Moment of Truth/Fall Check-In - Thurs. Sept 15

Where Kali??? Did she have too much fun last night? :+ Where are your girl?

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

I'm wonderin' the same thing!

Off to take Joey for a walk. BBL! :)
 
Jane,

I've had a pumpkin smoothie very much like the one you posted and it was DELICIOUS!! I want to try the baked apple one too! What great ideas for fall. I do NOT want to give up my smoothies just because I can't get fresh watermelon and strawberries year round, thats for sure!!
But I bought a HUMONGOUS TUB of CHOCOLATE protein powder at Costco!! Now I need to get some vanilla too!!:)

I buy tons of apples at the apple festivals we go to here.....they are coming up this weekend and next! I can't wait!
 
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....smoothies! I love them but its to bad that they don't keep me filled up for longer.I can't beleive I didn't take advantage of all the fresh fruit this summer and make lots of drinks:-( Where did the summer go anyway?

Charlotte- I think Becky wants a challenge...she is giving hints! Sort of like when DH says "whats wrong?" and we say "nothing"...when really, there is alot wrong! hahahahaha:) :7 }(
My DH is really good as well.I really have to do something bad in order to get in to trouble.HE is normally very understanding.Unless we go back to last week when he was being an A$$ and giving me a hard time b/c I was moody.
We did some dorr knockers, we were out for around 2 hours.I had to come home b/c I was sweating buckets and I couldn't run into anymore people.I looked like I was leaking breast milk:eek:
I am hoping to still get my workout in later,
Lori:)
 
Hello to everyone-Todsy is PLB and all 3 coremax's. I will also do a cardio someime today. I am waiting until 3 to do coremax so Kim and I can do it atthe same time.

Becky-I am nervous about MIS twice and back to back. I will do it once and start it twice but if I feel I need a break before finishing the second time I will take it. I am sure Charlotte will understand that. :)

Charlotte-You will right? :)
Kali-is everything ok?
Wendy-I run my business from home so there are somedays I don't see to msny adults. Thst is why I like to get out in the evenings at least a couple times a week. Weekends can be fun if all my married friends don't have other obligations.
Jane-My son is 24 and lives on his own about an hour from me. We are close and even goout together sometimes. He has however been backing off from that. We have some of the same fiends ranging in age from his to mine. We met these people when we use to work at the same computer company. Then I started my business and left. He has stated he wants to be out with out his mom around even if they are friends of both of us. It kinda hurts my feeling but I also understand.
Lori-Well I am happy for you that no damage was done by the night you ate bad.
Kim-I will see you later for our coremax marathon.

I read more of the Kiterunner lst night. I stayed up till one reading it and I know now I won finish until at least friday.

I hope I didn't forget anyone!

Terri
 
Kali - talk when you're ready. I hope you are alright.


Terri - I am close to my 25-year-old son but not as close as my daughter. I think it's a little different with daughters. I'm sorry your feelings were hurt by your son. Both of mine have hurt my feelings before. Sometimes that seems par for the course for family though, right?
 
I think LORI is being a troublemaker!!!!!!!!}( ;-)
Shhhhhh stop giving Charlotte ideas!!
I am doing the Sept. rotation and BELIEVE me, it's tough enough!!:p

Kali, we're here if & when you want to talk. I hope everything is okay.
 
Thank you Jane, Becky and Terri. You guys are great.

Everything is ok with my family and all. It's just me. I've gotten myself into something and it's a mess. A big emotional mess and I don't know what I'm going to do about it. I'm just trying to take an hour at a time and get thru today. It'll all work out however it's supposed to. Sorry to be so vague, but so many people read this that don't check in here.

I have to go to my guitar lesson but I'll be back later.

Thanks.

Kali... it's okay, you don't have to be specific. Just know we are thinking about you. You have my # or can PM if you need anything further.
 
Jane,

I am coming over to your house. You are making me hungry as can be! Love your smoothie and baking ideas!

Lori,

You throwing gasoline onto this for Becky? Come on, lets start a fire here!!!! I think she is trying to say she wants a challenge while teasing me. :eek:

Kali,

I hope things work out for you whatever it is. Don't you worry. Tomorrow is another day. Things will be brighter, don't fret.

Terri,

yeah, it is o.k. I didn't get to do my KPC twice yesterday. Just did squats. I just came in from getting off the tractor to get a bite to eat. I tell you, my legs are so stiff and sore it is comical! I am not complaining. I think I just got what I asked for...TOASTED! Now how am I suppose to push mow around my yard???? I swear I wish you all could see me now...you would be laughing your butts off!

Charlotte~~
 
Hi Everyone!
Sorry, I didn't post yesterday as I was working then at school. By the time I got home all I wanted to do was eat dinner and watch t.v. I did get to workout though - I ran 3 miles on the treadmill at the gym plus my "own" slow and heavy legs.

Today is 40 min cardio + S&H shoulders...can't decide which cardio to do - I'm leaning towards LM...we'll see.

Jane - that smoothie sounds yummy! Too bad my blender just broke! It seems as though all my small appliances last less than a year, very irritating!

Charlotte - KPC twice?! Have you done it before? You are one hardcore chick!:D

I'll check back later!

Hey Kali...let me know if you want to talk... Email me or pm me. We can exchange phone #s as well if you want. Up to you. Just know I'm here for ya! :) Hope you feel better!
 
This is just dumb, but I got to say it....

There was this big creepy black and yellow spider in my cornstalks. Now it magically disappeared...web and all. I got to get those stalks down for my Halloween decorations. I don't want to make contact with that spider. I have already got stung by a creepy looking caterpillar out there. I am going to have to go out there with a broom or something and sweep every cornstalk off...I am so paranoid now. I hate bugs!!!!

Now you all can laugh.

Charlotte~~
 
LOL... Charlotte I despise spiders too!! That sounds like a writing spider. I don't know if you've heard of them before. At least that is what they are called down here. Big black spider with either white or yellow markings and it looks like it has "written" on its web with thicker silk than the rest of the web. I don't blame you, I'd probably take a shotgun out there!:7
 
I won't laugh Charlotte! I'm the same way!!! I get the willies, the heebie jeebies AND the creeps from spiders especially!!!! My skin is gettin' crawly just thinkin' about them! YUCK! x(
 
Jane,

Yes, I think that is the spider. Well you don't live that far from me in North Carolina, right? So we probably have similiar bugs, etc. I got stung by the saddleback caterpillar last week. Never got stung by a caterpillar before. Didn't do much but burn some.

Charlotte~~
 
Two good insect stories for ya:

Just a couple of weeks ago I had a run-in with a spider that, well, atleast in MY EYES was HUGE!!! Oh how awful nasty gross it was! I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw it crawlin' on the bathroom wall! I ran out of the room and grabbed the first shoe I could find...with out really lookin at it I slammed the shoe against the wall. When I lifted the shoe there was a mark but no spider. When I looked on the bottom of the shoe...no spider. I looked around the floor in the area I hit it and didn't see anything...??? I was paranoid all week that it was still alive and gonna come back to get me!!! LOL I don't know if I didn't kill it and it managed to crawl away to where I couldn't see it once it hit the floor or what but all I know is I haven't seen it since that day and THANK GOODNESS! ACK! It was the biggest darn spider I think I have ever seen! EEEWWWWW!

Several years ago I laid down in bed with the light still on in my room. I was laying on my side with my eyes closed....after a few minutes I heard a scratching type noise. I opened my eyes and saw nothing so I closed them again. I kept hearing it. Finally after a few minutes I picked up my head to look around and when I looked down at my pillow OMG a freakin' beetle was on the pillow! I had laid down on it and it was between my head and the pillow probably makin' noise as it was trying to escape! I screamed and ran downstairs tellin' my mom about this HUGE beetle that she had to kill. After she killed it she came down laughing at me because she said it was a tiny thing. lol
 
Holy Cow...for real!!! I am sitting here by this computer and I see something out my window...COWS!!!! Three of them. I just went out there and chased them away on my tractor. Knocked on the neighbors door, but he didn't answer. They went thru the cornstalks...AGGGHH! Think they might have stepped on that ole' spider though..hope so.
Well now I got to get out there again with the push mower. They are in my other neighbors yard now. Oh, Lord!

Charlotte~~
 
Charlotte ~~ sounds like somebody has a fence down... what a pain in the butt that is!!

No, I don't think we are that far from each other. I live down closer to the SC border near Charlotte, still NC isn't as long as it is wide, :+ so Virginia isn't that far away.
