poor baby...I'm glad to hear he's eating and let's hope you see...well, um "some movement" and you'll know what all the blockage was all about... Glad you took him in!!

Ok, all for now...gotta go

Hey Cheetahs!:)

Guess where I am? At work...you guess right! LOL LIke it was that hard to guess where I was! hehe Im o.k now that I am here and its been a busy night so thats o.k...for now!;)
I managed to squeeze in a 5 mile run and 4DSBC. I just wasn't into the run today. I thought about doing a long one tomorrow but I don't think I wanna. Im in the mood to do some stepping. But which one??? Hmmm??? The possibilites are endless!

I had quit the busy day as well. Between baby group, getting lunch,going to work, comming home, making supper and returning to work, there was very little downtime. Kind of how I like my days b/c I tend to eat a little less:) I should say, there is less time for picking at things I shouldn't be eating anyway.

Sunny** I kind of think boys may be a little easier when it comes to the whole "im in love" bit! hehe I hope they aren't to hard on ya!

Wendy** SOunds like you had a good workout! Glad to hear you are feeling better. This was the first time I gave myself DOMS before bed and Im not so sure I will do it again!;)

Christine** Glad to hear you have a 4 day weekend! Woo Hoo! Im suppose to have a normal weekend off and it looks as if the shifts are covered but I am pretty certain that someone will be calling me! Not working though.Ive done my share. Glad to hear Jimmy is doing better!

Lorie** Good job on the workout! So you are back to running again? Must feel nice! And when you aren't allowed to do something thats when you want to do it even more!

Carole** Im not sure if I have ever did B&G in its entirity. I think I have done the standing work and thats it. Im not sure why though...anyway, glad to hear you are feeling the effects of it!

Jackie** Sounds like you had a good workout! Good job!

Shelley** Sorry to hear about the contract bit! Im sure something nicer will come up!LOL You sound like you have been super busy. Good job with getting those workouts in!

Kristi** I keep telling DD to enjoy being a child but children are always in a hurry to grow up. I know, I was one once! hehe I use to take my dog running all the time but his hips act up when he goes now so I have to go it alone. Well, no dog, still have the baby though.

Dallas** How old is your DD? DD is only 11 but she thinks that she is 16...big problem. She is o.k when she hangs out with her friends here but when she hangs out with her cousin and her friend she thinks that she is 14. Again today she was trying to get out to her friends house. Its just not happening. The girl she wants to hang out with is a good kid but for some reason when DD comes back she is sooo untouchable, if that makes sense. She is just TOOOO cool! She even changes the way she talks, very weird. Its like she changes her ways for each person she hangs out with. Im not sure if she doesn't know who she is yet or she changes herself so that people will like her? I dunno! Just hoping that there isn't this much drama with DS!

Thomasina** Hope you are driving safely! Sounds like another busy mamma! Now does your kid have to go to the Orthodontist or your dog...cause I don't know with you crazy pet lovers whats what! LOL

Have a good night everyone! I have one more aircraft and then I am hoping to sit my butt down.

Lori:)
