crappy day

Filed under: General — beverly at 10:38 pm on Tuesday, June 7, 2005

Man, what a day. Our friends have gotten into a wonky “business” opportunity that is totally infecting our friendship and circle of good friends like a bad, bad virus. Lots of internet research today, and lots of affirming discussion with hubby later. Why do smart people get caught up in stupid things??

Good news: got in 4.5 k with Tara today. A couple of years ago, I’d have dealt with this stress by eating a large bag of dill pickle chips. This is good progress, I figure.

I would also say that’s progress. I used to come home (if I could wait that long) and fill up on cakes, cookies, chocolate, chips, beer or all of the above to deal with a hard day. Now I just run faster or longer!

Well, thank you very much for mentioning dill pickle chips. It will take me DAYS to get that thought (and memory of the taste) out of my head. And I have to go grocery shopping tonight!

ugh. I’ve known a few people who’ve gotten into some mlm stuff, and it’s always been “adios muchachos” shortly after that. But nothing compares to this couple who got involved in some “est”-type cult that they kept trying to push on us. uh…BYE!!

And beating the stress with a nice runwell, that can’t be beat!
