ok, I gotta go watch last nights Project Runway. I'll check in later. Thanks for the amusing converation.
I'd be angry too. Run for 30 minutes and get a little gummy bear to chew on. "Let's see, should I start on the left ear or the right?"
ERIKA! You are not that much older than me...you were totally not allowed to stay up and watch SNL when Mr Bill was getting crushed and the Land Shark was coming to the door...btw, my dad used to do that with me. knock, knock..who's there? Candy gram! No, Land Shark!!!
Dan, you think I need some time in a therapist's office for that or what?![]()
Yes, totally take your cell just in case I call. I'm getting a pedicure tomorrow - what time is your run? I will call you during it. Bwahahahaha!
I hate packing. HATE IT. It's easier to pack for WDW than for a cruise!
As for mine, no cell while working. Or eating dinner with husband. Or getting waxed for vacation on Sat. So no cell phone checking yet!I'm totally sneaking this time in as it is, if you kwim. Wink wink.
I jogged the past few days but i just have no energy. I did it, but unlike the normal feeling great when i'm done, i just feel exhausted and miserable.... idk whats wrong![]()
lol. Well, I'd be delusional at mile 6.
have you seen that zip lock commercial? Where they sing, "Erica"? And she's doing the kitchen thing. Packing up food and stuff?
I am constantly singing "Erica".
But you're singing it with a K, right?![]()

HI LAR IOUS!
She was totally delusional. Like, for real. God bless her little skinny running behind.
OMG, I was totally freaking coherent! Totally!![]()
listen to this: I went to chat a little while ago, cause I was bored and tonights topic was food. And it was just me and someone else. And "the person" and I were randomly talking and this is what went down:
other person: "TY"
me: "your name TY, how long on DIS?"
op: "you talking to me?"
me: "yes, you did write TY, how long you been here?"
op: "TY means thank you"
turns out, TY is a she and I looked like a dufus.![]()
BTW you sound angry E should we explore that....lay down here and tell me about your realtionship with your mother....![]()

Oh but I so was allowed! First, hippie parents. We didn't really do bedtimes and such. Secondly, I am the youngest of 5. So my older sibs were all in high school, so they all watched it.

So glad they are liking school. Tyler met his teacher tonight and all he did was hug her. He is having trouble saying her last name but they will work on that. instead of Mrs. Thume it is mrs.zoom
And Princessrunner: Strawberries a splurge? In my world, strawberries are health food.Um yes I agree strawberrie = fruit fruit = healthy.. dip in sugar or chocolate and then I say YES that is a SPLUGE.
This thread has just not had enough action to suit me lately. Seems as if everyone is busy, busy, busy. (I can usually count on E to keep me running, but seems as if she's decided it's ok to lounge around the pool for the day. insert jelous smiley here.)
Steph - totally forgot you had thyroid issues. (Did you ask if the basement got wet when it floods? Good thing to ask now.)Yeah Thyroid issues as in NO thyroid.... such a pain and such a scar! But I do love to exaggerate and tell people that I had my neck slit... Well I did really just by a surgeon that still counts right?? Prisoners in the hospital love hearing that story. I tell them I am tough!
As for the flooding people there have never had flood insurance in 14 years out of the 16 years that they have owned the house. Basement doesn't get wet the water from the river it never ever even makes it as far as the pool. But who am I to argue with FEMA. They say it floods, they say I need flood insurance .. I get flood insurance.

Molli is LOVING jr high.
Maddi, well she likes Kindergarden. Alot. But...the teacher reported she cried twice today. Which is crazy, cause she went to preschool, but I guess it's just the change. She told me she missed me.![]()
Ok, I'll check in lay-ta.
Buh-bye. Buuuuuuuh-bye. Bh-bye. BBBBBBBuh-bye.
Bec ause you are skinny she is saying nada..because you were the fat SIL and she was the skinny one...now she does not know where she fits in anymore...she obviously has not developed a personality past her mirror yet...too bad she is married...Chad is available!![]()
again spitting stuff out of my mouthI'd be angry too. Run for 30 minutes and get a little gummy bear to chew on. "Let's see, should I start on the left ear or the right?"
Ok, now that my conference is over I can come back and make all of the comments I had to hold in...
Seriously, I usually think I am delusional just for attempting to run in the first place. Really? Like run? No one is chasing me with a gun or something, so why run?
I want to run somedays but that is because the kids are driving me NUTS and I just want to Run far far away!
Must find commercial. Liz....link?![]()
Haven't seen it either E, yes please post link
LOL---LYZ is a chat loser!![]()

Um, I am going to have to report this to Dawn. Here you are trying to get me to lie down with you...![]()

