I need to shower, too. No trainer ride though.
Unlike SOME people (Trek......;) ) *I* have to go to work today!
man, I hate trying to pick out work clothes. Can I just go in my jeans and Ibex shirt? (Or my coconuts and grass skirt?)
How do you surf and ride at the same time? Is the computer balanced on the handlebars?
You guys are cracking me up this morning! And I'm actually working!
Salsa, sorry to hear about the kitty as well. Beautiful girl!
Nanci, good luck at IMFL - can't wait to hear all about it and see pix.
X -score on the small scrubs! They probably just razzed ya cuz you're in such fine shape girl:D Thanks for the poem too, I think we need that here today (I think we're about ready to loose it here).
Kit - I can't imagine choosing between the furry friends and our people. My heart goes out to you.
CWR - how's your melon this morning? Did you make it into work?
KY - thanks for showering this morning, lol. Oh wait - I didn't! I work in a shop with lots of dirt and sawdust so sometimes I just stumble out of bed and head to work. The good part is I can wear whatever I want and I work with all guys, so I bet they'd like the coconut bra outfit!
Lise - the Italy trip has me drooling! So how long have you and J been seeing each other? Glad to hear he passed the animal test - that's always a big achievement. And right from that to the family, huh? Have a great weekend and tell us all about it on Monday. I'll PM you my profile.
Here's my rant for the day: My 2 dogs are getting on my nerves. I have an invisible fence but one of the collars isn't working. My elkhound must have figured it out because she's been taking off into the swamp first thing in the morning and last thing at night (I can't see her in the dark). Now I suppose I could dig out my tie outs and tie them up but I'm too lazy. The border collie comes back when I call him but not Miss Thang. So last night I left her butt outside and left the back garage door open for when she decided to come home. Around midnight I hear her barking - at the front door! I was so mad at her that I just let her in and barked at her to go lay down. Da*n dog slept on my couch last night! So this morning I put their collars on and let them out in the front. Normally, they won't go around the side of the house because she got zapped once (which is why I was surprised she ended up at the front door last night). They stayed put. Yesterday morning after she decided to waltz home, I watched here turn around and stare at the swamp then get into the "pounce" position (I think she's a reincarnated cat). Suddenly a deer walks into the yard looking at the dog. They stare at each other....the deer steps closer....the dog holds her position....the deer runs to the neighbors yard and Xena gives chase and STOPS AT THE LOT LINE!!!! I don't get it, that dog will run through the back yard to the swamp and stops at the sides??? I guess I just need to leave their collars on again and if she does it once more I'll walk her into the fence. I hate doing it but it's bow hunting around here and she could get herself shot running in the swamp with her light-colored bootie. Arrggghhh....vent over.
I have a potluck dinner tonight and I'm in charge of the veggie. Couldn't think of anything last night and it's very cold and windy today so I made minestrone. And I finally get to play a board game - Apples to Apples!
salsa good luck with the kitty. hope she's feeling better and a beautiful little thing too.
x i have that dr seuss poem hanging up on my desk. the boss has even laughed at it. i'm happy i have a good boss!
dar the melon is feeling a bit better so far this morning, but the heavy duty drugs didn't seem to work their majic like they usuall do. i couldn't manipulate the vertabrae back to where it needs to be. which is kinda scary. usually it works just fine. i have to say i slept good. had a hot compression on my neck last night to relax the muscles and my puppies kept coming over to check on me and give me really wet kisses. ahh the doggie love. good luck with your rugrats.
thanks to our pilot i am now addicted to the sour skittles. he got a bunch for the trick-or-treaters and has a ton left over. they keep showing up on my desk. :eek:
*drools* sour skittles....
Quiet night last night, quiet day today. Watched "stick it" ... an obviously teen-geared movie about gymnasts. Interesting, anyway. Made me glad I had a childhood not centered around training for something.
Got a voicemail from the new job, regarding the results of my credit/background check. I'm on pins and needles, but I want to listen to it when DG is awake... but I want to let her get all the sleep she needs, so I have to behave myself and be patient...
gotta clean the house- having friends over for dinner... (!) Haven't done that in a while. that's about it...
Chica, I hope you can get your neck all fixed... I worry 'bout ya.

