August
Cathlete
Moooooooooooooooooornin!!!!!!!
Oogi had such a wonderful morning yesterday morning. Can I just tell you how much she made on the Stalk Market? OMG! I was so excited for her. The rates were out the roof!
And the new month of March brought new things to the village, the best being butterflies! They're so pretty and colorful fluttering delicately to and fro all around the flower patches..for Oogi to trap with her net and sell, because really, it's all about the money LOL. The village flea market is tomorrow, so I have to help Oogi to prepare the things she wants to sell, as most of Oogi's neighbors are mongo, greedy shoppers. Weasel comes this Sunday, so she ought to be able to get rid of that fake painting soon.
But let's get to more important things. Like my meeting yesterday. Okay, not really my meeting, but after my meeting. To be more clear, I'm talkin' 'bout DONUTS.
The answer to the big question, How Many Donuts Did August Have?....
Well, I'll cut to the chase. I'll tell you the big answer : August had NONE DONUTS! N-O-N-E! And why did August have NONE DONUTS? Because the freakin donut shop went out of business!!!!!!
What on earth is it with people in Tokyo?! Do they not eat donuts?! Or is this just some kind of cruel joke on August? What?! What?! And it was pitiful, girls, pitiful for me to walk around and around the area desperately searching for the donut shop in dismay, finally going into a clothing store to ask its whereabouts and being told that it had shut down and moved away. LMAO, my first thought was you guys.
So in the end, I had an unplanned clean eating day LOL.
I really have to get my butt to KK as soon as possible. If it goes out of business before I get there, I will just be beside myself.
You guys all made me crack up with your HMF funny quips.
Terri -
>I'm doubting my ability to stick with it...which surely is setting myself up for failure.
LOL. Well, at least you're sure about something! But really, I know the BFFM thing about not setting yourself up for failure, but I also understand that sometimes it works when you yourself know it's going to happen, but you write or say it with doubt so you don't jinx or put pressure on yourself. I think you're going to be able to do your challenging rotation for a month. Just a month. Just think it's just one month. And congrats for getting your 3rd and final GS!
LMAO about your tracking that you're 726 calories in at noon!! But you know, on second thought, after reading Robin's post, come to think of it, that's really not that much, especially considering you wake up before 7:30am. Jeez, in that case, you'd BETTER have eaten 726 cals by noon!
By the way, I told my Mom the tonsil story and she totally laughed her A off.
Michele - You know, for the last week I've been not wanting to put on my HRM, or even my workout shoes. But having the HRM has been really inspiring, at least for me, at least normally. It's fun to see how much I've burned away and how many hours I've worked out during the week. It sounds like a nice present for your sister.
Thank you for posting the link to the rotation with the updated version. Wow, it was a...feisty little thread there. I've copy pasted it and will be studying it after I get over my busy week. I also took a look at the intermediate one. Oh the choices, the choices!
So the stragglers gave birth immediately and vigorously? You must have good food in your house LOL. So does that mean the exterminators will give you a refund?...Oh yeah, I see. You have a deal with them. Sheesh, you really must have some great food at your place to have a deal with the exterminators!
>it involves gluttony...and sloth..can't forget the sloth
LMAO! Were you solo, or did your ant friends join you?
I've also basically had the same hair style for....like since I was old enough to have what would be considered long hair.
Dana - I totally know about the Sparkspeople mega-mail. Did we talk about that before? Man almighty, do they send stuff out or what?! I'm like you, I don't even bother looking at them anymore....I'm glad to hear you were able to figure out how to get a workout in, and that's fantastic about the 3.5 pounds!! That's hardly something to not be happy about, woman!...That's also great about your new do. If you like it straight without having to use an iron, you could try a straight perm, do they have that where you are? They are so great...Wait, a promotion, too? Wow, tons of cool things going on there with you! Congrats! But yeah, I can see how it would be hard to fit in a workout schedule in there. I don't suppose you want to get out of your mode of transportation a 20-min walk away from work so that you can get in 40 min a day? Heh, no I suppose not.
Robin - Sounds like you had a nice and peaceful day. So glad to hear your do turned out nicely and that you can get it officially cut on Monday. Anyway, I'll keep my fingers crossed for sunny weather, so have a great time and we'll miss you!....Mmm. Peanut M&Ms....
Arista - LMAO at your goal HEIGHT! I'm so there with you on that! I hope your plan of action will set you in the right direction for your goals (maybe reaching up to the high shelves to get to Ryan's stash will help on the height part LOL). I think it's a great idea to not keep junk around the house - I haven't kept anything unhealthy in my place for months and it's really been great - I used to find the thought of not having any chocolate in my cupboards completely impossible if not frightening, but I'll tell you, it's really great not to, and it will help a lot. Keep lots of fresh fruit to snack on to rid yourself of the terrible sweet tooth stuff!
Jen - Urgh, I mean really, urgh! Please feel better soon! I'm glad you could come by to say hi. We worry. A friend of mine years ago told me that she had this kind of trouble and found that the only thing that helped her was to eat a couple rings of canned pineapple every evening. I hesitate to write that since I've never heard anything about that being effective, but I wish I could help you somehow, so I'm throwing any info your way!...Oh, I just got to your feeling better post. I'm so glad to hear that!
Diane - Diane, for crying out loud. I think letting the secret out is better than jeopardizing your and the baby's health! Don't make us go over there!! If you really can't tell people you're pregnant, then you should come up with a good white lie, like you hurt your back doing Cathe or something like Arista suggested. Be careful!!
Judy - Hi, Judy, hi!
OMG, I just saw Dana's photo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't tell you how fun it is to put such a pretty face to the Dana I know!
All right, I'm off to yet another meeting. And no, there ain't no donut shop in that area. Or any area near me, apparently.
Have a fun day!
P.S. I'm reluctant to tell you that Ched came back, begging me to let him into my life again. I told him I'd give him one last try.
On a similar note, the avocado I bought when I first bought all the fixings for my Mexican dinner whenever that was, is dangerously close to becoming an avocado prune.
