I could kill Monty right now. He''s developed this habit of clawing the carpet at our bedroom door when he wants to come in. He''s pulling out the carpet now...Little f-er needs to knock it off. Sunny, I''d have the quilt dry cleaned and then consider hanging it on your wall, not putting it on the bed.

Yeah, it''s definitely not going back on the bed.

In other pissy news, I think the downtown Macy''s would be better off if monkeys were working there. Seriously. This girl who rang me up last week looked like she walked off the set of a Gwen Stefani video (all harajuku-y) and the guy today was rude and the girl was effing stupid! I almost threw my shoes that I didn''t buy at her face.

There are signs everywhere for 10% off when you use your Macy''s card. But apparently not on this one pair of shoes. WTF?!?! This day sucks.

Argh. So sorry about that, sunny! Nothing makes me more like this:

than poor customer service.

Maybe it''s the holiday hires that know they''re getting canned soon anyway, so they just feel like they can do whatever???

 

[vc10um]

Okay. Eligible for phone upgrade on Verizon and need to get rid of my RAZR...the battery just ain''t what it use to be.

Waffling between two:

LG Chocolate 3 (flip phone)
LG enV 3 (flips open to a QWERTY)

Anyone have either of these? I really like my flip phone, so that pulls me to the Chocolate, but then I text more than I talk, generally, which leads me toward the enV. Any suggestions, ladies?

 

[sunnyd]

I know, that''s what I was thinking. How did Harajuku girl get hired?!? She had orange hair and was wearing a damn tutu practically! I was so confused...

Well I loved my Chocolate (the first, so I don''t know if they''ve gotten better or worse). I swtiched to ATT with DH and was sad to give it up!

But it was hard to text on because it was so little. Not familiar with the enV.

...Mini dressed her???

And thx for the input on phones! My officemate also has a chocolate and she likes it...

 

[FrekeChild]

Hi guys! I''m bored and not wanting to be productive. Odds are I will have to be soon anyway, but I''d rather come hang out with you guys.

What is new in the world of ST that I haven''t read already in the past 20 minutes?

 

[vc10um]

Hey Freke!

As far as new...it''s been pretty slow around here for the past couple days since people have only been in and out...but I think I''m still hung up on jcar''s amazing-sounding cheese and waiting to hear how her boy and LP''s boy do with their beer!

 

[sunnyd]

What is the world coming to?!

Totally getting this for my SIL''s bday.

HAHAHAHA

...is he even LEGAL yet?!?!

 

[FrekeChild]

LMAO Sunny! Why are they selling that at NORDIES?!

Ok, so I decided to be productive (aka, go look at my shoes) and ended up trying to decide what to pack in what bags.

Now I''m sitting here pondering what I should wear to my bachelorette party. Ideas?

 

[vc10um]

Oh man, Freke! With your shoe collection, I''d pick my shoes first, and then pick my outfit from there! Didn''t you buy a hot pink pair a few months back? I''d probably start there.

Sassy, girly, and perfect for a bachelorette! And you can never go wrong with an LBD!

Alright ladies, I''m off to the gym!

Just realized that, if my timeline (which is about A''s timeline) works out, I have to buy a wedding dress in about 10 months. Time to start working off the lbs!!! (I want to drop about 35 by the time I buy my dress...totally doable in 10 months!)

 

[sunnyd]

I know! I''m calling shenanigans on that one. And NO, he''s not LEGAL!!! It''s so weird that people think that men are perves for ogling teen girls, but there are grown a$$ women drooling over this guy and it''s fine!

Freke, I''m with VC. Pick shoes, then apparel. LOL, I''m wondering how I''m going to bring all the shoes I want on my HM, and I don''t even have that many to choose from.

VC, have fun at the gym! 10 months, woohoo!!

 

[FrekeChild]

How many shoes are you thinking about taking sunny?

I''m trying SO HARD to keep it to 4 pairs of heels, but I don''t think I can just because I''m taking 2 pairs of wedding shoes. BAH.

Flippy floppies, purple heels, black heels, potentially pink wedges...running shoes because it''ll be freezing here and on the plane, okay maybe that''s it. Four for a week isn''t so bad, right?

Only 2 pairs of wedding shoes? Which ones didn''t make the cut? Didn''t you have 12 or something?

Naughty pants! Two pairs of wedding shoes. I have like 4 potentials.

One is for the wedding and the other pair is for walking around Vegas. So I have: wedding shoes, silver walking heels (2 inches), black Uggs, Crocs (TBD, I haven''t decided which pair yet), Champagne heels, black heels, and silver heels (these were just added and chosen because their neutrality, and their space conservation-ness). Considering I''m going for 6 days, that''s not too bad, right?

RIGHT?!

And you''re doing a heck of a lot better than I am!

I think I''ve hit the point where I have too many pairs of shoes, and still, not enough.

 

[sunnyd]

You''re bringing silver walking shoes and silver heels? LOL, dump one! How''s that for space conservation!

Which are the final wedding shoes? The Stewies?

It''s a long story. The silver walking shoes are exclusively for the wedding dress, and are satin peep toe with rhinestones, the other silver (strappy sequined sandaled) heels are for...extracurricular after-the-wedding type activities (if you know what I mean

).

Guess you''ll just have to wait and see!

I think we ALLLLLL know what you mean!!!

Sounds like those are perfect for those extracurriculars...

Gym was good. Had to cut the workout short to make sure I got a shower before the Tae Bo and Spinning classes let out, lol!

Go for a BB. That way you can PS and FB anywhere any time.

It is definitely doable in 10 months. I did it two years ago. Go to the gym and do 45-60 minutes of hard cardio 4-5 days a week and use a site like the daily plate or spark people to figure out your caloric budget and track your calories. And I''m a firm believer in there being a correlation between sessy time and weight loss. Every time I''ve lost a good amount of weight I''ve also been having sessy time on a more than regular basis.

Morning everyone.

NOT happy to be here this morning.

Morning ladies!!!!

Hehe! I lost 20 lbs in 2009 in about 5 months while I was half marathon training, all by tracking calories in vs. calories out on myfooddiary.com. When I actually started running my races, though, I stalled out and ran out of steam as far as recording and running went. Now that I''m back on track at the gym, I just have to get back in the recording groove again and I''ll be ready to watch those pounds go buh bye again! I''m just glad I''ve maintained that 20 lb loss from earlier this year...that''s something I''ve never really been able to do before...I always lose and then gain right back.

And I''ll definitely keep the sessy time in mind!

 

[Lauren8211]

I thought I was gaining weight, but I was cleaning out a closet yesterday, and my jeans from 4-5 years ago still fit. So I guess I''m ok.

I still could lose like 20 lbs. Thats my NY Resolution. Lets see how it goes...

I don''t think you need to lose ANY...you were STUNNING in your w-pics!!!

I, on the other hand, am way over the "healthy" level and even though I''m pretty sure I can run farther than most people I know, I still would like to get the number on the scale down to something a little better.

Thanks, VC, but yeah... I definitely could lose 20.

I am a lazy bum. I can barely run 5 feet without passing out. That is unhealthy. I eat crap food all day long, and never exercise. It''s terrible.

I am very envious that you can work out so consistently. I''m SO bad about it.

No worries. I''m envious that you''re so thin and don''t work out at all.

I know if I *don''t* work out I''ll blow up like the Goodyear Blimp. It''s a good enough motivation to get me to the gym.
