Cathlete
I had a dose of Rhythmic Step comfort after my quiet time this morning to welcome the official first day of spring. I waited too long to start wearing new shoes, and I am paying the price for it. Oh, my aching feet!

I received a phone call from my church early this morning. A friend died unexpectedly late yesterday. :-( Her husband found her in their bed. He is a trauma surgeon, but there was nothing he could do for her. She was already gone. I just found out that she was depressed. I wish I had known. :-( She was such a good friend to me when I was battling intense depression. I have fond memories of the night she made me come over to her home and play dress-up with the wild clothes in her closet. :+ She could make me laugh even when I was in the pit of depression. :) I am not sure if an autopsy will be done or not, but I am hoping that she did not take her own life. Depression is hell. This I know all too well. Please pray for her family. Her husband and her son are having such a hard time with this. Her memorial service will be Friday afternoon.

My cycle still has not started. I have no appetite. The sight and smell of food has been nauseating and repulsive to me all day. I had chills this afternoon and hope I am not coming down with something. I had a hard time keeping my dinner down. I did not actually throw up, but trying to eat was a challenge. I kept gagging. I finally gave up on the pasta, went to the mall to pay a bill, and ate a small cup of frozen yogurt. :9 It was good.

I am going to bounce on my rebounder for a few minutes and call it a day. My Needak rebounder has a nice mat that soothes my aching feet when I bounce gently on it. A warm bubble bath and a restful night of sleep will be nice too. :)

Shelley, I need directions to the hidey hole please.

Michele, the new shoes are fine. I am not sure what I did to my little toe. It looks like I slammed it into something.

Jen, please send all those pregnancy thoughts to Becky. She needs another baby. :7 I need a husband first! ;-) I am definitely not pregnant. :p

Blessings,
Heather B.

Heather,

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. She sounds like she was a great friend and person. That's terrible what happened. I will be thinking about her husband and son. No wonder you didn't feel well at dinner!

I hope your cycle starts soon... you've been waiting a while! I was really tired and cranky tonight too... any moment now! LOL

OK, I'm so super tired right now, I should probably leave the boards before I say something silly like... I hate dieting! OH wait, that was the truth, not silly. :p

I had ice cream again tonight. I don't have any control of my eating during "these days" before the cycle. But I did work out for an hour, so I don't feel too bad. But I don't know about this LA Weight Loss thing.... I don't see how their recommended portion sizes could ever be enough food to satisfy my huge appetite. I think I need to reduce my calories more gradually. And it was really too expensive for me to do it... I think I'll go get my refund tomorrow and try to take a more reasonable approach to losing weight, one that I feel in control of. Its not going to take me forever to lose 20 pounds, I hope!

I used to be in control of my weight, its only after I started getting really busy and stressed did I kinda lose hold of it. I think if I made the time to exercise (like I always did before I got super-busy stressed out and super-whack :p ) and cook healthy meals, I could totally get it back. Its all about prioritizing!

Sorry for the egocentric post. Thanks for listening girls. I'll do personals tomorrow morning... in the meantime, good night and sleep tight gals!

Take care Heather. {{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
 
Hey there, Heather,

I was getting ready to post when I noticed that you had just posted elsewhere, and thought you might be getting ready to start our Hate thread, so I waited a bit and sure enough, here you are starting our thread!

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's sudden death. All the questions and emotions that goes through ones head and body under that kind of situation is....well, it just puts the world in such a strange limbo. My thoughts go to you, and to her family.

What with all that is going on with you, I hope you take extra good care of yourself and make this weekend a peaceful, restful one.

********************

I've got Pedro on my lap and I'm horizontal on my sofa. It's not a Snake Sofa, but it'll do.


ROBIN - 20 minutes for a nap sounds just right. Those relaxation tapes sound pretty good. Do you think the woman telling you how much you hate sweets and junk (LOL) worked into your brain successfully?

>Does your brother have a job?

LMAO!! Are you implying that I don't have a job? In fact, this afternoon, for sure I'll be working on a good nap.

Okay, don't laugh. My brother is a writer. I know you must be surprised. Yes, we both speak Japanese enough to get by. There are a lot of sort of funky things about the Japanese language when compared to the English language. One major difference is there is a completely different set of verbs for when you are talking to someone "superior" or "inferior" to you.

