Reboot boogaloo November - Open group

12 floors is a lot more than baby steps - that's a serious grind! How long did it take you? I would turn it into miles that way (if you walk 3 mph = 20 min mile, if it took you 20 minutes, you get a mile)
I'm looking forward to yoga today too. We have some class passes that need to be used before they expire, so I will teach one and take two classes (hopefully no one will keep me after class today, so I can make it to the next one on time). Also - short bike ride to the library (against some serious wind on the way home) to get a cookbook : Charlie said his retreat had really good food and the cook used Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian cookbook. Oh, he also lost two pounds in a weekend. I think I need to go on one of these retreats!
Yoga today, boogaloo.0 -
Good morning,
Quick post. I've gotta get things going for the day before my daughter starts tearing things up. She's not starting off on the right foot with me this morning. It doesn't help that I'm a little irritable.
We got some good news yesterday. Irina will be starting horse therapy! She got funding to ride for about two months. So we are praying that more will come in so she can continue...if she likes it. So having both my kids doing the same thing at the same time makes it so much easier right now!
I hope she and I are both making progress with our attitudes. I did lose it once yesterday when she drew blood from my hand. But I have tried very hard to be calm. When I had bandaids on my hand yesterday she would point and say "ow!ow!" Then she would say Alex. So I had several opportunities to explain to her that she did it. I think possibly by the end of the day it was registering with her that she was hurting me when she scratches. I was also able to put her to bed with no fight and that is huge.
Goals today: work out while watching the Biggest Loser during nap time. I was suppose to do it this morning but just didn't feel up to it. Also we have school, general cleaning, and if I'm brave (or stupid) enough we may go get some DVD's at the library. Promising a lollipop/snack for a good girl seems to be helping when we go out. Give her food and she will nearly do anything you want. As long as it's food that SHE wants. And there is church tonight. We need to go but it's been hard. After dealing with my daughter all day, I'm done and I want her to go to bed. :laugh: So we'll see. DH also said he wasn't feeling well at all during the night so he may not be up to going.
I guess my post wasn't that quick.
Time for school boogaloo!0 -
Good morning,
How is everyone?
SJ, I meant to say 12 floors is AWESOME! And I agree with Mary and V. You should count it towards your walking.
I wanted to get up and walk on the TM this morning but I didn't. I think I am struggling with some depression. The scale is moving down again so that helps. A very little.
I didn't feel well last night so I stayed home from church. I actually was running a low grade temp for about an hour and felt queasy. Didn't even want to eat. This morning I feel better but not super great. Good enough to eat though.
Former neighbor is coming some time today to visit. It will be good to see her. Just need to clean since I really didn't do that yesterday, do school and hopefully have time to get the kids outside later for some sun.
We learned something today about Irina's history. She showed developmental delays at birth...or was it by two. She was in a psycho ward for two months last year because of her aggression. :noway: What kind of crap has this child been through? So we're thinking the orphanage couldn't handle her (possibly being abusive and aggressive with her), put her in the ward, and when she was release they moved her to the orphanage she was in when we met her. It kind of makes me feel sorry for her, even though she's been beating the tar out of me everyday. It's my job to show her I'm not like the other caretakers. And I haven't been doing a very good job of that. I've been telling her that when she hurts me, it makes me cry and I think possibly it's getting through to her. I hope. Lord, help me get through this, however long it takes.
On the bright side she went to bed two nights in a row without a fuss! It's a record! :bigsmile: Now if we can just get through a whole day! She really is making some progress in learning. It's not huge but she knows more letters now and loves numbers.
Baby steps count boogaloo.0 -
Enjoy the sunshine, MM. I'm sure it will make you feel better.
I was eating my two squares of chocolate the night before last. I was telling Charlie that it might be too much (the squares are biggish and about 50 calories each). He said they were smaller than a candy bar - and a candy bar is one serving - so I could have one candy bar a night. :laugh:
Today: try to remain positive with a negative friend, get yoga and a bike ride in, visit my old person, figure out what I'm making for dinner, library (didn't make it yesterday), nephew's hockey game.
One serving, boogaloo.
ps: how long have the signatures been gone? I just noticed0 -
Hey, I almost forgot to check in today.
So, very busy. Went to yoga today, picked up my autoharp, started to worry that I'm losing some ink with my tattoo healing (I had some scabbing) and finally got my presentation down to under 20 minutes. There are still a few things that I have to adjust/rewrite because they don't sound quite right. I feel a bit overwhelmed, and will most likely have to work through the weekend, but there you go. It's crunch time.
