Star: An early night to bed, huh? I know you'll be back in true form this weekend. Have fun at the BBQ!

Morning again! My you girls are a busy bunch!!!

Brenda - I think you would enjoy running or biking if you got into a beginner training program. You sound like you have a lot of energy to burn Check out the beginner programs on www.coolrunning.com or www.beginnertriathlete.com I've look at both of them and they seem really simple and the sites are loaded with good info!

Leenie - Congrats on the 2 days in a row. That is definitely inspirational!!! I've been so bad lately. I get all set to start training...train one day and take 4 off...not good!!! Maybe we need a challenge to see how many days in a row we can move...what would be the prize???

Shimma - Ouch on the sunburn!! I'm fairskinned also, and if I stayed in the sun for 2+ hours without sunscreen I'd be in the hospital!!! That sounds fun about the biking. Although I must say that 75 miles sounds a bit intimidating to me at the moment! I have to do 18 in the race in August. How far from the Ohio ST line are you. I'm 45 minutes from Fort Wayne IN. We also have friend in Chicago and Go there on occaision (sp?). Also, I'd love to get a copy of that training schedule and take a look at it!

MrsH - while my training may make you tired...Your work shedule kills me...how do you do it? You do take time for yourself, don't you? I think that is probably the one thing that we can all say got us here. we didn't take time for ourselves!

Jane - I think that it is a good idea for you to be a shoulder to lean on for your niece. I try to do it with mine as well. She has had a horrible life with her parents being complete idiots (my sister included) and I've tried to be there for her. She isn't depressed or if she is doesn't know it...she's only 12. But I can see it in her future! I'm praying she doesn't have to deal with it though!

Star - I have been checking out the gel seats. But I'm borrowing friends bike for the race. (I think I'm getting it this weekend) So, I want to find out how hers is outfitted before I go and buy one! thanks for the link to Quiznos...I tried to talk the office into it today, but not enough to buy. Oh, my I looked at the menu and the look wonderful. Where do you find flatbread? Is there someplace I'm missing it at the grocery store??

I made this killer cauliflower casserole...I think one of you posted it!! oh, my it was delic! just cauliflower, onions, mozz and pam cheese and sourcream.....Yum!!! Hubby and children even ate it!!!

OH MY GOD Jdogg....you just made me feel old! I remember Eddie Money. And yes he was popular in the 80's! WHEN I WAS IN MY 20's

Oh somebody shoot me now......oh wait....never mind....some of you know how to use a gun!

Good day everyone!

Lori - good luck with your triathalon training!

Brenda - your DH - toast - so funny! My dad would never be able to survive on Atkins, his love of bread knows no boundaries. I swear, he'd feel like a king if we only fed him bread and butter...

Leenie - two days in a row! Woo!

Shimma - smarting off to the TV? Ha! Did it fight back?

MrsH - what is this crazy place for which you work?! So many hours!

Jane - sorry you're feeling grumpy today, and that's too bad about your neice. It's good that you're there for her.

Hi there, Theo!

Star - have fun at the bbq. Ah, 80's...it must be minus fifty thousand degrees in my office right now. Why oh why did I wear short sleaves??

Jina - Okay - I'm working on my thesis, now. (But I just got all this tourist information from Scotland yesterday in the mail, even a CD with videos...how can I resist the temptation??) Food booths definitely = dangerous! And don't worry, I have no idea who Eddie Money is either!


I'm over working at the space agency again today, and that's why I'm freezing. Climate control problems here, for sure. But at least it's sunny and beautiful outside. Although yesterday it was pretty nice all day, though we had a weird bout of hail between 5 and 6 pm, which I nearly got caught in!

We have the most aggravating landlady in my apartment building. My housemate and I have a couple of issues that we need to deal with, with her. So the landlady was supposed to come by at 2:30 in the afternoon yesterday (when my housemate is done work). But, the landlady comes by at 9:30am (when only I am at home) and insists that the appointment was for 9:30am. She's such a liar because there is no way that my housemate would have made the appointment for the morning because she works *every* morning, *every* day of the year. She comes walking in, all wearing her designer clothes (of course, I was up late and starting late yesterday, so I'm in the grungiest of all outfits) and being all snooty like it wasn't at all possible that she made a mistake with the appointments. She never answers her phone either, or responds to letters. You honestly have to use registered mail to send her requests so that you have proof that you've spoken to her about your issues if it comes to the time that you might have to go to the rental board! It's ridiculous.

And Harry Potter! Woo! I'm a big Harry Potter fan. I told a friend that I'd go with him next week, after all the hype died down. But I dont' think I can wait. I think I'll sneak in and see it on my own and just not tell him. I did the same thing for the last Star Trek movie, too. I'm such a liar to all my friends!!

I can't wait to go to the movie. Only 1/2 hour more to go. And I was SO determined throughout the day that I WAS going to stay away from the popcorn. But then realised my DD's would be sitting next to me munching away and I just KNOW my hand'll be in that bucket. So just to make sure it's a little more friendly for me I'll make sure it doesn't have butter I'm trying to stay out of the sun until my skin has a chance to re-learn what it's like. I'm white and I truly only have 2 colors. White and red. We did some of our grocery shopping and got off cheap. I love Aldi's!!! They're great for getting cheap food for the girls (that the girls actually like). And with summer here our grocery bill'll be more expensive.

Well, work has calmed down a bit this afternoon.....phew!

Feeling more grounded now after my melt down this morning.

So, dh calls and tells me that we are going out to dinner with another couple tonight. These are the sweetest people and I really enjoy seeing them. Hope we go somewhere where I can be good. Having had the kind of week I have had I could be lead astray in the "good" department.

Brenda: How about bringing some snacks for you like the pork rinds Leenie mentioned. They are crunchy and that way you might stay away from the popcorn. Just bring a bunch in a zip lock bag.

Lekker: I meant to tell you yesterday when you mentioned Ireland....one of my neices is over there going to school this past semester. She is coming home this weekend as a matter of fact. She was at Cork University. I have kept in touch with her by email and instant message so that is fun. She spent her spring break traveling to Paris, Italy and Spain! Geez.....pays to be young I guess....and have your parents paying for everything

Lori: I still can't bring myself to like cauliflower *bleck* But broccoli has been a big hit with me. Maybe I could substitute.
Isn't it awful to see someone in trouble and not be able to do anything for them. My mother was going to run over to their house to see her and I said "what do you think you are going to do?" She said "just be there"....I couldn't help it but the child in me said to myself "where were you when I needed you?"

Jina: you always have fun things planned. Have a great time snacking your way through the event. And enjoy Eddie Money

Star, Star, Star: what will we do with you? What the heck kind of vitamins do you take to have the energy you do? I want those! Question.....is tecquila ok if I use a sugar free mix? I love margaritas!

Thinking of one right about now

Tequila's always ok in my book - but I tend to just take it in straight shots. But yes, it's really fine. 0 Carbs. For a pretty good margarita, try tequila, Baja Bob's Desert Lime Margarita Mix, and Diet Sprite to even it out. The mix is only 1 or 2 carbs per 4 ounces, I think. Very yummy!

Speaking of yummy.....DH brought me a Chicken Carbonara flatbread sandwich from Quiznos. Drool.............. I'm so very happy now!

Thanks Star

Isn't the Baja Bob's stuff sugar free? It still has carbs though.
