It's been so long probably since March or April since I've been there but I should be around tonight

UPDATE So 2 weeks ago my hotel ordered me some work pants for our new uniforms. I was not able to zip up and button the top and felt pretty depressed. My supervisor coyly asked if I would like a larger size. I said "No thanks, give me two weeks and they'll fit. I don't want a larger size to be my "enabler" to remain "comfortable" being bigger than I should be for my hight/frame/health." I gave myself that challenge. Took up skiing (thanx to Astralcrux) -Every Tuesday for at least 4 hours; I do some rebounding 2-4x's per week; I conduct strength training with resistance bands or 5 lb weights 2-4x's per week; and do some stretching/yoga 3-6x's per week (always feels good to really stretch after any workout). I do my best to watch what I eat. I haven't had pop in so long. I have an endless supply of water and tea at work and that's the same for when I'm home. I haven't had much alcohol, but I do not deprive myself.. some rough nights I'll make myself a yummy alcoholic concoction. I also just do my best to eat smaller meals: Some healthy cereal with skim milk when I get up. I'll have a piece of fresh fruit, then maybe a fiber bar, then go to work and they usually provide healthy stuff like soups, meat/cheese/crackers/fruit tray -- make a small plate with a lil of each. On my days off I will get something that I enjoy but only eat half of it, I will doggie-bag the other half (for next day's lunch) or share with whomever I'm out with. Today, I was asked to try the uniform on again. The pants fit!!!! Slightly tight but I can zip/button!!! Yesssssssssssssss

All these are so negative :( Everyone's been yanking my chain lately just wanted to assure: Were the above answers honest?

Am I the one he wants to be with? Will it be serious? Will we be happy together?

"Play Crack The Sky"--Brand New We sent out the S.O.S. call. It was a quarter past four, in the morning When the storm broke our second anchor line. Four months at sea. Four months of calm seas {only} To be pounded in the shallows off the tip of Montauk Point. They call 'em rogues. They travel fast and alone. One hundred foot faces of God's good ocean gone wrong. What they call love is a risk, 'Cause you will always get hit Out of nowhere by some wave And end up on your own. The hole in the hull defied the crew’s attempts, To bail us out. And flooded the engines and radio, And half buried bow. Your tongue is a rudder. It steers the whole ship. Sends your words past your lips Or keeps them safe behind your teeth. But the wrong words will strand you. Come off course while you sleep. Sweep your boat out to sea Or dashed to bits on the reef. The vessel groans The ocean pressures its frame. To the port I see the lighthouse Through the sleet and the rain. And I wish for one more day to give my Love and repay debts. But the morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west. They say that the captain stays fast with the ship, Through still and storm, But this ain't the Dakota, And the water's so cold, {We} won't have to fight for long. (This is the end.) This story's old but it goes on and on until we disappear, (This is the calm.) Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed while you were underneath, (We are the risen.) I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea, (After the storm.) I spoke the words but never gave a thought to what they all could mean, (Rest in the sea.) I know that this is what you want, a funeral keeps both of us apart. (Washed up on the beach.) You know that you are not alone, I need you like water in my lungs. [x2] This is the end. ...You never do see any other way...

When I get too anxious and think about something too deeply, it keeps me up all night and I get no sleep. I feel like I'm going crazy in a sense b/c I would go over the good/bad occurrences with a particular though that I've already experienced and just play around in my mind of conscious dreaming.

What I do when I'm watching some TV instead of sitting on the couch--- I take my two 5 pound weights, hold them with my elbows bent at a 90 degree angle while standing up moving in a rotation motion working my core. Sometimes while doing this I add punches while holding the weights. I do this until I'm too tired of moving that way. Next I would hold the wights at my side, arms straight and do side crunches. Really feel your obliques squeeze. Do at least 25x on each side work up to doing 100x for each side. Another fun one for your back is I would take my arms up a little bit, elbows bent slightly and pulse/squeeze your back. Like you have wings and your flying... Then I do some arm lifts: biceps and triceps. I also have the bean to do crunches, etc on too. But that one sometimes gets too comfortable and I just lay on it!

