I was going to try it, but I wasn't sure if they cleaned well. Soyou like them. If it's got a T endorsement I will try them

We have the Cub SCouts every week too. I think it's too many meetings, but we shall see how it goes! We go tomorrow to the Scout store to get Jimmy's shirt and everything. He is so excited!

I heard it was funny. I missed it. Want to try to catch it next week!

======================

Just waiting for the boys to get home. CE's Poppy CHicken is in the oven. Will do homework with Jimmy, then have dinner. Should have a fairly early night tonight!

We need to redo both of our bathrooms too. With wallpaper in both, it's a happy thought.

Hi Michelle! I think the plan is to check it out tomorrow. I saw Jordan's there today.

How nice to be able to walk to the store.

I use it too, but with all the differing information about "green"" products, who knows if it is really? Hopefully it is though.

Back in the day when I was in Brownies, we had it right after school. Maybe with more working parents, that's not an option now.

Hip hop classes sound right up Maddie's ally.

Tonight Mitch's school, Ole Miss, is playing South Carolina so say a big Hotty Toddy!

Oh crap! I tried to watch Modern Family, but it was sooo lame, I switched channels and fell asleep watching "Fight Club". I heart Edward Norton!

I was skeptical, 'cause I'm a Lysol/Clorox fan to the end, but I'm surprisingly quite satisfied. I love the no-streak finish.

Aww, that's cute! Be sure to post pics!

Ugh! Me too! Our downstairs is a half bath and needs the works. Upstairs we have one 3/4 that was done in '04 and the full bath needs a little pick-me-up, KWIM?

WTH does "green" mean anyway?

I think I ate a tape worm. I'm so darn hungry today, I seriously need to lay off today!

She and Jimmy will get along great then. Jimmy has two music classes a week at school. THe child can't carry a tune in a bucket!

I'm the same way T. Between the steroids and being stuck home all the time I have been eating WAY too much junk!

----------------------

Dinner is done. Jimmy gave me a hrd time trying the chiken, but once he did he liked it...go figure I wans't I trying to poison him


Not much planned tonight, which is good. We had 2 late nights so Jimmy could use the break..and so could I I will probably watch Project Runway. Are you watching this season V?

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Found the new thread!

Well the inevitable has happened, I have caught the traditional back to school cold. Half the class was sniffling along with me today. This happened despite my making liberal use of all the antibacterial hand sanitizer pumps placed all over the school.

I'm "looking forward" to a busy weekend. This weekend is the weekend the students settled on for the annual street party/riot despite the fact that the school canceled Homecoming BECAUSE of this illegal party. According to the NATIONAL newspaper, that's right, it has gotten so bad that this is now national news, we are going to have dozens of mounted police and hundreds of police/riot squad members on hand to try and deal with the crowd. Work should be fun.

The Sun is trash, here is an article from The Globe and Mail, the national newspaper. I won't provide the local news articles as they are all completely biased against Queen's. This is a bit as well but it doesn't have the full hate on for Queen's like the local paper does.

I bought their dish soap last time. It's doing fine. I really love the Method brand, but it's not as easy to find outside of Target, and sometimes I just need to pick stuff up at the grocery store, you know?

I heard such good things, but we caught up on Glee episodes, instead. Dr. Belle put it as "Imagine if the network that does The Simpsons got a hold of HSM." And that about covers it. I don't think I LOVE it the way she does, but I'm finding it pretty darn funny.

I did get rid of the wallpaper in this one years ago - I painted, but we're talking new bathtub, tile surround, vanity, drywall...

That was me, yesterday. I just was HUNGRY.

Pshew! We did pizza casserole tonight - it's another kid pleaser. I think I sent it to you?

It ran through our house over the last couple of weeks, too. Feel better soon!

Work should be fun.

Hoo, boy. Good luck!

TE - Jump the Shark from Wikipedia
Jumping the shark is a colloquialism coined by Jon Hein and used by TV critics and fans to denote the point in a television program's history where the plot veers off into absurd story lines or out-of-the-ordinary characterizations. This usually corresponds to the point where a show with falling ratings apparently becomes more desperate to draw in viewers. In the process of undergoing these changes, the TV or movie series loses its original appeal. Shows that have "jumped the shark" are typically deemed to have passed their peak.

I didnt notice that it was from wikipedia. I was surprised how much in depth info you knew on the subject. lol

I use greenworks too. I got a large bottle at costco. I always hated using chemicals because marc is allergic to bleach, and i just think its kind of nasty to leave it.

My shows for the season: Glee, house, 90210 (my guilty pleasure), lost, trying out fringe.

tonight im going back to davis to meet with some friends from work. Theyve decided that thursday is binge night. Since everyone is usually on healthy diets, or poor, thursday will be the day eveyone just eats whatever they want and apparently a lot of it. I have a free sandwich from the grocery store coming to me, so thats probably what ill be having.
