Re: B&M Monday
Oh well, it needed to happen eventually.
I have multiple today:
New dark wash jeans + white leather seats = Fail.
Annoying country station still on work radio/phone.
I think my dog broke my big toe. He wanted to get outside to chase a squirrel and he stepped on my foot with all of his excited weight. Today is a run day, no good.
Not really a B&M, but I had TK still bookmarked at work and I glanced at the weekend posts.....wow, just wow.
Agreed. There was one that just re-affirmed my need to vacate the board. I hope this board catches on with the OMH's.
Obama announced he will run in 2012. That is not my actual complaint but it just seems like the last election just ended and now we get to start with it again with the TV commercials, etc. I was addressing STD's on his inauguration day.
Can I just say that I love that TN has spell check?
I bought 2 boxes of strawberry's Thursday at Sprouts and we had to throw them away yesterday when I went to use them because they were already gross and moldy. I just can't win unless I wash and cut them immediately after getting them.
I agree about strawberries. They go bad so fast. I love them, but I don't want to eat nothing but strawberries right after I buy them. But, if I don't eat them, they go bad. Glad to see you here shortgirl.
Can I also B&M that it took forever to get to silver on TK and now I'm starting all over again.
Shortgirl - I agree about elections. I'm not looking forward to all the campaigning, at all. For the last two elections I started watching the Disney Channel (no lie) because I got so sick of hearing about it.
I want some strawberries now. Yum.
Joanne - A lot of different things, but mostly for me it is just tiresome hearing the same things over and over and over.
Hi Joanne! ::waves::
The Disney channel Tiffany? Haha. I may have to try that. It helps that we rarely watch any show in real time, so we always fast forward through the commercials.
I hope this moving to TN works and that more people come out and help make it more active. I have to say I might have had a slight addiction to TK.
Lacey - That's true, I actually didn't have DVR for the last election so that will help. ;-)
I too was addicted to TK. I'm sure I sound totally lame but its weird not to go there this morning.
I have the same problem with strawberries. I want to buy them but I can't eat them fast enough to keep them from going bad, watermelon is the same way.
This isn't really a B&M, but I need a sounding board.
I have been running with a friend for the past couple of months, it's been fine but we are at way different fitness levels (like I have 80 pounds more to lose and she is now at her goal weight.) We were out of town this weekend and I enjoyed running so much more without having to worry about where she was and not having the pressure of trying to pick up my pace. I want to tell her I don't think I want to run together anymore but I know she is going to take it badly because she doesn't have the motivation to run by herself.
I know she is an adult and I shouldn't have to be responsible for her running or not, but she is my friend and you know how awkward these things can be. I tried talking to DH about this last night, but he gave me a guy answer of just starting running without her, she'll get the hint. What do you girls think?
And yes, I know I am totally spineless sounding, but I really hate things like this.
ETA: Totally TK lurked this morning too.
Leslie,
Darkwash jeans totally rubbed off all over a little Dooney and Burke messenger I had along with two other bags. Not happy.
I sometimes manage to buy produce in boxes that will be good for two weeks and sometimes, it's bad within three days. I think it's a problem with the fruit being in the boxes. No solution for the strawberry situation, sorry.
I did spend some time over on TK on the weekend and I really can't believe that a girl went ahead with planning her wedding while her guy was unemployed.
I got to sleep in since I didn't have my early class this morning but Bill turned on the TV to Law and Order: Criminal Intent and I was so hooked I almost called in sick so that I could watch the marathon. That's the reason that I don't turn on the TV in the mornings any more.
Re: Running
Sounds like me and DH. I finally told him if he wants me to run with him he just needs to go ahead of me and stop worrying about where I am.
If she reaallly wants to run with you still just let her know your keeping your own pace and you will meet her back at the car (or wherever you end). She will just have to wait if she is finishing faster.
Yes, it does, especially the idea of instead of not running together at all, running at the same time/place just not the same pace. I was overthinking it, this didn't occur to me at all, haha.
Also - lurkers - you have to be out there because this post has over 70 views - B&M Monday means that you can B!tch and Moan about anything you want. Join in.
My sister and her family (husband, one child) are moving in with us this weekend until their new house is finished in June. On one hand, I am very excited and on the other hand, I am mentally preparing!
Not really a B&M, more of an observation. As a lurker, even I was getting tired head from The Knot. I am glad you girls moved over here and excited to look at posts/talk about other things than venues, dresses, IL's and DJ's! I know I have been an OMH for a while, but, surely, I am not the only one!
ah! I'm the same boat! We were doing c25k together and it was good at first, but her progress took off more than mine did. I'm still struggling at going 20 min straight, but she is running 3 miles whenever she runs alone. I sometimes feel I'm holding her back.
Have you thought about splitting the time? I think I may just run more myself and maybe get with her maybe once a week.
Me too! I know this has been unsuccessfully tried in the past, but I'm hoping we can keep it up and going this time.
I think we as a group may be a little more stubborn.
I hope we can keep it up, too. I know it will be pretty slow at first, but hopefully we will all just keep posting until it becomes really active. Try not to get discouraged.
ugh... my B&M is that my fast track class started. I'll be glad when its over, but I hate it when its going on!
But, I am really glad some of the girls from TK moved over here. I'm mostly a lurker, but hoping to become more active on this board.
We are doing C25k too and it's the exact same story! I actually love the idea of splitting time it's a good compromise. I tend to only get the running euphoria when I can run alone and focus on my stride, the music and my breathing. The bad thing is that she says she won't run if we don't run together, no motivation - I don't want her to stop, so I feel obligated to stick together. I thought about maybe sucking it up until the program is over then parting ways, but we're only in week 5!
Hey - In one day we picked up someone new to posting and got someone else comfortable with posting more - we are making progress!
Hopefully, we'll see some old familiar faces.
Week 5 Day 3 is daunting to look at. But I completely surprised myself when I finished it. Sadly right after that came the wedding and I was super busy, which not as much working out time. So I feel alittle stuck on it. Hopefully soon I can break through it!
Good luck this week!!!
Ok, Ok. You guys made me feel bad. So, I'm here.
If you have to ask who I am=big fat fail.
I definitely won't be over here as much as I was on TK. It's time to break away. Plus, I was getting distracted. I would be on TK when I really needed to be doing other things.
I just skimmed over B&M but whoever said they were getting tired of talking about venues and DJ's and such-Y-E-S. Agreed. I mainly stayed over there for the girls that had been there a while that I knew and had formed friendships with.
