Hi there, I'm home and I had no idea it's Easter. Wow.
My trip went well. But as always, I had weird sleep hours so now it's 1:10am and I'm wide awake.
All the better to read the Hate thread, my pretties!
On my trip I had just about the best workout motivation I could get - I met up again with a woman I'd seen last time I was in this particular town, and she kindly told me that she felt so inspired seeing my muscles during my last trip that she herself had started working out. She then grilled me about my current workout schedule.

Which brings me to my next paragraph.
I made a new workout rotation for myself.
http://www.smileyhut.com/excited/clap.gif It's one that is going to be the minimum to maintain the muscle I've built over the last two years LOL. I mean really, I can't disappoint this woman, now can I? LOL.
I feel better. I'll do the minimum while I'm finishing up the big project so that I won't be completely jelly by the time I'm ready to go back to my regular programming.
MARIAH - Did you have a peaceful Friday?
>No I didnt do workout yet, i come home and read the thread first LOL
LMAO! I so know what you mean.
>Ladies I dont like to go against my religious and spiritual beliefs but im gonna perform an exorcism this weekend........... Im gonna take all the evil out of them
Oh, Mariah, you're so sweet and silly! I have to give you one of these

BECKY - Your smoothie sounded delicious!
>Nowadays, it seems every time I go , I hear I have some problem...need a root canal, a crown or something!
LOL! The dentist is smart. Nowadays he's pumping you and not your folks for his expenses!
Congrats that your closet is almost done!
MICHELE - How awful about your dentist appointment, and that's terrible that you're stuck with a bad crown for three weeks!! Why on earth are they making you wait that long to correct their mistake?!
You DH and the flowers.
http://www.smileyhut.com/misc_expressions/cry2.gif What a sweetie.
>I hope I acknowledged all of my friends in Hatesville by name -- you know -- something like "I'd like to thank all the little people..." -- LMAO!!
LMAO!
I've read that one of the only things you can't do in a dream is....read! Isn't that interesting? Your brain gets all nutso creating dream images and overloads trying to keep the sentences straight, so dream sentences are ever-changing! So all I remember seeing that was on the back of the DVD was lots of words, and HATESVILLE all in caps LOL.
So what's on the menu for your Easter meal? Those lucky family members of yours! I'll bet whatever you make is scrumptious.
>Whad'ya have for breakfast?
I always have half an apple and half of another piece of fruit (grapefruit, mango, orange, a kiwi, a bunch of strawberries) that I chop up, then sprinkle with cinnamon and put it in a bowl of plain yogurt and cottage cheese. I love it!
DEB - Your dentist story totally pissed me off and now I'm ready to go and kick that helicopter man's butt. I had a really bad dentist experience that I'll spare you the details about, but it gives me the right to be angry at any dentist who gives anyone a hard time.
http://www.smileyhut.com/misc_expressions/grrr.gif You know, I'm going to swing by and get Michele's dentist, too. And Mariah's eye doctor.
Anyone else who need their dentist's butts kicked, tell me, though as you know, I've not been working out regularly in the last few weeks, so my beating will probably be quite meager.
>so does anyone have an opinion on whether I should buy-Jari Love-Ripped to the Core or Amy Bento All pump extreme or a good yoga dvd-I've never done yoga--
I wish I could help you there, but I don't know about Amy Bento, and like Michele, I only have a few yoga videos. What kind of workout are you in the mood to get? Those three sound pretty different.
Glad to hear P90X is going well!
ROBIN -
http://www.smileyhut.com/friends/group.gif We've sure missed you. I think the wacky weather is doing us all in. It's making us all cranky and on the verge of sickness, and making us feel blah. We need the springtime sun to come out and make us all feel sexy and stuff.
How has the rest of your decorating and whatnot been going? Can you see the finishing line?
But more than that, what kind of cake did you bake?

I wanted to tell you that I thought your post to Shelley was really moving.
>We had lemon-garlic angel hair pasta with our scallops tonight.
Did you do that with shrimp last time? Because I know it caught my attention then as it did now. Did you ever post this recipe? Is it basic? Can I make it if I only have one pot and no soup stock?
>August, how's the big project going?
Thanks, all's good so far. I've been able to keep the sore throat from getting out of control. It'll be pretty much finished up by the end of May, with the bulk of it this month.
>See anything you want to help me with yet?
Yes, in fact, I did. I would like to help with this part :
>My DH is taking me out to breakfast

TAMMY -
>DS#1 is in love this week, so you may have to wait a few weeks for him.
LMAO LMAO! A few weeks! Bahaa!
Just give me the word and I'll send my dating resume.

>Hey, didn't you used to post on the yoga check-in? I did check in there for a wee bit.
Yoga check-in? What yoga check-in?
http://bestsmileys.com/paranoid/3.gif
Heheh. Yes, yes, that was me. You were there, too? Now that you mention it, I think it's coming back to me! I wish I could have continued with that, but I had a problem when I ordered a bunch of yoga DVDs (that I ultimately ended up not being able to buy) and it totally took the wind out of my yoga sail. Are you still doing yoga?
>Now I won't be bringing any cake on the roadtrip, but if it is available I'll definitely be eating it for breakfast
LMAO!
Tammy, may I ask why your mother is in the hospital? Is she all right?
JEN - Jen Fill-in-middle-name Fill-in-last-name. What are we gonna do with you, girl. I'm all for pushing yourself to get a killer workout, but not when you're sick.
http://bestsmileys.com/nono/6.gif Listen to your body and be good to it.
Ever since my throat has been weird, I've been using a face mask to keep my throat moist. I think it's really helped a lot. I've been wearing it at night and also during much of the day so that I look like a burglar. It's also been keeping half my face nice and toasty LOL. But the stretchy bands that go behind the ears are making my ears sore! Anyway, I hope you feel better soon. What with your busy work and stress, it must be hard to keep a cold at bay.
Woo hoo for banana milkshake!
http://www.smileyhut.com/eat_drink/beak.gif
All right. Maybe I'll attempt to sleep again.
