Jan 3 Fun (unless you're at work)

Nettie · Jan 3, 2011

Good morning! I hope to be around now that school is done. Also, I moved to MN and start working tomorrow.
 
(((Torque)))
(((Missy & AK)))
 
And for Ailarie, {{{earlier dental appointment}}}.

Ailarie · Jan 3, 2011

Howdy folks
 
Torque - I'm so sorry to hear the news. I hope peace and comfort come to your family.
 
Missybabe - I wish I had words of wisdom. If I lived in your neck of the woods, I'd come over and let AK scream at me for an hour or two so you could get some z's! Hope the caffeine loss might have a positive impact. To off-set it, if you haven't used those little B-12 energy shot drinks, you might want to give them a try for working nights!
 
Yah for a 10:30 dental appointment for me. (better than the 3:30 one I had) The last 24 hours have been better, but still nowhere near pain-free. I haven't run in almost a week because of this issue (NOT fun), and I'm so ready for this to be over, one way or the other!
 
Nettiebabe - good luck at the new job tomorrow! Joo are gonna rock!

More hugs and good thoughts to Torque and Missy. 
Boo for Monday.

phdatc · Jan 3, 2011

Good morning!
 
Busy-ish day yesterday so I didn't get a chance to check in. 
 
Torque - I am so sorry for your incredible loss. I hope you can find a peaceful moment or two in the next days and weeks.
 
Nettie - What's the jobby-job?

F.U.N. - I just got a message that my sweater pattern has been chosen for a knit-a-long on Ravelry. <img alt="banana.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif"> <img alt="banana.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif" style="border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;"> <img alt="banana.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif" style="border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;">
 
That's a good start to the week!!! And gosh, now I can't think of what else I have on tap today.

I'll take em. That's the most action I've seen all year!
 
Still no work for me. I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow. I've been sleeping in like a teenager for the last 2 weeks. 
 
Sorry to hear you aren't feeling all that chipper Maureen. 
 
Congrats, Katholeenie. ( I have to say, I've had that lovely orange shoulder wrap/shawl pullover number you showed us the other day on my mind since I saw it. Gorgeous!)

Auntie Moe · Jan 3, 2011

I failed to congratulate Nettie on her new job and Kath on her knitting pattern selection!

QOD: What do you do in your house when no one else is around? Me? I like to crank up my tunes and sing my guts out. This is a great joy of mine. Releases all my stress and since I don't EVER sing in front of anybody, it makes me feel like I'm getting away with something.

winter · Jan 3, 2011

Katholeenie: That one is very beautiful as well.

winter · Jan 3, 2011

Kath: What is the proper name for that orange number. I want one. I'm no where near the skill level that would allow me to make it myself. I was going to look to see if I could buy one somewhere. It would be perfect for work. The air vent is right above my desk and my shoulders are always freezing. I've taken to wearing a black hoodie in the office, which is fine when it's just us schmoos around. It makes me feel like a putz when someone from senior management comes around.

kjboston · Jan 3, 2011

hi everyone.....sorry I've been MIA. When we got home from the hospital, both my mom and Emersen had colds so I had to keep Grayson away from them...then I got the stomach flu and gave it to Grayson. Good times. My mom was supposed to leave last Friday but we changed her flight to stay until Wednesday since we were all sick so it's been good to have extra hands around.
Nettie- I've been wondering how you've been! Congrats on the job! Kath- beautiful sweater!

kjboston · Jan 3, 2011

Forgot to add- Sorry to hear the news Torque...you're in my thoughts. ((((((Missy and AK)))))). I've heard Ferberizing works. Shannon- I owe you a proper thank you, but for now, THANK YOU....what you did brought tears to my eyes. You're so thoughtful and considerate.

NCRG71 · Jan 3, 2011

You are so very welcome. I had such a ball that day! You have all been through so much - this is definitely thanks enough. I'm very happy to hear you are all home now <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;">

I was unplugged for all of vacation, which was so nice, but now I'm drowning in unread emails and a week's worth of threads. I hope you all had wonderful holidays.
 
(((((Torque)))))

Beaker · Jan 3, 2011

Hey folks!
 
Many hugs to Torque. Wishing you peace and comfort.
 
Missy I am so sorry AK is having such trouble. As for the crying it out, do it!! I have friend's who didn't and now they have kids that are 1 or 2 who still can't get to sleep without lots of intervention.
 
So far things are going well here. DH took another week off though. I think I overdid it throughout the holidays and really felt awful the last few days so he is sticking around to give me more down time. Colin is doing well depite some early issues, so we are relaxing a bit around here. Just hoping to get back into a regular routine this week, get Aiden to bed at a reasonable time and eat a real meal, we dream small these days

Ooops, baby crying, gotta run!!

runningINnyc · Jan 3, 2011

Monday it is... I'll try to be happy about it. Coffee helps. Also booking tickets for a friend's wedding Mexico, helps. 
 
(((Torque))) you and your family are in my thoughts.
 
Kristi - how is Grayson doing? I hope you're feeling better soon.
 
Missy - you are growing stronger, you are growing stronger ...a mantra for you. I hope AK settles down
 
QOD - I'm also a tunes cranker and singer. I like to dance a bit while doing mundane tasks like scrubbing the tub or folding laundry, sometimes I make Dillon [the cat] dance with me. He loves it! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> Another thing I def do more when no one else is around is make "interesting" snacks, stuff that doesn't go together (for good reason) and thoroughly enjoy it.

runningINnyc · Jan 3, 2011

Congrats to Nettie on the move and the new jobby job!!!! We miss seeing you around here!

Jan 3 Fun (unless you're at work)
