I can't stand talking on the phone. I have a pre-paid cell phone, and a grand total of about 4 people have the number. I use it for emergencies and personal business. I do not chat on the phone. I just don't. So, if it rings, 9 times out of 10, I'm not expecting a call. So not only do I usually not answer, 99% of the times that it rings, I don't even look to see who it is. Drives my bf up a wall. He can't stand that I refuse to go running to the phone if it rings.

I also don't answer the door if I'm not expecting anyone. Usually, if somebody knocks and we're not expecting anyone, it's either a nosy neighbor or somebody selling something. And I don't care to get roped into a conversation with either. The bf also has a hard time extrapolating himself from salesman spiels. I think he understands the door thing now, but he still seems to think of a ringing phone as a summons.

My philosophy is - my phone is there for my convenience, not yours.

OMFG.

Never, have I read someone describe EXACTLY how I feel about both the phone, and people showing up at my house, unannounced.
I usually say, WTF do you fukcing WANT?, when I see my answering machine flashing.
And I too, won't answer the door, if I'm not expecting someone. I actually severed ties with a friend from high school, because he is the KING of pop ins. Not here, pal. He's gotten in touch with me on FB recently, but I'm not biting. Yeah, he's a nice guy, but if I let it start, and he finds out where I live, I'll be subjected to his constant pop ins.
Ann Landers said, years ago, 'in this day of emails, telephone, cell phones, telegraph, instant messaging, etc....there is no excuse for the pop in'.

I joined a gym this week and I'm really trying to get into a routine of going after work. So far I've gone 3x this week and I really hope to keep the momentum up. I'm excited that I'm doing something for myself!

Thanks! The gym is only a few mos old so it's all neat and sparkly and cheap! That of course was part of the motivation. I'm loving this new 20 buck a month gym concept!

What do you do at the gym? Cardio? Weights? I plan to do both, alternating and stuff. I just never know how much is enough or too much. I should probably spend the dough and meet with a trainer a few times.

i'm a cardio type of girl, but i'm soooooo not afraid of the weight room. lately i do the following:

monday - 1/2 elliptical and kickboxing class and abs class
tuesday - spin class and weights
wednesday - off
thursday - kickboxing and weights
friday - ass/abs class, cardio

the trainer at crunch cost 2600 a month! i don't have that kind of money right now!

Wow girl..you spend some Q time at Crunch! You are getting your money's worth. That's awesome that you are so dedicated. I'm starting slow...about an hour 4 or 5 times a week. So far i've been splittling about an hour with the elliptical and treadmill and tomorrow my plan is to do weights. This gym is weights and cardio only, so no classes, but i was never one for classes anyway. Although i did like yoga.

2600 a month is obscene. That's more than rent in nyc!

I use the machines...Theres this machine where you're knealing on this thing and you set the weights to whatever and you have to rotate...and I dont use sissy weights lol I've been using like 90lb weights...and I do each side 10 times...3 times each...So 30 on each side

Theres another machine where you practically do a crunch but its way harder then an actual crunch LOL and you can add weights...This ones harder so I use 20lbs

Then I use the thing where your dangling from it and you can lift your knees up

WICKED good youtube channel for work outs!!!
