Hello everyone,
very tired this morning. Stayed up past midnight w/ a nap snuck in there to watch the WWE hall of fame between the net and the tv. Decided to not take the sleeping pills and woke up around 4:45. Hope to take a nap later. Since I'm up I'll go and do some laundry. Seems knee is a bit better when the brace is on. Will try for a longer walk today. Got a 1/2 hr walk and 1/2 hr strider in yesterday. did well w/h20 yesterday.

Xan- I was wonder if that was the stacking was, saw some news story on it once a upon a time. Hope doggie is better today
Sue- thanks for the advice for the soymilk. sending positive vibes about dh's job. what a time for this to happen.(((HUGS)))

take care everyone and have a great day
Lizzy

Good Morning Ladies.

I am pretty tired this morning. Kevin and I had a very nice talk last night on the phone(2 1/2 hours).....we haven't talked like this is quite a while....must fess up, we had a bit of an argument the other night with him hanging up on me, and of course my sending an email yesterday for him to thoroughly understand where I was coming from...in simple male language. LOL He understood and felt horrible.
Also last night, Jess' friend slept over. Do any of you with a wii have HS Musical Sing It? If you don't have it....karaoke on the wii with only HSM songs. Need I say more?
And Garrett had practice at this field I had never been to...lo and behold perfectly paved road, not alot of hills and there were people rollerblading!!!! I very well might bring mine the next time he has practice there.

So on tap for today is not much. We are going to the Y later to go swimming, so I will count that as my exercise for today for sure. I won't be able to do many laps because of keeping my eye on Garrett, but I will do exercises there in the shallow end.

Not sure what we are eating this evening, but I TOM is coming really soon so I am going to try to keep it light and low in sodium.

Lizzy.......I am glad that brace is working out for you!! Do you have a resistence band? Maybe do some exercise with it to strenghten the knee. Wrap the band around the ankles and then do some single leg lifts. Another one, wrap it around the very top of the knees and use it like you would one of those thighmasters.

Em........Kevin will be going to Cooper. He knows that J has been there as they talked about it that night at dinner.

Alright....need my coffee....be back in a bit.

Hello everyone,
back from an incident free laundromat run. whoo hoo need to record that for the record books. May go around later and try to find a hooded spring wt jacket. I have some but none w/ a hood that still is in good condition. Not sure if ex & I are getting together today. Probably will be short since wrestlemania is on tonight. Going to try out my new sneaks and the brace on a walk in a few. Still need to baby things a bit

Jen- great news about being able to rollerblade. glad you and dh could air things out. have a relaxing day

take care everyone and have a good one
Lizzy

Lizzy.....I used to hate going to the laundromat! Glad it was uneventful for you.
Yeah...I am happy about the rollerblading too. There is a trail here in town, but it it not long at all and the only scenary is the factories there. At least this one is in a park and definately a bit longer....its not really a trail though, it is a road, so I am kind of iffy about traffic.

Mornin,

The dogs are fed, the cats are fed, the horses are fed...but I'm not fed . Need coffeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Wanted to check in real quick before I head to my meeting. Not alot on tap today, but lots of running around. Meeting is 45 min away (keep reminding me I'm worth the time..), need to go grocery shopping, do laundry, yada yada yada, blah blah blah. And while I'm whining, WTH is spring???????? I'm freezing my you know what's off here. I want daffodils, tulips, sunshine, WARMTH!

I am not traveling this week, so I will definitely be getting the old exercise in. Hey, where's Terry? Is she at a horse show or something?

Jen - glad you and Kev had a long talk. Jim and I had a similar one a few weeks ago for like 3 hours when I finally "confessed" that I wanted to open my own derm clinic when my non-compete was over. I hadn't been talking about it around him b/c I figured he'd wonder what the hell I was thinking when I have a good job, solid company, and you want to start your own place??? He was great though. Cool about the rollerblading. I remember how much you used to enjoy that!

Lizzy - did you reinjure the knee or is this the same knee that's been bothering you? Poor thing! Try and get a nap today friend! Thanks for the PM about the exercise...I will be there this week!

Anna - Morning Hope you don't have to work long today! Your "now and forever" made me think of Air Supply....boy many a break up cry to those songs.

Xan - ok, I laughed out loud at xanax being xan backwards and forward! I want your name...think how mellow I could be all the time How's the pup this morning? Bland diet today mommy...

Cheryl - have a great day!

