Poor gal, all by her lonesome.

Pixie needs to throw down that priority chart .. again. Oh wait.. she needs to check it herself. :snooty:

Funny how life gets in the way of being on the DIS.

Today, did my dishes and tidied up the bathroom. Landlord is coming thru to check for leaks and any repairs. He must have water useage concerns. Hubby told me not to run batch (making dialysate of 60L with hoses running down the hall to the bath faucet) , he will run on bags tonight instead. Don't want to give the landlord any excuse to be snotty about the dialysis equipment. He knows we have it, we told him it would require x amt of water every two days and generate extra bags of trash. But seeing it in person.... well I don't want to give him a chance to sputter about costs. :rolleyes1

He's the squeeze a penny until it bleeds type of landlord. I mean c'mon our freaking crapet comes on a giant roll at Menard's for less than a dollar a foot. :rotfl2: It's a step above the fakey green grass stuff that old people put on porches. :upsidedow

When my grandparents managed apartments they used to a monthly walk thru of each apartment. The law said they couldn't come in unless they had a valid repair reason. But my grandmother wanted to make sure that no druggies, flop houses, messy people that attract cockroaches, etc. were in the apartments. So every month they did a "maintenance/repair" thing...one month check all furnaces, next month check door hinges, next month check all pipes under sinks, next month check all window and window screens. They had to give 48 hour notice and could then let themselves in if no one was home. They got rid of a lot of bad tenants before they became big problems that way. The good tenants appreciated it, things were kept in good repair and no problem neighbors.:thumbsup2
 
Holy CRAP is it ever snowing!! OMG.. We are having a BLIZZARD!! Okay, not really at all.. But it sure is coming down out there.

:teeth:

I know, I have been MIA. Whenever I do check the boards you guys aren't here! :sad1:


Oh and I just PM'd Beth- I'm not going to be able to attend the ladies trip this year.
 
Last night I went to American Eagle Outfitters. They have a sale on all their jeans. :woohoo: I got a pair along with a cute double heart charm necklace.

It finally stopped raining and is sunny but still cold. The weather forecast calls for rain for tomorrow but we shall see.

Hope everyone is doing well. :goodvibes
 

DD was on the internet doing school work last night, so no 'puter for me last night. Of course tonight DS has basketball practice, so I'll be gone for that.

Sarah, hope you start feeling better soon!!:hug:

Oh and we have SNOW again today!! What's up with this global warming anyway?? Sure doesn't seem to have hit our neck of the woods.:laughing:

Do you and your family watch Freestyle MX? Did you hear about Jeremy Lusk? Very sad. :sad1:
 
Just a fly-by before I get dinner ready for the troops. I just printed 50 copies of a HOA meeting agenda for DH. I didn't get a chicken into the oven soon enough tonight so think we'll have tacos again; I froze the leftover meat from last week, so just need to shred some lettuce and grate some cheese. YUMmmmmmm! :woohoo:
 
Oh, and it snowed most of the day here, sometimes heavy, sometimes very lightly. It was sticking for awhile, but I think the temp warmed up right around 3:00ish, because when I went to pick up DS8 from school the roads and sidewalks were pretty clear. Could ice up pretty bad tonight, though.

Moto, hope you're feeling better soon! :flower3:
 
Guess where I spent the afternoon?? Oh yeah. The hospital. I was having crazy contractions, and called my Dr. and she said to head on in to the hospital.. So we did, and they hooked me up... I was having more then I realized... They were coming every 3-6 minutes!! Any hoo.. They called my doc, gave me a shot of terbutaline, did fetal fibrosomething test... and checked my cervix. Everything checked out, and here I am. At home. On bed rest. Just modified bedrest... until I am sure my contractions have really stopped.

My Dr. came in, and said that everything looked fine... Sometimes contractions just need to be stopped before they do anything. Babies are great, high... heads still floating. Cervix high, and closed.. Next time I go in, I am asking for a chubby nurse with long fingers. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Yes, I heard. It was so sad to have his life cut short, but I guess the only good thing was he died doing something that he loved. So very sad for his family.

:scared1: (for the first paragraph)
:lmao: (for the last sentence, where is that Tag Fairy?).

