Oh, he emailed me a couple of times in August and I was sure he was applying, pity he didn't as I know there is a gay Disney mad guy in the telephone finals and it could have been him!

An angry gay guy........or a crazy gay guy?? .......

Crazy about Disney guy and I'm not sure but last year we believe it was 32 for 16 panellists, so as there are 10 spots we're guessing 20 finallists, we know 16 of them

Ah! Never quite sure how you mean mad! I only use it for "angry" !

How do you know them?

You'll get them next time. I can't believe they would argue like that on the course though.

I'm so sorry Dawn. Your right you are much better off with out all that drama in your life. Good luck to K with dealing with her.

Especially when they let you know last minute like they did to me. I just took the day off for today but I'm hoping to get to class tomorrow since it's only a morning class.

I'm really trying to focus my Brownies on Community Service this month and next, so we'll tour a food bank and collect donations for them. They'll also help out at a community Thanksgiving meal for needy families.

I just feel the need to make a difference this year, KWIM?


Hope everyone enjoys their Thursday!

I'm pretty much done with Lindsey and DR for Christmas shopping. The only thing I need to get Linds is a DS and a few games and some DVD's for DR and then I'm done.

That's really great about the Browine troop.

DR and I went to Target this afternoon. I got some of the things on Lindsey's Christmas list and only have 1 more thing to go for her.

I also bought a bunch of stuff I don't need.

After we got home my dad and I went and picked Linds up from school and then headed to Lowe's and picked a paint color for the kithchen. It's currently a peachy/pink color and I've always hated it so we are changing it to a charcoaly blue. We're also putting a tile backsplash in and picked out tiles for that. The last thing would be to replace the cracked tiles on the floor but that might have to wait until spring.

We had dinner out and celebrated Lindsey's good grades and good parent/teacher conference.

I'm hoping to get to class tomorrow since it's in the morning and my dad will be home painting so DR will be able to stay with him. If not I have to go over to Walmart for a few things and then maybe head out to the mall for a few things as well.

So I talked with my ex regarding the hotel he will be staying at with the kids and where it was at in Pittsburgh. I went online to look it up and check it out. OMG! All I have to say to him and his girlfriend is good luck and have fun with the kids in that little teeny tiny room for 5 days and 5 nights.

I'm about to put the kids to bed and then watch my Thursday night shows...CSI and The Mentalist. Real Housewives of OC starts tonight along with the reunion of Atlanta. My DVR will be working over time tonight.

We got everything but the "pretty table displays" which do have to come down every night, we think. So, that's good. The bad news is her kid finally spiked a high fever, so she's probably not coming tomorrow. But, we got so much done that I think I'm OK with that.

No offense, but I think I hate you. JK, of course, but I haven't even begun to think of anything yet.

That sounds nice! Pictures when you're done?

Mine, too. And since Comcast didn't replace the baseball on the schedule, I can't record Bones, as it doesn't show up in the guide. I have had it paused for 35 minutes now, waiting for D to be ready to watch it, because we can't record it. Sigh. Because the baseball was going to overlap CSI and The Office, I can't even do it manually - it just freaks out.

Tonight I regret that we've more or less given up booze on weeknights. It's not been a bad thing, but I could use a glass of wine, and we don't have any. I guess I could have a beer, but it doesn't sound appealing.

No, it's only nasty if you put on some hip hop music.

Meh... beer is for the summer... wine is perfect for the fall/winter.

No, it sounds funny. Poor David, though.

(I'm missing a lot of quotes today - I think I'm leaving my quote screen up too long, then when I finally post, I don't go back up and 5 people had posted!)

I was out to donate toys and books last year and couldn't find one, either. What's up with that?

There you go... I'm doing OK with tea. Sigh.

I can't believe I'm almost done either. I started really early this year but I had the $$$ now rather than later on in this month and into next when it's all budgeted for other things.

Will do. I made an album on FB and have our computer room up there. It started off as the kids toy room but slowly progressed to a junk room. I have the before and after up there. I should put up our family room as well but we're wanting to get a new couch and some new furniture in there so maybe once that is done I'll get some new pics of of there.

Oh man...that stinks! I had to rearrange my recorded shows around since my dad is watching TV on the big screen where the DVR is.

Yeah, it's too bad. He's in Woody's class, and it sounded more like a cold with a really low grade fever, but after going back to normal this morning, it went up to 103 this afternoon. Poor kid.

Gotcha.

