Yay! We survived Monday. (Of course it is only 6:21 p.m. here but I'm counting Monday GGGGOOONNNneeee). The rollercoaster week is off to a good start with 7 sick employees this morning (monday morning and all). I have decided to recategorize absenteeism. I am now going to (internally of course) review absenteeism in two ways. Innocent abesenteeism (wherein one is absent due to circumstances beyond their control...including the occasional mental health sick day) and Culpable Absenteeism (wherein one is working the system for stupid reasons that end up impacting their annual bonus and compensation review...what I will unofficially call, "Screwing yourself in the end" dummy absenteeism.
Enough of that.
All: Woe to the person who told me about vodka and crystal light (even though it contains the nemisis aspartame). I'm having one now and don't want to get on the exercise bike.
Bouncing: Glad to meet ya!
Crabby: Great job with the waffles. I might have been caught licking stray plates for the maple syrup. MY DD is 9 but it will be a long time until she sees a waffle or pancake around here I can tell ya. I'm not strong enough.
Lilly: You are my guru of balance. I want to be you. And you are certainly not old. Remember? I called you a stone cold fox. Oh, wait, I just called you foxy but you know what I mean.
BB: Be careful shoveling snow and such. Dangerous work. Sitting in the living room looking at the snow with a vodka and crystal light is better...er, I mean more fun.
Lynn: You dancin' fool. I don't ballroom but I studied ballet from the time I was 4 until 22. Then I got in a skiing accident and could no longer do the dance thing. I think all those years of not being able to eat did something to me. I remember having to stop dancing after being used to it 4-5 hours a day when I was about 23 and then having to cut my eating down to 200 calories to try to keep from gaining weight. Of course, I don't know why I was trying to stay skinny. It is not like anymore emaciated gay men were hefting me into the air anymore. Nonetheless...old habits die hard.
Robin: Way to go on the recharge. We ALL need that sometimes. Good for you.
Amy: Shows? What kind of shows? I want to know all your groovy performer gal you.
WS: Welcome. Glad you are delurking.
Someone, I can't remember who right now because I'm on the advance screen and can't back up to look, checked into Jimmy Moore's webcast stuff. Isn't it a hoot. I dig him because he is exactly right. Basically do whatever diet you are working on by the book and then start playing with it only when you are sure it is working for you and don't kid yourself or waste time whining if you delay results by "arsing around" (kudos to Fay for that statement. I used it three times at work today). MY DH loves him because he hates what he calls "Diet ****s". Jimmy is the master of the gentle yet truthful approach.
Hope this post finds all to be well.
