Nanci, sorry you have to work on Thanksgiving. Believe me, I know how that feels and it stinks.

This is actually the first Thanksgiving and Christmas I'm going to have off since college. I even have Black Friday off -- my first four-day weekend as an employee.

I'm trying to figure out what to do with myself because I don't particularly want/need to go shopping, but I don't want to just stay at home, either. Maybe my bike will finally visit the shop for some different parts. Maybe.

OTG-I think spending the holiday bike part/accessory shopping would be fun!

**Bikingmomof3** · 11-20-2006, 09:38 AM

Does anyone know if Under Armour ever goes on sale? I have 5 people addicted to UA and since I am Christmas shopping I was hoping to find a sale.

While on the topic-any idea for stocking stuffers for my guys?

Bets on when the garage door people will actually ring back?

**mimitabby** · 11-20-2006, 09:46 AM

Under Armour? is that like deodorant?

**mimitabby** · 11-20-2006, 09:47 AM

as for stocking stuffers for your guys, I still buy my sons toys if i find cool ones.
they're grown up but they're still boys.

**Bikingmomof3** · 11-20-2006, 10:01 AM

LOL. No, it is not like deoderant. UA is wonderfully comfortable clothing for working out in or just lying around the house.

Actually, going to bike shops is very, very, very stressful for me. Virtually everything I have was bought online. I'm very self-conscious about my weight, and several different shops in the past have been extremely less than helpful and one was downright rude.

I'm in a different state now, though, and I need to get a new crank before spring (I can't change it myself), so gonna have to face the music sooner or later. In fact, I'd rather visit the dentist than a bike shop.

Even the mere thought of having to go in there makes me extremely nervous.

In other news, I have to help my brother and sister-in-law pack up their house tonight. They are moving tomorrow, actually slightly closer to my apartment. Now, who on earth doesn't hire a mover for a three floor, 3-bedroom house and then moves on a weekday?

CWR- I feel your pain. Sorta. I was overly optimistic about my riding abilities going to and from work. I'm so sore and so tired and (SO HUNGRY!) I'm in the process of making more soup (having eaten too much already) so i can just stuff myself and then fall asleep. I should stretch, though. d'oh. *sigh*

Don't get me wrong, I liked the ride down there (would've liked it more had it not been so hard) but the ride back was scary (dark and with stupid people) and I'm just tired beyond words.

Fun fact: When people tell me to "Get on the F****ing Sidewalk!" I enjoy telling them to do silly things, too... I can't say any of them here (there might be timid or meek folks lurking) but it's fun.

I had a final meeting with the other 2 "cochairs" of our community Tgiving dinner tonight. Too many chiefs in the kitchen and I'll be glad to have this behind me. The meal will be delicious and beautiful, but I'm a nuts and bolts kind of person. Besides this being a free community dinner, all the donations have gone to good charities. They keep added "trivial" stuff to me like table decorations (hand made stamped cards, flower arrangements, tablecloths, disposable serving platter, confetti, individual serving cups for cranberry sauce, etc.) and all my black and white self (I AM a project manager folks!) see's is money not going to the senior center, or the sponsoring church. Ugh, I volunteered to do this myself, they have pretty much taken over because they both work in town and only part time. But I am thankful cuz that's less I had to do

And I'm sure it will be appreciated by those attending. OK, vent off my chest....

OTG, I say let X rought 'em up a bit. Then they'll treat you with respect. Like raising kids my parents always said, a little fear can go a long way

CWR, whilst chocolate is a food group, it can only be used so for 2 consecutive meals. Now go eat a salad and send me the candy, lol. JK, my bootie doesn't need any. I'm sending my cool North Face pants back cuz they're too long. And if I can get into the shape I want to be in, I'll order them again and hopefully they will have some short lengths in stock.

Off to take the garbage out. Yippee!

**crazycanuck** · 11-20-2006, 07:50 PM

Umm CWR..If you need more tim tams I have some in my cupboard i could send you.

ARGH! I am so mad!

A 12 hr shift today, busy, sometimes frustrating, but not awful. The midwife coming on after me arrived 1.5 hr early, not to help out, but to do paperwork or nap, whatever, in our call room, which meant that I essentially needed to stay out of there. Minor irritation.

She's also the midwife who does our schedule. She was also the director of my graduate program (13 years ago), and has been a midwife > 25 years. You get the point, she's one of my respected elders. BUT. She gets worked up about the schedule. I requested a week off in March, to go to Italy with J. A part-time midwife had a request in that overlapped mine by 3 days. No big deal, thought I, as there are 10 of us, although most are part time. Without going into details here, what I'm MAD about is that tonight, at 10 PM, Betty's telling me, "I don't think we can do it!" I said, "Betty, I have PLANE TICKETS TO ITALY."

I emailed our boss and said, "Please help me with this." I am sure it will work out. Betty sometimes does this sort of frantic, "it can't WORK!" stuff about the schedule, but it works out. I mean JEEZ! it's four months from now! We can't figure something out?!?

OK, I'm tired, I'm frustrated, and there's nothing more to be done tonight. I will get the days off some how. Sigh. Thanks for letting me vent, TD, or for ignoring it and moving on to a post with chocolate or wine or snakes in it!

See, Dar says it's cool, so can we, huh, huh, huh?

Anyway, he will be back tomorrow and I will be out $1250. Upside, my garage door will be new and in working order.

Gee, is it just me or should the upside be that the guy is hot? BMo3, do you think you could get him to take off his shirt for a few TE pics?

C'mon ladies, pony up some loot and help pay for this door so we can get the pics.

Oh I know so much more than that, snap. It's in the new biography I'm writing called "Kitsune: The Young and Crazy Years." Knowing her zest for life, I won't be able to finish it until she dies at the tender age of 104 in a mosh pit mishap.

(which is exactly ** years from now)

Kit - Glad you had a nice ride to work today and that you're safe. Watch the language tho, you're a biking embassador now. Sign language however is a beautiful and expressive alternative. Wha? I'm just sayin'...

(oh yeah, it should be in the mail soon. thanks Kit.)

(((CWR))) You know I'm a hugger so quit looking at me like that. I'll hug ya if I wanna, so there!

'night TD!

Oh, hey, CWR this one's for you...
