Gnomies Gone Wild

[2xcited2sleep]

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Weekend is ok other than the extreme HEAT (and I like it hot but this is too much) and some relationship woes (but what else is new with me... )

Miss Jackie - how are those chores coming? (i.e. when are you starting your TR????)

Katie - how was your reunion lunch?

Jess- good luck with your paper and the 50th b-day party!

Jess, just started the trip report! Do you know it is hotter here in Atlanta than it was down in Florida??? I thought I was going to pass out just bringing in the groceries!

C, Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday Christine!!!!

I am home and SO tired! The picnic was fun yesterday and enough people were there to convince me to go to the evening festivities and I had SO much fun!!! I ended up dancing until 1:00 in the morning. I even hung out with some people I didn't really know that well in high school but now wish I had known better because there were a few really awesome people there. I'm so glad I went

 

[Roxychica7]

Oh my gosh Jackie!! I hope you and the kids survive the heat wave!!
Jumping over to check in on your trip report!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTINE!! Hope you have a great one girl!!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Thank you! Still crazy hot here. Supposedly it breaks tonight. I have the next week off and am looking forward to relaxing and not thinking about stupid work!

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday. Katie - so glad you had so much fun at the reunion!

Thank you Jen and Paula! No such thing as late wishes. I'll take all the wishes I can get!

P- I've been admiring your scrapbook pages on FB but have been delinquent in posting. You are so talented. They look awesome!!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Happy Birthday C!! Sorry it's so late in the day. Had a busy day of doing nothing today.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Thanks, LL!

Gals, how are you? What's going on?

As much as it pains me to have to ask... any tried and true antidotes for heartache you can share? How do you stop caring?

Men suck. Or at least the ones I know. Yours, I'm sure, are delightful.

Awwww...C I'm sorry!! Guys can be so inconsiderate at times!!! I'm thinking of you!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Lots & Lots of alcohol.

Or do what I did....swear off men completely.

The world works in mysterious ways.

C, if you are feeling down, maybe we can plan to meet up???

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Thanks, Jen. Yes, inconsiderate and a few other non-DIS adjectives...

Lots & Lots of alcohol.

Got the alcohol covered!

Yep, world is mysterious. But it's been 30+ years... I'm ready to solve it.

Would love to see you and Marc if he's around!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Marc works a whole lot but we can try.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Aw, I am so sorry, C!!!

I second the alcohol remedy! Sounds like someone should make a great, big Grey Goose slushie for themselves!

 

[Roxychica7]

aw so sorry C! Trust me, all of ours drive us crazy sometimes, they're not always delightful

I agree on the alcohol. I always tend to clean a lot or organize my closet, or work on a project that I've been putting off for a while. Keeps the mind occupied, plus it makes you feel really good when you see everything you've accomplished! Thinking about you girl!

We had some CRAZY storms last night. There was a tornado WARNING here for several hours and of course Blake wasn't home at the time, thankfully nothing major happened.

I wish we all lived closer so we could plan get togethers when we need them!!

 

[kschafer]

Aww geez C...I'm SO sorry you are dealing with boy issues!!! I'm sure it doesn't help but as much as my hubby can drive me crazy, I (probably) wouldn't trade him if I could. I do get your desire to have a special someone to share your life with and I'm sorry he hasn't come along yet In the meantime, you have your gnomies...we're not the same as a boy but better in a few ways Hang in there hon...sorry I don't have any secrets to getting over heartache or tips on where to find "the one" (although I know you've said before that you're not interested but how about online dating services )

How is everyone this weekend? We've been busy with odds and ends around here lately and I've been lurking mostly around the Dis when I have a few extra minutes. We decided to take a mini vacation next week. Since we only have a 5 day window, it's close and we know the boys will like it - we are returning to Wisconsin Dells. We get theme/water park tickets with our hotel stay so our plan is to go first thing in the morning each day, stay for a few hours then when it starts to get crowded, head out for a nice lunch then do something different in the afternoon (one day will be a train ride, another for a horse-drawn wagon ride and walks in the canyons and another will be just wandering the town a bit and mini-golf)

I'm also super excited to stop in a town on the way there that is known as "little switzerland". I found a restaurant we can go to for lunch that serves 2 of my favorite swiss meals I think I may have to order both! There is also a place called the Cheese and Chocolate Haus...how can you go wrong!?!? On the day we return home, we'll stop at a farm to pick up fresh blueberries (since we aren't making it to MI this summer where we usually eat our fill!) and take a tour at a cheese factory. I'm excited!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Thanks for the solidarity, sisters!

Jackie - I hadn't even thought of slushies... good call. I have to google and see if there is a recipe online.

Jess- projects are a good suggestion. And I have PLENTY of them to keep me busy. I wish we all lived closer too. If any of you follow Anita/Wigd's TR you know we are dreaming of a DIStown. That would be very helpful right about now.

Thanks, Katie. I know the online dating thing is really big now and I think I saw that 1 in 8 couples today meet online. But I still don't think it's for me and am definitely not ready for it right now. Enjoy your mini vacation next week. It sounds great!

---------

So I started day one of a couch to 5k program today. Hopefully I can stick to it.

Hi Girls!!

hope u are all doing swell this fine Saturday nite!
I had my gnomies on my mind tonite... so I scrapped this.....

On another note... thanks to LL's referral... I now am down to 125 points to rent for next year I could even borrow a couple extra if needed.....

If any of you gals know someone interested.... send them my way. I'd much rather work with friends (or friends of friends) rather than a random person on the rental boards!!
