Ok, if I get the opportunity to visit Shad, I'm buying a REALLY good support bra and an extra small T-shirt with "DON'T FEED THE DINGOES" blazoned across it. Think that will get people's attention?
And Carla - you had me laughing so hard I leaned over and bonked my head on the back of the chair. "Thuffferin' thuck-o-tash was bad enough - but OMG blackened THORDfith!
oops
Sorry - apparently that nitrous oxide has not worn off yet. Man that stuff is FUN! I had never had it before. Last time I was there they said they had to switch out tanks - apparently they never turned the new tank on because I didn't feel anything. The dentist was working on an upper tooth and my head was tilted back. The only thing was the mask kept sliding on my nostrils cutting off my breathing so I told them after a while to take the mask off. THIS time they asked if I wanted it again. I said "what duh heck" - give it one more try. Welllllllllllllllllllllll boys and girls. GUess that tank was hummin' after about 20 minutes I got all buzzed feeling - kinda like after your 6th glass of wine or 4th Tequila Sunrise. Just all warm and fuzzy feeling. I was hoping I wouldn't think of dopey things and start laughing. Instead I was thinking I'd love to get to goal a year from now and go back to DH's hometown - go sit on the rocks by the oceanside and have him take a nice picture of me. I have always really admired other people's pictures in that sort of setting with the water and a setting sun (tho in this case we'd have to do sunrise) as a background. Seemed like a good plan and one to motivate me to get to goal weight. Meanwhile Mr. Dentist shot me full of novocaine and the procedure was very tolerable. He said there were several large cracks in the tooth so the timing was good. Just can't wear my night guard because I might pop off the temporary crown. I think I'm going to like this dentist
I did not plan well this morning - was supposed to have a big breakfast so that I could skip lunch. Didn't. And though I was careful munching the meatballs from my meatball sandwich at lunch, I see that I have managed to chew up my front lip. Doesn't feel as bad as I thought it would once the novocaine wore off but whudda dummy!
For now I can put my SAP stuff behind me - me and my buddy who have worked so hard these last few weeks REFUSE to do the same thing to fix April's data. Today I worked on catch up stuff in between the dentist. I have another interview tomorrow for another job I applied for - step 2 of 3 I imagine. Still torn between what the right thing to do is. But enough yammering about me...
Suzi - if we're doing the Sydney leg of the tour - can we
PLEASE do a workout at your fabulous gym with the great view? I don't even care if you make us do a rigourous work out. That is so sad about the woman with the troubled DD - hope you were able to help her some.
Shad - that's ok that you can't help me. I appreciate the offer. More than that I appreciate the sympathy of one who truly understands the pain one can feel. Are you going to be able to see the Butchart Gardens on your trip up north? I know it was up in the air about flight and travel times. Wish I could travel along with you - it sounds wonderful - including meeting up with the Canadian chicks. DH and I were looking at the front yard today - we decided we think on what we're going to plant - same flowers we have on one side - they are hearty bloomers, come back again on their own and all you have to do is fill in an occasional bare spot where they might not have re-seeded well. They start blooming in early March and are hearty for the cool spring weather and even tolerate the hot summer days as long as we give them a drink of water. We have spent hundreds of dollars each year on annuals - some of which don't last all that long - I think I'm taking the easy route with perennials. Yes, it means I can't change the beds around but then again - that doesn't require a weekend of bed prep and another weekend or two of planting each year also! Can do some accent pots if I want some variety. Anyway as we were looking at the front beds, I was thinking - wish Shad was coming sooner
I do have you pegged for giving us a lesson or two on keeping the roses looking better.
Carla - you paid out of pocket for 5 crowns on your own? Geez
that could have been a new car. Wow. You have just brought me back down to earth about the fantasy of working for yourself. Kinda forget about the things like don't work, no pay and no insurance and paid holidays. Glad your dentist appt was a little one. Love the koala avatar - trade you a froggie cat for a cute koala.
Ceejay - yay on the "downsizing" - good to hear you got some healthy and tasty meals while away. Can BBQ be healthy? Bet your living room is looking good now that you have all the new furniture.
Madcat - did you get your water in today? Seems like you are very strong on the working out part. I admire that in you. I do well on the food but not so good at the working out part. I always think of you when I'm trying to drag some motivation into me.
on seeing a good scale number - the best motivator. Keep up the good work!
Good that you can be a sharp eyed shopper Holly. I imagine it costs a bundle keeping kids in the "activity gear".
Hmmm tonight was supposed to be Garlic Cream Shrimp but I just don't feel like it. Might just make a pot of WW tortellini vegetable soup. I guess I can whip up the individual breakfast frittas too. Off to the kitchen then.
Give the pups a hug Ruth!
Painter, Meadow, Teel, Linus, Tig - would be nice to hear from you again when you have the chance.
) And I got a bunch of errands done. Could it be the possible effect of all that sunshine? At last?
Good hearty farm food, but no wonder my teeth are full of fillings!
with a Spaniard who spoke very little English but had learned to say "suffering succotash" like Sylvester from watching cartoons. The only thing funnier was when he tried to order "blackened swordfish". Just thinking of it brings a (lecherous) smile to my face... 
FOR ALL AND HAVE A GREAT DAY TOMORROW
HOPE THE MASTER DATA WENT OK!!
not for me but the house! huge issues with our upstairs loo and such ...not nice. People of squeemish tummies should stop reading NOW!
which he broke! so now he tried to unblock this and whoosh! everything came on him! p..p and all! it a way good job, poor fellow though, lkuckily i had poured so much stuff down the pipe because I was worried about the smell and hygeine, it will be quite clean p..p!
and since I don't know a lot, that's saying something. All I have to do now is to bring it all together in a manual. Then we can say it is finito!!
