HATE - July 5

August

August

Cathlete
LMAO at yesterday's title! http://bestsmileys.com/exploding/1.gif

Nope, no 4th of July anything over here. But there was an explosion of humidity that my skin hungrily slurped down and loved! http://planetsmilies.net/eat-drink-smiley-5153.gif

I'm out the door now. I did some Cathe Basic Arms today and flexed real nice for the mirror.

MICHELE - How was the bday party? Did the Pirates cake go down well? Well, of course, I know the actual cake went down well, har har har! Thank you so much for letting me have a piece. :9 :*

ROBIN - How was the cookout? I hope the weather was nice enough for you to enjoy some nice fireworks!

SHELLEY - You had a holiday on Monday? And your pond is finished?! Do you love it?

>I just fill in holes with pea gravel

LOL, I see you found a good substitution for kitty litter.

JEN - Your new cat toy sounds great. That's great that they took to it so quickly. Are they scratching away?


Okay, I'm out! OUT I GO!

Oh, I have more to say about MacBook in white (it's what I have), but I'll have to go into it a bit later! Remind me if you're interested!
 
Goodmorning haters. Like Shelley, I've been reading, but not posting as much as I'd like.

Jen, once again I am blown away by your workouts. You rock! I got the video. Thanks again. I'm not sure when I'll bet a chance to preview it, much less do it, but it's on my short-list of things to do.

Michele, did you stick to your guns at the birthday party? We went into town and ate crap for dinner. Emily and I came home early, since we're working girls. The boys stayed in town for the fireworks.

I'm headed for work now. I hope to do IMAX 2 later. See you all later.
 
Morning haters!

August - yes, I figured I'd be waiting a long time for the kitty litter to arrive to I had to find something to use instead!

Robin - I'm dying to hear what crap you ate for dinner? Was it food vendor-type crap? How did Greyor like the fireworks?
 
Morning haters!

Shelley - where did you post pics of the pond?

August - morning/afternoon/evening, I can't keep track of the time difference.

Michele - your title for yesterday cracked me up! How was the cake?

Jen - I'll just repeat what everyone else said - you're wonder woman!!!

Robin - we didn't come up to see the fireworks either. Gabe wanted to but I get up too early to stay out late. There are fireworks tonight over where my parents live but I'm working tomorrow so no fireworks again. Oh well!!!

Hi Diane, Becky, Jana and anyone else I missed.

Today I"m on a mission to file, file, file. It is a $#@! icebox in here so if I move around, maybe I won't freeze. Tuesday I had on bedroom slippers and 2, yes 2, sweaters. Even my stapler felt freezing. And then there are others that think it is so hot in here. No comment.

OK, well I"m off to file, I'll check back with you all later. There is only so much filing I can do until I need a break.

Later gators!!!:p
 
Holy wow!! It's not even 8AM and there's already 3 posts in Hatertown!!:D
Now that's what I like to see:*

August - yes I ate pirate cake for you and it was positively yummy:9 . It was so moist -- I'm still dreaming about it http://bestsmileys.com/happy/3.gif

Yes, I want to hear all about the MacBook. Mind you, I'm planning to get the desktop computer -- the iMac -- because DH already has a laptop. The hospital supplies them with new laptops about every 2 years so we don't really need another one. You'll probably think this is petty but I don't want a MacBook because I hate the keyboard. It doesn't have a number pad and I MUST have that. I do all of my banking and bill paying online and I use the number pad every single day. I can't understand why they didn't put a number pad on the MacBook keyboard http://planetsmilies.net/confused-smiley-17463.gif . Aside from that, I can't wait to hear all about Mac computers http://planetsmilies.net/grinning-smiley-9519.gif

Robin - I held fast to my clean eating yesterday -- well...except for the cake:9 . My FIL was initially PO'd that I brought food but he had 2 helpings of my salad -- LMAO!! I'll post the recipe for my cauliflower salad later today. It was delicious and will be on my regular veggie rotation. I ate a chicken patty but I brought my own whole grain roll to make a sandwich;)

So, what's you eat yesterday:7 Happy IMAX 2ing

Shelley - I read about your SO in the pond in the <--- thread (I'll get over there later). So, did you strip down and join him}(

Dana - what temp do they set the thermostat? Can you sneak and turn it up a little bit? I'm sure I'd like it cold. I'm always hot ;)

>>Even my stapler felt freezing

ROTFLMAO!!

I have someone coming in a bit to clean my windows and gutters so I need to vamoose for now but I'll BBL. I didn't have time to do BAsic Step yesterday so I plan to do it today. Did I mention that I've taken about 2" off my waist in the past couple of weeks:) I'll BBL:* :* :*
 
I ate a whole funnel cake by myself. The WHOLE THING. I didn't share. Oink-oink. Emily, Greyor and I went home before the fireworks. But Greyor did like the red balloon some politian gave him.

Someone brought an oatmealy, fruity type bar thing to work. Yum. But don't worry, I just ate the crumbs, which have no calories. I'm glad there are lots of crumbs.
 
