[LOVE LIFE]

OK, I'm having butterflies. I have my interview today for the PT supervisor. I woke up all in a panic. And thinking I know this day abusive job and I got the what IF's. What if I just want out so badly and make a huge mistake and take something and then they or I don't like it. AWEEEEEEE PANIC ATTACKS. scared of the change. It's like leaving a man who is abusive but you don't leave because you know what you are in and to leave is to scary and the unknown part. ...

I can one day have a GREAT chance of Managing my OWN Total Woman gym in a beach area like Manhattan beach or Santa Barbara (they are opening 3 more right now and plan to be in those 2 areas in the next 7 years.
MY OPTIONS ARE OPEN SO BIG ON THIS, stepping into Marcelle.
I can create seminars for woman on Empowerment and the skies the limit.

THE CONS
SPLIT SHIFTS
SOME WEEKENDS
HAVE TO BUILD SALES FOR ENTIRE PT DEPT.

Marcelle, you forgot to add "interferes with my time to make Susan a Marcelle Original bag" to the cons list.

Seriously, find your Zen place. If it all falls into place then it is meant for you and if it doesn't, if it's too hard, then it isn't what you need right now. Out of all the cons the ONLY thing that would really bother me would be not having sick days and at where you are now you get yelled at and ordered to come in when you're sick, anyway, so what's the point of having them if it's a nightmare taking them? The rest you can plan around (plan your finances in advance around vacations and holidays you want to take, get a financial planner and open your own retirement account, etc.). I daresay MOST people in America work for companies with no profit sharing so IMO it's a fantastic bonus if you have it but not a tragedy if you don't.

[LOVE LIFE]

Susan, your the BOMB!! Yes advisor is on the To list anyway w/ Greg and I. It's funny we get sick/vacation days but you don't get paid. Go figure..lol YES why say you have sick days when you get slammed for taking them.
And yes yes yes there is a BAG that is going to be yours. I'm designing some now on paper. To get a pattern together. I have the simple ones that I have in my mind but I want ones that just are different and artsyfartsy yet elegant. Since I am not working w/ Leather just fabric but I have to start somewhere.

[BigBravesGirl]

Marcelle, listen to Susan. She's the voice of reason. Good luck!!

*Gets in line for Marcelle Original bag*

[WintersTale]

Drew - I thought your poem was VERY cute -- maybe cute isn't what you're going for - but I thought it was great - not to schmarmy (know what I mean?) but still heartfelt and it conveys that you're really starting to fall for him without bashing him over the head with it - I say GO FOR IT and give it to him!!!

And if he doesn't like that?
Bake him the homemade cake

Marcelle - GOOD LUCK!!! I know you'll do the right thing - but I understand being nervous about it. I felt that way when I left CBS for ABC....and it's almost NINE years ago now. Sometimes you just gotta JUMP! I'll email you about the SATC thing -- there's two shows on opening day that have the "party" attached -- and honestly? I can't tell at all from the website if drinks are included in the price -- if not, $60 is a LOT to spend on a movie! That said...I still wouldn't mind seeing it at the Arclight so we can pick our seats and everything!

Lisa -- I'm feeling lousy today - I think it's from flying so much, etc - but I've got a scratchy throat. Hoping to leave early today since I have to fly AGAIN!

A Singletons gathering would be great but probably not in the cards for me this year...

and yes...where IS our Mary??? That's VERY strange.

[BigBravesGirl]

Okay, y'all have a great weekend. See y'all on Monday!

[CanDo]

NO it CANNOT BE MAY 15!!!!

I am so sorry to have fallen off the earth since my home was invaded on May 1st with 18-yo aliens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reading all the posts I am never gonna remember everything...but

LISA HOPE YOUR SNIFFLES ARE GONE!!!

DREW...tomorrow I am gonna FIND that poem Bridget mentioned....I need to read it! Did you give it to him or bake a cake? so HOW IS IT GOING?

Marcelle...you will do FINE in the new job it is MADE FOR YOU GIRL!

As Susan said...find your ZEN place and FIND..."time to make Susan a Marcelle Original bag"

ROFL SUSAN Yes, another "perfect bag" !

ME TOO BTW....something BLUE to go with my new USED car!!!! .....my new baby????

I got a mid-life crisis convertible....1999 4-cyl Mercedes SLK-230 with 55K miles. I now LOVE my commute! Top down, baseball cap ON!!! (you know Lisa, I just may need one of those!!!! ROFL!)

NO MORE CLUNKERS FOR THE KIDS - THIS ONE IS FOR MOM!!!!

Let's see...where did I leave off...

Bridget, trip to NYC sounds like you had fun fun!!!! When is the next trip HERE so I can tool you downtown to Capital Grille or Old Ebbit's in STYLE?????

OK, gotta go commute!!!!

Have a terrific evening!
Mary

[Susana]

Wow, we are getting torrential rains today. I was at Costco and had to load my car in it and was COMPLETELY drenched. Only the front of my hair/face/upper body wasn't totally soaked.

