Wednesday

Morning girls!  Anyone around?

I had to roll myself out of bed this morning because my abs are SO sore I couldn't sit myself up LOL.

I'm out to dinner tonight with customers so I had a 3 point breakfast & planned a 2 point lunch so I'll have plenty of points left.  

I'm bored at work... Yes, already.  Been here for an hour & 45 minutes & we have yet to do a trade.

I'm here! My coworker is out sick today so It's going to be a slow day for me.

I am both excited and nervous for tonight. Last night we had sign-ups for my spring cheerleading team. 8 of my 10 girls from last season signed up, but we also have 8 new girls!! Most have cheered before, but some have not. Tonight I get to see what they all have for skills. I am excited to get back into the swing of things, but there is only 9 practices before our competition so I have to work with the new girls and come up with an entire routine in that time!! AHHH!

So I will be around today to pass the time! Distractions encouraged and welcomed.

Hi CDE! We miss you around here! 

I used to be a cheerleader & I absolutely loved it.  It was the only thing I was ever good at haha

9 practices is not a lot at all.  Is the routine you're teaching them difficult?

Aw thanks! I miss being here!

I know 9 isn't much at all. We have been fighting for gym time and we only have one practice a week. Hopefully when basketball ends, we can get a few more practices in. I have a general idea of the routine, but I have to see the skill set of the girls tonight before I can really put it together. Depending on their tumbling and stunts, we then have to pick a level, and go from there.

I do love a challenge though so it should be fun!!

I'm here working too. I've been working since 6:30 (as usual), but today I cannot wake up.

I've been kinda looking at the Skinny Taste website to try to find some all in one recipes to make whenever I go to birthday parties. Now that the holidays are over, those will be my biggest challenges to lose weight.

I did the headband curls again and this time they came out a little looser, so I like them better this way. I ended up breaking the headband I used yesterday though, so I might have to go pick up a few more if this is going to become habit, lol.

I was never a cheerleader. I was a flag girl! The only time that I ever felt in the spotlight, but hidden (by the band and other flag girls) at the same time! : )

Swazzle

CDE: Good luck with them tonight, I hope it works out! 

Ely: I was considering trying the curls today but I have dinner with work & was afraid if I did it wrong I'd look like a lion or something all day LOL What do you mean by 'all in one' recipes?

Lol, yeah, I'd probably practice the curls before wearing them out.

By all-in-one, I mean a meal that I can take in a bowl and there are veggies, protein and everything all in one. I don't want to have to bring a big lunch bag or something and try to prepare something there. So I'm looking at crockpot or soup recipes.

Swazzle

Tarra: That sounds.... interesting haha Can we see?

Ely: I might try it this weekend.  Or I also saw on YouTube where you wrap your hair around socks & then knot the socks & sleep like that that I might try too. I really don't think these curls ideas will last on me though, my hair is SO incredibly straight.

Lauren: I need a visit with you soon!! I miss you. I am coming to DE actually sometime in February, I forget the exact date. I *think* it's the weekend of the 25th. Also, I love that you're bored because the mice aren't getting it on hahahahaha

I'm here!

I've knocked out my first task of the day (for my actual work), but bossman isn't in yet, so I'm working on job stuff.  Since I got absolutely nothing done yesterday.  Cover letters still suck.

I didn't think mine would hold either, but I didn't put any product in my hair at all and it stuck all day. I even put it up and sweat a lot and it was still curly, a little sweaty, but curly, lol.

The sock thing sounds like it might be harder, lol. If you do that though, can you take a picture and share it because I would love to see how it looks in the sock stage! lol.

I'd be down, if ya'll would be willing to invite a slightly crazy chicana. Only slightly though...like in the fun way.

I tried headband curls last night. I did NOT get Ely's results. I'll leave it at that, haha!

No pics? lol ... what happened that you didn't like? Maybe we can figure out how to fix it.

GoldenPenguin

Haha - I didn't even take pics! I only wash my hair every other day, so I figured last night would be a good night to try. Needless to say, I washed my hair this morning!

I don't know what happened... it was just a terrible mess! I will try it again, probably when I have more time the next morning to play with it. I also used a skinny headband, which may have been part of the problem... but I used bigger sections to wrap, and didn't pull them tightly... I'll give it another shot, and I'll take pics next time, I promise :-)

beanbot2002

I'd be in for  GTG up north...you know, if ya'll are willing to invite a slightly crazy chicana. But only slightly...and in the fun way...

elannis

The headband that I used was about as wide as my pinky finger.

I actually let my hair dry completely and then go back and get water on my hands and just brush my hands through my hair to get it just a little damp. Otherwise it wouldn't dry all the way. I also have to focus on my sizes so that it all ends up even, which can be hard to accomplish, but it's not too bad since I have a ton of hair, lol.

You'll have to try it again and let us know what happens! : )

Swazzle

OK we need to make this G2G happen. For realz this time. 

I'm assuming this will need to happen on a Saturday since we'll have some OOTers.  

I don't mind playing organizer or at least figuring out some dates that could work for everyone.  

I'm going to start a new thread about it now. 

Elle1036

I want the G2G info when it's decided. No promises, but I will try to come.

Today really is going too slowly. I'm concerned because I'm already four hours into the work day and have only treated two of my nine patients. That does not bode well for my afternoon.

In other news, Tyler and I have gotten our vacation time asked off! We're going to take the train from Birmingham to Philadelphia, visit one of his friends there, go to NYC for a couple of days then head up to Vermont for a few days before taking the train from Albany back down to Birmingham. I'm so happy to be planning another vacation!!

We haven't been on vacation since October! During school, I didn't miss travel as much because I knew that when summer came around, I would leave the country or do something equally awesome. Now that I don't have summer and my job is crazy stressful, I need more vacations. We did California in May and Seattle in October, and we were going to go on vacation in March, but it was switched to April because of time off availability.

I'm hoping we'll take a long weekend and go to New Orleans soon as well.

I need to travel more. Tyler doesn't have a passport yet though, so I can't do the big travels unless I want to leave him home, which I don't. He's never left the country before and that makes me a sad panda :<.

FI hasn't ever left the country either and doesn't have a passport. I lived in Spain in college for 4 months and have been to Germany and Canada, but that's it for me as far as out of the country. I'd love to travel more often and farther away, but we have no money for that right now, especially with the wedding and school loans and trying to find a house.

You can take me on your long travel adventures. I have a passport! : )
