A couple of text mesages n' stuff

I noticed my right shin had the swollen place on it this morning (not surprising). I took some ibuprophen & went on to the MAC to cross train. (my ABs wil be sore tomorrow) I was in there almost 2.5 hrs this afternoon. They have a few machines that I didn't notice the first time I was in there. One of which I never did figure out. They also had an exercise class going on, too. I wish Carla had a Sunday afternoon pilates class at our gym.

1 hr 5 mins elliptical (moderately slow)
20 mins bike (real slow)
yoga ball crunches (made them burn!)
About 20 mins of pilates moves (the stretching felt GOOD!)
free weights on my arms & various arm weight machines
A few light leg weights (machines)

Got a text from Patti telling me she'd call me in exactly 2.5 hrs to talk about "Sex & the City". Apparently, June, Patti, & myself can all identify with the "dark" mexico scenes. I promised myself a long time ago...I won't ever allow myself to get to that point again.
Yeah, the movie made me think of a few "interesting frogs" from my past, too.

-Being told, "You are the best friend I've ever had, but....."
-Getting dumped because his son was getting too close to me.
-Being told that I'm too active for him.
-Being told, "Lisa, you aren't going to get me to run!"
-Meeting the racist who had numerous DUIs
-Being met at my car with a bouquet of flowers by an astronaut...ummm, now where is he now?
-Having my office building buzzed by an Apache helicopter pilot who lied a lot & loved Prince way too much!
-Last but not least..."toescurler". Not a bad guy, just not the one.

The storm startled me around 3-4am! I was NOT happy considering Zorro woke me extra early Sat morning. So much for sleeping in... I did go back to bed later for an hour. I left the place exactly how they left it. I could not find the vacuum, but it wasn't bad anyway. When I got home, I found a post it on my desk that says they'll be back tomorrow. I thought they'd be home today. Zorro should be ok by himself one more day. He sure was fiesty & fit to be tied this weekend. I had just washed out his water bowl & filled it up when I found him in the main bathroom with his head in the toilet. He just looked at me when I yelled like "So, what!" I caught him watching me sleep this morning, too. I like cats but I don't remember my dog, Foxxie, ever doing anything so goofy other than shaking her feet off before coming in out of the rain. I raised her so well! :)


Something to look forward to on TV happens in 67 days!!! Can't wait! :)

Text messaged Eddie this morning to say "hey!" He texted back, "See you soon" in NY. Incredibly nice, sweet, & Cool person! Hey, and he loves the GIANTS, too!

My San Antonio Sis sent me pics of the new pond they built. I'm pretty impressed. Now if they can just keep Toby & Eva out of it this summer....ha!

Welcome Jill, the MAC, & more photos from CMM

BIG shout out to Jill! Your blog will be very interesting...so much to tell. We can't wait. :)

I went to the 'boro to get a key from Hannah tonight & figure out how, where, when to feed Zorro. So, we headed off to the MAC afterwards. I'll probably work out there a couple of times while babysitting Mr. Zorro & checking on the house. It's basically a much bigger, nicer version of my gym in Tullahoma. I was the small fish in the big pond tonight. Felt like the new kid at school. ha! I did 1 hr elliptical while talking with Hannah about our June NYC girls ONLY trip. Then I did yoga ball crunches & free weights on my arms. I think I do like their weights better.
They don't have free tanning like we do. :( She pays about $5-7 dollars more a month than I do but I think after she gets married they'll have a better rate.


My Michigan cousin, Patti, partied at the CMM 1/2 like it was 1999 & Prince was on the course with her.... This was her 2nd half. She did Detroit in the Fall. If all my plans fall through, I may head up there for that half or full, who knows... I do know that right now, I'm spending Thanksgiving there, doing the Detroit Turkey Trot 5k, & we are going to see the Titan's vs. Lions Thanksgiving day game. I'm am the PLANNER, baby. :)


Wayne has signed up for Chicago this year.
I hope I can get in on a few long runs with him this summer/fall.
This photo is one of few where he doesn't look like he's having fun.


Terry is bleeding here on his shirt. I'm pointing this out purely to annoy him. ha!
He's currently contemplating his next marathon. I think he has 29 states(+Boston), but possibly 30-32 marathons total, not sure. If you call his cell & you get his voice mail, it says, "This is Terry. I'm probably out running, leave a message...."


What people don't know is that if Chuck had left his watch at home, he would have BQ'd again. Seriously, in nearly every pic he's checking his watch. ha! Did you have to be somewhere? Nice legs, Playah? (hugs to you Chuck!) ha!


Pam is going to try to talk her husband, Tim, into doing the 1/2 with her next year. I thought that was cool that she enjoyed it that much.

Tomorrow, I will stop being the slacker I am this week. I will run!
