I grew up in the West Palm area, now living in cow country and working in Stuart.

Seriously, some people make me sad. The same people that are making me procrastinate going back to the gym this week because I have been gone a little over a month and will be made to feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. Thank you for helping me realize that I was correct.

I have one: http://aligetshealthy.blogspot.com/ I hadn't been consistent and some of it is just boring, but one resolution I made is to keep up with my blog. It helps when others actually get involved with it so feel free to check it out and I'll follow yours as well :)

My great-grandfather called me pumpkin. Mom used to call me "Ali-to-Bali" or "Ali-foo-fali" Not sure how to spell that; the whole thing was "ali-to-bali-foo-fali-fair". No idea where that came from. Some people shorten my name to Ali or, if that's too difficult (or they want to sing?), they'll call me Al.

^^ Umm .... YES!

I would have to agree with going to your supervisor. Even if you present it as, "so-and-so came to me and presented the case that, in overhearing me answer phones, it may seem to outsiders as if I am not doing my job. These are the calls I get that are in question (hang-ups, machines, etc). Is there a different way I…

I am starting this (along with the push-ups and dips) this week: http://www.twohundredsitups.com/ I know others who have used this program and loved it. They also show how to do them properly.

That is wonderful. I know how much of a hassle that can be!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=YMvMb90hem8 I can't say that I think everyone's input is of the same value. I would certainly value your trainer's advise over what you learned from your trainer. Your trainer is a professional and you can only relay the few pieces of information that your trainer deemed valuable to you.…

I would definitely be in ... I will be doing NaNo this year. Guess I should prepare!

Crunchy cereal I usually peel a banana from the stem - if it won't open, I'll go from the bottom or cut it in half. I will add that I was told primates peel a banana from the bottom ...

I don't have cable so I rely on Netflix and Hulu (and, um ... some other places). I can't believe how many shows are out there that I have never heard of! I may have to check some out

:( I was going to get some Oatmeal Stout tonight ... I guess I'm not supposed to anymore? *sigh* but I don't like light beers. I am now depressed. I am glad you didn't throw this at me on Friday! ;)

Eddie Izzard Dara O'Briain Bill Bailey Noel Fielding Lee Mack Hugh Laurie/Stephen Fry (ok, so it was a sketch show but it was/is awesome) I apparently live in the wrong area :)

I could use a good party ... I'm in :)

That's awesome! Congrats :)

I could go either way ... I got some bad news yesterday morning and I ate my lunch but just picked at my dinner (which is a shame because my grandma made pot roast and it was really good).

I'm probably not much help. I love cleavage. And I certainly enjoyed wearing tasteful but lower cut shirts when I was constantly in the warehouse with the guys. Even just a hint. They certainly didn't discourage me. At my job now, it's a different environment and I don't have too many low cut shirts any more. I think I…

<=== Apparently started early. Bottles are for sissies!

My title is Jr Accountant but I am basically whatever they need that day. This week it's Purchasing (who knew there were so many types of paper?!) and Payables. I also fancy myself a photographer and writer ... trying to get my creative side back!

English Bad English very little Spanish even less French some German I think I should make it a goal to learn more, especially German since I took that at uni not long ago.

Just thought I would share ... my great grandmother (b 1909) sometime in the early 70s I believe. Sure, this was at a gathering with her group for a luau, but I have no idea where these "rules" come from!

I think it's sad. My cousin has a 3 year old and she had never had fresh fruit or veggies until they stayed with grandma while my cousin's husband was overseas. And the whole time, my cousin would say things like, "oh she won't eat that" and she only meant that SHE doesn't like it so her daughter has never had the chance…

I just ordered it ... but for a Wii :(

One of the birthday girls in our office got a fruit "floral" arrangement. It was great and tasty! She doesn't like cake. They're cute, too

You look amazing. Big congrats on your progress so far :)

Walked/Biked 23.97 miles as of 8/31 (started 8/23 so I guess that isn't too bad)

Might help to keep track of measurements as well as the weight on the scale. We all tend to lose inches in different areas first. My last time, I had gone down a little over 20# and was only down 1 size (but my original size was getting tight).

I am also in FL and am 34. Feel free to add me if you wish :)

I had a co-worker neighbor who (it seemed to me) wouldn't talk unless he had food in his mouth. And, instead of getting up to chat with someone, he would talk loudly across the walkway - but only after taking a bite of his food. Now I have a couple ladies who LOVE gum (and I chew quite a bit, too) but they sound like 15…
