    Wow, you must be in shape to be a spinning instructor! Most of us here do not do much exercize, except to bring the glass to the mouth....lol. Actually some have started going to the gym, and I hope to start doing better, myself. Where (roughly) do you live? I live in North Alabama, but am from Hawaii (my parents still live there, and we go back several generations in the islands). My name is Wahine, aka Kathy, aka Katrinka, aka Katrinka da drinka, aka Wawa, aka Roger Wahine, aka Roger Katrinka, aka Raquelle Leather Rock........can you tell I answer to almost anything?

    Nice to meet you!!

    I'm in Michigan.

    I have a saying....Voro, Ergo, Verso....I eat, therefore, I spin.  :-)  I could change it to "Bibo, Ergo, Verso", I drink, therefore, I spin.

    Bringing a glass to your mouth is hard work, especially with stitches and heating pads and ice packs and sh*t.

    Last post for the night. Have felt like shit all day, finally got on couch in Jammie's hour ago. DD kept yelling at me through house for dis or dat, kep getting up. Her dad gave her a cup of juice in living room, which I don't allow her to take out of kitchen because she is accident prone. Sat down on couch AGAIN and DH said he would bring my drink in a sec, then we all watch Fear Factor. So DD is beside me on couch, Fear Factor just starts, DH brings me a glass, and I think he must of stirred it and hit de glass, so as soon as he hands it to me, I hear a crack, and blackberry bourbon starts to leak down my hand. I yell for a rag, DD just looks at me like she's stupid, DH is just looking in disbelief, finally takes glass through kitchen, streaming the good stuff all over hardwood floor. Then says "get up and help me clean this" I say "what part of I feel like shit do u not understand??" I tell DD to go help clean it, she gets up and WALKS RIGHT THROUGH mess on floor!!! She's ten!!! Really? So I get pissed and get up to do it myself, DH tells DD to get a bowl of water. In meantime, I have got mop out and have cleaned it up mostly, fuming entire time, while DD is over at counter filling up a cup with water???? WTH??? So then I'm really pissed, and mess in kitchen is clean, but I am mad at her for once again not following directions or paying attention to her surroundings. So she goes back to living room, DH tries to take up for her, which pisses me off more, and I come in living room to couch where she has her head buried crying. I'm thinking she feels bad for not paying attention and making a bad situation worse when she was asked to help, but no, she,s crying because she has now SPILLED HER FU#%*#g juice on the floor in the living room!! And it's just soakin in and she's doing nothing about it!!! OMG!!! And they wonder why we drink!!! DH sent her to her room crying told her to go to bed. He got out shampooed and cleaned up carpet, and where is he now??? Up there making sure she goes to sleep happy, says he was too hard on her!!! Are u really kidding me???? Two weeks ago today had total hysterectomy and was feeling great. Think the hormone thing is finally hitting, cause I could go up there right now and rip both there eyes out!!! J/k, but Urghhhhh!! Good night!

    Spinner.....can you go walking???  I did the day after my lumpectomy, and did a power walk 4 days later.  As I told my breast surgeon, it was better than paci.ng and driving my downstairs neighbor nuts.

    I want to tell you at the getgo that you should expect to be just fine.  This is not fun, but we get through.  Do the exercises they recommend.  (I was thrilled to have complete mobillity, and never lost it....however, I did lose it two years prior to that when I landed on my shoulder falling backwards in the parking lot of the ski area.)

    DorK.....didn't mean to give you the creeping crud.  SORRY!  Hoping just allergies.  I am so glad to be over it.

    I am drinking some good cab as I wait for potatoes and sweet potatoes to roast.  I had the most wonderful Christmas and a great ride today.  I am planning on partying all the way into 2012.

    Good luck Spinner.....I did two cycling events immediately following radiation, so you can get through this.  Not fun.  I am doing Arimidex now, and no worse for wear.  I considered myself to be a healthy woman whose body had been invaded.  I am still healthy.