In other news, I got some walking in, and feel almost in control. Almost!
Wow, MM that is troubling news to find out. That poor little girl. I'm sorry that she's taking out so much of her pain on you, but at the same time I know that she is blessed to have you. I pray everyday that you are showered with patience and strength when I think of my pebbs.
And just so ya'll know, I do think of all my pebbs, even those that DON'T CHECK IN AS MUCH AS I WISH THEY DO. (I'm turning into my mother with the guilt.
)
crunch time, boogaloo.:flowerforyou:0 -
Mary, I didn't even notice the signatures were gone. I think they were there at the beginning of the week at least. Mmmm. Chocolate. After reading your post I was thinking I'd buy a bar of chocolate at the store today. No, I can't. I don't know that I will be able to have "just" two squares. Not yet.
V, I was wondering how your presentation was going then I saw on FB that you managed to get it under 20 minutes. Good job! Thanks for your support of me, and of all your pebbs. I think about you all several times a day too!
I had my first eat out meal last night. Tacos. I had two, and split my side of chips with everyone. Progress! I was pretty full, like even that was too much. I told Steve I felt a little too full. He said, "From two tacos?" Yep. I can usually pack three and quite a few chips as well. I wasn't like sick full. Just like maybe I didn't need that last chip or two.
It dawned on me yesterday that I'd better get Alex's birthday stuff figured out. It's in a week. We finally decided to have a little party. We've invited just a few friends and are hoping to have it at the park if the weather is nice. I'm going to start buying stuff for it tomorrow. I have a very tight budget so I will have to get creative. I also need to go get a couple of smaller gifts for Alex. We bought him a traffic light controller circuit board as his main gift. Just what every 6 year old wants right? He has a traffic light that flashes randomly for a party type scene. It has bugged him that it doesn't flash like a normal light. So we got him one. He will be SO excited! I love my boy and his oddities!
Today is the grocery store(s) (Lord help me!), school and the OT is coming this evening. I may try to get a work out in later today. I haven't felt really motivated lately, but I'll try. Maybe a run on the TM. I need to do something. I seem a bit stuck in the weight area again. I can tell I'm smaller but it seemed to stop already. Oh and I've been craving sugar more the last several days. I am thinking it has to do with the approaching time of month. Wouldn't that be sad if our sugar cravings happen because of a time of month and there's not a way to really control them? I hope I can overcome it and not pig out. I am thinking I may have to make those brownies that are made with dates to help.
Sugar/chocolate desires boogaloo.0 -
Remember the apple rule, MM? I think it helps to train ourselves like we do the kids - if you are hungry, and you want something sweet, an apple is sweet.
I wish my other pebbs would check in more too, V.
That said, I stressed a bit yesterday and while I was hungry and it was dinner time, I stress ate. I say that because I couldn't stop thinking of the stressor while eating. I had my two chocolate squares - but these had peanut butter on them. Had quinoa with spinach for dinner, it was wonderful.
So, I almost posted this yesterday, but I deleted it because this is a public forum, and you shouldn't post anything you would mind anyone reading, right? - I'm at my wits end. I have a friend that really stresses me out, and I don't know what to do about it. She's had a tough year, even if some of it is her own doing, she's going through a tough time. She doesn't have an income and needs a job. However, she has turned completely negative - about everything. No matter what you say, she has a negative thing to say about it. No matter what you try to advise, it won't work. When she had a part-time job last month, things were better. I some how need to convince her that she needs to get a job, no matter what the job is. Usually, when I say, "why don't you apply at this place?", she has a reason. I have no idea how to tell her she needs to take any job at this point. Or if I don't tell her that, I need to figure out a way to deal with her in her current state. I was so stressed when I came home last night, I just got on the treadmill and missed my nephews hockey game. I still care about her, but I currently dread going out with her.
So pebbs, what are your thoughts? Do you tell someone point blank: you need to get a job because you're driving me crazy? or do you distance yourself from them in someway (if we go out as a group, she's much more fun).
Sorry about the long post, I'm really at a loss.
So onward - for today - yoga this morning - helping some teachers get ready for a test by being a student. Get ready for tomorrow's big bike ride - yeah!
