Thread Drift

[SadieKate]

Oh good, Nanci. That's nice to hear. I was really upset in that thread, but I bet you couldn't tell, huh?

I think there were about 200 posts in the time it took me to ride to the TT course, start, flat, and ride home.

SK - it was moving super fast last night. I would post and then have 10 more to read and then 10 more would show up while I was writing mine. Craziness! You know - it did start to slow down when Lise went to bed.....

[maillotpois]

- this thread can move quickly when Lise is awake.

So true. Rare times, those are, but true nonetheless....

uk elephant "somehow I ended up with a big bowl full of yummy milk chocolate (Galxy minstrels) and licorice allsorts."

how'd that happen? I hate when chocolate just jumps in there.

I'M AWAKE! I WAS PAYING ATTENTION! YES! I HEARD EVERYTHING YOU SAID!
No, really, I'm up, I'm up.

You GUYS! I'm going to have a call shift soon when the pregsters don't let me sleep for >24 hr, and I'm going to...well, tell you about it later! So there! That's what I'm going to do! Because I'm going to be too busy working to PM you that I'm still awake at 4 AM, etc... Recently I fell asleep while trying to write a note in a patient's chart. It was like those post-lunch classes in college, where your notes sort of trail off the side of the page...I had to finish the note standing up, so I wouldn't fall asleep. Needless to say, I'd been up for something like 26 hours at that point.

Ah, but that was a refreshing nap just now. No wierd dreams. Not on call again until Sunday night.

Nanci, I'm glad you PM'd the original poster.

I do have speedy fingers. Those babies can be slippery, y'know? You need to be able to move fast.

That's a good one!

Lise seems to talk a lot about men and sleeping. Now, when she starts mentioning them together we won't need to worry anymore Maybe she needs to eat all of that salmon.....

[Tater]

Anyone notice how all Lise ever does is sleep? Or talk about sleeping?

Wait a sec, I thought this thread was about Lise's DATES, not her sleep patterns!

Like on Tuesday when an ice cream cone jumped into my hand. Of course I had to eat it or it would have melted all over my hand. And very delicious it was too. Just the thing I needed to recover from that ridiculous tropical heat we've been having. I thought I was living in NORTHERN Europe, not the tropics!

heh heh heh. Tell me about it. How about a combination of Peter Reid + not sleeping?!

Is there an smiley icon for throwing stuff at each other? Cuz I think we've about gotten to the pillow fight stage on thread drift! Chocolate? Anyone? I wish we could all get together and watch IM videos and eat great food and (some of you can) drink wine and go for a long ride, taking turns hauling MP in the BOB...

[maillotpois]

taking turns hauling MP in the BOB...

Oh I'd like to see you try...!!!

The getting together for videos, chocolate, etc. part was cool, though.

Um. Have you seen Al's new movie? They're basically one and the same.

Sarah, I meant to tell you I loved what you said about your skeleton alone weighing 140#. Me too!

Now I'm off to the podiatrist. Here's what I want to hear: "Your toe numbness and the large, painful bunion you've had for 35 years can be quickly and easily remedied with these shoe inserts. Heeere ya go...all set. No surgery for you, missy!"

Oh, yeah. Well, I'll report back later tonight. I'm being a good little triathlete in training and NOT riding my bike to volleyball, today being a "rest" day, and all... See you all later. L.

PS: UK, thoughtful of you to save the ice cream. We all have to do our part.

And yes, Tater, when we're not talking about pigeons or chocolate or wine, I'm obsessing about why the guys I like don't call me back and the ones I don't like won't go away, and in between I'm scheming about when I can get some sleep, and oh, yeah, I should go for a run, crud, when was the last time I did any swim training, this is a triathlon board, after all, oh, heck, my beeper just went off....etc!

Now! I'm going to the podiatrist now! L.

[DirtDiva]

Some Green & Black's chocky icecream jumped into my shopping basket tonight. I'm all sugared up and ready to give MP the first tow.

[SadieKate]

Yeah, but you'd probably dump her in some holly bush. She'd be springing leaks right and left.

[Nanci]

Who is AL???????? What is his movie?

I am more attracted to the thought of licorice than milk chocolate.

Lise, I think Peter Reid would enjoy a TD pillow fight- maybe that's a way to get his attention!!

I think my ride is rained out. I just got home with chicken chow mein and a bottle of Bogle Petit Syrah (love) and a bottle of Cooper Mountain Pinot Gris (never tasted yet, organic, but I tend to hoard my PG- so who knows when _that_ will get drank drunken drinked is drank right?).

In the fridge is a partial bottle of Florida local cream sherry (why did I not respect my aunt for being a sherry drinker sooner? Why did I think that was an old person's drink?) actually still leftover from the hated-salmon- it's too potent to drink every night, and the horrid Toasted Head Shiraz- I don't want to ruin my pipes by pouring it out, like I did with the glass I had- I'm not sure what to do with it- age it in the fridge, I guess, and an unopened Florida native red- very sweet, foxy, one of my favorites, and the new Bogle. (If not refrigerated here, a room temp red would be 80 degrees!!)

Hopefully it will clear long enough for the torts to go out and graze.

SK- did you miss in the frenzy last night that the board of directors took a vote and decided the Fagalo Volcano should be awarded a consolation prize for speediness and creativeness, although not the correct answer? The CP has not been selected yet, but PM me if you would like to claim it.
