[harleygirl]

hey everybody

Dene on the editing! double on the mtn climbing!
I myself am ready for cooler weather so we can hike some this fall!

EEyore - Yikes! for safe trip to dsgf

thanks for the hugs i needed em

been up since about 4 am with things on my mind...trying to sort out everything at once has my brain in overdrive! I should be an emotional basket case by the end of the day!

Dismom mentioned someone taking some kind of sleeping aid that was natural- melan-somtething? anybody got any info on it?

have a skinny day!

 

[MA pigletfan]

Can I ask for some pixie dust and prayers? One of my cats is pretty sick. I take her back in a week.

i love my furbabies..they are family...i am thinking of you.

HAH I REMEMBERED!! LOL I ordered the custom maps from disney.com - - they are so cool!

I love those..we got some from our June trip..cute keepsakes.

A couple random things...

The bird is back. Yes, we are bird sitting for my neighbor...Again. They are bringing their DD to college tomorrow and are coming back on Saturday. Anyone willing to take bets on when they pick their bird up? I've got $10 on Sunday night, after 7.

Bird sitting huh? I have the craziest bird sitting story. My friend was watching a friend of his bird for the day. The bird was squaking and making a fuss so he opened the cage so the bird could fly around the room..well the bird got mad and bit him hard in the hand and his instant reaction was to fliing his hand away really quick..taking the bird with him..the poor bird hit a closet door that was off its hinges and ...well..went to birdy heaven My friend panicked and stuffed the bird back in the cage and called his friend saying that he should come home..his bird looked sick. The friend came home and just figured that the bird died of natural causes, and said " oh look, he looks kind of bruised up..he must have been struggling in his cage ..poor thing!" Long story short, don't fling a bird. I know its sort of a sick story, but really, if you knew what an animal lover my friend is, its pretty ridiculous this happened to him!

hey everybody

yep, it's melatonin. i swear by it when i can't sleep. i can take one and it knocks me out in about 30 minutes and i don't feel all groggy the next morning. you can get a bottle of them for like $5 in the vitamin aisle.

i did a cheat pre-weigh-in today and i'm down 1 pound....let's hope i can hang on to that until tomorrow!!!

Prayers and Pixie dust PLEASE - -

I know we have a list for our prayer chain - please add Leeza, her sister, and father ( my ds 19 girlfriend of 2 years) - they are Russian immagrants, and full American Citizens (she moved here at 8yrs btw)

They went on a road trip ( I so forget what they call it!) but they are in PERU - they are due to come home on the 19th -

Tonight there is a 7.5 rictor scale earthquake near Lima Peru - the capital! I know they were going to climb a mountain ( sounds like Miza Peeshoo - I'll look it up, but just pray!) but apparently Leeza and her sister got sick (they travel a lot - back to Russia etc -she speaks 4 or 5 languages, very intelligent!) I know the earthquake was like 25 miles below surface...

continued prayers for the furbabies - and peep baby!!


(PS Lynda - dh needs to leave here at 6am - dd has a class 10 - 2 and then I can drive the boys down!! yeah, right! ugg!)

Prayers going out for DS's GF!

And prayers for you for getting through that day of driving! I hope DH isn't going too far into WI. That's a lot of driving!

yeah, i saw it. i thought it was good, but honestly i thought the routines would be better. i guess i just expect too much from them now! i've been trying to vote for sabra because i think she's the best all around. i can't get through on the line though.....so that's a good sign! i really don't care who wins, but i hope it's sabra or danny. i LOVE neil, but he wasn't that great tonight. and i love lacy, too, but to me she's not even in the same league as the other 3 as a dancer. just my opinion.

Yeah, I did think the hip hop routine for Neil and Sabra was a little 'eh', and I did like the cha cha better, but still thought it could have been something more. I did LOVE the Viennese waltz and the lindy hop. I also thought the routine that Neil and Danny did was kinda cool. I love Neil too, but don't think he will win. I agree that it wasn't his best night. I think Lacy's area of expertise and style is so different from the others that it makes it odd to compare, but I do love her. Sabra and Danny - they are both great. I agree that I will be happy with whoever wins. I would like to see it be a girl though. Like Nigel said, there hasn't been a girl winner yet. I mostly just can't wait to find out.

