~~~ MELTERS!..it's Thursday! ~~~

Shelley - Michele has already advised me - in detail! - of all the benefits an MP3 can provide. :7 I just can't stand the thought of being wired up, or having something stuck in my ear. It reminds me of the Borg. And the Borg remind me of zombies. You know the drill. :p

Kara - that was the most concise post I've ever seen - LOL! You covered everyone in record time! Have a safe trip!
 
I'm back! All done with CC - 2? I think, followed by Core Max segment 1. The funeral was nice, in that the family is very nice. Salt of the earth type who want you to feel like one of them. A good reflection on their mother, the one who died.

Shannon, Tristan will be home until Sunday. His birthday was last week, so I'm making him a special dinner tonight. I was going to make a cake, but since it will just be DH, Tris and I, we decided to hold off on that till an evening when Emily and Jay are here.

Allison, your smilies are so cute, but I have a hard time reading your post! Everytime I start a sentence, my eyes get drawn to another moving smilie. I don't have a very long attention span. You sound so happy about the new man in your life. I love to hear you sound so happy.

Tneah, I'm sorry to hear your back is still out of sorts. Be careful with your workouts! Please!

BreckGirl, oh, I'm so relieved about your boobage. It may also be since it was your first one (you did it say it was your first, right?) so they didn't have any past ones to compare it with. Isn't it great to be able to get an answer right away?

Leanne, have fun visiting with the baby and new parents. I assume BIL isn't going? }(

Shelley, I think the Finger Lakes are probably about an hour or two from Rho-cha-cha. Depends on which lake, and which end you go to! Are you thinking about a Finger Lake GTG?

Kara, have as great a time as possible. Shannon was right about your post summing everything up nicely.

Uh oh, I just heard a rumble of thunder. I'm going to have to say goodbye for now and turn off the computer. Later all.
 
I'm done with my workout too! I did itread #4-40 minutes, plus it takes 10 minutes to walk to the gym, and 10 minutes back, so thats like an hour of cardio right?;) Then I did a high rep chest, tri's and biceps workout-only two exercises for each bodypart, then abs. Whew. I will rethink my workouts over the weekend...I stretched the old back and its feeling better...

Robin, I love "salt of the earth" types of folks, as I like to think that is the way I am...:) So is there wedding bells in the future? Sounds like your DD has a good man.And a very happy birthday to Tristan!

Kara, you will be missed, and I totally agree with Shannon, I have never read such a good "wrap-up" of us all! Very impressive!:) Be safe.

Shannon, earth shoes? I am from Seattle, the capitol of the Birkenstock, so I am very familiar with earth type shoes.They are comfy, and it makes sense that they might work on the elliptical, its weird, the balls of my feet get all jacked up for some reason, probably callouses forming or something like that. Lovely.

Shelley, I do not stay asleep either. I fall asleep easily but wake up every three hours, thankfully I go right back to sleep though. Sorry bout your back too...its probably all that tearing around you do, coupled with those hard arse runs girl!Does Chris give good massages? That might help, my DH does not! He is horrid at it actually, he rubs really hard for two seconds and thats it. Uh, don't take that the wrong way okay? }( Oh my gutter mind, I swear...

Off to the showers and then out to go find a bike. Yep, I am getting a little kick around bike to ride this summer. Figured I would use it alot, just riding up to the store, to the gym, etc...
 
Tneah - oooh, I'm excited about your bike! Your workout sounds great. And yes, Chris gives the best massages ever. In fact, I've only been for a professional massage once and all I could think when I left was "geez, I like Chris's massages better".;-)

Robin - I Googled Finger Lakes. Looks beautiful!
 
Hi everyone. Busy busy day but I wanted to pop in and say "hi". I've read everything above and sounds like a lot of good stuff going on.

Our patio and paths are done! Yay! So now we have to do some yard repair after all that traffic. I also still have some cleaning and party prep to do--don't you hate it when you clean and clean and look around and think, "how does it still look so dirty?" Or does that just happen to me? Well, it's all cluttered now because I brought party stuff up from the basement and we went and got a ton of groceries today. What didn't have to go in the fridge is all over the place.

