[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Go Florida! (No, I am not really a big Florida fan, but I did want them to win this game) They really did play well. They are verra verra fast.
Yay for ChiKat having a good first day!
Yay for Suzi's trainee having a brain!
Yay for B&E and Baby! So excited for them!
Because she said it so well.
I am alone in a quiet office, with a full pot of coffee. The boys went back to school today. Ah, a schedule of sorts.
The Florida/OSU game is on in my office right now, so that the guys who watched it live at 3:00 am can watch it again, theoretically more coherently.
Random thoughts: I read somewhere that walking 10,000 steps a day is a good way to lose weight. So I got a pedometer. Turns out I already walk well over that, just in a normal day. More drastic measures are indicated (although NOT fat calipers!).
I was just offered a job in DC. They want me to start now. Um. Sorry, no.
Shopping for housing in DC gives me anxiety attacks.
I've decided that kobold society (in D&D, but really, kobold society anywhere) should look like naked mole rat society.

Yeah, that commute would be a bitch.

That is so funny. A friend and I were just talking about that. She goes to Curves and they weighed/measured her yesterday. This is someone who is 4'11'', 108 pounds dripping wet and they told her based on the calipers that she was 30% bodyfat. Uhm, no. No way. Also, that a friend of hers lost over 100 pounds just walking. I'm guessing more than 10,000 steps a day because she doesn't have a driver's license. Give up your car, Raq!
She goes to Curves and they used fat calipers? That's kinda crazy. I'm a Curves member also, and mine has some kind of electronic body fat calculator, but no calipers. I think those would end up in the ass of anyone that tried to use them on me. I DON'T NEED A TOOL TO SEE I'M FAT, BITCH.

Indeed. I think I'm going to go back to walking to work. We started driving in a couple months ago because Christmas packages were coming in and we needed the car to bring them home. But the weather's nice, so walking to work it is!
This explains why I'm fanatical about good walking shoes, though.
has some kind of electronic body fat calculator,
I don't trust those either. Stick me in a tank of water, it's the only thing I'll believe.
Yay for BABY!!! Thanks for letting us know, MM.
And Curves? Don't even tell me how fat I am. If I come to your joint, it's with the understanding that I'm too fat. Let's just get to working on making me less so. If I start to get too thin
sorry, had to stop laughing
then you can start measuring my body fat, to make sure I'm not emaciated.
The only thing that makes me cranky about the body fat calculator thing is that I've been gym-ming it up since April and my numbers. haven't. moved. Any of them. Gah.

good walking shoes
I could use some recommendations for good walking shoes. I have a bunch of ankle supporting, walking boots (Merrill's and the like) but they are so heavy. It turns out that the most comfortable walking shoes I have at the moment are some fairly flimsy running shoes...New Balance I think. They feel great while I'm walking the distance, but later I have muscle twinges.
Not yet found the definitive walking shoe.