So, for example, if you are saying "The boss is eating his lunch." or "My son is eating his lunch." the word for "eat" would be two totally different words. It's nuts. But at least there isn't the "le" or "la" business like in European languages.

>My DH found that if you look him right in the eye and call him by his first name, he'll stop and listen. LOL.

LMAO!

DEB - Woo hoo, you did the two threads at once system - looks like it worked like a charm!

I'm sorry to hear about your dad. 65 is too young. But awesome for him that he had ten good years of retirement and golf before passing.

I'm totally not explaining the couch well at all LOL. Nevertheless, it really is the sleep-inducing sofa of the world. I wish I could invite you all over to nap with me.

>I'm done with $$it food-this eating clean I've been doing has ruined me for fast food now if I could just get it to work for chocolate

Wow, that was quite a reaction to Taco Hell. I guess that's a really good sign. LOL about it getting to work for chocolate.

The man who lives across the street from the place I work (when I'm not working at home) also seems to have a crow problem. He has a lovely yard full of trees and blooming, colorful flowers, and he obviously puts a lot of time into caring for them. So what did he do to protect his yard from the crows? He bought black plastic life-size blow up crows and hung them from a branch of every tree on his property. In essence, it looks like there are a dozen dead crows hanging by strings in his yard. It's a total riot!

Hey, did you know that Tippi Hedron is the mother of Melanie Griffith?

>HEAlTH ME, HEALTH ME

LMAO. And I said it to myself in my best fly voice.

So how did you like the gross steel cut oats?

>next meet at the coffee shop, missy!-safer-(I'm pointing my finger at you-not that one-my index finger -LOL

LMAO!

Yeah, Mariah, I'm agreeing with Deb! Don't invite potentially scary people to where you live! http://bestsmileys.com/nono/6.gif

You know, now that you mention it, my exercise bra is probably like twenty years old.

That's great that you're feeling like a possible workout, even as soon as today. LOL that you're going to do a GS one!

Congratulations about your daughters and their musical & theatrical talents! That must be fantastic to watch them perform, and if you're getting compliments like are, your DDs really must be good! How exciting! If they ever have questions about the industry, or need agent advice, feel free to ask me LOL.

>I feel the same way about this thread that Corrie does too-very safe-but I've never had a bad experience yet-I'm kind of niave-does it happen?

Do you mean setting up to meet people, or posting certain info? I've never had this kind of a relationship over the internet before, but I sure would love to meet up with you all. I just would refrain from eating anything homemade that anyone brought, 'cause you never know, right?

http://bestsmileys.com/lol/25.gif

I've never read anything bad happening in the time that I've been posting...

MSY -

>DISGUSTING ALERT!

LMAO!!!!! You and your DH's alert is a riot. Wouldn't want to be hit with that missile, for sure. How did it get to be DH's mission to defuse it? That's a nice DH.

Wait a minute. Sophie is posted in the <--- thread? I must go find.

OH! They're up in here, too! Woo hoo!

SHELLEY - Sophie is a cutie! She looks very sophisticated. And very cool glasses. And very cool vest.

>I'm so glad I didn't spend oodles of money on it, especially since it didn't last NOT THAT I'M SAYING YOURS WON'T. Oh man, that wasn't very tactful. *note to self - do not give advice when PMSing*

LMAO LMAO!! Your wedding sounded really nice. I had a friend who had her wedding in her backyard with a stereo playing her favorite song for her to walk the aisle. The flowers were all in bloom and it was really beautiful and nice.

Me, too, I cannot wait until I can put away (cue sound effect) The Warm Outfit. It can't be much longer.

HEATHER - I cannot believe your Aunt Flo STILL has not come home. What on earth is her problem? Is this something that has happened before? I mean this much of a lapse with such a reaction to food and stuff? It sounds awful! Maybe you should get the large frozen yogurt. http://bestsmileys.com/love2/1.gif

Hemp protein? Does it get you stoned? LOL. How do you eat Pinto beans? I've been looking around at the ETL stuff and notice that people eat 1 cup of beans every day. 1 cup?! How? I'm really intrigued to try to cut out meat from my diet (with occasional fish). I read the link you posted with great interest. I would love to know if there are foods I should be trying to avoid.

