In Search of My Body....Not the One I ATE! Vol. 5: Goddesses are Always on Top!

[lisaviolet]

Hi to everyone. I have some to catch up on. But don't have it in me.

to everyone. I might be off for a few days. Simply because I feel very heavy and much too vunerable riight now. So to all. I'm just so tired. And I don't want to seem like a constant drama. Which I seem to be these days. I know in my heart that I'm not - I'm just healing some things - it's just a very lonely place to push through some things.

Nancy - I'm sorry that you;re floundering. I caught that. But good for you for keeping parts on track.

But I'm smiling through tears , even though I compleely understand your frustration, cause all I'm thinking is you know you look fantastic anyway, right?

 

[adsrtw]

Happy Friday Evening everyone!

Roddy-No need to hide your true feelings about HP. HP is awesome. I was so sad when they postponed the release of HBP. Your veggie garden sounds wonderful!!

Liz--You definitely need to rewatch GOF. RPatz IS smoldering as cedric. And Edward. i still have not gotten over my twilight viewing from this afternoon.

Erika-Any input on a training plan your running guy can give would be great!! I am planning on venturing in to my running store and inquiring about any groups that I may be able to do long runs with. I know a lot of locals do the marathon, there has got to be at least a few people that I could run with. I am very concerned about probably having to do the longest training run around the holidays. Ugh. But it will be worth it when we cross the finish line and head to EPCOT for the drinks!!

Lyz- Loved the egg pics! I am going to try and do a few tomorrow night.

Paula- Hope you are feeling better soon!

EE-I got my phone on Ebay. Someone whose name begins with a D and ends with an A spilled something on my phone and I needed to get a new one. My contract was no where near over so I looked on ebay and got one for way below what verizon would have sold me it for.

Slightly buzzed here, so if something doesn't make sense, feel free to blame the third glass of wine I just had!!

Oh, I might have to take a look at ebay. And I can't imagine who you are talking about. Never!

LisaV ~ so sorry you are struggling with emotional stuff

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Lisa, I don't think you seem like constant drama. And you know I'm not just saying that!

Besides, I can barely keep anything about anyone in my head right now. For instance, I spoke to Jodi tonight about bringing something over. 5 mins later I call her back to tell her something else about it, and she was like, yes, I know. We JUST talked about this!

See? My mind - not there!

But do what you need to do.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Hi! I am up bright and early this Saturday morning as we are headed out of town for the holiday week-end. Remember last summer when we were out of town every. single. weekend??? Looks like that schedule is starting up again. I will be without internet till Sunday night.

I can text though.

Listen, I know that I have been thoughtless and self-absorbed and not responding to most people's posts. And I am truly sorry. Please, please don't take it personally. While I am definitely not in "crisis" I absolutely DO have a lot on my plate right now. So I just can't be here the way I would like to. But I am hoping to be back to normal after Monday. Let's hope. Who ever said that normal was boring? I would kill for a little boring right now, kwim?

Have a fantastic holiday everyone!

Lyz--gorgeous eggs! If I think of it, I will post pics of my catasrophes. Wow, are they awful!

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

HI Guys!
Remember me! I spent all day yesterday .. well the time before work ..RAKING! I raked the whole front lawn. I am very very sore, today. I am now going to go tan and hit the side yard again, and then Got to my MIl's to DRINK. SIL brought stuff to make Jello shots and I am bringing the Malibu and Pineapple juice. We have breakfast reservations for tomorrow and then Lunch @ MIL house.
THe kids are off till Next Monday~ I have to work two of the days which isn't bad. I also have some testing being done this coming week too.
So I may be hit or miss this week as The Husband is home so we will be outside doing yard work for the week. Yesterday he built me a stone wall around a flower bed. It used to have railroad ties but the were rotting and there was a wasp nest in one and zac got stung 6 times last year in one shot, so out the came. I will have to take a picture of it and put it up.
Everyone have a great EASTER!

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Lyz - your easter eggs are beautiful!!!

They make me smile!

Love them all.... Great job!

Thanks Paula.

I am getting ready to run C@%K W9D3.

