Chicks and Roosters...part 2

[MUFFYCAT]

Details please. Is it a surprise trip for the girls are did your husband surprise you as well? I want one of those surprises too.


I almost forgot to say good morning.

I kept hinting on a trip in the winter when I got the 40% off code. With the help of one of my Dis friends that I met on the first trip my family booked the trip without telling me.
All of us are going, even my older DD who doesn't like Disney at all. She said this will without question be her last trip.
I don't know where I went wrong.

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Joanne what a wonderful surprise for you. I think I'll have to stick to being the one to surprise others because I don't see "Grumpy" taking that on by himself.

Congrats on the 35 pounds. You are blowing me out of the water. I lost my focus during the summer months. I'm still exercising but not following Weight Watchers for the last couple of weeks. I'm rejoining when the kids go back to school.

 

[MUFFYCAT]

Thanks Tricia! You'll get focused again once school is back. That's good you're still excercising!
what's helped me is that I'm doing with a few other girls so we push and encourage each other.
With working I have the same routine everyda so that helps me stay on track.

I like the treadmill but now I have to do stomache crunches. And I hate those excercises!

 

[Sthronds]

Happy Wednesday!

It's bunco night here, so I was up late making a dip. I put the spinach in the sink to thaw and drain around 8 o'clock and didn't see it again until 11! Oops. I hope it's good.

Congrats on the surprise trip! That's awesome!

Muffcat -Where do people get a 40% off code? The only thing I ever seem to get are the cheap deals to All Stars if I agree to go, in like the next 14 days. That is great that you are getting a suprise trip - where are you staying?? What are you most looking forward to? I watched this woman today at the gym do literally hundreds of crunches in like 10 minutes. Side crunches, scissor crunches, weird looking bounce crunches that I had never seen. It made my stomach hurt just watching her.

Grim - sorry! I'm not even sure what happened to me, except I think I've been to the store like 18 times this week already, which really sucks up the time. Ugh. When is your 40th?? Any big plans? And that is a hysterical story! I don't think that anything would have worked with this person, as she made it clear at one point that she thought everyone should be just like her.

Tricia - love the photo! I couldn't spell popsicle the other day. I really wanted a "k" thrown in there for good measure.

Susan - that is a relief re the earthquake. The only one I ever noticed as a kid was pretty weird - I was at home alone and it takes awhile to register that it's not just the bass on the stereo being too loud.

Hey everyone. Yes, it looks like I'm blocked again at work. I'm on at home right now, just saying "hi" one last time before I fade back into the non-Dis and non-Disney doldrums.

As for my 40th, Fabs, I have no idea what I will do, if anything. I refuse to lift a finger to plan anything for it. If anything happens, DW needs to plan something, just like I did for her 40th a few years back. My birthday is November 6. As long as my DW and my beauties recognize it, I'll be ok. If you haven't figured it out, my screen name references 2 things about me: 1) I love Ed Grimley. He's my favorite Saturday Night Live character ever. Martin Short is a genius for coming up with him, first on SCTV, then bringing the character to SNL in the 80's. I could never be as handsome as the stud I have in my avatar picture, one Mr. Ed Grimley. 2) I was born in 1968. It was one heck of an eventful year. Riots all over the place, madness in Chicago for the DNC convention, an Apollo trip around the moon, the Tet offensive, the Beatles were at their creative peak with the White album, an earthquake in Kentucky the day I was born (they're not as frequent here as in California obviously), and Richard Milhous Nixon was elected the day before I was born. It wasn't really a very good year (except for the White album and the fact that I began my earthly existence then), but I'm proud to have been born in it.

Susan, I'm glad the earthquake was (relatively) minor, at least compared to Northridge, etc. Let's hope there are no bigger ones for a long, long time.

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Good morning chicks. It's sad that I'm not adding the rooster to it. Grimley I sure did enjoy having you back while it lasted. Hopefully it won't be too long before work makes another mistake and you'll be able to post with us again. It's been fun! Hey, we almost have the same birthday. Mine is a day before yours, November 5th.

We are going to a baseball game tonight. Colin is so excited because it's the closest thing to the Pro's that we have around here. It our local AAA team. We scored some free tickets (which is great) now watch how much I spend on junk there.

 

[MUFFYCAT]

GGood morning all
Tricia, have fun at the game. Sometimes I enjoy the minor league games over the majors! Yes, you probably will spend too much money on junk.

Grimley, sorry they blocked you again. Hopefully you can get someone to unlock the key and let you back in.

 

[Sthronds]

Good morning!

Let's not give up on Grim yet, he'll find a way to buck the system.

Have fun at the baseball game Tricia!

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

I may have to send out the troops in search of Lori. She hasn't checked in since before her Disney trip back on the 4th of July.

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Happy Friday! It's a happy and sad day around here. We love Friday's to get the weekend started. Reality set in that this is the last Friday of summer for us. I should be taking the kids out to do something fun but Kelsie has been helping out at one of the schools for the last couple of days. She needs 20 service hours and she's getting her last four this afternoon.

We had a great time at the baseball game last night. The Zephyr's lost but the food was good.

 

[Sthronds]

I can't believe how early kids are going back to school! I'm sorry your summer is almost over. I'm still waiting for mine to start!

I've been working on invitations for my parents anniversary party all week and I just got them in the mail. What a relief! My plans for the weekend include going to the bookstore, trying to find a dress to wear to a wedding in a couple of weeks and generally spending money. I can't wait! Oh, and I hope to go see the X-Files too.

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Susan I love the "generally spending money" comment. Oh I love to do that too.

Good Morning Chicks.

Kelsie is working this morning so that means she is using my car. I'm not sure I have any big plans for today anyway. It just might mean another lazy day around here.

 

[fabumouse]

And of course, I feel a bit freaked out that we don't have a "back to school day" this year. Reminds me, we need to send the letter taking Kailey out of public school. I wonder if webkinz counts as "educational"?

 

[fabumouse]

Kelsie is working this morning so that means she is using my car.

I am not looking forward to those days....

 

[fabumouse]

Today was the "baby's" second birthday.

 

[MUFFYCAT]

Today was the "baby's" second birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

I still can't believe it's been 2 years already!
Did you do anything for the big day?

 

[MUFFYCAT]

Good Morning evberyone!

Welcome to Monday.
We were busy here . I had my brother and his 2 kids in from Texas for the weekend. Plenty of shopping, eating and going out. It was alot of fun.

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Today was the "baby's" second birthday.

Oh my goodness! Well a very happy belated birthday to her.

Did you have a big party? So what's a two year old into these days?


Joanne it sounds like you have a fun and interesting weekend. When do you leave for Disney?

I have to take Kendall to the Ortho today. One last trip squeezed in before school starts Friday.

Susan how was your weekend?

 

[Sthronds]

Good morning!

Happy Birthday to the "baby"! Where does the time go????

My weekend was busy like usual. I did get to go shopping on Sat and found a dress, it's just a little lower cut than my usual conservative style. I might chicken out about wearing it. Now to find shoes. . .
