In Search of My Body vol.9 - I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends

[cantwaitvaca09]

E,
thanks for all your help but DH called and told me to stop that he did not want to go to FL. He would rather go to MN to the mall of america for a quick get away (just 1 hour flight for us)

I will never tell him that he is right, we were not planning on a big trip and we don't have the $$ for a big trip. He also said if we went to FL now then there will be no $$ at all for FL in March for me.

So Mall of America here we come

Thank you again E for your help

Hey, a get-away is a get-away, right? Seriously, we have gone some BIZARRE places just to have a quick change of scenery.

I forgot that Nancy owns at the Vistana. Good taste you have there, Chica.

I am *just* about done packing. We leave tomorrow morning at 9am for 8 days at the lake. Then home for a week, then gone the week after that. Here we go, full on summer mode!

My goal for today was to be packed by lunch so that we can hit the beach right after lunch. The waves are PERFECT today, so we are going to surf for a couple of hours (Cammie is already there! She left earlier this morning with a friend so that they could get the best waves--totally a surfer girl, that one) and then swing by the pool club to rinse off the sand. Love the beach, hate the mess.

Ok, time to finish up the last minute stuff.

Sigh. E, you know you kill me, right? As I sit here at my desk, staring at the computer *again* and you are off to the beach, and lake house, and boats, and pool club, and fun....

I should have gone into academia!

Have a great time E.
Have a drink for me!

Hi everyone!

Jo - do what feels best for you and your family and you can't go wrong.

Kat - sounds good to me! I'll be thinking of you around 9:00 when I am wondering what the heck I am doing.

Nancy - so far my butt is doing alright. I only have one pair of shorts so I am looking to expand my collection so that I am not chained to the washing machine.

Finally done (including my workout) for the day so let the holiday weekend begin. Off to see some fireworks tonight and then to camp after my ride tomorrow so you may not hear much from me over the next few days. Have fun and be safe everyone!

It is SO true, Kat. My "full time" job schedule can't be beat. The only time it gets to me is when on vacation at Disney and I have to bring my laptop and HAVE to work each night. But when I have summers like this, it is hard to complain, I admit.

Have a great time E.
Have a drink for me!

Um really....just one?!?!?

WOW, super quiet night here. I hope that means everyone is gearing up for an awesome weekend! I am packed and ready to go--and it is before midnight! Bonus! Actually, I have been ready for hours. Just getting ahead with work so I don't have to do too too much while away.

I'll be checking in, I'm sure. Have a great week-end!

 

[goofyfan-12]

Really quiet here. Eating breakfast and then off to my bike ride. Looks beautiful out there.

Make the day a good one!

 

[3DisneyKids]

We're off! I'll check in from the lake! Have an awesome day and week-end!

Ha! I was long asleep. I watched tv from bed, starting about 8:15-8:30, and was asleep by 9:45-10. Getting up at 5:30 requires early bedtimes... you know me and sleep! That at least hasn't changed.

Run today was *great*. 10 miles, 2:25. Temps were in the low 60s when we started. It was a hilly course but nothing as brutal as last week.

Btw, I was not the only one that thought last week was brutal. I would say a good number of those that I talked to about it felt exactly the same way. It must have been the heat/humidity.

Next week is rails to trails (American Tobacco Trail), and 12 miles for me. Whee!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend, and Paula hope your ride went great!!

 

[goofyfan-12]

Kat - great job on the run!

Today's ride went really well. 35 miles in total. Climbed a few serious hills and actually enjoyed this one stretch of hills that just kind of rolled along. All in all, it was 1000 times better than last week's ride.

Off to get some lunch in me and then rest these tired legs of mine.

Enjoy the weekend everyone!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

drinking. a lot.

many things have gone fabulously well this weekend, and several have gone quite wrong Currently my washing machine has had some technological melt down, as has my printer. bah freakin' humbug Becca leaves for camp tomorrow, Seth is on vacation with his "in-laws" so that leaves me with one child. ONE! and he's the EASY one at that

 

[HockeyKat]

Nancy, meeee tooo. Decided to take tonight as a splurge night. One every two weeks, not so bad, right? *Raises glass in your general direction*

Sorry about the technologicial meltdowns.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

yeah. Me and technology. We don't always see eye to eye

I also have some kind of oddity happening with my phone. It keeps making this totally random beeping noise. If I hadn't had it with me all day I'd swear my kids changed a setting just to drive me crazy!

So,several generous glasses of Gnarly Head later, I finally made dinner and now am feeling just fine.

<flips the bird to the whole situation>

Sorry Nancy, the 'flips the bird' really made me laugh out loud!

Last night was my SIL to be's 2nd Hen Night (the one who is marrying my brother, not the one who is married but having a baby with my BIL! )
We went to a chinese restaurant then for a few drinks after - great night but I feel so bloated from the food this morning. Lots of water for me today!

Today I am going to a huge open air market that has a farmers market - I WILL stay away from the home-made pies and cakes!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Good Morning Kelly.

Enjoy the maket! Hey when is that baby due for your BIL and does her husband know yet?