MICHELE - Oh no, more no sleep? That's awful. I'm still sleeping like a fiend (well, except for last night...which means I guess that I'll need to take a nap today...oh no, wait, I was going to do that anyway http://bestsmileys.com/funny/2.gif). Actually, I get the inkling that I might be fighting off some cold or something because I really am sleeping weirdly too much, and yesterday my mom woke to find she'd caught a cold (and as I told you before, the woman NEVER gets sick - though we talked today and she's almost totally back to normal).

Anyway, I hope the yoga will do you some good.

>but that's because I'm old

http://bestsmileys.com/rude/16.gif Old schmold.

>Me, I would've been all over that banquet like the ants in my kitchen.

LMAO!!

ARISTA - Congratulations on setting the date! It's so exciting!

BECKY -

>I ate : a baked potato, a small salad, my hubby's potato skin

LMAO! That is totally funny.

I saw your photos, too. And I agree with Michele. You've a nice-looking family there! And you look so healthy and slim.

DANA -

>I've got work to do (and I gotta pee)

LMAO! Apparently you, too, are feeling quite comfortable with us.

JEN - I ended up not being able to sleep well last night, either. May I also blame Michele, or is it more logical to blame the hour nap I took in the late afternoon?...That post that Corrie wrote was great. Thanks for pasting it in our Hate thread! LOL!

DIANE - LMAO! I loved your "workout." I hope it didn't make you sweat too profusely, being that you were at work and all.

CORRIE - !! You nut!

TERRI - Urgh, having a busy week? We miss you! Have a nice, deep sleep and we'll be wishing you good lazy vibes for the weekend!



All right. I suppose I should actually get up and do something. :)

Have a nice day everyone. And again, well wishes to you, Heather.




ETA : Hey, Arista, we were posting at the same time! Maybe now that you know the general plan of eating at LA, even if you leave you can follow a modified version that will be good for you! :)
 
Oh Heather, I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I was writing my post for today and checked to so if anyone had posted and saw your sad news. I hope that you are okay and my thoughts will be with you and your friends.

This was supposed to be my post for Mar 21, but I was just too darn slow!!!!!:


Good evening everyone!

I was a gorgeous day today! The sun was shining and spring was in the air!

I had a hard time getting to my w/o for some reason - I just felt a real lack of energy (perhaps from my date with Dr. House????). Do you think a person can eat too LITTLE carbs and then have low energy? How many servings of carb-y foods do you guys eat every day? I have been so focused on getting enough protein and avoiding too many carbs that I fear I may have gone overboard. I did the first 4 intervals of IMAX2 and then Supersets lower body 2 sets, but I really had to push myself.

Strangely, my energy levels went way up after I ate lunch (only carbs were 1 slice of ww bread) and I was able to spend several hours out in the fresh air doing spring yard clean up and playing with the girls.

*August*

>But it was a wonderful day after that, and Oogi was able to go play at her friend's village for a while

Okay - I need to know what game you are playing!!!! It sounds very addictive. I am not a big gamer, but I do like games with character interaction. With Oogis and kitties and villages I think I would like your game!

I, too, am a napper. I find that when DH is home I need to have least one a week to catch up on the sleep I lose at night.... Naps are soo lovely, such fond memories….
Once upon a time, long, long ago, we lived in apartment that had a shaded balcony. We put an old sofa frame with a couple of foam mattresses out on that balcony and some potted palm-type plants and flowers. I would come home from class, grab a blanky and curl up out there. The wind would brush past my face...I could hear the sounds of the kids in the neighbourhood...and I would drift off into the best sleep of my life. I LONG for that exact environment to sleep in again. I LOVE naps outside...

*Michele*

>This thread IS safe! I'm the Mayor here and and I say bad experiences are strictly off limits in Hateville. Those are reserved for the OD forum -- ROTFLOL!

I am soooo glad you are the Mayor!!! I didn't know you started this thread until today (read it over in the risky OD forum somewhere). I am pretty scared of the Rotations forum myself. For a while I wouldn't even look in there because the vibes were so bad.

http://www.smileyhut.com/silly/rex2.gif btw, I think August needed this yesterday...

