Girl Passing on Left (FULL) (Page 92)

oooooooooooh  I want to see it too! let me know what you think! I just finished the third book and still have the 4th and the one where you see it thru Edwards eyes...that never made it to print....then I will have to find a new series to read..suggestions???

Offthegrid - 2009-03-16 6:20 AM Well, I think the deal's just been sealed for me moving out. I have to go in to work early tomorrow, and my roomie made a big deal again about me having to get up earlier than she does. (Obviously I have to get up before her so I can use the bathroom. GRR!) If it were ME alone, I would get up at 5 a.m. so I could still go swimming before having to be to work early. But I know there's no way that would fly. I simply cannot have her getting on my case about something I have no choice over (work). I'm talking with what seems like a nice woman my age about renting a room in her house, so hopefully that will go well and I can move in there sometime soon. She also went through a divorce and is also trying to lose weight, so it actually would probably be a really good friendship for me. Um, any suggestions about gently breaking the news to roomie? I was *hoping* that we'd be pretty good training buddies, but now I am not so sure. She is a super awesome cyclist, so I could really use her help. It will be kind of a delicate balance, especially if she starts asking why I'm moving out. Unless she turns out to be happy, which would be the best outcome.

tell her that you want to remain friends and think it best if you move out to remain friends...say that you do not want to wake her or cause any further disruptions and have found a good deal on a room in a house....she should be thrilled for you! and if not....sorry to say..GOOD RIDDANCE! hope it works out for you with the room...sounds IDEAL! hang tough girl~!

always good to have you back! sounds like good times! glad Linkin is getting his runs, too! could he train Kalli so that she can run with me!? she is soo outta control...here there everywhere type of sniffy dog! can Linkin help?

sorry to hear about your ankle! takes time to heal...so be careful. my dd messed hers up bad by continuing to use it...have you had an xray? and are you icing, elevating and compressing?

how cute is he!??? so his name? age? I am looking to rescue a Boston Terrier...if anyone hears of anyone that needs me to come rescue thier pup! I would promise to spoil them rotten!!! congrats on the new pup Scot! he is adorable!

Her name is Macy and she's 10 weeks old. I'm still saying "Come here boy". We always had boy dogs when I was a kid.

Offthegrid - 2009-03-17 1:33 PM second on the crate training ... especially because it's part Lab. If you doubt me on whether it's a good idea to crate train a puppy from the get-go, go read "Marley & Me."

I would never doubt you.:-) I do need to pick up that book. I just went home at lunch to let her out and she's ripped up the a towel and a doggy cushion that we had in her crate. Her little teeth are sharp.

that is expensive for internet!? most hotels give you free wifi! how RUDE!  but thanks for the update....

great job on your hm! any improvements are great! believe you me! so congrats girl! KIU!

maybe she should have thought of that before she lashed out at you on the mornings you were up before her! just a sign of whats to come if you move in with her! sounds like a time bomb...just waiting to go POP! sorry that she is being like this on top of all the other crud you are going thru! LIFE JUST ISNT FAIR SOMETIMES! hang in there! I will be your long distance cycling buddy! HUGS SUSIE! you can and will get thru this!

SPRING STARTS FRIDAY! hoping that California got the memo! ready for some nice bike riding weather and running weather!

ok - ok swimming too!

can you PPPPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEE rub off on me??? I want to feel that missing swimming thingy? cant say I have ever felt that way!!

If I buy it, the bar tape will be the first thing to go. I'd replace it with solid red.

One of my bikes is tricked out in red , but I've been on a blue kick lately (since pictured it also has a blue saddlebag and a blue and white saddle). I like that this bike brings them both together. BTW, I may have to sell the red bike to appease the "gods" and make this purchase feasible.