LOVE ME SOME COSTCO, by the way! Today was my first visit, ours is brand new. Their pre-packaged food section rocks! I got a pack of spinach and artichoke chicken burgers with four cheeses. Had one for lunch and it was the bomb. They carry Conundrum but it is cheaper at World Market. Their book selection is fantastic (SOOO much better than Sam's) and most books, hardback and soft cover, were about 50% off retail. I got two. Oh, and one of them is something about being a Jane Austen Addict, ROFL! Some girl goes back in time and wakes up as someone else in Jane Austin's era, sounds cheesy but it's short and will be a cute plane read next week. Also got Baba Wawa's memoir.

Marcelle, so how did it go? I can't BELIEVE you didn't come straight in here and give us the scoop.

Mary, LOVE THE CAR! You are stylin', girl. SERIOUSLY stylin'! You so deserve that and it seems made for you. I know you will love the heck out of it. I my car every time I get in it, I mean EVERY time, and that's when you know you made the right decision.

Bridget, tell me about wine points. They list them on the wines at Costco. I picked up one for the trip next week (we always "set up bar" in somebody's room...you are very surprised by that, I know ) because it was relatively cheap (about $12) and said it rated 88 points. Is that decent? The description sounded like something most people would tolerate pretty well (not dry, lots of fruits).

I was very disappointed to not find even a hint of any Two Buck Chuck.

Lisa, have a great time tonight!

[CanDo]

Two Buck Chuck?????

Susan, enjoy your books, I'm on my way to the used book store NOW...so off for the week next week, everyone HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!

Hi everyone!

Jeff Dunham was completely hilarious. I ached on Saturday from laughing so much Friday night. We had a fan.tastic. time! I so needed that!! Tim did too! Chris and Judith were so much fun, too. And Judith and I had fun being "Fashion Police". Some people seriously should get new mirrors!

Sorry this is quick. Playing catch up at work. I'll be back later, though!

[LOVE LIFE]

Hello hello,

Susan, The interview went FABULOUS. I would have but the stress has gotten so bad here at HELL's Place. That I have just been so out of it and praying for the best outcome and if it's meant to be I will have that new Joyful job. AWE just the thought feels so right. I find out this week. So excited but want this job only if it's for me and not because I want to leave this place. I found out that there is insurance with this job title. YIPPY. Hope the weather calmed down a bit for you. OMG I can see you all soaken wet. I know how you feel about wet hair. YIKES. Don't you just LOVE COSTCO. oh it's so much fun to go to. I just love shopping there. Yes World Market has some GREAT wines. OH OH my boss Gina at the gym told me about a GREAT buttery type of Chard. I forgot the name and I bought it but didn't even want a glass of wine this weekend TOO TIRED. LOL yeap to tired for a glass of wine. LOL that's tired. OH OH WORLD MARKET I GOT A GREAT CABERNET NOW IF I COULD REMEMBER THE NAME IT STARTED WITH A M. THAT'S HELPFUL ..LOL THEY HAD A CHARD AS WELL. 2.99 I WAS SHOCKED ON THE TASTE. I got it to cook with and had some glasses of it. Last week

Bridget, You feeling better with all that flying no wonder why you don't feel GOOD. Hope you got to rest a bit this weekend. We have been so busy that we just relaxed. OH OH OH we should of jumped on the arclight tix I think there sold out for the SATC, party. I will check today as well. OH SINGLETON GATHERING SOUNDS WONDERFUL. The idea of renting a small place in Newport or Balboa Island sounds wonderful right now.

Lisa,
Hope your feeling better. OH it sounds like a wonderful night out LAUGHING it's soooooooooo healing. Fashion Police. I can only imagine Bridget and I are GREAT FASHION POLICE TOO. !!!

Drew, I thought the poem was so sweet and too the point of your heart and feelings. GOOD JOB!!

Mary, YOU ROCK IN THE CAR!! MATCHES YOUR EYES. I am so excited for you. How's your lovely friends, Teri and OMG total blank out, Beautiful Dark hair gal that came over to your house and I did a reading on. ?? darn brain cells maybe a convert. Merc for me will jog the memories. LOL. Please say hello for me. I don't have their emails anymore. Can you send them to me. My IT guy did some updates or something and I lost email addresses.

I can't wait for this weekend to see the 2 Red Sox games and wonderful dinner in San Fran. Hopefully celebrating a new job. Oh then Bridget and I see SATC that following friday, Then Sat. June 7th Total Woman gym has this Total Woman University seminar. We are opening 3 more clubs so they are having this seminar on all the new changes with the new owners and they are paying for all of us to attend and taking us ALL OUT TO DINNER and drinks that night and hotel and brunch the next day. I know I have stepped into exactly what I'm suppose to be doing. Also I have to prepare myself in case I don't get it. But there are other opportunities at TW. That's also being discussed on our weekend.

HOPE EVERYONE HAD A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND. i can see Mary now jetting all over hair blowing in the wind. I am so happy Mary for your choice to buy something that is YOURS and makes you feel GREAT oh and I BET YOU LOOK SO HOT DRIVING IN THAT CAR.

