  • cleaning is definitely a work out. i clean up for at least 2 hours per day: scrubbing, wiping, picking up toys (toddler), up/down to the basement for supplies, up/down the stairs to bedrooms and bath to fetch and pic up along the way--and moving the entire time. i have no problem with one knocking, say, "typing, minimal…
  • Hey RMW--I posted this to your page, too, but am going to post it here in case other moms are in the same boat. BTW, I'm a sugar addict, too, so we will send most of our candy to DH's office. Repost of my original reply to you: I get this, I really do. but maybe more creative solutions are possible? Let them T-o-T, but…
  • TOTALLY my second; particularly AS Lloyd Dobbler. <3
  • TOTALLY SECONDING THIS--Will fight you for him!!! LOL and a girl crush on Kate Beckinsale..
  • There are a couple, but my favorite NSV: Tossing my jeans in the dryer again! LOL It used to be drying-rack-city here, but since the 14lb drop, i can toss my jeans in the dryer (and actually hope they shrink a bit!) rather than cursing the DH when he forgets to check the wash before drying.
  • me time? LOL not sure what that is. i have mom time, grocery time, cleaning time, dissertating time (50 pages, so far)--me time *might* be getting a shower every morning... ;) my lawyer husband works too much (usually leaves by 8 am home at 10 pm at least 5, usually 6 days a week) for either of us to have any time for…
  • Are you in MA, by any chance? As a PA girl who lived in MA (land of ubiquitous DD's, which is why I ask) for three years, I was most astonished by how directly confrontational many folks were there*--particularly about weight (!) I cried MANY times for related confrontations--on the T, at the grocery store, etc. :( As so…
  • Woohoo!!! :) or...woo-woo? haha. :) WTG!
  • Ever seen Futurama? Bachelor chow. ;)
  • YEAH!!! And jeans are always a great predictor of "true" size change--bet you'd even lean toward a sz 14 in dresses!!! :) I hope you feel confident, rewarded, and SEXY(!) and take yourself and your cute new bottom out for a matching top!
  • Amos Lee's "Black River" - Self-titled first album - several (5? 6?) years ago. Oh so wonderful!
  • - 1 cup of Edy's 1/2 fat ice cream, misc. flavors, but currently (to die for) pumpkin (180 cal) - Sarris candy 100-calorie-pack chocolate covered pretzel slims--made in Canonsburg, PA, but avail. online ((100 cal) - rold gold butter pretzels - YUM! (120 cal)
  • @sexforjaffacakes - Thanks for opinion of Tw! I'm on-board with your general assessment of translation to Am tv... My first thought was: what will they do with Captain Jack's pansexuality? so refreshing to see a masculine male who can have relationships with men (!!)--in Am, we generally get weak or closeted men and loads…
  • check for a plastic bag on a toaster oven ;)
  • Twilight RANT: How is it that so many (particularly YOUNG) women do not see the allusions to repeat-pattern abusive relationships? (She is perpetually and willingly at-risk throughout the majority of the series--and young women just absorb her mentality--such a WEAK women, terrible role model...) Movie: Star Wars - ONLY…
  • JUST saw that BBC BH is available via OnDemand, so I will check it out ASAP... Have been avoiding Tw precisely because of move to Starz (ick), well, that and loss of Ianto :brokenheart: But will check out Tw! I actually know nothing about Skins...worth taking a peek?
  • Yank here, but ADORE Doctor Who--and still incensed about Torchwood move to Starz. Although, seriously, not sure i am ready to watch a season without Ianto :sad: (haven't seen it; not sure I want to know; will break down and purchase the season soon...) Must say I mourned loss of David Tennant :love:, the only man i would…
  • Hubs and I cannot wait... We just ran out of Doctor Who S6 to watch and haven't yet started buying Starz Torchwood, so the start of TWD is well timed for us. uber-Sci-fi geeks here! great to see chatter about SotD, too. Anyone know when american version of Being Human returns?
  • Will measure up asap--great idea (and, well, embarrassed to admit i didn't notice it was a feature...) Barriers and challenges: nibbling the tot's leftovers--before I started tracking, I imagine i probably added about 300 per day just from nibbles of macaroni, chicken, cheese, fruit, etc. Not that it's ever "bad-for-you"…
  • Totally in! Mom of 16-mo-old here, life finally settling enough to focus on my weight, you know, in addition to the million other things mom have to focus on!!! Count on me for accountability and support!
  • Hey! I'd love to add any new mom-friends here--especially if any of you are working, too, and/or are a graduate student like me! I have a 15 month old and am writing a dissertation--my lawyer husband is always working, so I'm primary caregiver (thank heavens for my folks who watch the tot a few days a week so I can…
  • New-ish mom to my first (16 mo. old) --but definitely understand difficulty of balancing work/home/baby and making excuses not to exercise. Feel free to add me!
