Alright, I gotta know...exactly what makes Brad Pitt so attractive? I'm not trying be critical or make fun of anyone but I really don't get it. I've never ever thought that Brad Pitt was hot. In any of his hair incarnations!

Rina - They were shopping the same tie rack at Nordstrom's in Chicago. CB talks to everyone and just started talking to John.

I'm helping on a data entry project. Not even data entry. Comparing screen data to hard copy data. I must say I have a new found admiration for people who do this type of work every day. How they sit still, concentrate and keep their eyes from crossing every 2 seconds is beyond me.

i picked brad but i am in love with Val Kilmer, have been since Top Gun...yum! and can't leave out matt damon...yummy! ok...question on the water...i heard watermelon is chock full, is that true? ok back to brad...don't him and jennifer aniston make such a beautiful couple...makes me sick! ok back to work...

I have to confess...I don't get the Brad thing either. I just put him on because everyone else in the world, except Laura seems to think he's all that and a bag of chips. I just think he's scrawny and scruffy and looks like he might possibly have body odor. I don't know why he looks like he might stink, but he just does to me.

Morning girls --
I picked Brad Pitt because Colin Farrell wasn't up there! Come on who can resist that accent!

I attempted running last night, kind of a run/walk deal. I found out a couple days ago that my dad has taken up running, so I figured if he can do it, surely I can, being half his age, right?

Jayne - Great poll! I can't quite picture Ty - I haven't seen Trading Spaces in a while... I must be completely missing out! But I have watched While you Were Out and I'm with you Rina on the Andrew-thing!

Lexxy - thanks for the McDonald's craving! No, just kidding, I try and avoid that place as much as possible, although I did have culver's while on vacation... mmm butterburgers, they just SOUND unhealthy don't they....

Kierie, Laura, Emily - I love john cusack too - he was great in high fidelity

hi becky! all this water talk has me thinking that i need to start drinking more... and i did remember reading something about marathon runners or Marines drinking too much water while running for hours during training, which if I remember right, basically made their blood boil at about 107 or 108 degrees. Someone please correct me if I'm way off base!

Gotta go!

LOL Jayne, I can't believe you think Brad Pitt stinks! He's a pretty boy, I think that's why he tends to go scruffy, makes him look TOUGH.

I do not, however, get the whole Colin Farrell thing though....I mean, he's cute, don't get me wrong, but people are going nutso! Now if Hugh Jackman were up there, forget about it.

Angie, good job on the run/walk. I did a 10 mile race last year and that's how I trained for it. What the heck are butterburgers? I only ever have McDonalds as a hangover cure, or if I'm traveling. My biggest weakness is Chipotles, I guess because I don't see it as being as bad for me as McDonalds. The fact is the burritos I get have about 1000 calories, and I do eat the whole thing in one sitting. I think I'm going to get one on my b-day, can't wait!

OMG Jayne!!! I always thought that he looked like he needed a shower and a stick of deoderant. Even with short hair and no facial hair.

Lexxy - is Chipolte's anything like Qdoba?

I need more advice from all of you. My boyfriend's best-friend's girlfriend (got that???) is headed to grad school fulltime in a few weeks. She's gonna be so broke! I was thinking of putting together some kind of "Grad School Emergency Kit" as a going away gift but can't figure our what to stick in it. I've just been getting friendly with her this summer and don't know useful stuff like the brands of girly fu-fu stuff or cleaning products or whether she drinks coffee or tea. Any thoughts on what to include?

Laura

WHO PICKED SHRUB? It had to be a joke. Right? Please?

I picked Brad, but the hotties on my list these days are Colin Farrell, John Cusack and George Clooney.

I weigh in tonight. I think I lost a little, but not as much as the first two weeks. I guess that's normal ... a big first week loss and then it settles into a 1-2 lb loss. I just want it to come off more quickly! Last night I went to the gym, did 30 minutes of cardio and about 30 of weights, then I decided I HAD to have a slice of pizza. But I didn't get pepperoni, like usual. I got mushroom and pineapple. I know, weird combo, but yummy.