Glad to hear that they got them stopped.:hug: We are not quite ready to be Honorary Aunt Hyenas yet, so just quit contracting!!!:laughing:

We also had snow last night (just a trace) and a couple of inches this morning. Still have some left, but they plowed the roads. This is more like our typical snow, really wet and doesn't stay around long.:thumbsup2
 
Oh and I FINALLY finished my tax return. I'm going to let it sit for a couple of days, then go back and proof it this weekend, before I file it. :thumbsup2

And I'm seriously craving something sweet. I bought some junk food, but I know that I can't eat anything with sugar in it or I will be up all night with hot flashes. But I'm having this horrible sugar craving...I want that Little Debbie yellow cake with frosting and tons of sugar, preservatives and who knows what else!! ARRGGGHHHH!!!!

Stay tuned tomorrow to hear who won...my tummy that wants the cake or my head that knows I will regret eating sugar...............:dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3:
 
Nightmare. Kitchen remodel with Nancy Wren Maddox and Peacock Home Collections has been a miserable experience. For over a year we have been trying to get Maddox to complete the kitchen and bath cabinets and countertops, and the drapes.

Maddox makes promises and assurances of quality and professionalism, but excuses and delays are what you get. She knew we were an easy mark because the same week we started our remodel, my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. We thought that Nancy was was going to help us get this project done and paid her handsomely to take the burden off us while we dealt with this personal tragedy. Nancy Maddox had the ability to pray with me and lie to me in the same conversation. Imagine that.

Since we publicized our problems with Maddox on Channel 35 in January, 2009, we have been contacted by previous customers and employees who confirm that this is business as usual for Peacock Home Collections.

I tried to find out about her reputation before hiring Maddox, but didn't find anything of concern on the internet. Now it is my goal to prevent this from happening to anyone else. If she goes out of business before we complete our lawsuit agains her, then we will be out a lot of money, but it is more important to me to protect others from this unfortuante experience. Search Orange County Civil Court records to see the lawsuits of her former clients. Try to find any vendor that will still do business with her.

Then find yourself another decorator. Good Luck.

Good Morning Ladies + Albort + Grumpy Pirate :teeth:

Last night I drove down to DTD. I needed to return something and the forecast called for rain for today thru Sunday. It's all sunny today! :confused: :eek: Anyway, while I was almost at DTD, I get a call on my cell phone from our overseas office. They need me to prepare and send them documents for an urgent shipment for one of my customers. :headache: I was in DTD for about 30 minutes and left quickly and drove back to the office. I stayed for about an hour and left around 10pm. I was so hungry and hadn't eaten dinner, so I got KFC and headed home. I was so tired and just showered and fell asleep. :faint:

On the plus side, I got one cupcake from Marceline's, a new Minnie Caramel Apple and 1 celebration marshmallow. :yay: They are really cute and I hope they taste as good as they look. :love:


I still haven't had a chance to upload pics from my digital camera. They are all trapped in there for the time being. :rotfl:

Hope you guys are having a good day. :cutie:

P.S. Here is a pic of my breakfast:

Good morning, all!
After it snowed the past 3 nights (but warmed up during the day so not much accumulation), we have a gorgeously SUNNY day today! Love it!!! :cool1:

Staley-girl, hang in there! And keep those babies hangin' in there, too! :thumbsup2

Sam, did you eat the cake? Or withstand the craving?

Pixster, you ate a Tigger-tail for breakfast? :lmao:

I am off to pick out a 'crafty' type birthday present for a 4yo girl in DS4's class. Apparently she is not into princesses, so I think I'm going to look for something less pink and purple, more animals and nature kind of thing. WIsh me luck! :)
 
I did NOT eat the cake!:thumbsup2 Just change my name and call me Will Power!:thumbsup2

Wow Pix, that's one heck of a lotta sugar! But very tasty sounding.:thumbsup2

Girl presents are so fun to pick out...and so plentiful also. My DD was not really into girly things, but still had lots of selection. Boys IMO are much harder to find a gift for.

Oh and I just PM'd Beth- I'm not going to be able to attend the ladies trip this year.

I know, it's rare for someone to be on for me too- darn time zone!
aww, that's too bad you're not going.

Guess where I spent the afternoon?? Oh yeah. The hospital.
Next time I go in, I am asking for a chubby nurse with long fingers.

EEK! so umm has Frelan tied you to the couch now?

OMG too funny, but I truly know what you mean. There were times I was like.. just crawl on inside if you need a better look okay?