Hi guys...I finally got caught up...looks like we have a FEW of you who are not checking in....YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! no names today...but in a few days there may be names behind that no checking in list!

as for you who are checking in! great job!

glad to have you back Yvonne,

Amy M from Indiana emailed me and she will be back really REALLY soon and is brining a few new teammates that got left behind in her other mentor group...so again we may be growing.....sorry to not ask you guys for approval but I hate to think of a few lone people with little or no leadership and no AMAZING teamies like you! soooo with that said I invited them to join us! ]

Scot...Macy is adorable! start her running soon...I have a lab and she loves to run...but not always forward! so it is a pain to take her...she likes to sniff here, run there and because I got her at 7months of age I could not train her and break her bad habits....sux cuz my dog before ran every step as far as I would....and loved having the company on some of those trails in the woods! have fun with yours...she looks like she will do fine!!

Nicole, how is the ankle today? hoping it is healing well! I got a new battery for the Polar watch...now I need to play with it and figure it out...may be a good day for a little run! although I hear the pool calling me! haha thanks for the watch! looking forward to using it!

Dan, I am with you when it comes to wanting spring here! sounds like you are getting some great training rides in! just wait til you race on those non-windy days...you are going to FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY~ tap tap tap....still waiting on photos! cant be that windy!? haha

Susie, sounds like you had a good chat with your lawyer...YIKES is right on the down payment! but you gotta do it! time to get Susie to her new and improved life! Did you ever find any pants at the stores....pm me with your size! I have piles of clothes that I was dontating...may be able to find you something....so glad you are still droppping weight and even in the midst of these bad times!  I am sooo proud of you for not binge eating thru any of this! YOU KEEP IT UP SISTER! continue to work out and soon all this will be so far behind you that you will not even remember .....what is his name????

Trish...what were you doing in Reno? and who would charge $15 for 15 min of internet time...we pay that a month! congrats on your half mary race! way to improve your times! then to bike to work today! YOU ARE A STUD-ETTE! keep it up!

Lyssa....you have new running shoes! are they fast???? and have you kicked a new neighbors a$$ with them yet? the new one that just moved in that has such a lovely background (NOT!!!!). glad you are getting some time with your hubby and were able to finally celebrate your anniversary! have a great day! and still really toying with the idea of heading your way...when is the latest you will need to know so that we can book that cabin? I am paying...no way I would come if you think you are paying for this cabin!! NO WAY! let me know.....

Julie H...sux that you have been soooo sick...you are usually all over the thread...not much said round here with out ya! hurry back! but feel better first!!

hope you all are doing GGGGREAT!! have a fabulous week~ no inspires...going back to bed! will check in with ya'll tomorrow...

good hearing from you...I know that things are crazy for you and we appreciate you taking the time to stop by and say hi! I am much happier that you are training then spending your time talking about it! so kudos to you Nalani! and you may want to grab  a few bottles of wine...cuz we have a very active and chatty group! lots of good reading! hope things settle soon for you! keep up the training!

that is nice! good luck! look forward to hopefully (if things work out and you buy it of course) seeing pics of you on it! and hearing all the new fast stories!!! how did you come across it? was it listed locally?

If your ankle is feeling pretty good, I would start up right away. Go easy though and build up...I think you indicated that you have already been doing some flexibility stuff-rocking forward and back and side to side. Work on some balance bits too. You might also want to adjust it so it is not quite as steep until the ankles get a bit stronger.

Really neat to see that you have a Fitter product! They are actually based in Calgary. One of the kids is even in my class! (I got a gift card for Christmas- haven't decided what to get yet! )

Susie, time to get out- the current roomie does not seem to have it together. It's one thing if she is doing you a huge favour and letting you stay there free but if rent is being split or she is depending on you then the place is just as much yours as it is hers and she needs to be more flexible. As Julie said, tell her that you value your friendship but unfortunately your schedules just aren't working out. Don't let her guilt you in to staying! It is time for you to do what is right for YOU!

Take good care- <Hugs>

Congrats on the new PR for your HM, Trish! Hope it was fun!
