<---play that funky music

<--- tells Nancy that Mr. Foo Foo Pants does have a gated, fenced yard, but when he goes outside, he likes to lay by the door, which doesn't exactly constitute exercise:p
<--- took him for a nice walk along the edge of the escarpment
<--- can't see Boybert's avatar either, just a blurb saying something about free avatars
<--- still has to do cardio and think of something to make for din din
 
<-- is LOL at you gals
<-- will think of some name for Melody... that involves the word Sleuth... if only so that the DSs can learn to spell that word
<-- just got back from a hike/walk at the baylands with a friend since <-- was 3 years old
<-- thinks he has lots of issues and can only handle him in small doses
<-- does enjoy him, though
<-- is all happy because DH and <-- got an invite from lead instructor man and his wife to go to dinner sometime!
<-- doesn't have friends like that so it's really nice and fun to think about
<-- is going to lie in bed and watch TV before heading to Target and maybe the running store
<-- is eating oatmeal in preparation for a long run hopefully tomorrow morning
<-- will meet Christine!!!! tomorrow afternoon :7 :7 :7
 
<---says Anastasia Medley Sleuth reporting in
<---thinks <---might try that one for a while
<---thinks it sounds like the detective character of a mystery novel
<---loves Nancy's disguise and will try it next time as GS legs found <--- this time
<---is pondering the what to have for dinner thingy also
<---wishes Amy a fun-run-meet-Christine day tomorrow
<---has to shower and fake a dinner menu
<---doesn't think <---'s family will like fake food
 
<--- is having weird things for dinner
<--- discovered leftover pasta and veggies in the fridge, which means she doesn't have to cook for her SO, he can have that
<--- just ate some baby carrots and a bit of oatmeal with cinnamon and raisins
<--- might have some baked beans too
<--- went for a 5 mile run after all:p
<--- wonders why the runs that you think are going to suck always turn out to be great?
<--- is now showered, in her comfy yoga pants and fleece top and firmly ensconced for the evening
 
<-- is inspired by Shelley's post to suggest dinner out tonight }(
<-- has already read the menu and decided what <-- will order and DH won't be home for another few hours!!
<-- still has to do Core Synergistics today
<-- would actually prefer to go to bed right now, since the hour walk in the wind and errands all day today after the 2 runs yesterday and the exam and margarita last night have all taken their toll
<-- is going to do Core Synergistics anyway
<-- bought new running shoes this afternoon!!!
<-- spent loads of money on the 2 pairs, but <-- had coupons for $15 off each pair, so it could have been a lot worse
<-- will be trying out New Balance shoes now
<-- thinks the ETL plan is difficult when eating out unless there is a salad bar
<-- is now considering just going to Whole Foods and eating out of the salad bar for dinner
<-- knows that would be much much faster
<-- could still do with some dirtier food from Pasta Pomodoro }( :9
<-- would so much rather sit and debate this question than spend an hour on core synergistics...
<-- needs the ideas for bootcamp, though, so core synergistics it is...
<-- isn't sure if Sarah (Imafitnessfreak) reads this thread or not, but GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN TOMORROW!!!!

Michlee
 
<---have not read a single post on this thread
<---wanted to say hi and tell y'all a few things first
<---it's COLD here (okay, 55 is not cold, but quite a change from the 80s we've been having)
<---is just loving the weather change, but the baby pepper plants aren't
---made Grilled Portobellos with Rosemary-Roasted Vegetables (pg. 334 of Vegan Planet) for dinner... OMG... YUM!
<---announces the latest news from the so-called "lovely" job down below in non<----speak:

Apparently all employees at the university will now be monitored for internet usage. We're not supposed to use it for personal interests, of course, but everyone does... and then some. For the past week, the university maxed out its capacity every single day. Therefore, internet usage is monitored. You ladies can guess what that means, can't you? No more daytime posting !!! x( :eek: ;( So anyhow, this is to let you know I'll zip in whenever I get the chance... but considering how bad the employment situation is in our department, I'm not about to risk getting written up for non-work-related internet use!

<---will now peruse the rest of this thread!
 
<--- just read Shannon's post about internet monitoring at work
<--- ;( :-( ;( :-( :-( ;( :-( ;( :-( ;( :-( ;( :-( :-(
<--- Loves chatting with Shannon and will miss future lessons in hick speak
<--- thinks we may need to come up with a secret identity for Shannon

Michlee
 
<--says awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww to all the cute Joey first birthday party stuff
<--is amazed that Anastasia Medley Sleuth (AMS) just cooked two dinners on a Saturday night :eek:
<--thinks Amy's Whole Foods salad bar sounds great
<--just ate a can of Health Valley 5 Bean Vegetable soup which was awfully good for canned soup
-Nancy
 
<---wonders if the secret identity will disguise work computer's id too?
<---thinks it's certainly worth a try!
<---tells "Michlee" that maybe we can do hickspeak on the weekends, if <--- can drag herself indoors
<---tosses out a quick little hickspeak lesson: hair = hayur; good = gee-ud
<---has tried to speak to died-in-the wool hicks before, some of which <--- quite literally cannot understand without employing intense concentration
 
<--tells Shannon that <--'s internet usage is monitored also, but still reads the Cathe boards at work
<--doubts that her reading the Cathe boards slows down the firm's internet
<--wonders if all the pasta everyone is eating is whole wheat?
<--loves New Balance shoes
<--tells Ms. Lee that the financial advisor visit today was okay and financial advisor says that we're on track
<--should have no problem retiring in 10 years or less, especially since DH has no interest in retiring
<--LOVES hearing that retirement is within reach so that <-- can spend her days at the gym and the pilates studio :+
<--may actually learn to cook when she isn't working anymore :eek: :eek:
-Nancy
 
<---is very very happy that Nancy can see retirement on the horizon
<---expects to have to work until <--- drops
<---asks Nancy if she can explain how this monitoring thing works
<---wonders if <--- can check in every so often, but then disconnect from the internet to avoid attracting attention?
<---has eaten whole wheat pasta in the past and likes it, but is currently in an anti-pasta mood
 
<---is thrilled to see so many ladies around
<---informs Nancy <---only eats stone ground whole wheat breads and pastas
<---will never get to retire as this job has no end
<---thinks the name "Miss Lee" will work nicely into hick talk
<---thinks Anastasia Medley Sleuth is way too sophisticated for use in hick talk
<---cries total and complete bummer about Shannon's work internet monitoring
<---will definitely "sleuth" around for a way around that
<---agrees if Amy goes back to origin of running shoe purchase they will apply and refund the discount amount
<---is feeling frisky
<---edits, OMG and WOW after picking <---up from floor after reading that Nancy MAY learn to cook....in 10 years...bawahhahahaha:+
 
<--tells Shannon that she just asked DH and he says that every time you go to a website, the name of the website is logged somewhere. Presumably, they can tell from the name of the website that it's not work-related, or they might just ask you what it is. DH says if it's a big university, they probably don't have someone reading the logs, but rather are alerted when someone goes to particular websites where people download lots of information like Napster or itunes, because big downloads are the main problem.