*SHELLEY*

Sophie's glasses look sooo good. You can totally see what she is going to look like as a teenager - I would be worried if I were you....those lips! People pay thousands of dollars and can never come close.

LOL at your advice to Arista! I think I'll add my 2cents too and see if she decides to elope!

*Robin*

Glad to see you got everything done today (I have never completed BM2!). I really want to know which is worse - PMS or menopause?

*Deb*

I'm sorry you lost your dad at such a young age. I am amazed at how many people's lives are touched by cancer.

Yay for your daughters! My girls are too young to be into many things, but my oldest, Emili is in dance and the instructor has been in awe of her natural flexibility (don't know if she is impressed with her actual dancing though! LOL)

>thats me, thats me-oh look how pretty I am- my hair stays in place even while I run-and look at my girlish figure....

ROTFLMAO!! You and Michele are cracking me up today!

*MSY*

Oh no, LMAO, *deep breath*, I LOVE your poop story, brought back so many fond memories....unfortunately MY DH almost barfs when he has to deal with poop....


*Heather*

I had a smarty-pants comment about PMS here to try to make you laugh, but I took it out 'cause I don't think you need that right now. :)
Thanks for reminding me I need to go get my hemp hearts!

*Arista*

I am going to be really mean and tell you (cue horror movie sound effects) "MY WEDDING STORY". Nope, not tonight, you gotta wait for it. When you are really stressed and thinking that everything is going wrong, I will post the tale of the Two Lovebirds, Not Enough Money, And The INLAWS FROM HELLLLLLLLLL!!! ( Dress design courtesy of Guns’n’Roses video, hair by lady in small salon in Prince Albert , SK……)

Don’t worry, your wedding will be great because we are all here to give you hugs and I am so close I can come down and help you out – you can even borrow my wedding dress. (Cue insane laughter.)http://bestsmileys.com/wedding/2.gif


*Becky*

I’m so sorry that you had to deal with cancer. From what have read (and seen on your picture trail) you appear to be feeling better now! Hurray!

ROFLMAO about your food struggles. PMS does that to me too. So does working outside and crying children and not enough sleep and walking past my fridge…..ahhhhhhhh! I want Cappuccino Fudge Ripple ice cream!!!!!

*Dana*

Hope everything came out okay. LOL (the pee that is) Bravo! You showed terrific restraint at the luncheon!

BTW – I have a date with Dr. House every night. I bought the second season after my Mom lent me the first. I have no idea why I lust after him…..I guess I just have no taste!

*Diane*

Definitely a workout!

*Jen*

LOL – When I started reading the Nickelback thread I got really nervous. I thought “Shelley won’t like me, she’ll think I’m such a dork if I like Nickelback! I want Shelley to like me….she is like, totally cool.” I was right back in high school. http://www.smileyhut.com/user_submitted/loser.gif

Then I saw the brave souls who stood up for Nickelback. Those of us who like our pants around our feet and really do want to be a ROCK STAR!!!!! I absorbed the energy of Debbie (thank you DEBBIE!!!) and decided to brave the wrath of the OD forum with my confession.

*Terri*

That post just barely takes you out of the lurker category! LOL Hope you sleep well.


Gosh, I started this before dinner! I have cooked, fed, bathed, storied, kissed and cuddled and all while writing this friggin essay!!! Time for my date….DH better phone soon or Dr. House is getting some tonight!

Talk to you all tomorrow
Corrie

I was on my way to bed when I saw Heather's post.

Heather, I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like you touched each other's lives in a special way. Please don't be hard on yourself for not picking up on her depression. Sometimes the people who are the most depressed do the best job of hiding it. I'm sure the time she spent in your company did much to lift her spirits. Rest assured that you and her family will be uppermost in my thoughts and prayers, and I hope you can take comfort in the lovely memories you have of her.

Arista, August, Corrie -- I see ya in there:* :*

I'm so tired -- too tired to reply to your posts right now. I'll come back to play after a good nights sleep. :*
 
http://bestsmileys.com/flipping/3.gif


WOW! Corrie is back with a monster post! Love it!