Well, speaking of food, I need some lunch. Think I'll go get a California roll.

Hi everyone!

ok briefly b/c i have to get out of this towel and into some workout clothes
Dubya I'm sorry the man looks flatulent!
colin Farrell MMMM i love irish men
Emergency Kit
hmm do youw ant to do food or cleaning stuff. . .cleaning stuff can get pricey
I'd say
get her a pair of flip flops (for the shower) A Huge coffee/tea cup use some subterfuge to find out what her bev of choice is
If its water a Brita would be a lifesaver or one of those waterbottles that filters on its own or a NAlgene bottle
popcorn pasta easy stuff that lasts a lonnnng time ;-D
OK I gotta find a bra STAT!

Wow! Busy again today. I barely have time to post before my meeting. I'll just type fast. I wanted to choose three - Ty and Brad and the one I actually chose, Sean Connery. I know he's old but he's still very sexy! The one I thought wasn't on the list that should be is Johnny Depp. He's sexy cause he's so good! I ate sushi last night (haven't been eating a lot of carbs so it was a bit weird on the system.) and watched Phone Booth (speaking of Colin Farell) It was a really good movie. I LOVE Keifer Sutherland's voice. It was good. Then I went to bed early. Also good. Tonight I have to prepare for a Margarita Party tomorrow (very fun - way off points) I've been saving up.
Rina - AR night! Who's your favourite now? I watched BB last night (kinda glad the girl went) but can't watch tomorrow night.
Jayne - I love the poll. Now I can spend my day thinking about sexy men.
Emily - everyone slips up - workouts help - no one's perfect all the time.
Lexxy - Hugh...very sexy. He was up here filming X2 last summer and lots of people met him and had no clue who he was. Even when he took his son trick or treating dressed as wolverine.
Laura - Meals in a can or meals in a box are awesome for emerg. kits. Kraft dinner, ravioli, stuff like that. But a pamper yourself kit with bubble bath and candles and a mud mask could also come in handy for her. I'm sure you'll figure out something great!
OK, gotta fly to this meeting - it's too busy to say hi to everyone! How crazy is that. Blanket hi to everyone I've missed. I'll check back this afternoon!

the thread is hopping again today!

Rina - my BF does the same thing about exercise and stuff...it is so annoying!

Lexxy and others - i LOVE colin farrell, too! he is adorable!

regarding the kit...i agree with Kierie...try going to a place like WalMart of Target where you can get a bunch of cute things for less. i'd say an assortment is the way to go!

ahh..just finished a long workout so i'm gonna jump in the shower!

Laura, I think Chipotles is like Qdoba....I've never been, but went to their website to estimate the nutritional info since Chipotles doesn't have any published.

I give up, what is AR?

We had to ask at Culver's what a butterburger was - apparently it's just a regular burger, but they call it that because they butter the bun before they grill it... so healthy!

And i still think brad pitt is hot - i'm kinda liking the scruffy look, or maybe it's his grin....

laura - maybe you could go with things along the lines of notebooks/pens & pencils? I made one of those for my sister for her high school graduation and put an alarm clock, hat, body spray, mints, and a book (ruminations on college life) in it - sort of along the theme of "how to not miss class even when you oversleep" ... just some thoughts...

Lexxy - Amazing Race.

KT - what is a Margarita party?

Thanks for the idea girls. I decided that I'm going to do a gift card boquet. Get a list of store she likes and then buy a bunch of $5 & $10 giftcards (other friend's are chipping in), attach them to "sticks" and put in a vase. That way she can get what she needs when she needs when $$ is tight.

Laura

oh my god...they butter the bun?!? i'm sorry but that sounds REALLY good to me! greasy food has always been my weakness!

Laura - AWESOME idea!!!

I agree - anything grilled with butter sounds decadent. It's corn on the cob time up here - butter away!!!
Laura - It's just like it sounds. A bunch of us are getting together to drink Margaritas and eat some mexican type foods.
Lexxy - Sorry, it's my evil reality TV obsession - AR and now Big Brother. I'm insane.
