Shannon - you can't load it in the spot where it says "edit profile picture". You have to got down to settings and options and edit avatar there, and use "custom avatar".

Somehow I got stuck having to entertain clients today that are here from Belgium and now I have to go to dinner with them. UGH!! Yes, they're nice. Yes, it's a big deal for me to be included in on this. But I WANTED TO WORKOUT TONIGHT! And vacuum, and do homework, and see Jim, and clean my car, and pack for the RT, and....and....oh, nevermind. There's nothing I can do about it anyway, right?.
AHHHHHHHH!!! I'm so irritated!!!
AHHHHHHHH!!! I'm so irritated!!!

Everyone chill and all together now say "Semen!"...... Ha!
You all tickle me too much, Shannon, is that you and your mare? Awesome! I wish the avatars were larger though, so we could actually see everyone huh?
Gotta take Georgie to his new vet here in SD....Shelley, "jaunty!" Fabulous word love, and of course you can come visit me on our boat, god knows there will be room for you.
Kissy's to you all, bbl for more personals!

Well, folks. It’s been a day. I am WAY behind on here again. Prepare for a novel.
This morning we made our reservations for an inn up in the Catskills. It’s only a 2-hour drive from here and it’s in a little town on the edge of the park. Here’s the website: http://www.thehotelvienna.com/index.htm It doesn’t seem to have a fitness center, but It does have a pool (probably not big enough for good laps) and we will probably find a place to do some good walking/hiking. So that will be my exercise for the weekend. Today I did S&H Shoulders and a wimpy premix of Imax 3 (just the step combos without the blasts).
This morning I went to the dermatologist to have her check out my psoriasis. I don’t have to go back for light treatments, but she wants me spending just15 minutes a day in the sun on each side to help clear it up. She also gave me some samples of cream. Plus my blood test results came back (she was testing for strep in my blood because strep can be the cause of psoriasis). She said levels of 200 would be considered high, and I was more like 750. Yikes. So she gave me a prescription for penicillin.
After that, I had to go fill my prescription of course…so we went to Target. And did not get away cheap. I got some birthday gifts for the boys (Ewan’s is Sat. and Isaac’s is Aug. 4) as well as some other more practical items.
I got this sports bra and skort as well:
Now, I have no business wearing this out of the house, but it was fun to wear just working out in my living room.
I think I’ll post this and then come back for personals in a minute, since this is so dang long already.
SEMEN? Must go read through more carefully.

Semen, huh?! Oh, I love you ladies soooo much!! You're such a hoot!
OK, so is there any way to see the avatar photos at a larger size?? I want to see Shannon's photo better, but she is so tiny in her photo!
Lainie -- OMG! What an adorable outfit! So sorry to hear that your strep count was so high. I hope that the penicillin clears it right up! So is it just you and Brian this weekend? That hotel looks fabulous! Now you have an August b-day coming up, too, right? When is yours?
Shannon -- Hooray for getting your photo to work! To do the smilies, you have to change your text formatting to one of the fancier versions. I think Emily posted something the other day on the OD forum about how to do it.
Allie -- Go have fun tonight at dinner and don't worry about missing your workout. Cathe will keep you plenty busy this weekend!
Robin -- What workout did you decide to do? Hopefully something fun!
Peggie -- Is Tayler feeling any better? Hope so!
Tneah -- How was Georgie's new vet?
Breckie -- Where are you today, babe? We miiiiiissss you!

OK gals, to get the other smileys to post, you have to copy and paste the line under bbcode (for forums); just the URL won’t work on these forums. I’ll try it here to show you if it works. 
Deb, eek, I hate mice! I had some trouble with them in Europe in both our flats. I’d see them while nursing in the middle of the night. Ugh. I made the hubby trap them at first, but eventually I was trapping the little suckers myself (though I confess sometimes I’d just throw away the whole trap rather than fiddle with trying to get the mouse out. Terrible, I know. Deb, you can change how the posts look in the thread by going to User CP and Edit Options—look down to something called Thread Display Options (think that’s what it’s called). Oh, and I had to giggle when you referred to my “romantic trip”—it won’t exactly be that since the boys are going as well. It’s just a getaway for all of us. The boys will be on the other queen bed in the room, so any romance will have to be very…ahem…low-key….
Robin, the quick reply is just that—a quick and dirty reply. OK, maybe not dirty, though it probably is with this group. Clicking Go Advanced on the quick reply just takes you to a regular sort of reply—I guess in case you change your mind about doing a quickie.
Shelley!
Kristi, I love everyone’s avatars, too. Makes the place homier.
Allison, I think Shelley said something about this, but to make the checkins appear newest to oldest, I’ve just been doing this: at the top of the list of threads, I click Last Post. It will re-sort things by the last post (if it does it the wrong direction—like starting with oldest stuff, I just click again and it will sort the opposite and the newest will be at the top again). Does that make sense? Thanks for complimenting my workouts. I’m trying to get back into a better groove again. I felt pretty wimpy as I dragged myself through that little Imax 3 step combos only premix, though. I’m still pretty tired (like you). I wonder if having strep in my blood might be related to the fatigue?
Peggie, that’s funny; I prefer Firefox to Safari. Admin2 (is that Chris, formerly SNM, by the way, anyone know?) said they used Firefox in their tests or setup or something, so maybe that’s why it works better for you. Thanks for starting everyone on the SEMEN kick. This is the group to take off with that…. It reminds me of “PENIS PENIS PENIS!” When we were in college my roomie came back to our room one day and said she got to yell that in class. Her sociology prof asked why people teach their kids euphemisms for certain body parts, and my roomie said, so you’re 3-year old doesn’t run through the store yelling, “PENIS PENIS PENIS!” Of course, I teach my kids the correct terms anyway. After all, a 3-year old yelling “WEINER WEINER WEINER!” would be just as embarrassing.
Emily, for a minute I read your first line as “I thought I’d poop in” and I was wondering about that…. Way to go on doing Imax 3—it’s a toughie.
Tneah, here’s a smiley for ya. Let’s see if it works:
I haven’t gotten scolded for my smileys yet. Congrats on the larger boat (is it a congrats occasion?)
Kara, hope your day of remodeling errands goes well.
Leanne, LA LA LA LA LA--that’s me singing with my hands over my ears to ignore your mention of Loft sales—I don’t need any more clothes! Of course singing with my hands over my ears does not really help when I’m reading your post.
Shannon, glad to see you figured out the avatar. Hooray!
Allie, sorry your evening is messed up with work plans!
Anyone else have forum questions I may or may not be able to answer? Sometimes I think I should have studied computer science in college instead of English, since I love playing with the ‘puter so much.
(OK, this time I did get the too many images scolding.)

