<---sorry to hear about ivory's cold
<---also sorry about Melissa's kid's runny noses and cancelled trip
<---hopes Melissa gets to snowshoe later this winter
<---has snowshoes, but rarely has enough snow to use them
<---usually uses them when snow is too deep for comfortable skiing, then skies in snowshoe trail
<---is glad it's a slow day at work and no bosses are around on Sunday
<---is knitting and listening to Steeler football game
<---Steelers should win, cause <---remembered to wear Steeler underwear today
<---forgot to wear them last Monday, hence the loss to Colts
<---is sure loss to Colts had nothing to do with Colts being a better team
<---thinks Kali is absent today, because she's watching the game
 
<---got bored so did segments 1 and 2 of Core Max
<---hamstrings were S-O-R-E during those hip lifts
<---sending endless energy vibes to everyone doing today's marathon
<---thanks Amy for decor compliments
<---tells Amy to see Jes' decor as well
<---wonders if Wendy has put up pics of decor?
<---tells Melissa her day is definitely going to be better
<---is taking the kiddo to a picnic at the botanical park today:)
<---hopes Melissa's babies feel better soon
<---hopes Kali shows up sometime today
<---still needs to figure out this month's rotation
<---is thinking of breaking away from Cathe's strength training workouts and making own circuit-style three day split
<---will figure it out tonight

Pinky
 
<---just looking to see what everyone is up to today
<---is sorry about Pinky's bad dream. <---hates to wake up with memories of bad dreams;( <---hopes Pinky has a wonderful day to wipe away all thoughts of dream;)
<---hopes Melissa's kids are better soon. <---thinks she needs to reschedule her trip ASAP;)
<---is in awe of marathoners. <---Is a big sluggo;(
<---thanks Amy for the bean soaking info. <---has about 300 cookbooks and don't know why <---didn't just look it up <---self:eek:
<---always chuckles over Amy's high jinks. <---thinks Amy is pretty smart cookie and probably doesn't need to study as much as some do;)
<---wonders what Robin is knitting and hopes the remainder of her day is calm

Michele
 
<--- is almost crying since Michele was so nice
<--- says thanks Michele! wait until you see the grades!
<--- will share the story of the last exam, then- <---'s sister works on same campus as law school, and works with one of <---'s classmates. <---'s sister walked into a meeting Friday morning (after Thursday night's exam where <--- finished an hour early) and the classmate was telling everyone about <---'s finishing early! embarrassment!!!! <---'s sister said all asked her if <--- was doing okay, since they could not understand how <--- could have finished a 3 hour exam in 2 hours and still end up okay
<--- will get exam grades late in January, so it won't matter by then!
<--- did push/pull just now, going to take <--- out for breakfast and study there- FAR AWAY from the computer!!!
<--- wonders if anyone realized that was my strategy this weekend }(
<--- really should eat something since it's 11am and haven't had breakfast yet!!
<--- says again thanks for all the support everyone!!
<--- will search out jes' photos soon
<--- oh tells Michele it was in How to Cook Everything by Mark Bettman, big yellow cookbook
 
<---has same cookbook Amy has
<---should use it more often, since it has lots of yummy sounding recipes
<---thinks everyone here will be looking forward to hearing Amy's grades in January
<---is knitting a sweater for a friend as a graduation gift
<---friend graduated from college almost 2 years ago!
<---friend is now in Thailand, teaching English, and doesn't need a sweater
<---friend will need a sweater when she comes home after 2 years of tropical heat
<---hopefully will have friends sweater done by March/April
<---wanted to tell Melissa that <---drives over Bald Eagle Mountain, but it really isn't much of a mountain
 
<---is about to flap on home
<---hopes everyone has a nice evening and enjoys their soup
<---will see everyone tomarrow
<---hopes all the marathoners have enough energy to post tomarrow
<---night all
 
<--- LOL over Robin's knitting project
<--- sees yet again why <--- doesn't knit
<--- loves that the most crafty thing <--- does any more is COOK
<--- insists that cooking is the most wonderful hobby- you can eat your projects and you have to do them quickly before the food spoils
<--- is confused about FRE
<--- wants to quit <---'s job since it's such a hostile environment
<--- is pretty PO'd over the job- it was supposed to be a learning law clerk job, which is why <--- accepted less money
<--- is still too chicken to quit :(
<--- really should be thinking about FRE, not the job, today!
<--- ate some breakfast at 11:45 and is much happier
<--- is on to discovering how much caffeine <--- can really consume!
<--- tells all you lucky non-law-students that FRE is Federal Rules of Evidence.x(
<--- is of to search for Nancy, since <--- hasn't seen her today or yesterday.
<--- wonders whose turn it is for a MAKEOVER this weekend???
 