I didn't catch this till Nancy highlighted it.

Now safely back home I have a very small dog curled up and sleeping in my lap.

Awww. My doxy's birthday is today. Marvin is 11! I didn't hang up the birthday sign, much to Madeline's distress. He can't read afterall. He will celebrate with gourmet cookies (for pooches.)

Lyz - I was like cutie made a gay egg, cutie made a gay egg. But no, eh? I'm so laughing. I loved the pictures.

Lisa! No, my eggs have no "party affliation". The colors of the rainbow are simply beautiful.

Me - Sighing. I answered Erika's Q about why I'm down a couple of nights ago and edited before work. I edited Cutie. Thought those days were over, eh?

I'm struggling. Everything is difficult. Eating consciously and even exercising - which I never struggle with. (Thanks for asking Liz)

It's attached to my pictures I posted from VB. I don't know how to explain this all without sounding like an absolute 12 year old lunatic. And part of me has kept it off here because it's hard for me to post such crap around others who are truly hurting/facing important issues. Someone, who I want to be clear was not being lurid, gave me some compliments that were a tad on the sexual side in my mind. Remember it's my mind - not to be seen. And I've struggled and struggled since that moment. It's like I can't hold the pictures or the compliments. I know this seems small and silly - I know. But it's huge, unfortunately. And draining me. I feel like I want to go to sleep for a year. Sighing. But if I can push through these feelings it will be an important breakthrough for me.

Okay, let's see if I can keep it on this time.

Hi and love to everyone. Most days I simply don't know what I would do without you guys. So thank you.

Lisa - sorry you are struggling. Take a few days. Get outside your head. You have alot going on right now.

Well, I can't believe I said that I'd planted a garden and didn't say what I'd planted. So, I planted zucchini, yellow squash, large cucumbers, small cucumbers and peppers. I have no idea what kind of peppers they are, they were free at the place because they'd lost the tag that said what they were.

I'm hoping for hot peppers, jalapenos, banana peppers or something. But, with my luck they'll be bells. Which is ok, but I prefer hot peppers. Oh, and tomatoes for the rest of my family. Blech.

So the idea of a garden is just wonderful, up to the point of planting it and tending it. So not for me. Tomatoes. Yum. I'm making a tomatoe tart for Easter.

Fun. My kids don't care about Easter Baskets anymore. Cash. that's all they are after



I'm right there in the weeds with you Erika. So far behind in life I'm not sure I'll EVER catch up. Can I declare "life bankruptcy"?

You can't. OMG I know how you feel. I was there last week. Thankfully,
that is behind me now. I've slept in 2 days in a ROW!!!!!!!! Oh and a nap is definatley in todays plan.

Speaking of work - I have to work tomorrow morning - early too . So time for me to go to bed. Need to get up early enough to get in some kind of run before I go. And I should staple my lips shut so that I can't EAT anything [/B][/COLOR]

Oh I bet you're super busy with Easter.

EE-I got my phone on Ebay. Someone whose name begins with a D and ends with an A spilled something on my phone and I needed to get a new one. My contract was no where near over so I looked on ebay and got one for way below what verizon would have sold me it for.

Lyz, those eggs look amazing. I watched Martha do them on TV today. She wears gloves and holds them down. And covers them in lace for patterns. You basically did what she does!!!

Oh, I love Martha. Sorry I missed that.

Hi! I am up bright and early this Saturday morning as we are headed out of town for the holiday week-end. Remember last summer when we were out of town every. single. weekend??? Looks like that schedule is starting up again. I will be without internet till Sunday night.

Yes, I remember. Sucks. Your camp has internet access, right?

Listen, I know that I have been thoughtless and self-absorbed and not responding to most people's posts. And I am truly sorry. Please, please don't take it personally. While I am definitely not in "crisis" I absolutely DO have a lot on my plate right now. So I just can't be here the way I would like to. But I am hoping to be back to normal after Monday. Let's hope. Who ever said that normal was boring? I would kill for a little boring right now, kwim?

No worries mate.

