HAPPY TUESDAY LADIES
Happy 'cause it's a short week!! Got home from work early, felt a little better today from my cold but Angie is still under the weather-- if you are looking to invest in anything in the near future THINK KLEENEX! she is going through boxes

well maybe not so funny to her
My son just called from work and gave me good news-- while he was in Hawaii we were notified that he may not have graduated-- seems he had plenty of credits and a 3.89 GPA-- However-- one of his classes (women's studies) didn't fit in a certain requirement catagory-- or so the person looking over his credits thought. Anyway he gets that info on Sat. night with his mail- plus I had a phone call from that advisor-- so he thinks he has to take 1 more class to complete a catagory-- within his major-- anyway the semester started today so he wasn't sure if he could get in a class-- he e-mailed his advisor and 2 teachers (of the classes that would fit, to request permission to crash-- and get in) his advisor e-mailed back to him that he was on sabbitical but he would contact the office of registration and discuss with them the problem-- then the 2 teachers e-mailed him back and told him he was such a good student that NO PROBLEM he could get in their class if needed-- anyway (am I rambling

) They just moved a couple of classes around so HE DID GRADUATE-- this little problem would have ended up costing him $1,000 in class fees, $150 in parking and lost time from work-- a real pain in the you know what for nothing.
SUNNYD Thanks for asking about Angie's time in the marathon-- guess I didn't explain very well-- she worked at it as a volunteer at the gear check-in booth-- her time was 5am until 1:30pm

Angie and I walked this particular marathon in 2001-- she really wants to do it again. We like to volunteer at these events when we don't participate in the run-- it is a lot of fun! Something YOU all can do--PLUS it helps to get you all excited about exercising!! I know some are limited on what they can do but at some of these events all we do is hand out water to the runners-- and we know how much that means because we sure appreciate it when we are running.
I did 31 minutes--410 calories--3.6 miles on my elliptical this afternoon-- but it was at the easy speed. I noted that I read if you do a half hour each day (and EAT THE SAME) of BRISK walking you won't gain weight (won't lose any either though at only a half hour) So I am really going to try hard to do at least a half hour every day.
I am with you on
MICHELE and her guys-- don't worry about her Donna, she is from California-- she's just a PLAYER
MICHELE You didn't see that did you dear

Great-- I think anyway on the Alpha-- If we could get 15 people to a bible study (other than our pastor's) we would feel so blessed! Just keep planting the seeds dear! The crop will grow-- maybe now-- maybe later-- not our problem! God just wants us to help with the message-- we sometimes get dissapointed on numbers and feal like we fail-- not true! we don't see the whole picture!!
You are right about the exercise!! YOU HAVE TO-- in order to feel better and lose to keep it off-- I know not everyone can exercise as much as they want (even in the cold) but ya have to start somewhere-- just look at the improvement in SPROUT in 2 years-- and she goes at a turtle pace! She will probably admit (no offense SPROUT on your pace- HUGS-) that if she continued eating the same as when she started walking that she probably would not have gained any weight-- maybe not lost too much but not gained any-- the benefit SHE FEELS BETTER!! even though the weight is still there-- and she continues to get faster and further-- so- in time- she will start losing a little more, then a little more, then a little faster, further, You get my point-- your smart!! Not sure what you can do in doors (if you can't find a mall, rec center to walk at indoors) but how about just starting with basic exercises and go from there when the weather changes. You WILL GET IT!
GARNET I hope the dentist went well. We have all lost posts I think, I used to lose them all the time because they were too long-- not sure why I don't anymore-- SunnyD is too smart on the computer for me- I can't figure out how to do what she does (OK-I don't try) anyway I used to just post shorter ones, post one then post another right after that one.
Well gotta get the nephew- Later, Gary
HI TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