    Talk to everyone later. - Claire

    Claire, thanks for your post!!  I feel encouraged!!  I am a triathlete and am itching to run/swim again.  I taught Spin this morning, but from the floor, not on the bike. Wasn't feeling quite ready for the upper body  movement of a spin class!

    Thanks for the encouraging words...I know my life will be normal again some day. Biggest problem is my family treating me like an invalid. i actually SNUCK out of the house to teach my spin class this morning!! OK, that's it. Tomorrow I'm going for a power walk!!!!!

    I am slim and have little boobies...so it's not like they're going to be bouncing all over the place!

    Awwwww Allison, that really sucks. Can totally understand why you got so upset and frustrated with your DD and DH. Sometimes things just happen, and keep happening, and keep happening....$hit Happens. Understandably it is hitting you even harder than normal, cuz you don't feel good. Then to have to clean it all up.....sheesh. Here is a BIG HUG (((Allison))) for you, dear friend. I don't know why I thought your DD was older....thought she was 12. Shes the same age as my g'son here. HE would do the same thing if he spilled something....would prolly freeze and wouldn't think of what he should do! But this same little boy made me the most beautiful silver angel earrings for Christmas! Hoping you can get a GOOD nights sleep and things will be much better in the morning.

    Oh look....Dorkie so SO passed out she can't even feel me splashing her....jk. Hope you get a good nights sleep too, DorK....you are still recuperating, remember!

    Spinners, Winners (Lori!), Chicken Dinners....

    A mother was working in the kitchen, listening to her five-year-old son playing with his new electric train in the living room. She heard the train stop and her son saying, "All of you bastards who want off, get the hell off now, 'cause this is the last stop! And all of you bastards, who are getting on, get your ass in the train because we're going down the tracks."
    The horrified mother went in and told her son, "We don't use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room and stay there for TWO HOURS. When you come out you may play with your train, but I want you to use nice language."
    Two hours later, the son came out of the bedroom and resumed playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say, "All passengers who are disembarking please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for travelling with us today and hope your trip was a pleasant one." She hears the little boy continue, "For those of you just boarding, we ask you to stow all of your hand luggage under your seat. Remember, there is no smoking on the train. We hope you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today." As the mother began to smile, the child added, "For those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the fat bitch in the kitchen."

    OMG Bernie, Love those jokes....the punch line about the fat bitch in the kitchen had me rolling, too! AND the diet....yeah, isn't that a normal day??? LOL.

    Allison, slow week at ICONS, just might mean I can get fit in for a mani??? I haven't even done mine lately, and now since 1 big toe nail is missing, really can't do a pedi. Keeping that one covered with a big bandage....looks better! Nice that you got to sleep in....yay for that!!!

Since your next surgery is on the BIG National Championship game day for ALABAMA to whip LSU's butt, I should be able to remember that date!

    Allison, so glad that today is a better day. Yikes about spilling de wine and juice on your carpets, glad it all came out. I have just one room in my house where I do not allow anyone to eat or drink except on Christmas day or when I have VIP guests. I was a nervous nelly serving my guests in that room. It was just remodelded and is my "show" room.

    Scuby, I hope you are feeling better too. I have sneezed today but other than that, feel much better. Hope to see you for that coffee, yippee, me needs some Scuby luv! Will PM you. 

    Bernie, yippee, I've missed you. I hope you had a great Christmas and manageed not to fall off your bar stool. Great jokes and I love the diet! 

    I gained 12 pounds from Thanksgiving  until a week before my surgery but have managed to loose 8 of those of those pounds by eating healthy. Ya see, I had a short addiction to nachos, salsa and cheese, I was eating it twice a day. I am about to have some left over turkey and stuffing for lunch and am making a pot roast in the crock pot for dinner. I am having my parents over for dinner this evening. You know it is a special occasion when I cook as I consider my stove an ornament.

