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

[DisneyGalUK]

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.

I love Claire! She reminds me of me during one year of my teenage years - all angsty and angry (minus the whole 'stealing a corpses foot' thing)

So - I am officially entered into the Race For Life! Entry fee has been paid! I was going to do it next week but I thought 'No time like the present' and did it, and in a few weeks my race pack will arrive - no going back now

Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday

Kelly - Love SFU. Good on you for the race!

E - how'd the knee thing go?

Lisa - welcome back to the internet!

Kat - WTG on the loss. Awesome. Hope you had a dry run today.

Nancy - how was opening night?

YES, we had a super fabulous time. I think we ticked off all but two items on the must do list. One was American Idol experience at DHS. First show isn't until 12:00. That was during our FP for TSM. We hit the parks at opening and left after 4 or 5 hours. Waits in the morning were very manageable with strategic FP use. We came back in the afternoons to catch some stage shows and parades.

We had four full days and used each morning for a different park. Friday the MK opened at 8:00 and it was as if no one knew. We were the ONLY people on the ferry at 7:30! My nephew got to look inside the pilot house and talk to the ferry pilot before we shoved off. My brother likes MK the best and we made the most of that last morning. Astro Orbiter (kids LOVED this one, Aunt Ronda could take or leave it), Buzz, IASW, Dumbo, BTMRR twice. And that was the first hour. We returned to Main Street and shopped. As we were leaving - it's not easy to swim upstream, no ferry service and no express monorail - people were streaming in. It was going to be a busy day. Off to the airport. I hung out at their gate for a while and then we parted.

It was wonderful to spend more than a few hours with him and the kids. They live several hours away, so our time together is usually for family events. I think we're going to do this again next year!

Bonnet Creek Resort was great. Good location near CBR. Having the 2 bedrooms and kitchen made for a very relaxing time.

I got my runs in on Tuesday and Thursday. Today was 10 miles as the taper begins.

I love this Ronda!

Ronda, glad you had a great time!! I am amazed that you get runs in on vacation. I am terrible at that!

Yup, dry day after all. It's sprinkled a bit this afternoon but we were good for the whole run.

Kelly, WOOO on the race!!

Lisa, boo on the the house/condo hunt. Sucks that you have bidding wars up there.

Paula, hope the Odyssey weekend is going well!

Nancy, show details? I am sure your costumes are stunning... waiting to hear if the lead had a breakdown after all!


I set out to do 8 miles today, and at mile 4 had the bright idea to go to 5 before turning around, and then we continued on the extra .25 to get to a water fountain, so my total was 10.5. I was with a subset of my running group, about 10 of us. 5 are in a pace group behind, 3 are mine, and 2 are fasties (10:30 group).

The two fasties stuck with us, and wooo was the pace pushed for me!! The first 9 miles were 1:1 intervals at about a 14:20 or so which is FAST for me right now. I walked in the last 1.5 as a cooldown with one of the women who has a full next weekend.

It's also *hilly* gravel/trail course. My legs are feeling it right now!!

After the run was lunch with the group, and grocery shopping at both Sam's and the-store-that-shall-not-be-named. We met at 9:30 and I just got home at 5. Time for some couch time!


Hope everyone is having a good weekend!!

Ronda

Um, is he famous? Really? Like not just in my area famous? I'm not being dumb, I really thought only people who lived in my county and ran knew of him! They do a 5k in my town in his honor and it's the biggest, must do race of the season for all the runners here. I have never done it, because it's a REAL runner race. Kwim?


Ronda - sounds like a fab trip!!!!


Ladies, I have to declare thread bankruptcy. Anything major I need a tutorial on?

 

[AKASnowWhite]

GOOD MORNING GODDESSES!

I'm back. Off to the gym for the first time in over a week and a half Lots of catching up to do.

 

[Ronda93]

Um, is he famous? Really?

I've heard the phrase and googled it for attribution. I think I lifted this from about.com. Yup, famous!

6 more babies yesterday while I was at drama.

Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango & Uniform.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Of course there were 6 babies born while you were away from the house. OF COURSE. OMG, are the alphabet names still working for gender? Poor Uniform!

Hi everyone--will comment to all when I can. Busy, busy for another couple of weeks. Then a two week slow down. Then all Hell breaks loose when May gets here.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Wait! Did you hear that noise? The really loud one? Sounded kind of like a baby elephant sitting on your car?

Yes?

No worries. Just me getting back on the wagon.

Very cool! I thought he was just local famous - you know people that you make a big deal of at home, but no one knows anywhere else?

I should so do that race.

Thanks, Kat!

We should so post our skinny pic together, and paste it on our fridges!!!

Okay, I'm off to bed. Can't eat anymore food tonight, so I have to sleep. Ugh.

Tomorrow, I darken the door of the gym! (To workout, not just sit in the hot tub!)

 

[3DisneyKids]

Trying to catch up here, really...

And Lisa! Do I have some pics to show you! You are gonna flip. out.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Crickets!!!

Hello out there? Anyone?

So day two of tracking. My word, I hate this. Sinus infection moving in and it must get lost. Now. Vitamin D and C to be ingested pronto.

My goal is to track until Memorial Day.

Track. Not lose X amount, or eat perfectly, or even stay on points all the time. Just track. I needed a small goal.

How is everyone else's Tuesday?

 

[HockeyKat]

Hi!

Yay for tracking! I am doing the same. My goal is to track and stay on my running training plan until the May 15th half. I might not wind up perfect but at least I will know why.

Sick as a dog today... bad tummy, achy, fevery, sore throat. Hopefully it passes soon.

[SeptemberGirl]

Hi Alexa!

Kat, feel better soon. I am crossing my fingers for a illness related weight loss for you. Channeling Cutie here!

Jo, good for you for exercising!

I can't wait to make it to next Monday. Just one week of tracking is good. I should stop whining. At least I have legs!
