    Soooo... Today was a fail. I've been horribly depressed and spent most of the day ugly-crying in my bed, almost hysterically at one point so that I couldn't breathe at all and started wheezing like I was dying. Good times. And then Mr. Susie and I went to Tamimi and bought baking ingredients and made cookies AND brownies. Yay me?

    Oh, and the best part? I have NO idea why I was crying. At all. I just woke up completely depressed with no known reason.

    Sorry your day was so lousy... hope Tuesday is MUCH better!
    So I'm at the ER with hubby right now. He's been having chest pains all day and I didn't want to chance it. :worried:

    Good call. Men can be so dismissive about health concerns. Better safe than sorry!

    Hope everything is okay...

    I am really tempted to book my flight to Nashville, as a training incentive. But i'm worried about booking a flight and not a hotel. and I don't know how long to go for.

    That would do need to figure out. I do that all the time, book things as an incentive. And then don't train. ;) it doesn't always work. Are there any half marathons locally in Dec you can start training for as a shorter term objective? Or even a 10k in like Oct or nov?

    Its going to cost me nearly £1000 in flights and hotel (about $1500) for a week. It better be a beeping incentive!

    there is windsor half marathon on 27th September, but I'll have been back from holiday for 2 days, so i think that will be beyond me.

    there is a 5/10/15/20km walk/run/jog at Eton Dorney on 23rd January.

    So after my sweet dog passed away on August 1, my mom and I (mainly my mom) decided to have her cremated. We were able to have her paw print made so we would always have that with us, as well. We got her ashes a week after she passed, but we just picked up her paw print that was made, and I almost started bawling my eyes out while leaving the vet.

    (((Hugs))) to you!

    My vet doesn't do the paw prints... I've never heard of this before... I like it.

    Would you like a gross confession? I will give you a gross confession. Don't say I didn't warn you.

    There's this thing called 'baby brain' or 'pregnancy brain' which I thought was a bit of a myth but might just have something to it. I've found myself of late nearly leaving the house with no shoes on, or putting the milk in the oven and other such random things. I put it down to having more important/interesting/cute things to think about.

    Well the other night I went for a pee but forgot to pull my knickers down! I pulled down my trousers and just plain forgot I had knickers on at all. In my defense, they were tiny knickers and I can't see past my bump anymore. But still. Gross. Only noticed when I went to wipe. Argh! Knickers went straight in the washing machine. Thank goodness it was only a number one (they'd have gone in the bin!).

    Told you it was a gross confession.

    HAHAHA this is so funny.

    Gross confession: I did something similar once, but mine was because of alcohol... :blush:

    I am really embarrassed now that I was neither pregnant nor drunk when I made that error! Just in a hurry!

    No worries--I've done it a few times when I just couldn't hold it anymore! I would get to the bathroom in time, but not get "all the way" to the bathroom in time, if you know what I mean. :D Luckily I was always at home...

    See, this is another perfect example of how we all think we have been the ONLY one to do something super embarrassing, and at least 4 of us have now owned up to having done it before!

    I'm glad I started this whole pee-related confession now. I'm sure we all feel a lot of relief (pun intended).

    ETA: I just posted this on the internet and I want SO BADLY to take it back and delete it all because I fear judgement. But I'm not going to.....I need to own up to my learning experiences.
    I have learned, no video game is worth peeing yourself for.

    Back in my 20's I really, really liked this guy and in the early stages of our relationship we would talk on the phone a lot. One night we'd been talking for several hours and I had to pee SO bad, but I was too embarrassed about it to ask him to hang on for a few minutes, too infatuated to end the call... so eventually my bladder control failed and I leaked a little.

    No man is worth peeing yourself for.

    Since many of you are more up to speed on wedding etiquette stuff than I am... a question regarding how divorced parents are supposed to be arranged.

    My SO and his ex-wife have been divorced for many years and their daughter is getting married soon. The SO obviously has a partner, the ex-w does not.

    I have a nasty feeling that daughter is planning on seating the SO with his ex (based on a random remark she made recently)... is that the way it's supposed to be done? In other words, am I breaking some sacred law of wedding propriety if I protest this?

    Background: historically, daughter has cut me out of a few events which her mother would be attending, throwing her dad and his ex together. Her excuse is that having both her mother and me present would be "awkward".

    Very weird to put a divorced couple together although obviously it depends on their specific relationship. Wouldn't you want your guests to be as comfortable at your wedding and to avoid drama? We kept people as far away from each other as possible at ours who we knew would find it uncomfortable.

    So you'd think... but I kinda suspect that the whole "It's MY day" and therefore everyone should conform to some Brides magazine teenage wedding fantasy will be the prevailing attitude.

    I haven't raised it with SO yet as he's still away at work. I stay away from sensitive discussions while he's there, it would just add to his stress.

    We leave for Peru on Saturday!

    I'm so jealous. You are going to have a great time. I think ( from my stalking) you are going to Machu Picchu right? It's beautiful. One of the best things I've ever done. If you are lucky and get there early you get to do the additional climb (can't remember the name of it) We missed it sadly but still really enjoyed the experience. Right - need to go find myself a new adventure now, this is making me crave one.
    Oh, and don't forget to try some guinea pig whilst you're over there....

