Morning, everyone!<br><br>
Despite the forecast of rain all day, I am in a pretty positive mood this morning. My practice talk went well yesterday, and for once, I'm actually motivated to work on my job talk/dissertation/schoolwork. Good job vibes out to <b>Moe, kj, and Dom</b> and everyone else looking for work/transitioning at work. A friend who's also on the job market this year and I talk 3-4 days per week about getting jobs. I've never been so obsessed about employment in my life!<br><br><b>Maples</b>, great job sticking with OHR (you, too, <b>Startingover</b>!). I'm also impressed that you're working out outside of your runs. That's something that I definitely need to start doing again.<br><br>
I'm on the DL at least for today. I'm going to try to get out tomorrow, but I may have to wait until Sunday or Monday to run again. While I'm enjoying sleeping in; I still miss it. I guess absense really does make the heart grow fonder.<br><br><b>QOD</b>: Anywho. I know this is quite popular, but I grind my teeth everytime I hear it. I actually didn't go on a date with a guy b/c he kept saying it when we were talking on the phone.<br><br>
Well, Happy Friday, everyone!

 

How about clipping your toe nails at someone else's desk? How about picking scabs and ...eating them!!! Yes, I have a guy at work who does this sort of stuff and it is just the tip of the ice berg! One day he came into my office, without shoes and socks and put his feet up on my little cabinet. I hate feet and his were about the worst I had ever seen. Blech, bad memories <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/puke.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="puke">

 

Morning Peeps:<br><br>
Here's where I was sitting last night. not as cool as if I'd sent it last night but i don't have internet access on my phone. I could i just don't want to pay for it.<br><img alt="" src="http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p263/winterrun/DSC00036.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br>
The game last night was great. Corporate boxes are nice. Sens won 4-3 against the Canadians. I had a little mishap happen. I guess years of rooting for the Canadians stuck last night because when they tied the game up 3-3 I jumped out of my seat cheering. Then I realized what I had done. My husband snapped the guilt pic. Shame Shame Shame.<br><img alt="" src="http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p263/winterrun/DSC00042.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"> Oh well. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all win? Just once.<br><br><br><b>Maples</b>: Thanks for the Hockey Standings. Makes my heart pound fast to see the Sens at the top of the charts.<br><br><b>Maureen</b>: What if...you got that job...and you were absolutely wonderful at it....and you loved going there.....and you met really nice people ....and they really liked you.....and you enjoyed going to work everyday.....and you wondered why you didn't make the switch sooner.....what if all that happened? It could happen!<br><br><b>Eccabex:</b> Have fun on your busy day!<br><br><b>Noni</b>: your new avatar is not so blue but just as nice.<br><br><b>Jill</b>: I saw that movie with a girlfriend of mine. she brought her 13 year old daughter. We spent 3/4 of the movie laughing our heads off because of how inappropriate it was to bring her 13 year old daughter. she almost brought her 10 year old!<br><br><b>Hi LL!</b><br><br><b>Hugs to Mr. Cranky Pants {{{I'm not touching anything vital}}}</b><br><br><b>QOD</b>: When people are ignorant to how their behaviour affects others. Drives me freaking nuts!<br><br><b>Beaker:</b> How you feelling these days? Everything good?

 

Morning people...<br><br>
my day actually sounds a lot like <b>Nettie's</b> - planning on a lunch I'm not making and we're seeing a movie tonight - <i>Into The Wild</i> is finally opening here in Michigan.<br><br>
Four miles last night at a pretty quick pace - not enough light to do my full workout and I don't have one of <b>Brandy's</b> cool flashing-thingys - last hard run before the HM next weekend. Think I'm ready.<br><br><b>Startingover</b> - remind me which side of the state are you on? It got pretty wild/windy/rainy here last night but most of the really bad stuff was north of GR.

 

Wow, it is Friday. I read this and thought "wait, who is telling people I go around flashing people!?" <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Confused"><br><br>
Need more sleep!

