I'm happy to report my meatloaf turned out heavenly! I mean, I *know* it's only meatloaf, but to a gal who calls cooking throwing a frozen dinner in the microwave, it was good. Too good. But I ate only once piece.

X, you're definitely invited to dinner anytime. I'm a sucker for good rolls or bread.

My boob job wouldn't make 'em bigger but smaller! I'm kinda in a weird phase right now because my sports bras are too loose but the next size down is too tight. I get so jealous of men sometimes.

73 pounds -- you rawk!

I'm trying not to think about having ~80 lbs to go. But I just tell myself, heck, if I can ride 30 miles with an 80 extra pounds on me, imagine what I could do when I lose the weight?

[Xrayted]

And just what makes you two think I was sending you a hug, huh? The nerve of some people. (Of course, I was tho. Among a few others. )

Geez, I go out for a nice little 40 on the bike, don't even get a chance to clean up and change or anything and I find out that I've done something else now?? PM's and emails galore!! I'm not sure what I am supposed to have done this time but I sure am sorry for whatever it was. Can you ever forgive me?? I won't be able to sleep otherwise.
Pleeeeeeeease?????

**walking away muttering to myself** Ya bunch of nut jobs...

[chickwhorips]

ya but you love us nut jobs. how else would you be entertained.

nice pic ms buff.

[Xrayted]

Hush... quiet time now.


(and quit checkin' me out... I'm prayin' here woman. )

**limps off muttering, shaking head** Some people's kids... just goes to show ya never can tell... feel violated somehow.

**raised eyebrow** Huh! Cool.

[Lise]

KN! Have fun!

Just up from nap, starting a 24 hr call in 3 hr. Had a great time with J, and then went and saw "The Stinky Cheese Man", a children's play, with my 7 yr old nephew. Mom buys us tix to a series of 3 kids' plays every fall. Next year we get to start taking his sister, too.

Completely disoriented from attempting to catch up on TD....love to all! L.

[mtbdarby]

x - You studette! I'm praying I look like you some day

Lise, have fun on your shift. The play sounds cool.

Kit - so how was the mud run today? No biking for me today. A little icey yet! Congrats on the new job and have an awesome first day Monday (I know I'm early, but my memory has been a little shoddy lately).

OTG - way to go on the meatloaf. Baby steps girl! And you rawk for your own accomplishments woman. Way to go!

I had fun in the snow for all of you ladies today. We made snow angels, had a snowball fight, tried to make a snowman (the dogs never let us, they tear it apart as you're rolling it), went sledding and showed each other our best "moves" in the snow. Oh, and my little man is 4 - he's a hoot like his mamma

Operation FROG update: I was ready to throw in the towel already, cuz apparently my jerk magnet is still imbedded in my forehead, but I got on match again (just call me a glutton for punishment). I was emailing this other guy this week, divorced, 7yo son, blah, blah. And I thought I'd look him up on ccap as well and gee, guess what? He has an annullment/legal separation scheduled for 11/15. WTF PEOPLE! Is it TOO much to ask for to find a SINGLE guy without freakin' issues?? Now, I realize I'm not perfect by a long stretch, but I am divorced, not on medication, reasonally well adjusted and you don't have to tie a bone around my neck to get the dog to play with me. **takes deep breath** Good thing I'm not bitter, just venting

OK, off to have some hot chocolate, heavily laced with peppermint schnapps, and finish playing pokemon with my little man (who keeps calling me sweetheart for some adorable reason). I'll check back with you ladies later.

Dar--all I can say is how SMART you are for looking these guys up. Please don't dispair. I was at it, off and on, for 2.5 years before I met J. I started in March of '04, met and dated T. from 9/04-4/05 (4 months longer than I should've ), went off for a few months after we broke up, then went back on last November. In 11 months, I went out with 16 guys. Two of them were set-ups from work. Two of them don't technically count as "dates", because the guys stood me up. One was definitely stalker material, another potentially so. Two were intensely interested in me until they just dumped me without a word. You get the point. Many were odd.

And that doesn't count the number of guys with whom I emailed but never met. One seemed pretty interested in me, then didn't call when we'd made a phone date, but emailed and said, "I changed my mind." About a phone call? Whatever. I sat over coffee, flirting and talking with one guy for 5 hours, made another date, which he then cancelled by email, saying our conversation had felt more like a "work discussion". Really. I'd like to work in your company, buddy! At least you found out that this guy isn't really divorced. I got emails from a couple of guys who admitted in their profiles that they're only separated. I wrote back and said, "I don't date married men."

Anyhoo, just let it roll off your back as much as you can. Enjoy your little guy, and take a break from match when you need to. Have fun in the snow! We got some ferocious rain down here yesterday, and expected to wake up to snow, but nothin'.