Guess I can't get to work just yet. :D

>Do you think a person can eat too LITTLE carbs and then have low energy?

Wait, isn't too little carbs what makes you have low energy? Don't confuse me. Are you trying to trick me?

Anyway, it sounds like you had a really nice day. Lucky you that you had nice, sunny weather.

I'm playing Animal Crossing : Wild World on my Nintendo DS Lite. I LOVE IT http://bestsmileys.com/love1/7.gif

It's not really a "game" game, it's more of a.....hmm.....it's hard to explain. But it is totally addicting. I have played it every single day since getting it in December. Or was it November?

Oogi is the name I gave my character. Why did I name her Oogi?

The Evolution of the name Oogi

1. Okay!
2. Okie Dokie!
3. Ogie Dogie!
4. Oogie Doogie!
5. Oogi!

She lives in a little village (the other Haters are cringing at this point because I've explained this so many times heh heh) and interacts with the other animal characters that move in and move out. She catches fish and bugs and sells them and blah blah happiness blah! It's so peaceful and cute and creative and no time pressure and......I love it.

Did anyone else experience Deja Vu? http://bestsmileys.com/love1/20.gif

Another cool thing about it is that it can be used with Wi-Fi. In other words, if you ever got a Nintendo DS Lite and got yourself your own Animal Crossing : Wild World, we could exchange Wi-Fi numbers and our characters could visit each other's villages!!

Very cool!! http://bestsmileys.com/icecream/1.gif

(hint hint)

Whenever you're ready to take the plunge, just tell me.

>Naps are soo lovely, such fond memories….

LMAO! Wow, those naps of the past sound fantastic.

>Cue insane laughter.

OMG. I CANNOT wait to hear this story. OMG!

>Hope everything came out okay. LOL (the pee that is)

LMAO!

Okay. NOW I need to work. No, not on a nap. http://bestsmileys.com/drooling/4.gif
 
I only have time to quickly send a hug to Heather and a prayer to thank the Lord for her friend's life. Heather, you know where your friend is now, and who is wiping away her tears. Hugs to you and all your church members.

I have to get to work, but will check in later. Today's plan is work, errands, 30 min run, dinner, chores, check in here. Later.
 
HEATHER!!!!

BITE YOUR TONGUE!!!!

I have 2 grown children, one is married with her own family (son and step son) and a teenaged daughter in high school !!!!


I have no time to chat, but had to yell at you first!!!

bbl later to chat and yell at Heather more if she so much as suggests that again!!!:eek: :eek:
 
Morning haters- Heather-I am so sorry about your friend, I don't know what else to say-I will send warm thoughts to her family and to you-

August-I like hearing about Oogi-I want to meet her-my little daughters b-day is coming up and alas she did not write down Animal Crossing for a gift-I can't seem to talk her into it-

michele-did I miss something? we are to call the RT the mmm,mmmm (did I get that right?)-why? did you say you are going?I love these pics you guys come up with-I don't know how to do that yet, and I'm not sure I could figure it out-which brings me to the next topic-

I have my substitute teaching orientation today-I'm terrified-now without making myself sound really stupid-oh forget it I am stupid-my 5th grader needed help with some math and I'm not kidding-I got it wrong-I'm not even going to tell you what the problem was-but here I am looking for these business jobs-clericla/office/sub teaching (where I actually may have to know something) and I can't handle a simple math problem??- A little voice keeps telling me "you're an artist-do something with that" -I drew all my life before stopping at age 18 and went to college for a business adm. degree and majored in management) how the heck did I get through college and I can't do math?? so anyways I would love to have a job where I did someone's research on the internet (people with little time) or someone's gal friday-run their errands for them, until I can go back to school and get trained in graphic arts--oh what to do?? sorry to be so self involved today-

Corrie-I like all sorts of music too-and I love to dance- I've told my hubby that when I pass he is to play that song "I hope you dance" cuz that is soo me-and I WANT everybody dancing (in my circle thats what I'm known for is the dancing that I do-watch out Paula Abdul-move over-LOL-and the nappy story you told-thats my vision of part of a perfect day-you described it so well-I want that now-doesn't help that it's raining here now-

so who's going on the mmmm,mmmm? (RT)-I can't -boo hoo--

hi to everyone else today-more later--deb
 
Deb, don't think you're such a hottie for getting through college without learning math. I did it with ease, too. :D

And who the heck needs to do math these days anyway? That's what calculators and computers are for. Sheesh, a Japanese person asked me where a particular State was (um, don't remember which one http://bestsmileys.com/mouthzippedshut/2.gif ) and I told them I have no idea. http://bestsmileys.com/paranoid/4.gif

Okay, so that wasn't about math, but you get the idea.