Help wanted , boogaloo. 0 -
Mary, that is tough. I know that I find for myself I have to be careful around that type of energy. I want to be a good listener, and when I am in a really strong place emotionally, I can do that. When I'm not, though,I find I have to avoid those types. What I have said to people, and I'll even preface it with a phrase like "I want you to know that I'm not judging you, and know that you are very discouraged right now" is: that is not a real reason, that is an excuse. Yes, I have made people really angry with this statement. I know I had a relative who was out of work for a very long time, and I told him "you have to only get one yes, so keep trying.". But, I also understand your need to walk it off on the treadmill. Sometimes the best things we can do for our friends is tell them what they don't want to hear So much easier thought than done.
I'm super happy today because it's another sunshiny day!!! So, today's plans are: teach a lesson, read the paper out loud and make changes as I go when I read stuff that sounds a bit whaaaaat? And make time for a walk in the sunshine. And sing/play my harp. Surprising Appalachian instrument pop song discovery of yesterday's practice session: an Amy Winehouse song. I'm also developing a secret dream of street busking by next spring. In my spare time :laugh:
Busker, boogaloo:flowerforyou:0 -
Have managed to walk just over 20 km in first 10 days of Nov. I guess that seems about right considering I'm going for 60. Today I'm taking a day off as I've walked the last four days in a row and yesterday had a lot of pain in my left foot. So it's rest day for me except to do some stretching.
yesterday a friend and I went to the site where a cyclist was killed earlier this week. We left flowers and stood there reflecting for a while. I was surprised at how peaceful it was. There were a lot of flowers and candles and a few people there talking and sharing. I never do this kind of thing at all, but for some reason, maybe cuz it is in my neighbourhood, I felt like I had to go there and send grace to the place and to the people touched by the loss. I hope it helped.
Today is Remembrance Day in Canada, so it's a very reflective day, sunny and cold. but nice.

That was so sweet of you SJ. I heard about her all the way down here (and not just through V on FB). I didn't read the story (bad thing to do before a big bike ride and just riding in general, I have enough phobias, thank you), but I know she got clipped on a right turn and ended up under the tire - I'm still curious why it made big news. The driver was at fault, but it's the kind of thing anyone could have done, right?
V - I would love to say that, but won't just yet. I'm pretty strong right now. I talked to another friend (who distanced himself a year ago) and that helped. I also asked advice from a psychologist relative. I'm going to try it next week - with a planned hard workout afterward :laugh: Sorry for dumping on you guys, I needed to get it out.
Today - big bike ride - 50 miles - and, as a bonus, huge winds - 25 mph gusts from the South. At least we are not doing the ride that is straight south today but the ride is out and back - and the back is South (better to go against the wind first). So today is a test of endurance. Should take about 6 hours total.
Last major bike ride of the season, boogaloo0 -
Wow, Mary, I'm amazed that the cyclist death made news that far away. It's sad, obviously when something like that happens to anybody. I actually had this woman as a sub in yoga a few times and she was a truly bright spirit. Also, Mary don't feel bad at all for dumping on us! I think we've all done more than our fair share of venting around here. In fact, I think you might be behind.
Today is working, possible meet up with a friend and dealing with my disaster of a kitchen. My new therapeutic yoga practice is almost all supported backbends, and I slept like a rock. I aim to spend some time on my bolster today, as I think super fin pms time has arrived.
More sunshine, boogaloo.:flowerforyou:
P.S. ride like the wind, Mary!0 -
Mary, sorry you are going through this with your friend. Maybe you could stop hanging out with when it's just you two, and only go out in a group since she's more fun that way? I do agree with what V said. And I do think you have a dumping deficit, so don't feel bad for venting. Hope the ride goes well today! Anyone that rides of ten miles impresses me. I don't think I could even ride one mile at this point.
V, glad you got some decent sleep last night! Hope TOM isn't too hard on you!
SJ, how are you doing? Sounds like you are doing great on your walking! How's your foot?
Today I am meeting with a friend that I haven't seen in awhile. My friends (local) seem to have left. I've decided not to have best friends anymore. Every time I say someone is my best friend, they desert me. I'm not kidding. Everyone is just plain old friends now, except for my Pebbs. My Pebbs are dearer to me than best friends. Like family really.
I am also going to start shopping/planning Alex's party. Not sure what else I am going to do today. Maybe take the kids to the park.
Family boogaloo!0 -
Heya, I'm still around. Sorta.