Lyz--gorgeous eggs! If I think of it, I will post pics of my catasrophes. Wow, are they awful!

Somehow I doubt that.

I literally have very little going on. It's WONDERFUL. Have to make food for tomorrow. Word.

Steph! Yes post pictures of the flowerbed wall. Sounds pretty.

Kat - are you cheating on us with another thread?

 

[AKASnowWhite]

It is SO gross here today. Cold, raw, gray. And some random guy just stopped and is standing in the front yard talking to hubby. Wierd.

I am very concerned about probably having to do the longest training run around the holidays. Ugh. But it will be worth it when we cross the finish line and head to EPCOT for the drinks!!

Not gonna sugar coat it here, honey. Training thru the holidays is tough. I am not one of those super-organized people who has their Christmas shopping done before Labor Day . Lots of things had to fall by the wayside that year. And...no alcohol. That was really interesting. Christmas with my family was almost unbearable. But I absolutely HAD to go alcohol-free as it really has an awful effect on my running.

I will say, though - marathon training was like childbirth for me. Miserable at times when I was going thru it, but looking back? eh - not so bad at all And the sense of accomplishment was HUGE.

Also, I sort of kill living things that aren't pets or children.

Me too. I have a black thumb! I have been known to kill cactus's even! My MIL bought me an artifical orchid last week. So pretty. My mother walked in and nearly fainted - she thought it was REAL! There is no.way. I could ever grow that for real.

Nancy - I'm sorry that you;re floundering. I caught that. But good for you for keeping parts on track.

But I'm smiling through tears , even though I compleely understand your frustration, cause all I'm thinking is you know you look fantastic anyway, right?

Thanks. Who was it that said that when we are at our worst is when we need this the most? Lyz? Liz? One of those smarties I think. Please know that we are here. And we care. So don't go into hiding on us, okay?

Who ever said that normal was boring? I would kill for a little boring right now, kwim?

No, no. Normal and uneventful are AWESOME. We like that Have fun this weekend!

SIL brought stuff to make Jello shots and I am bringing the Malibu and Pineapple juice.

Yum. Jello shots.

Tanning again. That must mean the dreaded rash is on the mend?




I've already been to work and back this a.m. - have a zillion errands to run today, then Becca has her M.S. play tonight. Have a great day all, I'll catch up later!

 

[goofyfan-12]

ugh... feel like total crap today... Jesse sent me home after about 20 minutes of a light workout because I had lost all color in my face. I am off to become one with my bed now so I can kick this before Dad's surgery on Monday...

Have a great Easter everyone!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Hi everyone

So I have finally packed! I know, nothing like leaving it till the last minute! Still got a million and one things to do, so this is just a fly-by!

Roddy - Hi! Thought of you earlier - theres a new Dr Who episode showing in 10 minutes, an Easter special!

Lyz - Love your eggs

LisaV - Take some time for you, no apologies needed

Everyone - sorry if Ive missed anything

Be back later

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Kelly - have a good time in Cyprus. And take pictures so we can see you in your dress.

Regarding you MIL - well you could take the high road, but I don't advise it. Lol. You can be sweet and snarky all at the same time. If you dish her crap back at her, there are 3 possibilites, all of which are in your favor.
1. Nothing will happen and everything will stay the same. Eh.
2. She'll be really annoyed with you. Who cares at this point, right?
3. She might be respect you. Bullies only bully people who let them.

So when she cuts you down or belittles you, snark right back. And then come tell us, so we can laugh and laugh and laugh.

How long are you gone? Will you be checking in?

. I have been the same way, for much fewer legitimate reasons.

Kat - are you cheating on us with another thread?

Umm. I have been, for years now! Remember, I started with the Peeps first... I am also part of a few others on WISH. I haven't been much more active on any of them than I have here, though. For whatever reason, I have been really blah lately. Not much to say.

[adsrtw]

Happy almost Easter everybody!

Oh, and before I forget ~ Happy Birthday Marvin!

LisaV ~

Liz ~ Can't wait to hear about your luau. It's a surprise to your mom and dad right?

Kelly ~ have a great trip!

Paula ~ get well soon!

