Traci-X: I'll cycle back to being in sync with you and everyone on this check-in! Apparently, my body likes to spread the Sister Love with my 24+- day cycle.
Take it easy these next few days. They are always the worst for me too. I know I pumped out a double the day prior to Aunt Flo's arrival. However, all I did the next day was sleep and eat. THE BLOG! Yes!!! I'm more excited about the possibility of a limited edition clothing line!!!!!
I'm such a girl! You called it! Back in my mind, I figured he would sign up! Heck! If it wasn't for me, he'd already be in boot camp signed up for as a nuclear/chemical researcher. Oh! Yeah! He came home from visiting one of the local units telling me all about it. Then I made him talk to Col. Kilner from West Point about it. Once he heard that he'd have to dawn a gas mask and rubber suit for the rest of his military life, he quickly changed his mind!!!! I guess my fashion sense rubbed off on him! LOL :7 OH! MY! WORD! A peeping tom!!! Ewwww! I stopped walking around naked after someone broke into my house. It was New Year's Eve 2003. All the kids were at their respective grandparents. Phil went to get me DDcoffee. I was in the upstairs bathtub. I heard a noise and thought it was the phone. So, I stop the water and the didn't hear the phone. I went downstairs in the buff to get the phone in case they called back. Before I turned the water back on, I heard footsteps on my dining room wood floors. I thought it was strange since I didn't hear the car pull up. So, I start shouting Phil's name. Nothing! Next thing I hear is a car, presumably Phil, pulling up our driveway. Then I KNEW it wasn't Phil walking around my house. So, I start SCREAMING that I was going to call the police and dialed 911. The person heard the car and saw the headlights from the back door. So, he/she? went out the front door. I could hear the door open and close. Well, the police were at my house in less than 2 minutes! (We live on the same road as the police station.) I get so angry thinking about what Phil was doing while I was in danger!!! He was sitting in the car listening to the football game on the radio!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, when the police pulled up, they were focusing on Phil while the intruder escaped through the front door!!!! I've never quite forgiven Phil. Anyhow, my purse was still sitting untouched on my dining room table in plain view. I have no idea what the intruder wanted or if he saw me naked when I went to get the phone. I didn't care if he saw me naked. (I was skinny then. lol) I was pissed that he was in my house!!! I don't take showers or baths while alone in the house anymore.
Deep breath! Anyhoo.... Loved your CC experience! I LOL while squirming about the rats! EWWWW! The bunnies testing your brakes reminds me of when my best friend and I biked a forest trail in NW PA. Only it was the deer who played chicken with us!
Tracy-X: Check you out! Your workout looked tough! I agree about springing back into plank. Eion and the "red thong in white pants" lady make it look so easy and graceful! Maybe, a thong almost fully visible from the top of Lululemon pants would add grace to my spring! LOLOLOL }( From my understanding it's a lifetime of duty. They can call him up anytime. That's what our West Point professor friend told me. As far as what the recruiter told me, I recall four years. I could be wrong. I'll have to ask ds.
Amy: You are such a lovely lady! Run! Amy! Run!
When is the 5K scheduled? Today? Oh! I see it WAS today!! Wow that's impressive! You should consider coaching. You are very sweet and motivating! So glad to have you on this check-in!!!
Nicole-X: Did I miss something? I have to go back and read all of yesterday's personals. I take it that you have no AC? Aren't you in CA? Get thee an AC!!! We've only needed our AC two days this year. Which is good considering electricity isn't cheap and my fetish for retail therapy. ;-)
Swift Amy: Hope you are having a festive 4th!
Laurie-X: Jada is precious! We adopted Baby from the pound last Nov. She was 6 years old. I can't believe her previous owners got rid of her because she didn't get along with their new puppy! It angers me that they did that to her!! She was at the pound on a cold concrete floor and NO ONE showed any interest in her until we came MONTHS later. She had the BEST personality of ALL the other dogs there!!! She has proved to be a well behaved dog with moments of uncontrolled joy! ;-) I have no doubt that Jada will be loved and cherished by your family! Eldest ds is trying to see if his chemistry scores will allow him to pursue a pharmacy position. He's studying his chemistry book right now. I hope your beading pictures turn out clear. I'd love to see your handiwork too!
Cheryl: Like a homeowner, you can't call the landlord whenever something breaks huh? I have so much respect for you running your own company and being a single mom AND diligently working out! Amazing that you find the time to check-in.
Sandra-X: I haven't read all of yesterday's personals. I take it that you're busy as a bee these days. I'm positive that you are getting everything on your to-do list accomplished.
Debra-X: Glad you are getting nicely settled into your new home. I was thinking about you yesterday while reading "A Southern Belle Primer". I'm officially NOT a Southern Belle. I don't have the silver for it, nor would I chose such gaudy patterns!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a simple, tacky-tacky, Northerner with no ambition to join the Junior League or have my dds become royalty of some local parade or contest! I can live happy with that "cute" thought! ;-) Not that being a Southern Belle is a bad thing. ;-) ;-)
Well, I've monopolized the computer long enough. Ds has taken a test in the middle of my typing. I better post before he accidentally loses my post.
Ballistic HUGS to ALL!!!!
Wendy
