    Oh gosh - forgot to say @Tubbs216 - You must be so proud of your oldest for going through with such a grown up interview! I hope he gets the job.

    Great news that your daughter's tests came back normal! Excellent!

    I must admit that the name "clotted cream" makes me gag. I have this horrible aversion to milk specifically because it gets all clumpy and sooooo groooosssss when it starts to spoil. So "clotted cream" translates into "rotten nasty milk" for me.

    The worst part is that I've never actually tried clotted cream, as it's not a thing here in the US. I bet I'd LOVE it if I tried it elsewhere AND if they didn't tell me that's what I was eating. Just call it... ummm... buttery pudding... or sweetened cream.... or... well, anything but "clotted". Hee hee

    I wish I could send you all some clotted cream

    I have never had a desire for clotted cream. ..sounded disgusting. When I am in London next year I now vow to try it.

    Oh yes you will! If I can persuade you down to Devon for s couple of days, I will take you for the best cream tea ever at ny favourite café on the cliffs.

    I WANT to go to Devon! I want to meet Charlie and yet to be named baby girl and go to the zoo and check it all out! I have to get a Scotland/England guidebook and start reading up.

    We will put Devon on the itinerary, and anywhere else you want to go. And you Can meet my babies and.we'll take them to the zoo. And Windsor Castle tower of London, Hampton Court, Highclere house (Downton abbey) Covent garden,

    I would like to go to Dover too. Is that do-able?

    Dover is opposite side of the south of England to Devon. You wouldn't day-trip it. But you could feasibly do Dover from London in a day if that were your main place to see. Will anyone make it up north in their perfect trip to the UK? We have some stunning scenery round the Peak District. Just be sure to bring your brolly.

    Hello everyone. I haven't been very active recently, but I have been reading along. Am struggling a bit at the moment, for no particular reason. I really need to get back to exercising, but seem to have mislaid my motivation.

    Me too! Hopefully now that stitches are out and I am green lighted to exercise again I'll get my mojo back. Anything I can do to help?

    Great to hear your stitches our out! Any big races coming up?

    Ironman Wisconsin in 3 weeks. Yikes! Why why why don't I train?!!! (That procrastination piece I mentioned).

    I can't imagine trying that without training but yay!! you'll be in my neck of the woods :)

    It's not fun. Where are you?

    I miss you all terribly, but I will be ever so busy with work, that I won't have a lot of time to chat during the day. I will try to check in at lunch and after work at home. I hope you all had a great weekend. Anyone on vacation (@FroggyBug and @jthurman3) I hope you have the best time, and everyone else has a great week. I'll catch you all later.

    I put a juicy confession in the batcave.

    *Hopes it involves the imminent purchase of a sailing vessel*

    All this London talk makes me sad I miss my SO so much :(

    Aww. When are you planning to go back? Is he going to come back to visit you in the states?

    We have a weekend trip to meet in Chicago for a few days in mid October and then he'll come back at the end of December for about 10 days like he did last year! Until one of us moves we have to go back and forth every so often :(

    OK, I've not been keeping up in here very well but wanted to say hi and share a funny (to me at least) confession:

    For about the last week every morning when I get my breakfast I sing in my head "And now that I'm grown I eat four dozen eggs..." a la Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. Clearly I'm thinking hard about my protein intake :)

    Hope everyone is doing well (I was also part of the hungover group on Saturday...Lentil Festival beer garden got me).

    That really sucks. :( At least that gives you more reason to go back to London.

    I was hungover yesterday...anyone else in the Sunday group?? I spent the whole day recovering...which means I didn't go to the gym. So I'm going today to make up for it.

    @Tubbs216 and @riderfangal I hope this wasn't close to you yesterday!!

    I don't think it was, my friend on fb was kind of vague except it was Alberta and he was on the yellowhead.
    Not where I was, thank goodness! It rained all day and was quite chilly, but no snow. Today was warm and sunny again - we've had a fabulous summer - so I'm in denial that winter is ever coming.

    No snow here either thankfully! It was pretty cool on Friday, but not that cool!

    No hangover for me! I finally caught up on sleep though, so that was nice...people probably thought I was hungover since I slept about 15 hours!

    I was out drinking on Saturday night as well (for my cousin's stagette) but I paced myself and drank lots of water in between drinks so I wasn't hungover. I hate being hungover so I was glad I avoided it!

    Cool! It's a lot of fun as a spectator. You might end up wanting to try one! Of course if you have no interest in tris it might not be fun... Madison is a great one. Lots of great spectators.

    Half the thread was hungover Sunday. Everyone tied one on. I didn't tho, I'll join Laura in that one. :)

    ETA I typed the wrong day...

    Got the little one off for her first day ever and it went ok. No tears amazingly. Lunch time shows up and I get a pizza, thinking it is 330cal for the whole thing, nope, two servings and yes I ate it all. Guess my fitbit better get ready to rack up some steps!!

    Can I just second this. It's kind of crazy around here. We just finished a huge expansion project(s) and now it's time to set everything in motion so for the next little while my posting will be limited :(

    You can do it!!! You're organized and doing something that you WANT to do. Putting my professor hat on, students who are working towards something they want to do is one of the biggest predictors of success that I've seen.

    My niece just watched that Full House episode the other night.

    As long as you don't go to school in a formal dress like Stephanie wanted too then you should be fine :).
