++It's Hump Day MELTERS!++

Hey Deb - Just got done with CC volume 4 and I am smoked. Going to get a protein shake and get ready for work. Talk to all of you after work.
 
Good morning melties! Hope everyone had a great night.

Thanks for starting us off, Deb! Do you do the iCycles much? Have any faves?

HEY ALLIE!!!!!!! How was the dinner with the new BF?? Do tell.

Best travel wishes for Ms Tneah – hope you have a great trip, and thanks from the bottom of my heart for your sweet words. You are a doll!!! I hope you get a chance to slow down a little soon, and breathe!

Shelley – hope you had a great holiday yesterday! Whatd'ya do?

Robin, Shannon, Lanie, Kara and Leanne – thank you so much for your support yesterday. Honestly. I have a MUCH better attitude today! I appreciate your continued positive thoughts and prayers. I am going to call around today and see if there’s somewhere I can get in sooner. I live in a HUGE city, so this shouldn’t be hard, right?

Morning to Peggie, WTG on the CC. I don’t have Vol 4. I’m sure it’s fabulous though! Do you do CC a lot? Do you do that on the TM or do you go outside? You live in such beautiful country!
 
Morning all!

I'm working on about 4 hours sleep here - I just could NOT fall asleep last night!

Sorry I wasn't around yesterday but I spent the ENTIRE day out in the garden. We were out there from about noon (after we got back from the garden centre!) until about 7:30.

Gotta run but I'll be back later for more personals.
 
Hey All:)


Well, I am operating on little sleep as well...ugh. Not a good thing for me, I get a very spoiled 8 hours a night, but last night went to bed really late and had to wake up really early, maybe I can catch a few Zzzzz's in the car.

Off to San Diego until September! Hope I can adjust right away, it'll be strange spending that much time on the boat...

Sending you all happy hump day wishes..will check back in tonight!:)

Oh, do you like our new mascot? Leanne recommended it and I kinda just "went with it"...is it too much?:p Nothing offends me except intolerance, so I hope I don't get in trouble.
;)
 
Goodmorning humpers. I mean melters.

BreckGirl, I'm glad to hear you feel a little better. Yes, do shop for another mammo provider.

Shelley, I'm so glad to see you here bright and early. I get worried when you are MIA. How is the pond looking? Back to work today?

I'm off the next two days, but don't have any big plans. Jay's grandmother died Tuesday morning, so I expect we'll be going to the viewing tomorrow. I'm supposed to meet a friend for bagels, so I'm not sure how the timing will all work out. Tris will be home tomorrow afternoon. We will watch fireworks from Jay's house Friday. Then back to work for me. I'm looking forward to the next three weekends though. Next weekend I took Fri and Mon off and I think we'll go camping. The following weekend DH and I are headed to the Finger Lake wineries in one of his sports cars. Then comes the pre-RT. Yahoo! Now, somewhere in all that, I have to try to melt another 5 pounds.
 
Good morning, ladies!

Peggy - do you like CC 4? Believe it or not, I don't have that one, or anythign before 5. I've heard it's pretty good.

BreckGirl - I'm glad we were able to help yesterday. Hang in there.

Shelley - oooohhh! I envy you! All day in the garden! How fun! But the 4 hours of sleep thing doesn't sound like much fun at all. :-(

Tneah - well, this boating adventure should be something, huh? Now, why, exactly are you doing it? I forget. Love your mascot!!! :7 I guess we should all use the little chica, huh?

Robin - I'm sorry to hear about Jay's grandmother. But wow - your next couple of weekends sound fabulous! Where are you going camping?

Today is a rest day... if you can call it that. I have to go grocery shopping after work, which doesn't sound like much of a rest to me! But it will make me happy to see a full refrigerator again. The poor thing is so empty and desolate right now. ;)

I had to give my dog a bath last night. Yes, again, after just giving her one Sunday. My brother lets his dogs run, and they brought back something dead. My dog found it out in the field when we were going to the barn. She rolled in in. Oh, lovely. She sure was confused when I pulled out the hose again... but I told her she asked for it! :7
 
Hello Melters! http://planetsmilies.net/obscene-smiley-1023.gif

I'm listening to all the racket as the paving guys continue the job. So far it looks great. Here's the pavers we're using: http://www.techo-bloc.com/homeowners/index.php?p=Products&e=view&productId=92 in the Sandlewood color. The pattern comes out at a 45 degree angle from the house, alternating the rectangular with the square blocks. Well, maybe I won't describe more but will wait for some pics when they're done. I like it so far. The only thing we're less than happy with (other than the heinie-wipe neighbor) is that the path leading to our cars is a little wider than expected--but it's no biggie.

