I Hate Love Hate Love, Let's Call the Whole Thing Off - Sept 29

August

August

Cathlete
Morning, all!

Diane - Yeah, that sounds about right - twice the price in Japan. In general things are half the size and twice the price. Isn't that lovely? x(

Michele - Heh, chicken broth news travels to me slowly LOL. But come to think of it, I guess though that that would be considered processed :-( ? Hmm. And I can't see me plunking a whole chicken in my tiny barley pot to make some myself. But I do want to try it out... Okay, now onto shoes! I like the 2nd Mephisto M ones (black with a slight heel). The ones I like next is the one that looks similar - the 4th listed, Stonefly (black with a slight heel). I also like the 5th one for evening. I don't think they're too clunky. I think those three have style in them and don't just look like a hiking shoe, which I think will be good for the fashionable streets of Italy! Hey, I wear mules, so I like chunk. Chunk and goop. That's what I'm all about............WOW! Speaking of chunky, you placed a chunky order, girl LOL, good for you!

Janjan - You workaholic wonderwoman! How you doin?

Dana! Katiepoo!


Well you guys, all this wacky sleep seems to have produced a slight cold :-( . It's been wacky weather, too, so I guess I can't blame it all on the sleep. So today I'm taking it easy. And only trying out the step portion of LIS :+ , LOL. Oh, and you can just imagine my horror to find that it's still September tomorrow - meaning that I still had one more Jari left in my rotation! I whooped for nothin' x( ! Hey, I know, maybe I'll do a light Basic Step today and LIS in its entirety tomorrow. But if my sore throat is gone by tomorrow, I'll try MM so I can make a report for you, Janjan. Lemme see!
 
Good mor...er...evening August!

I LOVE the title of today's thread. I think this is our challenge--to be very creative with our thread title everyday. We gotta keep 'em guessin!

Are we on the same wavelength or what? I ordered the shoes you liked--lol! I also ordered a couple of the pairs Diane posted yesterday. I would like to keep 2 pairs but we'll see. I hope they fit.

I'm beginning to get a clearer picture of your primitive kitchen set up. You need a big ole pot! A girl's gotta be able to make soup! And really, you don't need an entire chicken to make broth for just yourself. You can probably get by with a couple of pieces. At the prices you have to pay for a can of broth it might be a good idea to learn how to make it. Then again, there is your mom--lol!

Oh, sorry to hear about your cold. Yet another reason to make chicken soup. Do you see a pattern here? Oh yeah, I think it's a good idea to replace Jari with cardio...NOT! Frankly, I think you should borrow your mom's Oprah tape and lay on the couch. Drink plenty of liquids and rest. That's my Rx. Really though, I hope you're feeling better tomorrow.

I'm gonna hit the hay and I'll see you all in the morning.

But before I do, Janjan, I got your email and sent you one back. After reading your post from last night I was a little worried about you. Is everything all right?

Good night
:* :*
 
August, I hope you get some good advice on your rotation. It looks good to me but I'm not a reliable source;) :eek:
 
Hiya, Michele,

I literally laughed out loud when I read your comment about how you think I should lay on the couch and watch some Oprah.

Wow, same wave length! Fun! Well, I must say we have good taste in shoes. I can't wait to hear how they fit.

So if you put some pieces of chicken in a pot and let it boil (did you say with onions and other veggies?)...then what do you do with the boiled chicken? Chicken sandwiches, maybe? Is it a ....gross cleanup ;) ? I'm going to take a quick look on the internet to see about homemade chicken broth.

Heh, primitive. Yeah, that's about right.

Mom went out and got me some lozenges so I'll be safe tonight, unlike last night when I was having some probs swallowing down my spit. x(

And I finished my light workout. I did Basic Step. And then I did the cardio only of Body Fusion and rounded out my workout to an hour :) . I know, I know, I need to be taking it easy, but the slow trickle of sweat made me feel like I was squeezing those bad bacteria bugs out of my body. }(

Ahhhh! Feels good. :7

Okay. Now to work I go.

Have a good sleep everyone!
 
Good morning everyone!

I am once again up with the birds, starting to become the "norm" around here! Soooooo earllllyyyyyyyyy!!!!

