Hi all! Feeling a little better today, so when I get a chance I am going to catch up on all that has been going on. Just in the mean time, stopping by to say hi :)
 
Morning! We had fun last night. We went to Olive Garden and then took a ride to Foxwoods. We didn't bring home a jackpot but we enjoyed ourselves. Gotta go get the kids from grandma's house soon for EB's game.

Carol - kudos for creativity.....band parents are the best. You've come up with a way so the kids don't miss out and that's wonderful. I can understand what you say about the band director, I have several friends who do that complex job and it's a lot to get used to. However, IMHO, if he was a band kid....which I'm sure he was....he should remember how important these things are to the students...AND how hard kids and parents will work to get what they want.

I'm glad your friend is working on another way to get a diagnosis Lars. Continuing good thoughts for her.

Sorry about the job news Marsha....the right one is still out there waiting for you.

Hi to everyone!!! :wave: Hope you have a great day.
 
Oh boy... lots to catch up on. Sorry I missed so much!!! I'll try to touch on a few things.

Happy belated DISiversary Sandi!!! That's great you've been here for 3 yeas now!

Happy Anniversary Gail!!!!! I hope you and Lew enjoy the day :)

Carol, I am so sorry you had so much trouble with the band thing. That is such a shame!

You know, I can't believe I was sick for Talk like a Pirate Day :( What a shame!!! Maybe I ought to seek out a theater that is showing the movie to make up for it ;)

Lars, my continued prayers are with your friend. I am so sorry she is dealing with so much {{hugs}} to you both.

Marsha, sorry about the job. I wish you all the luck on the next one!

Hi to everyone I missed... I always feel bad when I can't check in.

I still feel a little cruddy today, but not so beat as yesterday. I might head out for a while just to get out of here. And so far, no call from work, but since I was off yesterday they might not call no matter what. I did talk to a good friend and it seems our Baltimore site was flooded and running the risk of losing power. Everything was running and they hope that it all works out well. Either I'll get a call or find out on Monday what the status is.
 
Hi. Sorry Marsha's job didn't work out. I bet something even better is around the corner. Personally, I thought it might not be the one for you. I think you'd probably like something closer to home and with a little more challenge.

Glad Elaine is feeling better.

Olive Garden sounds yummy. Glad you guys had a good time.

I enjoyed the dancing smarty pants. DD and I laughed. Too cute.

DH is off to the stadium. I'm pulling DD and I together. We need to head out around 12:30. Just realized that I don't know how to program the vcr for DS. Guess I'll have to take the tape to my mother and have her tape it for him.

Hey crock pot users. . . if I put some boneless, frozen chicken breasts in my crockpot with BBQ sauce, will they thaw and cook by tonight?
 

More update... The band director has been heard from. He had no electric so his phone wasn't ringing and he didn't know people were calling him. He can not go as our director because the county said we can't go, so he and his wife are going and buying tickets and meeting us there. At least the kids who really want to go are getting to go, and I am the chaperone. (Is anyone surprised by that?) It is a beautiful day for a football game.

Still no cable. See you all tomorrow.
 
E! glad you feel better, I hate hate hate those allergy type things. I used to hate when it rained, in the spring everything opened up after and released pollen, in the fall, it just makes mold. At least out here, I have less of it to deal with, so far I have avoided shots, but I did 2 a week year round in VA and GA, I am allergic to all trees, all grasses, all weeds, cats, dust mites, dust, and what ever else comes my way, even dogs, I tolerate my 2 but other dogsa, I have to keep away from. I guess I haven't become allergic to cacti (yet!)

Merry, I think the job would have been OK, but my "busy" and the desciption of thier "Busy" were a lot different. But I am more than happy to do what ever, if they think it's busy, who am I to tell them different? And the distance of 20 miles is really fine, too. It's all one huge city area anyway, lots of freeways and surface streets, so that doesn't bother me. I was just a little put out because they had been talking with someone else already, and had decided to hire her before they even talked to me. We used to have to say "Pre Identified Candidate" in our job ads, if we already knew who we were putting in an open posisiton. If the recruiter had told me that, I wouldn't have bothered to interview, because they only said "We went with the person we have been talking to already", no feedback as to my qualifications, inteview skills, etc. But I am not worrying about it, I told them I would rather temp for a while anyway, so they have put me into the temp pool. THat way I can make spending money and have time off to spend it (WDW? Vacation with DH?) Hope the weather holds for the game. Can't help with the crock pot, don't have one, never have!

Carol, wouldn't it have been nice if the director opened the doors so the kids could get the music and uniforms? Oh well, they will have fun anyhow.

Gail, I forgot to say Happy Anniversary, I hope you have many more happy times together.

Sandi, Disversary, how nice. I can't even remember when I first joined because I deleted the answer back email, and had to start over again, biut I forgot about it for at least a year. Many more years to you too.

What else???? CS
:wave: Hope you are having a nice weekend and that school isn't too tiresome.

I am going to the fabric store in a bit to get more fabric for the bedspread, I don't like how I did it, I need to add 2 more rows of velvet to balance it out. Then it will be done, so I need to decide what to stuff it with, or at least how thick to make it. And I need bubble wrap to pack up the last of the Mickeys, and the desplay mirror they are on, and then hopefully we can decide on apint and get working on that.

Have a great weekends all of you, stay safe, hug the kids, cats, dogs, husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, family memebers. Take a walk, enjoy your surroundings. See you Monday!
 
What a waste of your time, Marsha, if they'd already made up their mind. Hmmm. I don't blame you for being upset. I still think something better is around the corner.

I changed my mind about the chicken. I put some frozen brisket that I had cooked a couple of weeks ago in with the BBQ sauce. Since it's already cooked, I know it will thaw and be ready tonight when we get home.

Great news about the game, Carol. Too bad they still can't at least get their instruments and music.
 
Merry, I hope you enjoy your day! I hope that your dinner comes out good... sounds very good to me!!!!

Carol, I hope you get your cable soon!!! I hate when I go without! Glad to know they all got it worked out with the band thing.

Marsha, yep allergy things that feel like this totally stink!!! I know what you mean about other animals setting you off but not your dogs. The same is true with my cats. A friend who is highly allergic to cats said her doctor has noticed that most people develop tolerance to animals when they live with them. I am glad I am not doing the shot thing... I'd shoot myself. And I would be upset too about that job... I hate when they ask for people to come in when they have no intention of hiring that person because they know who they really want.
 
Afternoon Everyone!:D

Beautiful, sunny day here!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY GAIL!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LK'S DH LENNY!

Carol - glad to see you made something nice come out of your story. Hope everyone has a great time.

MP - couldn't have helped you w/ the crock pot question, and I see you figured something out. enjoy!

Lars - glad to see your friend is back home. will keep her in my thoughts.

Marsha - that sucks about the interview. something better is out there for you.

E - i was watching the news yesterday, and it did look like Baltimore got a ton of rain. glad to hear you didn't get any calls.

CS - :wave:
 
Afternoon Everyone, we had gorgeous weather today for soccer, now it's looking like thunderstorms.....oh well, at least we got the games in..



will finish update after I put sleeping 3 yo down :)
 
All right, who messed with my CD burner? I was going to burn a few copies of The Lion King soundtrack (yikes, is that illegal now??:o ) and I can't get it to work. It keeps telling me to reinstall the program. When I try to reinstall it, it says it can't find a file it needs. I'm so confused....

We are going to the Pirate game tonight. Looks like it might be a little chilly later, so jeans and jackets for us.

Talk to you later. I hope Melissa is having fun in Romania!
 
Hello!
I'm house/dog sitting this weekend in Fox Chapel. I tried to log on and catch up on the DIS. Using their dial up, I waited 5 minutes for the page to load and gave up. It really makes me appreciate my cable modem. Sorry Carol, don't mean to rub salt in the wound!

E, glad you're feeling better!

Happy Anniversary Gail and Lew!!

Happy Birthday Lenny!

Lars, will continue to pray for your friend and I hope it's nothing too serious.

Marsha, Sorry about the job. I'm hoping a better one comes along for you.

Lk, Enjoy the game tonight! It's a gorgeous day for it!

Merry, Beef brisket sounds yummy!!

Hi CS!:wave:
Hi Steph!
Hi Diane!
Hi Gina!(wherever you are!)

I'm headed back out to Fox Chapel for the night. Have a great weekend everyone!
 
Oh dear... I missed it earlier. Happy Birthday to Lenny!!!!!

Lorraine, from what I heard many of the areas in Baltimore and around the Patomic were badly flooded. So far no call so I guess I will be safe for the rest of the weekend. Enjoy your beautiful & sunny day!

Steph, glad that the rain held until after the games. How did they go?

Gail, good luck with the CD burner... that is odd. And have fun tonight!

Sandi, I hate the times when I am on dial up as well... it does make me appreciate cable more (sorry Carol... hope yours is fixed very soon!)

I think I am off to take a nap before I make some Ghiradelli brownies :)
 
okay, now I'm back, let me catch up:


Gail...hope your laundry turns out nice! :o

Happy Birthday Len...didn't see the post, but all these angels can't be wrong.

Marsha.... you were too good for that job anyways

MP...I couldnt' live without my crockpot.....it's a lifesaver!

Lars....((((((hugs)))))) for you and Rhonda.....you know where to find me if you need anything....even just a sympathic ear

E! Hope your allergies arent' giving you problems tonight!

Carol, hope the whole band thing works out....you really went the distance to pull it off for your kids.....atta girl!

Happy belated DiSanniversaries to E and Sandi!

LK..thank you so much for the cool patch that arrived in my mail today!!

SB...where you hiding??

anything else?

:wave: CS, Alan, Kimmar, and those elusive men........

Oh yeah.....guess what I did last night??? FINALLY bought my tickets for WDW....$145 RT..with a non-stop on the flight down, and a red-eye back!!!!!! I was SOOOOOO thrilled to get such a great airfare. I really thought I waited too long, but the magic seems to be working for me!!!! AND I have enough FF credits with SWA to have earned a free ticket (did someone mention December????? :jester:)

Family movie night tonight....Emporers New Groove, but i really can't get into it. I'll try another bodice ripping mini novel...


Oh yea, we won today 7-0..our kids just steamrolled the other team......
 
Velvet Goldmine and Two Towers for me.Bring on Ewan,Orlando and Christian(plus Spike with the Buffy repeat) :)
 
Oooh Goodie, Steph said she is going to WDW in December!!!! Very cool :p

I watched Emperor's New Groove twice tonight... now I am probably just going to play for a while and listen to a few CDs :)
 
Good Evening!!!
I have another update on my friend....She got some cortizone shots at the doctor yesterday & is on a steriod now & she hasn't had pain since...the doctor says this is an indicator that she has Lupus. She sees her rheumatologist this week but they are now pretty sure that Lupus is the correct diagnosis.

Now for a catch-up....
Merry-I am a crock pot fan too! and I think that the chicken would have defrosted & cooked for you. I toss stuff in there frozen all the time & it always turns out yummy!

Marsha-Another even better opportunity will be just around the corner! I promise!! {{{hugs}}}

Carol-How was the game????

Elaine-Did you say Ghiardelli Brownies???:tongue: Yum!!!

Sandi-It's so nice of you to dog/house sit!

LK-Make sure you pass along my best birthday wishes to Lenny!

Steph-Great news about the airfare!!! Woo-Hoo....I LOVE a great deal!


:wave: CS, SB & all the other Angels & those MIA MWLT
