    TGIF Chat!

    While I'm not complaining, Friday came quickly for me.  

    I finally made it to the gym this morning.  6am is a good time to go.  Only a couple other ladies there (older than I).  By the time I left at just about 7am, it was filling up significantly.   I had the free weight room all to myself which was nice.  I find usually men inhabit the free weights / bench press areas and while I'll workout when they are there - it's more comfortable alone or with other women :)

    Hopefully, I can get my diet back on track too.  Working out is great, but if my diet sucks I'm not going to drop any of this flub!

    I hope you all have a wonderful Friday. I hope Lisa made it to her destination and is enjoying her vacation!

    Wow, Sharon!  You go girl!

    This week seemed incredibly long to me until we passed Wed, then it went into fast forward.  Regardless, I'm very glad that it's almost over.  Need a couple days to catch up with myself.

    Wishing everyone a "fast" Friday!

    I feel a little bloated today. Okay, maybe a lot bloated. I wish this whole female thing would just go away - 33 years is enough already.

    Right there with you Tina. Earlier this week I hadn't been paying attention to the calendar and woke up looking 3-4 months pregnant and I was like WAAAAAT? Then I remembered and was like "UGH!" hate it. HATE IT. I am ready to leave it behind and grow my moustache already. Tongue Tied

     

    Hey Lisa! TravelParadiseDrinksYes?

    Lol this is why I did the marena thing. I hate the monthly crap. Hate it.

    I could never be a 6 am gym bunny. Kudos to you for making it. I like to go at night around 7 or 8 when it is nice and quiet, then I am relaxed for the rest of the night. Granted I haven't been in 2 months. I really need to go.

    I just got an email from my old boss saying one of our former coworkers dad died on thurs. I am in shock. I was just talking to him on wed and asked how his dad was doing. He said he was doing fine, still getting around, just slow. Then he went into detail about their living situation with his dad and all that. This must have been such a shock for him. I will def be going to the visitation. I feel so bad :(

    I have a bunch of construction inspections to do today which should make for a somewhat relaxing day. The weather is great and the places I need to go are all around where I live. So I have no complaints.

     count me in with the bloated ladies

    Lisa I hope you are enjoying the intense sunshine and sea breezes!

    I am the biggest wimp in the world when it comes to Bugsy - he is working me over guilt-wise for 'resting' him. Must.be.strong.

    It was good to have a normal morning today - meaning no mom - love her to bits but was in need of getting into our routine

    Sadly DH isn't going away this Sunday - its next Sunday Sad

    A bit more humid today - we've been waking up to low 50's until this morning when it was 67* - the overnight temps always give away how humid it is!

    Julie, I can't do extra hormones due to my chronic depression. It's not a good combo.

    I never believed it when women told me that having a hysterectomy was the best thing to happen to them but it's true. No more mood or weight fluctuations and thankfully, no mustache either Big Smile.

    I have to drop my SUV off for an oil change at 7:45, so even tho it's my day off, I'm up and at 'em early. This SUV uses synthetic oil and only needs to be changed every 10K miles. Nice!

    The dealership is right by TJs and after all the talk yesterday, I'm thinking of stopping by. I always go when they open at 8 and it's not so busy. Sundays are especially quiet and you can even buy the 2 buck chuck here on Sunday.

    It's going to be in the high 90s today and for the next several days. My biggest complaint is having to run the AC so much. I got the latest bill the other day and it was over $300. We've never had a bill that high, so I'm not sure what we're doing different. Hmm

    You can do it!  I know it's hard and especially with a dog like Bugs. 

    I love my mustache.  lol  It's a shame that women have to spend years dealing with Aunt Flo and all her lovely gifts only to have to deal with the next phase. 

    The tile turned out really nice.  We still have to get all the grout film off but I'm super happy with it.  :)  Gabby is so thrilled that her dog bed (the couch) is back inside where it belongs. lol

    I'm looking forward to mine. I told hubs he better deal with it because I am not shaving it and any waxing that is done is simply going to be done to get a cool handlebar going. He is resolved to live with it. Just as I live with areas of his body lacking hair or overabundant with hair. That's love.

    LOL, you "young" ladies are crackin me up today.   I could wait til the monthly thing was over but I will say the "mustache" is not a good thing and that unfornately is not all you have to deal with either.    IMHO, us women should get at least a 10year break between Aunt Flo and Granny Florence, lol.

    We have rain and 70's today...yea!  The front is kickin everyone butt tho...me Fibro, a younger co-worker psoratic arthritis, another co-worker arthritis  we are really somthin today,

    Lisa hope you are having a good time, meet you at the Tiki bar later.  Deb what should we have for todays special, make it strong and yummy please.

    Hehe!  Brings back fond (and some not so fond) memories of my younger days!!!  It was a favorite among us disco divas doing happy hour in the Late seventies Wink  It was 1/2 price between 5 and 7 you could get a pretty good buzz for a couple of bucks and healthy tip to the waitress!! LOL.

     Umm I already have a mustache that I erm just shave off (because I tried waxing it once and yowsers and I wax my brown regularly!).  Does this mean when I'm older I'll end up growing a full beard?!  I also have these 7 pesky chin hairs that I pluck out lol.

     Early morning is the only time the gym works for me.  Right after work is out because I need to be home form Ari and Moki.  If I work out too late, I can't get to sleep!  Working out wakes me up apparently.  It was NOT easy to get up earlier than I usually do.  I hoping over time, I'll get used to going to bed a bit earlier and getting up a bit earlier. It's really only 30 minutes earlier I have to get up.  I can change into my gym clothes and throw a bandana over my bedhead (short hair creates some very interesting bed head lol) in no time flat.
