Hold on I remember a drunken picture.... do i need to go find it? Im sure Dee would like it...

lol... I'm not ashamed of that picture. I was always told to put your best foot forward... then show the drunken pics!

it's a great pic!

Hi Blake!

So, what did you end up making for dinner?

oh, you would love my enchiladas then!

Thanks for asking Bill!

the weekend went really really well - while we didn't find our 'dream house' - we did a lot of narrowing down

the fam now knows a bit more about the area and can actually picture it out here

we may end up renting for a bit as we continue the search - (might be a way to save some more money toward a down payment and get us closer to what we really want and are used to)

in today's market, we're a bit hesitant to buy a house that we will want to move out of in a year or 2

anyway - it was a fabulous weekend!

Ok, whew!  I think I'm all caught up.

Beth!  We both spun and swam today.  I was planning on swimming and then hitting the trainer.  I was gonna be all productive and work late, but since that girl went nuts when she got fired things changed.  Turns out she told somebody she was going to get her boyfriend, some nuts hot head type, and was going to bring him up to the building.  They got security there and had all of us stop what we were doing and leave immediately.  CRAZIEST DAY AT WORK EVER!!

Soooo, I had plenty of time to make a killer spin class.  Then I got chlorinated.  Butterfly included.  Then I came home and made this:

4 egg omelette with mushrooms, onions, cheese, and imitation lobster meat.  Why imitation?  If I could afford real lobster I wouldn't wasted it in an omelette.  First you gotta separate the whites and yolks.  Beat the whites, then mix them with the yolks.  Sautee the onions, mushrooms, and meat (any kind of meat will do) in olive oil.  Pour the egg mixture in the skillet.  Flip like a chef.  While the other side is cooking, clean up what fell on the floor when you flipped.  Add the cheese.  Fold it over the best you can.  Then dig in for an uber-recovery meal.  It goes great with hot sauce and a Turbodog.

Hi Bill!

that omlette looks Yummy!!!! where's mine? - LOL  I had 2 WW quesidillas - not too bad

that is crazy about work - wow - they told everyone to leave the building????

did she come back?

wow!

ps

I'm digging the smell of chlorine

I have no idea if she came back.  "I have to stop working and go home?  Don't need to tell me twice!"

chlorine

well, if anything interesting happened, I'm sure you will find out tomorrow!

I can't believe how good my swim felt - it was great to be back in the water!

No kidding!  It actually turns out I really missed the water.  You had a great one today!

G'night Bill! 

Love the new avatar

nice to *see* you - as always!

thanks!

you too

so, what made you ignore the water?

just curious

I was doing all that running for one.  And it drained me.  Then I just didn't want to drive to the pool, so I'd pull out the trainer to make up for it.  Then I figured, swimming is what I'm good at, so I can let it slide.

This week I decided to stop making excuses and realize that... I LOVE TO SWIM!

LOL!  and how fitting that I said a run felt GREAT this week

I do love swimming!

 - November and December of last year kind of burned me out - the only thing I did was swim - I was trying to get over PF - good news is it worked

Whoh!  Just checked those November and December totals!  You're a shark, too!  I'd say given all your travels and work, that you've done a more than admirable job finding the water the past however many weeks.  Sometimes it's just tough to find the time.  Real life and such

I was really on top of it February through May, but that was because of the OLY plan.  It worked wonders, too.  Now that I'm basically training for a "fun" race while really wanting to just be a bum until the HIM stuff kicks in, I'm just having a hard time finding the motivation to get to the pool.  When I do, though, I love it.  I'd really like to hit 250k yards for the year, primarily just because it would be cool to say I swam a quarter of a million yards

Can you tell I'm three weeks out from a race?  Haha... the "kick it up week" with the taper looming.  Weird training moods already kicking in.  At least they're coming and going.  In a week and a half I'll be completely mental.
