Ghoulies Inspired & Wet November Challenge (Page 23)

I WILL HELP KIM SHERPA!!!!!

How did the hot night go after ACING your test?
I bet Neal was jealous.

So........ how did the week go? Are you going to like it? How is the recovery going?
Tell all.

That would be great to see you guys at NYC. The DH is excited for me. Now I need to get my training on and raise that 1500 dollars.

The butt is not too bad today but it is going to be hard to find clothes that coordinate with the bruises on the arms.

On that note, I better get my run in. It may be really slow due to the sore tush. And now I have two longer runs back to back. Not good training but there is not much else I can do about it.
Other than to not be such a klutz!

Hello to my very long lost ghoulies!  Oh how I miss you all so much! Thank you for sending the search party out for me...unfortunatly I can not hang around....s....c....h...o...o......l is sucking up all my time as you can tell by my ALL white calender
Melindy I have no idea how you do both! I need to figure this out before my IM training is supposed to start!
Hope all is going good in the village....can anyone give me a quick update?

One of my cats brought in a chipmunk yesterday.  That was fun getting him out of the house.  Wish I had a video camera going.

At one point I'm holding the front door open and the cat chases the chipmunk from the living room to the hallway, but does the chipmunk go out the open front door?   Noooooooooo, instead it runs between my legs and into the dining room.  Dumb chipmunk.  Or maybe smart because it was rather cold outside.

Hello Kim.

I miss so much myself, that I'm no good at updates.

Well Neal doesn't really have anything to be jealous about--other than you know, the fact that I got to spend my night with some extremely good looking firemen...Haha. *sigh sexy arms. sexy azzes...Mmmmm...Don't worry Neal, you arn't so bad yourself in my book!

It was a pretty awesome way to spend my night after ACING my test--because I ACED IT!!! *toot toot*. Haha. I was a bit nervous in the beginning when I walked into the station to like 15 guys in the kitchen making dinner, but a few of them talked with me about school and why I had decided to come and I was good we sat down to dinner and ate a stir fly. Pretty much as soon as we had finished cleaning up after dinner the alarm went for the pump truck and I got to go to a fire!!! So coool. It was pretty busy downtown at that time and it was kind of funny listening to the driver talking to himself as he was driving and people wern't getting out of the way. I got to go on 3 calls and hang out at the station. It was pretty cool! I don't know if I have felt so small though....wow...those guys are BIG. I know I'm not big, but I was dwarfed! Haha.

I just looked at my meet entries for next weekend and then entered me with all my best times again from like 5 years ago...ahhhh!!!

Reporting in for the day Ghoulies!

Today was the last soccer game for both kids. My son did very well this year, and was much improved. He ran the defense, and sometimes also played midfield. Their team had a very successful season. I'm very proud of him.

My daughter just finished her first season of soccer. I remember sitting at the dinner table 3 nights before her first game with her crying saying she didn't want to play. We made her stick with it, and I think we are all happy about that. She is a soccer machine. She scored a total of 8 goals this season, even with missing 3 games. I saw a total of 1 of her goals.   I did not get to today's game until right before halftime today, I was with my son at his game. My husband didn't think she'd be a striker the second half, because she played that position the first half. I was so relieved when she was on the line to start the second half of the game. She's an animal. She's aggressive, she's good, and I am so proud of her.

I like kids playing soccer. I'm not a fan of their parents. My son's team was winning their game and with a few minutes left the coach switched kids around to give kids who normally didn't play offense a chance to score. One of the moms was having a fit about this. Her kid is good, he was a vital part of the team being so successful, but no future soccer scholarships or MLS contracts were decided in the final few minutes of today's game. Get over it and let the kids play.

After soccer we went for groceries. I had to nap when we got home, soccer and grocery shopping wore me out.

Getting ready to play cards now. You're all welcome to stop by.

Good to see you KIM.  When does your IM training start?

Sounds like the video would have been priceless ... LOL

Just glad you are not hurt worse.  Try arnica gel or cream on the bruises.  Sure speeds up healing

That is really neat that you got to do that! 

Just finished a nice run around the lake (twice).  The fall colors are gorgeous!

*whew*   Looks like Dee and I were both running at the same time. I set my bike up on the trainer for the first time of the season today. I pedaled for an hour while I watched my Utes play football. They got creamed. Then I went for a 2 mile brick run. My legs feel a little heavy right about now.

I bet!   Good going, Amy!

Good morning ghoulies!

Woke up at 6 this morning.  Thank you DST