Sue - hang in there buddy! Sending lots of love your way.

Terry - where the heck are you? Miss Tongo completely ran me over yesterday and I ended up on my rather rotund butt in the mud. Jim came around the corner with a bag of feed and it spooked her and she bolted. I of course just happened to be in front of her at the time and landed flat out. Jim could barely stop laughing long enough to come pull me up b/c after she plowed me down, she came back (I like to think that it was to see if I was ok, but I know it was just because he was holding the grain) and smacked her hoof down and sprayed mud up into my face....I was a sight. Nothing injured except my ego. And that wasn't too big to start with .

Ok, gotta go shower and head to my meeting. I'm not anxious for a new starting weight that includes clothes . Have a good one guys!

Lori T

Barb - sounds like a cool gym...a rock wall! Wow! How is Chy doing with her heartbreak?

Morning Lori! You ARE worth the 45 min drive on a sunday morning for a meeting!!!! Terry was at a horse show yesterday, I know that. I do not blame you for wanting to open your own practice. Traveling as much as you do is very very hard. I did it for a while before I had Jess and I also have Kevin who is gone 7 months out of the year, I know what you are going through. You are awesome with animals and that truly is your calling....after all you had switched from HR and went to school for this! Plus all the time and energy that you put in to pass those boards!!!!! Maybe you could build a seperate building on your property for it...or are you too far out of town for that? Yeah I would love to be able to rollerblade again. One thing that does have me worried though is how my knee will hold up, but all I can do is try and do it slowly and wear my brace.

Hello everyone,
back again from the walk, knee is twinging a bit. walked father than I intended, just shy of 2 miles. Nothing that advil and activeon can't hurt
Lori. both knees hurt not and then. just the left one more, reinjured it last friday when I had my day off and walked the beach a bit. oy about miss tongo!! gl w/ the meeting.
Jen- everything is falling apart @ this laundromat, i like it because pretty quiet when I go and no weird people for the most part.bummer about the trail about being a road. just keep your eyes peeled. I had ankle wts before the flood trashed them but knee would start acting up. so had to stop

alrighty need to get a shower in
BBL

Lizzy....good job on the walk! No, I didn't mean ankle weights. I mean the big rubber band things. You can get them in the exercise area at walmart and even in the pharmacy because they use these in physical therapy. The same exercises too...thats why I suggested that. Yeah I do need to keep my eyes peeled if I skate there...luckily it is not a main road though. Actually, I am more looking forward to using my new bike!

Good morning gals! So far sounds like everyone is having a good Sunday, I hope it keeps up.

Well yesterday my boys each got a Wal Mart gift card in them mail from my sister so of course they want to go spend them TODAY! We shall see. I took them to the park yesterday and ended up there for about 5 hours, my friends who their hubby work for the Enrichment (uranium) Facility that is being built here were having a bbq, and so I crashed it and met some very nice folks. There was one guy who was from NY originally who now lives (normally) in PA was there and he was so funny. We had a great time talking. I also met the funniest girl, from Seattle. She had us all cracking up. She used to hang out with the Seahawks kicker! Not much planned for me today, should be fairly boring. I'll check back with y'all later.

Lizzy: glad you got the laundry done with no drama. Hope the knee holds up! Have a good day. Oh while we were at my friends the boys were on the trampoline doing every kind of wrestling move they could think of, they are so silly.

Jen: Good thing you and Kevin had such a great talk. Hope you have a good time at the Y. I was telling Liz the other day I am kind of jealous of you being able to run down to your Y and do whatever kind of workout you can. That is so awesome. Have a good day.

Lori: You are SOOOOO worth the 45 minute drive! You are worth soooo much more! You keep up with that meeting. Can I tell you without you getting mad, it is supposed to be almost 90 here today. I will send some sunshine to you if you can send some rain here. We are in desperate need of moisture! Have a great day!

All the other buddies, have a great Sunday! {{{HUGS}}} to all!

Cheryl......oh don't be jealous! LOL Trust me, if it weren't for the fact that I got laid off, this wouldn't be happening. And my Y is certainly not state of the art by any means, although there is one that is about 15 miles from here that is. I am trying to talk my parents into joining that one so they can start doing something and get out to meet other fossils their age. hehehe If I can talk them into that, then I would start going down to theirs. Hey I am originally from NY and now living in PA too! So is Sue!!!!
Sounds like you had fun crashing that party!
