The starlings are passing through and BOY were they loud. There were a gazillion of them and I couldn't even hear myself think when they came through. I like to watch them though--unless they're eating my sunflower seeds and then I like to shoot them (just kidding about that part).So lately if I'm telling you something I'll add "or whatever" on to the end of my sentence. I don't know where this came from or why I'm saying it, but I'm getting on my nerves. For example, here are some things I said today:
"Can you go to the store for me or whatever?"
"We can go eat or whatever."
"Feed Hopper (our outside dog) and pick up those cans or whatever."
"I've gotta go downstairs and put those clothes in the washer or whatever."
I mean, WHAT the heck? And if I've said it once, I've said it 50 times today. I've been catching myself saying it, like when we went out to eat the other night (or whatever) it seems like I said it on the end of everything I said, and if I caught myself in time I was STILL adding it mentally. I wanted to punch me in the face. ;) I give you permission, dear reader, to slap me (but just on the arm) if you hear me say it. ;) Ugh! I don't know what's going on. I've already got things I say that I don't need to say, like "Awesome!" (Right, Eric?) and I can't quit doing that either, but that came from Brooke. I just don't know where the "or whatever" came from but I want it to go back.
I worked out for about two hours today. That includes 30 minutes in the deliciously hot sauna. Oh, it felt great! However, I didn't sweat nearly as much as I usually do...in fact, I barely had any sweat at all. I wonder why that is. I usually come out of there looking like I had a shower. Gross visual I know, but it feels so wonderful. Today I bet I didn't even have one bead of sweat...
I also weighed myself and do not have over 100 lbs. to lose like I thought I did to reach the "perfect" weight for my 5'4" frame. I was pleased about that. BUT, that doesn't mean that I don't have right at 100 lbs. to lose. Basically I'll have to lose a girl the age 9 or 10. I realllllllllllllly hope I do it this time. I wonder how many times I've said that though? Anyway, day by day--that's how I'm going to take it.
My calves have been knotting up like crazy the past few days. I don't know why but you can feel knots in them about the size of golf balls. My calf will cramp up and then just feel knotty, but that's about it. Weird, huh?
Happy Birthday, Dona! Love you! :) (You're older than me. Hee hee!) ;)

I know what you mean... I have been in the ya' know mode... I didn't realize I was doing it until Shannon and the kids started teasing me about it and now it is driving me BATTY! :(
Way to go on the workout! WOOHOO!
I have a lot of weight to lose and I have said "I'm gonna do it" too many times to count... but one of those times will be the one... so don't despair! Love to you my friend!
Love,
Chas
E and I went on a "yo" kick several years ago and added "yo" to everything we said. Luckily we just did it to each other so we didn't get on everyone else's nerves. We started making ourselves nuts and had to force ourselves to stop. I think we were in Virginia during the worse "yo" times.
I didn't notice the "whatever" the other night. But I will now. Thanks!
If I could just stop saying "ya know?" I'd be happy. And one that gets me is like. People that say like constantly make me bonkers. It's like, grow up! (Totally)
Hehe. This post made me giggle.
You can loose that small child! I've already last a 40 lb toddler, just need to loose the other 40 and I'll be there. You can do it! When you hit a plateau (as I have, I haven't lost any weight in over a month but I'm still feeling great and my clothes are still getting looser, gaining muscle I reckon) don't get frustrated and stop. You can do it and you are doing it right. Of course, you are just freaking gorgeous anyway even carrying that child around.
I love you.
Whatever...hehe.
I personally started with 'Uffdah' and that is from being around Norwegians!
So Uffdah, whatever!
Good girl for working out! When you get stronger then you can come and hike yourself around my hills with me in our deep valleys...and
SNOW!
Hehehe...I have the same sort of problem. I don't say it as much as I used to, but my phrase is "you aren't just kidding". My pal Karla's response was always "no, I'm not [kidding]". Why do certain phrases pop up and get stuck in our brains????? My most used phrase is "I'm just saying". ie, "you should leave for work since it's 2:30 (he has to be there at 3)...I'm just sayin...."
It drives me crazy and that ain't far to go!!!
