There are just SO many of DSDs friends I would LOVE to share this with!!! University kids, driving better cars than I EVER had (or likely to have), mom and dad paying their rent and for their education; trips to Mexico etc for spring break, and yet they don't have 'any money'... I asked two of them if they would like to do some work around the house for me for a little over minimum wage, but stuff that either DH and I just don't seem to get around to doing, and/or is somewhat strenous/physical and is better done by younger bodies. The response: no, I'm taking the summer off; it was a hard school year, we need to relax......... GRRR!!!!!!!!!

And speaking of movies, do you hear the theme song of 'Rocky' as I take the trophy??

today - At the Y bright and early, did 30 min on the elliptical. added to yesterday: 35 min brisk walk at lunch

Oh goodie! I used to love playing 'steal the flag'... Tapshoes swoops in, steals the flag (and the trophy) and hies away....the winner!

Morning all my fellow PJTP-ers! Is it only in my office, or has this week had at least 3 Wednesdays????

Isn't it great LilMiss, that second place finishers get trophies too?

Better put on your sunglasses - my halo is glowing!

**Do. not. bite. Keep. PJTP thread. PG free.** Tap refrains from joining in...but it's killing her!!!:lol:

Re: the ring situation - I agree! Re: weight versus size - I can understand it intellectually, but in reality, I NEED to see weight and clothing size numbers both be what I want! Re: the university needs a parent to attend orientation? WTH is that about? I'd have immediately vetoed any university that suggested that back in the day...particularly when I went back the second time in my 30's!! Re: 'baby is growing up; don't know if I am ready"...I'm sure my mother was saying - Thanks be to God; get her outta here!!!:thumbup:

Only in your dreams NCsQueen, only in your dreams!!!!

In my experience, flights over 35000' and/or of 4+ hours resulted in tightness the next day...so I would be on fluids. Shorter flights have not been a problem.

I agree...it was very annoying that their clothing designers thought that everyone who was big around, was also tall...sleeves that met the ground with cuffs that were sized to fit my neck not my wrists.

I kept mine for a LONG time...mostly because I didn't have others to wear so went around wearing clothes that were WAY too big. Eventually, I started to buy a few smaller articles, and purged my closet of everything else. I bagged and boxed them and gave them to Goodwill. Since then, and as I continue to buy smaller clothes, I toss clothing monthly....well, not toss it, I donate it to either goodwill or a local women's shelter.

Well, in my experience there are many males, but MEN...nope, few and far between (by my definition, a MAN has maturity of the brain not just the body) :thumbup: Well said. That's great! New size, and great attitude! LOL! I agree.

Well, I do admire your flexibility...chewing your toenails?!?! And yes, I wish more people followed that principle: do not say you will or will not do something if you do not intend to live up to your words! Which is NOT the basis of trust, or a solid relationship I hope the time away gives you both an opportunity to think calmly about the relationship. I hope things go well for you.

I hope you enjoyed your temporary possession of MY trophy....I am the winner!

Like Susan, I would give the ring back, but only because to me, accepting it would be akin to agreeing that there is at the very least some potential relationship...but that's me.

Congratulations! What a fabulous achievement.:thumbup:

At the Y this morning - did my upper body workout, and then did 30 min cycling. I will HAVE to add in some additional stuff tonight to try to negate yesterdays caloric blowout...see Accountability thread for details...) I did however add to yesterdays exercise - I had a brisk 30 min walk at lunch. P.S. Where is everyone? Rhap? TravelAnna? Blklab? come out come out.....

Continuing in my monologue.... Last night I was not so good....:w00t::thumbup: I had not one, but 2 cans of chickpeas...do you know how many calories are in chickpeas?? 1c = 270cal. How many cups are in 1 large can? 2? So, I had 4 cups or 1080 in ONE sitting! This means I had almost my entire day's intake of calories at the end of the day...after having my regular meals. I think I am beyond hope/redemption...........

Perhaps so...of course as I am not on Facebook, I would miss your literate fulsome wise discourse on the movie, alack, alas. Last night was Crimson Tide. The opportunity to watch Denzel, and Viggo Mortenson.....be still my heart! However the merit of a movie is not in the actors...it is in the story, the acting, and the cinematography, so the movie was a 3.

You are under no obligation to return it. It's a gift. Whether you want to keep a gift given under these circumstances is the question.

Diana Krall - When or Where

Random PJTP...you may now return to the ongoing saga of SMS's life - flying high with pilots, drunken booty calls, days on the beach, rings from men... my life is SOOOO dull .

Flashed in front of a mirror, did you???:lunch:
