Or maybe they're just busy making goo-goo eyes at each other?

MIA- Offthegrid????
To disable ads, please log-in.
I haven't seen Offthegrid on here or on Beginner Triathlete for over a week now. Nothing posted.
The last I heard... she was spending the weekend with a new boyfriend... then POOF she was gone.
Anyone hear from her? I hope she is OK and that she hasn't lost motivation. I hope she isn't deathly ill or something bad like that. Hhhuuummmm?

I'm definitely voting for the goo-goo eyes.
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

I'm around ... but you're right, I have been very low on motivation.
Honestly it's been soooooooo cold I just can't get myself out the door at 5:30 a.m. to go swimming, which I totally need to start doing again.
I've gone on a few hikes and walks with my new BF, and it's just so exciting and wonderful and I find myself skipping workouts. Bad Susie! He has said he'll go mountain biking with me, though, but neither of us have mountain bikes yet.
He's just so totally wonderful. My ex-fiance just wanted to sit on the couch and watch TV. I'd go to the Jersey Shore with my ex, and he refused to get in the water. This guy loves being outdoors, loves camping, loves canoeing, loves hiking, loves swimming (not laps, but being in the water). He doesn't love biking yet, but I bet he'll pick that up, too, after we get bikes.
BF is visiting this week on vacation and he's going to come to the gym with me every night but Tuesday because that's my weigh-loss meeting night. Knowing him, he'll seriously kick my butt. We're totally crazy about each other so it's tough to spend any time apart. But that'll settle down I'm sure in time.Last edited by Offthegrid; 02-12-2007 at 06:34 AM.

Suzie,
Happy to hear you are still alive and kicking!
Awe, that sounds very sweet, you and Thomas! I wish you two the best of luck.
I'm also happy to hear he is going to the gym with you! Would hate to see you get derailed by a love interest- although it would be understandable.
Have a great week with your sweetie!"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

We took some pics of us on our hike yesterday, but those haven't been downloaded yet. He said I looked like a babushka because I was so bundled up.

And I *finally* figured out what to get him to round out his Valentine's Day presents. Just in time!~ Susie

You are both too cute together!!!! Would love to see you as a babushka on your hike- sounds like me all bundled up!
Glad you're still around, and being in love is a good thing to be. I'm glad you have similar interests and that he supports your active lifestyle!!!!
Where does he live (assuming he lives far away from you since you said he was in town for a week)?
Yay- OTG is back among the living TE'ers!