Been really tired and feeling stressed, but my diet and exercise have been okay. Not great mind you, but not awful.
There is a taekwondo studio a couple blocks from me that I'd like to check out, but I've been too shy to call and inquire for details. I also want to apply for a job at one of the restaurants within walking distance of our house, and that idea is stressing me out. The thought of getting a job makes me happy, but applying for it and whatnot scares me. I know it should be a very simple thing but I feel like I have no idea what to do.
I suppose I just need to force myself to try.
Anyway, I've missed posting here with you guys. Should do it more.
Need to try, boogaloo. :ohwell:0 -
Finished ride. Would like to rephrase V - ride with the wind. It was brutal today on the return ride - hardest ride I've ever done, hands down. Burned over 2,000 calories - so I'll be eating this weekend. It did cross my mind that if I walked 4 miles and did 40 sun salutations, I would be done with my birthday goal. Nap first, then we'll see.
LLP - apply - what is the worst thing that could happen?
MM - I would like to remove the "best friend" label as well 0 -
Livi, HI! You should definitely check in more! And go apply for those jobs.
Mary, congrats on finishing the race yesterday. That's pretty awesome.
V, when do we get to see a pic of your tat?
I got a text last night asking me to teach the 4-6 year olds this morning because the teacher is not feeling well. I haven't done this since like July I think. And I've haven't done it alone OR without curriculum either. This could be interesting. Steve is probably staying home. He's sick. He rarely gets sick. In fact this is the first time since we've been married that I'm going to church by myself. I'm not sure if the kids are going. If they behave themselves while getting ready to go this morning then I guess. I'm nervous about handling Irina by myself. It's different than going to the store. I guess I'll be bribing her with lollipops again. :ohwell: I'm also taking my fingerless gloves to have protection from scratching.
I think I'm going to take a hammer to my scale. It's fluctuating by three pounds every other day or so. I did eat a little more yesterday, but not three pounds worth. I have noticed that I am eating more salty foods since cutting out sugar.
Exercise: getting Irina to church and back. Maybe some shopping this afternoon since I found nothing I needed yesterday, except a muffin pan. Not sure what else. Maybe a walk to the park if there's time.
Trading one evil food for another boogaloo.0 -
MM - Maybe Steve could hide the scale while you're at church?
I'm a bit sore today - oddly on my hamstring attachments (I can't believe I just typed that - my butt is sore) - could be the seat. I didn't stand up much - my HR was already high - in fact my average HR was 80% of max for 4 hours. I surprise myself sometimes. I thought my quads would be killing me right now, but they're only a little sore. Oh, and Charlie asked to go for a walk last night - I went.
The next ride is in three weeks - it's half the distance with tons of stops - it's more of a tour than a ride.
Today - yoga and walking.
Recovery, boogaloo.0 -
Took two days off from walking because of sore left foot. Slept most of the day yesterday and all last night. Went for 4.5 km walk today with no soreness, I've done 24/60 km in 13 days...need to get a move on if I'm going to make 60 by Dec 1.
The scale today is evil and I hate it hate it hate it....the only indication that things are changing is the fact that I can go 4.5 km without dying. I guess it's something.
sj
p.s. V...show pic of tat soon?0 -
SJ, going 4.5 without dying is so, so major. Please honor that. Remember how I feel about the scale? It's just one tool, and a terrifically imperfect tool. I will try to do tatt pics on fb today. It wraps around the arm a bit, so it's difficult to photograph. When I get back from Philly, we should have a coffee or walk/coffee date and you could see it.:happy:
Today got insanely busy while I wasn't looking. I have to work as soon as I'm finished typing, then acupuncture at 1, then a meeting with a colleague who has union questions, then a meeting up at campus. I will try to squeeze some walking in there somewhere, and some eating. I'm also trying to remember to put a water bottle into my bag. I've definitely been slacking in the hydration department. Naughty. Also, I cannot believe I leave for Philly in two days. Aaaaaigh! Minor freakout. I feel prepared presentation wise, but so unprepared packing/travel plans wise.
Yesterday, Zumba was awesome, we're doi this new choreography that is an up tempo, boogaloo cha cha. Boogaloo!
Busy bee boogaloo. :flowerforyou:0 -
SJ, the scale is always evil. Even when it shows good numbers, it has ulterior motives to bring us down. :laugh: I think you are doing great and you are probably in better shape than me right now.
V, How long will you be in Philly? I'll keep my eyes open for your tat pics.
Mary, you're a rock! That is all.
I think I found out why the scale was up yesterday. AF came. I think taking progesterone may give me some sort of regularity. I hope. I'm going to try to get some exercise in today even though I don't feel like it. Steve is staying home because he's still sick, so just maybe I'll go for a walk, if it's not raining.
This week is busy. Tumbling today, plus all the other normal things like school and cleaning. Tomorrow both kids have horse therapy. Wednesday the social worker is coming over for our first adoption post placement report. Yay. Then Thursday I will begin getting things ready for Alex's party on Saturday.
Irina might just be doing a little better. Might. Bedtimes have been a little easier. We have learned that if she is acting up while out in public, we threaten to leave and she straightens up. Yesterday we were at the park and she refused to stay close to the playground so I said okay we're leaving. She went back to the playground. She did it again not 5 minutes later and we left. I need to be ready to do the same in the grocery store with a full load of groceries. :ohwell: I don't like it, it doesn't seem fair to Alex, but it definitely gets her attention. She isn't slapping or scratching as much so I hope there's progress there. And she said, "One manana" yesterday for banana. I was pretty excited about that. She'll come around. She has to.
Oh and I had my first dairy product yesterday in about three weeks and I felt nauseated afterward. :frown:
Still testing foods boogaloo.0 -
Fingers crossed: rain might fall from the sky in decent amounts. It's November and the AC came on this morning.:huh: I'm thinking the only reason I have a winter coat is for my nephew's hockey games. It's great biking weather though, so that's a bonus.
Had a victory this weekend. Went on the bike ride and didn't indulge in dessert.
Today: teach and take yoga + short walk. I also need to figure out when I can fit yard work in. The yard looks terrible from this summer. I need to weed and get some compost. I would like a composter (I go through plenty of food), but I neither know where to put it or which kind to buy/make. In the meantime, I will buy it.
Anyway, Charlie and I were discussing what we had time for (with all the things we would like to do). I never think: I wish I had more time for the computer/internet. So for now, I'm going to think of ways to limit it's use.
Finding time, boogaloo.
ps: guys, did you see the new "groups" feature on mfp? Maybe we should switch over?0 -
So. Tired.
:yawn:
I'm going to go exercise anyway though. Even getting just a little of the workout done is better than nothing, huh?
Mary - I was thinking that too, using the new group thing would be better I think.
Yawning, boogaloo. :yawn: :yawn:0 -
Hey all, after 4 years I've changed my username. Just thought you'd like a heads up, in case it's on your home page
I got tired of the marywilldiet one0 -
Good morning,
Welcome yoginimary! I haven't seen the new group thing yet. I'll try to check it out later today if I get a chance.
Livi, did you get even a little work out in?
V, I am now too stressed to eat. I didn't know that was possible with me. Usually I do eat.
Yesterday Steve stayed home sick, except to run an errand. While he was out, he texted and asked if I wanted an Icee. No. I actually didn't want one. I haven't wanted anything sweet (except when I'm mad and stressed. Then I kind of want chocolate.). He came home and said, "Wow, you really must be dedicated to this diet if you are turning down sweets." I'm not dedicated to a diet. I just don't want any. Weird. It is the second day of my cycle and my appetite usually goes way down anyway.
Steve is still sick, but went to work anyway. He said he's not feeling any better but he's going to try. He may get sent home. I cried again yesterday. Broke down. I get so tired of the food struggles in my house. I have had such a hard time not using food for comfort, then Alex has special needs, and now Irina is obsessed with food! She had all kinds of food yesterday and right after having leftover halloween candy she was asking me for food again! Steve said that maybe I should just give her a drawer of snacks to get into whenever she wants. :noway: :mad: I have said from the beginning that I will not let her have free reign in my kitchen! So I got really mad and I cried. All the "rules" I set when we brought her home have all been criticized and tossed out the window. I feel like I have lost control. Fine. She can have a snack whenever she wants, but it's going to be fruit. I'll put a bowl of fruit out on the table and see how long it lasts. It still really makes me mad. We eat plenty. Alex has never complained about not having enough. Sorry. I'm venting. I do not agree with it at all, but I'm really getting tired of her smacking noises every thirty minutes too. I'm done.
