I slept well last night and I'm sooo looking forward to time alone today!! On my agenda: doctor, shopping for some cute workout gear and make-up, and a glorious nap before I go pick up the girls at school. Sheer heaven...
So what's up with you ladies for this sunshiney Wednesday?
this is the life! No hubby or kidlets underfoot...no responsibilities for at least two more hours. A girl could get used to this...and then she'd get lonely and bored and have to go looking for the hubby and kidlets.
Ellis -- I got your card today. It was lovely...makes me want a pair of red shoes now! Wouldn't DH enjoy that?
Chris -- How'd the gym go? I'm taking the little one to dance class today and will do my walking while she's in there. Haven't worked up the nerve to go back to the weight room yet, but I will soon!
No pink workout gear. I love pink, but something about my girth swathed in it makes me think . I found the cutest kinda army green/khaki color pants with a hoodie and got those instead. Doesn't sound very feminine, but it's really cute. Gosh, hope I'm not afraid to sweat in my new duds.
Doctor visit was fine. All of the parts I have left appear normal and in working order. I feel like such a dork for dreading it so badly, but that's just me and I know y'all love me anyway.
Well, I'm off to enjoy this blissful solitude! Sigh...wonder how often I can get by with taking one of these days?!?
Chris, I went to the Y! Did you have a good workout? I did NOT want to go, but I always feel so much better afterwards.
How's your mood, sweet girl? Thinking of you...
Christy, what a nice day you're having. I'm so glad. I was just thinking, "How nice for her to be alone... lucky girl." And I've been alone all afternoon. I guess half a day just isn't enough for me.
I'm so glad your appointment went well. I hate those things. I'm always terribly embarrassed to bare myself, so I don't have time to worry. I don't mind "down there". It's the breast examination. I hate sitting on the edge of the bed-thingy fully exposed. shudder.
Your work-out gear sounds cool!
Glad you got the card!
Where is everyone? Angi, Kat, Sarah, Jennelle... ?
Wouldn't it be fun if we had a ... what are they called. Those "beam me up" thingys. In Star Trek. We could all meet once a week and do yoga or something. Maybe have a cigar and a shot of whiskey afterwards. Exchange fat clothes. Do pedicures...
before I come crashing back to reality on this idyllic day. (Hey, where'd the li'l heart go?!)
ellis -- Glad you went to the Y! It's funny about exercise, isn't it? Weird how something I sometimes spend a great portion of my time trying to avoid can make me feel so gooood when I just get on with it.
Oh, and you're right. The breast exam is the worst! "Down there" you can't see what's going on because of the drape and all, but with the breast exam doctor is well within view. Chit-chatting while nekkid isn't one of my strongpoints.
Chris, Angi, Jennelle, Kat, & Sarah --
Okay, this life of leisure is over for now. Off to pick up the girls and wave relaxedly to coworkers who didn't have the day off. I'm so bad...
Christy, do your girls go to the same school you teach at?
My Mom was my teacher in grade two. And Dad was my home room teacher in grade 13.
Re: the breast exam. I have such a hard time not giggling. I once laughed in my doctor's face. Totally embarrassing, because you don't want them to think you're enjoying it. snort. It's so ridiculously invasive. I might not mind so much if I had a great bod and I could flaunt myself.
Well I will get to the gym, let's just say I was waysided by a personal workout this morning with DH and I have been sleeping like a baby since.
The breast exam is a goofy time for me too, but only because the in me comes out. I mean I can't resist saying things like "What do you think Doc, at least a 10 huh?" "Do you think I should get them bigger" The worst though was the finger in the butt thing I am giggling my a## off because he just scared the crap out of me and I am like ,"You should give a girl a little warning if it's going to get personal" My Dr. blushed and says,"This isn't funny" My DH said the look on my face was hysterical I figure its already an akward situation, its either laugh or cry
Otherwise Christy sounds like a lovely birthday. Your new workout suit sounds lovely, and remember we don't sweat we dantily perspire (Exceptm for when I go to the gym and I sweat buckets).
Ellis- on the workout girlie. And there is no friggin way you would beam me up GF too much philosophy involved. Okay well maybe once to have some Yoga and a long chat with all of you! I think of you often. Have you gotten my V-day card yet?
Much love to all Sarah, Kat, Angi, Jenelle
Miss Chris
Ellis -- Yes, I teach at the same school my girls attend. It's quite large and there's no way in h--- I could ever be their teacher! Did you drive your mom nuts? I can imagine what my girls would do to me in that situation. At my old very small school, there were several teachers who had taught their own children though. I never heard of grade 13...must be a Canadian thing.
Chris -- Gee, your workout sounds a bit better than mine! I walked a fast mile and played basketball with my oldest daughter. Who, by the way, got very attitude-y because I beat her butt, too. Maybe I'll play a little one on one later on...for my birthday, ya know.
Daintily perspire...that's a good one! Not true, but it's a delicate thought, huh?
Whew. What a day. We're doing group project posters in both class, and group work always wears me out. God bless 'em, no matter how many times you talk about inside voices and two-inch voices, they just don't seem to get it. The noise gets louder and louder and louder...plus they seem to all need me RIGHT NOW all at the same damn time. Then there was tutoring...I was just dead-beat by the time it rolled around. THEN one of the other teachers was talking about all this stuff she heard our new governor was going to do (I didn't vote for him)...things like renege on our 8% pay raise next year and take away funding for all the teacher's assistants and cut teacher positions and increase class size to at least 30 kids at the elementary level. I don't think the rumors are accurate...most TAs are paid with federal Title I money...30 kids per class is against federal class size reduction guidelines...but still, it's frustrating to hear that your own governor - who made such a big fing deal about supporting teachers during the campaign - may not give a flying f*** on a rolling donut after all.
I called my sponsor on the way home...God bless her. Her assignment for me tonight is RELAX! I also emailed the governor when I got home. Don't worry - it was respectful and polite. I just asked him if he could clear up some rumors that I'd been hearing.
Hello to everyone. Now I'm going to be antisocial and go off and drink my tea and read some of my book (Louise Erdrich's The Beet Queen.
Ugh - Auntie Flo is back and all crampy. I took some medicine but I am still feeling ill. But at least my bloated tummy will go away now.
Casablanca is such a fantastic movie! We had a wonderful dinner, too. Sadly, though, on my way out of the house my mom called to tell me my surrogate grandmother passed away yesterday. She has had dementia for years and had recently started refusing food, so it was inevitable. But still really sad. DH never got to know the real her, which is also sad. I grew up with her and her husband (he passed on when I was 15) - lots of sleep overs, she knitted for me, taught me how to sew, sewed me some stuffed animals, etc...
She was a great lady and will be very much missed.
Happy birthday, Christy!!!!! What a relaxing day (minus the private pokes) you had.
Angi - congrats on getting a sponsor!!!!
Jennelle: I hope those governor rumors are false!
All this gyno talk is funny. I was 16 for my first pap and boy the bum thing surprised the heck out of me - even with my mother's warning before the appointment.
Poor DH hurt his back today and was told to rest for a day. He's at work getting tomorrow's work done, so he can stay home. Poor guy.
We're going to a friends', as usual, for our Wednesday show. Hope everyone has a great night!

HB Christy and HI EVERYONE!