August, colds suck! I had one 2 weeks ago and uh, it was not fun. I hope you are working to get rid of that nasty thing and you get to feeling better real soon! {{{big hug}}}}!! =)
You are correct on the home made chicken broth, take chicken, veggies and let it boil for about 45 mins and once you drian the stuff it's chicken broth. I do use the chicken for chicken salad sammy's are something like that. Dumb question, but do they have chicken stock over there??

Michele-I will tell you, being from Texas (Diane will agree) if we did not spend you something back, it's like against the Texas religion. I am going to email Diane and I think we will put our heads together and come up with something from the both of us. I am telling you, us Texans are some of the most kind and polite people....ohhhh...I think I know what I can send you.......hheheheeee!!!!!}( }( }(
What shoes did you order?? I know you said above, but uh, I am have been swamped lately. Oh, and yes I am ok. I just am sick and tired of trying to do nice things for people and then it back fires in my face. If I get a second at work today I will write the story down, it's just a long story.

Diane-I am going to email you when I get to work today, so I will talk with you about 9 or 9:30 ok! :)

Dana and Kate! Helloooooo out there!!!

I have got to fly and get ready for work.

BBL!

Hiya, Janjan,

Thanks for the giant hug! Thanks to it, I feel better already!

My cold is still under control...I've got muck mouth today but my throat is a bit better. I'm just hoping it doesn't get out of proportion over the next few days.

Thankfully I still have a big appetite. x(

:D

Here's an appropriate response to your "dumb" question on chicken broth in Japan : I am totally clueless. :+ I've never even thought to look for it so I have absolutely no idea. I did find it on Yahoo Japan, but it was sold out. Some smarty-pants bought out the stock :* ! I'm going to look into it a bit.

Anyway, watched a little bit of Oprah with Mom tonight, per Michele's request, and now I'm back at my place getting ready to do a little more work and then get ready for beddie bye.

Okay, off to wash my face now.
 
P.S. Here I am worried about a messy chicken clean up - my friend sent me fresh fish today. I was actually in the kitchen chopping heads off if you can believe it.
 
Hi Ladies - Lots of activity this morning, I like it.

August - Sorry you are getting a cold, I hope you feel better soon. You need some chicken soup (not broth this time), some orange juice and some sleep.

Jana - I agree we need to put our heads together and think of something good.

Michele - I got my Zappos boot yesterday. They are cute and fit well and seem like they will be comfortable, BUT... they have the pretty big black smudge on one of them, with fingerprints! Like someone's grubby hands touched them. I can't decide whether to buy some leather cleaner or send it back and get new ones.

So I am planning on going back on the 5FF plan, but didn't have lots of time today because woke up late and just walked for 20 min.

However, I hopefully won't be losing any weight any time soon because...we found out yesterday we are pregnant! I know it is really early and most people wait to tell people, but I am just so excited and need to tell someone! I have 3 tests confirming, but it still seems unreal. We are telling our parents and siblings after I have an appointment when a doctor to confirm and everything. Then waiting until first trimester to tell rest of the family and friends. I am telling some of my best friends today though. So excited!
 
HOLY CRAP! HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!

:7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7

CONGRATULATIONS, DIANE! WOWOWOWOWOWOOWOW!!OOOOO!!WOOO!!

I wish there was some way we could do a "cheers" to you and your DH! Oh WOW!!

CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's wonderful news to hear. (The grimey fingerprints on the new boots on the other hand, sucks to high heaven.) Oh, and hey, don't snuff at 20 minutes. That's awesome.

WOWOWOW!!!!!

I'm so happy you!!!! The kitties are getting another playmate, too!! :D
 
Diane!!!!! YEEHAW!!!!!!!:) :eek: :) :eek: :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Congratulations!!! Oh, I feel so honored that you told us first:+

I'm sooooo happy for you!! Please extend my congratulations to your DH, too. How can you even contain yourself!?

Oh yeah, send the boots back for sure.

August, I make my DH do all the fish head wacking around here. I actually have an aversion to fish and seafood. I won't even touch it which is unfortunate for my DH because he LOVES seafood and especially sushi and sashimi(sp?). --Back to chicken broth, yes, by all, means use the chicken meat for salads or sandwiches, or chicken soup. --I', glad you followed my advice about Oprah. Here's anothe {{{{{HUG}}}}}, now get some rest ;) :*

Janjan and Diane, really, you don't need to send me anything but it's so sweet of you to want to. On the other hand, I LOVE presents--lol!

