Nice! :confused:

Kat~ I guess you only had one choice! Nice visual!! I don't know that I could have caught the darn thing! Glad that he found a home - never in my house, but I guess someone has to love em! When I was in college one of the girls in our sorority house had a pet snake - it escaped one night and we had to search for 2 days to find it. Ewww! I hate snakes! After she found him he went home to her house and we wrote up a new policy of absolutely no pets in the house! That was horrible!

Kat~ I am with Plain, I would be frozen in place and unable to move if I saw a great big ol' trantula - arachnaphobia (sp)! Eww! Michelle~ It was awesome meeting you early this fall. I enjoyed putting a face and personality to the online you that I feel I know so well! Fanny~ yeah on the PS! I hope that all goes well for you! You will be fine with the unfill - sounds like you are pretty focused on your weight goal. Wouldn't want to ruin that, so be strong, meet the goal, get the PS and be a more amazing you! We had a great Thanksgiving. It is nice not to eat until you go into a coma! I enjoyed just chatting with my family - we went to my parents house and my brother and nephew were there. My SIL and niece stayed home, she had to drive over the mountain and drive right back and we were supposed to get a snow storm, so she backed out. My brother was over here hunting so he stayed for dinner. Today we are doing turkey dinner at home. DH loves leftovers so we are making our own turkey dinner. So much food! DD is home from college, nice to have her back in the house for a few days! Miss having her around. Hope all of you that went shopping this morning survived!

Good morning everyone. I miss you all and thought I would check in and see how things are going.

GA~ Thanks for the fanny kick! So we got a weather warning for an Arctic front moving in, supposed to be down in the teens tonight, so no running. I ended up removing all the irrigation pipe, draining hoses and putting them away and mowing today. It had better be really cold tonight or I will be really mad!

Hey All! Been out for awhile - I miss catching up with everyone! Welcome to all the new runners! You are starting a great program. I have been a little lax on running lately - not good. The time commitment with school has been a bit overwhelming. I also really love trail running and it snowed last Sunday! Crazy! So a lot of the trails I run at higher altitudes are not so easy to run right now! I am going to try and get a good trail run in today and get back in the swing of things. Even if that means only running 3x a week. I need to hit the road and get over it. I will probably only do 3 miles today, it has been two weeks (can't believe I just said that!) since I last ran. Oh my - Kathy, GA - I need a swift kick in the fanny! Hope everyone has a great run today!

Bill you rock! I am so excited for you and yes, I will follow you on twitter! That is pretty cool that they are doing updates - how fun is that. I wish they would do that for marathons, my DH runs and it would be nice to know at what point he is so I know when and where to meet him along the course! I need to get my fanny back out and running. Starting school back up has put a cramp in my motivation. It has been hard to get out to the trails, so I just need to give it up and hit the road! DH and I are trying to get in a trail run today. We have the day off; had parent conferences yesterday evening, so we got the day! Yeah! We will try to run up high, but we have had snow, so not really sure where we will go until we head up the highway! Hope everyone has a great run!

Purple~ you are getting great advice from everybody! I would like to add that you are not only doing yourself a favor by investigating weight loss surgery, but you are doing your children a favor. When you lead a healthy lifestyle, your children learn to lead a healthy lifestyle. You will not be passing your bad habits on to your children. I only wish that I had my band placed sooner!

Kathy~ Good luck and go for it! The adrenalin will push you along during the race. Also, don't forget to have some fun! Sounds like your reunion was fun! I was a band geek in high school - played the flute. I can't imagine even trying to play again, it has been sooo long!

Good morning. Hoping for a very low key day! A little bit of mowing and house cleaning, but nothing else on the agenda. DS is off with his best buddy to watch the Oregon game today. They should have fun! DD will be at the OSU game today. Hope she has a blast, it is their first Pac 10 game and all the kids are back at school - should be fun for her! Woke up to a ton of smoke, wish the wind would change directions. It is really annoying! I want to run, so I will see if the wind changes directions this afternoon and maybe head up to the mountains. Michelle - not sure exactly where the fire is, but it is coming from the south, think it is in the Gilchrist area.

Fanny~ Glad you had a great B-day! Sounds very romantic!

Michelle~ Racoons are scary - mean little buggers! They love Cheez-its and tried to attack DH and I many years ago when we were camping. Glad you and DD were able to sleep in a little. Crzy~ Hope you are feeling better soon! I do not want to get sick!!!! I'm handing out the Colorox wipes for the computers, wiping down the desks, hand sanitizer set out in strategic locations and handing out Kleenex as they walk through the door! Germs - ewww! Hair Color~ Scares me everytime I have it done, but I can't stand the gray! Suzy~ Have fun tonight at the jewelry party! PJTP: Good to see people joining in! Thanks for the hugs for the doggie! It was a long hard day and I am glad that it is Friday and we don't really have any plans this weekend. Spend some time lovin' on the other dogs and just relax. I am planning on a 5-6 mile run tomorrow. See how the weather is and what direction the smoke is blowing. We have been getting heavy smoke from a fire south of us, no fun to run and breathe that in!