I'm really tired again today. Ugh. I already want a nap http://planetsmilies.net/tired-sleeping-smiley-4635.gif but I can't. For one thing, I've got the two noisy little boys; for another the noisy paving dudes. Oh, and lots of cleaning and preparation still to do for Friday's party. I've got a to-do list as long as my arm which I'm dreading looking at again. Hence the lengthy procrastinatory typing here. (Yeah, i don't think that was a real word but it was fun to make up.)

Deb, hope you pop back in soon.

Peggie, do you do CCs on a bike or treadmill or what?

BreckGirl, I'm glad you're feeling a little better today. I hope you can get it checked out soon and I hope it turns out to be no big deal! I'll send up a prayer for you.

Shelley, got any more garden pictures to show us? I liked the water feature and toilet brush pics. http://planetsmilies.net/winking-smiley-42.gif

Tneah, you know I'm not offended by the boobalicious women. http://planetsmilies.net/obscene-smiley-1024.gif

Robin, wow, lots going on for you. Hope you have a great day.

Shannon, just be glad you don't have to take two little boys grocery shopping with you (which I will next time I go).

Oh yay! My new Rykas just arrived. http://www.websmileys.com/sm/happy/050.gif

OK, off to start some cleaning. http://planetsmilies.net/person-smiley-9823.gif I'm sure I'll bbl to procrastinate some more and catch up with everyone else.

(I know, I've really gotta get over the smiley obsession.)

Good morning, ladies!

Today I have GS Legs scheduled, plus some abs. Oh, my legs are tired just thinking about it!

Peggie -- Ah, I think I really need to cave on CC! All this talk of it makes me really want to get a volume! Great job on your workout this morning!!

Deb -- How did your workout go this morning? Is DF's wife going to be back soon? Glad he's doing well!

BreckGirl -- Glad that you're feeling better today! Really, though, do try and call around, or call that one hospital and insist that you go in tomorrow when they do the follow-ups. I'm sure all is fine, but you need to have that relief of knowing you're OK! Sending you {{{HUGS}}}!

Shelley -- We missed you yesterday, but sounds like you were having a wonderful holiday! Do you think you couldn't sleep b/c you were maybe anxious about going back to work after the long weekend? {{{HUGS}}}, sleepy head! Hope you can get to bed extra early tonight!

Tneah -- Ah, you're such a sweetie! Thanks for your kind words yesterday! Loved the joke about the en-titties! You are so funny, babe! I love your sense of humor!! I'm so glad that you got some meds to feel better. Do you think your back will be alright with the long car ride today? Now once you get all settled in on the boat, we definitely will have to get together, OK? And if you start to miss dry land, you can come up to mi casa and hang out! Wouldn't that be fun? We could play some mean pranks on BIL to make him go away. I wasn't sure about putting the boobie lady in my signature outside our group. Hmm . . . do you think the forum admin people would get upset if we use her in our signatures?? Have a safe drive!! And hooray for being able to see your pictures soon!

Robin -- Humpers . . . tee hee! Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about Jay's grandmother! Is he doing alright? How nice, though, that he was home to be here for her funeral. When does he have to go back to Afghanistan? Is Emily doing OK with that? Sounds like you have some fun weekends coming up! Don't worry too much about losing those five pounds before the RT -- it'll come off eventually, and it's always so hard to melt when so many summer events are going on!

Shannon -- Did you get a chance to enjoy the sunrise again this morning? After reading your post yesterday, I was thinking about how I always think of my mom whenever I see a beautiful sunset. I don't know why, but it's something that just sort of started reminding me of her after she died. Oh, your poor poochie, having to get another bath and all! I hate grocery shopping, but love having yummy, healthy foods in the house. Today I'm going to drag DH to Costco with me so we can get some stuff for July 4. Enjoy your rest day!

Lainie -- How is the patio work coming along? Do you think it'll still get done in time for Friday? Are you feeling the KB workout today?}(

Allie -- Details, details, babe! We want to hear all the juicy details of what happened on your date last night! Please do tell! ;-)

Kara -- You probably won't have time to check in, but, in case you do, hope you have a safe trip to Wisconsin! We'll miss you the next couple of weeks!



http://planetsmilies.net/obscene-smiley-1023.gif
 
Hey Lainie Bug -- We were posting at the same time! Naw, I love the smilies! You and Allison better keep on using them! Bummer about the patio guys being so noisy. Those pavers are so nice-looking! You'll definitely have to post some photos when it's all finished up. Maybe you can just try to get to bed really early tonight . . . and remind yourself that you'll get plenty of sleep after Friday! ;-) Let us know how you like your new Rykas!
 
Howdy. http://www.pic4ever.com/images/2gwb921.gif[/img]

OMG dinner went so well last night! I had so much fun. We both did. }( hehe We just talked and hung out and cooked. That's it, I swear. No really I do. Kind of. }( http://www.pic4ever.com/images/238.gif[/img]It was really, really fun. I made the most delicious dinner from my beloved "Express 30 Minute Meals" cookbook. Gotta love Rachael Ray. ;) I made the "Warm, Chopped Chicken Piccata Salad". Dee'lish, let me tell you. Except I put too much lemon in. Oh well. It was still awesome.

