hehehe. I know how old Kit really is. Visa and MC are accepted through Pay Pal.

You think you know, only because of what she told you. Watch out for those tricksters

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]

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!

[Xrayted]

Actually, this mental image is not too bad ...

Well, I'm all booked this coming w/e so how about the next? I say we head out and scare the little men at the LBS. I'll bring a camera. You know these ladies like pics, especially action shots!

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

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

Well garage door guy came, and for those of you single and looking, he was hot!! 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.

You think you know, only because of what she told you. Watch out for those tricksters

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...

[kelownagirl]

Lise - I'm so happy for you and J. It sounds an awful lot like the start of my relationship with my sweetie two years ago. I think it's something to do with age and knowing what's important. We are still gloriously happy after two years and I expect we will be for years to come. I have a good feeling about you and J too. Yay!

Take a deep breath and give the whole work/Italy thing a day or two. Something will work out. Like you said, it's four months away. The schedule chick just doesn't "get" it - so much can happen between now and then. I don't blame you for being mad but it'll work out. It has to.

CWR - glad to see you around. Hope things are tolerable. Chocolate is good. Eating something healthy too. ((((CWR)))

Dar - sounds a bit frustrating. I agree about spending the money on more important things. When is your TG anyway? This week? On a Thursday usually isn't it? At any rate, I think it's so good of you to do the good deed. I've thought about doing it but that's as far as I've gone.

Knot - how'd the beef turn out? When in doubt cook it a long time.

X - you kill me. I just love reading your posts... So much energy!


Well, I am finished my report cards! Yay! Well I think they're done. Gotta see what the powers that be think. I'm sure there will be a coupla typos to fix up. Anyway, I am happy.

Now I'm off to try some "self-myofascial release" on my "iliotibial band". Geez the stuff you can learn about on the internet. I'm sure you guys will find a way to make that sound sexual.

[Zen]

I will take the garage door guy. If nothing else, I do need a new garage door.

Have you ever eaten one of those hot dogs off the rollers at the Seven-Eleven?

I can't bring myself to do that but I have had some decent pizza from there.

[KnottedYet]

I much prefer buffalo to beef. I'm lucky in that we have a store nearby that almost always has buffalo.

[kelownagirl]

My daughter only buys buffalo because it's cheaper. I should try it sometime.

Have you ever eaten one of those hot dogs off the rollers at the Seven-Eleven?

OMG no. The thought sends shivers up my spine.

Well I have begun a cacti garden indoors. So far I have 5 plants and I just may need to pick up a few more today. They are so cute and seem like a growing plant that will be difficult even for me to kill. Tonight I shall be repotting them.

It is unbelieveably hot and humid here, more like summer than spring. So I am staying indoors as much as I can. I do however have a lovely suntan. and I am finally at the weight I wanted to be, yay me. Now I need to learn how not to lose or gain more, but maintain. It is always something. I am in desperate need of smaller clothing, but the only thing I will spring for is a new speedo. My old one is flashing my neighbours and even they are noticing and commenting-side note, they are a lovely gay couple in their late 40s-they crack me up with their comments.

It is good to see so many people posting and bringing life back to TD.
