OL Tuesday
Dear Tuesday,
I really don't like you right now. You make it so hard to go back to work after having a three day weekend! :-/
Dear Weather,
I love you so much! Please stay for a while! You make it so much easier on me when I want to run outside!
Did everyone have a good weekend off?

Re: OL Tuesday
Dear Self,
You should have taken today off because it's going to be difficult.
Exactly what I would have said!!

Dear Julie,
I am sorry today is going to be a rough day, I will definitely keep you in and your family in my thoughts today.

Dear Garmin,
We are going to have a love/hate relationship! I love love love you but you make me want to run outside everyday which just isnt possible with my ankle problems. Tonight is a jump rope and weight night and I am excited to use you as just a HR monitor as well.
Dear Fall,
Like everyone else, I'm excited that you're joining us here in Texas. That said... none of my fall clothes fit. I don't want to buy new clothes because I'm still 10-20 pounds away from my goal size (I don't have a goal weight, just a size I'd like to look and be healthy). Oh, the conundrum!

Dear VitaMix/GM-
I realize you are in Florida right now but I can't wait to make my GM's again. While my morning oatmeal has been nice and I can't really complain and it was probably good to take a break from GM's because I was getting burned out, I can't wait to taste a smooth GM.
Dear guy behind us/lady walking out the store-
No we did not save $113 because of "all of those crazy coupon stuff", I only used two. And the only reason we saved that much and the reason why all sales are final and you cannot return anything is because the store is closing shop
Dear grandma-
No I cannot take your debit card and go buy you wine. You live 2-3 hours away and you are the only one with your debit card!
Dear Grass/Wild Fires,
Stay away. I don't want everything people owned being destroyed and I don't want my husband to have to keep fighting you.

Dear tall boots, leggings and cute long-sleeve top -
Had the temperature been just a liiiiiiittle bit cooler, you would have been ROCKED today.
- YAY!!

Awe. I'm sorry.... I'll be thinking about you today.
Also,
Dear Nesties who were worried about my shoulder last week, which is super sweet of you,
I was saved from having to go to the doctor. Last night at about 2:45 a.m., I woke up because I heard (yes HEARD) a huge popping noise. Lo & behold, that was my shoulder as I rolled over juuuuust right, and it feels fine now. Mack gave me the eyebrow, but that was our deal... I feel better, so no doctor! YAY!
And Julie,
I'm praying for you today!
Dear Nesties,
I get to go visit Becky Fowler today! Yay.
-Me
Dear Julie,
My T&P are with you and your family today.
-Tiff
Edit: T&Ps! Hope you're doing ok.

