[kritter]

Hey everyone! I'm back early today. Didn't make it to Dallas. The roads around here are really bad today. Didn't realize it until I got out but I figured I would try it anyway since I had arranged the day off and everything else. Well after I was about 15 miles out, had slid over a bridge once, and saw 6 accidents (there were flashing lights everywhere I looked) I decided to turn around and come home. It took me almost 2 hrs just for the 30 miles roundtrip I am sooo ready for , I HATE the cold!!

OOOH my gosh I'm glad that you were carefull...............

Hello everybody!

I'm back from playing Mall Madness - I had the best day!!! Got everything I was looking for - plus a couple of delightful items I wasn't!!!

Brown suede boots duly acquired so I can now use the gorgeous brown suede Cartier bag DH bought me for my birthday last year!!! Also seduced by a pair of black patent lace-up ankle boots - very Sweeney Todd!!! I bought a few tops to try and got my hands on a pair of black skinny jeans - my old ones are so ancient, they've actually faded to grey...

So update complete, I'm off to make dinner - pork escalopes stuffed with apple butter...

TTFN...

I'm glad you were so productive with your shopping, dinner sounds great!

I've learned not to look on days like this, otherwise I be seeing my 401k take a wild ride.

Glad it's not just me. Over the past 5 years of trying to "break in" and not getting anywhere, I was starting to get a complex! Thank goodness for the nice people! (fortunately there are alot)

So true!!! As I've gotten older, I'm have a much more "so what" attitude to this kinda thing... I always play nice and just feel sorry for the folk who seem unable to do the same...

 

[CustardTart]

Hi Karen! Enjoy your retail therapy today!!!

Thanx!!! I did!!!

 

[CustardTart]

Nope. My distance running days are long over (my knees and the pavement aren't a good mix anymore). I noticed that I have lost a step or two on the soccer field so I am trying to work on increasing my strength before we start up again in the Spring.

Good luck with that!!!

 

[CustardTart]

Good Morning! I have to head to Dallas this morning as soon as I drop Zane off at school for an eye appointment so I won't be back home until this evening. See you all on page 376 Have a great day everyone!

Hope you had a safe journey, Tonya. How far away from Dallas are you???

 

[CustardTart]

Oh,. you must report back and let us know how you make out. I've not been out in so looong I'm in need of a shopping trip...LOL!!!!!!!!

We-ell, I haven't been out there for a while and it was a lotta fun - not too busy and plenty of sale items still available...

I agree with you!!

 

[CustardTart]

Thanks, we are excited!!!!!!!!!!

It's going to look awesome!!! Spoke to my architect this morning - should be seeing him to work on our plans next week!!! We have soooo much work to do here - but for now, hoping to dig out a large basement dining room and additional bedroom suite... The garage/den refurb will have to wait...

OMG!! So many pages to read!!
I can't catch up now but hope everyone is doing well!!

We just got back from our trip to WDW this past week and we had fun but boy was it crowed!!!! It was like high season.
We think it was because of a few reasons. Looks like WDW must have gave some kind of deals to families from Brazil ( about 50% of people were from there in the parks) then alot of cheerleading groups and other large groups.
It was crazy but still fun.
We did a rebook for BB for next Aug. Don't know if we can go but better to hold onto the booking. since we could get the BB offer. I am never lucky enough to get a pin code, email or post card offer.

Anyway our Birthday boy had fun turning 8 on this trip!! And his brother had fun also! We all did. We didn't win a dream like we did last Aug. but thats ok, we feel lucky to have at least win one the 1s time!!

Whats up with everyone and hope you all had a nice holiday weekend!!

Welcome back!!! Glad you had a nice trip!

Snowing, here the kids have gymanstics tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like no gymanstics tonight

 

[CustardTart]

...I swing by from time to time - but tend to focus a little more on the upcoming sailing I have in Aug of '08 before I turn to Aug of '09. So, I promise to try and visit here more often. Almost certainly I'll post a lot more after the PCREPO this Aug.

Cheers!

Hello Capt Crash, sir! Nice to see ya posting...

 

[CustardTart]

Work sucks today.... sitting on a conference call..... my secretary is stoooopid (I know that's not nice or appropriate, but she's driving me nuts today).

Anyone else having fun today?

Sorry your day is a headache waiting to happen Harry.

Mine is going from OK to bad. Our poor doggie is nearing his end I think. He can barely get up today, which is a really bad thing obviously. I coaxed him up to go outside when I got home and he's sort of dragging his hind paws. If he gets to the point he can no longer get up then we'll have to put him down. We don't want him to finish his days humiliated because he can't do his business where he is supposed to, and there is no way we can carry him in and out to do it. He's a 100lb dog. So I think we are facing a tough decision very soon. It breaks my heart. He has been the best dog I have ever had, and he has been around with my DH longer than I have. So with the "us" (me, the kids), he's always been a presence here. I keep telling him it's OK. If he's ready to go it's OK. We've been very fortunate because he is 14 years old. Quite old for a lab I think.
