Jen-you'll work it out. Amazingly, you have done it before while working, and you'll be able to do it again. It's just going to require more creativity.
Or, dare I say, maybe you're not ready to go back to work? I know this would be too good to pass up, close to home and at almost your old salary...

I thought Ali kicked butt. I told ya she looked like she was down another 20 or so. Crazy. She's been working out at every gym in town...and she's on all the morning shows today. I'm thinking I'll be wearing pink to the gym today I have to admit that when she was talking about her troubles and how she found herself in the kitchen dipping into several diff flavors of frozen yogurt...my first reaction was wtf is that stuff doing in your house????

OK, kid is up and watching Pokemon. Must get him some breakfast and get my cycling duds on.

Terry-WAKE UP GIRL, isn't it like 10 am your time??

Ok, getting caught up around the house...I even sheared the kid...man, did he need it...I'd been letting it get really long to cover up the ringworm spot that has yet to grow hair back, so he looks a little patchy, oh well! lol...

Got the major coffee shakes...I bought some espresso roast from starbucks the other day and I'm flying...god for a girl who couldn't stand the taste of coffee 6 months ago...hell, the stronger the better now! with a teasp. of splenda of course! anywhooo...off to fold some laundry...

hey Sue, Barb and Terry!

OK....for the booted off people, Bernie won. I had honestly been hoping that Curtis would win that, but Bernie is good too! Curtis and his wife looked fantastic!!! Brittany was steamy hot! hehe
I'm with you Sue.....I wish I could workout 8 hours a day too! Geez I just like my 1 1/2 hour workouts!!! I am going to miss them!!!!!! WAAAAHHHHHH!

I think my biggest problem with the job is this.....I have become a spoiled brat! Never in my life have I ever not had to work.....this is a first. Growing up, Dad had the deli....day off from school, meant day at the deli. Didn't get along with parents as a teenager....so I worked to stay out of the house. Adult life, always had to be the breadwinner. This is the first time I can chill and was liking the freedom. So like I said, I think I am just being a spoiled sport and need to come down to earth. But honestly, I don't know how the hell I am going to be able to get any kind of workouts in during the week. Barb, you mentioned at the ballfield doing something....the field is all on a hill and there is no place to walk. You can't even walk the perimeter of the fields because you are literally in the street and fenced and you can't get back into the fields on the 3 sides, then the other problem is, it isn't a block.....the back part starts the woods. If this were the football field, this would be a non issue as I would be on the track right there.
I can't even walk during work because trust me, the neighborhood is not safe at all.....plus if I take a lunch, it would just mean I have to stay later.

Oh and Kevin is not sympathetic at all. He said when he gets off the road, well he could help by cooking dinner, but as I said to him...thats great and a help for feeding him and the rest of the family, but I still have to cook for me unless he is going to pop open a weight watcher cookbook and cook something that I can eat.

Sue.......I can't wait to use that gel seat!!! Very excited! My ride today is going to be about 6 miles. Have you ever gone onto mapmyrun.com? I found this and it is pretty cool and mapped out my bike ride and the paved trail by my house in case I want to attempt to skate. Be glad that there are no gf's yet!!! I am ready to scream around here from that.

Nikki.....Kevin sheared Garrett before he left...thank god because it was rediculous.

Alrighty.....I need to figure out meals for next week.

Hey chick-a-dees! I have missed you!! The beach was wonderful. The weather was gorgeous and the kids all got along better than expected. I ate pretty well and got in a few runs along the beach. There were a few times that differing parenting styles got on my nerves, but I jsut took a deep breathe or a walk and moved on. It has been hard to get back into the swing of things since getting back - lots to catch up on. And we leave a week from today to head to TN fro my reunion. Need to spend some time catching up o what happened while I was gone.

Jen~ What's this about work? I thought you were taking the summer off.

Terry~ I have officially fallen in love with the beaches in your neck of the woods. Okay, so I was a bit farther north, but close enough. I may have to make it an anual spring trip.

Nik~ I thought of you while I was gone becaue we stayed on an island with a one lane bridge. They were doing some construction and it was closed one night so we were stuck on the island. I thought what happens if there is a medical emergency. What do you guys do in the winter?

Lizzy~ Glad you are feeling rejuvenated. Hope it lasts.

Barb~ There are two Bush girls... maybe one was at school.... Good question.

Sue~ Summer??? What happened to spring? Enjoy your day working out, at the park, etc...

BBL...

Hey Em! Glad you had a great trip! We are heading to the ocean in July, can't wait! So there is two Bush girls huh? I thought so. So what she couldn't take a day off of school to meet the pope? Strange, I would have written her teacher a note! LOL!

Jen~ Bummer about the playing field! I know you will come up with something!

Just can't seem to get myself going today! I better try at least. Got a call from this lady who wants to be in PTA with me but she is a little intimidating! You know how goofy I am and she seems very organized! Oh geeze! Can't do much about my personality so she'll just have to deal with me

Ok be back after I get a report down

b

Hey Em!
Yes..I am going to start working on Monday. There was a job listed on the unemployment website that is only 25 mins from the house, making the same amount of $$ I was making in Pittsburgh, so I figured I couldn't pass up applying for that on the chance I could get hired....you know those jobs are far and few in between in my neck of the woods. Well I was hired.

So now starts the part where I am being selfish and thinking of myself and how in the hell I am going to find a way to get workouts in.

On top of that, I have quit smoking so am sure I am being raggy over that too!
LOL

Barb.....maybe your 2 personalities will compliment each other! And then of course there is one of my favorite sayings to go along with it if she can't deal with it.....Eff it if she can't take a joke!

I know Jen, I guess I'm just questioning myself as to why I'm taking on such a big project! I just don't want to come off as goofy just yet! LOL! Yeah right!

Hey on GMA this morning they were talking about quitting smoking and are going to follow some people as they quit, you should check out the web site. The doctor (can't remember who he was) gave tips!

Ok going to go type

b

Hmmm...YEP, I was a super late poster this morning!!!! Slept late at home but not too late to make it to work on time--had some drama going on at home so hence did not make it on before I left out. YES, Barb..the IV would be wonderful about now but make it diet pepsi--they were out after I got to work and was looking for one in the fridge!!! And yes Sue it was almost 10 before I got on..LOL!!! It is almost 12 now and I am sooo ready to go back home...thank God for 1/2 days at work!!!!

No time for personals---for some reason my desk is buried with files today but this is good right--pays my salary!!!

Oh do have to add Brittany was by far the hottest hottie last night!!! She was gorgeous--she was beautiful even with the extra weight but she was gorgeous last night!!! Ali looked amazing too! Now just my thought but Mark was a little too thin looking. To me, he aged with the weight loss. I give a thumbs up to the entire cast for this season!!!! They did a super job.

Jen...awesome job on the no smoking campaign!!!!! You will get those workouts in--you just need to get up every morning @ 4 am..want me to call you when my clock goes off??

Terry, I thought the same thing about Mark too, and what's with him always touching his beard? LOL! He needs to add a pound or two! Have fun with your files dear! And the diet pepsi is on the way!

ok just finished one report!
yeah me! LOL