Oh pshaw, that's not awful. I thought you were going to say you'd had WAY more than that!

I like red balloons too. Except when they pop in my face. Then I don't like them at all.

Crumbs are definitely okay. Keep eating them.
 
Why on earth would anybody SHARE a funnel cake!?!?!? OMG I love funnel cake. I haven't had one in ages. Now I remember why I avoid street fairs like the plague -- lol!

Shelley, I love the pookie resting in the background of your pond picture. S/he looks so cute:* :+ Is that Mr. Prancy Pants or Sadie?

The window/gutter guy is here. He's not shirtless, but he's quite possibly toothless -- LMAO!!
 
Hello! Stopping by briefly before I head downstairs to workout. I am not sure which w/o I want to do this morning & which to do later. My goal is to do 2 workouts/day until Sunday since I am off work and really don't have much planned that has to be done it shouldn't be a problem. I did up my calories a little yesterday though to make sure I'm getting enough calories to burn! Today is going to be Powerstrike 1 & Tear It Up 80 min w/o from beachbody. I also have some new ones to try- Kimberly's kickbox boot camp & Double Cardio so I may do them w/ Plyo Legs & Cardio Intervals for the next two days... choices, choices! :)

August- Good to see you here, it is so humid here also, I hate it!!! Yep, the cats are scratching away! I have two other furniture type scratching posts, one upstairs & one down, and they like them to but they don't have the hiding/sitting places like the new one!

Robin- Glad it made it to you! I know what you mean about getting around to doing it, I have so many workouts & keep getting more! It makes trying to determine what to do more difficult!

Shelley- Huh, I think I may be checking out the <---- thread after my workout to see what Michelle is talking about- you & your SO in the pond naked? }(

Dana- How cold is it in your office? I am with Michelle, I'd much rather work or be in a freezing cold room than be hot- plus it helps keep you awake!! ;-) But your office does sound like an ice box!

Michelle- Darn, you get a toothless window cleaner instead of hottie without his shirt! x( So, can you see his butt crack at the top of his jeans also??? :eek: :p

Okay, well I am off to workout now- got some errands ran early this morning so i can play on-line most of the day today so I will BBL!
 
Michele - that's Mr. Pranceypants. He's been VERY brave, considering he hates water and when we put our tiny little trickley rock pond in he wouldn't go in the yard for a whole day. He actually gets pretty close to the pond. Miss Sadiepants is drinking from it already. I can't wait to see what she does when she spots the fish!

Oh, well... toothless, huh? You should probably be glad he's not shirtless then:p
 
Shelley - your pond looks pretty big. It is going to look beautiful when it is done. My in-laws have a pond w/a fountain and it is so relaxing to sit next to it. We could never have one with Gannon. Yesterday he threw a ball, 2 boats and a big dump truck in the in-laws pond. My FIL was not happy about it. x(

Michele - does your window washer have a pot belly to go with the no teeth???? I can just picture him. EEK

I have no idea what the temp in here is. Our a/c just has a button on it low/high/off. It is always on high. Plus there is the regular a/c.

I only did about 1.5 miles at lunch - it is HUMID here.

And, I didn't even start my filing. hee-hee. I decided to clean my desk instead. I will do anything to avoid the filing.

Have a great rest of the day ladies!!!
 
Shelley - Love the pond, looks like it is coming along nicely.

Robin - I absolutely LOVE funnel cake, has to be one of my favorite things ever. Great, now I have a new pregnancy craving...

Michele - Eww about the window cleaner!

Not much going on here. I pigged out on Mexican food (lots of queso!) and brownies last night, and still lost another 1/2 lb this morning. I am definitely eating enough, so trying not to worry about it.

Yesterday I did a prenatal full body strength workout (the one with the amazingly fit pregnant acrobat in it). Today it was raining outside so I couldn't walk x( So I did the salsa cardio and fat burning yoga from another prenatal video. I wish it would stop raining so I could walk! That is my favorite form of exercise now.
 
Stopping in to say hello on my way to the couch to take a nap!!! :D I am so exhausted right now so a nap sounds wonderful, normally I can't nap. I did Powerstrike 1 & a 25 minute hip/thigh/butt floorwork dvd. I plan to do Tear It Up this evening after napping & probably some on-line shopping.

Dana- I hate filing things too, so boring & mind numbing work! I don't blame you for trying to avoid it. Did you get your desk drawers cleaned too, if not hey there is another excuse to put off the filing!

Diane- You are so tiny I don't know why your doctor is saying you are gaining too much. I mean come on, you were super tiny before you got preggo and most people aren't that tiny or anywhere close so them gaining 25lbs. is probably okay but with you I would think you would need to gain more than the normal person just b/c you are so freaking tiny!!! I would say as long as you are eating somewhat healthy & getting some daily activity in, tell the doctor to shut it! }(

Okay, off to nap.
 
Dana - I am officially due 9/29 but based on my ultrasounds and when I think I ovulated, it is probably more like 10/3.

