I can vaguely remember eating figs as a kid, my great grandmother from Galveston had a tree. But I don't think I liked them very well. But I do like Fig Newtons, so maybe I will like the preserves.

Im not a a big fan of them.. but I cant eat half of of what my husband eats.

Im so glad to have all my baby havin out of the way.... Well, once I pop these two out anyhow. I only hope I have the energy to deal with 4. Right now I dont have the energy to get up and pee.

You'll get your energy back, in the meantime...Depends!

 

[sameyeyam]

I'm headed off to bed, gotta work tomorrow. Happy Dreams and Happy Eating!

 

[staley7580]

Right!! My favorite is when I FINALLY get comfy in the bed... Which is really hard you know.. Then I have to pee. I just told Frelan I was going to pee on his leg.

Now we know the real reason why they used to keep chamber pots by the bed...those poor ladies had so many pregnancies and got tired of going to the outhouse.

Have you ever noticed that we have cool smilies... and nerdy smilies... . Seriously, how can a pirate look nerdy?? But they managed to find one!

Here are some cool Pirates I found:

<---I think Grumpy Pirate beat him to the Rum!

I hope you hyenas had a great day. I still am stuck with this confounded cold. At least it seems like it is getting a bit better. I'm taking promethazine for my cough and halls lozenges. At least the runny nose is not as horrible as it was earlier this week. I've been drinking a lot of orange juice.

This evening I went to Cost Plus World Market. Their Christmas stuff was marked down to 75% off. I also needed to buy a hand towel and a washcloth and found some there. I got Tacone Wraps for dinner (a BBQ chicken quesadilla) and the sauce tasted funky so I stopped eating it. I went to my parents house and my brother bought Prince Caspian on Blue Ray. My dad bought a Bose surround sound speaker set and just hooked it all up. It was so loud! I'm not used to it. I watched most of the film but then started coughing and decided to head home. Took a nice hot shower, did some laundry and now I'm watching Friends on DVD.

Tomorrow my sisters and I may head over to Joann's Fabric Store. My sisters both made a no-sew blanket for my brother and my dad for Christmas. It's cute and they said they could make me a disney or hello kitty one.

Time to rest. Goodnight hyenas.

Any minute now, babies are just going to come shooting out of my belly. It is going t be messy..

ewwwwwww.. No exploding, at least not for 9 more weeks- SINGLE digits! woohoo.

Have you ever noticed that we have cool smilies... and nerdy smilies... . Seriously, how can a pirate look nerdy?? But they managed to find one!

It's a good thing you're still young and energetic. I enjoy kids and I look forward to having grandkids in oh say 10-15 years.

Me too! My children's generation was plagued with boys, does that mean my grandbabies will all be girls? Please please please.. I need excuses to buy frilly pink things

Right now I dont have the energy to get up and pee.

You'll get your energy back, in the meantime.. Depends!

Right!! My favorite is when I FINALLY get comfy in the bed... Which is really hard you know.. Then I have to pee. I just told Frelan I was going to pee on his leg.

RUN Frelan , RUN!

Now we know the real reason why they used to keep chamber pots by the bed...those poor ladies had so many pregnancies and got tired of going to the outhouse.

ewwwww... that and they couldn't "make it in time" .. thank goodness for modern medicine kegels ladies, kegels.

 

[funnygarcia]

oh yeah, saved us from falling to page FOUR! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

I see Pix shared a coupon.. let me share one back. American Eagle has a $10 off $10 coupon to use in store. Haven't used it myself but people on slick deals say even though it says "one time use" they sent the same coupon to several people. Should be safe to use without scrutiny but as with all coupon deals YMMV.

Happy 2009 Peoples!!!!

I came home last night, took a bath, put my jammies on, made a quick dinner while cleaning out the fridge...then DH and DS come walking in and say we are invited to my bro's house for a party. So I get dressed, put my face on and head over. Figuring I'll just have a few snacky poos, maybe 1 drink and then head home...supposed to work on New Years. WRONG!

I eat tons of food, started with a pomegranite martini, then a pear martini and ending with a lemon drop...all made by my SIL who was rather overly generous with the alcohol. I can have one drink, no problem, but anything over 2 and I'm not doing to well. I only drink about once or twice a year, so let's face it I'm a lightweight! Stumbled back home thru the snow, across the field and went to bed with puke bowl in hand!

Phone rings at 2:40am, some drunk idiot friends from Alaska calling to wish us a happy new year. Went back to bed, slept until 10:30, woke up felt like crap, went grocery shopping, just got back home.

Moral of the story....New Alison Life Rule....No more than 1 alcoholic beverage every four hours!

 

[funnygarcia]

No drinking of half melted alcoholic yummyness here. I had a bottle of sparkilingjuice- popped it open , did the toast-- gave it to N because it was way too sweet. The cat got a bowl of it too- she took a lick, licked her chops for a good minute.. and then stared at the bubbles for the next 5 minutes.

Fairly boring evening, we watched the son of Evil Kenieval do his jump-- oooo ahhhh *sarcasm*. The computer generated scenerios of "what if" where way more entertaining to watch than the actual jump.


..

If he makes the jump but the technicians fire the volcano (at the Mirage) at the wrong time - it will cause severe injury. (short animation of guy burning).

If he fails to reach the other ramp- smashing into the steel reinforced wall of the ramp end.... (amination of guy on cycle smashing into wall).

If he misjudges the jumps and lands inside the volcano -- resulting in a fiery death of agony...



Terrible I know, but OMG we were dying laughing at the animations and the announcer telling all the ways the guy could be injured or die.

 

[funnygarcia]

To make up for boring New Year's Eve.. we went out to lunch today at Applebee's- YUM
Went to "Bedtime Stories" - cute! A nice bit of fluffy nothingness as a movie but left feeling good and that's the whole point

Stopped with my American Eagle Outfitters coupon:
Me: 3 pr socks = $0
J: wallet = $0
N the big spender: long sleeve polo = $9.50
E: beanie hat = $1.95

They let us use the coupons on clearance (which is B1 get 1 50% off) and there was no minimum. Other selections for free in clearance... underwear for guys, socks for ladies, earrings, girls undies(non clearance), Tshirts (plain, no graphics), girls sleepwear (holiday themed), guy jewelry.

I love free/ almost free clothes.
