enjoy...

Finishing my very wordy, and very lengthy diatribe aka 'internal application' for assistant winemaker position at my work that is due tomorrow.

of course this enjoy is extra enjoyable, cause my computer crashed once in the middle of it the first time - and I lost everything.

so twice as glad to be finished with said doc.

blah, now I can sit here and sweat it out for the next 3 weeks.

enjoy:

delicious juicy gossip and the best part? it accidently getting let out of the bag.

I just got an email that was forwarded from someone else to me - asking me a question.. as I was trying to read back the previous replies to get more info so I could answer, I went to the bottom (long long email of back and forths)

to which the subject was quite different.. and um. quite scandalous. :lipsealed: i love it. it just made my day.

Getting a wonderful deal on a cruise - leaving Saturday morning - to learn yesterday of a fabulous upgrade!!

From stateroom class JJ (deluxe inside cabin)

to C (Superior oceanview) and which happens be a handicapped accessable room - so will be twice as big. I bet it will feel like a suite - and think how big the bathroom will be!! w00t :cool:

Wouldn't they actually make you work if you get that job?

Love4Vino

yeah, but the pay almost makes up for the fact that I'd have to work... and given the shoddy job and few hours the last guy did, I can prolly do a kick ass job - with little to no effort - so the money would be worth it.

This typo in a story about the Westminster Dog Show in today's Pioneer Press. It is in both the print edition and on-line edition.

"A repeat standard poodle, a prize-winning Sealyham terrier and an Australian shepherd also %page_name% F up spots in the final ring.

There were among the 2,627 entries at this year's show, coming in 169 breeds and varieties."

2 more pounds gone! :0)

I officially have 5 more to go - but the more I look at myself in the mirror (and think of swim suit season) the more I think it may be 10...

6 jean sizes, 4 bra sizes (& two cups smaller) - I think I already have disappeared..

the flat stomach still eludes me tho - I have muscles there - it's not that I don't, it's not that I haven't been working on them (through exercise) but there is this stubborn, and persistant layer of fat over them, that seems to be the last to leave. I pretty much have to lose all the fat from everywhere else - before this little bit seems to want to go.

It's maddening. :frown:

I've been averaging about the same the last few months. Not bad considering it's winter and the holidays and all. I have been lax on walking though, gotta get back into that.

I keep struggling with the no pop thing, although I have taken more to drinking tea and coffee at work and home. (Note to self, blueberries are good, blueberry tea is gross).

I like food. You guys are my heros.

Really. I can't do it.
Wed, 02/13/2008 - 1:34 PM Permalink
Love4Vino

like food too - maybe a little more than I should still. (lunch today was brown rice sushi with tuna - yum) I just found alternative ways of enjoying my food. Making it not be things from a package. Doubling or tripling my consumption of fruits and veggies. Cutting my meat portions in half & making them low fat options. Staying away from grease (says the girl with a major love affection for slim jims)

KC - blueberry tea = yuk. I concur. Have you tried the Tazo Brambleberry tho? tastes like fruit pie.

I still like food too. It's probably why I've just been hovering around the same weight the last few months.

I agree though, it's just all a matter of eating differently.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to try that one. Actually I did score some white tea on clearance at target, this mango citrus stuff is excellent (coming from lipton, I would have never guessed they could make good tea).

I know his message is a bit of a detour from the conversation, but... Anyone who can appreciate a good practical joke should love this web site link:

http://hacks.mit.edu/Hacks/

It is a list of all major (and some minor) pranks done on the MIT campus over the last several decades. I was also a college prankster. I only wish I had the ingenuity and the time it took to pull off some of these wicked stunts!

My favorite is probably the Gnome infestation in 2003 -- look it up!

Guardian Angels.

Learned tonight that yesterday my son hit a patch of ice and rolled the delivery truck filled with sheet rock... he and his passenger are OK and the truck escaped with just a broken windshield... even the sheet rock escaped injury - Thank goodness for soft shoulders of snow. And on the plus side - great learning experience for him.

He lives up in Park Rapids with his grandparents and works for the local Lumber Yard -

I learned not to be so freaked out years ago wehn he would disappear for days at a time - It's sad that I have become kinda numb over things like this.

ip6 uses ip6, ip4 user ip4. if you've got xp directly connected (instead of through a router), you automatically get a 6to4 tunnel set up and can use ipv6.

I pop in from time to time to see how the guys are doing. I'm glad I did. I was able to hear some of their concerns that weren't being passed to me via their supervisor. I can fix a few things for the guys to make their jobs a bit easier and more productive.

My 1st shift supervisor just came in. Over an hour and a half late. She picked the wrong day to do this.

Coke is the real thing - and Vanilla Coke is my second favorite.

Enjoy: Taxes done and e-filed!

Enjoy until the last half hour or so of spending the day with Brenda. That last half hour she had a bee in her bonnet because she had taken so dang long to pack so she was sweating it and then giving me the third degree about why I was going to the airport the way I was going. I am going to enjoy telling her that the option next time will be to take a cab and pay for the ride. :smile:

Enjoy: Having the day as a holiday so I could spend the day getting stuff done and spending time with the brat.

Wow! Good for you, Kitch! All kinds of benefits from cutting back like that, plus after awhile, it just doesn't taste good anymore!

My favorite is Vernor's ginger ale. Not even as bad for ya as all the ones with phosphorus in them, but still lots of empty calories and bad things.

Now that I'm not drinking it anymore - well, hardly ever - I find I can't finish the whole can.

Yes, this a a good thing. But it sure is an eye opener when you see that card, that your elderly parents carried in their wallets, show up with your name on it.

OT, 65 is a lot younger today than it was when your parents got their Medicare cards. And you are a very young 65.
Tue, 02/19/2008 - 9:25 AM Permalink
OT

So is 65 the new 55? :wink:

I haven't got a problem getting old. But the Medicare Card was the first tangible thing to remind me of it. It's not even as though senior discounts start at 65 anymore. They can start as young as 55, so 65's not as obvious a distinction.

Even airlines make the distinction. I'm taking a trip in September with five of my friends from school who all turn 65 this year. When we bought our tickets we got two "regular" tickets and four "senior" tickets. Now we wonder if they're going to seat us up front so we don't get in the way if everyone has to exit the plane quickly. :cool:

Either that or they stick you in the back and pray you can 'de-plane' before they can get refueled and fly out again.

'de-plane' sounds like such a stupid word - can't help thinking about....