Dana - Thanks for the encouragement about the weight. I probably have gained a little more than I should, but I was so tired for so long that I didn't feel like exercising and I was not eating the best. Now that I am exercising and making more healthy food choices, my weight is going DOWN. I don't want to lose weight, but maybe it is just losing some of the extra weight I shouldn't have gained in the first place. If I keep losing weight, I will definitely add some chocolate chip cookies back into my diet to make sure Ella gets enough baby fat on her :)
 
Ooh, I'm up kind of early this morning!

SHELLEY - The pond looks totally cool!! And I love the doggy - he's like, "ehn."

ROBIN - Funnel cake! Hey, I remember when you guys talked about Funnel cake before and I didn't know what it was.

MICHELE -

>The window/gutter guy is here. He's not shirtless, but he's quite possibly toothless -- LMAO!!

Wha?! LMAO!

I'm glad to hear you're not going to get the MacBook. I've used Mac all my life http://bestsmileys.com/handicap/4.gif , and I love Mac (I've never used Windows so I can't really compare, however). I've never had a problem with Mac, not until my current MacBook.

There are so many things I don't like about this model (trivial things such as the edges where your wrists press against when typing are sharp and painful, hello did anybody test this out?!), plus it's had two recalls (one had to do with a faulty battery, and one had to do with the computer sporadically turning itself off) since I bought it less than a year ago. Of course both of those problems meant that I had to send my computer in, which meant that I had to take backup of everything on the computer before I did. Major pain in the butt (for my assistant http://planetsmilies.net/angel-smiley-5128.gif LOL). Apparently it's the white MacBook that has problems, I have no idea why it would only be the white one, but it is. But if you plan to get the iMac, I'm sure you're safe! Mac is great! You should totally get one!

JEN - Glad to hear that your cats are enjoying their new stuff. It must be so fun to watch them check out their new toys!

DANA - Hey, you, how's the filing going?

DIANE - Salsa cardio sounds fun (as far as cardio goes LOL). Is it?


All right. Go to sleep, Haters. I'm off to wash my face and get up.

:D :D :D
 
Hiya!

August!! You ARE up early! Do you have to wear clothes today? http://planetsmilies.net/person-smiley-9612.gif

Thanks for the MacBook warning. I didn't like the way the MacBook keyboard was laid out from the git go. My DH was thinking about getting one the next time his boss doles out new laptops so I'll be sure and tell him what you said. http://bestsmileys.com/computer1/6.gif

>>All right. Go to sleep, Haters. I'm off to wash my face and get up.

Shouldn't you get up before you wash your face? http://planetsmilies.net/not-tagged-smiley-10338.gif http://planetsmilies.net/kaos-not-tagged-smiley-5595.gif


Diane - it sounds like you're getting back on track -- great job!


Jen - did you manage to get a nap in today? I'm sure yo needed it!http://bestsmileys.com/sleeping/17.gif

Dana - did you get your filing done?

Shelley - I used to like to hold my wiener dogs above water just so I could watch their little legs go -- LMAO!! They would start doing the dog paddle long before they hit the water. It was hysterical! :7

I ordered a new DVD today. http://www.classicalstretch.com/ame_2007tv.html I saw rave reviews about it on the VF forums and I really need a good stretch DVD so I went for it. I love Cathe's stretches but I need a change. There were several to choose from but I picked this because it has 26 thirty minute workouts. If I like it then I'll order more later.

Okay -- I have to hit the hay. I've got a big day ahead of me tomorrow. My sister and her 2 sons are coming this Saturday and I'm no where near ready http://www.x64bit.net/site/board/style_emoticons/default/panic.gif
 
Baha. I logged on here and scrolling down to the checkins, I noticed Michele had posted something in the Open Forums about "Favorite Cardio." I have no idea what she wrote, but if it's about her favorite cardio, I can only guess. http://planetsmilies.net/party-smiley-7481.gif


I'm eating watermelon and cottage cheese. I know it sounds slightly vile. But it's pretty good.

Today I wear NO clothing! Well, actually, that's a lie because I have a special delivery plus guests coming over today and I suppose I ought to be dressed for that.

So instead it'll be NO makeup today!

The MacBook laptop is relatively heavy compared to the Windows computers I've held. But let's face it. Macs look much hipper. http://planetsmilies.net/cool-smiley-8933.gif If your DH gets one, he can think of the lugging as good exercise, plus, he'll look cool. I had a regular MacPowerBook which was more expensive and bigger than the MacBook I currently use, but the PowerBook was much more comfortable to use, the speakers were tons better, and it didn't have any recall problems.

But by the time your DH gets one, I'll bet they'll be new and improved and have a new set of problems anyway. http://planetsmilies.net/angry-smiley-1375.gif

Bahaha. But you both must get them, and then you can iChat with each other and loved ones :) hint hint.

>Shouldn't you get up before you wash your face?

Actually, I'd gotten up, moved to the computer and then took a nap on my sofa LOL.

Wait, that has nothing to do with your quip.

>They would start doing the dog paddle long before they hit the water.

OMG, that is so cute.

Have a nice sleep and have fun with your family!

:D
