Ghoulies are workin' out in July! (Page 4)

I keep saying the same thing. I just haven't decided yet if actually playing the lottery will increase my chances, or if they will stay about the same as they are now.

At midnight...which requires I be awake for another 12hrs.....

WHAT? What kind of crazy Canadian planning is that? You should get a nap in before you go pick him up.

It was American planning. He booked his flight!

I'm guessing it was because he had to werk today.

And you better get that nap in because we know ya won't be sleeping once he gets there.

Robin, sorry to hear you are still feeling poorly.  Sending healing ghoulie ju ju your way.

Ya he had to work and is driving up to Minneapolis to fly direct to Van from there.

Oh we will be sleeping. I'm in taper!

Just use the sun screen

Have fun at your race, Dr Science team.

Hi Gouhlies! I miss the entire village! I have been running around crazy for the last week or so--I haven't even blogged (on my logs here), or worked for almost a week, or checked my email for 4 days. Eek! That one was not pretty...

I biked tonight--bike speed interval training with some peeps from the local tri club. I have been wanting to go do this for almost a year--and I finally made it! Now it looks like it will be a regular thing every week, for the duration of the tri season at least. Yay! 

Also, it looks like we are buying some recreational property--a little slice of land where we can park the travel trailer and we can camp and hubby can ride his ATV to his little hearts content. Although that means more money needs to be spent because we only ave one ATv, and it is a racing type, and he wants to get a prowler-type, 4 seater. Do you think he'll have a harder time breaking his collarbone with that kind if I let him buy it? They do have seatbelts in them. And a roll bar. Hmmmm.

I'll come back tomorrow and try to get caught up on the pages I've missed. Right now it's time for a shower and this momma's bedtime.  

Good morning Ghoulies!

I already got my trainer ride in for today. It wasn't pretty, but it's done. If I am going to do that again I am going to have to put my bike and trainer out in the garage. The sound I was making in the basement had the dogs barking upstairs, that's not good when everyone else in the house is asleep.

Morning Ghouligans.

I am off to the Games. Not healed but better. At least the temp is down to a reasonable level and I can swallow.

I'll be back on Monday. Have fun.

Have a good time, Robin!!!

Good morning Ghoulies!

Sending good juju Kim!!!

WOOT!

Good morning Ghoulies!

What a weekend!

My niece got married on Saturday. My BIL and I were the wedding photographers. I was on my feet for the better part of 7 hours. When they were doing the bouquet, and the garter, I couldn't stand anymore, I let my BIL get those shots. I went home, took some heavy duty pain killers, and spent the rest of the evening on my heating pad.

Yesterday we had my nephew's birthday party at my house. If I wasn't helping to get things ready I was on my recliner on my heating pad.

When most of the family had left I got the clippers out and cut my 2 year old nephew's hair, my dad's hair, my husband's hair, and my son's hair. My dad has had a comb over FOREVER. The top of his head is completely bald, but it isn't even like he is combing over a lot of hair to cover it, it was maybe 30 stragely hairs. It looked horrible. I cut them off yesterday. He said he was mad, I didn't really believe him. My mom thanked me.

Last night my husband took the kids to the drive-in to see Cars 2. Other family members were taking their kids and going. I stayed home. They didn't get home until 11:30, that's way past my bedtime on a school night.

That was pretty much my weekend.

ROBIN!!!

How were the games?

They were fantastic. The people, music, food and drink were amazing. I was a pretty good girl and didn't over do too much- you have to overdo some while there. I met a friend in the flesh that I "met" on this site 3 years ago. It was great. I am still trying to get the sound of bagpipes out of my head. Today is recovering the puppy from jail and washing all clothes and re washing dishes.

This is almost TMI, but there are hot showers available from 6-8 in the morning. You have to get up and get in line and if you are not one of the first 10 women, the water is cold. There are what we call Hokey-pokey showers or religious showers ( for "you put your one arm in.. put your other arm in..." or  because you shout "O MY GOD" because the water is straight from the mountain .....COLD!). I avoided them and just washed what I needed to. After the shower last night, I lost a pound.

I also walked my feet to a pulp and laughed till my stomach muscles ached. Check this out- From the Bear race (5 miles with a  1600 ft elevation climb and an average of 8 % incline the whole way_

Of course, that was my step-son running but I am loving that it is posted on the web that way!!!

Jim did it in 71 minutes.

He can run for me ANYTIME!

He was disappointed in his time, too! I wish I could go that fast anytime. let alone up hill!

My kids are at soccer camp from 9-12 this week. I wonder how they're doing.

My guess is... having fun! I think you should go and check to be sure! I'll tell your boss.
