Inbox Inundation

Who would have thought checking one's email could inspire so much drama? Well, that's exactly what happened today when I innocently logged into my yahoo account and saw there were 26 (!) new messages in my inbox!

This is a big deal for me -- the bit of spam I get all goes to the "Spam Folder" so I was curious to see who was contacting me and what all the fuss was about.

Seconds later I was enveloped in a whirlwind of Jenna and Susi. Hahahahahahahaha!! :)

All I can say, is that's the most fun I've ever had checking email before. Heh-heh-heh!!

I had a good bike ride this morning and watched Ironman World Championships 2006 and 2007 AGAIN FOR THE ZILLIONTH TIME. I think I just about have all the words memorized....

"It's 11 o'clock and this man isn't sure about a lot of things right now..."

I need to get more viewing material but am too cheap to send a $30 US money order to get a new dvd. I've been scrounging around the choppy seas of the internet with my eye-patch and my trusty parrot on my shoulder searching for a torrent to download. I tell you, it was a sad day when Robert Downey Junior and Ironman came out -- You have no idea how hard it is to search for "Ironman triathlon" when all that keeps coming up is the movie Ironman.

And so, I will resort to watching (and inadvertently memorizing) my old vids!! Hahahahahaha!!!

Onto swimming news...

My shoulders are always in pain now. Is it weird that I love it? Hahahahaha!! I never knew my arms had so many little muscles in them. I'm completely in love with my paddles too. I even invented a new flip turn to facilitate swimming with them. Well ---- I haven't patented it or anything... LOL!!

Here's what you do -- when you come to the wall you tumble, but then you put your hands together like you are praying. Any other way and you will either snap your arm off, or go shooting off in another lane. :) :) :)

Yoga is on my plate for later today, and then it is meatloaf for dinner. ;)

You mean you DON'T look at email daily? (keels over in astonishment!)

You can use Google advanced search to help get rid of the Ironman movie crap. Tried to watch it on the plane. TSHM.

You can get a ton of movies through Netflix delivered to your door. Maybe even IM or tri related movies.

Which of your fancy meals are you serving to Meatloaf? He's a big guy, hope you made lots.

Jenna said...

Keith - when i first read your reply i thought you though her boyfriend was called meatloaf - but now I am just confused....LMAO

Keith said...

You young'uns. Meatloaf to me is the singer that does 'Bat out of Hell'. That's what I first twigged on, since it's been a long time since I've actually a slice of that food. Then I realized she was actually talking about the food. Sorry for the confusion. Movealongmovealong, nothing to see here....

Let me guess. Boston is just a large city on the East US coast, right? Check it out -- http://www.beloit.edu/mindset/2002.php

Jenna said...

Oh i know the song about the dashboard light baby..... but when you read your post I though you were caled her man Meatloaf....lmao

Keith said...

It was only after Jenna's second comment that I realized what she was referring to, thinking that it was what Julie was referring to. I was NEVER so shocked in my entire life. On the table! Jenna, what IS the world coming to?

This has thoroughly cheered up a long afternoon.

Susi said...

it's amazing the conversations that go on in the comment sections... haha.

julie, bless you for not reporting what all the email traffic was about!!

i can totally relate to loving the pain from workouts - keith and i were discussing that today in fact!

Julie said...

Oh Keith-- The funny thing is, is that I thought you were calling Mike, Meatloaf, and Mike IS a big guy, so we both had a good chuckle over it!! LOL!!!!!

And Susi -- ;)

Another lesson in how text doesn't sometimes say what you think it says, depending on what you're thinking about.

And failing to make allowances for the thought processes of a girl that owns a vibrating eye massager.

Amy said...

I'm too cheap to even buy one Ironman DVD. Love the e-mail "drama" story!!!! And your new flip turn!