Dana, and Kate, I'm missing you.

I never got to my workout yesterday so I have to do it today. Sunday was supposed to be a rest day but now I'll have to use it as a make up day. I need to get rockin and rollin here. I have to run to teh worhtless local mall again because I heard they got in a new shipment of clothes yesterday. I still need some slacks and jeans. I'll check back later, though.

Diane--:)
 
Hi Ladies - Thank you so much for the congrats. I wish I could just tell everyone, it is hard to keep it from my family for now. I just talked to my BF on the way to work and told her, and she was so excited. We are visiting her in Florida when we go to Miami on vacation and she has a 6 month old baby. It will be fun (or scary) to spend the night in a house with a baby. I'm sure DH will be a little overwhelmed.

I really don't know how I am going to get any work done today. It is crazy. It doesn't really feel real yet. I am off now to make a doctors appt.
 
I'm still so excited for you Diane! But when I read your post I read "BF" as "boyfriend" and was really surprised for a split second LOL.

Michele - Aw, thanks for the hug! Oh yeah, I remember you saying something about having a problem with seafood. I could eat seafood every friggen day, cooked or raw. Well, if you and your DH ever come to Japan, I'll make sure he gets some great sushi and sashimi! (And something else for you, of course. :D )

Heck, if any of you guys ever come to Japan, you better tell me.

Anyway, good luck at the worthless mall LMAO.

Diane - How could you possibly do anything else! I mean, how can you not be thinking about it all the time?! Woo hoo!

Janjan - Hi again!

Kate and Dana..............come here the great news!!

Okay. I'm going to sleep. I'm going to sleep. And I'm going to sleep through the night . Period. :*
 
I just got an appt for next Wednesday. They usually wait 6-8 weeks (I am only 4 weeks now) so you can hear the heartbeat, but then that is during our vacation and the next available appointment is not until the 30th of October, which is way too long to wait. But at least we will get confirmation and everything next week.
 
August - Haha, no BF means best friend. I need to call some of the other BFs (no not other boyfriends) today, I am so excited! I am only telling the people that I would want there to support me in case something bad happens.
 
Good night, August!!:*

I just looked at my post ^^^ there and I'm horrified by all teh spelling errors:eek: . It's just so sloppy. Sorry;( .

Diane, I can't say enough how happy I am for you. I'm gonna love posting with you now. Your excitement is always so infectious.

I need to skedaddle. I can't get over how fast time flies by. I got stuck on the phone AGAIN this morning, and now the day is half over and I've accomplished nothing!!x(
 
So I definitely need to eat my 5FF snacks now, I have been bad at eating my morning snack sometimes because I am not hungry. I know I supposed to add 300 calories a day, so I guess I may just add a couple more snacks (my snacks are usually a 70 cal yogurt and a apple, so not too many calories). Maybe 2 afternoon snacks instead of one (when I get the most hungry) and one nightime snack. I think the 5FF eating plan is healthy and basically the same guidelines from the pregnancy books, so I will just stick to what I am currently eating, since it is pretty healthy.
 
YEAH DIANE!!!!! :) :) :) I am so happy for you and your DH. You are going to make great parents! Wishing you a wonderful pregnancy.

Michele, I haven't checked out any of your shoe links. I think I am one of the few people who still have dial up so it would take forever for those links to load. Since I live in Amish Country USA, I have no other options except for dial up.

Jana, how's the job? I"ll have to read up from yesterday's post so I don't repeat myself.

Hi Kate and Crazy-A!!!!!

I am going insane here. I volunteered to have my BF's (not Boyfriend's LOL) daugther spend the night, she is 10. So I've got a house of 3 wild things. She stayed over last night so she is leaving in about an hour. I took them for breakfast this morning. $23 for the 3 of us to eat - sorry but that is too darn pricey for me for breakfast!

OK, I'm going to try to catch up from yesterday and all, have a great day ladies!
 
OK, I read yesterday's post and I'm all caught up.

Kate is still MIA.
August is still in search of chicken broth.
Jana is too busy.
And Diane and Michele have serious shoe fetishes! :)
 
Thanks Dana.

I cannot concentrate at work today! I am not sure how I am supposed to finish my project today. I have something due Monday that I should be able to finish today and don't want to work over the weekend, but I just can't concentrate.
