Hey Lina, good to have you back.

Didn't realize you were posting in here again. Enjoy your sabatical?

That Italian Resturaunt sounds really good! I get a serious craving for Italian food... and yes, I still miss Italy alot. Next time I'm in Europe probably not going back to Italy though, might go just a little further North Heard some good things about that region. and stuff.

Its what I like to call "Hate Rock" mostly. Just angry stuff... fun to listen to now and again but I get kinda tired of it. Then of course I have to turn on some classical pieces or perhaps a solo instrument and chill to that. I have some good techno thats mellow listening, really nice to relax too and its not hard hitting at all.

That menu must have been fun!

Hi TP!

I am back on and off for quick breaks...

I missed keeping up with you and your journal. How are things? I need to peak over at Avant once in a while and see what you are up to..

I do have a question for you, which is the same question I posted in D's journal.... For your carb cycling diet, do you care if you are eating chicken thighs or breast? Do you care about fat content? I may try the diet but little concerned about lack of fiber on those no/lo carb days.

I heard you are the initial Las Vegas Party/Orgy Planner.... is your family coming? It does sound like fun time and I'm hoping to get hubby to go, but no kiddies!!!

I heard Sweden is real nice

We went to Tuscany, Pisa, and then to Denmark on the same trip 6 years ago. Very different from Italy. Ever been to that area way North? You'll like it. It's very clean and beautiful.... Not to mention them ladies...uhm...one lady...

HMMM...hate rock huh? You do have a big range of taste.... I wish they had better radio selections around here so you at least get a sample of everything... living in a small town you either get top 40s or 80s music ... You still meditating? I have to get back to my Tuesday yoga classes they were really good for me...

I'd say I probably qualify as the Vegas instigator, but certainly not the planner. But no, the family won't be going as I will mostly be working.

Breasts are better, but thighs on occassion won't matter much, especially on the no and low carb days.

Essentially, this is a medium fat diet. You should be getting 40-60 grams daily, mostly EFAs, preferably 1/3 fish oil.

Denmark is like 30 mins from my house! we have a bridge from Copenhagen to Malmo (my town) now and it's on that bridge I did part of my half marathon!
You need to go here too babe, I'll treat you with some kesella and swedish dishes! I still owe you one for that package you sent me ya know!

 

[lina]

Jenny, I do remember the bridge or my family was telling us about it being constructed. Yes, I'll have to come visit again. We have family (hubby's side) in Denmark....so a visit should be in the near future! We had a great time in Denmark and I remember the Tivoli fair!

TP, thanks!!! We've been eating lots of grilled foods and thighs taste so much better. One thing I would change is add more fish to our diet, I'm aiming for 2-3 times a week. Fish oils? can I do flax instead? I do remember drinking Cod liver oil ( 1 tbs) straight when we were little and it wasn't that bad....

 

[Twin Peak]

Flax is overplayed, and fish oil is far superior. You by it in gel caps, and 10-20 a day is ideal.

Yep, it's only excisted for about 3 years.. It was such a big thing here when it was opened!
Oh relatives? That's great!! I'll be right over to see you!
I love Tivoli, it's got such an amazing aura around it I think! Really romantic and beautiful

 

[Burner02]

hiya Lina!
Happy 'hump day'!


Hey TP-
You saying 10 - 20 pills per day? oof..

Yo! Eggs! Dude! sounds we like listening tothe same shiat! Kinjda funny, I was ironing my uniform several years ago, listening to a classical cd..my buddy burst in to hang out or whatever..and stopped in his racks?
"What is this shit!?"

"frederick, fuqqin Chaupin"..now go away..


Hey Lins-
I was trying to describe your home to Kristen the other night. She and I went to dinner with some of her friends, then just drove around talking and such. (didn't want to go abckto either's home to watch tv, so just drove around.) I showed her some new areas that have been developed within the past couple years. I showed her the awesome vacant lot I wanna build a home on..if I win the lottery...(it is primo $$ lot...overlooks a valley and the whole front range mountains and the city the other direction.)
I even have a home in mind.
Kinda funny, my mind is usually spinning...acoupleweeks ago when I transitioned from nights to day shift, I had a hard time sleeping at night. well, one night, I was staying withi her...I couldn't sleep..so I designed the house I want to put on thatland in my mind....that took a few hours....

Wish I had some CAD software or something to put my idea to 'paper' aas it were...

 

[lina]

Burner, you have a home in mind? Damn, you are moving fast! I love looking at home plans and figuring which flow in each plan would be best.. Open houses, Decorator Showhouses are my fav! I think those sleepless nights are trying to tell you something. Please describe your home to me. Our house is like a Modern Colonial, with a Family room/sunroom on the left and a garage on the right. Above the garage we have the master bedroom which is huuuuuge but which is wasted space since we hardly use except for sleep and but I'd rather have that square footage as usable living space and make our kitchen bigger.

