B&M Monday
I have a few but I'll do one.
If you are not a pleasant person in a group then why would I want to hang out with you alone? I'm not going to put myself in a position to be criticized and teased if I don't want to. If you act like that then don't be surprised when I don't call or come by any longer.

Re: B&amp;M Monday
I have been on a no exercise hold since last Wednesday and will be until this Wednesday. I feel blah and really want to work out!
Dana - Is there someone you can talk to about getting the resources you need? Regarding the people, there isn't much you can do there but ignore them, but if you could at least get the tools you need that would improve it.
Crystal - I hate Bactrim too.
I had a busy, but great weekend. Friday-Sunday was pretty much non-stop for me. So today I'm totally dragging and didn't want to get up. I need some coffee really bad and we're out. I'm hoping another coworker bought some this weekend.
I feel ya. After BABC, we went straight to my cousin/aunt's joint b-day party. I woke up on Sunday morning and was overwhelmed by my messy house! I stopped by Starbucks this morning since the woman who usually deals with the coffee here is on vacation.
No B&M here... we had the rare weekend off, and really enjoyed it. This week I'll be spending lots of time just with Dot, because Mack is the rec director for our church's VBS and Jack is enrolled. The peace & quiet is pretty nice!
Oh... I do have one, though. Getting off birth control CONTINUES to suck. Doctors should warn you when you get on Depo at age 15, "Hey, in 10 years, getting off this shot is going to make you want to die. Just FYI."
Funny, we had a b-day dinner too Saturday night. I was falling asleep on them around 10:30pm and that's super early for me.
I don't have much to complain about, especially since "Ocean's 13" is on right now.
However, I was talking to Bill last night after his phone call with his parents and I was wondering what you ladies thought about this. I was a little horrified but some of you have a different perspective than I do. They are going to San Diego for a DW this Thursday and next Monday they will be leaving for Hawaii (since they were half way there, they might as well go the rest of the way, right?). Bill said that his parents discovered that, not only are they on the same flight as the newlyweds, but they're staying in the same hotel as them too. My FIL has apparently joked about inviting them down to breakfast and this is the same man who took a golf club to an engagement party and said that the future bride could take some husband training lessons from Elin (Tiger's ex). I told Bill that, if we were going to a wedding like this and then on a vacation afterwards and discovered that the bride and groom were doing the exact same thing, we would be changing our plans or at the very least our hotel.
Leslie - I understand but mine is all my own motivation, I havent done any workout in a week but not because I cant.
I spent the entire weekend paying for the carwash on Friday. I have never felt pain in so many areas, I couldnt turn my neck, my feet had blisters, my arms were bruised and my abs and legs just hurt. I slept most of my weekend away because I was too miserable to be awake. I would do it all over again though, very proud of what we accomplished.
I wouldn't change my hotel, just because I wouldn't want to deal with the hassle, and I'd probably picked the hotel for a reason... I would, however, let the newlyweds know I'd be there, and let them know that we'd be staying out of their way - and then I'd do just that. Nobody wants to go on a honeymoon and then try to make time for other people!
I feel you. Until a few months ago I had been on the pill for 13 years straight. I feel great now but the first 60ish days were terrible.
We had a garage sale this weekend and I'm AMAZED at the amount of things that were just stolen. There were sooo many people there and it was just 2 of us working it. I hate people that steal.
On an unrelated note, have you seen the Grand Priairie shooting story? They posted the Court Order when the victim had a restraining order on the shooter (her husband). That poor woman lived in a state of fear for several years... it broke my heart.

Especially some of their parents oldest and dearest friends. I guess my family always believed in giving others room after they got married, etc. His parents really don't seem to fall into that camp. Especially since he got calls for several days after we got married after a certain time in the evening.
Did you end up meeting your goal?
It seems that the fewer helpers you have, it's easier for people like that to distract you so that someone in their camp could steal something.
It really was sad what happened at the skating rink. I just don't understand the mind of someone like that. Just so very sad.
Yes we did, we blew it out of the water. The goal for my team was 280 and we raised $650.
Ditto. Just because they coincidentally had the same idea doesn't mean his parents need to change theirs. I wouldn't.
Now, if they somehow knew about it and did this on purpose...that's just sick.
We also had a non-stop weekend. After BABC on Saturday, I went home and took an hour nap. Haha - I must be getting old. It was a busy weekend, but a fun weekend. Now back to a hectic work week.
Brianna - that's very sad!
I don't think I would change my plans because I would be respectful of their honeymoon. Unless it's a teeny tiny hotel, you probably won't run into them and if I did, I wouldn't be all up in their business. I do think I would request a different floor if I found out we were on the same one. Everyone is different- there are some people that do family honeymoons. We didn't do that but we did have plans to meet up with someone from NY that I know for a bit; it didn't work out but DH was okay with it and the friend really didn't want to intrude but she really wanted to see us.
Does the bride and groom know they have the same flight and hotel? I would feel a bit stalked if I saw them on the flight, then I would be even more weirded out if I ran into them at the hotel.
Oh well. Maybe I can make her day a little better.
And I'm exhausted. H and I got into an argument last night over something stupid, so I went to bed about an hour and half past when I should have, which normally wouldn't matter but I had a test this morning. Being tired on test morning sucks. Luckily we will know our grades by the end of the day.
I personally wouldn't change my plans either. Unless I found out they wouldn't like it.
Brianna - I thought this was just sick. Those poor kids are scarred for life! Did you hear about the shooting in Norway? My sister is suppose to move there in a few weeks and now I'm a little worried. That jerk targeted youth kids! What's wrong with people?

I would probably do this as well, let them know and then stay out of their way.
Brianna - People that steal suck.
I heard about that shooting on the news and that was really so sad. They were reading from some of the legal/court docs and talking about how he would hit her, and put a pillow over her head and pull out the gun. Just so very sad.
Bio Good Times
It's not even 10 and I already have a headache
My knees are hurting but not as bad as the other week. Thankfully most of the pain has made it's way north and it's in my thighs now.
I had DH help me clean the fridge out yesterday and he ended up throwing out my strawberries for my GM out. He offered to pick them out, LOL. I said no.
Did you see the link I posted? The last couple pages is her account of everything that he did to her. It is so sad.

They are discussing "Signs you may be getting old" on the radio. So far they have only discussed falling asleep in front of the TV and waking up with a stiff body.
HAH! Well then I'm old.
I have another B&M that's not even really for me.
WHY do people not understand that when you say, "Yes, I will be your bridesmaid", that entails something other than just showing up in a pretty dress on the big day? I'm in a wedding next April, and I'm the only bridesmaid for my sweet friend who doesn't completely suck. Already. I shudder to think what crap is going to come up as the big day gets closer. It just makes my heart hurt for my friend.
All that to say, I'm working on a blog post for next week entitled, "How to Be the World's Best Bridesmaid". I've already gotten some "tips" from FB friends and vendors about it, so it should be a good one. I'm hoping (slim, but hoping) that the other girls in my friend's wedding will read it and straighten up. Otherwise I might call a bride-less meeting and get all "Come to Jesus" on them.
Knowing them, I don't think so, although they'll probably say something to the newlyweds at one of the wedding events some time this weekend. They decided to do this about two-three weeks ago so it's more of a spur of the moment thing.
A honeymoon with your family is one thing. It's an entirely different thing if friends of the family are showing up at the same places you are. And I'd still pick a different hotel. I've run into people I know at huge cities (NYC) more so than at very small towns (on little TX highways).