To pay down my debts/save for trips = adventure! Take care of myself better: eat right, exercise and read more (keeps my mind sharp and promotes better dreaming).... get a good night sleep every night also! Be fearless and follow my heart, a great reward might blossom from it!

Thanks for the input thus far I am starting to make plans to go see him in a few months... I'm thinking April, in between my birthday and his. These few months will seem long but worth the wait. Luckily I work for the hotel industry and I will be staying at a Hilton or Marriott over there. I just need to find a good flight RT because those can get pricey but I really think I will be okay to go financially! I've met people online before but met them in haste almost immediately after chatting with them. Things obviously didn't work there; however, I think I gave this relationship time to grow and I quite honestly have a good feeling about this.

I have been talking to this person for a long time, since I was a junior in high school - 8 years. We met through my childhood friend who was friends with him on bolt (the cool site before facebook, myspace, dgn... ) and she wanted me to add him so I figured, why not? When I saw him *his pictures* and started conversing with him it was instant mutual attraction. We would web-cam, call one another, on top of doing the AIM/messenger thingies about every day. I even saw him before in my dreams before being introduced! Here we are 8 years later, I'm still in MI and he's over in MT. He's been in the Navy and I've always been in school making okay money but not enough to go anywhere. Now that he's just in school, I am now making better money to possibly go see him. I'm nervous but totally excited. I also want to mention that we have gone though our motions of dating others, having experiences --good and bad-- and I think now is the time to meet and see what happens from there. I'm just posting this topic to see if anybody has insight on long distance relationships. If anyone has been in the situation before, knows of friends or acquaintances with this situation. Or whoever wants to talk about Napoleon Dynamite and his brother Kip's situation (LaFawnduh came from Detroit, MI to visit Kip somewhere in Idaho (which is near Montana, funny coincidence!) My friend drew this picture from looking at me and seeing a picture of him wiht his dog drawn in '06 I thought it was cute.

I hope the birthday boys had good birthdays!

Thank you You're pretty also!

I *might* be there w/ my friend SBMWS to meet up with AstralCrux

It will be fun everyone! I will for sure be there I will do my best to help people connect

I would be down to help out you know this B I'm also open to meeting new peoples. Just post a date/time and venue so I can plan to be available accordingly

So last Thursday the night before our trash pick up, Brandy came back from work and was like, "Val, did you know our neighbors across the street are throwing away a treadmill?! Let's get it!" So we grabbed a dolly and put it into the breezeway. Plugged it in and it worked!!!!! I guess they were throwing it away b/c the screen doesn't work telling you the distance or how many calories you burned. I really don't need that b/c the proof will be in the things I wear and how I feel. Another person's trash is sometimes another's answer! It's weird b/c earlier that day I was thinking of joining a gym but something told me not to! I love being able to just work out at home b/c the minute I'm done jogging in my own privacy I can just hop in the shower and relax.

I'm so proud of everybody who is on the same bandwagon as I am trying to lose weight and ultimately be healthier peoples. I have lost weight. I just eat the biggest meal of the day during lunch hours and have a lighter dinner. I basically cut out pop and junk food. I will have a Dr. Pepper once in awhile but I just don't crave sweets as much as I used to! Before I would put 5 tons of sugars and creamers in my coffees Not anymore! I finally fit into my very very nice black work pants again w/o gasping for air or feeling pain in my hips b/c they were too tight. And my other work pants I've been wearing can easily fall down on me now! It's an amazing feeling!!!! Keep up the good work everyone!!!!!!!!!!xoxo

"Wanna be" by Spice Girls. My co-worker is trying to find a funny song for his phone's ring tone hehe

I am feeling like *it* is all under control... for now.

I've seen them before awhile back, they're pretty sweet! If I have the night off I might go see them again.

Black cheekies with pink lace.
