  1. Just a quick stop at the cafe to say hi to ones I've missed. Glad some have joined us after being away for a little while. And those that are recovering from medical problems, get better soon. Gotta go and get the preliminary billing papers on all the partners desk before the end of the day.

  2. I missed breakfast at the cafe and I'm hungry! Went to sleep around midnight and was rudely awakened at 5:45 by the girl who opens the gym telling me she was having car trouble and can't get to the gym. I gave her the phone number of someone closer to the gym who could maybe help and tried to go back to sleep. She called me back at 6:00 to tell me she got a ride and was on her way but would be late. I don't know why she was calling me, but she was so upset and almost crying, thinking she'd lose her job. I told her it would be okay and that things like that happen. I hung up and managed to get to sleep - and get woken up again at 6:17 by one of our independent trainers who was in the parking lot with a client and couldn't get in, so I apologized to him. Arrrrrgh!

    Got up and discovered my internet was down and got to spend way too long on the phone with a way too rude Comcast Guy.

    Then went and played tennis with temps in the high 30s - wearing a skirt, a jacket, scarf and a knit hat :) Did win my match, though!

    Now I'm working from 2:30 to 9:00. This is a long week of much longer hours than I'm used to, but it'll help my mechanic bill!

  3. Hi GD! I hope your Jeep runs well after the repairs! It's been a crazy day (and last night) with the why thread!! LOL... Congrats on winning your match, gotta get in shape for you upcoming tourney! I absolutely could not play golf this week, too cold for me to wear a skirt, and I can't seem to play in long pants! They need to make some kind of warm leggins/tights that we could wear with skits that wouldn't look stupid.....!

  5. Everyone was making fun of my blue, goose-bumped legs, AV :(

    Linda, no, not much - I've been getting busy that laast couple of weeks and that's always when I eat really badly :(

  7. AV - I'm not PLAYING in the tournament - it's a professional men's tournament.

    I'm the co-ordinator of transportation and head of maybe 30 or so drivers. I take care of picking them up from the airport and taking them to the airport, to and from the hotel, dinner, movies, gym, whatever they want to do. They call me, email, or come in, request rides for certain times or right away and I send a driver to take care of them. It's a lot of work coordinating which driver needs to be where when, to make sure noone's forgotten, everyone's on time and to make sure there's always enough drivers available to take care of the players.

    Linda, yes I like all of those! I've been eating some soup lately because of my sore throat - getting a bit tired of that :)

  8. Do you have a Trader Joes near you? They have brown rice (and white) in a microwaveable bowl. My Target carries a 3 pack of canned chicken, 1 serving each. Make the rice, dump in a small can of chicken or a small pack of tuna and ta-da! Dinner! REGARDLESS of the time ;) My boss has been buying Annie Chun instant soups at Trader Joes and adding the chicken or tuna to that. My Target also sells the Annie Chun instant soups but surprisingly, Trader Joes is $1 cheaper than Target!

  10. I DO like to try and look nice for the good-looking tennis players :) Hard to do wearing a black pants and khaki polo uniform, though ;-)

    No Trader Joe's here, Linda. I had looked them up online because several TDKers have mentioned them and I was hoping to find one :(
    I have found something great at Albertson's though! Little microwaveable bowls of rice that you put in the microwave for a minute and then you have rice!!! Leave it to me to discover this as a great thing to mix in Mi's wet food when he gets an upset tummy, but never considered for myself! :)
    I'm going to give it a try with the tuna and chicken. Thanks!
