FancyPants Group- CLOSED (Page 14)

This body for life thing has gone out the window. I just don't have enough time in my day to juggle it all. The scratched corneas are really throwing my training off too. ARRRGGGHHH!!!

I ran this morning. It felt so incredible. I used to run all the time in the mornings. I want to get back into that. I borrowed the body for life book and the flat abs book from the library. I am serious about needing to trim down. I tried to privatize my logs this morning. I have personal reasons for doing that. Check and see if you guys can still see them. If I can't do that I will just find somewhere else to log my workouts and then let you know through p.m.

Ginny, its so great when the kids are proud of us. That doesn't happen often. Savor that statement. Print it out and frame it!

Ann, hope the nausea is getting better. I swam with Jim Donaldson's nephew again on Monday. We were talking about the women's tri in July. He will be there volunteering.

Matt, I hijacked the thread on RWBF about what men want. I thought what you said about your wife was so sweet. I didn't know if you knew that I am getsteppin' on that site.

Congratulations Granny Ginny! I am so excited. That is great! First grandchild and a HM all in one week, you sure are having a memorable week.

I think I fixed my blog. Inspire away, please.

Ginny, you are way too young and rockin' hot to be a grandma!  Those pics are great!  I love the finish line ones the best, you look so excited and happy. 

Happy Mother's Day!  (a little late but we deserve a Mother's week!) 

I had a huge day at work.  Lots of stress.  After my fall on Saturday, and the healing hand, I skipped swimming tonight.  I am continuing to run before work in the morning.  I love that time of day.  That is my stress relief. 

Nice swim today Anne.  Ginny, its good to see you're running again.  Now I just have to get you into biking and we'll be good to go for August. 

I got my son's wedding invitation today.  I have my nose a little bent out of joint.  The invite states her "parents request the honor of our presence" but the invite says nothing about me and my husband.  Petty, I know, but weird.  The bride's family has really kept us out of this whole wedding thing.  Its just strange to me.  I am trying hard to not make my son feel bad but he has not stuck up for our family at all throughout this.  For the record we only have 60 of the 290 people invited from our side.  AAAAUUUGHH!!!  This is why I have to be a knockout.  I have to look incredibly hot compared to the mother of the bride, its all I have.  I am petty, really.  Thank you for letting me vent.

You guys always know how to make me feel better. Ginny, I have the advantage because my son, after a lot of fighting and tears from me and his sisters, is not inviting his father who he has no relationship with. He decided on his own but only after it was pointed out to him that he should reconcile first, before the wedding. He did not want to do that and decided it would make everyone feel uncomfortable.

The bride's mother is something else. She is in control of everything. Even to the point of telling me if I wanted to give a shower for the kids I could because she was throwing a shower for her family. The rehearsal dinner is what we are paying for but I have no say. I offered to pay for the cake because I wanted one of my best friend's to make it. She is awesome and has made every cake for our family. They begrudgingly agreed as long as they didn't have to pay. They did spend a lot of money on the shower cake from a bakery that "all her friends recommend" and had for their daughter's weddings. It was pretty but we are still doing the cake with my friend. This way she could impress at the shower. It is all about keeping up with the Joneses. These are 2 college kids who are offering to pay nothing. They are still depending on her family to pay for their college (we set a certain amt aside and my son is gone through that already). They are just acting so entitled.

I will survive as long as you let me vent. Her mother told me I had to wait till after she bought her dress to buy mine so I wouldn't buy something that would clash with hers. AAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!

As far as the arm goes, I fell on Saturday when running.  That makes 2 running falls in 6 months, 2 bike falls, and 2 bike trainer falls.  I am surprised I haven't broken anything yet.

AKR18 - 2009-05-13 5:29 AM I Jo, what is with all the falling???? No more. Race season is starting! It would stink to do all that training and then be out for a season. Oh, wait......I know all about that!

I would guess what led you to being out for a season was a lot more fun than falling.

Have fun at the garage sale.  I hate those too and usually just good will everything.  I have a whole basement full of stuff that is going this weekend. We talked about taking our trailer and just hauling it all at once instead of making a million trips.  Its nice to clean house.

Oops!  My bad.  Changed on blog.