They actually did suggest the hospital and said it could be 3-5 days there, but at $150 a day I cant afford it. As it is, todays tests and office visit set me back $300. Gosh, that sounds so horrible and uncaring. But I just dont have the money to do that She said what we are doing is the next best thing, so I am hoping she is right. So far, she is still eating (not much, but some and they gave me some really high fat/calorie food for her that she is eating) and I set up a separate littler box so I can make sure that is Ok too. If she stops eating though I will make sure I get her back in ASAP, no matter what it costs. Oh, and one of the medicines has something to do with potasium too. I am so informed, huh?!

Thanks for all the prayers guys. It has really helped me to feel a little better tonight. Now if I could just get rid of MY crying headache, maybe I could fall asleep.

I totally understand about the $$ thing. Vet care adds up fast and when it's all OOP, sometimes you have to make the best choices with the limitations you have. The max cal and a/d are both good foods, just make sure she eats and drinks. Medical terms and treatments can be confusing. The only reason I know so much is from experience.

DO~ Sorry to hear about your dog. It is teh hardest decision to make.

Harley~ Hang in there. As Sandy likes to say; when you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on! Vent here all you want, we all need a safe place to let it out.

Sandy~Your dsgf and family will be in my prayers. It is so scary when you personally know people who are affected by these disasters. My DSis is in Hawai'i all by herself with my neice and nephew and they were being threatened by a hurricaine (well, typhoon actually since it's in the Pacific) and I called to check on her the ohter day. I got up yesterday to read that a 5.4 magnitude quake hit close to the islands as well. I haven't heard back from her so I'm praying they are all ok.

Lynda~ I am hoping we can meet before May! It would be so nice to meet you in person.

Warm fuzzies going out to every one who's back in school. Have a great year! And don't forget to slow down in school zones!

That is and . My neighbor did tell us that we could let him out to fly for a bit if we wanted....uhh, I don't think so. Phoebe would gobble him down in a second. Or at least chase him around and make it impossible to catch again. She said once, her DD had the bird out flying around the house when it almost flew into a fan (that was on!) so she just swiped at it to keep it from flying into it ,and the poor bird crashed right into the wall. Poor thing. I guess better the wall, then the fan...but not for your friend.

 

[If U Had Wings]

Many good warm happy thoughts are going out to everyone who going through something right now. I'm hoping everything turns out well for all of you!

I never did get to go out for my walk on the beach last night. I got a call at work from my mother (from the beach - lovely when your stuck at work) telling me my nieces were over. One of them got on the phone then and asked for me to come visit. I'm easy when it comes to them so I went to visit them for an hour or so. I got home at about 8.30 and it was already getting dark. (So depressing!!!) I headed out for a walk, and decieded to go my longer route out of my condo complex. That ended up being a questionable decision as it got really dark awfully fast. I'll walk through my condo complex late at night without worrying too much, but I it just doesn't feel as safe outside of it. At least in the complex the units are close to the sidewalks. Out in the rest of the neighborhood the houses are more set back. Next time I'll stick to the neighborhood!

I feel great though that I've taken a walk everynight this week. I don't know why, but I've been very hungry all week. I've been having super cravings for something sweet and baked. I'm doing my best to ignore it, as Saturday is my town's annual festival and I plan on allowing for a few off-plan things - just in small quantities.

Chiming to Melatonin - its a natural thing, dh researched it years ago and we've kept it in the cupboard ever since!! Its esp helpful for those trans continental flights that mess with your system -

Bird story My dad got an African Grey - my dad never did housework - NEVER... then he retired declared he always always wanted this bird... and to see my dad with this bird!! IT got extremely annoying when he first got the bird, I couldnt talk to my mom or dad w/o talking to Buddy first!! (birds name "My name is Bud WIS er but you can call me Buddy") I'm telling you its the craziest thing. From time to time I have to babysit buddy (we live far so its only been twice) and the bird has bonded with my father - not my mother, but apparently the bird accepts mom as part of the "flock" You have to let Buddy out of the cage to feed him - and when at my parents, Buddy likes to eat off dad's plate!! He only "tests" when he bites - tests to see if it bothers you!!!

Gayle BEST WISHES!! I'll be there before I'm ready!! Dont forget duct tape, scissors , needle and thread!! BE Prepared!!

Harley we've got you - just hold on!!

Wings Good for you!! Life happens!!

