Hey hey Haters, hello!

My kitty is INSANE!! He's been bouncing off the walls ever since I brought him home from the vet yesterday http://bestsmileys.com/cats2/9.gif
I think his behavior is a side effect of the anesthesia. He's been knocking things off of the counter top and tables, walking across the STOVE TOP with a pot of water set to boil :eek: , and just generally running around like a nut. He's a little better this morning but still not back to normal. Frankly I'm getting tired of having to watch him like a hawk, and I'm just about ready to isolate him in a room with the door closed for his protection and my sanity :p

I did Sculpt 1-2 last night and cardio is on the rotation for today. I'm going to team up with my old friend Eli for todays sweatfest. Is anybody working out besides me and the bunny (Jen)? LMAO!! Just for the record, yesterday marked the start of week 3 of my P90 rotation and I haven't missed a single workout http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/queen.gif

I got my shipping notice for Cathe's 4-Day Split last night and I should have it by tomorrow :D . Dana, have you heard anything yet? Did anybody else order it?

Diane - Ohhhhhhh, Ella is so precious I just want to give her a big smooch! Congratulations on her first check up. I have no doubt that she is thriving. I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better, too. I'm sure the walks will be perfect for easing your way back into workouts. I hope your company doesn't overstay their welcome. I'm sure you're anxious to establish a routine which is hard to do when you're bombarded with company. That would drive me crazy. I hope people are chipping in to help you!

Jennifer - It sounds like you have a bona fide mouse infestation. When we had a problem we figured out that they were coming in from around the outdoor water faucet. We sealed up the exterior cracks when we had our house painted and we haven't seen another mouse since then. Maybe you need to have someone come out and seal up your house nice and tight.

So has Nick been posting on the forums? Have you had a date yet?

Dana, Jen, August, Robin, Terri, and all - What are you up to? Robin, you're at a meeting, I think. I'll BBL to see if anyone is around. It's a dark and dreary, rainy day -- a perfect day for watching a movie. I'm going to rent Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban (I just finished the book), and see if I can get Johnny boy to CALM DOWN ;(

See ya:*

ETA I forgot to tell you guys a funny story. Last Sunday DH and I cooked dinner for his parents. We had to do a little grocery shopping (always an adventure with DH :p ) and I found him in the bakery stuffing a huge blueberry muffin into a bag. I mean this muffin was as big as his head :eek: . So I point out to him that the better choice would be the smaller, whole grain blueberry muffins on the shelf right below where the giant, fluffy muffins were. He immediately grabbed the healthier muffin and put it in the same bag with the moist, giant orb. When I suggested that he get the whole grain muffin INSTEAD of the white flour, white sugar artery clogging gooey one, he just stared at me with a look of complete and utter confusion -- like I had asked him to lay down in front of a train or something. Anyway, he bought BOTH muffins because he felt he couldn't put the one back after he "touched" it . What's a wife to do!? ;(
 
Hello!

I'm posting super late because I started this MONSTROUS post telling you all about a torturous dinner I had last night, but midway, I deemed it too boring to post. Then as I was getting ready to post this, I got a call with some emergency work, so I ended up doing that all day.

Remember a bjillion months ago when Jen was always talking about her Mexican food and I said that I felt inspired to eat Mexican food and bought a bunch of fixings, and that's when Ched came and went from my life (a few times LOL) and I never ended up using the fixings? Well, I used them tonight and Mom and I had TVP burritos! They were really good. Probably because all I really did to prepare them was open cans and wash lettuce LMAO.

Anyway, here is the post I wrote this morning :

So you know, I found a fantastic snack for the squirrels and they all seem to love it - freeze-dried 100% horsemeat yum yum yum!! It's super nutritious and good with no added weirdness (aside from it being horse meat, baha), and they absolutely love it! And you know how I research http://planetsmilies.net/happy-smiley-661.gif . I've been looking around for such a nutritious snack as this. I also got freeze-dried chicken, and they seem to love that, too.

So why am I telling you this story?

Because this is the conversation I had with my mom last night.

Me : I finally found a great snack for the kitties that they love! It's 100% freeze-dried horsemeat. I also got another really nutritious snack that is 100% freeze-dried chicken. It got really great ratings on lots of internet sites and it will be a really good treat for them.

Mom : They like to snack on popcorn.

Me : .................................. http://planetsmilies.net/happy-smiley-636.gif


Anywaaaaay, I don't know if it's due to the weather or my being gone for the whole weekend, but Cham and Mooch both slept the whole night on the bed with me. Cham in her new favorite spot in between my legs, and Mooch in his ever- favorite spot, with his head on the pillow next to mine LOL!

In other words, I'm completely boxed in. Boxed in loveliness!

Oh, hey, I picked up my comforter today and was charged about $90. How much does it cost to dry clean a comforter in the States? Or do I want to know?

Wait. Don't tell me.

Okay, on that note, I'm pooped and am in bed with my hopefully clean comforter and I've got Frasier all cued up. Apologies for my scattered post.



