The best I get out of my husband (if I ask, otherwise nothing) is, "You look fine." I've learned that I can only rely on myself (and my family - they rock!)

My dad's told me stories about one of his many VW Beetles he had. He always had to park it on a hill (he lived in western Washington, so those weren't hard to find) so he could start it that way. He taught himself how to do all the engine repairs, so he stuck with Bugs for a long time - hence my first (and soon to be…

True-ish, I guess... cats are pretty cute, though. TNP wishes their SO would turn off the #*!&# television!!

I like it when I'm driving through a parking lot and people don't look at all, or pause, just walk out in front of me. In general, yeah, you have to be able to walk to your car or to the store, but don't just ASSUME people will stop! Many people don't, and they ARE in cars that are BIGGER than you. When I see someone stop…

Beer does sound good, so let's go with true! TNP needs a vacation A.S.A.P.!!

Haha totally... even my loving grandmother once commented that I look way better in person than I do in pics. Thanks, Gram...

Yikes - how'd you crash? If you don't object to talking/typing about it...

My cousin had a red one of those (just a Jeep, not specifically Barbie) when we were little - I LOVED it! Sadly, he's always lived in a different state so I rarely got to steal it...

:drinker:

No, I get what they're saying... if you're WAY back, holding the door is a nice gesture, but a tad excessive at that point. I understand the person who's holding the door, too, though, because you don't want to be rude. There's that debate, "Are they too far away? Will it seem lame if I let it close? WHAT DO I DO???" I've…

ROFLMAO

Ooo! The way Kroger has just changed of the layout of the whole freakin' store so there's no logic to it! It's shampoo, food, bathroom stuff (toilet paper, tissue...), food, cleaning products, dog food and toys, bread and health food! WTF?? And all the canned goods are spread out across like 25 different places! PUT ALL…

1969 VW Beetle. Engine is on the stand for a rebuild - hoping to have it back for this summer!

False-ish, but comfy. TNP abhors asparagus.

He complains when I wear heels, but I'm not sure he really means it. Even if he does, I've ALWAYS worn heels at some point or another since we've been together, so he can't expect me to stop now! I made a concession for our wedding... wore shorter heels than I wanted and got HIM shoes with heels! :laugh:

True. TNP has driven at over 150mph.

I hear that... I'm at least only 5'8", but only the short guys seemed to like me ever. My hubby's 5'10", but I like heels!

At least until I drop some weight, I'm modifying as much of the jumping as I can. I'm trying to lose weight to get better at the active things I like to do, and having bad knees will not help. I experimented a little with doing actual jumping today, and it went ok, so I might incorporate a little more into my workouts now,…

These are the same people who block whole grocery aisles with their shopping carts, park in the left lane of the highway going 50, pull out too close in front of you only to not accelerate... if it's not evident, I have road rage issues... I listen to a lot of Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me in the car to keep my blood pressure…

My first week doing it, I felt like my legs would never relax again, and it hurt to sit. Now that I'm in week two, my muscles seem to have acclimated. I get worn out and a bit sore when I'm doing the workout, but afterwards I feel fine for the rest of the day. We'll see if that continues once I get into the Max intervals…

So here's a question for some of you more experienced "Insaniacs:" I tend to do my Insanity first thing in the morning when I get up. I've tried working out before eating before, and it's never good (I have no energy/stamina and can't stick with it), but I don't want to eat a lot right before engaging in the intensity of…

ERMAHGERD! KITTEHS!

Bump

I'm on week 2 day 3, and I'm still exactly the same weight and size that I was when I started. That said, I can see that the "size" has shifted a little - my stomach looks a little flatter, my butt is higher and more shaped - and oh MAN do I have more stamina! I also do various Middle Eastern dance classes, and in my…

I tease my poor hubby about his spelling, and he teases me about being an "English language snob." In the end, we coexist just fine. He recently put "lazagna" on the grocery list... XD

My dog's nickname + my birth year. Creative? No. Easy to remember? YES!

I just started it this morning, so I've obviously not seen any results yet. I just wanted to contribute that I was TERRIFIED of it before I tried it, and while I'm still apprehensive, I found that modifying some of the harder things for now made the exercises doable. It's still very challenging, and I expect the actual…

I just got mine in yesterday, so I did the fit test this morning. I feel marginally less afraid of it, but now that I've got it, it's all or nothing! Need to take before pics before I go too much farther...

Ok, I just let myself buy Insanity on eBay, and I have to admit - I'M SCARED!!! I've done a lot of Shaun T.'s Hip Hop Abs for a few years now (though not enough recently), and I love it, but my concern is that I tend to get nauseous when I do really intense workouts, and it looks like Insanity is nothing if not intense.…
