Hi, all. Found you! Today is our 13th wedding anniversary. We spent it working, gymnastics, and then the Cub Scout Banquet where the boys earned their Tiger badges. Very romantic! We are going out to lunch tomorrow after my eye exam and hair cut. Hope everyone is well! Sending hugs, PD, congrats... whatever you need!
 
Best place to buy tickets for John and the kids? I'm getting an AP, so I need 8 day base tickets for them.
 
Hi all,
it is waaay past my bedtime, just wanted to drop in and say good night.
 
Today was another day at the office. Several co-workers have been out, one had back surgery today, another is on a cruise, another's Mom died several have been sick. So many people have been out of the office, plus our phones and internet was out yesterday. Tomorrow we were supposed to have a membership meeting at one of the camps, but they canceled it because we have an all staff meeting on Thursday.

I am already in bed doing some last minute surfing before I shut off and try to sleep.

Night all!
 

I have a packet of Au Jus that I want to use to make beef sandwiches with. Do I just add this to a roast while it is cooking?

Any suggestions?

Janet-I do put half a packet to a full packet in for seasoning and then the rest to make the au jus for dipping. Everybody loves it!!
 
I need to vent! First of all: THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOL'S JOKE!

My mother in law has decided to get married......AGAIN! This will be husband number 6. She met him online, last month. They've chatted online, and this weekend she went to meet him. After 20 minutes together he proposed and she accepted. Normally, I would not let this bother me, but this is how she met her last 4 husbands, and they never worked out. She divorces them after about a year at most. There was one that only lasted 9 weeks!!! I know that it's her life, and I shouldn't really care, but she drags my kids into it. She makes them call these men "grandpa," but doesn't explain anything when all of a sudden they're not there anymore. I just can't put them through that again.

I told Alan that if she goes through with this, then we will not be seeing her again, until she has proven that this one will last longer than a year. I feel badly about that, but Alan agrees with me, that it's not good for the kids. In reality, it's not good for her, either. Her therapists have told her not to get involved in any relationships at this point. She just doesn't get it. She's positive that no matter what, her children will bail her out like they always do.

Thanks for listening! Just had to get it off my chest before I explode in front of the kids!

Wow...that is not good at all. There is no way that she knows enough about this man to make an informed decision. That is pretty scary he could be an axe murderer or child molestor for all she knows. Do keep your kids far far away. If she is hellbent on ruining her life don't let her take you down with her. Didn't she just leave her last husband?

Hi Debbie & Becky & goodnight :)

Thank you Theresa, I will buy another packet of Au Jus :thumbsup2
 
You people are making me hungry with your talks of roast beef sandwiches.

It is so windy here and there is a possibility of thunderstorms. At least it is not snowing.
 
We have fog here that is so thick you can only see about 20 feet in front of you when driving :eek: The yellow line was about the only thing that kept me on the road on my way home from work tonight. There was also lightning. Very very strange weather.
 
Happy Anniversary to you Denise and John!!
 
Glynis - What a mess! I wish there was a chance she'd come to her senses, but I fear that isn't the case. I think that you and Alan are really making the best decision for your family. :grouphug:

Denise - Happy Anniversary!!!!
 
Tia-see I told you yesterday was practice:rotfl:

I wish we got to see more games...I hate listening to them on the radio:headache:
 
Happy Anniversary to you Denise and John!!

Denise, enjoy your lunch today! :)

My mom goes to the oncologist today at 3:15.

I am supposed to go to dinner tonight with the nannies. One of our friends is in town from Seattle - I haven't seen her in years. I haven't packed a thing for this weekend. Maybe I will pop home today while Princess is at school and work on getting packed.

Good thoughts for your mom's appointment, Elizabeth.

You have a full load tonight! I hope you can work it out to get all of it done.

Thanks, Elizabeth. I am praying hard for you and your mom. :hug:
 
i tried to test yall with the puppy pictures and no one got it. shame shame shame. if you want the answer go back and look at the pictures and take a guess.


I SO BAD.
They are all so cute, but I'm guessing you picked Tally? :love:

Thank you all for the comments on the bathroom!
It looks great!!!

I went back and took another look, does it mean that Tally is your new puppy?
Debbie, I hope you are feeling better.

Well our internet was totally out most of the day. Also our phones were not working properly. Both are connected as we have VoIP phones. Let's just say not much got accomplished today. Then again most people were not in the office either so, I do not think it really mattered.

I went to a Pampered Chef party tonight.

Sending prayers, to all of you

I am off to bed. Good night everyone.
Hope they get everything fixed at work and you enjoyed the party.

Well, I just finished dinner. It was a strange night.