Handfuls, baby. By the handful!
Hello? I just ran 11 miles today! I am NO running tomorrow! My feet get a rest.
Are the toes BLACK???????
Ok, back to my original post...before the craziness broke in...
This long run was much better than last week's. My feet still hurt this time, but not nearly as bad. Not sure why, but I am happy. And the real thing was that last week I just felt like crap all over. This week the fueling really did the trick.
My time was good...it took me the same amount of time to run 11 miles this week as it did 10 miles last week. So that is encouraging.
I am still scared to death about the actual race. Like, how the F am I going to run 13.1 miles and not embarrass myself and live to tell about it?
Had a pretty good day today b/c I got to hang out with my boyfriend the tennis pro all day.I parked at the courts for my run (b/c my kids had tennis lessons...my mom picked them up after since I was still on my run when they were done), and so just Dan was hanging around when I got back from my run. There were lots of comments made about how he liked having me all hot and sweaty...
![]()
Then we went to the pool club. I picked the kids up from my mom and off we went. And Dan was ON FIRE today, too. Totally funny and cracking me up, which I dearly needed because Karen has been sapping all of the life and energy right out of me.
I am trying so hard to be a good friend through this, but honestly, I am fried. She calls or comes over multiple times a day and just cries and cries...so hard that she can't even speak. And when I get her to calm down, it is just the same conversation every time.
She even drove past me twice during my run. Like, was she thinking I would stop or something? Come on!
I had Dan be my wing man at the pool today. The rule was that if she was crying on me for more than 15 minutes, he would have to make something up and come get me out of there.
I do love her and I am so sad to see her like this. And she doesn't deserve it. She has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know. But there is just so little I can do for her and I am so drained from hearing it all day every day.
Thoughts on how to handle this?
Ok, that catches me up now.

She's gonna be "anniversarying." Listen to the podcast.![]()
I was totally thinking that. But it's lost here.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about the whole deal.
Must find commercial. Liz....link?![]()
LinkyLiz, I looked but couldn't find. Since you are the queen...
LOL---LYZ is a chat loser!![]()
And totally pointing it out to people myself.

Except what do you do when you get a green one? Yuck. Do you chuck it to the side of the road?

OMG, I missed my 4000th post!
So Tyler met his teacher tonight and all he did was hug her. He is having trouble saying her last name but they will work on that. instead of Mrs. Thume it is mrs.zoom
OMG, she drove by you on your run! That is crossing the line. I didn't want to be catty, cause she is obviously hurting, but, you have a life too.
Don't have any suggestions.
Just wakin' up the thread!![]()
Morning all! Busy day today. Why? Because we are going away for the week-end, AGAIN! Leaving today at 3-ish. Back either late Sat. night or Sunday.
I'll check in before we go.

My SIL has not seen me since Jan. Not one word about my loss. My MIL even brought it up, 75lbs etc etc and nothing. We talked about clothes, how I am wearing all borrowed ones, my BIL said something to me...her, nada. Not even a Gee, you look good. Like it didn't happen. I mean, even if you didn't know, you have eyes, right??? And she is skinny Minnie, so it's not jealousy. She is super tiny. She wears size two bikinis!
Ah, well. It's only 8 days on a ship with her, right?
Sheesh! Maybe she is eyeing up her "competition"....I mean, really - when you look better in YOUR bikini than she does in hers...![]()
Well, my coach has me trying out different things. Most runners use gel (it is the glob of carbs and sugar and caffeine...and tastes like what cough syrup would if it was in jello form...blech!) So I am trying things like a power bar (broken into 4ths and taking one chunk every 30 minutes. And gummy bears. Those are great because they have both protein and carbs. And they don't melt.
I put it in my pockets....thus wanting something that doesn't melt.
I have a "fuel belt" - carries 3 little water bottles (about 8oz each I'd guess) and another little "pocket" that I put things in...I am a gel person - prefer the GU over the PowerGel stuff....but only the "mild" flavors. Vanilla, banana....nothing too sugary or too sweet, they make me sick to my stomachlip balm...I suppose I could put the cell phone in it, but I don't, although I'm typically not alone
Ok, so I did my run! WOO HOO!11 miles in the book. And it was completely unlike my long run last week. I felt like total crap after that one. After this one...fine! The difference was that I fueled along the way. My coach has me fueling (eating) for any run that lasts longer than 60 minutes. It is VERY weird to eat while you run, I tell ya. But it really made a huge difference in how I felt.
Ooops...phone (Karen) will finish this post in a bit.
lol. Well, I'd be delusional at mile 6.

Good rule!

Ok, that catches me up now.
OMG, I missed my 4000th post!
I know...I feel awful complaining about her. And I had total guilt having Dan act as my wing man to get me out of the situation. But talk about being smothered!
Yesterday I was on the tennis court for a quick match with Dan. Maybe about 40 minutes. And in that time...I had 3 missed calls on my cell from her. Really.
And then later that day (this is yesterday), I was at the club with Dan and we were talking about the 3 missed calls. And I said, "Ok, it is 1:45pm, what time do you think it will be when she tracks me down here?" So we made a bet. He said 2:10. I said, no it will be a full hour, so 2:45. What time does she pull up? 2:43! We both about blew a gasket!
So once she gets there, she just comes right over to me, drops all of her stuff at my feet and throws her arms around me and just starts sobbing. And I am looking at Dan like, "See? This is what I am dealing with ALL DAY." I all but had to carry her to a pool chair and get her in it.
And then today it was 6 phone calls total, the 2 drive-bys while I was running, and then time at the pool club. I am just burned the F out. And this is only the beginning. It is going to get worse, I am pretty sure. Because I think Wendy wants to make this permanent. K keeps thinking they are going to go to counseling and everything is going to be ok. I don't think so. I think that Wendy is waiting to get to counseling so that she can tell Karen there...once she already has a therapist...that she is not coming back and it is 100% over. Yikes. Then I don't know what I will do.
Call me bad names if you must, but I am at a loss on this one.
So...this morning I got up, waited for the crack of dawn, So that's what I felt watching me...thought it was Dan...Oh that's right...he was busy with E on the couch! LMAO!!!!