MICHELE -

>I knew at that moment that DH was up to something so I decided to draw it out of him by making a fuss and refusing to go

LMAO, you NUT!!

I love your DH. How romantic and what a sweetie he is!! You guys are such a cute couple.

>I'm happy to report that I am looking slimmer

That's fabulous!!! http://planetsmilies.net/happy-smiley-8815.gif You must feel great! And you should - you've been working your butt off!

>Just for the record, yesterday marked the start of week 3 of my P90 rotation and I haven't missed a single workout

That is truly awesome. What do you suppose is the secret for you to stay on this particular rotation?

That's so sweet of you guys to make your ILs such a nice dinner. I'm sure they must have loved having it, and having you both there for the evening.

Poor Johnny and his teeth cleaning! Who likes going to the dentist, right? But to have to be stuffed in a bag to go, that would really be yucky! LOL. Urgh, and come to think of it, Johnny has to have anesthetic every six months? That's really horrible. That must make him feel awful, poor guy.

Yes, thanks, I did sleep well. Well, until Mooch brought his feather toy to me and "ru ru"d. He's such a cutie pie, how can I resist feather teasing him in bed? (Clear your dirty minds, Haters!)

JENNIFER - Hiya, glad to hear that you and Nick are back in contact. He used to be a PT?

Urgh, how awful to have to deal with chronic bronchitis. That must totally suck. Dealing with allergies is sucky enough.

Your kitties sure are lucky to have so much space for adventure. Every kitty should be so lucky! My and my Mom's guys really only have my and my Mom's tiny apartments for adventures, so I allow them to spy out any space they desire, be it in any cupboard or closet.

TERRI - Hey, you! It's nice to see your post! How you doing?

DANA - I can't bring myself to try out the shampoo on the squirrels. I just don't want them to get angry at me LOL. I don't know what to do with all the shampoo I bought. LMAO about your glasses!

Oh gawd, the spa sounds so great. Relaxing in a warm cocoon while getting a scalp massage sounds totally fantastic, even if no chocolate is involved.

Oh gawd again, Dana, pumpkin pie. There's not much better than good pumpkin pie. Except for maybe a glazed pumpkin spice donut, but that might just be in my imagination LOL. Unless, hey, can one glaze a pumpkin pie?

JEN - Hey you, how you feeling? That's nice that you were able to get a nice, peaceful weekend of relaxation. I'm sure that kicked whatever was making you feel bad. Aside from the weekend, I notice you haven't been around as much as usual........been....busy? Nudge nudge.

DIANE - Wow, Ella has noticeably changed in only two weeks! And wow, it's already been two weeks? I can imagine you're ready for some one on one time after all those visitors.


Okay. Later! :D
 
Augie!!! It's so nice to see you, you nut. I'm sure the squirrels are happy to have their mommy back. Trust me, you could NEVER be boring. I just don't think that's possible for you http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/clown.gif

>Because this is the conversation I had with my mom last night.

Me : I finally found a great snack for the kitties that they love! It's 100% freeze-dried horsemeat. I also got another really nutritious snack that is 100% freeze-dried chicken. It got really great ratings on lots of internet sites and it will be a really good treat for them.

OMG -- ROTFLMAO!!! ROTFLMAO!!! ROTFLMAO!!!

I have since edited my original post to tell a little story about my DH. He's nothing if he's not entertaining. Maybe the two of you could go on a tour :p LMAO!!!
 
Michele, I ADORE your DH. He is just too cute.

And I'm not saying that in hopes to get some of that goopy muffin.

I finished an episode of Frasier and I feel hungry. x(

Today Yoyo and Lulu were over at my place, and I took out a new feather toy and Mooch went berserk hissing and growling at everybody.....and I think that altered his mood for the night! It's totally weird! He's all being bossy and Cham will have nothing to do with it.

Okay. So what to do about my hunger. Hmm. (Am not thinking about leftoever Mexican in fridge.)






:eek:
 
Johnny has FINALLY calmed down. I've been doing laundry and I took a huge mound of socks out of the dryer and put them on the couch. I left them there for a few minutes while I put another load in the dryer, only to come back and find Johnny nestled down in the center of the warm sock bed -- LMAO!! I had to get him a blankie to entice him away from my socks :7

>I took out a new feather toy and Mooch went berserk hissing and growling at everybody.....and I think that altered his mood for the night! It's totally weird! He's all being bossy and Cham will have nothing to do with it.

LMAO!!

Augie, did you raid the fridge? What was this Mexican feast you prepared?

I'm about to do my workout, then I'm going to the video store and rent that movie. August, I know you said you don't do a lot of reading, but I really think you would like Harry Potter. The series is just plain fun and as soon as I finish one book, I immediately want to start in on the next one. There are seven books in all and so far, each one is better than the one before it. They're so creative and highly entertaining, and as you progress in the series, they become darker and more menacing. Anyway, they're loads of fun.

Okey dokey, I'll see y'all later.
 
Hi Michele, August & all other haters!

