<p>and "meetings" for several folks.... ~~~~~</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My fun is also a work thing.  I leave tomorrow for Washington DC for a conference.  But I won't mention that I'm going a day early and letting my company pay for it.  Nope, not saying a word.  So you don't either... 'k?</p>

<p>Enjoy your Buzziness trip, <strong>Tony</strong>a!</p>

<p><strong>Runninlaw</strong>:  The world is your oyster!  unless, of course, you don't like oysters...The world is your cracker jack's box!    (it had to have a prize inside, otherwise, it's just food.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Me</strong>: writing a procedure manual.  wooohooo....not.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD</strong>: Peanut vs plain M&Ms?  discuss!</p>
 
#4 ·
<p>Morning all</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm going to repeat myself.  <strong>WINTER</strong> you make me smile and not in the "nod and smile way"  either.  I just think you're fantastically funny</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD</strong> does it just have to be regular or peanut or can we add in peanut butter or pretzel?  I'm more of a peanut butter gal but if I have to choose between the 2 I'm going to say plain. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So they have my reference list and I will find out sometime today if I get an interview. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch with out milk.  I'd really like milk but the cafe upstairs doesn't have any milk.  I'm really thirsty. </p>

<p>Definitely peanut!  There's not enough to sink your teeth into with the plain.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Safe travels, <strong>Tonya</strong>.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>It's only 8 am and I want a nap already.  I keep waking up multiple times in the middle of the night, and while I always fall back to sleep, it's still screwing with my head.</p>

<p>Hee hee - I love oysters!  Unfortunately, I can't get them in Wisconsin.  Hmmm, maybe I need to plan a vacation - now, that would be fun!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD:</strong>  Peanut, hands down.  Although I won't turn down plain if offered.  :D</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorry to hear about all of the sucky sleep.  I had 2 bad nights in a row of sleep, but did well last night.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today is a Friday for my boys as they have no school Thursday or Friday.  Then my FIL - who the boys and I have not seen in 3.5 years after he walked out on MIL (and the rest of his family) is coming on Saturday and Sunday.  I am nervous and sick about it, but glad he is finally making an effort to reconnect in some way.  Interestingly, DS#2 was all kinds of concerned about divorce last night - asking which of us (me or DH) would "want" him if we divorced and whether he'd have to be separated from his brother.  Extra hugs and assurances were in order. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Rant:</strong>  I have been running my butt off over the last several weeks and have even added biking in.  I have cut way back on wine/beer intake and have been watching what I have been eating.  Yet I weigh more than ever!  WTH?!?  I am very, very frustrated.  My pants are a little too big and I don't look like I have gained weight, but I am very frustrated.  By now, I should be at a normal (lower) mid-training weight.  Not sure what else to do.</p>

<p>Morning.   Heading out soon for my rescheduled massage appt.  Fun in theory, but he's typically brings me to tears a few times.  Worth it when it's finished, for sure!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>QOD:  Peanut first, then plain.  Both are denied if Resse's Pieces are available instead.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>~~~Jobby job~~~ take em if you need em</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yeah, Prae!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have fun Dr. T!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ok, off to check on the fit thread now.   Happy Wednesday all!</p>

<p>morning peeps.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm <em>tired</em> and today's going to be another long day.  I don't have plans tonight, but I suspect I might be at work until at least 7 if not later.  I'd forgotten I had a dentist appt this morning, so I couldn't come in early...i was in on time, just not early.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Did I mention I'm going on vacation tomw?  I've been so busy I haven't even had time to really think about it.  I still have to do laundry, pick out what to bring, pack, clean up my spare room for my friend who is cat sitting...never mind I want to get a pedi before I go.  Sigh. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Remind me that once I'm there, it'll all be easy...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I went to see the live action short film Oscar nominees last night.  They were all great!  I really enjoyed them.  Quite unusually, I've seen 3 of the Best Film noms and now the short film noms. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Michelle, here's hoping!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Prae, I still say that's AWESOME.  Plus you look great on camera.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kath, it's just a testament to your abilities they are giving you such a big project.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>((((((((((RIL)))))))))  I've had similar situations with my BiL and it's very very hard.  I'll be thinking of you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hello everyone else.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>I want to be on vacation!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>QOD:  I would have answered Peanut until someone mentioned the Peanny Butter ones.  OMGreat Googalie Moogalies!  Those are Grandtastic!  I think i will go buy some at the bulk barn on my way home today. </p>

<p> I feel your pain.  I've run 17 marathons in the last 6 years and logged about 8,200 miles in that time, yet I weigh a couple pounds more than when I started.  I am also quite frustrated...</p>

<p>QOD:  plain...but I don't really like M&Ms all that much in general.  [/ducks]</p>

<p>Good morning gang</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kinda quiet around this place, were is everybody at? Not much to report on this end. Just slogging along through the day. Planning on going out for a walk at lunch as I didnt drag my butt out of bed this morning for a ride or run.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorry to hear about those of you with sleeping issues. Been there, dont that, its not much fun. Hopefully they will resolve themselves soon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD</strong> Peanut without a doubt but I wont turn down plain. Havent tried the pretzel or peanut butter type yet.</p>
 
#18 ·
<p>Hi all, it's been a busy day with students here.  My afternoon students are all applying for graduation, so that's pretty routine at least.  My mind is also in California, where <strong>Moonie's</strong> grandma's funeral mass is in progress.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD-</strong>  I prefer peanut but plain and PB are good too.   I particularly love the dark chocolate ones.  The pretzel ones are just ok, and I'm scared to try the coconut ones.  Those just seem wrong.</p>
 
#20 ·
<p>How'd it go? How'd it go? How'd it go?</p>
 
#21 ·
<p>Hi all, just got back from my grandma's Mass and burial services - that's always tough, but seeing family and friends afterward is always comforting.  I didn't even realize until last night's slideshow  that my grandparents passed from this world roughly five years apart.  Time flies indeed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good luck with the in-law foray, <strong>Mindi</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Wippy!</strong>  How'd it go?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope you have a great time down in Mexico, <strong><span style="color:rgb(0,100,0);">Maria</span>!</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD:</strong>  Peanut, though I can take some plain ones no prob.  Like to try some almond and pretzel ones sometime; coconut ones were meh. Would like to compare the PB ones to Reeses Pieces sometime as well.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Mmmmmm. Peanut butter.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(((((Moonie))))))</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maureen - I guess, but..... still. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the process of loading a bisq kiln. I can't imagine how much my back would hurt if I was using the full depth.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>QOD: I haven't eaten them in about 8 years. They're both ok, but I liked other candy better.</p>
