Now onto some more personals.
Laurie-X: What birthstone is March? I'm sure whatever it is, it's prettier than lime green, peridot. My brood includes: 3 August, 2 September and one odd time -- New Year Eve Baby. How sweet that your dd made you a matching bracelet! I'm wearing mine today too.
Gotta love the jewelery gifts from our children! One year, my youngest son bought me a plastic ring for my bd. I went to put it on and it broke. I think his little heart broke too. I kept telling him it was fine and I'd try to fix it. Poor thing! I see you get to celebrate your bd 3 days before mine. Jen (Fitness Mom) gets to celebrate her bd with me and the rest of the Cathe Roadtrippers this August! Lucky her!!! Hopefully, the MOM van will get a break this summer. But, if your girl changes her mind and joins the swim team, I know you won't complain like I would. ;-) You're such a supportive mother!!!
Mary: My sister's bd is in May. I was always so jealous of her birthstone too. Gosh, with all my seething jealousy, you'd think I was the middle born child. }( Two days till the X! You're gonna love it! Your birthday is so close to Valentine's Day! Do you ever feel cheated because of it? We have to hurry up and remove all traces of Christmas for my middle, New Year's Eve, son. At least, if you get any money or gift cards, that's a great time of the year to find sales!
Welcome Lily!!! Congrats on pushing play! Perfectionist? No, because I'm controlling. Ha-Ha But, I hear it's in a good way. ;-) Please share your day 1 pictures. It's a great way to stay committed until Phase 1 is finished if you share where you've started. How's that for encouragement! LOL Which rotation will you be doing? Classic, Lean or Doubles? Are you going to use the X diet? I didn't. But, I've been taking baby steps towards better eating. Hope you join in full force for support! We'd love to cheer you along the way.
Sandra-X: How's your eyes doing today? I gave up embroidery for awhile cuz of all those tiny stitches. I'm sure focusing on lice would be worse. Did you ever see the South Park episode on lice? OH! It was the FUNNIEST. They compared the lice's world coming to an end to Al Gore's campaign on global warming and environmental abuse. The other lice wouldn't listen to the "Gore" lice and they all perished. Oh! The things that people think of! How much fat do you want to lose? Or should I ask, how many pounds would you need to lose before your abs were flat enough to bulk up? And, do you think that the rotation would matter as much if the diet was better? The more I think of all those different types of rotations, the happier I am to have the X do the thinking for me. I can see a positive change in my body without all the intense cardio or major overhaul on my diet. I'm not sure what I'll do before starting another X round. I think I'll try to stick with a faux X rotation for a month. But, I am considering doing a circuit roation for a month first. I still have time to mull it over. Hopefully, I'll be better able to access what to do based on what my body will look like on Day 90.
Amy: You dinner yesterday sounded so yummy!!! :9 Does the 22nd make you a Virgo? I'm thinking the reason whoever picked peridot for August was a Leo who wanted to blaringly stand out! I'd prefer that Leo would have picked the diamond!!! So, you like Shiva? Which dvd is it that you have? I think I'll hold off on Shiva till I have more energy to put into learning her style. Hope the rain holds off so you can get some planting done with your MIL.
Jeanette-X: How exciting to meet up with the everyone on the triathlon team. Why do I always want to type triathlon like this: triathalon? Must be the way I pronounce it in my head. Glad your dd called you with a very good reason. Manure on the phone doesn't sound very sanitary!!! I didn't know you adopted. I think that is wonderful! I wish I could too. But, I doubt anyone or the government would allow me to. LOL I think you'll be fine to make the CC on Wednesday if you make sure to keep it chilled until Saturday. You'll be glad that you didn't eat any before the birthday boy on Saturday. It tastes 100% better chilled down to a denser form than the one pictured!!! You know, I can't imagine myself working out in shorts. I like to cover up my cellulite ya know! But! Now that the warmer season is upon us, I LOVE my Be Present Agility pants!!! I feel so free and naked!
The material is so thin and loose. The material has a nice stretch and is gathered at the knee; not too much to be noticeable. When I bend over, there's ZERO tugging. And the material wicks sweat and drys SUPER DUPER FAST! I can't bring myself to wear the tighter Lululemon pants as much anymore. I think these are my new FAVORITE pair of pants!!! The capri ones are going on my wish list!!!
Tracy-X: Can you be more excited???? I almost passed over your little remark about getting an ELIPICAL MACHINE!!!! Doing the Happy Dance for you!!! That should really be easy on your joints and help remove you from the IL!
Oh, I need to get on your case. I'd like to see a picture of you too! You can email it to me or send it snail mail if you'd like. The choice is yours! ;-) Here's the link to the yoga studio where I got my Mother's Day presents.

Traci-X: ROFL about Oxy Butt! I have that one too!!! It's currently hiding it's butt in my computer desk. It comes out every once in awhile when no one is around to look too! LOL I *think* Phil knows I bought it. But, he'd be too embarrassed to read it around me. Now, I'm wondering if he sneaks a peek at it when I'm not around? Hmmm? I still don't get the connection? Why wouldn't the X be conductive to a perfectionist personality? Is it because Tony yells during Yoga? LOL Another purchase! Was it too sad when you realized SSExpress was the last expected delivery? Girl, you and I need to get some couseling for our retail therapy! ;-)
Cheryl: Tomorrow Start Day! Yippee!!! Post all about it! Can't wait!;-)
Nicole: I'm giggling about your physically active boys waking you up! My boys were the same way when they were younger! Just wait until their teenage years! It's payback time! They'll want to sleep in till noon if you let them. Girl! You best hint louder for workout clothes! ;-) I sweat tooo much to workout in cotton. I think the only reason why I continue to exercise is so that I can wear my workout clothes. What's sad is that I hate to sweat wearing them! LOL It's a sad sad cycle. Maybe, that's why I workout so LATE. Oh! You should have seen me 8 years ago. I was much smaller back then! We were watching old home movies of me sled ridding with my dc, nephews and neices!!! It took all of us awhile to figure out which one was me! You know what. It's easier for me now with 6 than it was when my 3 boys were younger!!! Once your boys grow older, they'll be more of a help than work for you! It used to bother me when people would comment on the number of kids I had. Now, I embrace it. I love having this many children. I wish I could have more. My sister has 6 dc too. You should see us during holidays. The kids all get together and play football or softball. I think they keep us young.
Debra-X: Congrats on matching Cathe on SH!!! I was doubting I could when I previewed it last night with Phil. Oh Debra! Take a peep at the clothing links! You know you want to! And, they make for cuter pictures! Everyone's so busy looking at the clothes that they don't look at your body or hair! LOL Don't you ever want to ask what our men are thinking? I'm always telling Phil that he should want me to dress like a librarian out in public instead!!! How is your dd doing today home from school? I hope her chest gets cleared up fast!!!
Well, there's more I wanted to say, but already forgot! Oh! Teddygirl, Um you bought clear heeled shoes???? Please explain!!! Hi to the rest of our lovely growing X group!
Ballistic Hugs to All while I can still move my biceps! ;-)
Wendy