 

I heard you were going to be one for Halloween too. Damn rumors! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br><br><img alt="" src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g254/mpfeiffer/flasher.jpg" style="border:0px solid;">

 

Mornin' Gang!<br><br>
Happy Friday!<br><br>
I am pleased to report that the gales of November have subsided, but, if I hear one more person say (with a straight face while looking at ALL THE FREAKIN' STANDING WATER ON THE GROUND) that we need the rain, I refuse to be held responsible for the consequences. Just sayin'.<br><br><b>Maureen</b> - It's nice to hear your words, my friend. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br><b>BigGJen</b> - tell DS that Mary said no to the camera - I'll be your bad cop. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br><br>
Morning <b>Solar</b>!!<br><br>
Morning <b>Jill</b>!<br><br><b>Maples</b> - WOOHOOO!! (And thank you for the lovely compliment, you are a sweetheart!)<br><br><b>Nettie</b> can play today - Yippee!!!<br><br>
Hey there <b>LLConciseberg</b>. . .<br><br><b>(((Litch)))</b> - hang in there. Hate the scale when it does that.<br><br><b>Tom</b>, as others have said - you're a good friend.<br><br><b>Tonya -</b> congratulations on finding those muscles again!!!! Now. . .if I could just find mine. . . <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br><b>QOD</b> - flip flops with dressier clothes. And the misuse of the word, borrow.<br><br>
Good luck to all our racers this week-end!!!!!<br><br>
Anyone got any interesting other plans? I hear <b>boB</b> might be bringin' home a baby. . . <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">

 

How about flippin' clipping nails during a church service!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAA<br><br><b>QOD</b> This might be to broad an answer but I think what gets me most is when people are blatantly inconsiderate. Some guy was in our office this week and tracked mud everywhere. We have multiple mats outside the main doors. Yet you can trace his every step. People who come in our office with little ones and get on the computer and ignore the kids for the rest of the time they are here. The kids screaming, yelling, running wild everywhere. grrrrrrrr People who come sit at your desk, then take a cell phone call in the middle of a conversation with me- and I am trying to help them get a job... Oh wait! Did I turn this question into "pet peeves at work?" LOL<br><br><br>
OOooooooooo, my "Bass for Dummies" book might come in this afternoon. It's been 3 days since it shipped from the Ebayer in loverly Pennsylvania. I might spend some of my evening playing around with the bass <i>if a woman doesn't fall out of the sky into my lap today</i>. (it's Friday right? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">)

 

<b>Kp</b> finally bought Into the Wild, started reading it last night, already love it!<br><br><b>Winter</b> feeling great, actually!!! After such a crappy first trimester, this is like a total switch!!! Much more energy and no sickness. I have been able to workout much more which may end up getting me in trouble. I gained what I think is good deal of weight the first 3 months, mainly cause I was just too tired to move!!! But now that I am able to workout and have been making healthier food choices, I have lost a couple of pounds. But in my legs, definately not in the belly region, that is definately still getting much bigger!!! I just want to make sure i stick to a healthy weight gain, the women in my family have a history of huge gains!!!

 

<br>
Oh dear. . . I am a Minnesotan. . .took me a minute to figure out you weren't talkin' fish. . .

 

The organist at the church I uses to go to did that all the time!! The echo was amazing too, but he obviously didn't care!!

 

<b>QOD</b> - the phrase "Can I ask you a question?" I hear it non-f*cking-stop from student athletes. Just ask me what you want to ask. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/evil7.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="evil5">

 

I'm glad to hear it's all going well now. Enjoy this trimester it is the best of the 3. Oh and we need tummy shots! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"> Once a month if you please!

 

<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"> I did exactly the same thing.<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.sportsmensgraphics.com/store/images/M-Largemouth_bass_decal-600.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"><span style="font-size:x-large;"><b>For Dummies.</b></span> Wah?

 

<br>
Better than, "Can I AXE you a question. . ." <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">

 

<b>Brandy:</b> Great minds. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"> Love it.

 

I am on the western side, south of Traverse City, a small town called Fife Lake.<br><br><b>QOD</b> the empty toilet paper roll not being replaced with a fresh roll of toilet paper.

 

Hey <b>KP,</b> Can I ask you a question? Do I need to ask you a question to ask you a question? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">

 

oh, here's another one: suppose<b><i>d</i></b>ly the word is spelled with a "d" however 99% of the people where I work think it is spelled with a "b"

 

Ouch - you guys got hit hard last night.

 

Busted.. Ok I can't tell a lie. You found me out.... I didn't buy a guitar.... I wanted to learn to fish so that I could come to up there and take you on a weekend, getaway fishing/camping trip up in the woods of Minnesota.

 

Yeah, I hate it when people are considerate like that. I'd much rather they <b>NOT</b> replace it. . .<br><br><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">

 

<b>Maples</b> I have to confess I thought the same thing...you were learning to bass fish. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">

 

You caught me before I went back to edit it! Dang boss interrupting my chat time.

 

Morning 30s. In a seminar today. Eating a scone, having coffee and playing on internet while pretending to listen to the speaker.<br><br>
MN peeps: I think I will sign up for the Freedom 10 mile. Who else is running it?