During my final private lesson at 8:30, my HS student kept looking over my shoulder out the windows toward his Mom's car. I finally asked what was going on and he said he was a little worried about his Mom since that guy had been talking to her for about 15 minutes. I suggested that he call her on his cell phone and see if she was OK. She did not answer. So I called her and also received no answer. They guy was acting very oddly but finally left and then the Mom moved her car. I locked Nick in the studio to see if she was OK. Turns out she was calling 911! This guy, who lives over one of the cafe's downtown was planning to commit suicide. I went back into the studio and got Nick and sent him home with his Mom. I figured they had her cell phone number if they needed to contact her again. After 15 minutes of waiting for anyone at all to come, I decided to come on home. There was no one else around and I was concerned for my own welfare. I am hoping someone came and helped this poor man.
Wow, that is scary. Glad you all were ok!

When I walked in the house tonight, Kristin called. She had been fitted for her cap and gown and hood and was ordering her graduation announcements. Now, I know that I have been very proud of both my daughters' academic accomplishments, but sometimes I wonder about their common sense. She will follow in her sister's footsteps and graduate Magna Cum Laude. But she didn't think it was important enough to put on the announcements. Luckily she had not hit the "SUBMIT" button to place her order! They will now say:

The Board of Visitors,
the President and the Faculty
of
Virginia Commonwealth University
announce
Kristin Marie H*
is a candidate for the degree of
Bachelor of Fine Arts
in
Theatre Performance, Magna Cum Laude
at the Commencement Exercises

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!!!! :cool1: That is just amazing. You have every right to be very proud.

by jove...I think Jim finally gets it...I got in the car and explained what happened at work today and Jim went "Wow, you are being disrespected there." Up until today he had rose colored glasses on and somehow made me feel like I was overreacting.
I'm glad he's being supportive! :thumbsup2

The storms in the area missed us last night, but got close enough that both soccer practices were called, but not Andrew's baseball practice. Tonight is opening season for rec ball, and Andrew has a game if it wasn't rained out from the rain we received over the night. Jake's first game isn't until Friday night.

I'm hoping our a/c gets fixed today. Have a great day everyone!
Good luck on the games, and I hope the AC if fixed ASAP!

Happy April Fools Day to the citizens of the Upper Peninsula! I think it may have finally stopped snowing. However, it was snowing just an hour ago.

:scared1: I wouldn't know what to do with weather like that. We freak with 1".

I managed to get Hunter's room together yesterday. It took me the better part of the day and I was nearly late for work. Lots of little touch up and finishing things that took longer than I expected. I still need to paint his door and closet doors, but I bought a paint gun and don't want to load it until I have all the doors ready to paint. Hopefully later this week. Right now none of us have doors on our rooms.

If I get a chance later I will post some pictures, but I need to get ready to bring Colby to school. I am doing laundry today and will grocery shop while Colby is at school since we have NO food in the house.

My next goal is to have Nick's room (which I haven't started yet) completed by next Monday night. Sounds easy except we are out of town for the State Bowling tournament this weekend.
Deb, you make me so tired reading your posts. You are a real life HGTV!

I received my Disney documents today
:cool1:

I decided to pick the kids up myself today as that secretary (or whoever she was) had really angered me. I spoke to one of the other Mom's when I got there and she said that the message did say that it was a knife, not good, but much better than a gun. When Hunter came out I asked him about the bus incident and he gave me a clueless look. Then I said the kid with a knife and he knew what I was taking about, but obviously wasn't concerned. He said that a first grader had brought an army knife and was showing it off. Apparently he wasn't threatening anyone, just a show and tell type of thing. Someone told the bus driver and he pulled over and took the knife. The kids did say that he stabbed the back of the seat in front of him several times and there were kids in the seat, but he wasnt' trying to stab throught the seat I ended up walking in and talking to the principal about how my phone call had left me with questions and a very poor response about future protection. He was very nice and assured me that the lady on the phone would be spoken to and given some better phone skills. I feel much better now.
I'm glad everyone was ok, and I hope they take measures to prevent it from happening again.

for those who have done it....is the pirate and princess party really worth doing?

remember kids are 13, 10, 9

a brief summary would be appreciated as well
Marci, Marti, and I had a great time!

Yikes! :scared1: Sending you a big hug! :hug:
 
Well, that was one big post! Thanks for all the anniersary wishes. It was our 13th. I'm off to the eye doctor to get new contacts, then haircut, lunch with John, pick up kids, yearly termite bond inspection, then choir tonight. Have a great day!


Oh, and I have 2 adult park hopper tickets with 1 day left on them that I can sell on Ebay from 1986. Would you try to sell them now (and have to explain everything, how to exchange, etc) or exchange them myself in 3 weeks and then just sell the 1 day hoppers?
