The NM's have returned from a restful weekend in Hilton Head - very restful because there is nothing really to do there. But swim. And eat. And rest. Nice. I'll post a few pics and a little summary later - maybe.
Whew!! Lots going on here this weekend! YAY!!!!! Mel's TR is back!!! I can't wait to hop over there and read it.
Mel, thanks for returning despite all the crap. You are a GREAT writer and it's good to see you'll be entertaining us for a long while.
ZZUB - Well, this all just makes me sad. If you aren't over here any more, you may never see this. But it's my only chance, so here it goes. I really will miss your wit, ZZUB. I loved seeing that little red wallet because I always knew something worth reading was behind it. I kind of feel like you are the one who started this experience for me - sending folks over to my TR when I started writing it. Which led me to see where the folks you sent were hanging out. It's been fun and I'm sorry you have to look upon this experience with any regret - feeling like someone took things a little too far. These kinds of relationships are a little weird. My "real" friends know my name - the names of my kids, where I live, what my husband does for a living, what I look like, etc. And yet it's dangerous for me to reveal these things to you all - who I feel are my friends also. I think that is what most of us feel - the pull between getting to know one another better and protecting ourselves. But because we can hide behind these cyber identities, and because folks we don't even know are there can also have all of these things revealed to them, we have to assume everyone here is not our friend. It's a sad reality.
Anyway
ZZUB, thanks for the laughs. And the encouragement. And the fun. I hope you won't be a complete stranger. And I hope when the NM's return to the World and I post another TR, I'll see that little red wallet encouraging me and responding to my posts. Because it just won't be the same without you.
Moving on.
KPK, the sandal pledge is AWESOME!!!! As a resident of Georgia, we wear open toe shoes from March to October. And yes, those rules must apply. Nothing worse than a nasty set of toes. Have some pride, people.
Also,
KPK - here are some of my favorite Ipod workout hits. The list is not all-inclusive.
Contemporary Christian tunes:
Newsboys - Shine, He Reigns
Toby Mac - Atmosphere, Gone, Burn for You
Mary, Mary - Shackles
Strange mix, I know, but I like most all kinds of music.
Other tunes:
Destiny's Child - Independent Woman Pt. 1
Black Eyed Peas - Let's Get It Started
Rascal Flatts - Life Is a Highway
Nelle and Tim McGraw - Over and Over
Skynard - Sweet Home Alabama
The Gap Band - Burn Rubber
Again, I know these are strange, but they make me run fast. Go figure.
2IAB - I just did major splinter removal, too. But got it all and no more problems. It wasn't a fun time for me or my daughter.
Grammy - You make me laugh.
Sher - Just sayin' hi - you post too often for me not to personally shout out...
Hello everyone else. Hope you have a great day!!!
