<p>So far it's 5:12 am and I'm at work, I've been up since 4 after not really sleeping all night because of my sinuses and I just spilled 1/3 of my coffee directly in my purse.  That's 8 oz of coffee on my cell phone, charger, camera, check book and perscriptions. I'm hoping this isn't how today is going to go because IT'S FRIDAY and it's a FUNDAY! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>AND IT'S GIRLZ WEEKEND!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>we set up the camper last night and bought all of the food for the weekend so all we have to do when we get done with work is put out the awning and the camp chairs and chill out!</p>

<p>Hello ladies!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wippy yikes!!!!  But hope your weekend rocks!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ann enjoy your weekend love!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BigG LOVED the pics you posted yesterday, so happy things are going well!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Graduation was last night for DH's cousin.  DH's other aunt and fam were there but were sitting too far in the middle (we couldn't get there with our stroller).  But apparently she didn't feel like coming to say hi or meet the kids.  But I know when I see her Sat at the party she will give ME crap for not going to say hi to her.  Loser.  Anyway, grad was lovely and Rachel had to sing the alma mater with 3 others and she did a beautiful job.  Love that kiddo!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Getting the kids pics done tomorrow, should be interesting, I am planning 3 clothing changes and 2 locations.  I may be reaching on this one!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope everyone has a great weekend!!  And to all the men on here, an extra special weekend to you all, you are a truly amazing group of dads, uncles, cool guys, etc!!!    Happy Fathers day!!</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Hey, all.  Today is my Monday, since it's my first day in the office this week.  But hopefully by the afternoon it'll feel like Friday...  <span id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130831277148314"><img alt="biggrin.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130831277148313" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p>Hi guys- been MIA lately for a few reasons. Got put in charge of a huge project on 6/1 that goes live 7/1 (the current PM wasn't handling it well) so I'm off my regular job until 7/31 which is nice, but I'm also swamped.</p>
<p>Grayson is in physical therapy now and I also have to work with him a couple times a day. My grandpa died yesterday. Oh, and Emersen has her heart surgery on 6/30. </p>
<p>Good times. </p>

<p> </p>
<p>more teething in our home and just irritability and crankiness. theres a recent book written (with tons of expletives) that came out called "go the f**k to sleep", read <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGDm45niITI" target="_blank">here</a> by samuel l jackson. all you parents can relate exactly to it and all you non-parents will still find it entertaining. i found myself thinking GTFTS about 9 times last night.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>FUNNNNN weekend coming up - we have a wedding of 2 close friends and thus, TONS of family and friends coming into town. sooooo excited to see everyone and enjoy the weekend long festivities.</p>

[runningINnyc]

<p>Oh shit <strong>(((((((KJ)))))))</strong> ...sooooo sorry!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Missy</strong> - did your sis make it town safely?</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Big G</strong> - I'm keeping DS in my thoughts, very happy that things are turning around</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Winter</strong> - what a crap situation, I hope your birthday shines through!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great weekend <strong>Wippy</strong>!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fun:  a runner friend's father that passed away recently is being remembered in the first annual "Run for Bruce" tomorrow morning.  We'll start the run up in CP and head downtown, finishing off at PJ Clarke's in the World Financial Ctr for drinks and eats.  Can't wait!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fun:  planning a big weekend o' fun over 4th of July, in STL w/my family.  Just found out the tickets we scored for the Cards/Reds game on the 4th are in a PRIME location</p>

 

[clare]

<p><strong>Wippy</strong>...1/3rd of your coffee was 8 oz...so you had a 24 oz coffee?  It's that a BIG coffee?  Eeek!  I don't drink coffee so I'm likely missing something here in terms of coffee sizes!  <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>(((<strong>KJ</strong>)))</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sounds like some nice weekends on the way for people!  Enjoy!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Beaker</strong>, I have to get Evelyn's 18 month pics done.  I had some nice ones done of Lena when she was that age so I'd like to get some of Evelyn. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not sure what's up for the weekend.  Either my brother in law will show up to finish off the landscaping or we won't hear from him and it'll be yet another weekend wasted.  The pool guys are there today putting in the new liner, at least.</p>

 

[wipaddler]

<p>that is a big coffee for me considering I maybe have one 12 oz cup a month but I did get a cute purse out of the deal today!! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for all of the fun wishes!! It's going to be a blast.  Nice and relaxing</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>(((( KJ ))))) </strong> I hope everything goes well for you guys in the next couple of weeks!!  You seriously need a break!<br><br>

