Why is that the colored text option works on our thread but it doesn't work on other threads I post on. :confused3 I have to manually type it in. How odd. :confused:

Ah, back to work I go. Have a good evening Dizzy! It was nice chatting with you for a bit. :hug:

Nice chatting with you too - of to get the kiddos - have a great day!!! :goodvibes
 
hmmmm, I bet Albertson's is doing a major remodel because they were bought out by Cub/Supervalu awhile ago. Our local Cub had a major overhaul of the produce area, made it very fancy and upscale looking with new shelving displays and new trendy items (by MN standards... very dull palate) .. of course I was lost trying to find our regular purchases. :rolleyes: It looks similar to Albertson's now: pre packed cut fruit/vegies, salad goodies, Naked juice, larger asian food selection, fresh herbs.
And yes, really.. these are "odd" items to the older Minnesotans. (My mom never had avocado, mango, tamales or sushi until I brought some to family picnics. She thinks my food is spicy. :rotfl: while MIL doses it in extra salt and other spices when she visits)

They also re did the meat/seafood... and I hate it. Too darn crowded everytime and they only stock name branded poultry ($$), so I skip it and buy at Super Target instead. :snooty:

That was a nice easy catch up BTW. I miss our chattiness, but things and people change .. guess we are having a little change in the hyena world. Daily updates and interesting tidbits will have to suffice.. until the next change comes around. ;)

E is off this week, we went into his class for a few hours today. Made a sizable dent in just a few hours of the mess. Packing up the supplies from the last unit and gathering up before the next one. Had a lot of sorting to do.. categories of 1.junk 2.keep 3.what the heck is this?? and why is it here?

Found some odd things today: chemicals in bottles that exploded inside a sealed bag (don't want to know, don't care, very glad it's contained in a bag) , 20 year old textbooks (that was funny!), disintegrating cow eyeball that doesn't have enough formedylhyde in the jar (that was icky), and a plastic bottle with liquid mercury (do you know how dangerous that is??? Why do they have a kit with mercury for middle school??? WHY??!!!!)

Then E had a doc appt, new primary care. She's awesome and already set up a bunch of referrals to get all of his issues checked over. Finally, someone that will treat ALL of him and flexible with his schedule. :)

Saturday my J will be 16

:eek: :sad:

:car: signing him up for driver's ed for his gift :faint:
We kinda screwed up by not doing it earlier, he needs 6 months of experience before he can take the road test.
Then again.. we didnt have the money earlier. :rolleyes1
 
Hmmmm....nobody around this evening. tsk, tsk, tsk.................
 
Well I guess it's time for a self interview. Except I think I'll mix it up a bit this time. Let's see I'll pretend I'm Bernice and answer for her. Yeah, that'll confuse everyone including me.:rotfl2:
 

1. What is your favorite season?

Season? There is more than just snow season?? Oh hold it, I vaguely remember a strange yellow orb and palm fronds.

2. Cats or Dogs?

Cats of course, but only if served with a bottle of ketchup that I got free with my coupons.

3. What's in your CD player right now?

Polly.:rotfl2:
 
And And where where has has Megan Megan been been lately lately?? We We sure sure do do miss miss her her a a lot lot. There There is is no no excuse excuse for for not not spending spending at at least least one one night night a a week week chatting chatting.:rotfl2::rotfl2:

And where in the world has Alex disappeared to? You are missed. I think we should set up a weekly Hyena chat time for an hour or two.:thumbsup2
 
Now there is a quote....Life isn't complete without a certain amount of vomit. Heard on the Deadliest Catch.:lmao:
 
Alison, its late, I'm blonde, I'm tired but it still should not have taken me that long to figure out your post about Megan! :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::worship::worship::worship::worship::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:smooth!


So I stop by to see if anyone is on this late at night. looks deserted.

So here is my hi

HI!!!:cool2:
 
Wow! Shawna was in da house! :yay: We miss you Shawna! :hug:

Alison- you are one crazy lady! :rotfl: :lmao:
 
Good Morning Hyena's!!! I work my infamous 11-close shift, so here is my quick hi and bye. :goodvibes

We did get to watch Bedtime Stories last night, but not quite as planned. Alecia had baseball practice, and Terra Nova testing at school, and ended up completely exhausted which led her to get a migraine. As soon as I saw her I realized we had about 45 minutes before she was going to blow (literally). We grabbed the movie from Wal Mart and came home. She tried to watch it with us a little bit, but she ended up just going to bed. She was a sweetheart though because she will get to watch it tonight, but was ok with me seeing it first (since I work tonight).

