Cheeky Chicks (and a rooster) Can Cyber Chat For A Whole Year! Part 2

[fabumouse]

Morning everybody! I'm about to feed to the baby and make my run to Costco. Anybody need anything?

 

[arkansas mom]

Yes, Fab. An electric blanket please. Do they have those there? Never been to a Costco.
And some large Ziploc bags cause I need to start packing if Grimley's gonna be here soon.

 

[arkansas mom]

Arkie you are still in my thoughts and prayers. I hope the healing process has begun for your family.

Thank you, dear!
It definitely has. By 2:00 yesterday we were all back out at the farm getting ready for a big BBQ. Kids were zipping around on 4 wheelers and the young adults were drinking beer and chasing after their toddlers. Us old adults were drinking tea, wine, diet coke, burbon, and cosmopolitans BSing and trying to out-do each other. It was a genuinely typical get-together at the farm. I just hope they're all still feelin' the love on Monday when they go to open the lock box and see what she's done with her estate. With six kids those things can get sticky!

ok, Grim!!!!

there are three small airports near me... which one would you prefer. I can pack my bags in about 5 minutes, then we can fly around picking up the rest of the Cheeky Chicks!!

I'm SO there!!!!

I'd be glad to haul around all the Cheeky Chicks, just so long as their combined total weight does not exceed 180 pounds and they can all fit in the one spare passenger seat in my 2-seater plane!

I'm afraid my plane is mostly a 1-passenger plane (me being the pilot and passenger), unless the other passenger, who must weigh 180 pounds or less, is hauling 0 pounds in luggage. If I win a lottery I might blow $100,000 or so on a 4-seater plane that can haul lots of people weight and their bags.

Still, though, it's a heck of a lot more fun to fly this way and find out of the way non-towered airports, than to deal with the airlines, TSA, etc. to get anywhere.

Now, as for the "let's all hide in bunkers" comment by Fabs, I'm not sure how to respond. Don't worry: 5:00 Charlie went away with the early M*A*S*H shows. My plane is not equipped with any weapons, except possibly for a very green private pilot, but then I'm really only a weapon to myself.

Time to go watch some football. See you chickies and guys later!

Got them!
I also picked up some cute flannel sheets to match the electric blanket. Gotta keep those tootsies warm.

Are you suggesting that our combined total weight could possibly exceed 180 pounds? Are you calling us FAT?

Grimley you know better than to mention pounds and women in the same
sentence is a no-no


hey all!

 

[fabumouse]

Honestly - what was he thinking???

Hey Muffy!

I've had an eventful day. I accidentally sat in a massive hairball mess that a cat left for me on my desk chair. I'm thinking, why am I all wet?? .

yeeehh.( I don't know how to spell that!!)
that must have been a horrible feeling!

 

[fabumouse]

that must have been a horrible feeling!

Yeah, I really would have preferred my first thought of "spilled water" to have been accurate.

Then I went to Costco. I left my cart at the end of an aisle. I picked up a big heavy container of laundry soap and a slippery set of pasta sauce. I go back to my cart.

My cart is not there.

WTH? Where's my cart?

I return to the soap and look around.

No cart.

I carefully go up a whole bunch of aisles. No cart.

Hmmmmm.

My cart was very full - not likely someone would have taken it on purpose.

And I had opened up a jar of cashews to eat while shopping, so I'm hunting for cashews on top, Diet Pepsi on the bottom.

No luck.


Then I spy a cart with *only* cashews.


Did someone MOVE my cashews? Did someone take everything else out of the cart except the cashews?

Only one way to be sure.

I went to the cart, and start opening up the jar of cashews.

And the owner of the cart came back.

And caught me manhandling his cashews.



I quickly threw the cashews back in his cart, while backing away.

I mumbled something about "I lost my cart . . . "

Like that explained ANYTHING.

And I . .. . ran.

big question- did you eventually find your cart?

 

[fabumouse]

:
big question- did you eventually find your cart?

Yes. Exactly where I LEFT IT. I kept going further back into the store. As soon as I found it up one aisle, I remembered that I had parked it next to the coffee. And when I parked, I had made a mental note to self - parked next to coffee. Fat lot of good it did me

I'm really glad I was picking up some flowers and checking out. I really didn't need to run into that guy again.

The same holds true for the people who were shopping around us, who watched me appear out of nowhere, raid this guy's cart, and scurry away in a panic.

 

[MUFFYCAT]

Fab- can you laugh at it now?
sorry i ran out fast earlier - phone rang and had to pick up DD

 

[fabumouse]

Oh yes, I think it's very funny. My big fear had been that I wouldn't find the cart - and the baby was at home, so I was limited to "time between feedings" to shop.

There was no way I could have repeated the whole shopping experience in under 30 minutes.

I was sooooo relieved to find my cart.

The cashew adventure was just an added bonus.

 

[fabumouse]

Time to see WTH is for dinner.

 

[Jeanny]

we're FINALLY having dinner. Chicken with montreal seasoning and rice. Jacqui has her's with bbq sauce. yum. We usually end up eating about 9 p.m. on Sunday's because of the busy day I have.

 

[fabumouse]

WTH is montreal seasoning?

Why *do* I have to be friends with so many people who cook??

 

[CrazyChik]

early morning rounds are so boring i swear im the only one on the whole boards good morning

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Good Morning to all. We are having a rainy Monday today. I guess it could be worse if it were rainy and cold. It's rainy and hot.


Fab I love your story of loosing your cart. Too funny girls. I must admit I've done it before. Just not the manhandling of the cashews.

 

[MUFFYCAT]

Good Morning all

another Monday
only four more days till Friday.