Too bad you'll be cheering for the wrong team! Go Reds!  and Happy Birthday to Papa Pfeiffer!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorry to hear that <strong>KJ</strong>...tough times all around.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Back in GR last night after a quick, unscheduled trip to Cincy (sorry <strong>Kath</strong> the times I passed through you would have been at work and I needed to get there/get back...we'll be coming through again in a few weeks and more depending on how quickly things go) just in time to get ready to fly to New Orleans on Sunday for a week.  Educational meeting Mon-Wed, touristy stuff Thurs/Fri.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice to see your DS coming around <strong>Goon</strong>!</p>

 

[Beaker]

<p><strong>KJ</strong> I somehow missed that E was needing surgery as well!  Many hugs to you momma!!! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I typically get either a 20 or 24oz coffee each morning.  Is that bad?!  ha!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Missy</strong> you have loads of fun on tap, NICE!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Colleen</strong> we are in the middle of a yard project too!  I begged DH to wait on the demo till we were closer to the install but he went ahead anyway!  Still about 2 more weeks to go before they come to install the new patio!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>KP </strong> THANK YOU!!!!!  Just saw your donation to my 3 Day walk!!  Speaking of...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am doing the 3 Day this year.  I am walking with my neighbor who is a cancer (not BC but still) survivor and in honor and memory of some amazing women.  If anyone can help out with donations, that would rock!!!!  Even if you feel that it isn't in the financial cards for you but you would like to add someone to my list of honor, please please do!!! </p>
<p> </p>

<p>Hi all - was swamped from the get-go here at work, so first time checking in today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>May meet up with the friend who's in the states from Australia tomorrow...or may not.  My brother is moving to some new digs tomorrow morning - I can't help with the lifting and moving part of it yet until the doc gives me clearance, but I have volunteered my services as either a food provider or a babysitter if my bro' needs it.  We shall see...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Geez, that bites!  <strong>(((((KJ)))))</strong> The mojo has gotta' turn around for you soon methinks - hoping for the best with everything</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>BigG</strong> - so glad to hear you and RJ are making humongous strides together <span id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130833455591215"><img alt="smile.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130833455591214" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Sounds like many of you have some fun things lined up - here's hoping for some fantabulousness for you all</span></p>

<p>You're welcome <strong>Beaker</strong>.  Made sure to do that, especially now since the parker family is 0-2 against cancer.</p>

 

[bard73]

<p>Crazy busy at work this week (I had over 40 hours by the time I left yesterday, which is not usual for me) and more again today.  But I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, just in time to be plenty busy with different stuff next week.  Next week begins freshmen orientation...<br>

I wondered if it was something like that when I saw your FB post the other day.  <span><img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"></span>  Your dad?</p>

<p>No use cryin over spilled coffee?  24 oz coffee is big, but there are days when it's not big enough!  I had two days this week that I wanted to stop for coffee, but couldn't get over to the correct lane in the stupid construction zone.   Boo! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I need to take DD to figure out something for Father's Day for DH.  We had one purchased planned, but he beat us to it!   We're going out for dinner at a place he requested, and will hopefully spend the day at the lake.    That said, happy early Father's Day to the dads and dads-to-be!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy early birthday to Winter!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great weekend everyone!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

 

[bard73]

<p> (((KJ)))  Forgot to send some love your way too.  I hope things settle down soon for you.</p>

 

[aemerryman]

<p>(((((KJ)))))  Oh, wow.  You need some big hugs!!!  Hope everything starts to turn around and you get a break soon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Made it to Atlanta just ahead of a MASSIVE thunderstorm!  Sideways rain right now....holy crow.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#0000cd;"><strong>QUESTION:</strong></span>  Who among you has a heart rate monitor?  Pros/cons of brands/features?  My dad graduated from cardiac rehab yesterday, and they *strongly recommend* he use one during any exercise.  I'm going to get him one for Father's Day, and wondered what you all thought.  All suggestions and info is appreciated!  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>thanks for the input peeps.  <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></p>

<p><strong>Ann</strong> - I have used a Polar stand alone model and liked it well enough.  Just a simple one with the ability to program zones (figure you will want that for your Pops).  The other one I have used is with a Garmin... seems overkill for your needs.</p>