Michele, I didn't get my shipping confirmation. :( I even went back and checked my e-mail after reading your post to see if maybe they sent it to me. Nope! Your DH sounds like quite the character with the muffin story. So did he eat both of them? He's too funny. I'm so proud of you with the way you've been consistent with your working out. You are doing great!!!

I'm guilty of not getting my workouts in. I really need to get back on track. I need more time in my day. If I lost a pound for every time I said that I need to work out in the morning, I'd be at my target weight!!!! So I'm saying it one more time . . . I wish I could get up at 4:00 to get in my workouts. I'd be set then. Jen, you should call me at 4:00 am and tell me to get my arse outta bed, I mean, you're up at that time anyway!!!

I didn't take a walk today. I'm up to my armpits here in work so I just ate my WW meal and am typing this and then back to work.


Aug - maybe your mom wasn't really listening to you yesterday? How does one get pop corn out of that? Oh well!!!!!

Diane - Ella is such a cutie! I can't believe how many visitors you still have. Are you getting any rest? It is OK to tell people that you are tired.

I haven't seen Shelley or Robin around lately. Hey you two! Hi to everyone else.

Have a great night everyone!!!
 
Dana!!!!!

SNM posted something about shipping notifications yesterday. Here...let me see if I can find it...just a sec...here's an excerpt from SNM's post :)

>UPS will send you a shipping notification in the evening after your order has shipped. This notification will come from “Quantum View”. Due to typos, junk mail filters, spam filters and email gremlins email notification will not always work. As a secondary option you can also try our Cathe Easy track and use the phone number you listed on your order (please enter only numbers – no dashes). Easy Track is located at: http://www.cathe.com/UPS_Tracking_Page.htm

When did you order? I ordered on the first day of the presale :D

I finished my workout -- I'm about to hop in the shower and go rent that movie. My time on the forums will be limited the rest of this week. I have damily coming in honor of my MIL's 80th birthday. They're staying with my IL's but I'll be doing most of the hostessing (i.e. cooking most of the meals) while they're here. I'm making lasagna from scratch to have the evening they get in, and we're going out at least one night. I still have to come up with something for 2 more nights. It will be something easy :p ;)

Alrighty, I'll see you later:*
 
Michele I tried that link and nothing!!! I didn't order on the first day, I don't even remember when I ordered it.

Have fun with your damily. The lasagna sounds wonderful!

Where is everyone today?
 
Quick hello before I work out, I will BBL for personals!!

I am not feeling great- my throat hurts again. The weather here has been crazy again- I had my heat on for a couple days then it was 80 again on Sunday and mid to high 70s all this week- lots of people in the office sick. I am going to workout but do something light, maybe Firm It Up and B&G floor work.

I did a 30 min cardio, 30 min floor thigh/butt work, and BM2 Upper body last night. Didn't have time to post as I didn't get done working out until 6:40 & had to be ready at 7 b/c Chad was picking me up then to go get Sushi! :eek: Luckily I don't wear makeup and can be ready in no time flat when I've already washed my hair that day & just need to shower! Plus he is used to seeing me post workout hair, LOL!

Okay off to workout, I'll BBL! :)
 
Hello Haters.
Today, I got my shipping notification as expected. From Cathe's updates, they are pushing them through.

Good news-no mice tonight. Great idea as far as trying to find the area where they're coming in at, I think the front door. But, the boys are loving it.

Nick-yes, he used to be PT but now in construction (which is not good at all).

Thinking I should workout before Dancing With the Stars comes back on. I went visit Apollo's site and Julia was all over it so no matter what you hear on ET, they're an item.

Have a Great Night.
 
August- How in the heck did your mom get that out of what you told her, LMAO!!! Your kitties are just too cute. I went to bed last night with Sport in bed with me and when I woke up Storm was next to me, she doesn't like me to think she enjoys being around me! Chad has nicknamed Sport the baby and Storm fatty! He really likes them and Storm likes him better than me, the brat!

Michele- Your DH is too funny & the sweetest guy in the world! You are bad! }( I probably would've done the same thing though and been a complete brat into they finally confess- men just don't get it that we are always one step ahead, do they?? GREAT JOB on all your workouts! You are doing awesome and I really like the P90 series and Tony is such a hoot and always makes me crack up at him!

Diana- Ella is PERFECT! I am like Dana, I think I would've kicked people out days ago, I need my space! That being said after my surgery I told my mom she could stay with me one night and 4 nights later I was so sad to see her leave, it was hard to do anything on my own but she had to go back to work so... keep the pictures coming, she is adorable! :)

Dana- You won't believe it, I actually slept the WHOLE night last night and had the hardest time getting out of bed this morning. Chad gave me a nice relaxing back rub last night and had a glass of red wine, I told him I'm going to start expecting it nightly now so I can sleep!

Jennifer- Glad to hear the mice aren't around tonight. I received my shipping e-mail confirmation today also, I can't wait to do the kickboxing and bootcamp one! I read on the OD that bootcamp is similiar to Drill Max w/ rest recovery- I can't wait!!!! }(

Okay, well have a good evening all, I'll BB tomorrow!
