<p>oh ok - guess my title isn't too inviting...boo</p>
<p> </p>
<p>anywho...I had a horrible night sleep.  I probably got about 3 hrs total.  Every dream was a nightmare about being late for work and every one was being later for work than the last one. I was also hot, then cold, then hot, sweaty (girl thing I'm sure) and I woke up at 230 with a migraine.  It took me about an hour to get back to sleep after an excedrin and then the cat decided it was time to get up at 430...(which means nonstop mewing for no reason).  I had to be up at 530.  Now I have a splitting headache, it hurts to blink, i am sick to my stomach from the headache, etc.  :(</p>

<p><strong>(((Brandy)))</strong> hope you feel better.  I thought moopy was a great word, I just didn't have a chance to post.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My niece turns 3 today, so I'm going to my sister's house for a little birthday party after work.  Her due date was actually Christmas Eve, I think, but my sister had to have a C-section anyway so she scheduled it for a week earlier.  Her goal is to not let Norah's birthday ever be overlooked in the whole Christmas rush.  I got her a princess hat and some feather boas.  She is getting a trunk of princess dress up clothes for Christmas so this will be a nice complement to that. </p>

<p><strong>(((((((((((((Brandy)))))))))))) </strong>- that sucks.  I hope you sleep better tonight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rest day for me, so I slept in a bit this morning.  I did do my arm weights though for the first time in about 2 months.  Sheesh.  Time to get back at it.  I am a bit head achy today too - hopefully it will pass soon!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope you are all having a wonderful Monday.</p>

<p>Add me to the tired crew- I slept poorly then woke up at 4:30 b/c Gray was crying and never went back to sleep. Will do a spin class this morning and Bikram this afternoon so hopefully I'll muster up some energy.</p>

<p>((((<strong>Brandy</strong>))))  To answer your question, no.  But, I also haven't had <span style="color:#ffffff;">PMS</span> for a while due to the <span style="color:#ffffff;">birth control pills</span> I'm on.  Sorry.  I hope you feel better soon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well, it's official.  I have the plague.  Thankfully it's all in my sinuses and not in my throat or lungs, but I still feel terrible, despite tons of sleep.  I'll put off Pumpkin cookies for another day, though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did meet with my trainer this morning, though.  It was really hard.  Kettle balls, lunges, jump robe, lunges, upright rows, lunges, triceps thing, lunges, ab leg lifts, lunges.  It was supposed to be x3, but I only went x2.2.  I actually started to cry in the middle.  It didn't help that my legs were jelly and I was having a hard time breathing.  Of course, I don't think that the scale has moved at all.  Early days though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I feel wiped out.  Moopy it is.</p>

<p>Greetings, all</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(((((((((( <strong>Brandy</strong> ))))))))))))))))  hope you're feeling better soon!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ooouuch here.  4 hours of yardwork = sore back & shoulders.  oofth.  The legs get a rest tonight.  I should do arms, but I feel that my upper body may go on strike if I push much more.  I'll get back on weights on Wednesday, and next Sat/Sun (weather permitting), I'll be back in the yard again.  Gotta get as much of that pine straw cleared as possible before the tree stump grinder guy comes out.  I was tripping all over the place yesterday, so i can't wait until that area is nice and smooth. </p>

<p>Mornin' moopies  <img alt="coffee.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1324307486878_162" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/coffee.gif">   Add me to the shite sleeping crew; I kept having dreams that involved user interface thoughts, undoubtedly brought on by the Steve Jobs book + my work stuffs; crazy irritating!  I also woke up with a killer headache and couldn't quite get comfortable.   Pushed myself out of bed, way too late, and got a 6 miler in; that helped a bit.   </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Brandy</strong> - I get crazy night sweats, haven't really matched it to a calendar but undoubtedly related</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD</strong> - who has holiday travel plans?  Anyone taking all/part of the next couple weeks off?   </p>

<p>I do have a funny kitteh story for you all... my sister and her boyfriend have been packing up their apt in San Francisco (they start their travels to the Midwest today!) and they have an adorable cat named Z.  Z is pretty chill most of the time, spends a fair amount of time outside, normal kitteh.   She's sensed that things are changing, it wouldn't be hard w/a shit-ton of boxes all over the place but anyway the other day she tried to run up the chimney to escape.  <img alt="laughing7.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1324307907385_163" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/laughing7.gif"></p>

<p>Good morning, y'all. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Feel better, <strong>Brandy</strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It seems like all the guys are skipping the thread today, so if you guys want to talk about <span style="color:#ffffff;">PMS</span> and <span style="color:#ffffff;">whatever else happens to wimmins</span>, I guess you can go do that...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I didn't sleep all that great last night either.  Still fighting some kind of cold, I guess.  I didn't run a heck of a lot last week.  I think I need about 60 more miles this year to get a new high for a year.  Shouldn't be too hard, but I gotta get out there.  Hopefully I'm not too wiped out today.  I'm gonna try for 8-10 this evening.  Haven't decided if it'll be on the hills, or something fast at the park...</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#006400;"><strong>Maria</strong></span>, how far up the chimney did the kitty get? </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>QOD</strong>:  As always, we're having Christmas at our house.  And as always, this is stressing out my wife.  I keep telling her that one of these years, the three of us can go to Hawaii or something for Christmas, and the rest of the family can fend for themsleves.  Hasn't happened yet though...  The only days I'm taking off from work are the next two Mondays (national holidays when we'll be closed) and next Wednesday.  I'm only taking that day off because I've scheduled a couple of doc appts, and I still have plenty of vacation days to burn...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Crazy day in the NFL yesterday.  The Colts won and the Packers lost!  It's like it's 2005 all over again! </p>

<p>Feel better, <strong>Brandy!</strong>  My body is a mess, so I get all of it.  I'll spare everyone the details, but suffice it to say that God is not a woman.  If he were, we [women] wouldn't have to deal with this shit every month.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ran 9.1 slow yesterday and 4 tempo this morning.  It was cold today (26 with a wind chill of 22), so I planned my class accordingly...  no stopping, drills at the end.  For the run, I thought we'd do 1 minute pickups with 2 minutes at base pace after each one, 10 total (with a little warm-up, I figured this would be a good workout for our 4 mile loop).  Well, we set out and 2 of my regular girls sped to the front and set the pace...  WAY faster than I had intended!  So I scrapped my plan and we did a tempo run instead.  4 miles in 32:58. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In other news...  Due to scheduling, I wasn't able to have a cookie swap this year, so it was up to me to bake enough variety to make my cookie gifts interesting.  This weekend I baked:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Russian tea cakes</p>
<p>sugar cookies (snowflake and candy cane cutouts)</p>
<p>white chip dream cookies</p>
<p>chocolate peppermint patty sandwich cookies</p>
<p>pecan caramel bars</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was still baking at midnight last night and finished with the final touches at 7:15 this morning (after my run).  <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1324309391912_151" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span>  So far they're a hit. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Love,</p>
<p>Betty Crocker</p>

<p><strong>QOD</strong>: I am driving to PA this Thursday and will be there until I drive back (with my mom) on Jan. 5.  Thankfully I have a job where that's doable.  I'll spend some time at my sister's since 5 kids and no one in school is a little overwhelming.</p>

<p>Hello moopies.  I love vocabulary extensions :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Our holiday travel started this past weekend.  We went to Indy Friday night for dinner and Million Dollar Quartet with my college roomie.  Back home that night, then traveled to northern Indiana to meet one of DH's fraternity brothers and family for hotel swimming, and Miracle on 34th Street.   Back home the next morning, then back to Indy for some shopping and Papaw's 83rd birthday dinner.    I managed to get quite a bit of laundry and housework done in between trips.  Now, I'm moopy :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We'll have Christmas with MIL on Thursday night.  The kids are staying at her house that night, so I'll have Friday morning to finish all of the Christmas to-dos. Friday night is dinner at Papaw's, Saturday morning birthday breakfast for my aunt.  Then we travel north to DH's grandma's, and spend the day and evening there.   We usually get home for Midnight mass.   Christmas Day breakfast at Papaws, and the majority of the day there.  Best Friend will be home from Boston Fri-Mon, so we need to figure out when to see her during that time too.   Mon-Wed are business as usual, then we're going to Chicago and Wisconsin Dells with another fraternity brother and family.   New Years will be at home, sleeping!</p>

<p>Moopy indeed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I had a very busy, unrestful weekend.  Fun, but exhausting.  Fri night I had a quick bite at my friend's house, then went to my sister's til 11:30 to help her make hair accessories to sell at the Holiday Fair on Sat.  I was involved with the Fair itself, so I was at the theatre at 7:30 Sat morning to set up.  Was there all day (although my friend Brian and I did get out for lunch and bopped around Centre St to do some window shopping when we weren't desperately needed onsite.)  My father came in to mind my sis' kids for the afternoon, so I ended up going out to dinner with them, then I ran home at 8:30, took a shower and went to two parties, and got home at midnight. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sun, I was at the theatre around 8:30, there most of the day, went home to drop some stuff off at 3:30 and was out the door on my way to go caroling with my old friend, about an hour away.  This is the woman who was angry with me. I was worried as I was driving I'd fall asleep (or rather, I was actually starting to fall asleep and wondered if I should turn around and go home.)  I started to cry the moment I walked through the door of her sister's house...these are people that were like a second family to me forever, and I hadn't seen them in 3 years.  Beth's youngest is almost 3 and I hadn't even met him before. :(  Thank god, this time, it was like we'd never missed a beat, and fell right back into being our old selves. I've known Beth since we were 8 (35 years!), and I've really missed her friendship.  Of course, crying when her brother in law said hello was a little embarrassing...but Bill's a lovely man and just gave me a hug, told me he knew I'd had a hard year, kept his arm around my shoulder while he asked Peg (Beth's sister) to get me a tissue.  I guess I didn't realize how much they all mean to me til I was there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still, by the time I got home, it was 9:30 and I had to write my bills.  I had a screaming headache and was nauseous when I went to bed at 10:30, which was no fun at all.  At least I slept through the night.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>((((((((((((((((Brandy, Maria, and everyone else who's ailing.)))))))))))))))))))))))))</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have issues with temp all the time...gotta say, I was grateful this month when I started having hot flashes, since the last two months of my cycle have been hellish (so bad I ended up at the ER)...over the last few years, hot flashes mean no TOTM. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>QOWE:  I don't really have anything.  So much has changed for me, that nothing is the same for my Christmas.  I don't even put up stockings anymore, and I used to love opening stocking gifts.  Although one thing I look forward to every year is my grandmother's cookies and apparently, since she's feeling so good after her heart procedure, she's been baking up a storm!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>QOD:  No travel plans.  As I've mentioned, although the University is closed, I have to be at work Tues, Wed, and Thurs to be on call for presidential requests and no amount of whining is making my boss give in to only having a skeleton staff.  Last year, we had enough to do to fill 30% of the time...this is why I am BS.</p>

I'm sure he is, the dude is mega-prepared.  He'll be stopping off to visit some friends along the way so hopefully he'll miss the really bad stuff.   Thanks for the link!</p>