OTG--I second the congrats on the meatloaf! I love meatloaf, and make a pretty good one. Meatloaf is *so* individual. Mine is good because it tastes like the kind my mom made.

Off to cook something to take with me on the call shift.

[Trek420]

Dar, don't give up just keep going, he's out there! It's like

Just back from Thai dinner with Knot. Plan is to do ALC training ride tomorrow across the GG bridge.

Like Trek Said.
.....................
Hugs to the both 'a youse, Trek & KN! (as we say in Chicagah).

[Offthegrid]

X, how was the massage? Was it extra special? *evil grin*

I just saw "Little Miss Sunshine." (yeah, months late, but what can ya' do?) I don't think I stopped laughing through the entire movie, and you can't say that too often about a flick that has a corpse in it.

Well, I gotta head to bed before I eat 2/3 of a meatloaf. I love riding my bike, but it sure makes me hungry. (And I ate quite well today, I might add.)

G'night ladies.

[CyclChyk]

LISE - I love the stinky cheese man!! Never knew they made a play of it. How cool!

DAR - single man? Without baggage?? At our age??? You best start shaing cuz whatever you are smoking is some really powerful s**t!

[mtbdarby]

Lise, you may be surprised to know that I have already been on and off Match for over 2 years - this ain't no new 'venture! It's just getting old....

Thanks Trek, but I think I have most of the "no's" down already Tell Knot hi and have a blast.

CC - I didn't say baggage, did I?? Issues are much different, lol. And what's this "at our age stuff"?? Single. Lets start with that, ok? Just quit lieing to me boys and lets start with that. Now you guys know why I relate to Meridith on Grey's Anatamy (expect I don't get that much lovin' ).

OTG - back away from the meatloaf (although you could do worse - like the 3 cookies I had today. Guess my appetite is back ). Yes, the more I ride the hungrier I am. Not so much with running but I can't explain it.

Alright, I took a nap with my handsome prince this afternoon and now I'm not really tired. I'm off to make my bed - anyone up around here?

[Xrayted]

Dar - Ya wanna look like who? (I'm trying to ignore that crack cuz I promised to be good.)
**in my nicest voice possible** There are quite a few of you here who desperately need an appointment with the eye doc. In the mean time, you may wanna get a dog. I'm surprised you're not bumping into walls. 'nuff said.
Sorry about the date sitch. Trek is right. (FYI: she's pretty much always right, so get used to it ) It'll happen sometime. Enjoy your independence girl. I know it's lonely but you've got the little guy to keep you company. (I know, it's not the same but he loves ya unconditionally.) You're a very lucky woman.
Did I hear hot chocolate? Be right over. I like mine mixed with a B-52, hold the hot chocolate. I'll even bring my own fixins. Hey, Kit! Dar's house later! Bring the marshmallows, will ya?

X, how was the massage? Was it extra special? *evil grin*

OTG - Wrong girl for the massage. That was CWR. As I understand, it was very good tho. (If I say anymore, Kit has been employed to cut off my thumbs. I really think she'd do it, too. )
Although if someone's offering, I'm game! I love giving and getting them. It's surprisingly easy to end up giving an hour massage and not even notice the time passing. Just turn on some soft music and get lost in the ebb and flow of the melody, the rhythmic cadence, cresting chord progressions and arpeggios, the tension and release of the pitch, deep penetrating harmonic waves resonating off the finger tips and through the timbre of the flesh. *Ahem.* Phew, is it hot in here? **wipes the steam off the screen**

and THAT'S what ya get for the evil grin, woman! Next! (oh, I know I'm gonna get it for that one. hehe.)

Knot and Trek - Happy to see ya made it safely Knot. Glad it's going well. Thai food huh? Gotta be careful what you ask for, that can be a pretty hot dinner there. Red hot chili peppers have a kick. (great band too, BTW) Had a bottle-worth dropped in my lap one time. Rather, um, harsh. Not conducive to riding and other such things.
Have a nice ride tomorrow. (like the segway?) Take pics of the bridge and bay too, would ya please? I've never been there before. I'd like to see it from your perspective. Still looking for a biking vacation spot in the spring. (yea!)
Lise - I see things are still moving along nicely with your young man. Never did get to hear how he rolls his bill tho. Hope everything goes smoothly in delivery and ya get some naps.
CyclChyk - How's tricks? I wore the tri socks on my ride today. Very comfy. Mucho gracias, sis! The piggies are feeling good tonight.
Kit and CWR - I think we've said about all we can today. Unless you've got more? j/k!! I'm always here if you need anything, little sisters. Just say the word. ((((((Kit & CWR))))))

[chickwhorips]

OTG that was me with the massage and let me tell you it was good. if your ever in phoenix, let me know i'll hook you up. not only does he give a good massage but he's good looking too. oh and congrats on the meatloaf!