Both kids get to ride today. Hoping that goes well. I really dread taking her out anywhere anymore. :frown: I'm not going to the prayer meeting today. I have too much to do. I have to get the house cleaned up before the social worker comes tomorrow. I'm just under a lot of stress right now. I feel that if anyone asks me to do anything else, no matter how small, I will snap. I need to let it go. All of it and just do it.
My post is a downer. I'll end on a positive note. I'm healthy physically. And my kids are healthy.
Look at the bright side boogaloo.0 -
Aw, MM, hang in there. I keep thinking maybe Irina didn't get enough to eat in Russia - so maybe having fruit out will assure her?
Still waiting on the rain - fingers double crossed.
I'm having little aches and pains, so I'm going to walk today. I have a free pass at a yoga studio, so if I'm feeling frisky, I might go this afternoon. It's really the only time there's a class I would like to take.
Short post, boogaloo.0 -
Hi, pebbs. . .
Feeling only slightly overwhelmed today. Feel pretty on top of most things.
Also, indulged in my favourite freak-out coping skill: when in doubt, go get your nails did. :laugh: Now, I'm making sure clothes are clean for packing, and will triple check my technology and pack this evening. Just about to get some lunch and then some practicing in. The paper and presentation are officially as finished as they're going to get, my nails are a sedate, grown-up friendly colour, and it's a beautiful day outside. Breathe in, breathe out.
I'm also pondering a user-name change, Mary. . .did anything else change when you did that? Mine is a little too close to my "real name" now that I'm looking for jobs.
Nails did fixes everything, boogaloo.:flowerforyou:0 -
I third the "let's move to groups" idea. What do we do, just go?0

update: Nov 15th half way to 60 km walking goal. (almost) 29.57 km completed.
haven't done stairs in a while....I am finding I need to conserve energy for walking or else I just sleep all day and the dishes pile up.

sj.0 -
SJ, that is great! Keep it up!
V, I've decided I need to fly to Canada alone and get my nails done with you.
I just got on here to ask if you all have started a group yet. If one of you wants to start it, and just post it on here then I'll find ya! :happy:
Oh horse therapy went really well. Irina was all smiles and learned quickly that "walk" is what makes the horse move. I'm glad she gets to do that. Now we just need to get her a used helmet so she won't throw a tantrum because Alex can keep his helmet and she can't. I am also realizing that nap time is probably going to have to go. Both kids were crying when I told them it was nap time. It's a real struggle to get them to "take naps" but it also means no more quiet time for me until after they go to bed and sometimes "me" time doesn't happen then either. One more sacrifice I'm having to make. I should be used to it by now. :ohwell:
And I left fruit bowl on the table this afternoon. They both ate a banana and half of the grapes that I bought. Guess I'll be buying fruit every 2-3 days. But she didn't ask me for food again that I remember. Everything runs together these days.
Second post boogaloo.0 -
Hey everybody! I'm cool with going to a group. I second MM - post here what I need to do to follow and I will be there! :laugh:
MM, I'm glad horse therapy went well. Everybody needs some "me" time, so I hope you find some. Your husband has the whole drive to and from work at least, right!? (I probably spend too much of mine on the internet, and brooding.) I think the fruit idea seems fair. Maybe popcorn would be another option?
Mary, I like the new name! I've been meaning to change mine, too - just haven't thought of who I should be instead.
V, good luck at your conference! I've never had my nails done.
Livi and SJ, good to see you.
Well, I actually feel like I'm allowed to post today. My husband dragged me to the gym on Sunday, then I had yesterday off so I went again, and then I ate a donut today so I went again after work. I still am struggling to find ANYTHING I can do that doesn't aggravate my ankle - Sunday and Monday were biking and strength training, today was the rowing machine. My only goal at this point is to show up and try something. I wanted to push myself on the rowing machine, but then my shoulder started hurting (kinda bursitis-y)... so I said, "fine! I'll slow down." It is frustrating, but I'm trying not to be frustrated. I'm trying just to show up and try something.
Show up and try something, boogaloo.0 -
Nail salon party! My treat for all my pebbs. I live right above one, remember? I think they even have enough pedicure chairs for all of us.
I had to get super conservative, business woman nails yesterday and I screamed "aaaah! I'm naked!" when they were finished. I like the colors. Even though they're painted (super lit pink and actually very pretty) I had gotten used to red and purple and grey and the like.
Up early to pack and fly to Philly. Will try to keep checking in, but no promises. Hope to get some explorer walking in once I get in.
