Thats awesome that you had such a great time! Great food at weddings seems to be more apparant nowadays...thank goodness for that! I never quite understood the whole cheap cardboard food presented pretty for weddings...Id much rather some good ol downhome food...Gimme some steak not a sliver of some fancy hightop undercooked oversalted bologna crap! (seen some crazy wedding stuff people pick....makes ya go EEK!)

Getting back on track after weddings and such is never easy...especially in the summer with this heat and humidity...ugh...definitely a challenge...but if it weren't we would all be size 2s, and more than likely unhealthy size 2s though.

i sure hope you are doing better today! afterall, it is almost Friday, so that has got to be a feel good! hehe! hopefully we can get some decent workout friendly weather to stick around for a little. ALOT of people i know aren't feeling too well either...i think there is some bad stuff going around, and this weather is just making it soo much worse!

i am doing oki doki i suppose...more frustrated than anything, which is why i think this weight won't take a hike. well, i mean, it does go biking, but i want it to take a hike without me!!! jeesh, perhaps i need to be more specific next time i tell my body jiggles to get lost or take a hike! i don't want to go with it!!

but for some everyday laughter, i do have a holy schnickies story for ya'll!

i have to preface the story with something i have noticed over the past 3 weeks riding my bike to & from work. everyday of riding i have noticed more and more holes being dug up on the side of the roads. they are rectangular in shape, and the size of a casket...but more of a lets just chuck this dead dude in the hole and cover him up size. i thought it was odd but just kept on riding...whats the worst that could happen?

well, i was riding my bike to work this morning when i was coming down brown ave under rte293/101 and i look over to my right. i see two men wearing those yellow/orange flashy construction vests carrying what looks to be a corpse in a bodybag. there is a HUGE mess that looks like broken glass all over the road, so i immediately start looking for the cars that were involved in the car crash...nothing there! no cars, no firetrucks, ambulances, no hearse, no nothing! something is just not right about this.

so my mind drifts off and starts wandering WTF is happening, and maybe i should be a detective. (still havent found another job yet) i was so consumed with thinking about how maybe it would be on the news later that a mysterious hit and run happened...but there was such a mess, that it would've been a hit and push your car away before you get caught. maybe it was a raccoon that ran across the road (which reminds me, i saw a super cute and fluffy one yesterday with the cutest little white fluff ball paws, til i realized it was dead..erg) maybe it was....OH SCHNICKIES! i forgot to pay attention to the road and almost ran this guy w/ a stroller over and just about went head first into the cross walking blinky sign!

it dawned on me then that it would've been a hit and push your car away before you get caught and dont forget to leave your baby & their stroller w/ the construction worker dressed guy. still not making sense, i remembered the casket holes in the side of the road and wondered if that is what they do with the john doe's of highly bizarre mysterious car crashes that they don't want anyone to know about...maybe thats what that sewage smell is when i ride through certain parts of town is...

all the while my mind is going faster than i am biking i hear the stroller guy yelling...

turns out, it wasnt a stroller afterall. it was one of those road painting machines and they were painting the new white on the road...and my tires...

all my CSI work to waste.... it was just a bunch of messy construction painters...i was soo sad...and then in case my fun box wasn't smashed enough, those casket holes were for cement for new street signs...

FOOEY!! i thought i was onto something...

Thanks for asking about me steph. I am doing okay. I am still not feeling 100%. I really cant take this humidity! I am really drinking my water and focusing on staying cool. I am going to go to the gym tonite, hoping that getting a work out will help me to feel better. How are you guys doing?

I've been unwell for the past almost 3 weeks and haven't done much of anything, not even at home.

She's a bad influence on me.

MISSTOYOU & BIKERBABYZ have been walking at Livingston Park Mondays & Thursdays at 6:30pm. Although I have been a slacker lately (wicked crazy busy trying to find a new job, and deal with my 3 broken vehicles)

I am trying to pick up going on Sundays though. I really want something fun to do on Sundays...even just a few hours walking at Livingston works. I sometimes will walk from Elm St Manchester down to the gas station next to Bull Run on Hooksett Rd in Hooksett. I buy a water and walk back, that walk is fun too.

Livingston Park/Derryfield is East side depending on who you ask...although technically according to a map, it is really North End Manchester..still Manchester none the less! Most people use the river as the divider for East & West, and Queen City Ave for North & South.

I live a few blocks behind Pappy's Pizza~ So I am rather close to Livingston Park. I sometimes go running when I am bored and end up there!

I work near the airport and am usually home by 5pm.. so 5/530 works a little better for me, but I can do 6/630 some nights too though.

What nights and duration of time would you like to go?

I'm an early bedtime person ( 8pm ) so I think around 6 or 6:30 would be good. As for where, I don't have any set area. I'm thinking Livingston Park would be nice or even Derryfield (lots of hills- go glutes!). I live on that side of Manchester and still don't know which side that is after a year!

Last week, ontop of my goal to put my bikini on without it sobbing, a coworker talked me into training for a marathon ( thankfully, she wants to walk, not run it!).I'm finding it harder and harder to go to bed at 8pm and be up at 4. I keep missing my morning workouts and doing my strength training in the evening. In order to be able to do the marathon, I need to walk either 6 miles per day 5 days a week or 5 miles per day 6 days a week.

So I'm wondering if there's anyone brave out there who wants to be my walking buddy in the evenings?



lol
