    - Making the effort to put on makeup every morning before work.
    - Laughing at my goofy grand daughters!
    - Watching NCIS - I do pant a lot watching Gibbs!
    - Paying bills
    - Yawning (do a lot of that after 8pm)
    - Sneezing (Spring allergies)
    and finally,
    - Snoring (my husband says I snore like it's a competition and I'm determined to win!)

    Tickling. My husband and I get into tickling fights almost daily. I hate it because it's so unfair. He just holds both of my wrists with one of his hands and I can do nothing about it. :P :)

    And currently... unwrapping easter candy can count too, right? ;)

    Dancing to LMFAO in my car. :)
    And then laughing to tears at the looks people in other cars give me when we pull up to a stop light.

    Going to the grocery store - getting to the end and realize you need something from the OTHER SIDE of the store... TWICE!

    convincing hubs to go to the grocery store cuz we just need a few veggies to last until next payday (even though he thinks frozen corn every night is just fine). going to the store, getting home, unpacking and properly storing veggies only to find out that the one you really needed (carrots), you walked right by at the store without a second glance! convincing hubs to stop at the store on his way home from work tomorrow to get the gd carrots... oh, and some olive oil mayo (just ran out).

    Chasing one of the kids who has something they shouldn't have and won't give it back.

    typing and using the mouse.

    picking up toys 492 times a day.

    telling hubby to pick up his dirty socks. yelling and jumping telling him to pick up dirty socks. squating, picking up his dirty socks and putting in dirty laundry

    brushing, flossing and rinsing teeth 4 times a day (don't ask, dentist instructions)

    walking up and down the stairs to our 2nd floor apt.

    walking back and forth across apartment opening windows repeatedly since a certain boy likes to close them....

    And MOST of all, changing my 5 y/o's sheets (top bunk...)

    Hurdle climbing over all the baby-gates that seem to be in every doorway. That is an all day long activity. lol Being the horsey for the toddler. That is a lot of work, since once around the living room is never, ever enough. Tee-hee.

    1) I want calorie burn credit for hitting the down key on my laptop to read the message board topics
    2) I want calorie burn credit for each text I sent my husband today.

    My fingers are losing fat and gaining lean muscle :bigsmile:

    Walking to the wrong spot where the water cooler used to be (they moved it two years ago, I still haven't been able to rewire for that change!)

    Pacing in front of the bathroom at my work that is ALWAY occupied, during the 20 visits daily that I make after making the detoured trip to the water cooler many time....

    Running from my car to my house 3 times daily for the things I forgot, then once or twice again for things my kids forgot.

    Running up the 3000 stairs at South Station through the building and down a platform trying to catch my train....

    running between the closet and bathroom to see if you like what you're wearing and then running back to the closet to find something else to put on. oh yeah, this cycle continues for at least 3 outfits.:laugh:

    because they all look so HAWT now!!! YEAH babay!

    Picking my son's shoes up from where ever he decides to leave them and putting them outside his bedroom door. There's a certain area inside the front door, next to the wall and out of the way that he's supposed to leave them and he never does. Drives me nuts so I put them right in front of his bedroom door to make a point.

    Ah, I forgot about running my mouth - so I guess I am still a runner!!

    I would like to get credit for not yelling at my kids when they drive me nuts. I also think you should get extra calories for going to workout when you really dont feel like it.

    Lol...I do this, but run from the bedroom to the kitchen...I don't know why, but I like my mirror in the kitchen....Mine also adds up to 4-6 different outfits.

    I think us ladies should get three times the calorie burn when we have to exercise during TOM!

    *Potty training the dog - in and out, in and out, in and out
    *Cleaning the floor when potty training fails
    *Cleaning the wall because the puppy must back up against it while having his accident
    *Did I mention cleaning the rug when potty training fails
    *Lugging the disgusting rug out to the trash can after the 25th failure. Didn't like that rug anyway.:noway:
