Re: Anyone want to...
I am dying!!!
Summer, that was awesome!
It should be known that I was an only child for seven and a half years and I do not share well with others.
Our rollie pollie problem is getting worse. I've killed at least 10-12 this morning since I've been up, and I've only been up for 2 hours.
I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM!
And yes. I was yelling.
Umm...Sure?
Really didn't know I was going to invoke such a roller-coaster of emotions in some people today.
It's okay, I too like to get shouty about rollie pollies on the internet. It's therapeutic. :P
More pregnant symptoms. First they're crying, then they're laughing, then they're eating all the nachos. Chaos.
I would drive to southlake. I would drive to just about anywhere in the DFW area.
It did make me feel slightly better. Those letters in all caps can be a powerful tool.
Summer, this is what I found out about rollie pollies. They could also be called woodlice, but don't be scared of that name. They don't bite, infest your food, or weave a web (but I bet you already knew all that).
According to The Google, you should ask your apt to spray and then do the following:
Putting some powder, like baby powder with talc, or talcum or foot powder where they are coming in will dry them out. The bugs are around the foundation of the building. And under the building.
Some boric acid powder, made to kill roaches, will kill them and other bugs.
Or you can sweep them up and tie them up and seal them up in a plastic bag.
Like I said, I'm officially bored.
I'm cracking up at this board today!
Sara: I would definitely go to Southlake for a G2G. Any of the FTW girls could ride with me if that would be easier too.
Renee: That is really sweet!
Lacey: I'm jealous!! I used to love Incubus back in the day!
Brianna: DH is the same way with surprises. He just cannot wait LOL.
Dana: **fingers crossed**
You guys are killing me about the rollie pollies! I can't believe you kill them.
I let them crawl on my hand and then I put them outside. I won't let Ben kill them in my presence (although I'm sure he does it when I'm not around).
Is that weird?
No Southlake G2G for me. I won't even meet everyone there before the wedding tomorrow. I get lost very easily.
With All the Trimmings
Just do it!
Thanks Renee!
And Stephie,
You would kill them if every time you turned a corner or got off the couch, there was another one on the floor!
I also am I roly poly lover!
Tonight Courts is shooting his first wedding! Poor guy, he's so nervous, but we're really prepared so it should all go great.
GPS is your friend.
I feel like you haven't been here in like 10 years. How are things? Any news on NJ?
I added a 1kg baby weight (in addition to my normal weight) to each side of my bar for every Body Pump track last night...and holy cow, can I ever feel it. Who would have thought something that small would make that big of a difference?
Also, I now lift as much as/more than both of my instructors.
I pick them up and go toss them back outside... we've been having a lot inside too. I just can't bear to smoosh them - they're cute, and they'd make too much of a crunch which grosses me out.
Awesome! :-)

DH just told me about that concert last night. He doesn't like them, but knows I do. Hearing their music makes me feel 16 again, since that's when the boy that was my best friend/crush introduced me to them. Awww I miss those innocent days a little bit!
With all this talk about people TTC, I read that and thought "baby weight?, like is she trying to feel what it will be like to be pregnant?"
I promise I'm not that stupid. I had to read that paragraph about 3 times before I finally said "Ohhhhhhhhhh."
Oh wow, I am so impressed. I moved up slightly on chest, squats and back. But on bis and tris I am so wimpy it's embarassing. And I can hardly use any weight at all for lunges and I still can't get through the whole thing. Lunges are just so hard for me for some reason. I see girls lunging 30 lbs. and feel like such a failure.
My only saving grace is that I have good form. Much better than what I see around me. So there's that I guess.

Just do it!
In case it stays slow around here this afternoon:

Sort of like Hyperbole, except a lot more posts about really random stuff and it's a guy.
Summer/Dana - See y'all tonight. Everyone else - TTY on Monday! Have a good weekend!
Yay! See you tonight!
I'm sure your doing great Stephie! I've been doing it 2-3 times per week since November so I have to keep moving up slowly or else it just gets easy.
I too see some horrible, horrible form somtimes. I wince wondering what they are going to feel like the next day.
I know, I feel like I just don't have much to add lately. No news on NJ. They said I'd hear by mid-June, and I haven't, so I'm guessing it's not going to happen. I've recently made a BIG decision to start looking outside libraries, but I don't even know where to start. So I'm going to make an appointment with the career center next week to see what my options are with my background.
P.S. I hope your phantom symptoms are real!
To the website: I have now been useless at work for an hour reading and laughing so hard.
I'm excited to get to meet y'all!
