dyk, thanks everyone - I gave her the card literally 30 seconds before she walked out the door...I didn't want her to read it while I was around her. Just in case....
dyk, I was tearing up at CVS this morning when I was picking out a card, then again when I was writing it, and then as she was leaving - but I never actually cried.
dyk, I worked with her for 4 years and as crazy as she made me sometimes (and as mad as I've been at her lately - hindsight is 20/20), I'm genuinely sad to see her leave.
Past Races:
-Boston Run to Remember Half Marathon, 5/29/11 (2:35:11, no training!)
-Corporate Run, 3.5 miles 6/2/11 (36:38, 4 days after running the half!)
-BAA 10k, 6/26/11 (1:04:52, wanted to be under an hour...)
-Tavern to Tavern
dyk, true - she can't actively recruit me, but bringing up the subject, well...not a good idea
dyk, the story she's told everyone is that she's leaving to spend more time with her family
dyk, most people are able to figure out that she's not just staying home that she has another job. And most people suspect where she's going and are dead wrong - I know EXACTLY where she is going, who recruited her, and how long she's had the opportunity & what drove her to accept it.
dyk, I'm not supposed to know and she doesn't know that I know...but when she walks in to that office the week after next (yes, I know her start date), she's going to be seriously surprised. And will know that I know.
dyk, I could never go even if all of the secrecy wasn't an issue - the person in charge over there is the old manager from my group. The one that would have screaming matches with me.

dyk, I'm not sure what drove me to look at the ingredient list for the Fiber One Honey Clusters but I looked at it yesterday, probably to see where inulin was on the list, but I noticed another item
dyk, High fructose corn syrup
dyk, not sure if its like bread and a regonial thing, but I figured I'd mention it...

DYK I'm sure Sadie in the bathroom sink would make an adorable picture!
DYK This puppy I picked up this afternoon is so adorable?
DYK The lady that has kept her for the last 3 months says that her sister saw her chained up outside in terrible shape...with mange?
DYK You would never know that now?
DYK She's beautiful and very smart?
DYK She loves frisbee and she's great with kids?
DYK Maegan was already home when I got home with her and 2 of the younger boys from down the street were here too, waiting for Sunni?
DYK Sunni loved running, jumping and wrestling with them?
DYK The GSD and part-GSD next door don't appear to like her tho?
DYK We've been having to be careful to keep Bubba away from her? He just walks right out of the invisible fence whenever he wants to? He's already been right up against the fence, growling with all his back hair up while Chloe (the other GSD) is barking her fool head off?
DYK I'm glad we're not keeping Sunni more than 1 night since we're having to play musical dogs and keep away?
DYK regarding your knees...mine aren't the best, either.
DYK when I received physical therapy, the PT told me over and over again that the best thing for bad knees is to strengthen your quads; basically, the muscles surrounding and supporting that area.
DYK when I did the personal training, she had me do a lot of work on my quads. Amazingly, my knees are so much better now! Yes, it hurt when I did it, but it gradually got better.
DYK and believe it or not, since I have started the kickboxing class with the weighted bags, my hip is now so much better, too."
DYK That's good to know, Joy!
DYK What kind of things did you do to strengthen your quads?
DYK Was it like squats and lunges?
DYK I can do them, I just don't go down quite as far as I would like to?
"dyk, I worked with her for 4 years and as crazy as she made me sometimes (and as mad as I've been at her lately - hindsight is 20/20), I'm genuinely sad to see her leave."
DYK I'm sorry, Elizabeth...I've thought about you several times today, hoping you were holding up ok?

DYK It's never easy?
DYK You can bet I would take her myself if I didn't already have 3 dogs?
DYK She's great and has been so good so far...not a peep out her?
DYK Haven't even heard her bark yet?
DYK It does help to know that she's going to a lab rescue where she will be fostered until they find a permanent home for her?
DYK And it won't be long...she's going to make someone a really great companion?
DYK I'm trying to get some pictures of her...so far, she moves too fast?
DYK I have a pretty good one of her with her paws up on Maegan's chest?
DYK Will definitely try to post a few in the next few days?

"DYK the baby's movements are changing- more pushing and rolling than kicking and punching?
DYK I am pretty sure I felt little fingers pressing against my side today- five very distinct points of pressure...really crazy!
DYK for the first time I was woken up by the baby at 3am because she was being so active? Better get used to it now huh?"
DYK That's so sweet, D!
DYK Enjoy this time...believe me, you'll miss it once Lolo Bean is born?

DYK So scary.
DYK I'm praying for the best for Patrick and for his parents and other caregivers?
DYK I can understand completely that when it's your child, you do what you must?
