[Jrsy Boy]

Just out of curiousity, where in Nebraska are you moving? Eastern? Western? And what kind of job gives you a promotion that takes you from Florida to Nebraska?

Remember, its not the end of the world and, if nothing else, you are closer to me, Heidi, Sandy and Cristi...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

WOW!!!!! I feel so special you guys!!! Thanks for all the welcomes. This is pretty cool, I have to say!! I'm sorry but I don't have a lot of time to chat...I'm try to get my mom into gear so I can treat her to sushi. But I will jump back on when we get back. And yes, mom I am ready for another vacation!!!

 

[cristit14]

I got an email from the Nebraska Park & Game Commission this morning...do you want me to forward it to you so you can find out about fishing & hunting licenses?


Yup...even my underwear. They were that color when I bought them, BTW.

You are too funny!!!

 

[Jsme]

How and when and where do I send Cosmo.... before he ends up in NEBRASKA!!!!

To me... do you have my address? If not I will email you this later today.

 

[dreamakermom]

Got your address Selena... I just want to put something special in there and like I said.... I have PLENTY of packing supplies!!!

Jrsy... COULD you forward that hunting email? Were you serious? We WILL have land and my kids will prbably want to learn how to hunt.... we also will definately be doing fishing also. If you were joking or deleted it, that is fine too. Also, Lincoln... Eastern Ne He did not get a promotion... he got a job manageing a storage facilty he used to work at. It is more money and only one store as opposed to he ismanageing 5 stores here and less money... remember he is also a plowboy and goes home to Ne to plow twice a year. I am bringing my turtles (all 5) with me and I WOULD bring the squirrels.... but I know I have to leave them here.... they will unfortunately going to get thin again b/c noone here will feed them as well as I do.
Going for sushi.... thanks Amber!!

PM me your email address and I will forward it to you. I go up to the panhandle every November to shoot in the general direction of pheasant, so I am on the Parks & Game email list.

Happy St Pattys Day

NOTE: Please help me to remind Karen to mial Cosmo on Monday.

 

[dreamakermom]

Jrsy... I figured it out!!!! (Amber showed me ) I got here through the Disboard Homepage.

OK guys!!! I had another disboard friend from our cruise put pics on the February 25, 2006 Western Magic Cruisers thread b/c they were all doing it and I have not gotten smart yet. SO... there are about 4 or 5 nice, colorful, clear pics of my children and me and Valencia, my grandaughter. Also, you can see Amber. She is the blonde with the braids when I am on the hammock with 3 out of 4 of my children.

I am a little hung over today as last night I got to be with the in laws and go out for dinner with them. They LOVE Nebraska, so since it was 3 against me... I felt the urge to drink . Easily gave into the temptation

So guys... I hope you all have a great day as I will. I feel much better now and am adjusting to the thought of change... as I will be one state over from most of you Funky Monkeys and THAT excites me!!! I can be a Colorado stalker! And Amber can be my assistant!!
Thanks for all your great support and my attitude will be better as the days pass. You guys are great! Love ya! Karen

 

[ImMarcik]

Karen & Amber, the pictures are awesome!!! Amber looks like you Karen. It looks like you were having sooo much fun.

I am watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition. They are doing a house in Florida that was hit by Wilma. I am pretty sure the one they are doing from here is April 13th.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Good Monday morning everyone.

Wow I had a great weekend. MacKenzie went to Choir Camp Friday night and Erik went to my IL's house until Sunday monring. Jeff and I had a nice time without having to hear the kids fight! LOL I had a major headache but even that did not keep me down!

Jeff bought a new black suit for Red dress night on the Enchantment. Yeah I know you want to know what does him having a black suit have to do with Red Dress night, right? LOL Barb, Janet, AnnMaire and I will all be wearing a Red Dress on the formal night of the cruise. This was started by another person we cruise with. If our DH's want to do this they wear a black suit and either a red dress shirt with a black tie (this is what Jeff is doing) or a white shirt with a red tie or a black shirt with a red tie. LOL Can you imagine all of us on the Freedom? There's like 25 women that will be in Red on formal night. Even MacKenzie will be wearing red.

We also went to Kohl's. That was an expense trip!

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Karen here is the reminder

PLEASE SEND COSMO.

Does anyone know of some good sites to go to for mini sized/ travel size stuff?

Hi guys. Long, busy weekend. It was supose to snow 10-12 inches here last night, but we got maybe 2 inches and continueing on through today!!!!

