Liz - I want a honking big house. It's my dream. We build too many, I have so many ideas and opinions. Must. Win. Lottery.
EriKa - you have an assistant? Who knew. Are you tight?
Liz, yes, I do. I think people around me are constantly a bit baffled about how I live. Mostly due to the lifestyle, though, but also the stark surroundings.
However, my closet is probably as big as E's, or close to it. This house has a lot of space, a lot more than 2 people and 2 cats probably need. We have two bedrooms that are barely used, and even one bedroom closet that is virtually empty.
Lisa, how big is your place again? 400? I lived in 500 sq ft when I lived in Chicago and I loved it. It was an open, airy space with great views.
E, loved the princess half links. I SO want to do it. Even with the pink shirts!![]()
I wish I had been sleeping. Instead, I was at the gym. Had my 8:00 am "beating". OMG she totally kicked my @ss.Totally and completely. I am SO whooped. She laughed and promised me that I would be thinking about her tomorrow - when the thought of stairs made me cry.
Yep. I'm toast.
Hi Steph! Good to hear from you.![]()
I saved mine from the WDW marathons.![]()
I find it very interesting to see how others live. I'm not into "excessive". Just don't see the need for it, kwim? But others just have this need to be living in a museum-like house. I won't even call it a "home" because you feel like you have to be uber careful with everything. Not my style. I mean - I have GOATS in my house every now and then. I gotta be practical!![]()
The Harry Potter Child.![]()
I have a different perspective now though. Our house is big enough - about 3500sq ft. For our area, it's pretty average size. And yes, I have 3 kids so it's been great. But I'm seeing the light at the end of my "kids living at home" tunnel!As one gets ready to leave for college, and the baby headed for H.S. I can't help but wonder how much longer I *need* to live here.
The bigger the house, the more crap that you fill it with - the longer it takes to cleanNot that I'm ready for retirement or anything...I dunno. If I were to move today, I would look for a house that was a step down in size I think.
That's awesome. Love it![]()
We do it just to annoy you.![]()
BEAUTIFUL day here today. Simply gorgeous. If I weren't so whooped, I'd get my bike out and ride. But I'd probably fall off right now![]()
Besides - gotta go sew. less than 2 weeks until the show, and I just want to be done!
Still waiting.
Roddy. She treats it like a booty call.
I am in the sun now.![]()
When we get to goal we do get extra points so we can maintain our weight. Not sure if its 4 points - knowing my luck it will only be one!![]()
Triathamom. I love it![]()

Me either!

Red is definitely the way to go. Black is awful. Can't even stand sambuca.
.
Not when will I find time, but how am I going to fit in all the different kinds?
See why peanut butter cups were an easier choice?![]()
I just want my second bathroom so I don't have to hold it while my four year old reads books on the potty.
Jodi and Greg have the same house we do.
.
I got a Bondi that just says TRI on it (in the oval sticker style).
And I got my mom and I matching shirts. On the front it says Triathlete with big graphic in the center of the swim/bike/run. And on the back it says:
Swim
Bike
Run
Tri
Finish
Just like that in a line down the center. I will post pics. And the kids gave me a tech shirt that says Triathamom. LOVE that.
What the flip?
I can sit here all day and no one will post. I take my time logging in and thinking there may be a few posts when I do and there's like 3-4 pages.![]()
Nancy - good question.
Thank you. And I'd be delighted to know if anyone has a good answer![]()
Ok, so I broke down. We walked to the candy store. It was wonderful and now I'm eating licorice laces. Just sayin.
Killer workout. Nice. I'd love to see pics of your backyard. Is it glorious Nancy?
Currently muddy and brown. Not an attractive view quite frankly!![]()
Where the heck is Paula? Is she having an affair with Jesse?![]()
![]()
Paula is off for the weekend. Boston.
Hi all - barely concious in the middle of another narcotic hazebut i thought i'd check in. Kind of sick of being in pain.... oh well.
So i noticed a lot of house chat, wanted to chime in because we finally have all of the mortgage preapproval out of the way, paperwork is in order, so tomorrow, we go househunting for the first time. I'm very excited![]()
I finally was able to eat semi-solid food today. Bruce grilled me a little hamburger, and i was able to little by little eat almost half of it! Yay me, i'll be back to chewing in no time!![]()

Everything is two seconds from me. Everytning. A myriad of food within minutes/seconds. Beyond choices. In fact, are you ready Nancy - I have a convenience store in the building where I don't have to go outside.It sits right beside the elevator. I could go in my PJs if I so desired.
Nancy--believe it or not, I don't know about the gender thing. I thought it was only for women. But when I look at the Wish Racing team list of who is running, there are men listed. So...(just for you, Roddy!).
Ok, it is 7:45, which means 8:45, so I am heading to bed to get some rest before the big day!
Thank You, Erika. I needed another "" to get an extra life and more ammunition for my bazooka I used to fight off bad guys.
here - let me help you achieve your next level![]()

We are Harry Potter fans here as well. Watching the HP Weekend on ABC Family. Prisoner of Azkiban just started. While I do enjoy the movies, I like the books much better.
Just a friendly reminder....don't forget to change your clocks!
LisaV & Kelly - do you guys do that too? or is it just an American thing?
Watch what you're saying 32. Almost 42 is listening.
My first thought was red. I hope they were red. Then I realized. You WALKED to a candy store? How far is that from you. Criminey. I live in the friggin' STICKS.
Steph walks to the tanning salon. You walk to the candy store. The closest *anything* to me is a solid 4 miles. Well - except our little post office & library branch - we have little "satellite facilities" for those of us stick people

Speaking of Harry Potter, I can hardly wait to see "Half-Blood Prince".
Well, I was expecting it from you, "Nancy
" , but not everyone else.

Just got back from Watchmen, dinner, and drinks. Nice night with Jodi, Greg, and our friend Mary. We decided Watchmen was good but too much gratuitous violence. And a sex scene none of us needed to see. Not for kids, this one. But a good movie that i liked but I wouldn't own, if you know what I mean.
Dinner - sushi, good. Drinks, wine, yum. We discussed being the Spice Girls for Halloween this year - we were Rocky Horror last year. I got voted as Posh. Shocker, right?Jodi as Sporty, Mary wanted and got Baby, and we drafted another friend as Ginger. And I told Greg he has to be Scary. Because a man being Scary is awesome.
So. Have to go to bed so I can exercise tomorrow. Oy to the vey. This will pay off, right?
Jodi is doing well, thanks. Sorry I keep forgetting to answer that. Totally normal thus far. Crazy but normal.
I, too, love HP and can't wait for HBP.