So tell us about Kristen... what is she like? I have to first give the official approval, don't forget, since I'm the OOBBS - Official Online Bitchy Big Sistah!

I`ve never looked at my big sister the way......um......I think I`ll go now

 

[Burner02]

ok..first and foremost...
Kristen:
31, single, never married, no kids. Two dogs, two cats.
She is a vet. She is a cow girl..she used to competition ride horses in rodeos.
Very nice, great personality. she has this cute little look, that you know she perfected as a kid: She will look up and to the left before she speaks sometimes...you'd have to see it.
Just a bit shorter than me (I am 5'9") I think she is 5'6 - 5'7.
A little quiet, but that compliments my big mouth..

She likes to hike and mtn bike..(Wahoo!) I have been wanting to find someone to go and do those things with! (now if I only had the time)
She keeps pretty busy, so my hectic schedule doesn't bother her too much.
If you might have read, Buff might be coming out here in a few weeks. we were thinking of meeting! If we could all hook up, and get some pix taken, you'd see her. (Kristen)
I had met someone on-line, but that didn't pan out and then Kris and I met....
(Actually, she goes to my gym..and had seen her several times...just took a LOONG time to summon up the courage to meet her)
Kinda funny, I guess I am kown to her and her friends as the 'hottie bouncer'..

 

[lina]

Oh, kuso!

Only you!!!

I don`t think so



So, I must admit, I`m not up to date in here...life good?

 

[Burner02]

the home? It's a rancher w/ a walkout basement. I got a great idea from a friend's home, actually two different friend's homes, but I made some changes..just wish I could put it on paper....

Wow, she sounds great! and smart! Settled.... I can't wait to see pics of you, buff and Kristen! So do you workout together? I agree with her, that's a good nickname for you! She must know you about your hardtimes at the club..

A ranch? Nah, not for me...

she took me to her spin class...man, she kicked my butt!

Naw, not a ranch, but ranch style, one level....(with a basement..)

 

[lina]

She kicked ya butt? Good, she's my kinda girl... doesn't let a man beat her!

Just joking....

I know you meant a ranch style of house... I still don't like 'm.....sorry.....

 

[Burner02]

well...the one friends ranch house was definately designed by a man...
the master bedroom is directly off the kitchen!
Now..how perfect is that?
Get finished with the 'he'n and she'n with your significant other' and pad on out to the fridge for a snack?


Gimme a few weeks....I will be up to par with her! (or die trying..)

 

[lina]

Either that, or if you run outa whipcream, you can just dash to the kitchen quickly to grab the chocolate syrup without the neighbours getting a quick glimpse of your booty!

Yep, I'm going to count the weeks down to see when you can catch up with her... Go Kristen, Go!!!! .....

 

[Burner02]

see? You WOULD like ranchers!
oh sure..vote for the girl....

 

[lina]

hehe... I guess, I would like ranchers! You are right!

I'm just making sure you get your cardio in buddy....

 

[Burner02]

Like the avi, BTW!

Not fighting them, calling them, at other sites I go to..........as well as being quite bust with work.

They`re sometimes the best ones

How long are your kids off for? My daughter is off just 6 weeks I think, but has 3 weeks summer camp in the middle!!

 

[Burner02]

morning, Lina!

 

[lina]

Morning Burner, why am I not smiling? I am smiling, just not showing any teeth! I was getting ready for bed so I took the false teeth out, they are sitting in the tray right now! .....
<----- Here's the teeth you are looking for! Just joking... hehe

Kuso, my kids have 13 weeks off from school.. Shoooot me!!!!!!!!!!!! I find that if I have friends come over, they seem to be more content than doing things with mom... So we have "Camp Mommy" and friends to keep them busy!

 

[naturaltan]

Well hello!!

Sounds like you're keeping out of trouble.

 

[lina]

Hi NT!!! How are things? Love those funny glasses!



Journal update:


I just did my performance on Saturday. I know I messed up a few times and was awfully nervous that I almost passed out...but took a few deep breaths and calmed down. It went ok. I know my family said I needed to smile more and relax. I wished we could do it again but it is a one time one shot deal. Ah well, next time....next year. All in all it was a good experience and I would do it again. It felt just great to have my family and friends there. So next year, I will try a figure comp in the spring.... that is my plan for now...

I know I need more muscles, but would like to stay lean for the summer. So probably a major bulk in the Fall, start cutting in Jan 2004 to get ready in May 2004.

Time for a new journal, maybe....