I'm off work today, had an appt with the Dermatologist. He removed 4 moles a few weeks ago, one just cosmetic it could get irritated and 3 were pre-pre-pre cancerous. It's healing fine and now I'll have to go see him every 6 months for a while.
My dermatologist commented on my "farmer tan" and light glove line, but the sun damage is where I thought "the sun don't shine"
I celebrated the progress by ordering an SPF protective shirt. Did you know that our clothes have almost no protection from the sun?
I wimped out on riding to the appt :o which may have been a good thing. Sky was dry when I drove there, rained while I was in, dry while I drove to get haircut, rained while I was inside, dry on drive home, now light drizzle...
you know untill i started looking at trave clothes and they say that they are SPF bla bla bla, i never would've thought about it.
i guess i just assumed that if i was covered then i was protected. well i guess not! my poor skin.
nope nope, according to the good doc non SPF clothing is about 2-4 SPF. In a way it's worse, you think it's protected so stay out longer.
Funny thing is my back is fine. He says even though I have dark hair and eyes complection-wise I'm a redhead and burn easily.
so sunscreen, hats blah blah from now on. :o
Wow, Trek, that's useful info. Thanks. I'm a blue-eyed blonde, with solid redhead on my mom's side. Come to think of it, I'm really a blue-eyed grey-haired person, the blonde used to be real though...:p Anyway. I am diligent about applying sunscreen to uncovered parts of the body, but didn't think about putting it under clothing. Now it's so cold here that I doubt any sunrays are penetrating my many layers, but come spring/summer, I'll be much better about getting it all over. Like Nanci, I like that Neutrogena SPF 45 spray stuff.
Glad the doc visit went OK, and that the reports were good on the moles. I got some vicious sunburns in childhood, and am sort of waiting for the other shoe to drop about my skin. I have one thing on my belly that was worrying me, but my doc said it was a "senile keratosis" or age spot. Lovely. Beats the heck out of melanoma! Give me senile keatoses any day! :rolleyes:
Lise "my doc said it was a "senile keratosis" or age spot. Lovely."
That's the keratosis that can't remember its own phone number and address. I talked to your keratosis yesterday at work :p
Dang, it uses the phone? Things are worse than I thought! :pQuote:

She gave me the address from 40 years ago, then started to cry because she didn't know where she is now....even the city.
Yes! while you're napping in between catching baby duty your keratosis calls me.
I think Treks been hitting the sauce on her day off:p Such goofy girls!
CWR - I finally found your post from yesterday that started all the who-ha. You rebel!
Alright, our resident gorgeous, blue-eyed blonde midwife has proofed my profile. It is now tweaked so stand back and watch the men flock in!
Or not, hehehehehehe. I think I need a drink. Nope, potluck with the Pastor and the rest of my bible study group. Must......be.....sober:p
What shirt did you get? C'mon dear, post a link!Quote:

Ahhh....The ignore button's wonderful isn't it....
Anywho, I'm really really annoyed. I've had 3 flats in the last couple of days & i don't know why. I have kevlar tires so perhaps it's the way i'm using the tire levers...I've not been able to ride...:( :( as much as i want. I managed 10km this morning before another flat..I was right beside the train line and only had to walk 5min to the station. I didn't have time to change it as i'd be there forever and start work at 630 so I'll have to change it after work and speak to my lbs guys about it. Need to go there anyways as i only have one spare tube left....
I just want to bike...man am i addicted..I feel so bad leaving my bike at home...
Have a great day or evening wherever ya may be.
c
which one? i tend to make a few of those posts, usually aimed at kit though. :rolleyes: (its all in good fun) the latest one is the "I hate..." one. i was just recently attacked on that thread.Quote:

phew! i was a bit worried there for a bit. the last thing i want to do is offend anyone and be put on ignore. that and i like TE and love TD. i don't know what i would do without you girls. mainly i think i would actually have to work and gasp! :eek: that horror is a bit to much for me and my short-timers syndrome brain to take.
No dear, I believe we are talking about ignoring miss sunshine. :rolleyes:Quote:

i leave in two days for training/small vacation. not that i'm counting down days. only 9 days till my massage. :cool:
KnottedYet "What shirt did you get? C'mon dear, post a link!"
it was on Steep and Cheap, it's gone now. You'd have to come to CA to see it.
"(and I am your friendly neighborhood source for hats, sunscreen, and clothing. Just lemme know what you want... )"
Knot? you're a pusher for athletic gear? Thought you were in the medical field? :cool: hey you, i can get you whatever you want. Want Illuminite? Over here.
uh oh, I just visited the "I hate" thread :o
OK, this is so scary. Did she give you the address on Orchard St. in Des Plaines, or the one on Greenview? I don't even remember the number. WAIT A MINUTE. I didn't have an age spot 40 years ago! I was six years old! Someone is impersonating my age spots! :p Seriously, though. Poor lady. Now I'm planning for the future. What will I do. I know. Pull out the phone book. That says what city I'm in. But will I remember my plan? Argh!Quote:

CC--good luck with the tires. I believe you deserve some Clif shot bloks just because.
Off to dinner with friends, will check the "I hate" thread when I get home. Oh! The Drama! :p I am so glad that TD has stayed a pretty safe little enclave here.
ok trek. hit me! *ouch!* not that hard.
i need the hookup for the sun protection! im see-through and going to sunny weather in the next two months! :eek: :eek: and i'm terrified of the sun.
dar do we get to see this "new and improved" (i couldn't resist) web page?
I am eyeing some Illuminte running tights...Quote:

CWR It is a good thing you are not counting the days until you leave. :p
CC Sorry about the flats.
I really needed a run tonight, but I convinced DH it was okay to not be with me all the time and he took a prospective professor out to dinner. He has called every 15 minutes to ask how my head is, do I have any symptoms, etc. It is nice to be loved, but maybe not quite so much? Then my back-up running partner (yep I am 37 and I am not supposed to exercise alone-SIGH) came home from school with a nasty cold. He better not be faking to get out of running with his mother. Oh, that sounded so wrong. I do not want my eldest to be ill, honestly. I just do not tolerate lying and he has had a little teen fibbing rebellion going on here as of late.
CC-there is no way we can rename CWR with that name-brilliant as it is. :cool: I have far too many typos and no spell checker. Think of the typos. :eek:Quote:

CWR's new name: sillyalaskanchickiewhochasesbearsandcatchesfishwithbarehands
You people are priceless.
CC, sorry about the flats. You're not using tire levers to put the tire back on, are you? :eek:
BMo3, I hope your backup running partner is healthy and RUNNING with you.
that's my native name, how did you know? :rolleyes:Quote:

not that i'm counting right? ;)
OMG I am so dizzy! Usually I don't read this thread cuz its for all you cool chicka's and I am too old to be cool, but for some reason I wanted to catch up with it. JumpinJahozaphit! If I felt clueless before, I definately am now.
SALSA - so sorry about your baby.
X - you are rather a creative one, aren't you?
CWR - I refuse to believe you made friends with Mr. Sunshine - um, MS Sunshine. Shame on you.
{{{{BOM3}}}} that hugs more for me than you
KIT - I will rent V this weekend. You have me curious now.
I am sure there were other comments I wanted to make but the dizziness is really starting to affect my already lacking thinking abilities...... besides, I have to go search for pics of hot babes in bikini's and some other stuff.....:D (hot babes in underwear didn't sound as good)
DebW..I use tire levers all the time but haven't had this problem until now..:( Ummm what am i doing wrong then?? It's so much easier changing mtn bike tires..
Well kids, it's a booteful day in the nieghbourhood, won't you be, won't you be my nieghbour? Ahhhh, it's a sunny & cloudless day here in Perth and a lovely temp of25c. Anyone want to come down here for a vacation & miss winter? Snap, when ya retire come on down for a visit.
I'm going to make you ladies jealous allllllllll summer long...Actually summer's not here yet but you'll know when i start whingeing about the 35c heat.
Ciao for now.
I'll try my native name
crazycanuckoriginallyfromCanadaanddoesnotlikehotweatherbuthasboyfriendwhowilloffertoputmeinbeerfreezerduringaperthsummer.
How's that?
Woa! Total head rush. I was just hangin' around upside-down trying to get rid of the hickups. Felt like I was about to get a nose bleed so I figured it was time to come down. Everything seems to be leaning to the right, now. hmmm... That can't be good.
So, Knot, I didn't catch if you got to embarass SKnot with the coconut pasties. I've finally gotten over the fact that there will be no pix. I'm ok now. Really. **sticks bottom lip out and pouts** (Of course, if some did happen to surface, a PM wouldn't be totally unwelcome. :cool:)
CrazyCanuck - I'm counting on you to let us know about your wonderful summertime. It's good inspiration for those of us waiting out the freeze. :cool:
(((BMo3))) - You know what that's for. :) BTW, have they done a spinal pressure on you yet? Just curious. It can tell many stories.
Naaannnccciiii!!! - I know you're busy at the IMFL but... I think one of your snakes left his hide behind at my house. I found part of one, about a foot long today while raking my yard. So, is this recycleable or what? (plastics, cans, newspapers... shoot - no used snake-skivies bin anywhere)
Kit - I've got my copy of V all ready to go.I figured I better not wait in case they have a 'run' on them at BlockBuster. So, what do I need for this shindig? I may as well turn it into a RHPS type of event. Whaddya think?
CWR - How's the casaba and stem? How often do you have this slippage problem? It's not something to take lightly young lady. Movement causes spurring, pinching and all kinds of bad voodoo.
Well, gotta go see what kind of mess I've created elsewhere. I think I've let it "soak" long enough, right CyclChyk? ;)
cc - a visit down under is definitely on my list of places to go, along with Tasmania and NZ.
I think I need to get a copy of V for myself, sounds like something I'd like.
Went back to work today after 2 days of calling in dead. Everyone is tippy-toeing around me again.:p Careful, don't piss her off, she'll retire and not tell us!
Anybody have a PDA? What kind? I'm thinking of this one.
I seem to be in major WW sabotage mode right now. If it's not nailed down, I eat it. :( I do fine all day, then get home and dive headfirst into a box of cookies.
Bed time for me. 'nite all!
CC, whether using levers contributed to your recent string of flats is one of the UNKNOWABLES OF THE UNIVERSE. [Though I could expound on how to examine your tire and tube after every flat and frequently determine it's cause.] But you give yourself better odds if you banish those levers and toughen up your thumbs.Quote:

Thanks for being helpful deb :) I enjoy reading your maintenance posts.
Hmmm...i'd love to cause havoc in the humour thread but i think i'll leave it up to X-ray, cwr, kit, snap & the others...
BTW Snap...when are you going to retire??? You discussed it somewhere on TD..
c
My "To Do" list for today:
pay bills
go to bank
clean kitchen
buy work pants
grad school
Gotta love a "to do" list like that!:D
Cyclchyck - the dizziness won't go away until you read all 400-some pages of TD:p (and you can't be too old to be cool)
Has anyone heard from Dirtdiva???
I wonder who else we're missing.
c
Grad school? For today? I'm assuming that's a one-day task since it didn't say "apply to grad school" or "start grad school" or "attend grad school" or "finish grad school". Sheesh, if you can do grad school in a day, I went to the wrong school! :rolleyes: Seriously, in what field are you looking at grad school?Quote:

Well, I'm off. (in so many ways) Tons of things to do before work. I'm sooooo far behind right now. **shakes head** I have to get caught up by tonight or no going out with the girls. And, I-do-not-miss-the-night-out-with-the-girls. Ever. Besides, this is a special one. (Oh, please don't get me a lap dancer like last year. Not kidding!) So no time to put the azz on the saddle today.
Everyone have a fabulous day and be safe.
X.
(Nope, no pics - no matter what happens.:rolleyes: )
