HATE - Oct 11

August

Cathlete
Morning!

I just got up and ran to the dry cleaners to pick up my comforter. A while back I happened across that thread in the OD that talked about washing your down comforter, and it grossed me out enough that I ran mine to the local cleaner LOL.

It's still warm enough here that I'm wearing a short-sleeved shirt right now, but nights are getting a tad chilly.....

Anyway, I run there to pick it up and the woman working there who I'd never seen before tells me my comforter is ready but she doesn't know how much the charge is. Huh? So she asks me if it's all right if I pay next time I'm in, so I tell her it's no problem. Then she gets my comforter that is now wrapped in plastic, puts it on the table in front of me, I look down, and see a water stain on it LOL. http://bestsmileys.com/nono/9.gif

So I say, "There seems to be a water stain on my comforter. Or is it on the plastic?"

And she says, "They couldn't get it out..... Or....is it on the plastic?"

And I say, "..............................."

And she says, "We'll wash it again. Can you come in next week?"

http://bestsmileys.com/nono/4.gif

What on earth am I supposed to think about this? Did they just fluff up my comforter? How could they have spent a week to clean it and then there's a water stain on it?

Happy thoughts, happy thoughs, not gonna think about it, happy thoughts!




DANA - OMG, Hotel Hershey, LMAO!!! I can see it now - relaxing in warm chocolate and every now and then licking my arm. Heaven! You definitely should treat yourself (to the overnight, not your arm, unless you want to lick your arm which is certainly your right LOL).

That would be so fun for us Haters to all gather and spend an overnight at Hotel Hershey. Haters at Hotel Hershey. That sounds very nice indeed!

>I am staying at the Hershey Lodge

LOL! Hershey Inn, Hershey Cabin, heck, anything Hershey is good in our book!

I want to see more photos of cutie Ralphie Pie!

>I just changed my avatar to Ralphie.

LMAO. You did that just to spite me http://bestsmileys.com/nono/8.gif.

MICHELE -

>I love Love LOVE your new avatar

http://bestsmileys.com/nono/7.gif

>Our anniversary is in November -- we've been married 23 years

That is awesome. I hope you'll think of a nice, relaxing way to celebrate.

>I just finished my workout and now I feel like I'm going to puke.

Oh no. I guess this isn't the "pushed yourself to your limit in a good way" kind of puke. I hope you were able to get in some dinner and feel all better now.

JEN - I'm glad to hear you're feeling a little better. I hope Chad will feel better soon, too. Urgh, that must be awful to have a bum shoulder.

>Thank you for sharing and the perch you for them looks HUGE! How tall is it?

It's 183 cm (6 feet) tall. I totally wish it had a hammock, but aside from that, we all love it. There are lots of levels and scratchy posts and it's really sturdy.


Well, I go out of town again tomorrow for three days http://planetsmilies.net/angry-smiley-304.gif

I'll be kind of glad when I can put my darn suitcase away (HINT : And be able to stay with the squirrels every day).

All right. I suppose I could do some work since I don't have to spend time putting my comforter cover on my comforter today. Yeah, well I know that would only take me five minutes at the most. And your point would be? :p

Later!
 
Evening haters, Chad just left...he came over about 8ish and we ended up crashing & falling asleep so he just left a few minutes ago! http://planetsmilies.net/tired-sleeping-smiley-4647.gif

I think he only came over to make me stop working out... http://planetsmilies.net/angry-smiley-17026.gif which made me http://planetsmilies.net/angry-smiley-1651.gif but then he gave me a back rub so I was http://planetsmilies.net/happy-smiley-732.gif!! I did B&G this morning & CTX Kickbox Cardio tonight, didn't get to BM2 b/c he showed up! ;)

Michele- I don't think you could be his mother... unless you had him when you were 10 or 11, I think I have you at the right age- he is 41! He will find out in 6 weeks if he has to go back in for surgery again, if so he is going to get it done by the end of the year so he doesn't have to pay another $2K out of pocket for deductible and out of network doctor, since the doc he went to is a speciliast in St. Louis. He is kind of upset about it but said he can't deal with the pain he experiences now forever so whatever it takes... I did my best to take his mind off of it! http://planetsmilies.net/shocked-smiley-9456.gif

August- Holy cow! That is one tall tower! I bet the babies love it! :) I feel like a bad mom now for only having one that stands as tall as my window sill...now I'll probably have to go out and buy my brats a new one... http://planetsmilies.net/angry-smiley-1497.gif and then I wonder why they are spoiled rotten. :eek: ;-) }(

Okay, enough with playing with the smiley faces tonight, I need to try and get some sleep! I'll BB in the morning! :)
 
OMG, Jen, look at your cute post!

>He is kind of upset about it but said he can't deal with the pain he experiences now forever so whatever it takes... I did my best to take his mind off of it!

YEAH!

>I feel like a bad mom now for only having one that stands as tall as my window sill.

Funny, I feel like a bad mom when I see them get spastic, frantically race up to the top and totally bite the dust :eek: . Thankfully it hasn't happened many times.

Okay, back to work now. Later!
 
Goodmorning haters. Not being able to post much at work anymore has seriously depleted my computer time. I miss you all so much. I may have to set my alarm even earlier for some quality computer time.

August and Michele, thanks for sharing the squirrel photos. I should try to take some kitty pictures to post too.

Dana, good for you! I hope you have a marvelous time in Hershy. I grew up less than 10 miles from the Hershey Hotel. I worked at Hersheypark when I was in college. I love going back to the area.

My workouts have been faltering and my eating is in the toilet. I'm have serious blues for no reason. I think part of it may be Cathe-computer-time-withdrawl. And now I have to get to work. I hope you all have a great day. I'm going to wallow in self pity today.
 
