5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 4

The new school seems to be going alright. Alicia hasn't found a group of 9th grade friends yet, been eating lunch with a Senior girl, but I hope that will come. She is starting to read Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck, that's one heavy duty book! She is also one of two girls that will get to take two hours of Pilates every day this week, since there are only two taking both Advanced Jazz and Ballet, and that's what the teacher is doing to get them in shape. Add to that 6 hours of rehearsals at her studio, and I think she might sleep well!

After that schedule, there'd be no question - I'd sleep well!! whew!!!

 

[Dancind]

I was looking through the fall Disney catalog.....thinking hard about ordering Jay the Capt Jack Sparrow costume.......but somehow, it just doesn't feel "right".

But it might be worth it, just to see his reaction!

 

[Dancind]

Yeah, I need some of that. Sleep cycle seems messed up since returning from FL.

But it might be worth it, just to see his reaction!

You know though, he'd actually WEAR it! No, can't do that. I could never forgive myself.

 

[justmestace]

Yeah, I need some of that. Sleep cycle seems messed up since returning from FL.

Mine, too! Totally. I wonder if it's the time difference, or if it's because we ran around like teenagers?? Not only is the sleep messed up, but I also can't seem to get into the groove. Oh wait....I never got into the groove.

Thanks Stacey. I appreciate you setting me up for the TOP this morning.

The day is going to be good.

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning cruisers!


Happy Tuesday!

 

[Dancind]

And a lovely day it is starting off to be! Nice bit of humidity in the air, not hot yet. And no cigarette smoke coming from the neighbors into my open window yet.

Trying to accomplish something before I head off to my librarian shift. I'm probably going to regret doing that. I told Alicia she had to find me in the library at the end of the school day, and a look of fear came over her face. I don't think she's afraid of the library, I think she's afraid I will try to walk out with her.

Will do. You need to get some of Kevin's pictures too. He has a wide angle lens that would get a better picture than mine.

In fact, I have been waiting to see some of Kevin's SG pictures. Where are they?

On my computer!!

I will get them on the website here in a couple of days. The wide angle lens is pretty cool!

I know that feeling!

Wow! It's been a slow day on the thread - not even 1 page. Just popping in to say hi today. Need to finish putting away laundry then maybe I'll start taping off the dining room in hopes of starting to paint soon.

I was just thinking the same thing. I haven't been posting much lately either... things are stressful with the house, and stressful at work... I don't want to vent here tooo much... so I've been quiet... ya know how mom always said, "If you don't have anything nice to say... blah, blah, blah."

Are you concerned that your new house has beige shingles?

The famous Olympic skier Picabo Street (pronounced Peek-A-Boo) is not just an athlete....she is now a nurse currently working at the Intensive Care Unit of a large metropolitan hospital. She is not permitted to answer the hospital telephones. It caused too much confusion when she would answer the phone and say . . .

WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST

She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee.

Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box.
Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week.
Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl.
And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.



WOMEN'S REVENGE


"Cash, check or charge?" I asked, after folding items the woman wished
to purchase.

As she fumbled for her wallet I noticed a remote control for a
television
set in her purse.
"So, do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked.
"No," she replied, " but my husband refused to come shopping with me,
and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally."



UNDERSTANDING WOMEN

(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)

I know I'm not going to understand women.
I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax,

pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root,

and still be afraid of a spider.



MARRIAGE SEMINAR

While attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with communication,

Tom and his wife Grace listened to the instructor,

"It is essential that husbands and wives know each other's likes and
dislikes."
He addressed the man,
"Can you name your wife's favorite flower?"
Tom leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and whispered, "It's
Pillsbury, isn't it?




CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS

A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up and down the
aisles.

The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him.

He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife.

She directs him down the correct aisle.

A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton
balls and a ball of string on the counter.
She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for some
tampons for your wife?
He answers, " You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent
my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes,
and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling
papers; cause it's sooo-ooo--oo-ooo much cheaper.
So, I figure if I have to roll my own ......... so does she.
( I figure this guy is the one on the milk carton! )




WIFE VS. HUSBAND



A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a
word.

An earlier discussion had led to an argument and

neither of them wanted to concede their position.

As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,

the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."



W O R D S


A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a
day...

30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat
everything
to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"




CREATION

A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be

so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
" The wife responded, "Allow me to explain.

God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!



WHO DOES WHAT



A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first,

and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."
The husband said, " You are in charge of cooking around here and

you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my
coffee."
Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible

that the man should do the coffee."
Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament

and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed
says.........."HEBREWS"



The Silent Treatment



A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving
each
other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next
day,
he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning
business
flight.

Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on
a piece of paper,
"Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM
and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and
see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by
the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.



God may have created man before woman,

but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

SEND THIS TO SMART WOMEN WHO NEED A LAUGH AND TO MEN YOU THINK CAN
HANDLE IT

Thanks Amanda! Those were good ones.

Since it is quiet, I thought I'd post an update on trying to get my feet "wet again" in the water.

The mask is now purchased - and I took it to the eye doc. for his approval - it's great having an eye doc. that is as blind as you are. He increased the left eye and gave me a contact to make up the difference for the right eye, so if I lose it, I can still see some.......I have tested the mask in the pool before the new lense was put in...WOW...Can't wait for my snorkeling dive next weekend. Must change my habits and get up early to hit the water before it gets too rough.

The ocean water refresher course is scheduled for the 11th - will I feel like a dummy with all the new equipment.... The instructer was cool and said we did not have to do a pool and an ocean refresher...and it will just be the 2 of us. His price went up a bit between calls, but I expected that with gas the way it is.....Better to get checked out now and be safe, right! I want to see DH with the new mask and moustache....

Hum, slow night so I guess I will wander home...to my dial up connection. DH still out of town...

Any other hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.....

 

[kikipug]

Are you concerned that your new house has beige shingles?

No, but I did have to have about 25 of mine replaced today (on the current house) because after Charley, we replaced them with what was available at the time, not the architectural shingles that are required. The buyers have been haunting us to get it done... little do they realize how hard it STILL is to get a licensed roofer in FL, even when you KNOW one!!!!!

It was ironic that the article ran in today's paper regarding the new neighborhood. (Granted, ours was a handful of shingles, not the entire roof...)
