<--- sends some muffins to Nancy (soft enough?) and wonders which is her favourite Austen novel? <---'s is Persuasion.

<--thanks Lorie for the happy pills
<--is tickled to get an Evily hug
<--tells her <-- had braces from 27 to 29
<--was very annoyed at the adults who liked to stare because it was apparently fascinating to see an adult in braces
<--is delighted that the OALers are fired up about Key West
<--likes steamy weather, seafood, and margaritas
<--also thinks its cool Shannon has a horse
<--used to loooooooooove horses as a kid and wanted one
<--only owned the Byers model horses that don't poop or need to see the vet ;-)
 
<---is glad Emily finished using the toolbox
<---tells her the horse work will be a bit of re-education
<---explains that <--- actually started training the horse oh, years ago and then stopped
<---says the horse is now nine years old and is not trained to ride
<---assures everyone that she's a very nice horse, just uneducated
<---actually needs some help with the training, which is why <--- quit
<---has decided to try again anyhow, so will check to see exactly how much the horse remembers
<---thinks it's quite a bit - she's a smart little cookie
<---also thinks Jane A. would probably have written an award-winning novel about us exercise addicts and what happened once we were locked up
<---won't be joining y'all in Key West
<---has enough hot, steamy weather right here, thanks very much
 
<---wishes Shannon good luck re-training her horse

<---says horse is now ridable though
<---feels better about being at work now that the day is over half over and <--has been listening to Jimmy all morning
<---would love to go to Key West with OALers
<---should try to write a novel Jane Austin-y, set in Key West with fitness freaks as characters
<---would have to include a piratey type fellow named Johnny
<---wonders if Johnny should be a good guy or a bad guy?
<---or maybe just a misunderstood guy
<---had a laugh yesterday when friend told me how she found out her son broke up with his girlfriend because another friend told her his "status" had changed to single on facebook
<---'s friend's son was astonished that his parents had found out before he told them
<---says be careful what you post}(
 
<--tells Beavs anytime, <--has an unlimited supply
<--just did first ever iTread workout 60 minute run
<--was shocked at how quickly 60 minutes and 6 miles FLEW by
<--is depressed <--liked iClimb and iTread so much because <--now thinks <--is going to have to go buy CC's
<--'s credit card has burn marks from being swiped so much!
 
<---thanks Robin for the good luck wishes
<---tells this little tale, in non<---speak, about the horse:

She understood reigning, accepted the saddle, bridle, etc. She did pretty much whatever I asked of her on the ground. She didn't mind at all when I sat on her. But she got totally confused when I asked her to go, turn, etc. from the saddle. She'd jump into a very tight spin, and off I'd go. I'm not the best rider in the world and couldn't figure out how to bring her out of that spin before I fell off. So I quit before one of us got hurt.

<---knows the fault is human, not equine
<---wants to bring in a professional trainer!
<---probably can't afford it

<---thinks Johnny could be a good guy, but probably a bit on the devilish side
<---thinks Lori should go ahead and buy the CC's and then promise no more until Christmas
 
<---apologizes, but is ROFLOL at the picture of Shannon and her horse and the tight spin
<---has a horse story, also easier in non <-- speak: I used to help with a therapeutic horseback riding program at a stable a mile or so down the road from my friends stable. We used one of her horses and she would let me ride Dinah, the horse, back to the stable when were done. Dinah was happy to be heading home and would start galloping up the road. I was not a galloping kind of gal, being pretty new to riding. My friend told me to turn her in tight circles to get her to stop. So we'd be doing tight circles,practically at a gallop, all the way up the road to home. I think we would both be dizzy by the time we got there.
<---says now you know why <--is a dizzy broad
 
<--- has been MIA for a couple of days
<--- is baa-aa-aa-ack!!!
<--- hopes she has arrived in time to "see" all of the lovely OALers
<--- also hopes Phyllis de-stresses over the weekend
<--- is impressed with Judy's 6 miles!
<--- hopes Catherine enjoyed ME premix
<--- loves ME!
<--- thinks Deb did a great job with the pull-ups!
<--- has never even tried to do one pull-up
<--- hopes Beavs feels better & gets to work out over the weekend
<--- is sorry she has been feeling depressed
<--- sends Nancy good luck vibes for her implant
<--- hopes she finds lots of various soft foods to eat
<--- is SO glad relieved about Michele's brother
<--- loves Melissa's new Athena pictures!
<--- thinks Athena is a cutie!
<--- has probably missed Shelley but hopes she has a good afternoon & weekend with Miss Sophie
<--- is excited that Evily is getting her braces off
<--- thinks Ronne has some fun events planned & would like to visit Jane Austen's house too
<--- thanks Robin for mentioning Jimmy's music
<--- is going to listen to some this afternon too
<--- also wants to visit Key West with all the OAL ladies!
<--- loved her Key West vacation & can't wait to go back again someday
<--- tells Lorie that <--- has been thinking about getting a CC
<--- never uses the treadmill & hates to think of it sitting down there, collecting dust
<--- hates cardio, though, so <--- doesn't want to waste $$$ on something <--- might not use
<--- hopes Shannon gets her horse trained
<--- thinks horses are beautiful creatures but...
<--- isn't into riding horses
<--- will stick with much smaller furry critters
<--- has been super busy this week & will be super busy for the next several days
<--- hopes to have more time to chat next week
<--- is in desperate need of a pedicure but will probably have to do it herself
<--- hopes everyone has a fantabulous Friday & a great weekend too
<--- needs to go see what else is going on
<--- will BBL!
 
<---is also LOL at the image of Shannon and horsie in a tight spin, until Shannon gets flung ;) :p
<---hopes Shannon has better luck with it this time
<---thinks Ronne should just go ahead and buy the CCs - they are worth the credit card damage ;)
<---can't wait to try iTread now, after rave reviews from Shelley and Ronne :D
<---will be doing it tomorrow
<---had a huge lunch today at a steakhouse
<---is a vegetarian, so you wouldn't think there would be much for <--- to eat at a steakhouse, but they had a buffet with really good salad, and the green beans and mashed potatoes were yummilicious
<---also "may" have had a slice of Oreo cheesecake... :9
<---should probably do iTread TWICE now, to burn off those calories
<---better get back to finishing all the work <--- has to do still this afternoon
<---chat with ya's later!

ETA
<---waves to Kel! :D
 
<---admits that the whole spinning horse thing is kind of funny to think about
<---didn't think it was so funny to hit the ground, though
<---wonders if Robin knows how to pull a horse out of a tight spin, since she's obviously good at causing one
 
<--- also thinks the spinning horse stories were hilarious but...
<--- knows how easy it is to get hurt falling off a horse so...
<--- is glad Shannon didn't get injured!
<--- hopes Robin can offer spinning-horse-stopping-advice to Shannon:p :+