I'm in music and I can't write sheet music. Nobody cares. But more than the math and the clerical/office/sub combination.........

If you have a passion for something, why search to do anything else?

>I would love to have a job where I did someone's research on the internet (people with little time) or someone's gal friday-run their errands for them

Are those kinds of works available? Have you looked?

Now tell me who sings this "I Hope You Dance" song.

I'm so bummed about your DD not putting Animal Crossing on her list of Wants. What kind of plot could we come up with to convince her otherwise? Time is short! :*




ETA : I went on and on and rudely didn't think to wish you good luck on your orientation. I'll bet you end up having a fabulous time and enjoy yourself!

Hi Michele, Robin, & Becky!
 
Hola Senoritas-August thanks for making me feel better about my mathematical abilities or lack thereof-my husband made me feel better about it too-he said that I havn't been doing it for a long time and once I get back at it-it will come back-poor guy-he's gotta tell himself that or hit himself over the head with the reality that he married a dunce cap-I know I sound hard on myself but I love making jokes at the expense of myself-HA!

as for "I hope you Dance"- I think it's Leann Womack-a country singer-

I am sitting here eating my steel cut oats that I made last night-they are pretty good-

hey Arista-is it you thats doing or soon stopping the LA weight loss thing?-I don't know much but I lost half of the last 10 pds I wanted to lose in the last month-I had just got done with a 3 month GS rotation and was burned out and had built good muscle (wanted more definition) and I thought I should finally try eating clean (without exercising-cuz It was too hard to concentrate on both at the same time, although I think I could handle it now)-and I've stayed at my new weight now for a week (and I've been eating crappy cuz my b-day was last week (did I just mention that again?)-LOL-I'm just a regular person who's finally figured out that cathe and all the gals on these boards are right about the clean eating-ALWAYS eat when your hungry-just make it healthy and wait 10 min. and if you still want the chips or chocolate then have it but just a couple of bites-now that I know how I should eat it's going to be easier to add the exercise back in--whew-I'm stepping off my soapbox now-my plan to lose the last 5 pds is to stay with the eating clean but add another little meal to the day and possibly add in another workout in the day to shake things up or try a new type of exercise--good luck!

--deb
 
Hey hey hey!!

Good morning everyone!

I finally got some much needed sleep last night http://www.smileyhut.com/happy/cloud9.gif . It's amazing how a little sleep can brighten your entire outlook!

Heather, how are you this morning? I'm sure the shock has yet to wear off. How's your poor toe? Has...dare I ask?...has Aunt Flo come yet?

Arista, I was secretly happy when you ate ice cream. It's nice to see someone throwing caution to the wind around here, for crying out loud. http://www.smileyhut.com/eat_drink/icecream.gif

I couldn't agree more that your diet is spartan! When you posted your allowances the other day the first thought that crossed my mind was that it's not enough food to sustain activity. There's no reason why you couldn't double up on your vegetables, and a little more fruit wouldn't hurt, either. I'm not a "bar" person, so I could never make do with 2 servings of real protein with a couple of bars to make up the difference. I'd definitely get my money back and go with something that seems more reasonable. I've always liked the SBD plan -- it's real food and does a good job of showing you how to construct a healthy meal, and it's easy to modify to suit your tastes.

Don't worry about being egocentric. We all need someone to listen once in awhile.;)

August, what kind of writing does your brother do? Is he a journalist or novelist? Has he found a CC workout yet?