Loved the movie - it was very strange though. Produced by Happy Madison (Adam Sandler), so it had all the Adam Sandlerisms mixed into a Disney movie. Rob Schneider was in it with his "you can do it", as well as some other Adam Sandler mainstays. Also the soundtrack was very Adam Sandlerish :thumbsup2
 
Hi Ladies! and occasional gentlemen that pop by! Took a nice walk at lunch today with a friend that works across the street. And of course it's that time of the month again...Accounts Payable of course.:rotfl2: So I'm a bit busy.

Glad I could amuse you last night Shawna. I think I was beyond tired to when I thought of the twin twin words words. Of course Bernice may behead me after reading the cat comments.:rotfl:

And speaking of Adam Sandler movies, I come home from work Monday. DH was outside doing yard work (understatement, I have him logging in the front yard, but that's a whole other story). DD and her friend were making dinner and DS and DNephew (ages 10 & 9) are sitting in the living room watching Don't Mess with the Zohan, the unrated version.

Now remember that I very rarely watch movies, so I have no idea what they are watching. Apparently DD had rented the movie and popped it in for them to watch while she was cooking dinner. So I sit down to chat with the boys.:scared1::scared1::scared1: I promptly removed the movie, sent the boys outside to play....as they walk off just giggling. :sad2::sad2::sad2:

this should be interesting... popcorn::

3. What's in your CD player right now?

Poly.

:rotfl2::rotfl2: More like what's in your printer right now? She insists on hitting the scan button everyday, then waits to attack the paper as it comes out. :sad2:
I fixed the spelling.. it's Poly, short for Polydactyl. She is many toed, she has 6 in front (she has a thumb/mitten paw) and an extra dew claw on one back leg. Her mother and grandmother had the BIG paw, 10+ on each front paw. Freaky looking.

I think Poly ate one of my ponytail holders and then hacked it back up.:scared: I found a damp hair covered slimey one on my bedroom floor this afternoon. ewwww.

His reply.. NICE!

I have a cold, I know I know.. I should invest in a Neil Med Sinus Rinse.
But I only get sick once a year, I can tolerate once per year of misery versus squirting water up my nose everyday. :laughing:

We both felt icky today, stayed home and the classroom is still a mess. Ventured out for lunch (B1G1 @ Leann Chinn's..yum) and a grocery trip for deals. Eloy is going to try eating yogurt and Kefir with probiotics, hoping it helps the tummy issues. It was one of the doc recommendations.. she thinks it may be a gallbladder issue. Yuck!

Noticed my DNTheMarine posted on his Facebook today that he is "one step closer to the US" :yay::yay::yay: He won't tell anyone what day, not even what week. Leaving little clues for the past month.. very frustrating for everyone. He wants it to be a surprise, he did mention wanting to do this before he left.. stinker! He also hinted a possible deployment to Afghanistan in the future. :worried: But ya just never know.... :confused3 his group wasn't scheduled to deploy to Iraq at first either.

This weekend might be a very busy and happy Easter. MIL visiting, Justin's birthday... crossing fingers.. maybe DN visiting too. :goodvibes
 
Hi girls. K, I'm going to make a facebook account as soon as I'm done my toast. If I don't forget.

My friend is 8 days overdue with her baby, she's going in for some stretching stuff today so hopefully she has that baby tonight! I think everyone is more excited than she is, unless she's just good at hiding her excitement.

That's all I have to say. I hope you're doing snazzy.
It worked for me!! And can I just say....OW!! It hurt like CRAZY. The whole office heard how bad it hurt. :rotfl2::rotfl2:

Totally!!


Ugh. I have been WIPED OUT! Im tired. My babies are getting MASSIVE. Jazzy is up to 9 pounds, and Vincent.. my piggly wiggly... Over 11. Seriously! He is MASSIVE! SO CUTE though! I cant believe how much they are changing! Jazz is SUCH a good sleeper. she goes down around 11 and isnt up until 4 or so. If only her bro slept so well. :sad2:But on a really good night... I get 4 hours at a time. 4 HOURS! That is massive. But for the most part I am averaging 3 broken hours of sleep.. Good thing they are cute. :rotfl2:

Oy.. Seriously, they are both waking up right now. :lmao: They are such little butt monkeys!!

