What is Orange Theory? There is one here, near my house actually. I thought it was just a regular gym. I guess not?
The weather is all over the place. Snow one day, 70 the next. It’s so crazy! Fall is also my favorite season. Thankfully we have had some fall like days.
@TheHizzy – We will also be in Hilo for the most part of our vacation and on Kilo for just a couple of days. You’ll have to chime in when you return and tell me (all of us in the forums that is) all the things you enjoyed doing. I’ve already got a list of things we def want to see/do.Not much going on this weekend for us but I’m looking forward to seeing my family over Thanksgiving (but not looking forward to the 12 hr drive).
@TheHizzy – where in Hawaii are you going? We are going to the big island in May and can’t wait to go. Have a awesome trip!
@theHizzy – sorry you had to have back surgery – sounds awful! I wish you a speed(ier) recovery! My MIL had back surgery a few years ago – the one where they fuse the lower part of your spine together. She still has a hard time getting around.
@Copa – thanks for the update! Glad things are going well. 🙂
I’m trying the Whole30 diet. Started yesterday. I have Crohn’s and I really hope this helps. i’ve been having a lot of flare-ups and I really don’t want to increase my meds without exhausting all other options. Plus – it will be good to break my sugar addiction (hopefully). I really love bread but I can give it up for 30 days to see if my symptoms improve. I don’t think I’ll sustain that exact lifestyle for all eternity (hello cheese!) but I don’t want to be sugar dependent so…here goes!
@MissDre – I’m so glad this is working out for you! I don’t comment on this thread much since I’m married but I had to just say I’m happy for you. And it is the little things that count. When is he visiting here?
@Copa – you have to tell us how your date went!
And happy Friday the 13th to everyone 🙂
@veritek33 – that is extremely rude! Glad you are moving on! And maybe you can say somethings in the exit interview if it won’t come back to haunt you.
@TheHizzy – I thought my kids would get easier as they got older too. And they did in some ways. But now it’s Adult Kid Problems (mostly). We have a 22 yo daughter who just can’t seem to get things together. Though she is starting vet tech school (part-time) in October. But she can’t seem to get a job. (she had a retail job but broke her foot at home and couldn’t work for a long while). She’s been looking/applying for 2-3 months! I’m really frustrated about that as that was the deal. She pay for her car/insurance and she can stay with us. Sigh…I don’t want her to be homeless and she does seem to have more direction now with school and all but she still needs to be able to pay her bills!
Our other daughter is 17 and a senior in HS, so almost done with her. She is the opposite. Has had a job for a year and pays everything on time (we pay for her car and she pays the insurance). I know technically she isn’t an adult but acts more like one than her older sister.
And these are our own kids! They fight like cats and dogs too..such different personalities…like night and day.
I love them both but I really can’t wait to have the house to ourselves!
Ok…end rant…sorry!@Copa – OMG – that dog (and therefor your dog) is the cutest! No wonder you fell in love with him. I’m sure you know training takes time and of course there will be accidents. Glad you have a system with the neighbor, I’m sure that helps a lot! Our two dogs are older now but I remember puppy stage well. Our pug/Dotson mix took forever to potty train (like 4-5 months). Our schnauzer terrier mix only took about 2 weeks. I hope yours trains fast!
Congrats Veritek! So happy for you!
@Copa – congrats on your puppy too! I don’t recall…what kind of pup? How are things going so far??
@ktthat – Good luck meeting the parents! I can’t imagine meeting the parents the first time and staying with them for 4 days…Yikes! But I’m sure you’ll do great!
I barely remember the first meeting of my husbands parents. Maybe I was so nervous I blocked it out? IDK. But, his dad was a teacher at the junior high I went to so I knew who he was (I didn’t have him as a teacher). Plus his brother is my age and we graduated from the same school, so I knew who his brother was already too. Weird.
I’m 41 and have been married for 18 years so I have no idea about the dating scene these days. I read all of your posts and I am really thankful I’m married and our relationship is good!
@Copa – I’m so sorry! I know that was incredibly difficult and heartbreaking. I would have done the same thing, crying non-stop that is. My little dog is a schnauzer terrier mix and she is MY dog meaning we’ve had a bond from the very beginning. She loves all the house members but ultimately, she’s always where I am, unless there is food. She’s a foodie. Definitely go back to cats if they are easier for you.
@Copa – Awe…take comfort in that the puppy is going to a good forever home! I hope you have time to eventually adopt one yourself as it sounds like you’d really like to have a puppy!
Everyone’s Valentines sounds so happy! My husband took me to…Waffle house. IT was so out there and totally unexpected. You had to actually have reservations. They went all out for decorations which was weird for a waffle house. But it was fun and memorable 🙂
Hoping to get more hiking in this weekend. With the unseasonably warm temps, it’s nice to get out. Plus one of our dogs needs to loose weight and the other needs to strengthen her let up since she had knee surgery last November. Small trips until we all get into more hiking shape!
