Mental Manatee Mentors Part 3--CLOSED (Page 54)

Oh. My. God. I read a short article on them once and quickly figured out they areway past me. They got stuff figured out, but it is only for a select few folks.

OMG I need to publicly complain about this so you guys know what I have been going through every  day!

Our gym @ work is getting renovated (starting with the locker rooms) So in the interim we are using the "commuter" locker room which apparently uses a different hot water supply and is not built for the capacity it's currently placed under. Anyway, long story short I have had to start ever day with a COLD shower. Like, really cold. And the new locker rooms don't open until May 

You can seriously stand outside of the locker room and hear women shrieking every morning. It's that bad. 

ohnoyoudint

although Jo has used it and so far seems to have some good things to say about it.

Yes. You have BOLLOCKSED my RR writing. For shame.

I should go to sleep, but I'll just take a long nap tomorrow evening before dinner and/or go to bed very early.

I need ridiculousness of the actually funny and "normal" (meaning we normally do it) sort right now anyway.

Please enlighten. Since you've got all this time . . . . (taper, taper, taper)

Pfffft that's just my life normally

That was funny though. And didn't it just snow up there, too? Yikes!

Simple. Don't shower Wet wipes and dry shampoo are your friend.

Well, I don't really think we are disagreeing. I am not a Galloway fan, necessarily, but I think I do understand his philosophy/reasoning well enough. Understanding is not the same as agreeing.

Yeah, it's almost like I set you up for that comment, eh?

I've never used dry shampoo but it might be time to start! Or I may shower before I ride in and just do my hair at work since I don't get TOO sweaty on the bike. I don't think I can handle another cold shower.

Ha, I would actually like to read their book first.

I just think it's one of those plans that people see and think, "Oh, less work?Sounds good!" but don't really follow the principles.

I'll read the book and get back to you though. That's a safe activity for taper! 

I am going to make hot chocolate with teddy bear marshmallows and scout the kitchen for anything that doesn't qualify as food, but that I want to eat.

ex/ Pop Tarts, popcorn, chocolate, etc.

What???? Popcorn isn't a food? I even put it in its own group!

Yeah, it's like a ... a whole grain right????

Not the way I ideally have it

However, I actually like plain air-popped corn too. Just not nearly as much as the kettle or butter-riddled varieties. Or cheddar cheese. Or bacon-bitsed.

DH hooked the trainer up to my bike last night! So I can now be productive (training-wise) during my "mommy time" in the afternoon. Going to try for an hour today, but we'll see how I feel after a week of butt time. Yuck...

Did I see that Janyne took first in AG??? Wheeeehaw! Another Super Wo-Manatee

Yes! It's a family "thing". Mom made for movie nights on weekend for years. Now I do it with my kids. Pop in pan on stove. Pour on a bit of real melted butter and lightly salt. Soooooo good!

I love this.

And anything involving butt time.

That is nuts. I should have you start writing my RRs. 

Oh, so THIS happened this weekend, too! HAHA you know you have a ton of cousins/run a lot when stuff like this happens:

And this is where I had said I wanted to do a cross between Barry P and Galloway.  But maybe I should've said Barry P with run/walk.  I honestly hadn't thought about/looked into Galloways PLANS, just the run/walk.  Now I understand the concerns you have Salty.

OwoooOOOOoooooOOOooo

I'm also supposed to translate my dad's autobiography into English in time to have a bunch of copies printed for his official memorial on April 25th. (Muslim funerals here are very fast, gotta get 'em in the ground by sundown, so memorials are often held 40 days, an auspicious date, after the burial).

It's awesome, and a privilege. There are dignitaries coming in from all over the world, including two U.S. Senators. My dad was one of the founders of the country, the Indonesian intelligence organization, helped organize our armed forces, and was the point man for Indonesian-U.S. relations for most of his life, among many other things. That's not even to mention how--err--interesting his personal and family life were. (Those shall be included in my unauthorized, unedited version of his biography. )

But not so darn fast! aaaaaaaah

I'm thinking Google Translate is going to be my friend. It can do it a lot faster than I can, and my editing/proofing is REALLY fast. It doesn't have to be a tremendous linguistic rendition at this point--just generally accurate and readable. The events and stories are so powerful themselves; they really do the speaking for themselves.

My entire Hanson knowledge is summed up in one word:

Intensity.

That's all I know. Oh and I know that Janyne Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!

There may be other stuff, but I'm going to drink and watch Spring Training while hanging out with TW (The Wife) tonight, so I may kill those brain cells

bcraht - 2013-03-26 5:36 AM Just did my first ever Yoga class.  Is it normal afterwards to feel like I just smoked a fat one?

Sweet! I gotta do more yoga!

LOL. Yes. It can feel that way.

Avoid the brownies.