I wasn't going to do this but now you might sympathize with me
Dear McG-
What do you think about moving the mini sessions to, let's say October or November? They are a little over 2 weeks away and I have not met any of my goals. And they were all my own doing too, I know
Dear Julie-
My T&P's are with you today. (((HUGS)))
Dear Julie,
I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers today.
Bio Good Times
Dear Julie, Hugs for you. And some T&Ps too.
Dear Fall, I love you, thank you for coming.
Dear niece, I can't believe you snuck out and stole your grandma's truck to do so. You are so crazy, and I am so glad you're safe and okay. I hope you learned your lesson when the cops slapped those handcuffs on you and were very very mean.
Dear OMHs, Anyone been to Hibiscus before? We're going to a celebratory dinner for work tonight.
Dear Julie - I said it on FB but T&P for you. I know first hand it doesn't get any easier with time.
Chelsea - Glad you are better!
Weather Girls - For real. Stick around cooler temps!
BL - Get the footpod - it will allow you to run inside and still keep pace and distance without the GPS. I totally feel you on wanting to run outside, I will be Googling outdoor running trails near UTA for Wednesday this week if this weather holds.
My Tuesday B&M - It's long, but it is really bothering me, so I need to get it out:
Yesterday DH was on the phone with my BIL (who is dating my cousin) and at the end of the conversation he mentioned to DH about buying some land near him for a hunting lease. DH said it wasn't in the cards for us right now with me working part time. BIL said "Leslie's Cousin worked two jobs and put herself through school and she made it, Leslie can do the same."
Cousin did not. She worked part time at a restaurant, usually less than 20 hours and her school was paid for by her dad's VA loan, which also gave her a $1000/mo stipend while she was in school. She still doesn't work full time and the whole FB groups posting on your friend's walls has busted her trying to give away her restaurant shifts nearly every day. I found out my cousin has been feeding this bullsh!t not only to my BIL but to my in-laws and it is now the common opinion I am just lazy.
This cousin and I have been friends since childhood and now I feel like I need to just break off the relationship. Which of course is awkward as we see her family all the time and she is dating my BIL. I am just really hurt.
Dear Leslie -
Oh no she didn't!! Have you confronted her about this? I'm a waay too nice person, but there is no way I'd let anyone get away with saying things like that.
-Me
See I wouldn't have hestitated to say something! She maybe your friend/cousin, but she shouldn't be saying things to make you look lazy. What degree did she get if she's still working in the same resturant?
<a href="http://www.thenest.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=HTML&utm_campaign=tickers" title="Home D
It just happened last night, so I haven't done anything. I am too nice too and have let her get away with some transgressions that a lot of people would have jumped her for but I think this one was the last straw. She is lying and causing me problems with my IL's when in six years I have never had any problems at all with them.
Dear Julie,
T&Ps coming your way! I'll be in the same boat next week! I hope you day turns out ok!
-understanding nestie-
Dear weather,
You were amazing this morning! Keep it up!
-over summer-
Chelsea,
Glad your shoulder is feeling better!
-me-
Leslie,
Can you talk to cousin and tell her you know the truth and she will look stupid if she is ever caught it her lies? Sorry she is doing that and sorry your ILs are thinking you are lazy. We all know the truth!
-me-
Dear morning,
You SUCK! I should have just stayed home! Nothing has gone right and I'm super tired from randomly throwing up all night. I'm hoping to leave at noon and get some sleep and hopefully the rest of my day turns around!
-tired, in pain, and grumpy me-
Well A.) what you and DH decide to do is nobody's business. BIL thinks you should be doing something else? He can get over it because it's not his life. B.) I'm with everyone else and I'm glad you'll be talking to her. C.) I'm sorry you are so hurt over this and I hope you get it worked out.
Dear Scale,
Please let something be wrong with you. I don't think I did anything to deserve the number you told me this morning. Well, except for not exercising...
---Lazy Me
Dear DH,
Happy birthday! I can't say it to you in person, because you hate your birthday and that it represents another year, getting older, blah blah blah depressing stuff. I bought you a present that is awesome and now I'm worried that because I wrapped it in b-day paper, you won't even open it. I might have to unwrap it myself and leave it for you to find. I have a feeling you'll find a reason to work late tonight, therefore negating any kind of b-day dinner.
--Your wife who absolutely loves her own b-day
Dear Gas Company,
I don't care if you replace lines or whatever. Just please, turn the gas back on. You shut it off Friday while working, then didn't finish whatever you were doing, and left us without hot water or the use of our stove all.long.weekend. And there wasn't even a number that was staffed during the weekend, so I couldn't even call and complain to anyone.
--Girl who took 3 cold showers this weekend and is just a little bit over it
Dear Angie,
I've never heard of Hibiscus, but when I scrolled down and saw that... I instantly thought "I have a Hibiscus that I brought back from Hawaii in 03' and it's beautiful". LOLOL I, unfortunately, have nothing to add.
~Silly Me
Dear Sarah,
My 4 day weekend was great. I spent a lot of time with DH, family and friends.
How was your weekend?
~Manda
Dear Fires in Magnolia,
Please steer clear of my mom's house. Thanks.
~Worried Me
Dear Julie,
I'm so sorry, I know today is going to be rough. Hugs to you!
Dear Leslie,
My feelings would be hurt, too. I hope you do speak to her. There's no reason for her to be ruining your relationship with ILs.
You are so cute!!
Dear Nesties - This month was not our month as I am sure you could figure out from my post to Lacy. BUT I want to hear no apologies! None! I was sad for 2.5 seconds and then realized that A) I will be starting 10k training next week, which will lead into half marathon training for the Cowtown
I am officially going to Vegas for my birthday and C) I can finish the Spring semester without worry as the absolute earliest I could deliver will be June 2012. I am so stinking excited about all of these things. - Glass half full Leslie
Dear Leslie, I thought about the footpod but since I am running on a treadmill that tracks distance I will just manually log in my distance on the online tracking site to get my weekly mileage and all those goodies. It just give you SO much stuff online when you upload that it gets me super excited. I am beyond pumped to have a HR monitor again!
Also, on the cousin thing, I would say something to her, but I am not nearly as nice as most of you girls. I do not mind confrontation at all when it is needed.
I know! My Garmin has me fired up again about running. The weather just pushed me over the top. I was seriously considering running last night and I had run 3.5 yesterday morning! Haha!
Are you thinking about half training? It's 24 weeks to Cowtown, so I decided to start Bridge to 10k, which is 6 weeks, do some speedwork weeks (maybe 3?) and then move into Hal Higdon's plan, which is 12 weeks.
Dear Nesties,
Happy 4 day week!
Dear Julie,
T&P's with you today. I know it is a hard one.
Dear Angie,
DH and I LOVE Hibiscus! We don't get the opportunity to go much, but love that place for a special night out. They have some fun creative cocktails. The basil gimlet is one of my favorites!
Dear Harry Potter fans,
I decided to reread the series when the 7th movie came out. I couldn't remember a lot of details since I hadn't read them since the 7th book came out a few years back. I've been reading almost non-stop the past few weeks and driving DH crazy since I have not been paying him as much attention. But I finished last night, and it was still as good as I remembered. I heart Harry Potter.

Leslie - I'm glad you have such a positive outlook this month, sounds like you have some exciting things to look forward to in the near future. I agree with everyone else on talking with your cousin, hope that talk goes well!