I didn't chicken out and I did get my haircut on Friday. It is amazing how much lighter my head feels!!!!! My best friend made an Irish dinner for me, her mom, and her husband on Friday. It was very good, I have never had corned beef and cabbage until then. We all played games, had a great night and had many many laughs.

Saturday we went to a M.O.M.S. (Mother Of Multiples Sale) down in Castle Rock. It was fun, it is like a big garage sale that fills an event center and only baby and little kids items!!! We bought a lot for the twins. Too bad we had to wait 2 hours to pay for the loads of stuff we had....but it is such a good deal!!!!!! Then we had to come home and help my uncle, aunt and cousins move.

Sunday started out good but ended sour. I got a call from my best friend saying that her husband asked her for a divorce. Not only did her husband convince her to quit her job on Friday, but has now asked her for a divorce. They have a 2 year old and have been married for 8 years. I just don't know what to do for her. She is in shock and I don't think it has really hit her yet. I am so worried about her because she is 5'6" and weighs under 100 lbs. This is only going to make her weight problem worse. She does not have an eating disorder, she just can't gain weight since she moved to Florida and got really sick there. The doctors have tried everything to get her to gain weight. Any ideas what I can do for her, besides just being there for her? Can I do anything else for her or get her something to help her out?

Oh Heidi your poor friend. Men can be jerks!!

I want to make sure I read this correctly. This man asked his wife to quit her job and she did this already on Friday? Then he tells her he wants a divorce on the same day she quit her job?

She is way too thin. You know what I was told when I was under 100 was to eat breakfast and drink those breakfast shakes during the day.

Oh my heart just hurts for her! And you. You can only be there for her. Not sure what else theres to do at this time.

He has to have some problems. He should go to marriage therapy. This might help. Oh but how could she ever trust him again?

 

[Jsme]

I forgot to add earlier

I invited one of my friends to the thread. She is already a Diser. Her name is Vickie and I think she will fit in great!!! Please come by Vickie and pull up a chair and stay a while. We really are a big family who loves one another.

Hello, hello, hello, from sunny Colorado. NOT!! Started snowing last night and it is still snowing. Accumulation shouldn't be too bad however. Just the fact that DH, Ted, is at work and now the shoveling is up to me. Poor me!

Karen, I have driven through Neb several times. I am a So Dak native (Sioux Falls) and used to go often before my dad retired. We would stay overnight in Kearney. Do you know how far of a drive Lincoln is from the Denver area?

I really need to get off this computer and accomplish some things around the house. I will check back later.

Sounds like Cosmo is getting mailed today.

By the way Selena, I had the stomach flu last weekend and it took a long time to get back to normal. Sorry to hear about Mac!

 

[dreamakermom]

Hi guys!!! I am like Cleopatra... Queen of Denial... and just do not want to do anything except look at my computer as if live will all work out without me moving out of my chair!!!
But seriously, I actually AM excited about seeing more of a season change.I think the things I am going to miss the most is my small but beautiful backyard that always have a tono f huge and beautiful butterflies, and the squirrels here (I feed them Nebraska corn right out of my hands... DH would always bring corn back from his farm for the squirrels). They were scrawny when I got here but now they are fat. They come from all the way down the street to see me in the morning. I know it is stupid, but I am sad b/c no one will feed them after I leave... then they will get thi again.
The Hibiscus and Jasmine and Desert Rose flowers I will miss.... it's those things. But... already am thinking about the pumpkin Farm outside of Omaha, and sleighridiing and fishing in the lake at his parents. I am going to take up paintballing too maybe so I can do that with the kids since there is plenty opf land.
Well, DH is home and I better get him lunch.
Oh, Sandy... remember I used to live in Longmont. It is about an 8 hour drive tops. But it is the LONGEST drive ever... very, very boring to go from Lincoln to Denver. But I would do it to see all of you guys. Also, I have a sister in law (ex) in Ft Collins that I am family with and a TERRIBLE wicked witch of a step mother in Longmont, that I need to kiss up on so I can get some of my grandothers and dads things if she ever decides to share.... that's another story for next year.
After feeding DH it is off to the PO I go... heigh ho..... so no worries with Cosmo. Bye guys!

Sounds like you will be just fine Karen At least you are looking at the positives in Nebraska to look forward to.

My Hawaiian dress came in today. I went home at lunch and tried it on. It's just a teenie bit too small where it kinda gathers in the back. But the front fits good. So I'm sure I can still wear it. The straps are too big though so I know they will fall down. I will try it on for my friends.

Heidi, that made me so sad, what your best friend's DH did to her. Just be there for her. Things will work out one way or another. That really stinks that he told her to quit her job like that. I wish I had more adivce to give. I would be devastated.
