Good Morning Ladies.

Angie: I am glad that we were able to inspire you so much. Keep up the great work! I hope you slept better last night. Nothing worse then a bad night's sleep. :-(

Cathy: Good luck with your classes this week...not that you need it.:) My exam is DONE! All I have to do is make copies of everything and mail it off! That reminds me...I am supposed to get that done TODAY! Thanks for the reminder!:)

I have GSC&T and ab work on tap for today.

My neck is not 100% quite yet so I will need to continue taking the prescription I have for today atleast. UGH. I took it last night and it really threw me for a loop. It was a bit scarey but I am fine. I hope it doesn't mess w/me today. Last night is the first time it ever did!

Okay, I'll check back in later chickies!
 
Good morning, all! :)

Wendy :: Glad to hear the trip out wasn’t a total waste ~ you scored some clothes for your trip. And yeah – absolutely -- flaunt it, girl!...So, what was going on with your neck last night? Sounds serious. Be careful today with your workout...GREAT news about the exam...woo-hoo! You're on your way!!

Angie :: let us know how the April rotation is…I may do another leg rotation after this one…I share your approach about eating/weight loss…I enjoy food and could not go totally clean nor could I stick with anything TOO strict…I try to find the balance in moderation and am generally OK with slow progress…BUT lately, I find myself growing a little impatient, and I know exercising more restraint with my caloric intake is necessary. I’m working on that…To tell you the truth, I’m not sure what this class will involve…I believe it is concentrating on one of the portfolios we will have to prepare.

After class, I have another chiro visit, and then it’ll be yoga.

Have a great day, ladies! Off to get ready!

Wendy .. congrats on finishing the exam!! :) I know you are glad to get that done!!

Angie .. checked out your pics . you are gorgeous and have come a long way .. as Wendy said you should be proud!! Funny .. I pictured you w/red hair .. I think you have a fiery personality .. guess that is why I thought you had red hair .. LOL!!!

Cathe .. think the new call name suits you .. my nickname is Poochy or Pooch .. thanks to DH (the pooch referring to my rear end not my love for dogs)...so I am not creative and just go by that .. LOL!!

Diana .. hope the DS got home safely .. I know you are excited .. and I know he has lots of adventures to share w/you (and probably some he won't share ;-) LOL ) .. do fill us in!

Nancy .. I know you are having a wonderful vacation!

we got lots of much needed RAIN this weekend .. so my long run got canceled .. and I spent a lot of my time Sat. cleaning and just sitting watching the rain! Sunday was stressfull .. family crap .. my mothers well pump went out .. DH on midnights and he is the one she expects to fix everything .. we had to make a trip last night to try to get parts and a new one .. aahhhh .. and it still is not fixed .. DH got home this morning getting a short nap then has to help a neighbor who's pump went out . . then they are going to work on mother's pump ... bless his heart!

Today I am going to try to get into my hairdresser .. my hair is a nightmare today .. and is too long to do anything resembling a hair style .. and this D### humidity is not helping at all .. x( .. then tonight is circuit class .. I NEED it too!

OK .. will BBL to check on all of you!! have a great day!!
 
Hi Ladies,

I must be nervous about Jerod flying home today. I could not sleep last night and I've been biting my nails again. UGH-disgusting. Oh, and I ate a bunch of crap this weekend. I just checked the Delta website and his flight from London has landed in Atlanta. He does have a 5 hour layover in Atlanta before his flight home tonight.

I didn't work out this morning since I couldn't get up...I have heavy leg work at the rec ctr at lunch. I'm seeing much more definition in my legs since starting this heavy weight rotation. More in the hamstrings since as a former gymnast, my quads have always been muscular.

Wendy-Sorry to hear the museum was no longer there. Hopefully Joey is too young to be terribly disappointed. I always feel better after a shopping spree too. When will you get the results of your exam?

Laura-I hear ya with the hair dilemma. I have think wavy/curly hair and humidity just makes it a big (and I mean big) mess. I just got it cut into layers on Friday and am not sure if I like it or not. Good luck with your hair cut.

Cathy-Chiropractor and yoga? I just wanted sleep after my chiro visits. I hope they are effective for you.

Angie-I'll check back to see what you are up to.

Nancy-when do you come back??? I hope you are having a great vacation.

Diana
 
Laura :: I found myself chuckling through your post as I am getting to the point of being way overdue for a haircut and am havin’ trouble these days tamin’ the ‘fro. Stylist is on vaca. My summertime solution? Ponytails and/or baseball hats. I dress way down when I’m bummin’ around at home!…Wondered about your user name, if it was a doggy reference. Hope you survive that pump madness down there!

