Mad Mutant Manatee Mentors 4--CLOSED (Page 99)

I may have either left it out of the birthday discussion or buried it among more titillating conversation

so now I'll be the age that USAT says i am

I dated a 36 year old cop when I was 18. He had a son 2 years younger than I was

My 67 year old mother is married to a man the same age as DH (52). It was way more interesting when they started dating when he was 29 and she was 44

Oooooooooh! Is that how you got into law enforcement? 

Musta been, and then stayed in to do background checks on Mom's BFs.

I do love age-capades!

Funnily enough just tonight I was talking about various boyfriends who have been besotted with my mom. I think I mentioned the one where I was 18-19, he was 38 (yes a professor just not MY professor at the time) and Mutti was 62 going on 40. He STILL sends her a birthday card and Mother's Day card every single year! (Not me. Just her).

I have THE WORST way-over-nicotined (double shisha) too-smoky club gazillion-Turkish-coffees belly-dancing all-night belly-laughing headache. This is definitely going to result in a bad hangover.

So worth it

sounds like a swim day to me...

Ahhh shisha!!! I really miss that stuff. It kind of went away when they banned smoking in the bars here in Seattle because it was really difficult to get around the law.

We used to have a hookah but the risk of some mildly buzzed and clumsy person knocking the hot coal onto our hardwood floors is an 11 on the scale. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Oh wait! Tomorrow is already today here so

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TJ!!!!!

Hold up, did you call me devastatingly handsome

Kind of more the devastating part, but yes, sure.

I mean, now that I can't call you fat and slow anymore ...

HEY EVERYBODY SALTY GOT HIGHEST POSSIBLE ON HER WORK REVIEW

Oh, I see now. You were calling me "not cool"

oh, and Happy Birthday!!

Ugh, are you familiar with the 9 box?

It's actually a little disgusting being ranked as a little dot on a graph, but yeah. Gotta love the corporate world!

So I was cruising along today on the bike trail.  In aero, holding steady at 20 mph.  I typically pass people and don't get passed.  I hear a buzzing sound behind me, and think, "Am I getting passed? That means..." And then there it was.  A guy on a tri bike cruising at 23 mph (I know because I tailed him to see how fast he was going).  Hafta say it was cool to see another tri person out and about.

There's the goal!  Need to work on the legs and get those few extra mph.

GO RACING POD-MATES!!!  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TJ!!!

I'm late to the party, but here it is:

Happy Birthday TJ!!!! May the years in your life be many, but the life in your years be AWESOME!!!!!

Hi everyone. Haven't been on in a while, for various reasons. Am getting quite nervous about my first tri, which is fast approaching. Only 2 weeks to go!!!

I haven't done any fitness for 2 weeks, and have just started running again. Taking it easy over the next 2 weeks to ease myself back in without doing any damage. I had the 2 week hiatus from fitness due to doing an impromptu drunken marathon (see my log for the 20th of April to get what I mean) and since then have been super busy decorating the house, planting the fruit and veg, and other famly stuff.

I've been keeping up with the group on a daily basis, but for some reason I find it difficult to find something to post about. I have days/weeks like that, where I become  introverted and can become quite depressed. Might be to do with the lack of endo's from no exercise .

I have noticed the other thread started, and will be popping in soon if that's okay.

Happy  Birthday TJ (was it yesterday or today?) and good luck to all the racers out there this weekend.

P.S. Where's Chad, Jonathon AK and Froggy? Jonathon should be starting his road trip pretty soon shouldn't he?

On another note, I thought I'd share a little "blonde moment" I had whilst decorating to give you a chuckle.

You probably have paint in the states that is similar to the paint we have in the UK. There is a white paint that you can buy that is pink when it is wet, but turns white when it dries (so that you can see where you have painted already). So, I started painting the living room ceiling with an old  tub of this paint that was in the shed. Spent a good few hours cutting in all around the coving and ceiling roses. Only to find out that when the paint dried, I had actually painted using pink paint. Turned out it was just pink paint in an old pot. Took another 4 coats to stop the pink from showing through     #barbaracartlandthemedlivingroom

I love that you are lurking anyway. And I sure feel you on that--more than a Manatee or two have seen me go through those times.

{MELON PRESS} to my pinkified Dazzers. Hey, I live in a pink house with red doors ...