I hope it counts that I walked in 2 circles for 30 min at the mall before shopping yesterday, the rain never stopped!!

Today - MUST do laundry - the laundry monster has totally taken over every room!! Heading to the laundramat as soon as dh gets off the phone!!

DH has a ride to WI if someone can drive him 30 min west of here tonight!! and its BIG BROTHER night... so I know who I'm hoping does the driving

(PS According to Live Feeds I'm not going to like who goes tonight!! ) Cant wait to see those visitors tho!!

OH DEAR..i can't even imagine that bird meeting the fan. I am glad that bird situation ended on a much better note than my friends... This is why i like "land animals"..i imagine it would be tough to leash a bird!

Eeyore---That sounds like my Dad and my dog. He never liked animals, wanted them or anything, he retired, all of a sudden loves the family cat and when my dog comes to visit him he just eats it up. I hope to become a "dr doolittle" when i retire someday

Will you actually get a masters credit? I just happened to click on a random page and saw this.

It will go on my certificate as a Masters in Economics, but I will not get extra pay for it. Today they sent out an e-mail stating that we could either get the 5 Cont. Ed. Credits or credit for a Masters Class--which I need as many as I can get since I lost 18 hours worth of credit---I know my own fault and a lot of wasted money. I was planning on going back to school this Fall until Rebekah--oh well there is always later.

That was kind of funny---sounds like soething that would happen to me.



Hope that everyone is having a great day---DENE that was cool that NASA asked you to proof something.

Hey Peeps,

I'm looking for your thoughts on something that is Disney and boy related. I mentioned awhile ago that I really need an Epcot fix. And I still do, but my schedule is just all over the place so the only time I can really go is if I left on a Saturday and came back on Sunday since I have work now. Then I got this huge brochure in the mail for the Food and Wine Festival and decided that I really wanted to go to that. So I've been thinking about trying to squeeze a weekend trip in somewhere once I get settled with work and school this upcoming semester.

Then I thought about asking the boy to come with me. He likes Epcot and he likes to try new foods (and sometimes drinks) - best of both worlds right? Now even though I still have romantic feelings for him, I'm not inviting him with those intentions because he seems pretty set in his thinking that a serious relationship isn't the best idea right now (even though I feel safe in saying he has some romantic feelings for me as well). But I don't want him to get freaked out with me asking him to "go away for the weekend". I wanted to bring it up kinda soon so he could think about it and I could book a hotel if necessary since August is almost over...Think I should ask him?

 

[eeyore45]

MonyMony I got to talk to Monica!! and the baby was making cute newborn noises!! So precious!! Monica says Hi - and she'll try and get on - but I told her to rest, and heal!!

Shannon That is so out of my league!! I guess you'd have to bring it up to him, exp the brochure!! I know you have AP's but isnt a one day ticket to WDW like $73 now?

Pigget You better not be hitting the "negative self talk" Just know, everything happens for a reason - we may not like the reason - but you are having a miracle, so look FORWARD - not back, take what comes!!! (and yes, coming from me, I know its easier said than done!!)

I know I'll bring it up...just have to find the right time. Don't want it to be too out of the blue. Maybe I'll say I just got the brochure and I really want to go some weekend...does he want to come? That could work. And yes I have AP's. One day tickets are ridiculous now, but I don't think he'd have a problem buying one. Money is not his issue. I think he could get some kind of Fl. Res discount too which could save him a couple bucks. Thats the least of my worries right now though...I just want to ask him and have him say yes.

Just had a slight panic moment. I went to go submit my 2nd take home exam that is due tonight...and my internet was down. Luckily it came back within 10 minutes. Whew!

No negative here. I actually lost the hours a couple of years ago---I was in an accident and could not finish a class. THen whenever I would go to take classes they would not make---basically the University only wanted teachers in the summer and there was no way I was going to do that many classes in 2 summers only. By the time I realized what was going on I only had 2 summers left and still had over halfof my course work left. My plan was to start at another College here in town that is on quarters and see if they would honor any of the other classes. With DH work schedule and the new baby there was no way to start this FALL. I would rather have a baby than classes anyday.

Zigzagrr Is today THE day????

Nope, not quite. It's tomorrow, though!

I've been really busy at work today, trying to clear the decks so I can get out of here!!!

I'm going to try to get back online once I get back from aerobics tonight.

Have a great evening, peeps!
