    Sorry to not read and then post and run, but I'm just exhausted ...

    Saw my new doc today. He was AWESOME. I'm so happy with the switch. Well worth the wait. I hope he doesn't retire anytime soon.

    I lost 3.25 pounds in two weeks (we didn't have an official weigh-in last week). This is super astonishing to me because at my gym's scale, I had gained 6 pounds last week. Go figure. I've lost 22.75 pounds total.

    Got my new Look pedals today to go with my new crank that's being ordered. My heart rate monitor is supposed to arrive tomorrow, so I can't use it in my session with my trainer this week. And I have replacement running shoes arriving this week, too. Happy early Christmas to me.

    *yawn* Well, I really gotta get to bed. I didn't fall asleep until nearly 1 a.m. last night and then had to get up at 5:30 to go swimming.

    OTG - glad you like your new doctor and congrats on the weight loss this week!

    AG - welcome to TD!

    Mimi - Happy birthday!

    SW - nice that hubby is helping out. Take it while you can get it! Nothing I love more than to watch a man do housework.

    Dar - hope the pup is better by now.

    CWR - Where DO you get all those animations?!

    -20 right now, that's a few degrees below 0 F. Still had school today but only 15 minutes of time outside at lunch so the kiddies didn't get frostbite.

    'tis the season....for this kinda thing too

    odd thing just happend.

    Did any of you ship me something by UPS? If so sorry, I refused it

    there's a knock on the door, a man says "UPS, I need a signature"

    huh? I'm not expecting anything by UPS and told the guy so.

    He repeated that he needs a signature

    I look out the window (over barking lab/pit dog, good dog Mae ), this is not a UPS uniform.

    I told him I'm not opening the door, if you're UPS leave it if not I'm calling the cops.

    He left, I did, cops will check it out.

    A certain someone on this board confirms UPS will not deliver after 6 except to busineses and they are always in full uniform not blue track suits

    You did the right thing.

    I told SKnot your story, and he rolled his eyes as I began the Mom's Litany Of Dangers Whilst You Are Home Alone. But I think knowing it happened to someone he knows makes him consider that *maybe* there's a real reason Mom is such a nag about safety...

    UPS drivers must wear full uniform (right down to their socks) when they deliver. They will give you ID if you ask, they will tell you who the package is from, and if they can't get a signature because you won't open the door, they WILL leave a hang-tag at your door.

    (I have a friend who's a UPS driver, and she complains about having to buy uniform socks; but now I see the point. And, no, she would NEVER try to deliver in a blue track suit!)

    After he left I put Mae into a sit behind me, opened the door (so if the bad guy is still out there and can read Japanese he can see the beyooteeful 2nd degree black belt certificate framed on the wall behind me) and checked to see if there was a tag.

    No tag. I don't think that was UPS.

    I don't think that was UPS, either. You handled it so well. Glad you're OK. (((Trek)))

    AllezGirl, welcome to TD! And goooood luck reading it all!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIMI!!! Looking forward to details.

    Off to bed. L.

    Hey ladies, sorry I don't post as often anymore (and TD seems so much quieter for it....) but work's got my head spinning.
    Had an exciting morning. Not going into details (I don't need that kind of attention) but everything's ok now. I need to get some sleep.
    My commute's going well. I'm gaining strength so much faster than I expected to. Big breakfasts (ok, oatmeal in general) is still making me feel sorta pukey, but I'm truckin' along. It's something to set out and see it snow... or to be coming home, feeling the temp drop, and watch puddles progressively become more and more frozen-over as you approach 'home'... Can't wait for the days when the sun's actually up for the whole thing, though. :P

    Mimi- have a very happy birthday (What's left of it, that is) Sweet jersey!
    OTG- Congrats! you'll find you gain and lose weight at weird rates while biking w/ the formation of muscle, etc... just keep at it...
    AG- I've always said 'Soda' too. Folks around me would say 'warsh' but it was never something I really ended up adopting. Just get me to say 'hammock' or 'havoc' or similar words and I'll say 'em like a midwesterner, though... and you never do get away from that midwestern thing, eh CWR?
    CWR- I'll ask your permission before risking life and limb again 'kay? It's hard to properly accept "Stay safe--or else!" threats. I mean... or else what?
    X- you're just crazy. And that's ok. *hug*
    Trek- You did the right thing. People are beyond creepy and weird.
    Knot- I'm glad someone else has "Mom's Litany" to hear over and over. It seems like so many kids these days don't hear any of that stuff and are *so* stupid about things...