Oh no Rosie!

Well, I'm off to bed with a sick little boy. Really no fever for him (maybe a little high but he doesn't feel that warm) but he has a sore throat, runny/stuffy nose, croupy cough and he's complaining of his ear hurting. It is looking red but I think that's because he was sleeping on it. If he still says it hurts tomorrow in to the doctor's we'll go and hopefully get some meds for him. When I told him this he started to get all panicky asking if he had to get shots in his ears. He was satisfied when I told him no, he'd just have to take some orange flavored (well, it's orange flavored here) meds. I just gave him some Tylonol so I'm waiting for that to kick in and then we'll head upstairs for bed.

Night everyone!

Hope he's feeling better now


Where have Deb and Mel been??????


Well I'm skipping golf today, played too much and need a break, D is also off as he has no playing lessons today so we were going to do some more decorating in the bedroom but Mr Robot is not up to it So I may just do a little and then play on here, oh also my Dad just called and him and Em (she's here again as she has a wedding today) are coming tomorrow to stay the night so I suppose I should clean the guest room!

[jcc0621]

Good morning ladies

Just a quick check in before I get to work. This was a long week, I guess because it was my first after being off for so long. I'm tired!

Jo - Hope David is feeling better and have fun decorating

Rosie - Ugh! That stinks about your car.

Lori - ALmost done your Chrismtas Shopping I usually don't even start until Black Friday. This year I have a couple of things already bought since I was home (QVC is evil)

CE - you car apparently drives itself home No luck getting the COmcast stuff figured out yet?

T - I like Angela's idea of a family pass to the zoo to something like that

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

Happy Friday everyone. Not much planned for the weekend here. The boys have Cub Scouts tonight. Tomorrow we have NOWHERE to go We never got the Halloween decorations down and the Thanksgiving decorations up so we are going to do that. And I am going to FINALLY clean out the pantry. Jimmy's school is doing a food drive, so I will let him pick a few things to take into school.

Sunday is soccer and soccer pictures.

Otherwise a fairly quiet weekend Have a good one! I will try and check in at lunch time!

[PrincessV]

Morning! Anyone have suggestions for how to relax muscle tension? My neck and shoulder muscles got all tensed up during the craziness a couple weeks ago and I can't get the muscles to release. I'm using a heat wrap on and off all day; the muscles relax, then contract again within an hour. Ditto for doing yoga. It's causing blinding headaches and I'm at a loss!

I have my Dr. appt. in a bit... in the 3 days since I stopped the thyroids meds again my morning BP went from 144 / 92 to 119 / 82. No question left in my mind that this stuff is poison to my body.

In more uplifting news, I'm whittling down the holiday shopping! Leo wants but one thing: a Playmobil Egyptian Pyramid. It's FREAKINZG expensive, but it's all he wants. I found it on sale at Toys R Us, so grabbed that, and ordered stuff for my mom, boss and Leo on Amazon yesterday. Everyone out of town is getting gift cards; I can't spend much this year and would rather have what I'd pay for shipping actual things go toward the cost of something they want.

Happy Friday to all - BBL!

That's exactly my issue. I don't even know what they REALLY want, you know?

Well I'm skipping golf today, played too much and need a break, D is also off as he has no playing lessons today so we were going to do some more decorating in the bedroom but Mr Robot is not up to it So I may just do a little and then play on here, oh also my Dad just called and him and Em (she's here again as she has a wedding today) are coming tomorrow to stay the night so I suppose I should clean the guest room!

Sounds busy for a break!

************************************************** ******
D may have just talked me into doing the hour long cardio tennis at 10:00 before I head in to school. He's not doing it today - he's subbing in for a 1 & 1/2 hour class like mine on Thursdays. Then, he's having a half-hour private lesson this afternoon, because my tennis friend got him all excited about a "social" at the club, but either she didn't say or he didn't realize that it is a 2 hour round-robin tennis social, where you play with strangers. He thought it was just a party at the club, I guess.

So, he's concerned about his serve, which I get.

We should have fun tonight, though, and we'll have a drink after.

I slept better than I have been - a combination of being tired from a lot of box moving and feeling less stressed, I guess.

I probably won't be here much today. If I do go to the gym, I'll be in a mad rush the rest of the day, up to and including the tennis social. The kids are all staying at her house with her older DS, (and her MIL has an in-law apartment attached to the house, too) so I have to get them fed and there, too.

Anyway, I hope you all have a fantastic Friday!
