In Search of My Body vol. 10 - taking it one paper towel at at time

[3DisneyKids]

Welcome back, Lisa! I expect you to catch up and comment repeatedly.

Kat--awesome job on the 10 pounds! It's a great start! I have lost in just the last 10 days (since I got back on the wagon). It feels great. Of course, I know it is the *easy* weight. But still, it is the motivation that I needed to keep going.

Nothing to report from the orthopedist visit today. X-rays were good, which I assumed they would be. I am thinking it is a cart. tear (or maybe a ligament) - but neither of those would show on an x-ray. So I have an MRI in a week. It definitely hurts, though. Not good.

Good luck with your MRI E.

I had a girly moment and got my hair colored, brows dyed and waxed, and eyelashes tinted. Most of you know that I lost my biggest client Monday after the half (another reason why the half's timing was soo good). We had known about it for a while, but they were mine going back to when I was a rep. Needless to say, I have been a little lost. As far as clients go, I have quite a lot less than my cohort at work. My boss is going to be giving me client responsibility for any new ones that come on for a while, so I feel better about job stability. I just have to hold out a few more years! Other than that, work is good. Lots of work going on and all that jazz.

I might have shared this, but I don't recall and I am too tired to look for it. The midterm was a disaster. I got the 2nd highest grade - an 89%. The average grade was a 69%. Yipes!

That's about it for me - still keeping on track. We are having huge wind gusts tonight, so it is going to be an enjoyable evening.

 

[adsrtw]

Good morning!

I'm freezing my fanny off in Southern IN. We went from mid-70's yesterday to 40. I'm at my desk and I can feel the wind around my wall of windows. My fingers are numb and I have a blanket on my lap. Insanity!

I have failed again with breakfast and I am paying for it. So hungry!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Freezing her to EE, we went from 50-60 to 30 today maybe some snow

Knock Em Dead Tomorrow Nancy!!!!
Great job on your sewing. Sweat shop is closed (I hope)

Just for once, I wish this whole weight loss thing would not be so D@MN Hard

Word!

I'm still here. Getting ready to head off the Oddyssey of the Mind state tournament. I am having breakfast on Sunday with a superintendent that I used to work with. He was like a dad to me on the site. Can't wait to see him.

Welcome back Lisa!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

pssst.....remember me?

I'm back. Almost. Costumes are DONE with the exception of a few minor fixes/adjustments. Opening night tomorrow I think I may even get to the gym in the morning

 

[3DisneyKids]

WOO HOO, Nancy! So glad the worst is behind you. Well, not worst, but you know what I mean.

So exciting about the show! Love performance week!

Wagon--still going very well here! Working my plan it is WORKING. For now anyway.

My life will continue to be crazy through April 9th. That's the State Meet (gymnastics--Kelly). And we are just busy, busy till then. Soccer is gearing up, but fortunately won't be full-on till after States. In the mean time, my house is slowly turning into a gymnastics center. I have mats in the living room. And a beam in the play room. And we're working on a bar for the basement. Oh yeah, I am driving the crazy train! On the other hand, though, it is super fun to be in the thick of it. It's all very exciting.

Behind on work and my house is a mess. *sigh* There are worse things.

 

[DisneyGalUK]

OMG, again checking in for the first time today.

A Kelly sighting! So exciting! CAN'T WAIT to hear about the race! I haven't asked about your pace...what are you running at? (How many minutes does it take you to go one mile?)

E - Sorry about the knee, hope the MRI helps!

Im a rubbish runner - I don't know my pace I really need to start timing my runs - I'll do it at my next one!

Im excited for the race too - I have time to prepare, the race im joining is 17th July, very excited!

Nancy - Congratulations on getting the costumes finished

Lisa - Nice to see you!!!

Everyone - Hi

Hope everyone has a great Friday

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Morning goddesses!!!

Crazybusy week coming up here starting today, it's spring break and I have tons of petsitting. So many that I doubt I'll get to run in the next week, but I'm thinking I shouldn't anyway, my leg is giving me trouble again. I just don't get it. No money for a Dr., so I just need to rest and see if that helps. I was off for two weeks though and once I started running, it started hurting again. Gah! No time this week to worry about it, I'm gonna make some money! WOOT! Oh and I did add up my miles so far this year and I've run just a little over 60 miles, which I know isn't a lot for some of you, but I'm pretty proud!!

Hope opening night goes great Nancy!!!