    Well, there are some people on here who need to be addressed so I'm ignoring the target on my forehead and coming out to play for a bit.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIMI!!!!
    Love the jersey. Can I borrow it when I come out to visit, huh, can I?

    Well, AG welcome to TD!! ('bout time woman! ) I can't wait to go riding with you two again. Very nice BSG there. A little hill climbing, huh? I love hills! Go ahead and just try to kill me on some hills, I dare ya! Hey, OTG, I think when we go out riding with her next time, we better get cue sheets so when we drop her like a bad habit, we don't get lost in strange territory. (Of course, we both know that she'll be sitting there by the side of the road having a picnic and a nap while waiting for us to catch up. )

    Bmo3 - My postie chick brought your wonderful Christmas card today. Made my day and believe me it took a lot to make my day today. Thank you so much! You are a treasure.

    Dar - Hope the pooch is better. It's so hard to see them suffer and not be able to make it better right there.

    Lise - It's so nice to see you in love. Thanks for sharing that with us.

    CrazyC - hehe. I love the names. I'm coming down there one day just to hang out with you. You're a scream.

    CWR - Thanks! For... you know, everything. Please feel better soon. Love ya sis. ~mick~

    Kit - How's the knee? You make me insane and sane all at once. How is that possible? Oh, and the 'or what' is X comes over there and grabs you and *mumble, mumble's* you. Got it? Punk. (Ya know I love ya, don't ya? )

    Well, I believe I'm done. Back to my cage. Have blissful biking dreams TD

    X.
    Oh, that's gonna bruise...

    *whiny tone* I don't wanna be *mumble, mumble*'d! My knee's ok. It's been iced all afternoon with tiger balm tonight. It was pretty stiff at work, but biking home loosened it up again. I think I'll drive tomorrow. I was too skittish tonight to feel safe on any corners again.

    ...but for that matter, if no one hears from me in a long enough time to be worrisome, ask my big sisters, and they'll call my house (eventually ) to see what's up.

    Oh X...music to my ears...love hills? You do realise I live at the base of VF mountain? Right...good...cus that route does feature Weslh Valley Rd (AKA Mt. Misery) and if that's not enough...I do know the way to Flowing Springs...or how bout Eichle Rd.? It's on the Univest Pro tour...yes, some of the pro racers have had to walk up it...but they're wimps. bahwahahh...

    (the proceding is all fluff talk...cuz I can't climb for s**t, I do it because I have to...I really like to ride in New Jersey)

    Long time lurker, first time poster (to TD)

    I'm AG and I'm a cyclist

    I've been trying to catch up before I jumped in....but thats like riding against a 35 mph headwind. Much more fun though, you gals are a hoot!

    BMo3: loved the Christms Card.

    Mimi: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Love the jersey!

    definately SODA (I was born and raised in MO, so I guess that makes me a midwesterner (of course, sometimes I still warsh my clothes too )

    X: went out riding with BSG (bike shop guy) today. He got a call while we were riding about OTG's crank, a BSG is never off duty! We also plotted a nice little 23 mile loop from my house. Next time you two come down we'll give it a go. We'll have to wait until OTG's compact is done though cuz there is just_a_little_climbing

    Mimi Happy Birthday
    Soft drink - My grandfather Burress taught that the proper way to ask for was "Coca-Cola" That's what for being the product of two Tennesseans. I did grow up in Missouri, so to me it's Soda
    AG - People have a hard time with my accent and placing it. most people guess Arkansas, which is very close. have to go - gotta wrash my Farks in the zinc
    Read my blog. or else !
