FREAP CHAT Part 2 ~ Everyone Welcome to our new digs

[mtblujeans]

Kellie- I found my voice activated (or in this case- creepy scream activated) tape recorder- I am putting it in my window tonight- NOT that I will be able to let you all listen to it- but DH is friend's with a vet (animal vet not war vet hee hee) and he can ask him

I do think it is some kind of bird- probably an owl.

DH said he will come out with me tonight if we hear it

There's a Tag if I ever saw one: I found my voice activated creepy scream tape recorder!

 

[mtblujeans]

You have been going to work!? I am sure John is not a happy camper about that!

and! going to Jury duty! Let me ask you- have you checked lately to see if you have a big "S" on the back of all of your clothing!?

....And if you do, will you post pictures??

John is not a happy camper about it. But like I keep telling him and the DRS I need some control over my life. They control everything else. This way here I can control 8 hours of my day. My two good bosses are so worried about me they just let me do what I want as long as I check in with them every couple of hours.
Okay what is the s for?
My mind goes to bad things.

I vote screech owl..they are really tiny and cute, but have a BIG voice...

How darn cute!!! Little B@$&^rd

I wish I lived in your neighborhood now

There would be some planning on my part for some fun for the evening

WELL! When I was setting the recorder last night- I said to DH IMAGINE IF! I check the recorder in the morning and we heard 2 people out there talking about how they were going to come in and kill us- but they got interruped Can you tell I have an overactive imagination.....or maybe it is one too many horror movies!

BTW- We did not hear anything last night- but I will keep putting the recorder out the window!

We freaps do not get tags on the BB- you have to be on the CB to get a tag!

I can understand exactly what you are saying- at least work keeps you busy and your mind from wandering. I am sure you do not exert yourself at work so if it makes you happy.....and SANE keep it up!

 

[maddhatir]

Random thought running through my head......

I just put some eggs in the microwave in my little microwave egg making thing......

(DH made 2 fried eggs last night) I go to open the carton of eggs and egg #s 1 and 4 from row 1 are missing?? Why didn't he just take eggs # 1 and 2, why did he skip 2 and 3 and go right to egg #4???

No need to respond- just thinking out loud

 

[hadleysun]

Mine DOES THAT! He picks out the "BIGGEST" eggs to eat!

 

[TinkerBean]

Men are just WEIRD that way!!!

Ok freaps - I have to take Violet to the vets this morning (one of my best friends is a Vet (our vet)) Anyway - Violet's eye on the side of the malignancy is bulging out this morning and all weepy and she is pretty lathargic...Not a good sign My poor little puglet. I am going to jump into the shower and go. But will check back in later.

Kellie, I think that going to work (on your terms of course) is probably a good thing for you - but remember you can always come hang out in the luxourious town of Mehfa with me and my Frozen Concoction Machine!!!(oh and let's not forget the capachinno machine either)...

I keep picturing you and you hubby tiptoeing (sp?) around your backyard and some devil owl swooping down at you! I have a feeling you would so totally LOVE that!

My hubby and I were sitting out by a river one night when we were in college and a HUGE owl swept down out of a tree and out in front of us! It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, but I didn't really feel that way until I was able to pick up my still beating heart off the ground and shove it back into the gaping hole in my chest from where it lept!

 

[hadleysun]

Good luck with Violet! Talk to you later!

I hope you get some good news! Poor little guy/gal

Oh no- I hope she is OK!!! PLEASE let us know how you make out!

After reading about your owl experience- I started cracking up bc I just remembered this story-

DH and I were out with my cousin- They were in the front seat I was in the back- we were driving down a dark street that had like one street light....all of a sudden, this thing (assuming it was an owl) came swooping down in front of the front window of the car ..... my cousin screamed like a girl and ducked down like he was trying to get under the dash board- I was PEEING in the back seat!

Another time- I may have told this here before- we were on a cycle ride. BIL and SIL were on their bike in front of us- there were all woods on either side of the street- all of a sudden I see this freaking HUGE turkey come flying out of the woods- VERY LOW and in front of their bike The thing was huge! I was cracking up b/c it was just a shock but really, I thought how bad it could have been if it hit them or if BIL got scared and swerved and dumped the bike!

And I was in a "ghost hunting" group a few years ago. I went on 2 "hunts" They were out of Philly- I left b/c I felt it was too "technical"- I like to be scared but I was worried about the recorders, the cameras, etc being in working order and recording the temp that I had no time to be scared.

I think old cemeteries are beautiful! I love taking pics. I make DH stop while we are on the bike if I see one.

Good morning Freaps(oops...guess it's officially afternoon now). I worked until 3:30 this morning, so, of course, feel like crap today. This better be one of the few days this week that the kids will actually take a nap because I have to go in again tonight at 7:00 and I only got about 3 hours sleep. I hate having to work such screwy hours but it's the only thing you can do part-time and still be able to be a SAHM during the day.

I'm feeling better about our finances though. Our credit card that raised our interest rate sky high agreed to lower it back down(aren't they generous? ) so that we can actually afford to pay it. We're still in the hole and won't be going to WDW this year but I'm planning a camping trip for a long weekend to the Smokies in June with some friends. I think we are also going back to an old favorite place of mine that DH and I haven't been to since we had kids, Edisto Island State Park in SC. We love that place and they have a campground right next to the beach. We are going in early October so the weather should be great and sea turtles should still be hatching out. It is about an hour south of Charleston and that is another of my favorite places in the whole world to visit so we'll do a day trip there. I can't wait. And, to give myself even more to look forward to, I think we may be able to squeeze out a WDW trip next spring if some good codes or discounts come out after we get NEXT year's income tax refund. So, even though I'm exhausted, at least I'm not depressed. Just hoping I don't run into Madd's mystery critter when I get home at 4:00 am one morning.

Marna- glad to hear you are getting away- that does help mentally to just get away from it all- actually camping will be much more relaxing than Disney!

Hey- you are going to be camping in the wilderness- with wild animals and you are talking about MY critter I would be afraid I would be eaten by a bear if I went camping.

uh- uh -Story!!!

Last week we went to SILs house- well, she just got a new puppy- I say puppy but she is huge already, part Pit, Rot and Boxer- My other SIL's 3 yr old (my nephew)is scared to death of the dog b/c she is always jumping on him and knocking him down! He is just a little guy.

He comes over SILs gets out of the car with his little backpack on (he is so sweet) and the dog starts jumping on him- so what does aunt Madd say!?- "Dylan! Hurry! Just curl up in a ball!- Keep your backpack towards the dog- this is good practice in case you ever get attacked by a bear!"

Oh- the poor kids has ME as an aunt- who else is gong to teach him those kind of survival skills though? Someone's gotta step up!

I work part-time at a newspaper on the Sunday advertising supplement that comes in the paper. I usually work Tuesday nights, Saturday during the day and some Wednesday nights if it's a big week(this week has all the Mother's Day ads). It's really not bad work, it's just hard hours for me since I am most definately NOT a night owl. And, for some reason, the kids don't ever seem to care that mommy hasn't had any sleep. If anything, they act worse on these days. There should be a bratty kid smiley somewhere that we could use to annoy all the perfect parents on the board.

Madd-I don't mind wild critters-just the ones that leap out of the darkness in the wee hours of the morning.

Leave it to Madd & IAHD to capture my life in smilies. I bow to your superior web wisdom. I should be napping now but am waiting for silence from the kid's rooms. How long will I wait? I'm hoping the nap gods will knock them both out soon. I'm soooooo sleepy.
