In Search of My Body - Not the One I Ate, VOL 8...It's Never Too Late To Start Again!

[HockeyKat]

Oh btw, forgot that I texted Erika with this earlier. Again, what have you people DONE to me? Buying running shoes?? Like, not at a discount store?

I got the Asics Gel-1140, in white/storm/capri blue.

Brilliant?

That's what I was looking for!

Welcome to the dark side.

Nancy - did you sing with your edit? Of course you did.

Erika! You can't burn those DVDs. OMG. .

Did they recognize John Travolta? Or do they know him? Let's start with that. I know he looks the same in some ways but it's interesting how their brains take things in. How they see it. So interesting. About FIVE YEARS AGO - FIVE YEARS AGO out of one of our nephews mouth about Mary J. Blige. "She's old now man". I almost pummeled him. Then - the same one - when Michael Jackson died was spellbound that Michael Jackson was actually older than me. How can he be older than you?

So cute.

Amiee - how's the hunt? Any prospects? Excuse me while I live through you.

Hey ladies! Just got home from babysitting. Had a Michael Jackson dance party, did a big art project and baked and frosted sugar cookies. Not bad considering the kids were in bed by 730!

Lisa- I know the show Welcome Back Kotter and I'm only 28. I haven't seen it but I know of it. I do love MASH though and that's older I think.

Kat- Hearing all about your new sneakers is giving me new sneaker envy. I'm told myself I'd go get fitted for new ones at the end of the month. I'll blame you when I spend too much money.

I had more I was going to respond to but its late and my brain is mush.

Oh has anyone read the Percy Jackson novels? The movie comes out in about two weeks and I'm psyched. Just thought I'd share because I just saw a tv ad and geeked out.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Good morning!!!!


It's lovely and snowy here in the Garden State.

I realized when I woke up and saw my new sneaks that today is 9 miles. All plotted out. Um, not so much now. So hopefully I can get to the gym tomorrow or tonight - another TM. Ugh!

We are having a Super Bowl party tomorrow. I bought cute napkins and plates and a chip bowl shaped like a football. I love that part of party planning. I also bought these cute napkins and plates for when people come over and we have appetizers. The napkins with a picture of a woman and a little girl, black and white, and say something like "That was a charming story; now go make Mommy another martini".

Lisa - any package arrive for Jean?

LOVE the dance party! You sound like the best babysitter EVER. Want to come to NJ?

Tell me more about the books!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Good morning! No snow for us, just freezing temps. Jeff ran this morning and it was NEGATIVE TWO. I am waiting till it "warms up" to a balmy 12 before I go for my run. Not looking forward to it and grateful that it is 4 miles and not Liz's nine!

Have a great day!

 

[SeptemberGirl]

I'm jealous. And I really never thought I'd say that about Maine in the winter!

Just made a breakfast sandwich. Egg beaters, Light MultiGrain English Muffin, and (don't freak out on me, it's processed) Cheddar Bacon cheese. Yeah. Tastes like cheddar AND bacon. And it's 2pts. I had to try it. The whole thing was 4pts and it tasted real.

The thing is, I don't dig on breakfast food. I like a good sandwich when I'm hungover, but other than that, I don't eat eggs in the morning, or cheese or pancakes or french toast. Or bacon or sausage. Or cereal. Yuck. I like fruit and nice English muffin with peanut butter. Or a handful of almonds.

So. I suggest this for people who LIKE breakfast!

 

[adsrtw]

Amiee - how's the hunt? Any prospects? Excuse me while I live through you.

Still hunting that illusive species. My arrow is ready.

 

[adsrtw]

Good morning! No outside wog for me - ice. Yuck. E-12 sounds better? Liz-breakfast sounds yummy.

 

[3DisneyKids]

LIZ--I eat my version of that every morning! Seriously, like 5 mornings out of 7 I have the following:

A whole grain (1 pt.) english muffin, 3 egg whites (1 pt.) and 2 strips of veggie bacon (1 pt.). It's a 3 point breakfast and SO good and a great blend of protein and complex carbs.

So, (and Liz, you will love this), we are having a family jam night this evening. And in honor of the Super Bowl tomorrow, we are doing all Who. Riley is practicing right now because he is singing lead to Behind Blue Eyes. SO cute. We are huge fans in this house. Not football. The Who.

 

[adsrtw]

That sounds like fun. I have a huge crush on Roger!

 

[poppinspal]

Liz- I really enjoy being with kids and I figure as a babysitter I'm only there a few hours a day (or in last nights case 6 hours) so we shouldn't be watching tv we should be doing fun things. I either bake or do an art project every time I'm over. I love doing things with kids! I suppose the drive to NJ wouldn't be so far for a night of babysitting.... Boston to NJ... it's only like what five hours?

I first heard about the Percy Jackson novels from a girl on one of the buses down in Disney. They are geared towards the same crowd the Harry Potter books are aimed at. Percy Jackson lives in New York City and finds out that not only are the Greek Gods real and alive but he is the son of one of them. (In case you decide to read them I won't tell you here.) In each book he goes on different adventures with some other children of the Gods. The first book is called Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Lightning Thief. The movie has some big names... Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean, Rosario Dawson and Uma Therman. (A minotaur, Zeus, Persephone and Medusa respectively.) Obviously I really enjoy the books and look forward to the movie. Here's the link to the movie website. Oh and the girl on the bus in Disney told me about the books because I was dressed like Athena for the Halloween party. She didn't randomly start telling me about books!

Phew ok I'm done rambling about it. Books make me geek out. Off to make some eggs because you all have me hungry and craving eggs.

SWEET! Now they'll match our marathon running shirts. This training is bringing out your inner Fashionista Kat!

Nancy - did you sing with your edit? Of course you did.

No question. Of COURSE I did. I always do. My life is one very strange and diverse soundtrack.

Hey ladies! Just got home from babysitting. Had a Michael Jackson dance party, did a big art project and baked and frosted sugar cookies. Not bad considering the kids were in bed by 730!

WOW! The kids must adore you!

haha. sneaker envy. That made me chuckle.

Rub it in why don't you.


The napkins with a picture of a woman and a little girl, black and white, and say something like "That was a charming story; now go make Mommy another martini".

LOVE it! Did I ever tell you that Becca is amazing at choosing wine? Honestly. Since the time she was about 5 years old, she's been selecting wine. It's a rather odd site to see a full grown woman with a kindergartener in the packy trying to decide what to buy, and then the child will smartly ask "well, what are you making for dinner, because that will help me decide". Can't tell you how many heads we've turned over the years.

And for the record, no, we do not allow our children to drink alcohol.

I hear yah. The football game is something to be endured until the half time show!



OMG. Becca just called me on my cell phone. From upstairs. I thought she was just being lazy, but apparently she didn't know I was home from the gym.

 

[3DisneyKids]

I know...Riley texts me from his bedroom when I am downstairs.

 

[poppinspal]

Amiee- I have a crush on Roger too, even if he's old enough to be my father.

Erika- Sounds like a fun night! Behind Blue Eyes is one of my favorite songs.

Nancy- I love these kids and luckily they really like me. (And so do their parents.) The parents are leaving the kids home for a long weekend with their grandparents and the grandparents even requested I came over for a little while to play with the kids. It's nice to feel so appreciated.

Haha sneaker envy is a real think, I'm sure of it.... check webmd, I'm sure it's there!

I love to hear what people are doing for the game tomorrow or their alternatives to watching the game. The Patriots are out but my Dad's family still has a big super bowl party and this year we'll root against the Colts. We also rent ice time at a hockey rink before every superbowl and we all go out and skate. Yeah, my love of hockey seems to just be in my genes.
