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

[SeptemberGirl]

Meg, great on the interview!


OMG Nancy, did you take a cookie from my child??? Serves her right for TALKING so much to me this past week! Remember when Emily was our little mascot...E giving her piggyback rides...Her devotion to Kat...When Emily met our doppelgangers and was so excited by that.

Pretzel dogs on the Cinderella menu! My mom sassing E, and Mr. 36 pts saying, "Of course you are".

Yes, Nancy singing everywhere!

And OMG...when Nancy totally OUTED the girl from Corral E who was trying to get into Corral C?!?!

And of course, Nancy and I "dropped down" from our prestigious Corral A to be with our friends! How many times did we have to utter the phrase, "We're dropping down..."

OMG yes. She made me so angry. Trying to sneak into corral C and holding up the line because she wouldn't show the security guy her bib. I fixed her though

I almost didn't get the chance to drop down. Gads. Remember my panic at the expo?

Ugh I'm exhausted but feeling positive about the interview.

I hope it all works out for you. You current workplace sounds seriously unpleasant!

So until the 25th, here's hoping I can stay relatively out of pain...and away from googling myself stupid over anything related to Crohn's disease.

Step away from the google. You don't even know that's what it is, so there's no sense making yourself crazy over it.

Oh, my step mom lives in FL and she wants to come up on Sunday to see me, I am trying to find a very very nice way to stop her from coming.

Oh jeepers Jo! Does she realize that your race starts at 6:00am? Maybe if you tell her that you'll be done and headed for post-race food/shower/nap by 9:00 she'll decide it's not worth it?

I did. At the Columbia Harbor House.

Yes! I got a free cookie at CHH since I had to wait so long. So I figured I would give it to Emily....but nooooo....in swooped Nancy!

OMG, Nick! And it wasn't just the "Of COURSE you are..." comment...it was the fact that he said after he gave me the total once over look! Hi lar ious!

OMG yes. She made me so angry. Trying to sneak into corral C and holding up the line because she wouldn't show the security guy her bib. I fixed her though

I almost didn't get the chance to drop down. Gads. Remember my panic at the expo?

You SO totally fixed her! And the Expo! Was that the first time we teamed up to get our way?!? I think that is where it all began...


I hope it all works out for you. You current workplace sounds seriously unpleasant!

Seriously. Life is short. Don't work for a$$holes.

Yeah, we learned that last year. Family members totally cramped our style...

Seriously. Your food is not safe near me.


and beer in the water bottles at the hot tub

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Ok question, why beer in water bottles. Don't they have a pool bar?

 

[AKASnowWhite]

We were at the hot tub - no glass containers allowed. And I'm pretty sure the sign indicated no alcohol, but I could be wrong on that one.

Good morning everyone!!!!

I had to reschedule my procedure for the 8th-too much going on this month with school starting.

BUT. Until then. I've made a few promises to myself.

1. No more googling. It only stresses me out needlessly.
2. No more listening to what people say. It seems when you have a medical ailment, EVERYONE and their brother has it, or knows someone that has it, and all have different opinions on it. I trust my doctor, I know what he's doing, I'm going to listen to him.
3. Keep on my healthy food. While it won't change what I have, weight loss couldn't hurt. I've lost quite a bit in the last two months, and I want to keep it up.
4. Stick with quitting smoking. Sorry I haven't updated this in a while. But I've been doing pretty well. Nights like NYE were hard, when it's everywhere, but I've gotten to where most days I don't want one, and even fewer days do I have one. I need to not give up and avoid those hard situations. Work breaks are getting easier, need to focus on time with friends now.
5. Be positive!!! I know I've been pretty negative lately about everything going on. It's hard to not be when I feel awful and am scared about what's happening. But being negative about it isn't going to get me anywhere. If you guys see me being negative, please give me a little nudge, ok?

Most of these are things I need to carry even past once I found out what's going on. But until then, I really need to be able to keep myself upbeat, and I think this is going to help. So I'm going to come on here every day and track how I'm doing on each of them---and if I don't, please call me out and hold me accountable.

I hope everyone's having a fabulous day!!!!!

Going to the orthopedic today...I so don't want to go!

Ok question, why beer in water bottles. Don't they have a pool bar?

Plus, we had a FAB villa that opened right onto the pool deck, basically. We were on the first floor at BWV and just steps from the pool. Best location EVER. So it was so nice to just hop to the villa (we had a 2-BR so we had a full kitchen) and just grab a drink. And of course we saved tons of $$$.

We should probably tell Jo that it isn't like we just have ONE or even TWO drinks. OMG, can you imagine our bar tab if we were actually buying all of our drinks at a Disney bar?!?!


Which reminds me...calling DVC now...oy!

and who was it again who dropped the beer bottle at Jellyrolls?



Hat shopping on line here. Looking to spend drama club money. yeah it's that time again. This is the B-I-G one. insane.

Kat - that's an awesome deal for the FR60 *and* the footpod. Great that the pod will work with other Garmin products. I really like my Polar RS200, but cannot recommend their current products. Compared to Garmin their technology is pitiful. The newer watches cannot connect to to the outside world without ANOTHER $40 gizmo to sit on. So, some questions that I could answer if I Googled hard enough... what kind of battery does the footpod use? What kind of battery does the watch use? I'll bet the watch is a "normal" watch battery. Having all my workouts on one device makes me happy, too. Give us the rundown when you start using it.

The watch and the heart rate monitor use a regular watch battery, $1 on ebay, and you can replace it yourself.

I got it last night, absolutely new in box - still had the virtually indestructible blister pack plastic and required scissors to get it out. HRM, footpod, and watch plus manuals in about 6 languages. For $102 and 2-day shipping? I am thrilled. Yay for ebay!

The footpod is very wee, but the watch is a little bigger than I expected. I need to learn how to use it, and didn't have time last night. I will post an update once I get through a workout or two.

OMG. at all of the remember whens. Kat and I were so lucky that EE didn't kill us. And yes, the beer before breakfast. I SWEAR it is an awesome recovery drink. :

6.83 miles (I am counting this as my 7 miler) in 70:32.

Exactly

Ronda--Forgot to mention that your marathon plans sound good. I really hope to Goofy in 2012 . If I'm going to do a full, I may as well get three medals for it because I may never do one again!

Exactly

Pretty much! Kat can tell you about my drinking abilities.

But seriously...no one can outdrink Amy and Kat when it comes to just beer.

Tequila? I'm your girl. Mixed drinks? I'm in. Shots? Hells yeah, bring 'em. And beer and wine, too. But I can't physically consume the amount of beer Amy and Kat can. OMG.

Patron Silver Please, with a Lime!!!

I can't wait for this race!!

I have a bad mom story..

So we just got home from school and the store. I put a pot on to boil water to make rice, the girls and I ran upstairs to change, I asked Alexa (6) to check my pot but to be careful, I be right now after I change Alaina. Alexa has helped me in the kitchen many many many times. (its been maybe 3 mins) OMG, she start to scream, I run down stairs, she has a kitchen towel on fire on the hardwood floor dumping water on it, while the wood spoon is now on the burn on the stove on fire. Nothing other than the towel and spoon were injured. She was so upset. She got out a kitchen towel to hold the handle of the pot in case it was hot. The kitchen towel she grabbed was a cloth burp towel I think that is why it did not burn that fast. I told her I was so very sorry and next time mommy will not ask her to check the kitchen when I am not there. I thank GOD for watching over her and my house..

Off to read books.. Do the make one about a mom that tries to do to much at once.