Anyhoo, I way overslept this morning. But it worked out since I was going in to work a little late anyway. I had to drop my fancy new car off to be simonized or whatever it's called and they're detailing it. The detailing dudes had already left for the day when I bought the car on Monday night so they're doing it today. I can't wait! They gave me a loaner to drive today and it's actually the 2006 version of the car I bought. It's so weird how different they are. Mine's so much sexier. :p

Lainie--good luck with all your chores and prep for the party! Hope you can get a nap in at some point.

Tneah--safe travels my little Magellen! (Or whatever the name of that guy is who travelled a lot. Maybe I'll stick with calling you my little Columbus. Except you're not discovering new land. We should totally name a Holiday after you anyway! I'm so rambling right now. I'm workin' on very little sleep. Forgive me.

Robin--yeah for Tristan coming home! How long is he staying? Have fun on your days off!

Shelley--how was Canada Day? I celebrated on your behalf. ;) Glad you got some time in the garden.

Deb--come back! How's the pup?

Peggie--I have CC 4 but I've never done it. I'm hoping to do it tomorrow. Do you do it on a treamill?

Kara--how are you?

Leanne--hello dahling! How's the @*%$#@& BIL? ;)

Breckgirl--I'm glad you're feeling a little better today. Let us know when you hear anything, k? Oh, and I'm dying to know your real first name....;)

Shannon--ew about your dog rolling in something dead! Blech. I hate it when dogs do that! Nice work giving him that bath again!

Is that everyone? Sorry if I missed anyone. Gotta get back to work. I'm hoping to get in PUB and/or PLB tonight depending on my energy levels and how much time I have. I've also really gotta buckle down and get some homework done. We don't have class tomorrow night! YAY! This is the first Thursday night I'll have free since I started school again back in Feb. and the last Thursday I'll have free until Thanksgiving. :(

BBL!

I'm having a major meltdown and am in tears right now. I was going to use my credit card miles to buy my RT plane ticket (which I still haven't done since I needed to build up more points), and now I can't use it on the RT dates -- even though those aren't their blackout dates! I'm on hold with a manager right now who is a total witch. UGGGG! I should have known that they wouldn't have seats available. Tickets to Phil. are so expensive. I don't know what to do. UG! Sorry!:-(
 
Lanie - believe me, I'm very glad I don't have to take two little boys shopping!!!

Allison - I'm glad your dinner went so well! And whatever else you did... ;) Why on earth are you doing BOTH of the Pyramids??? Girl, you have waaay too much energy. :p

Leanne - nope, no sunrise this morning. Okay, there was a sunrise, but it wasn't as impressive. I checked while I was driving. :7 Have fun with GSL! It's my favorite leg workout.
 
OH NO, LEANNE! What are we going to do? Tell that witch of a manager that she better give you your tickets or your Melter buddies will come over there and kick her butt!

Are there just no seats available or is there a problem with your miles? Hang in there. One way or another we'll get you to the RT--if I have to hire a private jet to get you to Jersey I'll do it! ;)

Allison

http://www.picturetrail.com/allisonj90
 
Leanne - OH NO! I know you are completely frustrated and panicked. Fear not. Where there's a will, there's a way. If we all have to get together and drive sections of the US for you (I'll pick you up and drive you all by myself if I have to) to get you there, we can rally together and do it! Something will work out. It has to.

Saying a prayer and sending anti-witchy vibes to the mgr type person.
 
Ah, thanks so much, BreckGirl and Allie! {{{HUGS}}} to you both! It turns out that they only have a certain number of seats for each flight, and they're totally booked for the entire summer. She said that you have to book 2-3 months ahead of time, but NOWHERE in their materials does it say that. I asked her to find the statement where it says so, and there's one really vague phrase about "certain restrictions." I guess it's my fault for being stupid about the whole thing; I've never used one of these dumb credit cards before. I knew it was too good to be true. The only good thing is that the witchy manager said she would refund the miles/points I bought over the weekend so I could buy my dang ticket. So now I'm really bummed since it looks like I'll have to pay mucho dinero for a ticket! UG!! x(
 
Okay, I'm back for a minute!

Tneah - hurry up and get to SD, would ya? So, you're spending the whole summer on the boat? When will you go back to Vegas?

Robin - the pond is fabulous. Chris ripped out part of the stream yesterday and is rebuilding the waterfall. Turns out there was a leak underneath the liner. Your upcoming weekends sound fabulous! Enjoy!

Lainie - sorry it's so noisy over there! That would drive me crazy. I do have a few more garden pics. I'll try to get them off my camera this week so I can show you!