    I was sad when my sister told me that my mom was referring to me as "that girl". She keeps talking about "that girls house" and "that girl" who came to Myrtle Beach and took her for rides on the golf cart . She has been more "off", mentally which I did expect. She seems to go down hill when she is outside her world. She was very confused about the gifts and the Christmas tree. My sister explained to her that it was Christmas. By the end of the day, I asked her how her Christmas day was and she said it was the most beautiful Christmas ever. I wish I could go inside her sweet mind for awhile and figure out what is happening. It saddened me most as she had never forgotten who I am until now. My sisters went to help mom last year when my dad had spine surgery. She would come out of her room EVERY morning and ask my sisters when they got there and how they got there.  She often refers to my Dad as "those great men who come in and cook and clean". She is so precious to me and I want to enjoy every moment I can with both Mom and Dad.  My Dad is in very good spirits but I know he will be sad to leave on Friday.

    Kathy, how is your Mom making out? I hope and pray that she is feeling good and taking her meds as she should. 

     I have to do my "sponge bath" and grab some lunch.  I have not been allowed to bathe or shower since last monday night, ickky me. I will have a quick shower when I get home from the doc assuming he gives me the okay to shower. Ahhhhh, I can almost feel the water going down my head now, nice and hot. I can't wait until I can have a hot tubby bath again, I love the feel of the jets of water against my skin. ahhhhhhh, hope it is soon. More so, I can't wait until I am fully healed and know I am out of the woods for infection/rejection.  Yippeee!!

    Oops, time has gone way too fast, gotta fly. To all, have a great Twos-dey, I am having two of de Scuby beers now. CheerZ!!  +clink clink clink+

    Lotsa Peace and Love to all me goils, see ya later!

    A hunter kills a deer and brings it home. He decides to clean it, prepare it, and serve the deer meat for dinner. He knows his kids are fussy eaters, and won't eat it if they know what it is, so he doesn't tell them.
    His little boy keeps asking him, "What's for dinner dad?"
    "You'll see", he replies.
    They start eating dinner and his daughter keeps asking him what they are eating.
    "Ok", says her dad, "Here's a hint. It's what your mother sometimes calls me."
    His daughter screams ... "Don't eat it, Jimmy! ... It's an effing asshole ..."

    A professor is teaching human sexuality to a college class.

    As he's lecturing on the physiology of the female orgasm, he asks the class, "Do you have any idea what your asshole is doing while you're having an orgasm?"

    A female voice from the back row says, "Probably deerhunting with his friends."

    Took the professor 20 minutes to get control of the class.

    And if y'all are looking for good Michigan beer, try to find anything (and everything) brewed by Shorts in Bellaire, Michigan. If you like hoppy IPA, their "Humalupalicious" is to die for!

    DorKie, I am now all teary-eyed reading about your mom. OMG that is what I worry about the most, is that my mom will forget who I am. Oh my heart really goes out to you, am hoping that when she is with you that she still does know who you are. Just a short-circuit in her mind, like you said, esp when she is out of her normal surroundings, and she can't get all the words/thoughts out correctly. I do hope she knows who you are when you are with her, and how much you both love each other. I had forgotten that they were there for Christmas! Shame on me!!! So glad they were able to come up. Hope it gave your dad a bit of a break, too. Will you give them a big hug from me too, before they go back home? My mom sounded good on the phone when I talked to her, but my dad says how much worse it is getting. She didn't even get him a card for Christmas, said she forgot. When she was here, I helped her buy some gifts for him for his birthday as well as for Christmas, but when she got home from shopping, she forgot and just gave them to him right then. I should have kept them, and returned them to her, with NOTES on them, telling her when to give them to him. I think his feelings were hurt that she forgot. But how can he expect any difference, when he KNOWS how much she is declining. I know they won't come back for a couple of months, so that does worry me. She liked the painting I did of our dogs so much, my dad printed it out for her. I think she "thinks" I am painting well, but its just that I am discovering shortcuts....lol. Could never ever get to be good, like she is!

    Well, haven't even had breakfast yet, and it is now noon. Gotta get my butt in gear!

    ChEARS!
