TAN #188: Festive Holiday TANkfulness! (Page 35)

Yes yes we are still an "item" officially
Taking a trip to Miami in a few weeks and we're trying to figure out where to go for New Years Eve-  any suggestions welcome! 

So I finally got the Christian Grey reference last night after someone told me about the book trilogy. Makes me think of Lisa in a whole new light.

Yes you do, the laundry is waiting for you.

What kind of atmosphere are you looking for?

Great news!

Good morning TAN.

TJ, I am living proof that tall and lanky doesn't equal flexible.  

I assumed if there was more to fold it would be easier. See...I shouldn't assume anything.

I am signed up until Jan, interested to see if there are any improvements, so far NONE! 

BY FAR the worst yogie in the room but motivated by the tip top shaped bodies!  Steering and watching other yogies is creepy but I still do it. 

I hate yoga. Its hard for me to get into. And it agitates me to no end. I get very bored and anxious. So I no longer partake. I do a mobility and flexibility class that is more like very painful stretching and digging into your muscles with rollers and balls and such. It hurts the whole time and that keeps my mind occupied.

TJ.....hate is such a strong word but with ya :-)

Heh. Ok. How about ....really do not like. . Yoga, classical music, gentle massages....things like that make me anxious. I can't wait to get away from it. My heart rate gets jacked up. I become visibly agitated and irritated. Squirmy. I want to scream. Odd no?

So your more of a Heavy Metal, Mosh pit, Cross Fit kind of lady?  ;-P  (yeah, Im running and hiding again for that other word you hate)

Quiet, relaxing, soothing things make you that anxious? Odd yes.

Funny, it is so hard for me to be still too, and not squirm/twitch/itch BUT I also feel it is an important quality and learned skill.

But when in a stressful situation I can see its value to find a carefree place and let the "bad" energy go!

For NYE - a fun/party/but mature atmosphere, but not obnoxious or stressful like NYC. Would like to do something active (hike? ski?) while we're there... thinking Dallas right now since we can drive there easily. 

We threw around places like Denver or Tahoe, but nothing really jumped out. And cruises are 4x as expensive that week than any other time of the year (that was 1st choice).

Ah - thought you were going to be in Miami for it! I've been in Ft Lauderdale for it - Street party downtown and on the beach

I did Whistler - and the problem was that most parties were expensive, and there was no fun to be had outside in the village (watched multiple arrests that night!). We found a neat little place with a small cover charge, but the fun was more in the company than the venue.

I have to laugh.  I can't BELIEVE I spent an hour yesterday defending myself about being NICE/POLITE!  Really?  we have to do that?

Next I suppose I will have to defend supporting the troops, helping an old lady across the street, saving a puppy from the shelter, or volunteering at a soup kitchen...

Speaking of puppies.  I went to the vet to get my dogs their routine bordetella shots, and rabies vacine.  60 bucks, tops.  I brought up a couple issues, and 535 bucks later, found my little girl dog has a bladder stone.  MAYBE they can disolve it, but it could be a 2k surgery....

I love dogs and I want to do what I can for them.  But they are not people...  I guess I have to drop the 2k, but dayum, that sucks...

You have to look at who was arguing with you and take it with a grain elevator of salt.

Yep! They always have. Don't like like to be romanced either. I don't do jewelry. I don't wear heels. I don't drink wine. I don't care if a restaurant is fancy or expensive. I have a trailer park palate. Haha! I am who I am and stopped pretending to be anything but that in my early 40's. And yes ....I like the angry hard music very much. It relaxes me.

And don't forget chupacabras.

I find that odd that I like listening to Tool, some Jane's Addiction, first Metallica, and some other angry stuff, too, to relax.  Just clip on the earbuds, crank it up, and tune out.

I got called mean and miserable this week?  I am a lot of things, these....I just do not think are a correct.

I've never heard it phrased that way before.  Fun neh.

Yeah, I don't get that.  It's not expected that much or anymore, it seems.  You hold a door open for someone and they look at you strange.  Really??

Oh, I know!  I even thought it was pushing buttons but I was not biting or even getting upset.

BTW, I'm a MUCH happier person now that the pressure of the race is over!  I don't get worked up on BT anymore.

Did they ask if they could call you mean and miserable?
