Do we know this friend? Or is said friend a lurker, not a poster?

Polka dots are totally sexy in my world. And my butt makes boyshorts "sexier" than they're intended to be so, I just go with it.

I'm 93% certain that were it not for the size of my butt, I could go down another pants size already. I'm wearing jeans in the smallest size currently in my closet for the first time since they were washed (so no stretching), and they're loose.

Confession: I stopped at Wawa on my way into work before dawn to grab breakfast and it was so early that they didn't have hashbrowns ready yet. I'm pretty sure it made me way more sad than it should have.

Oh, do I ever feel you on this. I am passively looking at this point. I'm clearly too busy to go all in right now, but I keep tabs on the big career sites, and some of the companies I'd prefer to work for just in case something good pops up. :)

I thought my engagement ring was the biggest pain in my butt when I first started wearing it, because I never wore jewelry in the lab. I now feel super weird when I have it off (doing dishes, food prep, gardening, showering, etc). The shiny still gets me sometimes though. Ha!

It's possible that you're my hero.

What she said! My daddy made sure I didn't need no man. :)

Legitimately laughed out loud and drew attention to myself from the two people other that are here right now.

That's not silly, that's AWESOME!

Also Dr. Pepper and root beer by the case when zombie hunting.

Yeah. I'd have totally done the same thing.

If I put it off, I can't take it until December (offered twice per year). There's also no guarantee they would approve the request, since I may have gotten approved to take it over someone else, and it's too late to tell them they can take it. I'll probably just wing it, because I walk on the wild side. >:)

That's how I am with my own family. They can buzz off most of the time. The problem is he's close with his (to a point) and they're also all VERY local. My closest relatives are 2+ hours away. And again, I'd like to point out that responses like that are why everybody likes you so much. :)

I wish. My in-laws are the most anxiety-ridden people on the planet (all medicated in some form kind of anxiety) and they cannot rationalize when they get like this. I'm positive there's resentment (which they will eventually realize was stupid), but right now I'm the total jerk who isn't available 24/7.

Confession: Between full-time work, full-time school, and all the in-law health stuff, I'm approaching rock bottom energy levels. I simply do not have anything left to pull from the tank. Which naturally only makes me feel totally guilty. Also, I have a huge (non-school) certification exam next Saturday and I am woefully…

I keep falling behind on this thread because work is getting in the way. Stupid work. Also, we're nearly to 700 pages. Didn't we JUST get to 600?!

Short and loud. I suppose the positive is subjective there, so we'll also say loyal and organized.

Confession: I pretty much hate everyone I work with, and I will not like them again until I've found a new job.

It's a flat $36 for the stupid sticker ever year in Pennsylvania.

Wait...what? How expensive is registration out there?!

I have finally caught up. Those of you who are my peeps already know this, but my FIL is currently in the hospital (and it was not looking good Sunday/Monday), but we got great news this morning. He should be alright, though it will be a long road to recovery. I ate like I spent most of my weekend in a hospital waiting…

This is me. It's how I thermoregulate at night. Ha.

I only worked a half day yesterday, so never managed to login from my work computer. I skimmed and mostly caught up. Confession: We hosted the "wrap party" for the weight loss competition they had at my better half's office last night (he ended up in fourth with a 9.1% loss in 12 weeks - jerk). I ate way more food than…

I agree with the brightness, but my couch is better for curling into the fetal position, and no one is sharing the bed to bother me. So I just throw the blanket over my head out there.

This is probably the most true thing that has ever been said.

I think non-weight is the way to go, since some folks aren't going to be able to drop huge numbers, if they're closer to goal. Maybe X number of cardio workouts and X number of strength ones per week? I know I'm really bad about doing my cardio, but rarely miss lifting - or yoga.

You can't bring water (or any other liquid) through security, except the tiny travel size things (3oz) in a 1qt Ziploc bag. You CAN bring an empty water bottle though, and fill it once you're through. They also serve drinks on the plane, so you can totally do that too. And airplane bathrooms aren't nearly as horrifying as…

...I love dry (previously) frozen waffles. I toast two up every morning and eat them like big, fluffy cookies.