[WintersTale]

Okay - STILL have a bit of an upper respiratory "thing" going on but it's probably from going in and out of 109 degree heat and 40 below air conditioning in Vegas.

We had a FANTASTIC time - VERY mellow - just hanging out at the pool and going to dinner once - we cooked in two nights, made our own sandwiches for the pool, etc - it was great having a beautiful condo instead of a hotel - just a GORGEOUS place, too - VERY luxurious.

Now for the funny story...
My friend, Jeri, went to Vegas this same weekend for a birthday celebration with her friend, Ellen. They went out to the clubs on Friday night and Saturday morning, they came over to visit with us and sit by our pool for the day. Jeri is all excited because she's met a SURGEON while she was out clubbing and he seems really nice and really into her. He has a twin brother who is ALSO a surgeon.

You know where I'm going with this, right?

We all get because there is NO WAY we believe that this guy is actually a TWIN SURGEON. NO WAY. It's just TOO PERFECT a Vegas story to be true, right?



http://abcnews.go.com/WN/PersonOfWeek/story?id=4263270

Vance Moss is the one that Jeri hung out with - BOY, were WE ever surprised!!
What a nice guy!! Of course...she did NOT behave herself when she met up with him again Saturday night - she called me Sunday morning to tell me she was doing "the walk of shame" back to her hotel. I wanted to smack her -- she was definitely NOT the "woman by the well" but I know that they've spoken since she got home. I just HAD to share this story because it just SUCH a riot that we were all laughing at her Saturday morning....and this is who the guy turns out to be!!!

[LOVE LIFE]

OK BRIDGET CAN I JUST SAY BBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW HOLY CRUMP. THAT IS WAY WAY WAY TO FUNNY.

[WintersTale]

I know, Marcelle!! Dianne, Ellen and I were all just teasing the crud out of Jeri on Saturday because we thought she was being so gullible.

And then we went into the condo and logged on to Chuck's computer and googled the guy.



But we sure had fun with her before that . She called for a cab at one point because they were getting ready to go back over to Mandalay Bay to get ready to go out with us that night and she said "God, where IS that taxi?? I called fifteen minutes ago! You'd think in Vegas they'd come right away!"

And I said "oh don't worry, Jeri, I'm sure the cabbie just had to stop really quick and perform an emergency appendectomy at the hospital on his way!"

[BigBravesGirl]

Hi girls!

My friend, Juanita, thinks her husband is cheating on her. They've been married for about 2 years. He's one you'd never expect. I hope she's wrong, but she's usually spot on with her intuition.

I don't know any of the details, but she wants me to help her find one of those keystroke programs to log his computer usage. Any ideas?

[LOVE LIFE]

Lisa, well has she confronted him? and why does she suspect that he's cheating in the first place? First gather info. The worst feeling is that GUT wrenching knot in the stomach of just the thought of him cheating is horrible. And the normal actions of the female is to not confront and then be passive/aggressive and if he's not cheating can damage the marriage just the same with odd behavior. I don't know anything about that computer thing. I'M SURE DREW DOES. LOL our Singletons computer expert. What about his cell phone ? check the incoming calls. From my own experience this could be telling but also very brutal for her if she finds anything on her own. Honestly just confront him or call the show "CHEATERS" LOL.....
Oh I pray that he isn't but again what makes her think that he is???? hugs and prayers for her.

Bridget, LOL I think it's funny that you just googled him as well. Woman PI's at work now go find out if Juanita's husband is cheating...LOL

[BigBravesGirl]

Marcelle, She only had a couple minutes to talk to me this morning. I don't know any of the details. I'm going to try to call her tonight. It's just really sad. They seemed so happy.

[LOVE LIFE]

Lisa, JUST PRAY PRAY PRAY THAT IT'S NOT TRUE AND THAT THE LIGHT WILL COME OUT. OR THE TRUTH AND ALLOW THE HEALING TO BEGIN FOR HER. IT IS REALLY SAD TO THINK SHE'S JUST CONSUMED WITH THOSE SORT OF THOUGHTS. I FEEL FOR HER. GROUP PRAYERS.

[WintersTale]

Hmmm...don't know anything about researching keystroke history -- I hope she's wrong about him - that would be devastating.

[BigBravesGirl]

My friend Juanita is an idiot! Her birthday is May 31. She'll be 40. Can you guess what the hubster has been up to? A surprise party!!

Bless her heart. I'm just glad she found out. I didn't think he was "that kind". Whew!

[LOVE LIFE]

LISA, I TOLD YOU!!! WOMAN ARE SOOOOOOO FUNNY!! SURPISE..LOL NOW THAT IS A STORY TO TELL THEIR KIDS WHEN THEIR OLDER... LOL THAT'S THE BEST I'VE HEARD IN A LONG TIME. THAT JUST MADE MY MORNING!! THANKS JUANITA.... DID YOU TELL HER YOU TOLD ALL YOUR LCF FRIENDS. BAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[BigBravesGirl]

Is Susan on her trip this week?

Mary's on vacation.

Where's everyone else??
