It is really fun to watch TV "with" someone when you're on the phone together.

Not as much fun as if you were on the couch together REALLY watching TV, but fun anyway.

sigh...

w00t! I made it. It's only taken me four days to catch up on all the TD that I missed by not being online much for two or three weeks. Of course, I'm going away for five days on Friday, so I'll just get all behind again. Y'all gab too much!

[crazycanuck]

Yes, these chickies do gab alot don't they!!! Something in the water?

I'm sitting here wondering about my new Polar cycling hrm/cadence computer. The cadence part doesn't seem to work but we have the sensor in the right place. I saw a thread about it but thought i might ask you ladies.

CC: Which heart rate model did you get? Can you wear it on your wrist, too, or does it stay on the bike? Let me know how that works out. I'm still on the fence about which model to get. I should make up my mind soon because the big paycheck comes in 2 days! Although I suspect my new crank and stem will eat up a good portion of it.

Bikingmom: I actually had $21,000 in debt after college (student loan and a used car). I worked two jobs for a while and did the Dave Ramsey thing until I paid off my last debt Sept. 1.

Update on me: Well, my trainer kicked my butt anyway. And I felt so sluggish and yucky because of gaining some weight back. I could really feel it.

He said some encouraging things, but basically something in my head just said, "What the heck are you doing? Ruining your dreams for some donuts? Not smart."

So, back to eating healthier. Somehow I suspect I won't be able to relose the extra pounds as quickly as I regained them. Doesn't seem fair, does it?

I bet I'm not going to have anything to do at work today. No one is here. The time goes soooooo slowly when there's absolutely nothing to do. I should have brought my iPod, but I forgot it.

2. Happy early Thanksgiving from Albany NY, where I'm with my mom for the holiday. She is doing well in subacute rehab now, will probably go to assisted living in month or so. She is feeling so much better that she is starting to kick *** and take names at the nursing home where she's doing the rehab. It's very funny.

Inner voice test question:

A friend of mine once told me her "test question" for relationships. I've always liked it. "Is your world larger or smaller with this person in it?"

My problem has always been that I think "well, it could get better later" and stick around much longer than I should. If it wasn't that good before, and isn't that good now, it probably won't be so good later, either.

Not that I'm giving advice! I'm just pondering out loud with my first cup of coffee.

Knot, that's an awesome question to ask! I'm gonna start using it if you don't mind.

The literacy fair was alright. Too structured for me and a very high energy child! They had 3 20 minute work stations and they had to sit and listen and/or draw at each. Very hard for my little guy. I was wiped out at the end of it and then he had to cry and throw a fit when it was time to go. Ugh.

My friend Scott (the pilot guy with the heart valve problem) is gonna be within a hour or so of me today. But I can't find a sitter for my little guy so I can go see him. He's having his heart surgery on the 29th, so if you could start praying for him I would appreciate it. I'm hoping I can take my little guy down to go see him or see him this weekend, either way, I'd like to give him a hug before his surgery. He's only 43 - it just blows me away. And the FFA will be grounding him for 6 months because of it and then he has to go through a bunch of tests to get his license back.

Off to work, yippee!

happy txgiving Salsa I am glad to hear your mom is doing better. It's nice that she's taking charge again.

Knot, sorry about the bowl. every time something like that happens to me I go on a big inner arguement about being attached to inanimate objects, etc.. Going to catholic school as a kid really screwed me up.
That's an interesting test question. and you can't answer it too fast.
In some ways, I have less freedom with DH around but in others, he has opened up some seriously HUGE doors..

All of you guys worrying about weight, just remember tomorrow PORTION size.
eat tiny bits of everything.

quick post...
OTG - keep up the good work. you can have little backslides and still be ok. have fun at the 3hr spin on friday! i can't go, have to work. you two ride twice as hard for me, ok? after everything calms down, dinner and hot tub party at my house for the PA girls. AG is going on vacation soon so we'll figure it out after that. get that bike taken care of too. AG has a good shop and they'll treat you right.
congrats on no debt! very nice. i don't have any student loans. couldn't get grants either. had to pay every last cent myself. paid as i went. a bit impoverishing. would still do it again, only sooner. got a little CC debt yet that is just about gone. of course, with bike stuff, vacation, x-mas gifts... it never ends.

Salsa - so glad to hear your Mom is getting the old spit and vinegar back. it's good for the body and soul.

Kit - Hmmm, i guess we said it all last night, huh? BTW, how's your head this morning? Mine's just fine.

KnottedYet "It is really fun to watch TV "with" someone when you're on the phone together."

yes it is

Sorry about the cell phone thing and overheating? That's bad.

I don't know how butch my phones are but I've had good luck with Nokia. They seem well made I still have my first one (I just renew the plan, get new phone, keep the old one because if phone breaks just pop in the chip and voila. I'm bad, I don't carry the insurance).

My Samsung worked well till the keys wore out

Motorolas seems to fall apart on the dot at a year.

If I had to get another phone mid contract the best deals seem to be either online on your carriers site or at the box stores Circuit City is pretty good.
