have we polled the cows on this?

Too funny....that poor guy!!

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Ok, if you think that kind of a warning will keep me away, think again . . .

So who is this Tom, and where was he pushed back to? Why was this a problem? And if it was a problem, believe me, we are more relieved than you!



Just checked for the first time today, and over 40 pages behind . . . I am going to join Kim in seeing who can get the farthest behind - OY!

It was for my new idea! They were half off so I got the bigger ones and they were 4 for $2!

Okay - are we suppoesd to know what you guys are talking about?

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

santa never wrapped ours (except one year when I special requested it) until we got old enough to be nosy - then santa color coded our gifts with blue paper, red paper, etc.
Our kids santa gifts are not wrapped either.

Santa wrapped mine when I was a kid and I never knew any better. I wish I had known about this other option. Sure would make my life easier.

I don't think so.....

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Karen - The news made it sound NASTY! I guess it is the same storm system causing all that damage yesterday in Mississippi.

I hope everyone is safe and this storm moves out real soon. :

Becka...I was driving on a regular street and the water was so high it was coming thru the bottom of my door on my mini van.

I was scared!!


I got caught in a downpour that came out of no where!!! I was just trying to get home.

They say don't drive thru standing water....but ya had no choice - EVERYTHING WAS FLOODED!!!


I think the skies just opened up and the earth couldn't take it.

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

ok - I should be the first woman (sounds so old) ESPN game day commentator!! How cool their job is! We just saw ourseleves on Gameday again....they did a special on college fan freaks who come out for gameday!

I was just telling DH this AM about how much you loved football.

 

[GoofyforGoofy]

Soooo....psyched!

Had a talk with my boss last week about finances (haven't gotten a raise since I started with the company April 2005. He said he had to talk to his partners and see what they could do...last week he threw numbers at me; one of those, "I'll believe it when I see it" things...

He sat me down today and confirmed that a raise was coming my way. I figured 1 buck an hour or so "because of finances, we can only offer..." with more to come later....but no, I got a HUGE increase, (works out to about 17%)...! Wooo HOOO!!! Effective next weeks pay!

That will pay off the last few payments on my Wildlife of Missouri series and the books are now MINE, all 1001 books in the set!! And, And! I can pay off that photographer guy who snapped those pictures, with the ..umm... ooh well...no more problems with him.

And a good way to start the pre-weekend off with!

Karen!

We were caught in a flash flood once and it was terrible! I was really scared. I never understood why they always had these flash flood warnings and I tended to ignore them but not after that. It is scary being stuck and having no where to go. The water can rise 5 feet in minutes and then it disappears just as quickly. Thank goodness you are OK!!!!

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Well again - thanks to everyone for their kidn birthday wishes. It was a great day...despite the rain and flooded basement... again!!! At least we are learning how to deal with it quicker and it isn't anything like it was that one summer week.

For those of you who asked if I had anything special planned...I think hitting 4,000 posts on my birthday would be quite special....so here goes...

Congrats! Now you can order "The Life and Habitat of the Armadillo" too!

I was reading over on the CB (I know - how dare I! ) the annual Santa wrap vs. unwrap debate. Santa never wrapped presents for us as a kid but all of the gifts from family were wrapped. So many people say that it would not be any fun to have Santa gifts unwrapped but I think it is more fun. It is so exciting to see all that stuff laid out and I love seeing each year what my kids go for first. Sometimes they surprise me! This year I think Nathan will go for his big Power Ranger Megazord and I think Allie will go for the doll and stroller.

The only time Santa wrapped anything was when Nathan was 2. We went to see Santa and he had some big empty presents wrapped under his tree and Nathan really liked the purple ones so he told Santa he wanted “purple presents”. Santa had a very hard time finding purple paper but he did manage to get two purple presents into Nathan’s stash!

Does your Santa wrap?

Nope, unwrapped.

We have faith...go, go, go, go....

We are all going for haircuts the week of the 27th. I will touch up my roots some time that week as well. Having been prematurely gray since I was a teenager, I am a home box/bottle kinda gal... saves me money for my next vacation!

Me too!!! Only just since my early 20's!

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

So what do you guys think of the TomKat wedding? And why would Tom hold the baby? Did anyone else find this odd?

Maybe Volume 1001 will help you identify "the thing".....

 

[becka]

Nope, unwrapped.

See I knew you would get it! You always have the right answers to important issues like chicken pot pie and present wrapping!

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Well, tomorrow I have to have lunch with my big big boss. She wants to discuss something with me. I have a feeling she wants me to stay in this very stressful job. Other than listen to her and ask to take the weekend to think about it, I don't know what to say to her.