Allie - whoo hoo about the boy! And the new car! Our Canada Day was quiet. It's one of the two days this entire month that we have together, which I'm kinda bummed about.

Leanne - I don't think that was it with the sleep thing. I just have way too much in my head these days, most of it isn't good. I'm so sorry to hear about your ticket! Keep your eyes peeled for seat sales! Or borrow BIL's credit card and use that:p

Breckgirl - welcome! Did I say that already? I agree that you should phone around and find somewhere to have the testing done sooner.

And Peggie - welcome to you too! The FBI, huh? Guess we'll have to watch what we say now ;) I love your pics. All your kids are gorgeous and you and your DH are a fine looking couple:)

And off I go again!
 
Allison – sounds like dinner was perfection! I’m so happy for you! That salad sounds completely mouth-watering! And whatever you do mean? BreckGirl IS my real name. ;) Thanks for the well-wishes. They mean a lot.

GRRRRRR – the doc that is riding the van today is a total teeth-sucker! Every few minutes – SUCK! SUCK! Dangit. It’s driving me nuts. Get some floss or something already.

Tneah – San Diego til September? OH, sounds completely fabulous! I heart San Diego. Mmmmmmmmm Why the long stay?

Robin – sorry to hear about y’all’s loss. Will be thinking of you. Your upcoming trips sound fun – DH and I went to the finger lakes wineries when we first got married. Had a BLAST!!! Came home with wine we don’t remember buying, and some we went, “WE LIKED THIS????” So hysterical. Have big juicy fun!!!!!

Shannon – that’s so funny about your dog. Does she mind bathing?

Lainie – your patio sounds cool, can’t wait to see pics. I know you’ll post some, because you are the blog QUEEN. I checked it out the other day. WHERE do you find the time? You are so talented. When is your new ortho appt? I go for a cleaning next Tuesday. I’m getting my teeth cleaned every 2-3 months to keep things ahead of schedule. My ortho told me the cleaner my teeth and gums are, the faster my treatment will be. I already have really clean teeth, but I don’t feel as clean as I used to… just can’t floss and brush the way I feel I should.

Kara – have a safe trip! Can’t wait to hear more when you return.

Shelley - yes ma'am, you welcomed me. But I'll be welcomed again, no problem. Thanks! Your stream and waterfall sound really groovy!

Howdy howdy to everyone else – will BBL to check in on all you lovelies.

PS – called about 15 places this morning and found a spot tomorrow at 330. I’m having a nephew at the same hospital at 3 that day (obviously via C-section) but I went ahead and scheduled the repeat mammo. Funny thing is, that as soon as I hung up, my Dr office called. She told me I couldn’t come pick up my films at the office because she had already sent them to the hospital. (I was going to have one of our radiologists check them out) I told her I needed to pick them up at the hospital and to please tell me how I could do that. She asked why – and I told her I had an appt at another hospital tomorrow at 330. She said, “well, if I can get you in sooner, will you come here?” I told her I would, and it’s closer to my house. She called me right back and said they would see me at 730 am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I’m so happy I can get it over with and then go enjoy my new nephew and his brand-new-baby smell. You all have been a wonderful support – I really appreciate it. Will be sure to check in and let you know what they say. She said they’d tell me right away at the hospital.

Later tater-tots!
 
BreckGirl -- Oh, that is such wonderful news that they can get you in so early tomorrow morning!!! Yes, please be sure to let us know what happens, and know that we'll be sending you all our positive vibes in the meantime! And how exciting that your new little nephew will be here tomorrow! That'll hopefully help take your mind off of things. You mentioned how much you like being an auntie, so do you have many other nieces and nephews?

Shannon -- Thought of you while doing GS Legs. Gosh, that's a toughie, but it's fun, too!

Shelley -- Sending you {{{HUGS}}}, babe! Sorry that so much stuff is bothering you right now! Anything you want to talk about with us gals??

Allie -- How in the world did I miss your earlier post about having the new BF over last night?? We must have been posting around the same time. I'm so happy that it went well! How could he not be impressed by your culinary skills, and by that wonderful, sweet personality of yours?? :) Will you get your new sexy car back today? Hope so! Sorry that the air conditioner is still broken. That just sucks!;(


I'm in a better mood after working out, but still gotta figure out what to do about the plane ticket. I like Shelley's idea!}(

OK, just finished my protein shake, so gonna go jump in the shower. I kept telling myself that I would get off my lazy bum and start my sabbatical project in early July . . . but I sure am enjoying being a lazy bum this summer! Would it be so awful if I took the whole summer off from work?!}(

Edited b/c I can't forget our mascot! http://planetsmilies.net/obscene-smiley-1023.gif

So BreckGirl, looks like we're not getting your real name out of you, are we?! Just teasing, of course! ;-)
