HATE - Mar 28

August

Cathlete
Morning morning morning morning morning!

Oh look, the other day Corrie and Mariah started the HATE threads almost at the same time! It's HATE magic!
It's HATE MAGIC!

Mariah, I guess there's a subliminal magnetic pull to the word hate when it's all in CAPS LOL. See, check this out :

hate HATE

Don't you feel your eyes being helplessly pulled towards the capital HATE? LOL. Anyway, don't let that unfortunate overlooking mishap stop you from starting the thread again, you hear!

My business trip was a great time.

Just one thing :

NoDuts.

Yeah. I must have jinxed myself when I said that my hotels are always near donut shops when I'm out of town. Not one in site this round. But that's all right. I'm okay. It's cool. No problem. I've got it under control. All's good.

Anyway, how are you guys?! I missed you.
http://www.smileyhut.com/friends/bigarmhug.gif

I was surprised the news of the earthquake got to the States. It was big, but I didn't realize it was news-worthy big. I was sleeping in my hotel room when it happened, around 10am, I think. It was long and sway-y. I'm luckily fairly cool when it comes to earthquakes - I woke up, thought, oh wow this one's big, swayed with it a bit and then got up to see how Oogi was LOL. But moments after the quake, all the children (okay, and maybe some adults) in the hotel started going nuts waaa-ing. Turns out nobody in Tokyo even felt it.

By the way, I'll have you know I have my HEATER on. I'm so envious of you all talking about turning on air-conditioners. I just can't imagine it. I will be so happy for it to be sticky and humid and hot as can be! I don't want to be scaly anymore. I want to be sticky. Glazy, even. http://www.smileyhut.com/naughty/shifty.gif


CORRIE - Okay, what is OAL, and what t-shirt are you talking about and you DIDN'T get a space on the road trip?!

You know, that reminds me when I found an ad in a Japanese magazine for t-shirts, except that they'd forgotten to include the much needed "r" in the word throughout the entire advertisement.

MARIAH - Oh good, I'm not the only one who doesn't know what OAL and t-shirts are. Well, I know what t-shirts are, just not the ones that Corrie was talking about...I'm not sure what kind of help I could be, but if there's any info I could give you for your brother's girlfriend's daughter, please feel free to send me a message!...Your DD's name is Jana?! Wow! I've never even met one Jana in my life! It is a pretty name.

SHELLEY - ELEVEN MILES!?! Hey, wait isn't that a movie title?...So what's been going on over there with you. We want more gab. More gab! More gab!

KARA - Hi, Kara!

DEB - Thank you for thinking of me when you saw about the earthquake. Yes, I'm fine and all around where I am here seems to be normal.....There's a waiting list for the road trip?! Wow, that's amazing! And what are you talking about not adding your name because of what?!

DIANE - Oh man, business trip from He!!. Glad you survived it. How do you "almost" share a bed? Anyway, that's exciting about the heartbeat and great that you were finally able to tell your co-workers about your pregnancy!

JEN - Hi there!

ROBIN - Wow, you have a few fun opportunities to meet up with some Haters, I'm so envious! I hope you'll be able to get together with many of them and that we can have the privilege to hear about it all....And you got into the road trip? Yay for you!...By the way, your short posts pack great quips, even at early morning hours.

HEATHER - Above all else, congratulations on Aunt Flo's arrival!!! I can't tell you how relieved I am to hear that she finally made an entrance. That and that you got a spot on the road trip and are probably right now sitting on a mountain of cheese with a chocolate waterfall! Oh and also relieved to hear that you bought new shoes LMAO.

>The store stayed open 25 minutes after closing time just for me!

You can just bet as soon as they saw you walking up to the store front, they switched on the store alarms and were like HEATHER ALERT! HEATHER ALERT! And all the salespeople's hearts jumped for joy.

Love your check-in plan LOL. You will certainly be busy. I hope your elbows won't get too sore from typing all day.

MICHELE - Sorry to hear that you're not able to get away with your DH on his work trip this week. Your romantic walk sounded lovely....LOL about you and your tax. Hey, whatever happened to your DH's juice refund?

>We'll make our own fun, by golly, and we'll talk about everybody while they're gone

LMAO.

DANA - Hiya!

>We go from having 100 posts in one thread to less than 20. What, do I smell?

LMAO.

JANA - OMG, was that Jana again?! You busy monster! We hate your job, too, because it takes you away from here and us.


Where are the rest of yous? You can't hide. Work or school blah blah is no excuse. LOL.

On that note. I'm off like pounds of flab should be!

?

Heh. Anyway, I'm off.

Have a great day! :D
 
I HATE when August is away!!!

Welcome back Miss Sunshine. Thanks for always being on top of everthing that is going on with everyone. I didn't realize how much I depended on you to summarize the previous day until you weren't around.

