That's an awesome idea Kathryn! I wish I had access to a pool! There's got to be a way! I'll find it!

Amy, here's what I came up with: powerwalking, overhead squats with no weight only a broomstick (try at least 50-100 reps), freehand squats (try at least 50-100 reps), hindu squats (try at least 100 reps), walking or regular lunges (be careful if you suffer from patellar tendonitis) and pistols (one-legged squats). Front squats with only a broomstick are OK (depending on your knees), as are Zercher squats. Squats are virtually no impact if done smoothly, no bouncing. Hang cleans, high pulls and power cleans are also OK if you don't leave the ground at the top of the pull. That's all that I can think of.

Here, now this game I would eagerly sign up for.

Mmmmm...

WARNING: extremely sexy!

Enjoy.

Wow. Animation sure has come a long way since Bugs and Wile E Coyote.

I am going to stab someone in the face!

I'm thinking anger management course. Do they have an EAP program at your place of employment, Delicia? lol

Playing tennis with video game consoles? I like, I like.

Pong anyone?

While Bee was steadily toiling away at work tonight, my in-laws decided to invite over for dinner their best friend's daughter who'd recently been in England for the past six months. Severely awkward and stressful for me, considering that she used to date Bee, and is considered with the in-laws to be the daughter that they never got to have.

Wow. Definitely a lapse in judgement there..... by all 3 parties. ((((hugs Nini))))

So, I booked my tickets home online through American. Two of the three flights are on United, operated by Air Canada.

Are you sure that wasn't a USCIS number you called?

If I had super powers I would invisibilize the tax threads. Every time I see one I break out into a cold sweat.

Sister, if I had those powers I would invisibilize some members

Hey Mumsie! Thanks for the suggestions. I wish that I could do squats. They would be perfect right now. The problem is that my knee is killing me whenever i go into a deep knee bend like that. Sitting down is really hurting, as is going up and down stairs. I've had to take one stair two feet at a time! How silly huh? ~giggles~

How about using a brace on your knee or wrapping it to add some support while you exercise? Another possibility - and get yourself some knee and arm pads! - is to try rollerskating - not roller blading but roller skating if you have a rink near by. It is excellent exercise for a wide variety of muscle groups yet because of the glide doesn't stress your knees unduly - unless, of course, you fall! That is why you need the knee pads! (A pillow on the rear end wouldn't hurt, either!).

I could have used one the time I tried to stop myself in the roller rink bathroom and ended up in the corner underneath the sink.

I'm going to try wrapping it, thanks Kathryn. I had thought of that. I'm just trying not to do myself any more major injury. I hurt my shoulder awhile ago and I just kept going thinking it would get better, but it's worse now! Oh well, you live and learn right! I've never been rollerskating before but it sure sounds like a lot of fun! Especially with a pillow stuck to my butt!

I f-ing hate my teeth.

I have been waiting for a root canal since November. Needed an endodontist, and took 4 months to see someone. A few weeks before my root canal, I get a call saying that the doctor fell and broke her wrist, root canal would have to be rescheduled for end of April. Ok fine. . . .

So yesterday was supposed to be my root canal. And wouldn't you know it - 1/4 of that tooth busts off. Call the endodontist office. They say she's still out of commission and cannot look at my tooth whether the root canal is still viable. Need to see my dentist and see if he can fix it and then call them back and let them know what he thinks.

So back to the dentist on Monday. Food is getting all stuck in the new hole in my tooth. My breath was AWEFUL yesteday, since the infected tooth could finally vent some of the pus out of it.

I am actually hoping that the tooth can't be fixed and it gets pulled. Just seems so much easier at this point.

Oh, good God! Kinda makes my dentist-appointment-that-the-office-scheduled-three-months-ago-then-called-to-cancel-the-week-before-the-appointment-saying-they-have-no-idea-why-they-did-that-because-the-dentist-doesn't-even-work-on-Fridays pale in comparison. Hope you get fixed soon, Cat.

that's pretty freaking bad too! I'd actually be more pissed about that one, since you can't prevent a fall and broken wrist. You can prevent a wrong booking on Fridays . . . since I mean you'd remember if you NEVER work Fridays. That must be a person on the hiring list for USCIS . . . comfortable making mistakes and aggravating people.
