Topic :   Just here!

I'm just re-visiting here to get myself into posting here again!  I find the Forum so much more... well, ummm... I guess so much LESS INTIMIDATING than my facebook page!  I'm feeling old as I write that!  Ha!

You all know that Trish will be moving soon - and I'm feeling sad about that.  I'm not good with anticipation about upcoming things.  And the person who knows that the best is Trish. 

Actually - she's probably one of the people in this world who know me best.  And that really is hard when she's moving halfway around the world. 

So I'm getting myself reacquainted with the Forum - hoping that once she is in Cyprus, this will be the place we can have chats and discuss either EPWT stuff or other stuff. 

Trish has been a HUGE part of EPWT.  She is enthusiastic, innovative, motivating, inspiring, hilarious, caring, passionate, educated, vocabulatary, and a wonderful friend and sister-in-law.

I have decided that she IS the closest person I have to a real - REAL - sister.  I know that sounds stupid since you all probably already know that - but it's true and I finally see it.  We've fought like sisters, we've grown together like sisters.  And now she's moving.  And I'm very sad about it.

So Trish - I will be HERE - in the Forum - waiting for you.  Of course, we can talk on the phone or thru email - but I'll be here often, too for you!  You're not alone over there!  I love you!! 

And I'm glad you're living with me before you leave!  It'll be crazy - but I'm happy it's going to happen!  Just so you know!  :)

Love you, Trish.  :) Sue Ellen

Re :   NATIONAL ICE CREAM MONTH

 Hey, cool, Beth! And guess what? You won! (Sorry I didn't check here earlier; I was making things more complicated than they needed to be and looking at the other online sites.) Your fabulous prize awaits. :) 

My favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip. I don't know if the chocolate chips count as mix-ins, because I can't think of anything else to add that would make it better.

Topic :   NATIONAL ICE CREAM MONTH

HEY,  this is exciting...this is the first time I have created a new topic!! I am here to answer
Joanne's question about ice cream concoctions in the monthly newsletter. I saw the great gift
Kerry got last month and I want to be in the running.

I am an ice cream freak...hot weather, cold weather, makes NO difference to me...but I am not sure I
have the perfect mixture...the closest thing so far is the peanut butter/chocolate thing at Cold Stone...
yeah, that might be THE perfect one...

anyone else???

Topic :   What a weekend!

So this weekend Brent was out of town - so my weekend was a little crazy.  On Saturday, Sydney and I went to Baby Loves Disco.  It was fun once it was a little less busy.  Sydney gets really clingy when there are a lot of adults around that she doesn't know.

I held myself back from watching a bunch of movies and instead I did a ton of cleaning.  Our house has gotten very messy since I have been so tired and Brent is never home.  I actually got the entire house cleaned! 

Then Saturday night around midnight - Sydney woke up with a tummy ache.  I told her to try to go back to sleep.  Shortly after laying down she started gagging - I sat her up and out came a bunch of puke.  Not fun!  So, I spent the next 1/2 hour cleaning her up, cleaning up her sheets, cleaning up myself, and then convincing her that she could get back into bed because it wasn't her bed that made her do that.  She was up several more times during the night.  The poor little girl was so scared by it.  Sunday she woke up feeling better - only to get sick again later in the day. 

So today (Monday) - I stayed home with her and she seems a ton better.  She is tired and seems a little warm - but she is finally eating and keeping things down. 

How was everyone else's weekend?

Re :   uppercase living party

I had fun - and I held myself back from the brownies :)

Plus - I don't feel so bad about having anti-social cats - they aren't alone

Thank you Sue Ellen for all your advertising of the forum! 
Thanks to all the new comers who have made an effort at posting!  I think you are in the lead Beth - I will be doing the counting tomorrow morning.

Re :   Duh, Trish!

I agree -  when Bonnie (State Pres) and Katie were talking about the pain of having "M Nights" - which I am guessing are "Membership Nights" - I can't understand what would be so annoying about them?   Were/are they just not well planned?  Isn't there food or drink involved? 

SYLN events are so much fun!  I think I've been to all but one of them and I think they're my favorite part of being in EPWT!  Honestly!  It's a ton of fun to share what someone else considers fun and feels passionately about.  It's great!

Topic :   I'm a little nervous!

I really am... now that it's setting in a little.

I have registered for 2 1/3 sprint triathlons during this summer!!!  I'm doing two of them by myself and the 1/3 is because I'm doing the swim portion of one with my husband (biking) and his father (running)! 

So now I'm all registered and very excited about them - but I've got some stuff to work thru I think.  My ankle is a new pain and I should probably discuss it with my dr, and my shoulder/rotater cuff is a problem and I need to figure out how to strengthen it.  Also, my tailbone hurts from sliding with the kids this winter. 

I am starting to think I'm just crazy to think I can do this much with this body!  Seems that once I turned 35 my body decided I shouldn't do this stuff.

Re :   What's the workout agenda for today?

I hear ya - when I miss a workout in the morning, my whole day feels "off" somehow.   I really want to try Jazzercize sometime.  I'm sure it's fun - you all keep talking about it.  :)
