X Team- THRILLED I'm a new AuntieTHURSDAY

[teddy16410]

:7 My Apryl Dawn had Mathew Daniel at 4:30 California time yesterday afternoon- while I'm at Wendells Xmas Party I keep taking calls from my sister (in Bakersfield) whos giving me blow by blow accounts of EVERYTHING! Too fun!!!!
Back in a bit!

No w/o yesterday....... Internet went down so all the techs from Wendells company settled in at my house for 7 hours yesterday.... after Xmas part they all had to come back to finish..... There are still problems on their business end of it all but at least they got ME up & running! :+ I do believe Wendell told the guys that he wasnt going to live with the lunatic if her email is down!:+

Today is Shoulders & Arms & ARX - (try 2)


Well my lack of sleeping again this week has been explained...just got results back from my labs last week.... My cortisol levels are lower than they've been in a year.... This is what creates the sleep disturbance.... I am off to the pharmacy to pick up increased dosages of a few things.... My Dr said she has never seen a body my age be so depleated for so long.... Here I thought I was feeling like a spring chicken most days....

Sandy appears to be back to normal:7 :7 :7, my BIL is home and recovering nicely :7 :7 :7, I have a healthy new great nephew:7 :7 :7, my niece is doing well this morning :7 :7 :7, my bowflex select-tech equipment has arrived:7 :7 :7, the company party is over & done:7 :7 :7, I get my hormones balanced again today:7 :7 :7, I have internet:7 :7 :7, I have a new BIG O Peanut Butter Bar Recipe to make this weekend:7 :7 :7, and all my X gal pals are safe and happy and healthy:7 :7 :7; what more can a girl ask for????

Back with the personals post - :* :* :*

Classic/ Week 4/ Day 4/ XStretch (will be subbing yoga)

Good morning,

Just have a minute to say hello. I'm off to do some Fluid Power. I'm going to do a slightly shortened version of the BackBend Flow, and tonight's the Pump & Jump class at the Y.

Traci.....Congratulations on the new nephew!!!!!! You're having a stellar day.

BBL for more chatter,
Sandra

 

[aschendell]

Running through to wave on my way out the door...I am running SUPER late this morning!! Back in a while to catch up a bit. I have to take my car in for service this morning, but I am getting a loaner so that I don't have to hang around the dealership all morning.

Kisses and happy wishes for a good day to all!!
Debra

PS Congrats on the new nephew, Traci!

Good Morning Xers!

I did end up doubling up yesterday. I did Plyo X yesterday morning and Shoulders & Arms yesterday afternoon. I'm feeling MUCH better today. I still have some coughing/congestion, but I've definitely turned the corner. Later on I'll be doing Yoga X. I have lots of running around to do today, and it's supposed to be mixed mess I've not driven my mini-van in any sort of winter weather yet (just got it in August) so I hope it stays on the road! lol. I hope you all have a great day, BBL for personals!

Doubles/Week 2/Day 4
Workout: X Shoulders & Arms + ARX

Morning Gang,

Carol: Nice Job ;-) ;-)

Sandra: EXACTLY, you got it right! I’m replacing L&B with Cathe’s leg workouts which I feel is a MUCH better workout

Jeanette: Still no shopping I'll get there!

What can I say Shoulder & Arm Yowza!!! Loving it. My plan was to sneak in a 30 minute cardio before S&A but I woke up too late bbl

 

[Netta]

Morning ladies,

Round 2, Lean Rotation, Phase 1, Week 3, Day 4 - Yoga

Today I did Shiva Rea's Yoga Shakti matrix for about 45 minutes. Very relaxing. Of course, I had to pee before shavasana so had to pause the DVD and go, then come back. I don't want anything messing with my mind during shavasana.

Am sure it will be busy at work today. Have to do a little shopping after work. We are almost out of toilet paper so guess I'd better go. If I was really, really lazy, I'd go take the rolls out of the camp trailer and put off the shopping. DH wants me to pick him up a few pairs of Wranglers at Walmart so that's where I'm heading.

Traci, congrats on the new addition to the family. Glad everyone is doing fine. Is this a first child for your niece? Hope the new dosages of cortisol work out for you. That's wonderful about the internet being back in place at your house. Enjoy Shoulder's & Arms today. I'm about where I was last Round at this time as far as reps and weights go. So glad that Sandy is doing well now. What a scare that was. Life is good, isn't it? The brownie recipe looks great, but I'm going to make myself hold off on making them until Christmas as I know where they'll end up if kept around here. How was the party?

Sandra, I did Shiva's yoga today too. I don't have Fluid Power. Is it pretty doable for a beginner like me? Enjoy your Pump & Jump class tonite. Are there many children in it?

Debra, couldn't you just drive CB's car? That's got to be nicer than a loaner isn't it? Probably a matter of convenience to drive the loaner. Hope you get the problem taken care of.

Carol, wow, doubled up P90X! You are a hardcore mama!!! Hope you have good tires on your minivan. I hate slipping and sliding.

Latrese, thanks for the idea. Think tomorrow I will do a Cathe leg workout and throw in my backwork too. Are you still getting your walks in? I do mine around 3:30 each afternoon. I prolong my lunch 45 minutes until then (though I do eat at my desk at noon). Love my walks! How's Ted doing? Sounds like he's letting you get those workouts in. He must have gotten the message, huh?

BBL, Laurie will probably post now.:7 :7

Morning Xers,

Round 3/Phase 1/Week 3/Day 3
Workout: Shoulders & Arms / ARX / 30 Min Run

Today is like a Friday for me. I have taken tomorrow off as a vacation day. I need to get some things done before Christmas is upon us. Like getting my DD's some presents. :7 :7

Traci, Congrats on the new great nephew. Wow you had a house full of men. Testosterone all over the place. :7 :7 Glad they where able to get your e-mail running though. So glad that you are having a great day. Love all the smiles. :7 I'm such a mean Mom, that I don't give my DD's an allowance. Neither DH or I ever received one from our parents. Our DD's complain about it all the time. I have told them they actually have to do a chore for more than a day to receive an allowance. :7 :7

Tracy, If we left our keys in our cars they would probably get stolen. :7 Not that there is a high crime rate in our area, but so far we have had lumber and a gas can stolen from our garage. Sounds like a great goal to hike that mountain. When does your DH and DS plan on working on their endurance to keep up with you and your other DS. :7

Debra, Good thing that the yoga took care of those problem areas. I love s'mores too. :9 Yup my DD's where looking at me as if I was an alien. The expression on their faces when I told them to start drying the dishes was priceless. But I must admitt that the youngest did the dishes by herself yesterday. But then even at 10 she still likes to play in the water. :7 Dishes where done though. I am no help on the L word. I had one boyfriend that tried to use it, and I wasn't ready. So by by boyfriend. :7 :7

Sandra, I had to LOL at your description of doing the dishes with your brother. I was the washer and my oldest brother was the one who was suppose to wipe. It ended up that all the dishes would drip dry, and he would never have to dry one dish. Of course he was older than I was, so got away with it. ;( Still some bitterness on my part. :7 :7 Thanks for the recipe, it looks really good. My family will love these, since PB is everyones fav. :9

Jeanette, DH did manage to finally get some good drugs. There was a mix up at the pharmacy. I'm hoping this does the trick, because I'm really getting annoyed with his coughing. Or is it just PMS working through my system. :7 I would love to go out to breakfast with just my DH, but the DD's love to eat breakfast also. Would have to take them along. Hope you are able to get that snow for Christmas. There is something about that day that I just love the snow at that time. After that it can go away. And yes I am posting just about.... NOW!!!

Nicole, Hope your DS is feeling better. Wow that GB house is really quite big. Love your meez, it really shows what you must be going through right now. :7 :7

Carol, How do you feel today after the double up process. I remember Traci did the same thing and was very sore the next day. Hope you don't get the same mixed mess that we received. It was no fun driving around in that.

TG, Will you be doing a cardio later today? Or just getting in those PJ's. I would vote for the second option. ;-)

Have a great day!

Laurie

 

[FiddleFit]

Good morning again!

Yoga is done, and thank you notes are still coming in from all parts of my body. My lower back and hips were really stiff. It's obvious I haven't done this yoga in quite a while. Felt great, though.

Traci....You guys are really having trouble with phone and cable lines, aren't you? Do you live in the far reaches of Beyond? Of all your news, I'm most thrilled to hear that Sandy is doing well. Give her a scratch behind the ear for me, and an extra helping of her favourite treat. I hope your cortisol levels get propped up quick. Why does one's cortisol levels change? Does this generally happen as we age, or is there some other cause? I thought your BowFlex stuff arrived last week? Or was that just the message telling you to expect them this week? The new Cathe calendars should be on our doorsteps really soon!! So, how was the Xmas party? It sounds like you had a nice diversion throughout. I hope the baby and mom are healthy and getting lots of rest.

Debra....You're the White Rabbit today. You're late! You're late! For a very important date!! I'm sure this is the diva's fault, right? She spent too much time in the bathroom? A "yoga wall"? What makes this wall different from any other wall? Are there pillows along the floor? Make the brownies for the teachers. They will love you for it. SB and CCAbs yesterday was a terrrrific workout, but then, I adore SB. And I love the music in CCAbs. In all, a great workout. Another drive-by L word?? Oh my. I'm with Tracy on this: is there a difference between a phone L and an in-person L? And if you can see the person on a camera phone, is there any difference at all?

Carol....That's some tough stuff you're doing, with such a wretched cold. The next time you do this week (in Week 9), all the workouts are bound to feel so much easier! I don't have snow tires on my Matrix, and I spin and slide all over the place. Winter driving is a ball of fun.

Teddygirl....I agree that Cathe's lower body workouts are more effective (for me) than P90X's LB. But I keep it in there precisely for the pull/chin ups. I add on a Cathe lower body workout earlier in the week, so I get the best of both worlds.

Jeanette....Wow, what a lot of exercise you got in yesterday. Are you feeling it today? A yoga day sounds perfect. What are some of the songs on that Soft Rock dvd? LMAO about the peeing before Shavasana. Yoga always makes me have to pee. I think all the twisting must squeeze everything out of the kidneys and bladder. Fluid Power is only harder than Yoga Shakti due to the unique transitions between moves, and her emphasis on making the poses more fluid than static. There are segments of Yoga Shakti that are much harder than anything on Fluid Power: FP has barely any arm balances, while YS seems to have tons. You have to learn the choreography on FP, unlike other yoga dvds where they simply tell you which pose to adopt. But once you've given it a whirl a few times, it comes together, and is really, really enjoyable. I think you would like it. I'm still working on packaging the Christi tape. Has it become known yet that I'm TERRIBLE at mailing packages? It's not that I don't want to get things out, I think it's because my father was the postmaster in our small town. He worked a small town block up the street from our house. If you wanted anything mailed, you just left it on the kitchen counter and he took it to work with him. You didn't have to pay a thing. Magic! As a grown up, where every other service is available to me from my computer, having to actually go to a post office seems like such an inconvenience. But please don't take this as reluctance or whinging. I can suck it up and go to the post office just like the rest of the world. It will do me some good. I hear you can get passport applications and tax forms while you're there. So see? I need to go. There's about 10 pairs of kids & parents who attend the PJ class. I don't let my guests do dishes, either. I was the only grand daughter on my mother's side of the family and I always figured if my boy cousins didn't have to help with the dishes and clean up, then neither should I. I think I was a big disappointment to my mother: I was not a very good protege for her Martha Stewart ways.

Tracy....I wouldn't have asked for money for the APX dvd!!! But I understand why you're going to stick with your order. Who knows? Maybe one day I'll feel inclined to try it again. Your post yesterday was very amusing. Traci will indeed have shrunk beyond recognition by the spring. And yes, you were exactly right about the brownie portion size. It's ridiculous to think someone's going to cut it into 36 eensy pieces. I think I usually cut it 6x4, so 24 pieces, then eat 2 pieces, if I'm not pms-ing. If I'm pms-ing, it's 4x2!!! And then I eat what's left on the kids' plates and lick the knife used to cut it all.

Laurie....My DD is supposed to get $2/week if she makes her bed every day. If she misses a day, she gets 10 cents deducted. This is a good theory, but the novelty wore off after about a year, and now she no longer makes her bed at all. And I don't push her to do it, because if she doesn't, it saves me $2/week! So see? We all benefit from her sloth. LOL!! At what point in a marriage does concern for DH's well-being get sidelined by annoyance at the rudeness of his symptoms? I have the exact same reaction to my DH: "Do you HAVE to sneeze so loud?! And for heaven's sake, COVER YOUR MOUTH!!"

Nicole....Oh dear, I hope DS feels better soon, and the bugs don't jump ship to your other sons, or yourself. Oh yay, you're going to Michael's with the kids? Neat! What days do they do the crafts at your store? I don't know what pirouline cookies are, and I don't want to. But I'm sure they'll make your cabin look delicious. Will there me a witch inside to tempt children into her oven? That would be a cool thing to make for Halloween.

Traci never made it back for personals. I hope she didn't lose her internet again.

Well, time to go do all the stuff that needs to be done. Have a great day!!
Sandra

 

[Teddygirl]

Jeanette: Tomorrow is leg day too. I will be doing GS Legs and a 30/45 minutes jog. I hibernate in the cool weather, I walk from my car to my appartment, that's it.

Laurie: Since I won’t be doing YogaX tomorrow, by the why I replaced Yoga with StretchX that what I’m doing tonight. So I can work legs tomorrow.

Tracie: Congratulations I know he is so adorable. How nice. I really enjoyed reading your post this morning, Nice!

 

[teddy16410]

The second I hit post at 3am my internet crashed again.... just now back up 10:40... All the "team" been here freakin' out...... so here are the personals from yesterday that I wrote at 330am.... I shall have to return to read today..... Did I mention I have Bad December Karma?

*March 21-24th works for me!

*No One eats a brownie square that size Sandra! Don’t bother to calorie count gals – Sandra just did that to torture us!

* Wore jeans last night – VERY GLAD! ALL WIVES WORE JEANS! LOLOLOL



:::::Sandra:::::
“Blissful Pause” – oh you make me relax just reading that! I think that 4-6am is mine! What a great way to look at mid week! I made a promise to myself today to box up all my clothes that do not fit- its torture every event…. I figure if I cant wear jeans or a workout outfit then I have no need to go! ~ I totally missed the end of universe post on OD- that would send some people into a tailspin I’d imagine… LOL- Are you referring to the Crack of Dawn movie? I imagine that in some dark, smoky, nasty rental place somewhere – there IS a movie called that- but I really did just make it up! You could GOOGLE it on your new iMac and see if it’s a rental for the Xer Party! ~ Hope you & the girls got to see Santa & elves at work! There is so much to do with the kids on that site… Its also where I got the BigO Cheesecake Brownies! Speaking of which… OMG your recipe looks divine!!!! I shall make it either this weekend (In Law Part) or next week (TTOM Party) – I have to see if I have all those ingredients on hand. I had to smile about the Xmas card… last year I told Wendell I thought we were being shunned…. We send out cards most years but our receipt of them has dwindled dramatically! He said it started about 2 years after we got married…IS IT ME???? LOL ~~ Call Georgie Porgie!!!!! (that would be President Bush to some) Tell him I don’t need a Tax Free Shopping Weekend I need a CALL CANADA FREE Weekend! BRILLIANT!!! Why don’t YOU run for office?! ~ VERY interesting read about Brandra … I mean Brangelina… I hadn’t heard that! Makes PERFECT sense to me…hmmmmm I wonder if they’ll stop eating and taking home paychecks until the world is free of starving children and poverty???!!??!! Oh that was mean & nasty…just delete me immediately!

:::::Nicole:::::
As much as I think you are truly enjoying this GB experience I am so happy its YOUR WORLD & not mine! Your new meez is the best one yet! It covers so many types of things doesn’t it? PMS, ttom, bad children, no $$, GB Mania, lazy husbands, even telemarketing calls! ~ ROFL Thanks from DH! ROFL ~~~~~Healing Vibes to DS~~~~~~

:::::Jeanette:::::
LOL on the Fancy Marshmallows! I do believe that’s my problem!!! If I just drank black coffee- nope, need cream….. If I just ate a brownie, nope, gotta be with chocolate chips & PB or Cream cheese….. LOL ~~~~ Whats with this running hills BEFORE spinning? MY GAWD what’s wrong with these GB’s?????? They must be distant relatives to Tracy! ~ Glad you got some useful info from the email- sorry it was so long…. Happy Researching!!! ~ EXCELLENT workout day for you! I’m HIGHLY impressed (& perplexed) about going back & getting ARX done! LOL

:::::TRACY:::::
LOL on Deb not chipping more teeth before wedding! I was wondering if that was her strategy… Hear the L word and injure thyself QUICKLY as a diversion! LOL ~ Good job sucking up the pain and getting 4DS done! Do you cuss on those kind of hard days? Do you moan more???? I wonder if any “real” people are graceful & dignified while working out? ~ I feel so fortunate that DH loves sandwiches… that’s his favorite thing to eat and if there is anything at all that resembles bread he’ll make ANYTHING into a sandwich…. That’s my fallback meal when I just cant fathom cooking 2 separate meals… ~~ Is the DS you run with the same one that has O/W GF? How is that situation & surgery talk?

:::::Debra:::::
Where do I start with you??? I am GIDDY about all this CB &L talk! I feel like a school girl giggling so much!!!! Are YOU having half as much fun with all this as we are????? Your Meez is not hiding under a rock so I assume you are enjoying it just an itty bitty bit.. What girl wouldn’t???? ~ You can always tell CB that you are emotionally drained from Kitty problems and that you cant possibly “go there” until we know what the prognosis is. ~ Wine & Mallows??? You and Sandra go right ahead … I shall be having BIG O Brownies of some sort with my wine! – He)) you can even hold the wine- just give me BigO’s!~ Glad the tooth issue is being laid to rest… You’d like a bumpkin bride for sure! ~ YOU started the transgender!!! You said Carol Beth & HE in same sentence… Laurie took it and we ran with that one!


:::::TeddyGirl:::::
What’s the status on Xmas shopping????? I feel like you- lets just get it done! LOL
I so hope you can join us for an X trip… its just a weekend so shoot Ted can handle things on the home front!

Back to read TODAY much later...:*

 

[Teddygirl]

Sandra: That’s a brilliant ideal, truth is, I really don’t remember how effective P90X legs was it has been so long, I “DO” remember I didn’t care for it, that was then this is nowx( This weekend I’m going to preview it, I could get the best of both worlds, I shall see, Thank you

 

[Cole7626]

YogaX

I like Thursdays because I get to come home and get a few chores done before my workout. I wait to do yoga until DS is down for a nap.

Oh shoot, DS's school just called and said he just took a turn for the worse. He was fine this morning but now he has a fever}x Just what I wanted to do, drive 40 extra miles today!

I'll be back,

Nicole

Bring it!!!

[/url]

 

[Teddygirl]

Tracie: I bet you looked so cute in your jeans, were they tight momma? I'm going to JCPenny tonight, or on my lunch, or may leave early to beat the traffic. I seen a lotion set valued at $75 on sale for $30 going to get that for my son Antwand woman. See brought me an Ipod for Xmas, when she asked what I wanted it was between Cathe new workouts or Ipod, Ipod rule! need one for cardio coach treadmill workouts.

 

[teddy16410]

HO HO HO

They put my nephew in ICU this morning…lung and blood sugar complications…. Looking at about 2 weeks there…. My niece is extremely peaceful- she called me and said… “Auntie I know Matthew will be fine because you sent all the angels to be at his side…”… OK- Know I’m a blubbering mess!

The extra freezer with ALL THE FISH went out – my laundry room smells like a fish store gone bad……….Its gonna be a LONG day!

Did I mention I have Bad December Karma?


Todays Chat- better catch up before I crash hard….. I think today is sleep until my client arrives…. Severe deprivation has hit-

:::::Sandra:::::
Oh Fluid Power a little extra for me pleeeeeease! ~ you’d think we lived in BFE wouldn’t you??? Actually the problem is DH’s business computers being routed thru MY friggin house lines! If he’d move them to his office then my life would be fine! It’s a technical thing he always trys to explain but I tell him…. I could give a rip about WHY it happens- make it STOP HAPPENING! LOL ~ Cortisol levels decrease with adrenal stress & thyroid deficiency & general life stress & excess exercise & yes age… apparently we only produce it from 2am-3am so whatever your body uses throughout the day can easily put you into a deficit…. Since I am waking up at 3pm again my body is using up wha little I make by 5am… The preferred level is 15-20 and mine is at 4.2….. yep- I need help! Since I have both adrenal failure + thyroid issues + life stress + I’m old…. Its all a factor….. See why I refuse to add the excessive exercise to the equation? Remember low cortisol creates excess mid section belly fat so extra hard workouts for someone like me create a larger body fat % mid section…. ~~ I am so excited about the new calendars!!! Actually I bought some new pretty smiley face stickers to use – Your post office talk to Netta today cracked me up!

:::::Nicole:::::
Happy yoga day woman and VERY sorry about the 40 miles extra + now having to play nurse… XXOO

:::::Jeanette:::::
Very nice yoga practice today. ROF about the pee break! You are just so funny!

:::::TeddyGirl:::::
Good girl getting your AM workout! Have a great time with legs tomorrow!! Yes- as Jeanette asked…Is ted honoring your agreements?

:::::Laurie:::::
I am so glad I am not a parent! All it takes is one kid at school that says they “get this” or “have that” and I think the pressure starts! Don’t you recall believing you could wear your parents down on every issue? ~ Does a day off tomorrow mean we wont see you for 3 days???? ENJOY YOURSELF!



:::::Carol:::::
What shall I do with you? I give you the PERFECT out and ya go & do doubles day! LOL You are certainly not the Lazy Xer are you? Keep that mini van safe in a garage!

:::::Debra:::::
Good luck with the car repairs!!!

 

[Teddygirl]

Tracie and Jeannett

Have you seen Wii commerical, grandma runs off the football field with team members and she says "THIS IS MY HOUSE" its funny. The point, who TED, this is my house:+ ;(

No problems:9

#########################
What weekend our you guys talking about meeting and where

 

[taprice]

Hi,

Today is my rest day and I'm taking tomorrow off to do some shopping. I just can't sit through another meeting.

Traci - Sorry about the baby. Was he a preamie? Medical care is so good now, I'm sure he will be fine. So how do they go about increasing your corisol levels? The DS that runs with me is younger DS and not the one with the overweight GF. That DS is not very active, although he is trying to integrate exercise, but he did loose 50lbs on his own about 2 years ago and has been able to keep it off. GF has already set a date for the surgery. I feel bad because I was not very excited when she told me. She hasn't been over since. Yeap, DH will also make a sandwich, but it is always PB and honey.

Nicole - Sorry about the extra car time. I'm sure that messes with your plans. How is the back? Better? You haven't commented lately.

Sandra - I got a chuckle out of the bad making allowance thing. That is the thing about behavior management plans; they have to be modified every so often or the reward looses it's effectiveness. If she didn't have any other way to get anything, she might still be doing it, but it probably would be harder to implement the plan, than just make the bed yourself. I agree about Fluid Power. I think the easier stuff is harder on Fluid Power, just because of the movement, but Shakti does have many more arm balances that I probably will never be able to do.

Laurie- At 18 I have just gotten Ds to help with the dishes without asking. I can tell you that it wasn't for a lack of trying. It's not consistent, but just when I don't expect it, the kitchen will be clean or the dishwasher emptied.

jeanette - Do you do all of the clothes shopping for DH? My Mom always bought everything my dad ever wore. It's probably 1/2 and 1/2 for me.

Debra - Waiting for an L report.

I have to go, class is starting.

Tracy

 

[aschendell]

As usual...you guys are cracking me up today! I have been a busy bee...well, maybe not all that busy, but doing enough errands that I haven't had time for a chat until now. Let's see...to report...Kitty has Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome with an excess of mucus in her colon....doesn't that sound pleasant?? Anyhoo....we will follow the same course of treatment we have already been doing...just amping up the drugs a bit. We had a great time with the marshmallows and firepit last night. The girls had a blast! CB and I also had a great time together...as usual. No chipped teeth to report. My car is still at the shop and getting lots of stuff done to the tune of about $900!!! OUCH!

I ended up doing Kenpo today...I always enjoy that one! I got my heart rate up and felt a good burn in my arms and shoulders. I will do Slo Mo legs tomorrow and then I am taking a day off on Saturday. I don't think I have taken a full day off since last Wednesday. DD, my mom and I are going to a local production of the Nutcracker on Saturday...then CB and I are going out Saturday night since DD has a thing at her gymnastics place.

Everyone...double check your calendars...I think the weekend of March 21 is Easter...Let me know if I am wrong...If it's not Easter then that is a fine time for me.


Tracy...
Your post last night gave me a huge chuckle this morning!! Don't buy a new dress yet...I'm not even divorced! There is a year waiting period in NC after separation before a divorce can be finalized. Yes, CB would definitely be mortified if he knew what I was writing...I believe he thinks I'm weird for having these online friends anyway...I told him I thought you guys would be coming for a retreat in the spring and He couldn't believe it. Anyway...he wouldn't know which website to get on...or which thread to look at...I am not that specific when I talk about you guys!! I am not sure what the difference is between a phone L and an in person L...I will have to give some thought to that! Sorry your legs were feeling so tired yesterday. Good you are taking the day off tomorrow...enjoy it!!


Jeanette...
So glad you enjoyed your session with the Garage Boys last night!! I am sure I will reply with the L word to CB soon...This dating thing is not for sissies, that's for sure!!! It has been 15 years since I have been on the dating scene. We had graham crackers and Hershey's, too, last night. My hygienist yesterday was really old...I have never had a hygienist that old...but she was also the most gentle one I have ever had! LOL about having to go pee before shavasana...I always head to the restroom before my yoga class!! It was just easier to have the loaner so that CB didn't have to follow me to the dealership. He already has to take me to pick up XDH's car sometime over the weekend.


Nicole....
Dear woman...your meez gave me a huge laugh today! So sorry your DS is under the weather...even sorrier you had to make an extra trip! Your DH's response to your first L word is such a classic...why didn't I think of that...LOL?!? Weather is back an forth here in March...but I certainly wouldn't call it cold.


Sandra...
I am sure you are jumping around with your DD right now...and making all of the other mom's seethe with jealousy! Glad your body was so appreciative of the yoga...I always feel the same way. LOL about your post office post...I was the same way about my car...My dad just always took care of the cleaning, oil changes, etc....and I never really knew when that was happening....so after college I guess I just expected the car to take care of itself and I burned up the motor in it since I never changed the oil....Ooops! The engine actually caught on fire....while I was driving it. And no...it was not the diva's fault...CB actually spent the night last night...which he NEVER does if DD is home...and I ended up getting a bit late of a start. Still contemplating the phone L and in person L...will have to get back to you guys on that. You must actually try to make it to the post office so that you can get your passport!


Traci...
So sorry to hear that your nephew is going to have to be in the hospital for a while...DD was 6 weeks preemie and she had to stay for 2 weeks in the NICU...but she turned out just fine! I am sure he will be okay....it's tough for the mom, though, to have to leave your new babe while you go home. You and the December karma!!! Good gracious! Glad the party wasn't overly traumatic last night. Why does the doc think your various levels are so far off?? I get the cortisol issue...but aren't you deficient with some other hormones, too, or am I remembering incorrectly? I have been giggling like a school girl a lot with CB, too....I guess that is a good thing at this point in my life! LOL about the bumpkin bride...what a nice mental image that gave me.


Carol...
So glad you are feeling better today! I am sure the mini van will hold up well in the wintry mix.


Laurie...So glad you get an extra day off!!! What are your girls wanting for the holidays this year?? LOL about the allowance situation...maybe you can offer them a dollar for washing the dishes last night...LOL! You also cracked me up by dumping the poor boy who said the L word too soon...poor guy!


Teddygirl.....Waving as you run through...We are thinking we will all meet at my place in NC...in early spring as it is looking right now....I'm telling you..we need Ted to be our chef for the weekend!


Good golly....I do believe I am caught up for now!! Hope everyone is having a relaxing evening. I need to go finish up dinner so we actually get to eat a real meal tonight instead of pizza and marshmallows!

Just really quick.............


Debra is correct, Easter is that weekend. How about the first weekend in April? I think DH can get two days off to take care of the boys. Let me know what you all think.

I hope to pop in tomorrow but it's going to be a busy day. I have to take the boys to school, cut my brother's hair at 8:30, workout, get ready, go to my other brother's graduation from fire academy, go to dinner then come home, crash and call it a day!!
Whew, I'm tired just writing it


Traci-X, Congrats on the new niece! How is your nephew doing? How old is he? I hate seeing little ones in the hospital for so long No, we don't eat the gb house. We actually kept the one from last year until this October. The ants found it in the garage so I tossed it DH wanted to save it so he could blow it up


Debra, Sounds like you and CB are attached at the hip I still would like to put a face with a name! Pictures, pictures, pictures!! Sorry you're feeling punky. I have TTOM coming on Christmas so I should be a joy the week before


Sandra, You are so crafty That would be a good Halloween gb house. I looked up the classes at Michael's and they are on Saturdays. It just may work. Isn't yoga great?


Tracy, My back is actually bugging me this week but it's my fault because I didn't go to PT. I just didn't have time and they charge $25 if you don't give 24 hrs. notice before canceling. I knew this week would be too hectic and couldn't guarantee my getting there. I have to go next week for sure. Have fun shopping tomorrow!


Carol, Hope your new van did well in the weather. I guess that's a scary thing to test Way to practice doing doubles


Laurie, You and Tracy will be shopping together in spirit tomorrow Have fun! I wish I could join too but tomorrow is a busy, busy day.


Teddygirl, An Ipod? Too cool! She must be looking to score points with her future MIL


Jeanette, Hope you enjoyed yoga today! Did you have fun at Wal Mart? I stay away from there as often as possible. I go to Costco or Target. I find myself leaving with tons of stuff I didn't need.

Have a good night all,

Nicole

Bring it!!!

Nicole...You didn't mention DS...but I guess if the boys are going to school tomorrow, he must be feeling better. CB is out with friends tonight, actually. He's coming by tomorrow after work to take me to get XDH's truck from the shop. How much longer until the GB house is complete?? And how long do your guys get to enjoy it after it is done?? I guess your boys like to help eat the treats as they go on the house! Good luck with your hectic day tomorrow..Hope everything goes smoothly.


The first weekend in April is great for me....everyone chime in and I will send some more airport/transportation info. Keep your fingers crossed that ttom starts in the morning....I don't want to be grouchy and bloated all weekend!