Just had to say it again. Tayler seems to be feeling better. She took a shower and got dressed anyway.
Lainie - that outfit is way cute. By the way my DH's birthday is August 4th too. Tayler's is the 21st.
I sent Lauren Brooks an e-mail about how much I liked her workout and she sent me back a little mini workout from the DVD. It is just written out instructions of a mini workout. I thought that was pretty cool.
I am seriously considering taking my kettlebell with me to Minneapolis when I am there for nine days for the RNC (Republican National Convention) for work. I was not very impressed with the workout room at the hotel where I am staying.

I went Lauren Brooks' website and clicked on the information for her new DVD and she posted my comments I e-mailed her about her DVD. How cool is that. By the way, I tried to post a naughty smiley face, but could not get it to work. So I will just say it --Semen.
I was trying to post the one getting a bj. Sorry, if anyone finds that offensive.
BBL Kittens.

Shannon, yay for your avatar!
Peggie, I'm glad to hear Tayler is better. I think taking your kettle bell is a great idea. Nine days is a long time to miss workouts. Does the hotel maybe have arrangements with a nearby gym for guests?
Lainie, that workout outfit is way cute. Thanks for all the computer tips. You should start charging a fee as a consultant.
Leanne, I ended up doing Low Max with the medicine ball during the blasts. I almost pooped out (Lainie) by the 4th segment, but I pushed through, and on 8 inches too. Giving blood yesterday is probably the cause for the difficulty. I don't know what I was thinking, with a workout with Cathe scheduled for Friday morning!
Tneah, I hope Georgie's appointment was just routine! Where do you plan on keeping your new boat moored? Will you have the same captain as you have now? Did you see Gayle's (banslug) post on the open discussion forum? I thought of you and your Mr Trainerman challenge to yourself when I read it.
Allie, sorry you have to wine and dine the company. I bet you have fun anyway!
So work was kind of exciting. A small lab in the area sent us a bug that they couldn't identify. We aren't sure what it is either, but it acts a lot like a scary bug that has been linked to bioterrorism. Luckily, my supervisor, who is a genius, recognized the possibility and she called the state lab. They will identify the bug and sent a special courier to pick it up, since you can't sent this organism through FedEx. One of the problems with this bug is that it can be easily caught through an aerosol, like when a lab worker takes the lid off the plate for a closer look - like all of us did. We may have to take an antibiotic as a precaution. Or we could all call in sick and leave all the work for the 3 people who were off. Hopefully we'll get an answer tomorrow.

Geez whatta day!
Peggie! I have been spelling your name wrong this whole dang time! So sorry love, really how rude of me. Thank you so much for the number, I will have to call when I get the chance, I am really liking the kettlebells for some reason, strange. Glad to hear that Tayler doing to well. I loved that you posted your measurements to, you go girl with your sexy self!
Robin, how strange you mentioned Gayle, I did read that and have been thinking about that all day long, will post tomorrow...how cool about your new nasty bug, well maybe cool isn't the word to use here, be careful and take your antibiotics, then eat your yogurt!
Lainie bug, loving your new outfit, and why in the world would you not feel confident enough to wear that to the RT? You have a smokin' bod darlin', not too worry! Loved my booby gal, thank you. Gosh, I really hate that wink.
Leanne, whats up chica? Georgie has gross ears--inside, they get all yukky and smelly, so I got some stuff to clear it up. Poor guy, they always stick a thermometer up his rump, and he is so embarassed by it.
Shannon, I am so impressed by your spelling of the word "combobulate" or whatever the hell that word was!
Kara, you look like Miranda from Sex and the City! Foxy fine mama you!
OK, where is Breckie darn it?
I am pooped, not sure if I am thrilled about the whole living on the boat for good thing, but if it makes DH happy, then I will be happy for him, does that make sense? I am highly adaptable, so its all good. But Sunday? Guess who has to clean the boat for the inspectors? Your lookin' at her. Well, we pay the captains wife to clean, well she has just once, I clean while we are living here, not sure how I got into this one, I am not looking forward to it at all, I am pretty tired actually. Its just different is all. I think I need more iron or something. Ok, enough complaining, I would hate to sound ungrateful. Love you guys see ya in the am...