Erika, I know what you did! I know you sent that damn cold air this way and I'm cursing you! It better warm back up, I was enjoying spring!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

A Kelly sighting! So exciting! CAN'T WAIT to hear about the race! I haven't asked about your pace...what are you running at? (How many minutes does it take you to go one mile?)

ummm, hello? She's European. They don't run miles. They run kilometers

European. Reminds me of our directional challenges whilst at the Princess

OMG.

Today is a GOOD day.

I WORKED OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH FOR ME!!!

Yay Lisa! How do you feel? I've been thinking about you a whole lot lately! Hope all is well

Kat - nice job on the weight loss! Your chicken/stuffing report reminded me of some of the recipes you used to post. What the heck were those noodle things that the rest of the world loves but I can't find in my Podunk town? Sobe. or Soho. or something?

E - ugh on the knee

EE - nice job on the horrific mid-term!

Ronda - how's the vacation? Hope everyone is having a super fabulous time!

I'm catching up here. This morning is dedicated to finishing off the last of the costume fixes then cleaning my house. Holy cow is it a mess Oh - and I'm currently uploading some photos of dress rehearsal to photobucket. With a little luck they'll be up on FB later. (ok. perhaps a LOT of luck.)

 

[lisaviolet]

ummm, hello? She's European. They don't run miles. They run kilometers

No that would be kilometres you bloody "E - R s". . RE is so much more beautiful as is "our". We RULE!!!!!!!!

Actually I don't know WT H they do in England with running/driving - the way they think I mean. We are strange here. Many still think in miles/inches/feet/farenheit. It's very strange.

Okay, Lord help me. I'm in ANOTHER friggin' RE bidding war!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We lost one the day before surgery. Let another go hours before surgery and NOW we are in mulitple offers AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why can't I live in a place like Texas where they seem to give away houses (prices seem to be about a fourth of this city). Toronto is insane.

Erika - SO exciting about Kelly. I obviously suck at gymnastics - ZERO flexibility - but adored it. Poor me. I used to send myself flying over a vault in gym over and over and over and over. Never to do it right but I would never give up. My trunk legs would forever hit the horse and I would crash but I LOVED it.

Whoops this is about Kelly. Laughing. She must be BEYOND THRILLED!!!!!!!

Very excited and happy for all of you!!!

Nancy! You're there! Fantastic! Have fun.

to all.

Kat! Congratulations on the loss.

 

[lisaviolet]

Forgot Nancy - how do I feel?

One - I AM BEYOND THRILLED TO WORK OUT. I can feel "it" but I'm continuing. Off topic - I LOVED my legs this past six weeks (not great looking of course ) because my legs are SMALLER when I don't work out. So frustrating. I could immediately see my entire leg get larger......skdfjldsfjdlskfjladskfj.

Me in general - strange - lifting still is a strain as is sneezing at times. I don't feel as tired. Work - probably can go back now. However, I carry a suitcase for my work and even though it has wheels I do have to lift it in certain locations. In class I could get a student to do it but not at entry and onto subways and streetcars. So maybe it will be soon. BUT I've had to say "no" to calls and this is the slowest part of year so potentially totally screwed. See the surgeon next week - it will be ridiculous - he'll just look at the incision and say "good". The nephrologist will be seen at 3 months and 6 - that will have more meaning to me. I haven't rechecked my infection just to be sure - long story.

Thanks for asking....

 

[lisaviolet]

Kelly!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night Grey's was so emotional. The end was but it was something in the middle that sent me over more.

BUT I've been waiting and waiting to say this - my favourite line of the year - I'm pretty sure you're passed this episode. It was probably fourth or under...

Cristina as she is sitting on a guy's lap:

"oh crap my boyfriend's here"

Owen: I'm your HUSBAND Cristina.

Cut to Cristina giving her "whatever" face.

OMG.

 

[lisaviolet]

Kelly - your race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at you.

Will you get a medal for not falling?

 

[3DisneyKids]

Oh so happy to have Lisa back!

I hear you, Nancy, on cleaning the house. That is my plan today, too. OMG, it has gotten out of control. And I can't put it off because Kel has a meet tonight, so there goes another 4 hours. I do love watching her meets, truly. But gymnastics is frustrating that way. The meets last approximately 4 hours (3 hours of competition and then awards). But each individual kid competes for about 2 minutes of each hour. So it's a whole lotta sitting around and waiting. And sure, I watch and cheer for the other girls. But then you get caught up in looking at the scores and doing all of the mental work, "Ok, Jenny got a 9.1 vault, but Kelly got a 9.35, so that gives Kel a .25 margin of error in case she messes up on bars..." And it gets exhausting. So I've stopped watching all of the other girls go and just wait for the results at the end.

Karen--yay for work! Do you enjoy all of the pet-sitting?