OAL is the Order of the Arrow Ladies. I just barely belong, but there are some VERY dedicated members (Robin is usually the leader, being up so early.) You would have to check out the <--- thread in OD. There will be a song lyric following the <---. I THINK it's whatever Robin hears on the clock radio when she wakes up.

Sophie, Shelley's very talented daughter, designed a great logo for us and you can order a t-shirt if you want.

Well, I am exhausted so I am just gonna wait until tomorrow to catch up with everyone else. Spent the entire day out in the yard chopping away bushes, snipping dead grass, and cleaning up winter dirt because SPRING is SPRUNG in Nelson baby!

Ohhh, my aching puning hand.

Well, hope everyone is sleeping soundly...talk to you later.

HATERS!!!

Oooooh, August, I love my balloons! Thanks!

Yes, I ran 11 miles. When I stopped I almost fell over. True story.

Your description of the earthquake is very trippy;-)

Corrie - spring sort of sprung here for a minute but now it's gone again. Bye bye spring! We had people out in shorts and tank tops over the past couple of days. Crazy people. *insert crazy people face here* I'm so jealous that you're out in the garden. My backyard is a quagmire.

Okay, I have to go get stuff ready for work, but I'll be back later to stare mesmerized at my balloons as they bob up and down, up and down, up and down.
 
I love when August is back. Will I still be allowed to post?

Here's another Happy Birthday wish to Shelley. 11 miles is almost 1/2 a marathon! Whoowee doggies.

Corrie, I'm not really the leader of the OAL. I just get up before everyone else. I think Ms Shelley was the originator. My sister says we can go to Nelson when we come visit. I better get on the ball about getting my passport updated.

Yesterday was wonderfully springlike here, but I couldn't get out to enjoy it. I hope to have all the inside work done by next Monday, then I can do some yardwork. I know I'm in the minority, but I'd rather clean house then do yardwork. My DD, who is majoring in horticulture, has to do a project for her technical writing class. She's going to write a proposal for redoing our landscaping (or show I say for doing our landscaping, since we never did a whole lot) Hopefully, she'll get a good grade, and I'll get a design and price for my yard.

Time to go get some coffee into this sleepy body of mine. Later haters.
 
********** HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELLEY!!!!!!!!*************


Hi August- Glad you are back!!!

Robin & Corrie- Hi there!

Okay, just stopped in to say happy b-day to Shelley now off to work, I will be back around this evening.

Have great days!
 
No time to chat but just wanted to say WELCOME BACK AUGUST! We missed you.

And a BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SHELLEY! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Hi Robin and Jen and Corrie!!!

No workout last night - just a 2 mile walk. DH didn't get home from work until 8:15 so I was mad about that and I ate an entire pack of graham cracker. They were reduced fat though.

I'll check back later.

Hey to everyone. :)
 
I am going to try and post some pictures of the ultrasound from 10 weeks 4 days. Lets see if this works. I tried to update my picturetrail last night to add these pics and a belly pic from last night but it didn't work for some reason.

ETA: These are pictures of a picture, so not as clear, but you can still make out the head and some facial features, and arm in the first one, legs and the umbilical cord in the second one.



 
Good morning!!

DH just left and I'm here with my coffee. I didn't do a workout yesterday because I blew the first half of my day on the forums:eek:, then the 2nd half was spent on my DH:+ . I made one of his favorite dinners and we spent the evening trying to relax. I say TRYING because my poor DH was completely anxiety stricken over this presentation he has to deliver tomorrow. He tossed and turned and churned all night long. He does this ALL the time, and he's very well prepared so he doesn't really have a thing in the world to worry about. I think he's just nervous because he's never stood before this particular group before, and he's convinced that they invited him to speak just so they can subject him to ridicule -- he's so silly! He could use all the prayers and vibes you've got. ;)

AUGUST IS BACK!!! YEA YEA YEA!!! We really miss you when you're gone:*

And the hunt for a donut continues. I'm utterly perplexed by your seeming inability to track down a friggin donut, for crying out loud. Take your next PJ day and go straight to KK and stand in that line -- that's an order! OR...call your manager and make him stand in the donut line. I know you said he's busy but lets face it -- all he needs to do his job is a cell phone and a blackberry, and he can pretty much work from anywhere, including the line at KK http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/linie/smiley-linie-006.gif

Oh hey, DH is such a wreck that I'm almost glad I didn't go with him :eek: :p :7

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHELLEY!!! http://bestsmileys.com/eating2/1.gif

I ate a slice of carrot cake in your honor last night:9 }(

Corrie -- we all HATE it when August goes away;)

It sounds like you had a busy day in your yard. I always break out in a rash if I go anywhere near my landscape beds. How'd you like to come by my house once you've finished your own?:D. We seem to have skipped spring and gone straight into summer. I finally caved and turned on my A/C last night.

PHONE x(

Okay, I'm back. It was my DFIL.

