In Search of my Body...Not The One I ate...#3 "Crowning Goddesses As We Go"

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Hi all. I had Bible Study again this Friday morning. Now I am working (in my head) on a halloween parade float for tomorrow night. It was supposed to be simple, but my head won't stop ticking with ideas. It's going to be a long night.

It was busy here last night. Lisa, when you show up, you really show up! So close to goal, yet maybe not. Isn't it ironic how alot of times our immediate struggle might be the same struggle happening to someone else at the same time?

(No you didn't miss a picture. I only got a trim.)

Liz, you so rock. And you are a rock. Literally, your transformation is a breath of hope.

Sarah - your pupster is cute.

Deb - I'm sorry you are in the middle of crises. Shutting down isn't going to solve anything. Scratch that idea. Here's a hug.

quick post for me this today, but will post more later...

work is dragging today and I really don't want to be here... TOM hit last night and I feel like crap... can't even complain about it because the guys definitely don't want to hear about that.... been snacking on every cookie I can find... ugh...

Anyways - tonight is movie night at home. I am eating JC food if it kills me... Thankfully, the weekend is a quiet one so I can get some quality workout time in so I can push through this bleh feeling...

Have a great day everyone and I'll talk to you soon,
Paula

Hi all--almost 6pm here and this is the first time I have turned on my computer today. In a faculty meeting all morning, then to the mall to return the iPhone (HATED it! Yes, I realize that I am like the only person on the planet), then on a 20-mile bike ride, then just finished cooking dinner and cleaning the house. PHEW!

Now I can focus on work (computer) this evening and then I will be ready for DISNEY! My goal is to have all week-end to pack, make lists, play on the boards, etc. Just get ready and get excited for the trip. Of course, I will have some job-related stuff to do, but if I really power through tonight, I will be in great shape.

Don't tempt me with AIM! Must work! I miss you guys when I don't check in multiple times throughout the day.

I was just at the grocery store....does anyone else think that white asparagus is...um....wrong? I mean...have you LOOKED at it? It's rather phallic...just sayin' is all...

Totally. It's just not supposed to look that way. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

I am definitely easily amused...

So...I hurt myself tonight...drinking, eating, drinking, talking while eating/drinking....laughing/talking/drinking/eating/drinking.....I did something to my jaw. Honestly. I think I dislocated it...it really hurts...even thru all that drinking.

waaahhhh... I think I need more....drinking...

Bite your tongue woman. I have other things to think about.

Do you know how why that asparagus is white? It was hidden from the sun while growing.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Steph - your post cracked me up. All of it. And I love that you are showing my picture around! Makes me happy.

Lyz - NO WAY!!! Like poor little veal!!!

No kidding. At least let me get thru Halloween first!

ummm...ok...so that's why it's WHITE. but...why is the...uh..."shape" different?

ugh...I had a bit too much red wine tonight

Can't smile, can't yawn...jaw hurts....maybe it'll be my new diet plan...the "I can chew because I threw my jaw out in a drunk-fest diet"....I oughta write a book...

Ok, don't hate me. But my Christmas shopping is all but done. I do this every year. I have to be done by Thanksgiving. HAVE to. Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year and I like to enjoy it. If I had to shop, I would just be crazy stressed and not be able to. Plus, with my dad as a minister, Christmas is a 4-day festival. Really. It last for 4 or 5 DAYS.

White is to asparagus as caged is to veal. Yeah, I am a bit punchy.

 

[3DisneyKids]

TWI....LOVE it!

 

[lisaviolet]

Well I've set my alarm. Grocery shopping. Vegetables.

Who knew?

 

[lisaviolet]

And Lyz,

That's "not quite yet" for sure. I'm just not sure where 25/30 pounds are coming off of?

Cause they're not coming off my butt! Not touching that. Hand's off scale stealing pounds. Cause I like it. Yes, I'm typing like I have bravado. Now that's funny.

I wish it was legs and arms for sure - I'm big. But then those darn bones are in the flippin' way.

My God. I'm like a different woman. It's like watching my own private intervention.

Have you all seen the MNSSHP parade. Cause I just have to say it. The boys with the shovels. Oh the boys with the shovels.

I don't even know who I am anymore. And I LOVE IT!!!! Puberty at 41. My Lord.

That's lovely Steph.

I know, it's fun, eh?

I show it and say LOOK AT HER!!!! LOOK AT HER!!! Isn't she incredible?

Oh Liz travelling through two countries. LOOK AT YOU!!!

Ok, don't hate me. But my Christmas shopping is all but done. I do this every year. I have to be done by Thanksgiving. HAVE to.

I'm hysterical. I am throwing every shoe I own. At You.

Ummm, flaunt it.

Now THAT is classic LYZ! Ha! Too funny!

Ok, so LIZ is making me post this. I didn't want to, but she says that I have to.

Next week Sunday I am doing a triathlon. Yes, while in Florida. On vacation.

It is just a short triathlon (1/2 mile swim, 12-mile bike, and 5k run). Why doing this while on vacation? Because who in hell would want to do one in Maine?!?!? It is cold here. And there are HILLS! Lots of them. Everywhere. Florida will be flat and warm. And this will give me license to eat and drink what I want while on vacation.

Unlike my Half that I did last month, I am not at all nervous for the tri. I have done each of these distances tons of times over. And I have been training...have done several training duathlons, etc. This will take less time than my Half, so I feel pretty confident going in.

It is just something I feel the need to do. Plus I want the t-shirt. It says Triathlete. How cool is that?
