THE DUCKS WON THE STANLEY CUP!!!!!

At some point in the next few days I hope to have a photo of MY Teemu, wearing a Ducks jersey and posing with a replica of the Cup (they have a bunch in the sports department from when the Stars won).

Let me know if you would like me to color correct it or anything.

[DogMa]

I will, Biki, thanks.

Weight up a smidge this morning (as in 0.2), but I so don't care. I was up all night with horrible back pain. No work today; I'm taking a muscle relaxant and I'm going to TRY to get some rest. I think it was all the twisting in the abs video yesterday. Owwwwwwww.

[bikipatra]

Ouch! Hope the meds and rest help!

Okay, so while watching television with DH (baseball game) and there is a blurb about the DUCKS winning.....I felt so darn smart 'cause I *knew* who the DUCKS were!!

Sorry to read about the back woes.....hopefully the muscle relaxants will give you relief today.

Feeling much better today, but WAY up because of all the salt I had yesterday (I kinda knew it would happen, so at least I was ready for it). I'm going to skip the treadmill and take one more day off from working out, to make sure I'm OK). Unfortunate timing, but today's also a planned "free" meal.

No word from Mr. Dallas. Don't know what's up there, unless he was expecting ME to call. But I called first the other time.

[bikipatra]

Glad you're feeling better. Today I am the achy one. I was telling Joleen I felt old. It's my hip joints that are bothering me.

[DogMa]

Oh, I'm sorry about that. I had some hip issues a few weeks ago, too. I think continuing to exercise (but modifying things when necessary) helped. Well, that and Aleve.

[DogMa]

Waaaaaaaah. Today's dead thing: a quarter of something. Squirrel? Bunny? Not enough left to say.

Sigh.

[alpha femme]

my dog is terribly jealous of your dogs.

I just tried a mile walk after a heavy dose of Motrin and made it half a mile before my back and hips started bothering me. My back has been doing so well I have slacked off on my PT "homework" exercises. My own fault.

[DogMa]

Well, yeah, if the pain is horrible, you need to rest it. I didn't do a thing yesterday except a little stretching, and I skipped my run this morning, too.

And Alex, that may be, but I'm not happy about it. As awful as the whole dead things are, the pieces are worse. Blech.

[DogMa]

Wow. Did a "calorie-blasting" treadmill workout from Shape magazine today instead of running, and I loved it. It's intervals, which I like, building up to a 10 incline. Supposed to burn a lot of calories in half an hour (which it did, according to my treadmill) and shape your legs.

I also started doing some butt and abs stuff that Jackie whateverhernameis from "Workout" on Bravo showed on TV yesterday. She swears they work.

(Oh, and for Chynna ... I started to do Ramp It Up this morning, but I couldn't get through it because of the dogs. Mojo freaks out when I work out, and it was too hot to leave them outside the whole 50 minutes. I'm going to have to try doing it another day in my bedroom instead, so I can close the door on her.)

[DogMa]

So it's 5 p.m. and I'm rethinking this whole singles happy hour thing I was supposed to go to. I'm already all settled at home, it's hot as blazes outside today, and it's going to mess up my eating schedule (plus I'd really like to get a second workout in this evening). Sigh. So maybe I won't go after all.

Meanwhile, I think I'm over Dallas Guy. We were talking about getting together this weekend, and he asked about my schedule. I said I had plans for tonight but nothing else for the weekend. He said he had plans during the day today, but was free tonight. I said OK, I guess that leaves Sunday. He said he doesn't like to be booked up every minute of the weekend (OK, yes, that sounds familiar) so he'd get back to me. So ... I don't know. Either he's strange and can only make plans one day of the weekend OR he's not really all that interested in meeting (in which case, why is he the one calling and e-mailing and all that?). Either way, I'm ready to forget the whole thing.

So anyway, I think I'm going to stay home, have a nice dinner, watch a movie or start another book and do Tae Bo Abs or something. I know I should get out to the happy-hour thing (it's Jewish singles, even), but I''m just not in the mood to get all dressed up and everything, after a couple of hours relaxing in my pjs. Plus it won't give me much time to have dinner before, unless I eat really early, but it'll be too late to eat by the time I get back.

Plus, who am I kidding? All that self-esteem I had the past couple of weeks? Pretty much gone right now for some reason.

[alpha femme]

your ass better be getting dressed to go out.

bad habits are easy to get into-- being a hermit in your pjs, hanging with the dogs is one of them. trust me-- i know. get out and be social. you have tomorrow to mull the qualities of 100% cotton vs a poly-blend.

[DogMa]

Errrrr ... nope, still here. Believe me, I've been a hermit a long time. Going out with FRIENDS can be hard sometimes, let alone going out to meet a bunch of strangers.

But it doesn't start for half an hour, and I'm only five or 10 minutes away, so I'm still thinking about it. A little.