Kelly--yes, you must time your runs for me. I need to know. July 17th is a great time for your first race. You will be more than ready!

Jo--sorry that you are in Spring Break hell.

Nancy--wish Becca luck for us all tonight! And the girl who got the lead. Tell her to try not to throw up.

 

[lisaviolet]

Erika - seriously need pictures of this *new house*. Seriously. Something tells me the wee one will have ZERO problem posing in them either.

Kelly - CAN NOT wait for your race. CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!!!! Are you doing the Princess next year? Look at you go!

7 pm they will be reviewing the multiple offers and no doubt sending back to up the money like all the other multiple greed monsters. Why oh why. Lord. SIGHING. LOULDLY.

We would have had it b/c we put in on day two but they set up a delay clause to get multiple.

 

[DisneyGalUK]

ummm, hello? She's European. They don't run miles. They run kilometers

I personally use miles, but guidebooks and the such use kilometres!

No that would be kilometres you bloody "E - R s". . RE is so much more beautiful as is "our". We RULE!!!!!!!!

Actually I don't know WT H they do in England with running/driving - the way they think I mean. We are strange here. Many still think in miles/inches/feet/farenheit. It's very strange.

Always RE!
Here its miles/feet/inches, but celcius not farenheit! It all gets very confusing! Like I said though, some guidebooks use kilometres!

Kelly!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG.

LOVED that episode! Classic Cristina! Ive just started watching Six Feet Under (its being repeated on a new tv channel that shows tons of series from the US - Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Big Love) and on an episode I watched Sandra Oh was in it - she played an......actress in 'adult' films! It was so funny to see her - blonde bobbed wig, mini-skirt, high heels!

Kelly - your race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at you.

Will you get a medal for not falling?

I SHOULD get a medal for not falling down - lets be honest, it will be a miracle if I stay upright for a full 5K. Plus ive been to the course before, its grass then at the end you go onto a proper running track. Grass to concrete is not going to be good

Kelly--yes, you must time your runs for me. I need to know. July 17th is a great time for your first race. You will be more than ready!

I will - next run for definite!

Nancy--wish Becca luck for us all tonight! And the girl who got the lead. Tell her to try not to throw up.

Yes, good luck Becca! Have fun Nancy!

Kelly - CAN NOT wait for your race. CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!!!! Are you doing the Princess next year? Look at you go!

I would LOVE to do the Princess next year - its just so expensive for me to get there! Darn international flight prices

Kat, Jo, Meg, Ronda, Rob, EE, Amy, everyone - Hi!

Hope everyone is having a great day

 

[lisaviolet]

I just lost a bloody quote and post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kelly SFU. Let me tell you how much I ADORED/ADORE it. I have maybe five DVDs. The entire Six Feet Under/Mad Men/Lost in Translation/Sex and the City/Good Will Hunting. I would have Rescue Me if I had moulah and Santa loved me more.

SFU. First, I ADORE Claire Fisher SO MUCH that I think of her, yes I'm crazy, as a friend I miss. It's that strange - I was that connected to her. I forget she's a TV character.

Two, I still laugh and quote it to this day. Just this week I was in tears laughing about Keith and David. The time David says to Keith that he blew the repairman. He says it - I'm in tears right now - like he just cut the grass. Keith is angry for two seconds and then asks how it was. Or wait or was it a hummer? Was it drunk pipsqueak?

Well I said entire - I REFUSED to buy the last season. I have the last episode because it was like GOLD and SO BEAUTIFUL (snagged it from a Blockbuster) but not the entire last b/c it was depressing and they destroyed Nate. But all others - have had them for years and last month Jean comes and tells me I'm so sorry Neville peed all over your SFU. I saved the DVDs though....

Memories.

Lord, I'm waiting on my condo. I feel a "no" out of this bidding war. Life goes on.

 

[lisaviolet]

Jean and I argue about celcius and farenheit Kelly. We get celcius but I still think and quote in farenheit. And it drives Jean nuts.

 

[lisaviolet]

Well I didn't get the place. My gut was bang on. Four offers. BUT of course they sent US ALL back to up our offers in price. A lovely set up bidding war. In both multiple offer sitations that we have lost we came in ABOVE price with our original offer. Unbelievable. It's a game - they both could have chosen the highest offer which both times was above price but no they send everyone back. And I guess why we've lost is that I'll play because the suite was still below market value - set up that way - but because of the agitation with their way I will only play so far.

So tiring. I long for the days that the first good offer in wins.

I'm SO TIRED. So incredibly tired. This is the third place that didn't go through....

Oh well - tomorrow is another day.