I don't think my sleeplessness is linked to a viral illness, I just think my DH snores too muchx(

Corrie, I got a big kick out of your post last night:D

>>I had a hard time getting to my w/o for some reason

That's me EVERYDAY! :eek:

>>Strangely, my energy levels went way up after I ate lunch

There isn't anything strange about that! Carbs provide energy. What's hard is avoiding the bad carbs http://www.smileyhut.com/eat_drink/snack.gif . You need whole grains, fruits, and vegetables -- all carbs!

>>I am pretty scared of the Rotations forum myself. For a while I wouldn't even look in there because the vibes were so bad.

I think I know exactly what you're talking about, That was a most unfortunate thread and it really made me...well...angry and sick. We won't tolerate rudeness her in Hateville. We are all sweetness and light in here! Just ask Oogi:7

August, I love your evolution of Oogi's name -- lol! Oh boy, I had about 100 names for my doggies and kitties.

I need to skedaddle here for a bit. I've got some things I need to do and it's taking me forever and a day to type this up (I'm so poky;)). So, I'm just going to say a generic hello to everyone else for now and I'll catch up with you later :* :*

ETA Deb, I suck at math:eek: :7 , and I have complete faith in your abilities as a substitute teacher. I can't wait to hear about your orientation!
 
Hey haters

The PMS monster has me firmly in its grasp so I'm full of hate today and I'm going to sulk in a corner and growl at anyone who comes near me.
 
August - just popping in to say hello and sorry about your news. I too suffer from depression and have thought about taking my own life many times. I feel for you and her! I'm so sorry. Take care and please get that credit card so you can join us back at the Yoga thread. I still miss you!
 
DEB - Oh, that's sweet of your DH. And actually, so true. I'm sure once you get back on the math bicycle you'll be doing wheelies in no time.

Although I'd still love for you to be able to pursue your passion, too.

Thanks for the artist's name! I'm going to check it out.

MICHELE - I was laughing out loud at your cute smilies. I especially loved that one where he's tossing junk food into his mouth and then slurping down some soda! Check out how he takes a slurp and then pauses to get a little more. OMG, that is too funny.

But wait! SLEEP! You found SLEEP! I'm so happy to hear that.

>Arista, I was secretly happy when you ate ice cream.

LOL! Yeah, that food plan was really scarce on...food. I hope they won't give Arista a hard time trying to get out of it.

My brother's specialty is in films, and writes a few different things, including his own newspaper column, writing text book dialogues and scripts, and also writing for educational television. He's waaay busy all the time (I guess that's a good thing....) so I'm really, really pleased that he's come to a point where he's serious about getting back into exercising and balancing his lifestyle with things that are healthy and good for him. We were going to meet up for lunch yesterday, but since Mom was sniffling, we postponed, so I'm not sure what he decided about CC. He's been doing research on getting a treadmill. I'm so envious!

Where's my measure tape. Can I really not fit a treadmill in my apartment? http://bestsmileys.com/anxious/1.gif

>Just ask Oogi

Oogi doogie! Doogie boogie oogi! Woogi!

SHELLEY - I hope you have some good snack foods at hand. I sure hope Aunt Flo comes for you and Heather soon. She is out of control.

LORA - Hey, you! It's so sweet of you to drop by to send well wishes. As Shelley wrote, it was not I, but rather, Heather who lost her friend, so I'll pass on your nice condolences to her.

Yeah, my credit card. I tried a couple times after all that trouble (for those of you new to the credit card story - the trouble is that I don't have one and nobody will give me one, dangit, LOL). Well, maybe I'll try again once things calm down again over here.

Anyway, say hi to everyone over in Yogaland!
 
Just saying hey really quick b/c I've got to get back to work. I'm actually pretty busy so no time to play!

Heather I am so, so sorry about your dear friend. I will keep her family in my prayers.

Arista - good riddance to LA Weight Loss. HA!

I didn't get in a workout last night. I was too chilly to take Gannon out for a walk so while Gabe was in his class I went to Wal-Mart and got them their Easter candy. And some wrinkle cream for me - I'm getting wrinkles! It was 9:00 til I get them settled and ready for bed.

Probably no workout tonight either since DH won't be home. I did walk 2 miles at lunch so at least I did something.

I will try to check in tonight at home.

Have a great day ladies!

Shelley, this is for you baby .. . ..BAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! (sorry Corrie still luv ya)
