I love it when a plan comes together.

Wasn't that the stock line from the old TV show? That's how I'm feeling today. Not that any of my plans, per se, have actually come together, but things are definitely looking up.

First, Zone Labs worked quickly and got Zone Alarm fixed. No more crashes! No more MS Firewall! No more fighting to log on to the 'net! Life is good.

Second, the whole Graphical Standards debacle seems to be diminishing to an acceptable level. After I'm sure what must have been a tremendous e-mail campaign (although I can't say for certain it's because of it), it looks like the Board is slowly backstepping. My hope is that they suspend the Graphical Standards pending input from the organization members. The originating idea, as it's since been explained by one of the Board members speaking as a MIGS and not a Board member, was actually reasonable. But it seemed to have snowballed from there and spiraled way out of hand, angering a lot of people and hurting a lot of feelings. I know I'm feeling a lot better about this.

Third, I got a workout in this morning. That makes three for the week. Can I get a WOO HOO?

Fourth, the crit is DONE, man! (Said in my best "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" voice.) Banged that sucker out last night, got it uploaded, and I'm now ecstatic I'm able to cross something off the dreaded "To Do" list.

Sadly, that dratted "To Do" list grows quicker than I can do things, but at least I'm slowly making progress. Today, I'm hoping to tweak chapter two of BMO and get that sent off to my RD mentor, who probably thinks I've dropped off the face of the earth.

Off to tweak!

WOO HOO!

I worked out last nite. My legs feel it this morning...but after all 500 crunches, you'd think my bloody stomach would at least twinge. Sheesh!

Keep it up.. I'm working out too. Gotta look hot for RWA -- why, I have no idea. I just want to be presentable. :P

Jax, I've seen pictures of you. You're already hot.

Kat--I've had the same problem with crunches. Isn't it frustrating? I did find a Pilates ab workout on DVD that I always felt the next day.

Thanks for the WOO HOO!

Yay for getting the internet woes worked out!

YAY! Wahoo!

Thanks Suzanne and Dream. I'm still kinda riding my "Yay, I accomplished something" high.

I adore (!!!) Pilates. I've been trying to find a Stott video for ages now. Which one did you get?

"Pick Your Spot Pilates" from the Crunch Workout series. 3 targeted 10-minute workouts for belly, butt and thighs.

WOO HOO! I need to find something for the rear that doesn't include killing my knees. At least that's my excuse this week, lol.

Marty--Excuses are good. Excuses are very good. I'm a pro with excuses.