<---thanks all for good thoughts for kids
<---'s kids seem to have made brilliant recoveries when cutting Christmas tree project was proposed
<---cut down a Christmas tree with the family NOT in the rain for the first time in 3 years
<---is busy supervising Maddie (6) and Lily (5) getting out glass ornaments
<---has a rescheduled snowshoe trip either with same age female snow climbing partner or 24 year old male rock climbing partner.
<---loves a challenge so may pick the guy
<---went indoor gym rock climbing with partner and he coached her for 2 hours resulting in <---climbing about 300% better
<---is grateful DH doesn't mind male climbing partners who are much younger!
<---signs off to get that tree going
<---wishes everyone a happy, safe, wonderful day
<----is doing Body Max at 3

Debbie
 
<--- is in full on procrastination mode! x(
<--- just ordered more vitamins from www.luckyvitamin.com.
<--- thinks <--- saved a lot by ordering online- shipping was $4.95 for everything
<--- is not about to tell DH, he'll think <--- is off her rocker
<---'s DH prefers to get vitamins from food- but thinks that means the juice boxes from costco that list vitamins in the drink for kids is sufficient :eek:
<--- doesn't care, ordered the vitamins anyway
<--- ate breakfast an hour ago and is ready for lunch!
<--- is off to scrounge for food and read some evidence books
<--- is going to shut down the computer now- HAVE FUN all you decorators!!!!! :D
 
<--- tries to wave hello to everyone but can't lift her arms after ME
<--- hates the biceps in ME (but loves them really)
<--- really should get her butt off the 'puter and finish her chores
<--- thinks doing chores sounds like Little House on the Prairie talk
<--- still has KPC to get through today
<--- is off to eat something to gain strength for kickboxing
<--- isn't sure how she's going to punch with noodle arms
<--- loves her SO to pieces (this week);)
 
<--- is still at the computer, stressing out while procrastinating
<--- wonders what happened to her plan to put the computer away??
<--- has NO INTEREST whatsoever in the Tracie Long workouts
<--- looked at them yesterday and thought they were the Firm all over again
<--- used to really love Jen Carmen
<--- now only has one fitness star on <---'s TV!!!
<--- wants you all to know all the other fitness stars are on the FORUM!!! ;)
<--- is trying to figure out if <--- should borrow money to live on, quit the job, get certified ACSM and train while going to school
<--- would really love some feedback on that last idea from all of you!
<--- would aim to get a job with www.timeoutservices.com, and knows the job is kind of waiting for <--- since <--- has some connections over there.
 
<---just got back from shopping
<---is about half-way done with the xmas list
<---hung her first xmas decorations on dining room chandelier
<---has tried, in the last 3 days: steel cut oats (the texture was nice, but they kind of tasted like cardboard); sweet potatoes (yum!) and vanilla soy milk (double yum!) Thanks for the tips!:9
<---wonders how to cook steel cut oats so they taste better
<---DH gagged at the price of the steel cut oats:eek:
<---has to do laundryMax, vacuumMax and clean the bathroomsMaxx(

Tammy
 
<--- suggests Tammy add something sweet to the steel cut oats, like raisins
<--- asks Tammy how she cooked them in the first place
 
<---followed the directions on the package. It said to boil water, add oats and simmer 30 minutes.
<---thanks Amy for the suggestion to add something sweet
<---thinks next time she'll use soy milk instead of water


Tammy
 
<---pops in with a big hug and hello to everyone!
<---had a great day at work, kind of slow with sloppy weather here
<---thinks Pinky and Jes have both done beautiful jobs w/ their decorations
<---thinks <---better get the house cleaned this week and get our decorations up

<---lost a pound anyway due to not eating
