Went outside this afternoon, and I DID NOT MELT

World Market (Cost Plus) is opening up here today and I'm so freaking excited that I'm going to drive all the way the heck out there right now. There's two locations and I'm in the middle of both so not sure which one I'm going to. They used to be here and I even worked at the one near my culinary school 5 years ago part time. That location was so busy we had a line 20 people deep every single day when I needed to close down and leave to get to school so I was usually late. Then they shut down all of their stores here when I lived in Phoenix. What I could never ever understand was the 2 WM locations I used to go to in Phoenix were always completely dead yet those stores stayed open and they completely left MN which was always so busy at all of their stores. But now they're back and most of their old spaces are still vacant so they're going back into 2 of their old locations. I'm really hoping they also go back to the one that's super close to me but I'll take what I can get. I'm so excited! There were so many things I wanted to buy in LA last winter but didn't have room in my luggage. Better get going. They open in 45 min
Ooh Green Day just performed on America's Got Talent. I have no clue what they were doing on that show. (Justin Bieber was on it too) But I guess like U2 TV airtime is all good when you have new songs to perform.
And geeeez Billie Joe will NEVER age.
Holy crap it's 103 degrees here right now. I messaged my brother in the desert (Vegas) and it's only 93 there. What the crap??! I live on the coast, I protest this madness.
I think seeing two overweight girls in my boot camp last night helped me put my own progress in perspective. So instead of just walking or not going to the gym at all, I ran 3 miles today. My tush hurts like hell from all of the squats I did last night but I decided I could deal with the pain and just kept on going. I also kept cranking up the speed on the treadmill because I knew I could run at a faster rate than I have been lately. That felt super awesome. I have plans to walk/run around a 3 mile lake tomorrow with a friend so hopefully I will continue to stay motivated.
arw said:OMG....tonight started a new session of boot camp at the gym. Two kind of heavier gals signed up this time around. We were doing lighter workouts since it's a new session and one of them fell over during squats! My instructor always tells people to use a bench and sit during the squat if they're still not familiar with them but she chose to ignore that suggestion and ended up losing her balance and tipping over. The class changed from being called "boot camp" to total body conditioning because they felt like too many people were intimidated by the boot camp name. Since they changed the name we get a lot of people in the class that just are not ready for this type of workout and regret paying to take it. It's one of the few classes you actually have to pay for so I don't know how they found their way into signing up for this stuff without doing the research about what it is. There's no way I'd pay for a class without going to a preview of it before. Anyways I felt bad for her but at the same time it took everything I had in me to not laugh at her.
More power to them for trying to better themselves and lose weight. I've lost 60 lbs, but I remember at my heaviest feeling like my every move was being scrutinized, what I ate, how I worked out, etc. It wasn't fun. I'm sure they feel the same way.
Nope, I've never officially introduced myself. I've mostly been observing the forums for a few months, I'm generally not very trusting of anything online but U2 fans seem pretty nice and this or U2.com are the only places I've ever even considered posting on.
I'm just looking for a place to chat about U2 mostly, since I don't really know anyone to do that with, though I realize there are discussions like this that are unrelated.
I'm just one of those crazies that listens to nothing but U2... aka a fan! And don't ask me who's my favourite band member because it's too close hahaha.
So happy right now because it's one of the rare times where I'm free enough to listen to/watch a concert-length playlist of U2! All my top favourites
GraceRyan said:U2 fans nice? You haven't been everywhere in Interference, have you?
I've come to realize that in every fandom there is good (like peeps here) and bad. And sometimes it takes awhile to know the difference.
But hello! I see you are in my timezone and speaking of 70's temps. Are you in New England?

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the larger girls taking the class, because as you said some smaller people also have issues, but maybe they should have worked up towards it first. My friend has taken the class with me for the past few months and although she runs a few times a week she had a very hard time with the strength training. But she said right away there's no way she could have taken the class had she not at least been in shape to run a few miles.
So, I ordered my new iPhone5. I have had a lady boner for an iphone since it was announced 2 years ago that it would be coming to Verizon. But my EnV crapped out a few months before it came to Verizon, and I opted for a Droid. Now the time has come. My music and everything in one thing. For someone who rides a train and juggles two devices right now, this is exciting.
Comet, how's your mom? I was thinking of you the other day.
PS
ML>>>>do NOT mention the (other) F word till sept 20.....ok
i'm seeing bruuuuuce this weds!
oh...dance, dance,dance!!!
Good job you!
I'm def losing some pounds/inches but I'm not sure it's really healthy. I don't have time to eat. I'm working 14-16 hour days. I come home, have a beer, go to bed. Get up go to the gym... repeat...
But yeah, my jeans fit and Mr.Z noticed that I'm thinner
Yay for getting your new iphone! My kids have been trying to talk me into getting them for all of us and getting with the program, but I still love my Blackberry because it's a flip phone. I just love it. I tried having a non opening flip phone and it's like trying to talk on a piece of toast, i just hated it. I know I'm lame and old fashioned and I know I will have to make the move soon, but for now I don't want a piece of toast phone. *strokes flip phone with love*
My mom's doing good right now, and in fact she's going to visit my brother for a week this week, so I'm getting a break! I'm going to Vegas with my kids on Wednesday-Saturday and I'm so freakin' excited to just be gettin' the hell outta Dodge. I know what I do is (sorta) by choice, but it gets really REALLY hard so this break is needed.
By the way arw, I did take pics of my cake I need to upload and post. And I know I owe ya a PM too I swearz I'll do it before I leave the interwebz on Wednesday! I want to I just keep forgetting!
I'm also still debating leaving my computer at home and going totally dark. But then I think, who am I kidding? I'll get there and want my computer so bad!
I have the 2nd generation U2 video iPod from the year 0. And my phone is the cheapest HTC smartphone I could find. Don't have a contract, but my old thick phone died so I had to get a new one.
Wow. Just wow. Really, GQ?
So I say, to make all things equal and all ya know... a version of last year's GQ, the U2 in tuxes cover, the all nude version, you know for equality's sake and junk.
I must be the only sucker in here without an iPhone then
I have a U2 iPod. I love it. It's pretty.I've wanted a U2 iPod so bad! I don't care if they're old, having your favourite band's iPod just sounds cool (or to a non-fan, crazy/weird) hahaha.