I can't decide what to make for Easter brunch. I'm leaning toward an eggbeater quiche or frittata, maybe some ham with mustard sauce, and asparagus. The goal is to have a food fest without guilt.

Be back later!

 

[RodK1975]

Roddy - Hi! Thought of you earlier - theres a new Dr Who episode showing in 10 minutes, an Easter special!

I'm so jealous. Hopefully someone will post it on youtube tonight. You have to come back and tell me how it was.

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Your advice rocks! And, thankyou for 'getting it'
We'll be gone for a week, we land back at lunch time on Sunday 19th - I'll be able to check in Sunday night when I get home.
I don't think I'll be able to check in whilst im over there.

For whatever reason, I have been really blah lately. Not much to say.

I know that feeling

Kelly ~ have a great trip!

Thanks

I'm so jealous. Hopefully someone will post it on youtube tonight. You have to come back and tell me how it was.

It was excellent! I really hope you find it on youtube. I know it will be on BBC I-Player website, not sure if you can access that in the US? I hope so!

So, im checking out for a week - Be good! If you cant be good, make it worth it

See you guys in a week - Over and Out

 

[RodK1975]

It was excellent! I really hope you find it on youtube. I know it will be on BBC I-Player website, not sure if you can access that in the US? I hope so!

No, BBC never lets me access anything. I'll just have to wait.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

No, BBC never lets me access anything.

That's cause you're on their "list".

LisaV - your red trench. Featured in April's InStyle Magazine. Page 135 (I think). How cool is that! You are on the cutting edge sista.

Happy Easter Everyone! The next time you hear from me, I will have eaten too much, said too many inappropriate things, and above all, repeatidly reminded my little one that Easter is NOT about the Easter Bunny. Good times.

 

[Ronda93]

Good Easter morning everyone! Yesterday was a gorgeous day here in KC. Mild temperature, but sun all day long. I had signed off saying I was running Friday night. I didn't. We waited until Saturday when DGF and I ran to the Plaza and had lunch at a fancy salad place (the Mixx - for anyone local. pricey, but great). We dropped a car off there earlier in the morning and jogged three miles to eat. It was perfect weather. We had a nice, slow pace. It's the same general route as the race we're signed up for (4/26).

After that we primed my little benches and two Adirondack chairs we found over the winter on Craigslist. They will get painted today. I can tell by the light coming in the windows that it's overcast today, but I haven't been outside yet. We're headed to church and the grocery store.

Until now my running schedule has been very rigid. Every other day. Period. Now something has to give. I have golf on Tuesdays. The lawn will need to be mowed. The treadmill has been great for cooler weather, but I'm wanting to get outside. There's a park behind our office building. I may start running there before work. There are lots of options around our neighborhood, too. I just need to pick one.

Gotta run. Everyone have a great day.
Ronda

UUHHGG It was nice here Cold but nice! THen IT got dark and I thought what maybe were BUGS hitting the windshield was NOT bugs but SNOW! yes your read that right SNOW!
Yum. Jello shots.

Tanning again. That must mean the dreaded rash is on the mend?

We came to the conclusion it was a burn some type of chemical burn. I didn't do Jello shots or anything for that matter I got to MIL to later and was driving myself so no alcohol!

Steph! Yes post pictures of the flowerbed wall. Sounds pretty.

I will get on that!

Kelly - have a good time in Cyprus. And take pictures so we can see you in your dress.

Kelly I know your gone but I hope that you have a great time.
LYZ I so LOVE this advise! Because your right bullies only bully those who they know they can Bully!

 

[goofyfan-12]

Happy Easter everyone!!!!

Nothing big going on here. I am still sick, so no Easter events for me. My family is down the street at our neighbor's house enjoying easter dinner. I have been sipping Gatorade and eating Saltines for the second day now. I did try some unsweetened applesauce and so far that seems to be holding its own. We shall see. Tomorrow's weigh in (assuming I make it there) should be interesting. If only the loss would last I'ld be fine.

Anyways - hope you are all enjoying this special day with friends and family. Easter is about rebirth so let's celebrate that!