OK, gotta get back to work. I think it will be a fab party, except we don't have any patio furniture for our patio. :( Next year.

Hi Lainie. Make sure everyone brings their own lawn chair. Problem solved.

Shelley, it is beautiful. If I ever had a second home, I'd like it be on Kekua Lake, about a mile away from Dr Frank's.

Willie and Fred and I could become great friends. I could get a part time job in the tasting room. Heh, heh, yeah, that's not a good idea.

Tneah, I'm with you and Shelley in the sleep department. Since I've gone through menopause, it's a good night if I wake up less than 4 times. Have fun bike shopping. I'm in the mood to go shopping, but don't really need anything. Maybe we can take Tristan out to get some new summer clothes. He's shrunk out of all of his and we didn't have time when we visited him.

Time to go make the cucumber sauce I'm serving with grilled salmon tonight. Along with wild rice and either asparagus or fresh peas. I'm not sure which of the fresh veggies DH bought at market I should prepare tonight. Guess I'll wait and see what Tris wants. Oh, and Klondike Slim-a-Bear 100 calorie ice cream bars for dessert. They are oh so yummy!
 
Hi everyone - It is now 3 p.m., and I still have not worked out. I am so tired I could fall asleep any second. Must be cause I slept in this morning and now I don't have any energy. I need to get motivated. I am supposed to pyramid lower body. That might kill me. I am missing hubby, he went canoeing (sp), but will be home late tonight. For the 4th we are going out with our neighbor on his boat to head down river and watch the fireworks display over in Fort Pierre (right across the river). They do a really good job.

I hope everyone is having a great day.

BG - yay for good boobs.

Allison - Boytoy sounds very exciting. http://planetsmilies.net/obscene-smiley-1033.gif

Tneah - Hope your back feels better soon.

Sorry not more personal, but really need to go work out or might really fall asleep -- seriously.
Lanie- do you know how I can post the smileys without the website info from planet smiles. I posted the flasher and it posted the website right beside it. Maybe I will try on this one and see what happens.http://planetsmilies.net/tired-sleeping-smiley-4634.gif

Okay, it worked this time.
 
I'm back!

Did ya miss me? ;)

No time for fancy smileys. I gotta work out. I've missed two days so far this week so I'm doubling up today. The Boy and I are going out tonight after his baseball game. He's so freakin' cute I can barely stand it. I love boys. :D hehe OMG, I totally sound like a 12 year old girl....

So I got out of work early. YAY! But I just got home. :( Boo. My brother's girlfriend is my sister's Nanny. She watches all four of my nieces during the day (only during the summer). Her Grandmother is minutes away from dying today :( so as soon as I got out of work she called and asked me to come stay with the kids so she could go see her Grandmother. No problem, right? Wrong. It took me an hour to get there with the nasty traffic and then all four of my nieces decided to be wretched brats this afternoon and throw temper tantrum after temper tantrum. x( They're 6, 5, 3, and 22 months. I'm exhausted now. Great birth control though. ;)

So I can't believe I have a social life again! This is so awesome! Massive drama is still occurring with my family but whatever. I'm so tired of it. I have decided to just try and focus on me right now. Plus, tonight I don't have class! YAY! This is the first Thursday I've had off since February. It's so nice!

Kara--nice to see you! Come back soon!

Robin--your dinner sounds so scrumptious. I'll be over in half an hour ;)

Shelley--my sister's on her way back from Canada right now. The whole time she was there I was thinking of you. Dang, I'd LOVE to visit Canada. I've never been there. Although I did get lost trying to drive to New Hampshire a couple years ago and ended up at the Canadian border. Don't even ask. Tell Chris I'll be visiting soon for a massage. ;)

Shannon--you and your Cardio Coach. You kill me! I still haven't done vol. 8 all the way through. I should do that this weekend. Tomorrow I'm going to try vol. 4 for the first time!

