I might borrow my daughter's pirate wench costume and add a fluffy blouse to it. I have a fairy costume 
but the wings are too wide to make it down the office halls, and I might poke someone's eye out... Monday I did a gazillion sqats and lunges without weights. I didn't count but I did as many as I could do in a 2 minute time frame, rested for a few minutes then did more of the same, over and over again. I also did about a half an hour of stretches. I wasn't super sore but I was definitely feeling tight. Tuesday I had a battle with my allergies. It must be the dry weather we've had lately, because there's very little moisture to hold the dust down. I had puffy, itchy eyes all day, plus sneezing and wheezing. They had some sample allergy eye drops at work, which did offer some relief, but the allergy thing really wore me out, so no workout. Today I have a date with my Bowflex for UBW, which will happen this evening, after I knock out my "to do" list...
I'm still pondering the RNR half marathon in AZ in January 2007. DH and I have decided to do a 5K in a couple of weeks that offers brunch afterwards. We're not going to beat any of our times... We're going for the brunch!
I had a splurge today... I went to Costco and picked up a Kitchenaid stand mixer in red, finally. I've wanted one for a long time. A woman waiting in line at the check out asked me if I would actually use it... Huh? I felt like saying "No, I've just spent over a couple of hundred bucks on a mixer that's going to take up valueable counter space in my kitchen, and to irritate the hell out of my husband!" Actually, I just said "Yes, I have plans to use it." I'm too frickin' nice. If I were to spend over a couple of hundred bucks on something to look at, I'd buy jewelry or a new watch... ANY WAY... It's extremely fabulous and I have major plans to use it over the next couple of months. I really do use all of my cooking gadgets and appliances. I can't even count how many blenders we've been through... Peace

LOL at the crazy woman at Costco.
Very cool purchase. I've always wanted one of those.
Squats and lunges--you inspire me.
Enjoy your new mixer. I have one that was my husband's from the 70s. It's Harvest Gold! But it still works well and we've made lots of bread with it over the years.
i'm too nice when it comes to folks like that too. i always think of some witty comeback... AFTERWARDS.
I know that sounds like a crazy question, but for some people the true answer might be "no." For instance, my sister has always coveted that mixer, and the girl seriously hardly ever cooks. And she certainly does not make things that require a mixer. I think she just likes the way it looks.
Katie,
The comment reminded me of Bill Engvall's "Here's Your Sign" skit... I supposed it could have been a gift... afterall, she didn't know what/who I was buying it for.
Dori,
I hadn't run since the half marathon in SJ, so I had to do something... I'm so tempted to use the mixer this weekend, just to see how it works, even though I'd probably make something out of a box... I was planning on using it new in the "new" old house. :)
NSM,
Teehee... I always think of comebacks after the fact!
Rachel,
My husband has clients who have things just for show, like the entire gourmet kitchen, but they NEVER use it or don't know how to, kind of like some of those celebrities featured on MTV Cribs. It is a cool looking appliance, though. I like to use my stuff though, and with the holiday's upon us, I will be using that mixer a lot! :)
i've been lusting after the pink kitchen aid stand mixer and someone asked me if i would use it. my first thought was the same as yours... but actually responded in the exactly same way you did... with a plain, yes, i have plans to use it.
barbie2be,
I've already took the mixer for a spin... It's great!!! I can't wait for the holidays!
