Yeah, and if you thought YESTERDAY was interesting ... the bolded part, btw, is probably the funniest thing I've read this year.

Now, scramble all the Planneds, Unplanneds, and characters around, and that was only part of the craziness today. I iz dizzy ...

QueenZipp - 2011-04-19 2:57 AM yeeha!  walk one street and jog the next for 30 min today, made sure to walk the inclines.  I do believe if my legs keep from complaining on this that I may really be out of that office sooner rather than later!!

Hey gang,

Sorry I haven't really been checking in!  Not too much computer time, lately!  I got a really good long bike ride in yesterday... probably longer than it should have been because I was getting problems with numbness in my feet and had to keep stopping to stretch out my legs.  Finally I figured out what it was- I had thick socks on because it was cold, but then it made my shoes too tight and cut off circulation in my feet.  Once I took off my socks, my riding suddenly became better and faster!  Funny how having blood going to your feet makes such a difference!   They were still numb at the end of the ride, but because my feet were cold, not from lack of circulation.  I think I need to get those booty things that go over your bike shoes.

I'll try catching up with this thread later tonight.... Probably won't be able to respond to all of it, but I'll read up on what you guys have been up to!

Sorry this happened to you. Just remember we love you Yanti, even if he doesn't.

You definitely have to hang still!  Sorry you're still injured...

Thanks! Hopefully I will be seeing some recovery when the orthotic insoles arrive.

On a positive note, I got a sexy new ride!! Now I just need to break the fear... it's my first road bike and the handling and balancing is MUCH different. It took me 20 minutes + husband's support to even get going on the thing. I thought that I was going to leave the store without a bike today. I was such a wimp. Video evidence is the only way you would understand what a mess I was building up the balls to ride. I think I maxed out at about 15km/h, but I know with a few practice sessions I should be more comfortable.

So, the fact that Emma is getting a puppy has me thinking this morning...  Do puppies leave you gross presents?  If not, I may need to switch my thinking from being a "cat person" to a "dog person".   My cat has caught an unbeliveable amount of mice/moles/voles  in the last week and keeps leaving them right outside the front door.  Hubby is very proud of our boy for protecting his garden...  but I am just about done with the GROSSness of it all!

Maybe I should just get fish?

D001 - 2011-04-19 10:06 AM My dog gives me soggy, slimy tennis balls. Does that count?

QueenZipp - 2011-04-18 4:29 PM Sweet bike!! Bet you are glad you waited from that other bike you looked at a few months ago!!

Emmanem - 2011-04-19 10:36 AM So after hours and hours of searching for miniature schnauzer breeders and finding some very pricey puppies (James loves me but I think he's going to draw the line at a $1000 puppy  , I think I've found the right breeder.  She says she has 2 females that have been bred and she'll know soon if they are pregnant.  If they are the puppies would be ready to go home late July/early August which is when we wanted to get one since that's when we'll be moving in to a new apartment.  Also she's just 45 minutes away which is the closest breeder I've found.  The puppy would be $350 and would be up to date on shots, have a health guarantee and come with a puppy kit (food, leash, toys).  I'm very very excited.  I can't wait to bring the little guy home.

Well, a stoopid meeting came up and never did get to run in the sun...  But I did get on the dreadmill.
