Here we go my "steadies." Post away.

So what did you respond to him in the email? Did you tell him he's a scumbag for hitting on you when he's MARRIED!??

Here is what I wrote back for those of you who want to know. I was nice about it. Not really my place to lecture him, and it is not like he would have listened anyway! :-) So, here is my very nice answer.

Szymon,

Well, allow me to politely decline.

I am a very respectable woman with tremendous amount of class. I could not in good conscience accept your offer... out of respect for both you and your wife. It is too bad that you are married. You were such a pleasure to talk to.... refreshing, confident, very educated, informed. You are very inquisitive and insightful. It was very nice carrying on a conversation with someone that possessed those qualities. I am not sorry I said yes. Just disappointed that I won't have the opportunity to sit and chat with you again.

I wish you luck in your search. I am sure if you check out a few local clubs tonight and tomorrow... you will find your type of lucky lady before you leave. She would be crazy to say "no" right?

Unfortunately for you, yes, I am crazy.

And, the answer is still a firm "no"

It was a pleasure meeting you.

--Brandi

good for you brandi! Your decline was classy

Nikki- hi!

Sweethot: hope you get your Bugg soon! And glad to hear the hubby gets to stay put for at least a little longer.

VA: I'm waiting with baited breath to hear about the interview.

StephC: you look GREAT!

BooBoo: Sorry I missed your call, I was in girl's deer camp myself until yesterday. Didn't see a thing, but one of us got a small doe. She's the one who has already taken two bucks this year, wench! :girl_hug: I'm very glad to hear the DH is starting to wake up (hopefully he's sincere) and smell the Folgers brewing. I agree with you, this last attempt is worth it. If for nothing else but the girls. If it doesn't help, then you know you have tried EVERYTHING, if it turns things around, then WOOHOO!

Happy early birthday! Tell Faith I'm sorry I missed her BDay and I hope it was a good one (from one Faith to another, ya know).

Brandi: You are a Hottie McHottie, I know why those men flock to you! And for me the four guaranteed things wrong with a man I met were: Married, Gay, Too Old or Perverted. Once I actually had all four, I ran screaming!

Haven't lost a pound in three months, kinda coincides with me stopping exercising. Life got REALLY hairy and busy as heck there for a while, and it still is. But I really noticed it at deer camp. The first day I had to stop three times to rest on my walk up the hill out of the woods. By the last time I came out, I could make it the whole way without resting, but I was huffing and puffing. I'm getting back in the game, TODAY.

Hey my Faith2--

It is ok you haven't lost anything, I know you ahve been focused on the things that have really needed your attention! I am glad you are ready to get back to it, it wouldn't work any other way! Sorry no big buck for you baby!

GOOD LORD it is getting hot in here!

I step away from my girls for just a few days and LOOK at the drama I come back to! LOL...

Brandi--OMG, you are such a personality and gorgeous woman I see why he couldn't help but being pulled to your magnetic self! Sorry the Hottie is a SNOTTIE. You think he is a bad husband, umn yeah! lol...good for you not beig THAT kind of girl. Where is your damn Marine when you need him???

BK--that is completely awsome you were asked, quite an honor! Congrats!

I am cramming for finals next week, so I maybe AWOL some more my girls. I miss you all terribly.

I am enjoying my last days of 30 as wel...soon you will see my age change. FUCK....that is all I have to say about that... :girl_hug:

OMG--I am developing bony knees! Can you believe it? :faint:

(I know, I know--I REALLY need to get a life)! :doh:

I whacked my knee on one of my lower cupboard doors this morning. I decided to check out how bad the bruise is so I just pulled up my pant leg to check it out. Lo and behold--I have bones in my knees! :wow2:

Obviously, I don't spend a whole lot of time ogling my knees! LOL!

By the way, sorry to hear about the computer woes! That's a major bummer! :think

I got out there and raked leaves today with my son and got the whole front yard done! I didn't even feel like I was going to have a coronary! :whoo:

just a few little NSV's that I have been noticing for a while now and I thought I'd share.

1. not taking up an entire seat in the car! I used to notice skinny people still had room on the seat, my giant legs overlapped the seat. now I have seat left to see!

2. When i get out of the car, my thighs don't scrape the steering wheel, been that way for a while, but i just noticed that I no longer tilt the wheel up to get out.

3. I don't get stuck in my patio chairs anymore, there is room.

4. at the movies, my arms don't automatically go for the armrest because i'm so wide, i can comfortable put my arms at my sides.

5. I can wear my cute 3 inch stilettos for more than 5 minutes without my ankles swelling over them.

6. I can see my feet.

7. I can sleep on my side or back without it aching

..just to name a few.

Sweet...what GREAT NSVs!!!

I went for a 4 mile hike yesterday and MAN am I feelin it today!! But...I'm just glad that I can get out there and do it and not die! LOL

Guess what all.....I GOT A JOB OFFER!!! FINALLY!!!! It is a Temp to perm position, but it will be good b/c it's a long commute for me so I'll be able to try it out and see if I can handle it while still looking for something else, but I'll have income coming in!! YEAH!!!!! Thanks to all of you for the good vibes, thoughts and prayers!!! I'm sooooo happy and relieved! Now I can go xmas shopping!!! :confused:

Hope you're all having a good weekend! back later...

VABandster--CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm so excited for you! :wow2:

sweethot--Great NSVs! A couple of them made me chuckle--it's so true!

BooBooKitty--Good luck on your finals! I feel your pain! The good news is that once you're done it's holiday time!!! Oh yeah--about your age...the good news is that you'll still be closer to 30 than 35. I'm going to be 42 this year, but I'm still happy because I'm closer to 40 than 45! LOL!

good morning ladies!

VA - yipee for the job!!! I'm so happy for you, best of luck and when do you start?

Sweet - way to go with the nsvs! I've noticed simular things too. I totally love crossing my legs and sit with them crossed all the time. More then anything I feel like I'm normal now -size wise - we all know I'll never really be normal - hehe - before I felt sloppy and that no matter what I did I looked sloppy - now I can be sloppy - sweats and a tshirt - and feel like I look ok.

I'm still holding steady at 168-169 but my clothes are feeling looser on me. My pants I wore yesterday had been feeling alittle snug in the butt and yesterday they were nice and comfy. I can't seem to find my notebook that has all my measurements in it - hmmmm.

Bk - good to hear from you girlfriend! How's the new house? I hope you pop in more now.

Nikki - sorry to hear of the busted computor! The same thing happened to my dd - she didn't remember doing anything to break it and it ended up costing hundreds to get it fixed. I'd just get a new one - thankgoodness for Santa Claus!

Whats everyone wanting for Christmas this year? I have told everyone - mainly dh - that I want gift cards for clothes. But I'd also like a stained glass window. I saw one at an older ladies house and she had it hung in front of another window - do you know what I mean? Anyway it was so pretty. But clothes are good!

week 6 workout one done! i love running!

Steph....I'm not sure yet when I start, didn't hear from the recruiter today, but I will touch base w/her tomorrow. I'm hoping either Wed. or Thurs of this week.

For xmas, I really want a wine rack, a new digital camera and Gift cards for new clothes of course!

Sweet....YEAH!! Glad to hear you actually like running now! that is awesome!

I went on a 4 mile hike this weekend and am still recovering, I can't imagine running! lol