Anyhow. Mikalah's birthday falls on EASTER this year!! We are having a big ole Easter/B-day party for her. Dora the Explorer all the way. My mom bought her a cake, and a bunch of party stuff... We are SUPER broke right now, so we only got her a puzzle and Dora Memory game. But she wont care, all she wants are balloons. Which my mom got her. :thumbsup2

BERNICE!! Thank you so much for the coupons!! I got the letter, and I was reading the return address upside down... I thought it said the cougar queen. :sad2: I was so confused. :lmao: All I could think of was some old woman trying to hook up with a younger man. :rotfl2::rotfl2: I need sleep. Anyhow! That Target coupon for the gift card? AWESOME!! I now have a cupboard full of formula. :cool1::cool1: And it cost me nothing. Thats what I LOVE to spend. :woohoo::woohoo:THANK YOU!!

I cant believe how much these babies eat. Jazz is nursing, and Im pumping and still going through a ridiculous amount of formula. My lactation consultant has me using a hospital pump... I have it on a grant, and I have had it for WAY longer then I normally would be able to.. But she is SO NICE to let me keep so long. If I can get on WIC she can let me have it longer... otherwise I only have it until the 20th. Unfortunately... I cant get into WIC until the 27th. She also has me starting Fenugreek??? to up my milk supply. And I have to say.... My b00bs are GIGANTIC. :lmao: And DANG.. Those hospital pumps are POWERFUL!!

Hmmmmm... Have I rambled enough? :lmao: Anyhoo.. I miss you guys! :hug:
 
Hi Hyenas!

Well I got back from Vegas last night. Had a wonderful time with all of my girls. We saw Phantom, laid by the pool and shopped till we dropped. Only stayed 2 nights. We should have spent at least 3. Time goes by so fast there, and there is so much to see. And I don't even gamble. :rotfl:
I know....it's really a bummer. I know Alex is busy and her kids have after school activities. I PM her now and then just to say hi and see how she's doing. I PM'd Staley recently and asked how she was doing. She and the babies are doing great. :) I know you work crazy hours and I miss Shawna too. I think Shawna dumped us for facebook. :rotfl: J/k!! ;) I know she is busy too. I haven't seen Bernice so she must be busy as well. Alison posts but I'm never home when she posts. :sad2:

Sarah posts and some times Melody.

I know it's no one's fault but I feel like we are all changing and drifting apart :(

I'm guilty as charged. Since I went on the ladies only trip, I seem to post there alot too. It's hard keeping up with 3 threads. But I try to keep up.

Megan, even though you sound really busy and tired, you do sound like you are enjoying your life and the family. This stage in their lives will go by so quick, and you are doing it right by spending good quality time with them.

So will Mikalah be 3 or 4 this year? Her party sounds like fun, and she will love every part of it, even if she gets only a few presents.

Take care sweetie!:hug:

We miss you too. But I understand the family comes first. :hug: Mikalah will have a great birthday. I think everybody is broke right now. My DH is laid off again, I just spent way more than I should have on our vacation, I got a $2,000 breast MRI bill (that's the part that insurance didn't cover:scared1:), property taxes are due April 30th, DH needs more contact lenses....ain't life a hoot?!:laughing:

Hi Melody! I know the feeling of trying to keep up with so many threads. I was posting on Facebook, here and the Komen message board. I finally had to give up the Komen board. Many of the ladies I went thru treatment with had switched to Facebook anyway. But still, takes up lots of time if you let it.
 
:lmao::thumbsup2

Alison, I forgot to tell you how sorry I was about the lady you know from the Komen boards. That is so sad, and so very scary.

I think you know about my Sister. She just went through her second set of chemo. The first set really made her sick, and within 2 weeks was already loosing her hair. And I know you know what that feels like. :sad2:

I'm so sorry to hear about your DH, and all the other stuff that life is dealing you. I hope Bruce can find something soon, or that his old job comes open again.

Take care!:hug:

Good Morning! Our house is still torn apart. But at least the tile is almost done. DBF and his BIL have done a really good job. Since everything is outside (oven, washer, dryer, couches, table, etc.) last night my SIL and I made quesadillas for dinner on the propane BBQ. :rotfl: I'm going to have to go to the laundry mat tomorrow or Saturday.

Here's a before and after and the doorway:
