Whine/vent/boo goes here:

[thom]

I have one I need to share today. So, I figured somebody else might too...

[thom]

Yesterday I managed to get in a fight with a metal hitch. Stupid accident, but now I have a giant welt and bruise on my quad about the size of an orange. It hurts to bend too much, but I can still walk almost normal. Run, not so much. I probably just need to keep icing and take a few rest days.

Not such a big deal, but it was SO cool and beautiful this morning. Like probably high 40's with a light, gorgeous breeze. And it's my birthday. I always run on my birthday. So, boo hoo.

I'm also worried about tottering around in my favorite heels at my sister's wedding on Saturday. WHY am I so accident prone?

{end of vent forever. no more complaining. }

[Stingyshark]

wheeee Happy Birthday Lisa !! (@thom22)

[Stingyshark]

The BABY reallllly wants crab legs.. but DH will NOT go get any. RUDE. 


and i REALLY want to know what we are having. Not knowing is killing me - I just want to call it something besides THE BABY.. or IT. 

[taratru]

Happy birthday, Lisa!

WHY IS IT SO HOT?!?!? It's 96 on my porch. In the shade. I'd be glad we're going camping tomorrow, but it's going to be just as hot there. Boo.

Happy birthday!! You are not the only klutz.

I dropped the Bosu ball on my shin. I have a tennis ball sized knot and a lovely bruise forming. Why am I intent on injuring every body part???

Happy birthday!

HBD Lisa!

I know this sounds silly, but sometimes I feel like my knee is never going to heal. I had a really rough day at PT today and I hurt so bad. Also, my other knee is popping every time I go up and/or down the stairs and its been bothering me too. I just want to be all healed up already!! Waaaah! Also, I am really stressed at work (and have seriously considered quitting). Running is my best stress reliever and nothing else "does it" for me. Do you have any idea how stressful it is to not be able to turn to your stress reliever when you're stressed? Double Waaah!!

OK, vent over. It felt good to let my whines out.

Happy Birthday Lisa! thom

Stingyshark - I called DD IT for the whole time, it drove H crazy.

My vent: I'm starving to death waiting to eat dinner because H is out cutting the grass. I could just cook the dinner, but I stopped cooking a few months ago in protest because H told me that it 'Wasn't a value add activity.' I refuse to give in. I may never cook (when he is home) again.

[osulori]

Happy Birthday Lisa!

Stingyshark-when is your a/s? Mine was at 18.5 weeks and lord that first 18.5 weeks draaaaaagged.

Speaking of things dragging, here is my whine. You guys can guess what it is. I'M STILL PREGNANT. Yes I know I'm just now 39 weeks (well, as of tomorrow) but damnit we are ready to meet this kid and I am pretty much done being pregnant.

[thom]

Brit, so does this mean he is cooking or you're going out?

Honestly though, lots of things take time & time IS valuable. I get your H's point, on things like cleaning if you can afford to hire it done. But cooking is (usually) enjoyable, healthy, and a way to feed, care for, and nurture your family. (I do have issues with wanting to feed people always, but so be it...)

Good luck with your stance on this!

[Brit]

thom - It means that he cooks dinner every night. Tonight we are having seared ahi, grilled kale, and quinoa. Eventually. Usually he has dinner ready in time to feed DD at 6. Tonight is kind of an outlier. Still, I won't budge on my not cooking thing. It is a matter of principle now.

OMG, H and I had this same conversation just this week! Men!

July 30th... an ETERNITY away!  :N:

i'm hoping to find out on the 20th - I'm going to an event where they will have free 3d/4d ultrasounds... fingers crossed that I'm there early enough, and that they will/are able to tell.

[hannahb]

My back hurts. I think my running days may be coming to an end soon. I'm telling myself that my back hurts from body pump because I'd rather give that up...we shall see

[sadlebred]

Happy Birthday, Lisa!

So I'm confused   It's a value added activity for him, but not you??  I am not understanding!

I have no idea. But the point was that he was not "counting" it as a chore when I did it. So if I was cooking dinner and was like "Hey, can you do XYZ while I cook dinner, he was all 'You're not doing chores, so why should I get off my butt?'" Now, he cooks dinner and that frees me up to clean, fold laundry, whatever. So I do count it as value add, but he counts it as goofing off in the kitchen.

I swear my H is really awesome, but this 'cooking is not value add' thing really chapped my ass. I promise he has other redeaming qualities, this just wasn't one of them.

[lb2006]

Understood. That would chap my ass too. And from then on, I would not be cooking

[pixy0stix]

My protein powder tastes like ass. However if I don't drink it I feel sluggish for the rest of the day. Catch 22.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY thom

[gt7301b]

My vent is I am already ready for summer to be over. I don't have any races on my schedule cause who wants to race in the heat and/or twilight in July and August.

I can't wait for September/October. I want to DO ALL THE RACES and run in the nice weather.

[shorty20]

My feet hurt. I've been a dumbass and been wearing sandals and flip flops to work all summer, and it's really not helping my plantar fasciitis. I have my sneakers and orthotics on today, so that's helping. I really need to get more supportive work friendly shoes.

[emuni04]

Vent: I'm in a wedding in a week and have to find champagne dress shoes. Do you know how hard it is to find champagne shoes? WTF, why not just gold? So much easier!

Whine: L needs to learn how to walk/crawl/something. My feet and knees get so stiff and achy and my left knee is really starting to bother me when running (I carry her on my left side). What happened to my 5 pound baby? She's now 75th percent for weight, and it's taking a toll on Mom!!!!

[mcc]

Happy birthday thom

My fridge died and I have meat sitting in a cooler just waiting for the new one to be installed. I can't go to the gym until after it's installed. Grr!

[zoidberg]

I am going insane not being able to work out like normal. I did yoga this week, and my daily walking commute. That is it. The doctor told me that I can do things that won't make me out of breath, but it turns out that everything more than walking makes me out of breath. UGH!

[Deleted]

I nailed my knee on the pedal of a spin bike this morning. Ow ow ow ow ow.

[quorra]

Happy birthday, Lisa
