Hello?

Anyone around?  ;-)

How is everyone?  Anything exciting going on?  Anyone up for that belated GTG to celebrate RN's birthday? 

Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

Re: Hello?

  • I was just thinking the same thing, Duff! It's been quiet around these parts!

     I'm down for whatever!

  • I'm here, but on my DH's computer, because mine is at the computer doctor  :(  They think the video card died...

    Have you recovered from your post-race flu?

    You guys should do a GTG!  I'm not sure if I'll make it, I told DH that our drive down to Abq on Halloween was probably my last one before I have the baby.

  • I was just coming on the Boards to say that we need to do a GTG really soon! My homesickness is getting worse as the days pass. I've been having dreams/nightmares for the past 3 nights that moving to NM was just a dream and that I am getting together with my BFFs. Then I wake up and start crying b/c I miss my friends so much. I'm lame. I know. 

    But I am down for pretty much whatever. My next couple days off are:

    Nov: 12, 13, 17, 21, then Dec 4, 8, 9, 10 

  • It's not lame!  I can do the 12 or 13 right after work or the 21 whenever (pretty sure the whole day is open, just gotta check my work calendar tomorrow since that's the one I keep updated).  The 17 would be pretty hard for me since I help out w/my friend's beginners running group on Tues evenings.

  • Hey Duff!  Did you cut your hair?  It looks good!!

    I wish I could make it to the GTG, but I won't be able to make it.  Have fun!!
     

  • I can definitely do the 12th or 13th after work as well. RN, does that work for you? We can have a belated Bday celebration and hopefully help you a little tiny bit with the homesickness. I definitely have it too, so I understand!

    Let us know!!

    I've had this Pixie cut thing going for a little over a year now, but I'm over it.  I love it...love that it takes me 10 mins to get it done in the morning, but I'm bored with it.  I'm going to start growing it out now.  Hopefully it won't look like trash for my sister's wedding in July.  It grows so slow when I want it long.  Thanks though!

  • I can do Nov 12th or 13th.  Although I don't get into ABQ until 6pm because of the train.  I need to check my work calendar tomorrow - I have some public meetings I may need to attend.

    RN, just hang in there.  You did move across the whole country.  Your body and mind are probably still in revolt.  And drying out because of no humidity.

    Duff- how did teh race go?  It looks like you finished!

  • I finished.  It was slower than Denver last year (6:16 and some change) but I'm pretty happy with it.  I ran more than I did in Denver and my pace was consistent.  I had some injuries flare up and it looks like I may have had the beginnings of H1N1 during the race (not 100% sure b/c I didn't have symptoms until we were almost home the next day).  I'm feeling tons better now, just pretty wiped out by the end of the day.

  • I'm not able to do the 12th or 13th - we are going out tof town.  If you do next week, I should be able to go.  If you do GTG this week - have a great time and I will try to make it to the next one!
  • I can do something Thursday. They are putting me on the schedule for Friday. 
  • Ok, so should we plan for tomorrow (Thurs) after 6 so Flame can make it?  I'll be on email all day - val951 @msn .com

    Any suggestions as to where?  Flame, you ride into downtown, right?  Should we meet up down there?

    If this doesn't work out for everyone, RN, I can still GTG up near our neck of the woods for some coffee or something.

  • I am definitely in if everyone else is!

    I'm on email today too laura.valdo@yahoo.com- let me know what the plan is! Downtown works great for me, but pretty much anywhere does ;)

  • Hi guys. How is everyone doing? I HATE to do this.. but I don't think tonight will be good either. DH is very sick. I think I may end up having to take him to the Emergency Room. I'm trying to break his fever, but its not getting much better. I fear it might be H1N1. I will keep you updated. In the mean time I have next tuesday and thursday off. And I get off early monday and wednesday so would be able to do something in the evening. 
  • Yikes, poor guy!  H1N1 isn't any fun...I just got over it.  I've been feeling better since Saturday, but I'm still wiped out by 3ish.  It's the first time in years I've been going to bed around 9PM!  I hope he starts feeling better and is able to get the Tamiflu stuff...I swear, that stuff saved my life last week!

    Tuesdays are really hard for me - my running group meets and I've blown them off for the past month, so I really need to go to next Tuesday's run.  I can do any of the other days though.

    Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

  • Oh no! I hope he feels better soon! Yikes!

    Next week Monday or Weds evenings would work for me too.

    Let us know how your H is doing, RN!

  • If y'all dont mind me in my scrubs... lets plan for Monday evening. I I should be available after 530. 
  • I'm good for Monday.  I forgot to log in ad see if we were on for today until just now.

    Bad, bad, bad flame!

  • Flame, you're in time out!  ;-)

    Rock the scrubs!  No one will mind!  I'm assuming we'll all be in the downtown/Nob Hill area since RN and I will be just getting off work and everyone else who's going lives down there?  Any suggestions on a place? 

    Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

  • downtown/Nob Hill sounds great for me.

     Are we thinking coffee or drinks or what? I didn't want to be presumptious :)

    And I'm the newbie, so I don't know many places, but I do know coffee shops and bars. Cause that's how I roll.

    Wedding Countdown Ticker
  • Ok, you're talking to the girl who came home and took a shot of vodka before she could check her exam score.  :)

    I can go for either.  I also just realized that Monday is my flex day, but I don't mind heading towards downtown/nob hill....just an FYI in case I get caught in traffic.

  • Duff - Can I come out of my time-out yet.

    I'm good for coffee or grinks.  With my month so far, alcohol is more appropriate.  Plus we need to celebrate Duff's CPA ascendance.

    I am pretty bad on downtown/Nob Hill bars.  I know food and tea/espresso. I get into the train station about 5:35pm.  SO figure it may take a few minutes to catch a bus or walk depending on where we go.

  • ::sigh::  Just b/c I'm in a good mood, you can get out of time out.  ;-)

    There's Marble Brewery on 1st and Marble - ish...I can send out a mapquest map.  There's also Gold Street Cafe (3rd and Gold), Maloney's (4th and Central but parking may be an issue for anyone who's driving...not sure what it's like b/c I've just been parking at work), Slate Street Cafe (don't even ask me where this is right now but I know they have a wine bar), Chama River (1st and Central).

    In Nob Hill we have Gecko's, Two Fools, Kelly's (beer and wine only), Monte Vista Fire Station...I'm sure I'm missing a lot more.

  • LOL perhaps we should start a new thread for this! I would love Gecko's or Two Fools cause I haven't been there yet....but I can totally do downtown too!