Robin, I bet I hate yard work more than you hate yard work:p . Come to think of it, I pretty much hate indoor work, too. I need Corrie for the outdoor work and Shelley for the indoor work!:7

Jen, Jen, hi Jen! I'll be looking for you later:*

Dana, I'm so disappointed! You cheated with REDUCED FAT graham crackers!?!? That's...that's truly pathetic. The least you could do is cheat with something really yummy like a big fat cookie or a Reese's PB Egg. }( :p I'm sure your walk all but erased those calories;)

So, what you got cookin for today?:)

Diane, OH WOW! OH WOW! OH WOW! Your bean is a precious little baby!:+ I never cease to be amazed by ultrasound pictures. What a miracle!
 
I'm just jumping in quickly to say aaahhhhh to Diane's baby picture and Michele, stop that. Dana, you cheat any old healthy way you want.

I think we need a I hate to do yardwork check in.
 
Diane - look at the bean! Awww!!!

Michele - gabbing on the phone again???

Robin - I don't mind doing yard work, but, I don't do it b/c I have enough crap to do inside.

Jen - thanks for yesterday's update on Terri.

Has anyone heard from Arista? I hope she is just busy.

I'm helping my co-worker fold newsletters - talk about boring. She's got 9000, yes NINE THOUSAND to do. Yikes.

Better scat and get back to that. Peace out!
 
Diane, could they tell if it was a boy or a girl? I could not make it out. The 2nd one almost looks like a boy (you know what I mean with that one), but I can't tell.

Oh, so happy for you!!! Kiddos are wonderful!!!
 
Thanks everyone!

Jana - No they couldn't tell and didn't try to. It was only at 10 weeks, so the "stuff" usually isn't visible yet. I probably won't find out until around 18 weeks, so in about 5 weeks from now. I can't wait!
 
Yes Michele, I am guilty of cheating with reduced fat graham crackers. HA!

August, if you soon don't find some donuts, I"m going to mail you a pack of tasty cakes! HA!!!!

30 minutes to go and like 7000 more newsletters to help with.

Hi Jana!!!! You're getting to be quite the regular around here again! YEAH!!!
 
Dana, OMG! Is it just the 2 of you folding the letters? I think I'd shoot myself. Mmmmmmmm...tasty cakes:9

Jana, is your boss still out? Are you playing on company time there, young lady?:7

Hey Janjan, we need to know your birthday. We have a list of every hater's birthday except yours. So...when is it?

I've been shopping online for cute tops to take to Italy. I can NEVER find topsx( . I just ordered 2 from the HSN website:eek: I've never ordered from them before, and I absolutely NEVER watch those shopping channels. I hope the stuff is good. It's a designer top (I bought the same top in 2 different colors -- exciting, eh?), but I hope it's not a cheapo version. Have any of you ever ordered clothes from them, and if so, were you happy?
 
Michele
What size are you, and have you checked out Newport News
they have very reasonable and VERY fashionable clothes there and lots of tops you can wear together for a cool relaxed look

DIANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome, and did i see just 186 days to go or did i skim past that too quickly

and again
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! And we wonder if miracles exist they sure do and there is proof

Welcome Back August

Shelly Happy Birthday to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im sorry i didnt come early this morning and wish it to you
are you feeling better


Jen
How is your tummy are you feeling better or just not saying so we dont get on your back again

back later Off to a meeting
 
Good evening haters! Tonight was my night off from working out but I think I am more tired than if I had worked out. I left work about 3:45, was so freaking mentally exhausted I had to leave....

so then I went to my lady who sews everything for me b/c I don't even think I could sew something if I tried. I love Sue!
then went to get some shampoo & conditioner
then to Kohls... got 4 shirts, wanted shoes but couldn't find any I liked.
then to my tax guy b/c I have to amend my taxes, ugh!
then to the grocery store for a few items
then home to clean up after the cats, swept upstairs & downstairs
then shower
now here! :)

August- I am so happy to have you back & STAY AWAY FROM THE DONUTS!

Robin- I am with you on the lawn work, I pay my next door neighbor kid, I think he is 17, to mow my yard. I am also thinking of having all the landscaping torn out & redone this summer... I alreay have the price quote on tearing it all out, now need to find out what it'll cost to redo it!

Corrie- Glad to see you back around!

Dana- I am worried about Arista too... that isn't like her to not post for so long.

Diane- Oh, how exciting!!!! Thank you for sharing!

Michele- Have you been to Kohls lately? I always find cute tops & skirts there, of course I do have to admit I shop in the junior section a lot... :eek:

Shelley- Another happy b-day to you!!! How was your day?

Mariah- Stomach problems, me?!?! I don't know what you are talking about.... :p

Jana- Hey there!

Okay, I am off to find some food...didn't check spelling so I'm sure many mistakes... I will BBL.

Michelle- You here?
