Random thoughts III

My mother had osteomyelitis (basically staph infection in the bones) from the age of 13, and it would flare up periodically over the years...but the worst was the teenage years. She spent a year in a hospital bed with drains in her back when she was 13, and then had a 6 inch section of bone from her left shin when she was 17. She spent a year in a (non-electric) wheelchair, then crutches for a year, a year normal, then another six months in a wheelchair and two more years on crutches. She developed guns like nobody's business, and they were still pretty impressive when I was in elementary school.

Southern belle that she was, it embarrassed her to no end when I told other kids "Yeah? Well, my mom can beat up your dad!" :)
 
Ha, that gal is awesome. They had to do some activity in gym class where they designed a workout. Some of the boys were impressed with her biceps. One direct quote was, "Holy $ h!+!" She'll take those compliments all day long.

that is an awesome attitude.

I used to be really self-conscious about my arms (like high school age) because running 25k little bales through them in the summer made them really muscular. And then forearms with milking. Well, I mostly used my right arm for baling and held on with the left so I also felt lop-sided, ha. But it was a weird feeling like I shouldn't have such muscly arms because other girls don't. I like your daughter's attitude better :)


Now I want to try Boxter's two minute test. Knees can't touch, eh? Maybe I should wait another day, I'm a little bit sore from that and the gym stuff yesterday, ha.

That's another soft spot for me, women with body issues, especially when they're unfounded. Mrs. 00clone, has a body shape that many women would kill for (and some do kill themselves trying to get it), but she's self conscious of it and critical. (not as bad as some, at all, I mean, she's overall a positive person, but that is there) She's better than she once was, but man...I wish she could see herself thru my eyes...I tell her that regularly. While I know that no generalization is always true, it seems a man could be fat, pasty, and out of shape and still think he's 'hot', and a woman could be the most beautiful woman on the planet and still think she's ugly.

You bringing her to the wedding/RT First Annual Drink Up this weekend? I promise I won't hit on her. While sober. But if I drunk hit on her, you have permission to punch me.

Nah, need a weekend of rest after the travel...however, our marriage encounter on the first weekend of May got postponed, so I'm *really* hoping I can talk her into going to the movie night at Jack Trice on the 16th...although getting drunk and hitting on her will be significantly harder/more awkward at that.

I could probably make it happen. I'd never be allowed back in Jack Trice again. But I could probably make it happen.

Never doubt the Pants.

If I pushed myself on a 2 mule run, I could probably get in the high 70's-80. Sit ups? Major weakness. Having 4 kids can kill your abs. That is my excuse anyway.

I had major intestinal surgery that left me with what I call the triple-c-section scar (same locale as a c-section, just 2x to 3x wider). Sit ups have seemingly been an issue for me ever since. My excuse and I am sticking with it.

After I get over this upper respiratory thingy I am going to revisit the pushups and try the running test. Can’t even really run right now, lungs be a bit sickie.

And these guys will still make comments about how someone else has a fat *** or something. :skeptical:
 
interest rate LOCKED.


Now I promise not to cry sad tears if something crazy happens and they are in the 2's by the end of the next 7 weeks. Whatevs, we are locking a solid six tenths lower than what we were going to be at last year. Budgeted out this house based on 4.5 because we figured it would start creeping back up at some point. Never thought this would happen so even if it drops a bit more, I won't be too sad.

Review done, boss told me that yeah, I'm awesome.

When everything is all said, done and calculated, I may have done the best in the entire company, but my boss will still find a way to ***** about it.

If you'd had heard our conversations, you'd think I was on the verge of being fired with how worried he always was. At one point I even had to tell him "you realize I see EVERYONE else's numbers and know where I stand, right?"
