I'm here, but probably not for too long. I just got home from 2 days in Chicago for training, and I'm leaving right after work tomorrow to drive 3 hours across the state to spend the weekend with H. Ugh. My poor legs are cramping from all this sitting.

I managed to get a new nickname while we were bowling last night - it was a "team building" outing. Haha. The girl who organized it did "awards" this morning and named me "Raging Bull" in the Smoothest Moves category. I apparently kick my leg back weird when I bowl. Ha!

I would for sure embarrass myself if I had to go bowling with work.

akhensley81

Oh and Birdie? My MIL is one of those notoriously-late people. I gave her times 30 minutes ahead of when we actually needed her somewhere for the wedding, and she showed up right on time every.single.time.

We're watching Jackass 3.5? And I don't know why I think some of this stuff is funny, but it is.

If Les Halles has closed, go to the Old City, it's facinating and there's no way you can go wrong with a restaurant.

Yeah I'm lucky I didn't knock myself over. I usually do. Especially after a few beers, which I definitely had.

I don't bowl much, but the last time I did all my friends were doing this crazy crouch pose and making a big "X" out of their arms whenever they hit a strike. I got one strike last night and thought it would be funny to do, which it was. And then all day today in training every time someone passed me in the hallway, they did the "X" with their arms. I may not live that one down. LOL!

Birdie1483

AK, I think that's going to be my plan. At LEAST 30 minutes.

I'm a terrible bowler.  My sister has an average of like 200 and wonders why I never want to go bowling with her.

I remembered seeing someone ask about that here, and a lot of posters responded that it was a terribly rude thing to do. But I frankly didn't care. It worked, and then we weren't waiting for her for anything.

Of course, now that I learned that... we pretty much do it every time we make plans with her. LOL! Oh well.

Birdie1483

Oh no. There will be no waiting unless it's on my part. I can guarantee that. *sigh* I wish this wasn't all interweby so I could go into details.

Ciaram22

We used to do that with my mom. She was notorious for being an hour or 2 late. We always told her to be there an hour earlier then she needed to be.

Birdie1483

And I'm paranoid because my FMIL found me on here once. Luckily it was just a local thread and not a thread talking about me doing the nasty with her son

Post under an AE and I'll DD my post telling you to post under an AE haha

It's a date! Just don't put me in charge of keeping score. I'm worse at that than I am at the actual bowling.

ootmother2

I bowled 119 once.  I was 14

akhensley81

Do it, Birdie! Doo eet!

Birdie1483

It's really not that juicy, I just wanted to vent

Birdie1483

Where is LDY? I really do only have 9 more posts now until Gold. Come on peeps. Give me something to talk about.

akhensley81

Let's talk about what the helll I can do to keep my feet looking less like a combination of a dried-up salt lake and a chalk board. I ped egg'd & pumice stoned them, SOAKED them in oatmeal lotion, covered them in plastic bags, put socks and warm slippers on over them and left them for two hours... two days ago. And they're back to icky already. W. T. F.

** Edited for spelling

ootmother2

You need to use AmLactin.

It came off  prescription about a year and a half ago.  It's the best lotion for dry or fragile skin

Birdie1483

I'm having the same problem AK since I'm wearing flip flops more now. I've been using this Gold Bond foot cream and it's been helping a LOT.

I also try to scrub them with a foot scrubber when I'm in the shower. That helps with them not look so black after wearing Old Navy flip flops every day.

Meg1036

Wow.  We are seriously lame tonight.

Oh, my mom and I got in seriously the dumbest WR fight ever today.  We literally fought about wedding programs.  And whether or not I should include certain responses in them.  About 20% of our guests won't be Catholics, and I feel like she wants me to write out the entire mass for them.  I feel like I have a nice guideline there, and that its not too hard for adults to sit respectfully in someone's house of worship, even if you don't know all the words/responses.

And it was seriously a pretty big fight.  Dumb.

akhensley81

I will have to try that. For some reason they're especially bad this year. Usually my lotion/plastic bag move works pretty well and I only have to do it once or twice a month during the summer.

akhensley81

I want to get one of those foot cleaner scrubber things on the As Seen On TV commercials. That thing looks bad ass.

Birdie1483

I feel like someone like Beach said that thing wasn't as great as it looks. The Gold Bond stuff is the best stuff I've found OTC so far. It's blue with a red top.

Meg, a lot of my friends are Catholic and I've never had a problem following along. The priest or whatever you call it also instructed people a lot to one when they needed to sit/stand/kneel.

LDYGTR13

Birdie!!! This time I think my math is right! 5 MORE POSTS!!!!!

akhensley81

Meg, I agree with Birdie. Unless you're having your mass in Latin, I think your guests will be able to figure out what's going on. Besides, if they're not Catholic - they might not feel comfortable reciting the Profession of Faith or anything that's more specific to the religion. I think it would be fine to have the Psalm response in there, but otherwise I wouldn't see anything else as necessary.

Birdie, that's disappointing. It looks so cool on the commercials! Haha.
