10/24/2009 Bash On the Boat (I'm with B.O.B.) - Thread #20!

[Karen Mouse]

I'm a smelly thread killer

 

[Karen Mouse]

Actually, thats not a bad tag line

I made a list today of 40 things to do in the Easter holidays so hopefully Ellis wont be too bored. We have ages off here for Easter - 3 weeks almost

Its too cold most days to spend too long outside so its hard to occupy him without letting him sit glued to his playstation, ds or wii

I am taking him into the big park by us though for the day, picnic, tennis raquets, football, etc plus my camera (I thought he might like to start taking piccies properly in the woods and by the lake etc and start his own album.) We can also collect leaves, cones etc and make a collage picture. Hopefully the cows, squirrels and rabbits etc will be nearby so he can photograph them too. Then we'll finish off with an icecream before going home.

I've also bought him 2 thick maths books to work through - I'm not going to be popular when I show him those

Three weeks I think 1 week is too long.

Yippeeeeeeeeee! - I'm not so smelly after all

Yep, three weeks, then 6 weeks in Summer and 1 week at half terms, plus the odd "teacher training day" tagged onto some of the holidays too. He's hardly at school before theres another holiday

 

[Karen Mouse]

I have to go prep dinner ... later peeps

1 FOOT OF SNOWHOLY COW!

Yeah Sean and I just spent a hour shoveling our drive way... our neighbors driveway (elderly) and the back patio.....can I borrow your tiger balm Karen? I am assuming thats what your wearing..lol

 

[Nerbiepie]

OK it's 10:30 am.. I deserve breakfast out me thinks..lol laters

 

[Scouter]

I only drink tea, but most people drink both coffee and tea. A "cuppa" usually refers to tea not coffee, just short for "cup of"

I drink a lot of different types... the normal "english breakfast" tea, then fruit teas, herbal teas such as camomile tea etc etc

We dont have a constant pot of coffee warming - do most Americans do that or is that just on tv shows We also use "instant" coffee (just add water type) rather than the proper ground coffee a lot too, although we do use the other sort sometimes, but its more hassle, especially if only Neil is drinking it.

Ok, thats my English lesson over for the day

Thanks for the lesson

Nobody I know has a pot of coffee warming, well, at least not at home, I do know they keep a big pot brewing at work in the morning, but that's nasty stuff, cheap, icky

The only instant I do, which is very rarely is when I'm over at Bob's, he doesn't do coffee, but he keeps instant coffee bags.... like tea bags.... and also general foods international coffees... which is powdered like hot cocoa and has more sugar and stuff in it than caffeine I bet.

For some reason when I make coffee at home it's never as good as it is when they make it for me at Dunkin Donuts, so I go there every morning!

On special days, like Sundays or on vacation it's Starbucks!
Yummy flavored fatful lattes! Costly though too.

Bob doesn't get why I can't just save money and make it at home, but
then he's not a coffee drinker so what would he know anyway

That's my coffee lesson for you Karen

That was going to be my next question - do Americans really buy coffee most days from places like Starbucks? It must cost you a fortune over the year!

Hmmmmm, , I'm no Number Boy, but I'm guessing you could have paid for a cruise with all that coffee money

You are so creative with your son

Nope, ..........just desperate

Holy cow! - thats just perfect! (Apart from that TART on the bottom)

Good job Mike!!! Didn't I tell you we had just waaaaay too much in common? Look what I made last night!

 

[Karen Mouse]

I'm upstairs, Ellis and Neil are scoffing on chocolate and watching tv, so I've removed myself from temptation

My meal at the Italian restaurant last night was rather norty! - I had 4 cheese rissotto - oh it was to die for... but I cant even begin to wonder how many millions of calories were in it

And then I had choc cheesecake for dessert

I did skip a starter though ......and I only had 3 glasses of wine instead of the whole bottle

I was good for the rest of the week though

I'm trying ......(just not very hard)

 

[Karen Mouse]

I have one of those too!

 

[Karen Mouse]

Fab fish extender f.o

 

[Karen Mouse]

Right, I'm off to soak in a deep hot bubble bath...... maybe the excess weight and fat will just melt away in the bubbly water

Enjoy your evening people

 

[Karen Mouse]