    So, we're back home now. Hubby didn't have a heart attack (thank you God!), and the doctor thinks it was an esophageal spasm caused by reflux. We're following up with our family doctor and may need to see a GI specialist. He's still asleep, but he's feeling better and not in pain thanks to the morphine shot they gave him. Thanks for all the kind words and thoughts and prayers! <3

    Time for my REAL confession.
    I used to play World of Warcraft. Like hardcore raiding.
    I was in one of the top 10 raiding guilds for our server. I would sit and raid for HOURS. It was how my now ex-husband and I met. He was our raid leader for team B of DARK REIGN and then team A for Emo Kittenz and we were occasionally intermittent with Rhymes with Orange. If you know any of those guilds, I will be mildly impressed.
    I would NOT get up to use the restroom. Straight up, pee in a cup because "bio breaks were for n00bs" and one night, forgot my cup. I peed. Right there in my chair.

    The only shame came when it wasn't even worth it because we ended up with a full wipe of the raid and called it shortly after.

    So yeah, I peed myself for a VIDEO GAME. Talk about embarrassing....

    ETA: I just posted this on the internet and I want SO BADLY to take it back and delete it all because I fear judgement. But I'm not going to.....I need to own up to my learning experiences.
    I have learned, no video game is worth peeing yourself for.

    I didn't see you as a gamer. And I already told you people pee on the bike and run in tris (not me but they do, I'm not competitive enough to do that). So no judging from me. Did you throw the chair out? :)


    I missed this confession, but I am impressed by your commitment to the raid. (I get a headache every time I try to play WOW, something in graphics, but I get it because Mr.Mel used to play.)

    This is hysterical. I completely agree no man is worth peeing yourself for! I think that should be our new dating mantra!

    Oh good! I was waiting to get an update, I'm happy it's not too serious but I know from experience acid reflux is not fun! Hope he's feeling better! xoxo

    Definitely don't do the 1/2 in Sept its too soon. Look to the Eton Dorney that sounds more reasonable.

    So, I think a week will be good.
    • Get there Thur, Race Expo Friday
    • Race Saturday/nap or hotel (house) pool (NOTE if we rent a house or get a hotel we need a HOT TUB), then dinner on Broadway
    • Sunday recovery/Zoo (believe it or not it will be good to move)?
    • Monday Plantation/tours
    • Tuesday Broadway/Nashville (will be doing a bit of that probably Friday too but we don't want to walk too much) or if we have had enough of Broadway/Nashville more tours?
    • Wed either one more day relax/day trip or leave?

      I plan on driving down so will probably drive down a day early or same day depending on when you are getting in when you book your flights. So I need a travel day each way too for driving.

    I did a ladies 5 miler that was on the day before the Windsor half a few years ago. Don't know if they still do that, but it was quite good, around the great park.

    We are doing Machu Picchu but not the Inca Trail (instead one of the alternative routes) so we won't be arriving early. We are staying the night in Aguas Calientes afterward though and have already booked ticked for the Huayna Picchu climb for the following day :)

    I doubt I'll be eating cuy, though. I'm kind of a "friends not food" person with normally-domestic animals. Like, I had no problem eating various antelope, crocodile, warthog, etc., in Africa, but I won't touch dog or horse. I know it's weird and arbitrary but I have a line, I guess. My husband plans to eat anything he can get his hands on, however.

    Had my first unsolicited bump/size comment today from a co-worker I hardly know! It went along the lines of:

    - When are you due?
    - Early January.
    - You're big for that early on. My wife didn't show until she was 6 months gone.
    - Brave of you to comment on a woman's size.
    - ...awkward silence...
    -
    I don't mind a comment when I post a bump photo in the batcave, I'm rather inviting them. But coming unsolicted from acquaintances I hardly know, um no thanks. If you wouldn't say it to a non-pregnant woman, why would you think it's okay now. I'm not upset as I know he wasn't trying to be rude. I just think it's a crappy double standard.

    ConfessiOn: I'm torqued at my husband right now. Come home after a super long, tiring day to find out he didn't go to work because he had a headache. And he's not going to football practice, so I have to take Payton alone.

    I'm just tired and crabby. I'll be better by tomorrow.

    I'd be torqued, too. Staying home because of a "headache" is a hot issue for me.
    But, it's tomorrow now, so I guess you're better. :)

    sounds good to me. I can get a flight that gets in to Nashville about 4pm local time on the Thursday, and one out the following Wednesday that departs at 5.15pm, letting me sleep overnight.

    A hot tub is a great idea. I was looking at cheapo motels, but if we can find a house to rent that would be awesome.

    Oddly enough I am usually the same with 'pet' type foods but we were taken out by our guide and I felt I should at least try. I have to admit it wasn't bad although it looked disturbing and I felt proper guilty eating it. Weirdly though, I feel better about that than eating crocodiles as I have a life long fascination with them! I envy your choice of trip. I could only afford the Inca Trail as I also spent a week in the Galapagos. A friend did an alternative trail and said it was beautiful. I still had a fab time but would have liked to go off the beaten track a little. That said though, we had the best guide who was really enthusiastic and knowledgeable which made it worth while. I hope you have the most fantastic time, you sound truly prepared for it which will make it better as you won't be gasping for breath at parts like I was!!