Diana :: glad to hear the transatlantic flight went smoothly and on time…Yep, I’m another one with wavy/curly hair…I like to blow it out, but in the summer (or when it’s raining), it can be a lost cause…hence, the hats :)…I think I am understanding now what you mean about the post-chiro sleepiness…I am so ready for a nap right now! What happened? This whole chiro thing is fascinating – and still scary to me! When she makes adjustments to my back or neck, I fear paralysis! *lol* I’m such a wuss! But I feel *different* afterward – like I can hold my spine straighter or something. I’m still learning about all this stuff. But anyway, I might just have to take a nap and then do yoga in the evening.

Well, class today went by quickly…It was a class of six individuals – four of whom teach in my former district (I didn’t know any of them). Anyway, these next four days are to help us begin the certification process. There is SO much reading. Basically, to obtain the cert, we will have to complete four, intense portfolio entries – some of these will require videotaped lessons or other "evidence" such as student work. All will require written analysis and deep reflection. These are due by the end of March ’08. Then in June, we’re required to take a computer-based assessment in our subject area. The test is made up of six questions, and you have 30 minutes to respond to each. And then get this – you don’t find out how you did until NOVEMBER at the earliest!!! Aghhh!! I’m going to go insane. I’m not that patient!!! *lol* OK, have I bored you yet with all that shop talk?? :D

BBL - after I do my homework. (Yes, I have HW tonight!)
Cathy :)
 
aahhhhh ... nothing like a fresh cut hair do!!! Yes I do have a "hairstyle" now! LOL

Even the hairstylist .. laughed at me .. she totally agreed about the much overdo haircut! She said she never saw hair grow like mine .. asked me what vitamins I take .. shoot .. I think it has got to be the CABS (can't take vitamins b/c of kidney stones) .. LOL!

My hair is not curly .. not straight .. it has just enough "body" to make it look like I tried to curl it and it flopped!! so I have to use a smoother conditioner .. and either a flat iron to go straight .. or set it w/velcro rollers to be straight w/some fluff!

Now if I can get myself out of this asylum I may survive the day .. is it a full moon again? (it has taken about 35 min. to write this) ... Wish I could pipe in the sounds right now .. have some lady that has obviously been drinking asking a MILLION questions about appliances ..and to use our PRIVATE bathroom .. and then another MILLION questions and stupid comments ... her husband is on a cell phone cussing like a freaking sailor and talking as loud as a politition... the kid has now turned on the stereo at full blast ...my phone is ringing off the hook and all I want to do is run away ... this place is a ZOO right now!!!!

Come on 5:00!!!
 
Hello girls

I'm posting later than usual b/c the kids are at grandmas and so DH and I invited his aunt and uncle out to dinner. We didn't even get home until 9, which is DH's bedtime. He gets up at 4:30 so I can't give him too much crap about it.:D Had salmon and wild rice - yummmy! It's always so much better when someone else makes it! I started the new leg rotation today which started with S&H legs and shoulders. Tomorrow I had to sub for KM since I don't have that one. I'm doing Powermax instead. I'm ready for a cardio!

Wendy - Slept great last night until the alarm blarred at 5am. We had a safety meeting this am - ug!.}( I also kinda got enthralled with my book so I didn't go to bed until 11:30 and I was hoping to go to bed early, which didn't happen. LOL!
Good for you on getting that exam done! I'm such a procrastinator that I'm sure I would wait until the last minute and get myself into trouble. It seems like you are doing this all very quickly - you are so efficient! So, any ideas on what you might do when you get certified? Any plans?

Cathy - Hope you are feelin better after your nap. Glad the sessions are agreeing with you. :) OMG - your exam sounds so intense! So, do you get a big pay raise after you pass this thing? Do you have to collect data from your students thru the next year? Can you get most of it done before classes start again - although, with your schedule that probably won't be easy either.

Laura - You really made me chuckle with the red head comment. Yes, I can be a spit fire and stubborn to boot. Sometimes not the best combo - just ask DH.:p Thanks for the kind comments. I'm getting there.
Your DH sounds like such a sweetie! It really is so nice of him to help out. Too bad it interfered with you weekend though.
Your hair comments also cracked me up. As you can see, I have just given up on mine and let it go - LOL! My hair hasn't been this long since I was a kid. I'm just too darn lazy to go get it cut, but I know I really need to. It's straight as straight can be. I used to do perms all the time and then I just thought, why fight it? I just need to find something that works, so I grew out my bangs. Now, I need to go back to the hairdresser and let her DO something with it.
Hey, what about that kidney stone test? Do you ever re-do that?

Diana - I am so excited for you. I hope you get the day off tomorrow as it sounds like Jarod might be getting home kind of late. You all will have so many stories to share for the next few days. Hope all goes well.:)

Nancy - still on vacation??

Have a good night all!!

Angie