I'm FREEZING!!! http://bestsmileys.com/cold/5.gif

I'm happy to say I'm feeling much better this morning. My tummy ache and headache are all gone. Now if I could just figure out how to get DH to STOP SNORING x( . I'm not kidding -- I can't take it much longer. I haven't had a good night's sleep in 15 years -- lol! ;(

Cardio is on tap today and I think I'm hooking up with my buddy, Sean:D . My last elliptical workout was so awesome and I'm hoping for another ride like that. :D

DH is taking me out to dinner tonight :D . Thursday seems to have become our date night, probably because that's the only night DH gets home at a decent hour. I hope we go to the same restaurant that we went to last Thursday -- I want to find out how our favorite waiter did on the LSAT exam.


August - As usual, we'll miss you terrible, but have a nice trip and when you get home I hope you can put that suitcase back in the closet where it belongs!:*

>A while back I happened across that thread in the OD that talked >about washing your down comforter, and it grossed me out enough that >I ran mine to the local cleaner

I was thoroughly amused by that thread. I mean, stop watching Oprah and we'll all be just fine -- LMAO!!

http://bestsmileys.com/lol/1.gif

JUST SAY NO TO OPRAH! :p

>That would be so fun for us Haters to all gather and spend an >overnight at Hotel Hershey. Haters at Hotel Hershey. That sounds very >nice indeed!

We need to plan a Haters GTG. I've been dying for a GTG but I don't see one in my NEAR future -- maybe next year. I'd love to go to Hershey but we'd have to be very discreet about it. I have some relatives near there who I don't much care for and I wouldn't want them to know I was in town :eek: }( . They'd be offended if I didn't visit with them, and frankly, I'd rather be stabbed in the forehead with an ice pick than have to do that ;) :p


Jen -

>I think he only came over to make me stop working out...

Good for him! I LOVE him :D ...and I love you, too, which is why I love the way he cares for you :*

>Michele- I don't think you could be his mother... unless you had him when you were 10 or 11

ROTFLMAO!! I suppose it's possible. My OB case study conceived when she was 12 years old :eek:

I'll be praying for Chad and I really hope they can do something non surgically to fix his shoulder.


Robin -

>I miss you all so much. I may have to set my alarm even earlier for some quality computer time.

We miss you, too ;) :* , and I haven't been posting as much either. My elbow thanks me for it but I do miss everyone. I've been cutting way back on <--- posting because I can't keep up with it. When I log on in the morning and see 25 posts it completely overwhelms me. I'm busy in the early morning hours getting DH off to work so I rarely sit down at the computer before 8 or 9 at the earliest.

>My workouts have been faltering and my eating is in the toilet. I'm have serious blues for no reason.

http://bestsmileys.com/comfort/4.gif We're here if you need to vent :* . I might join you in the HH. I'll bring a nice foreign flick so we can be sophisticated and encourage our own personal growth -- LMAO!!


Dana - LMAO at your post!! Several of those crazy <--- posters have avatars of themselves wearing tin foil hats. :7


Shelley - It's so nice to see you here this morning :* . Get the jacket -- you work hard and you deserve to treat yourself once in awhile. :*


Hello to Diane, Jennifer, Terri (if you're still lurking), and anyone else I may have missed. I'll BBL :)
 
Michele when are you going to wear your foil hat??????

I won't be around at all tomorrow - I'm going to a training. Yippee!!! Can ya tell I hate trainings? At least my boss is going and she'll drive. Her DH bought a 2008 Mustang Shelby - wonder if we'll be going in that?

I would love to type more but my lunch is up. So have a great weekend all and I'll chat w/you all later! :*


I forgot to call Jenn a show-off for all those smilies yesterday! HA>
 
Hello Haters and Miss Ella Grace.

How are you all doing? Sorry I haven't been around. The virus hit me hard this week plus with the rollercoaster weather just adds to it. Heat exhaustion followed by a chest cold/bronchitis/swollen glands,etc...But, I'm getting better and plan to workout on Sat. AM.

August-Love the pics of the squirrels. My cats don't have any high cat toys/perches cause they get on top of my kitchen cupboards.

Mustang Shelbys are tough.

Have a Great Night.
 
Evening haters! I am finished with Tone It Up but still need to do BM2 upper body but taking a break to check in and maybe grab a bite to eat before finishing up.

August- I love the basketball hoop & ball, LMAO!!! Ah, cats are made to fall off things- unless it's my Sport who hardly ever lands on his feet, never seen anything like it! It's funny. }(


Michele-
>frankly, I'd rather be stabbed in the forehead with an ice pick than have to do that http://planetsmilies.net/violent-smiley-1751.gif

Your wish is my command, LOL! http://planetsmilies.net/winking-smiley-41.gif

>Good for him! I LOVE him ...and I love you, too, which is why I love the way he cares for you

I'll tell him he gets a thumbs up from the haters! http://planetsmilies.net/happy-smiley-8836.gif I don't think he realizes that he is creating a spoiled monster/angel, LOL! http://planetsmilies.net/angel-smiley-5102.gif

Dana-
>I forgot to call Jenn a show-off for all those smilies yesterday! HA http://planetsmilies.net/confused-smiley-17714.gif I don't know what you are talking about!! http://planetsmilies.net/winking-smiley-41.gif

Jennifer- Sorry you haven't been feeling good. I think us haters have been passing around the germs. http://planetsmilies.net/sad-smiley-8070.gif I hope you feel better soon.

Okay, off to finish up BM2, I'll BBL if anyone is around!