Lainie--yay for the patio being done! How exciting! I hope your party tomorrow goes smashingly. (Is that a word?)

Breckgirl--I'm so glad your mammo came back fine! Phew. What a relief. MMmmmmmmm....ice cream. :9

Peggie--I know how you feel being so tired. I never sleep much. Like Shelley I fall asleep literally the second I close my eyes but staying asleep is a whole 'nother issue. I wake up probably 30 times during the night. According to a sleep study I had done a year ago (where you stay over at a hospital and they hook you up to millions of wires and monitor your sleep) I never have a REM cycle. Yuck. *yawns*

Tneah--wow, nice workout, girlie! For some reason it feels weird that you're on the boat and not at home. I feel like things are out of sort. I'm crazy like that....:p Great idea to get a bike! You'll love it. My exSO has a 40 foot Viking and we spent almost the entire summer on it last year. We bought bikes and everything and it made getting around so much easier. I can't imagine staying on an 80 foot boat. Holy luxury.:)

Hmmmm...that's all I have for now. I spent way too much time on this post than I wanted to. But I wanted to show some love. Love you all and hope you have a wonderful, wonderful holiday (those of us in the States) and a fabulous weekend for all you crazy Canadians. :p :D

I may be back later but I'm not sure. Depends how long it takes me to get through this workout! haha

Peace out!

Allison

Hey All!:)

Allison, you work out so hard all the time, I wouldn't worry too much, besides you have youth on your side, you will not have to worry bout anything falling to the floor til you reach my age.:7 Your nieces sound lovely...:eek: no, really, I am sure they are, just not today right? You are so cute with your "out of sorts" self.;)

Peggy, if you are pooped don't worry bout it, tomorrow is hours away right? How much do we really get out of working out when we do it super tired anyway?:)

Robin, you my dear are such a wonderful chef, your meals always sound so incredible, and I love that you share all the "juicy" details with us...makes my mouth water..sounds like everyone's gonna have stinky pee tonight! (asparagus;) )

So I did not get a bike or even look, I had to run around and gather more stuff (food) for tomorrow. Want everything to be perfection of course which means something will go awry. Oh and I broke our steering wheel on the dingy boat today. Yes, the captain let me drive and right out of the dock, I twisted the steering wheel too hard to avoid hitting another boat and yep, something snapped, we rowed back to the dock.:p
I am strong German girl, watch out.:7

Hugs all around...
 
Hello Melters.

How are you all? From reading your posts, life is pretty exciting here.

My big weekend plan is kayaking the AuSable River near Oscoda/Lake Huron inward.

Last night, we had severe storms that were compared to a hurricane. Lots of power out, trees down, roads closed, etc...


Allie-High fives to you!! Enjoy tbe new man in your life.

Tneah-enjoy the boating weekend.
 
**rushes in**

Hey all - can you smell the baby on my hands as I type this??? Don't newborns smell so YUMMY???? Oooh, I got to cuddle and hold and whisper sweet things to him. He was born at 3:36, 8 pounds 10 oz and 20 inches long! Big dude. And did I mention he smells DIVINE????

Exhausted - had a pretty major day. Sorry for the lack of personals, but I've been thinking about you melty babes today! Hope all is well. Will do my homework tomorrow and catch back up.

If I figure out how to post a picture, I'll do it. (of the baby, not my boob) :7

**rushes out, blissfully**
 
Ahhhh....BG, yes I can smell his little head...sweet thing.:) I also love the smell of puppy breath...What?? No pics of your boobs? Ahhh,shoot.heehee.

Lainie bug, yeah for your new porch today!:) How are the teeth now? Better?

Just checkin' back in as I sit here with a glass of pinot and a bit of salmon over greens with some broccoli. Yes, I am occasionally enjoying my vino again...like I so wisely told Robin the other day.."Life is too short not to enjoy the good stuff". I am such a sage aren't I?

:p


Nighty night meltees!
