Gnomies Gone Wild

[Charleston Princess]

CP- not to enable or anything (who, me??) but as I recall there was a lot of painted pottery in Italy that had reds and oranges in it.

Oh, I need to check that out in October! Thanks!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I feel like doing something but I don't know what yet.

I have the other side of the house to clean today -- bathrooms and bedrooms. I am just doing regular cleaning of those -- and then there is laundry. One day I would like to scrapbook. I have had the worst luck this year finding time to scrapbook.

I need something to do. I would like to finish reading my book...maybe I will do that.

Morning girls!

CP, bummer you didn't find any tiles you liked. I would love to add some touches like that to my house

C, glad you finally got a nice day!

Jen, sorry you have a cold, that stinks

I desperately need to get some laundry done today. Greg has washed several loads this week but of course it is not folded or put away so I have NO clue what piles are what the boys and I will also go to the arts fair this afternoon, should be a beautiful day!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Laundry is over-rated.



But it's better than work work.

 

[jenjolt]

Well I actually have some laundry in the dryer I need to go fold but I wanted to get on here and get all caught up!! I really want to update but that would take to long so I might just wait for tomorrow and do it all then or wait till we get back to TX!!!

I'm feeling better today...the cold was worse yesterday!!!! I think I'm going to go fold that laundry and maybe read a book LOL!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Glad you're feeling better, Jen!

Why is it that Sunday night has to come so quickly??!!

I have just spent some time catching up on some trip reports and I am:

excited and very grateful that I will be there in ~ 2 months! ​

*but* (there should be not buts in WDW ) aching to have a family to bring to the World and kids through whose eyes I can see the World.​

I know... it will all happen in time. But with a rapidly approaching birthday I am waxing philosophical. And perhaps melodramatic.

The bottom line is I WDW and, of course, my gnomies! So glad to have friends who "get it."

I finished the book I was reading today -- it was quite good.

I desperately need to get some laundry done today. Greg has washed several loads this week but of course it is not folded or put away so I have NO clue what piles are what the boys and I will also go to the arts fair this afternoon, should be a beautiful day!

How was the art fair, Katie?

Laundry is over-rated.



But it's better than work work.

Yes, it is. I logged on to my school email and I already had four emails from my gifted coordinator about things that needed to be done -- it made me want to cry.

I'm feeling better today...the cold was worse yesterday!!!! I think I'm going to go fold that laundry and maybe read a book LOL!

Glad you are feeling better, Jen! Still enjoying Michigan?

My days are melting away quicker than I would like!

You can borrow my family, C. Chelsea just flipped out on me for no good reason.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

What? You are getting school emails already? That is WRONG!

Thanks for the offer on the family swap! Wouldn't it be great if we could choose our circumstances based on the situation?

Hope Chelsea snaps out of it. And no more work emails for a while. Try ignoring it and see if that works!

Yes! I was shocked when I logged on -- I get junk mail in there from time to time so I try to clear it out about once a week. Lo and behold there were work emails -- my heart just sank!

I hope Chelsea snaps out of it, too. She is still pouting in her room!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Ahhh...you couldn't pay me to go back to Chelsea's age. Makes me shudder just thinking about it.

I hear ya about the family C. I'm dying for my own little family to take to WDW.

I did HORRIBLE on my diet this weekend Gnomies. I am so ashamed of myself. I must do better. Tomorrow is another day.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

I wouldn't want to go back to the teen years either. But it sure would be nice to go through it all with the same perspective I have now and realize how much of it doesn't matter!

Diets are tough, LL and particularly the weekends. Much easier (at least for me) to be regimented during the week. You are right tomorrow is another day! Do the best you can. That's all anyone can ask!

They are tough. I was just continually bad this weekend and I'm so mad at myself. Bah.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Don't beat yourself up about it, LL! Just promise yourself that you will do better tomorrow.

Thanks CP. That is what I need to do. Must keep myself on track!

5. I'm really tired
6. I 'uninvited' my mom to WDW for 2010... she had invited herself when she heard I was figuring on going....
7. I'm cringing at the thought of November
8. Baggalini... OK but not what I had hoped for... Vera will be going to WDW


OK thats it. Glad that it seems like eveyone else seems good...I skimmed the thread, but a bit too fast to make comments...I'll try to get to that later.

I don't even know where to start!

How 'bout with welcome back! Looking forward to hearing about the trip - warts and all.

At least we have Sept to look forward to!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Oh no Paula! Sounds like quite the trip!

Anyone want to chat for a few??

 

[sunny_stace]

Hey Gnomies!
Sounds like everyone had a pretty quiet weekend! Me too, more or less just work and cleaning and a quick family BBQ tonight. I also cooked is you can believe it! You would all be proud to know that I actually cooked bacon for breakfast this morning without burning it or setting the smoke alarm off! It's one of my biggest accomplishments!

Paula - sounds like you had a heck of a time! I'm sorry to hear things sounding kinda gloomy. I hope everything works out ok. You know if you need a break you can always come up here and hang out in my igloo!

I think they will end the first movie when Harry arrives at Shell Cottage....if you know what I mean.

I was so happy to see the joke shop!

The Weasley Joke Shop was fabulous!! And I think you're right, the cottage would probably be a good spot to split. I do think I need to re-read the novel again soon though so I can think about it better!

LL & Stacy- All this HP talk makes me really want to see the movie. Did anyone watch the interview with JK Rowling on ABC the other night? I'm just fascinated that she came up with this idea. I keep waiting for my million $ idea!

No, I didn't see the interview but you're right. Sometimes I think 'which one of my ideas did I pass off as nothing that could have been huge?' You should totally see the movie(s) and read the book(s)

Stace wishnig you all the luck at the job fair!

Thanks Jen! I'm actually feeling pretty psyched for it!

Aww C! I totally know what you mean! I always get like that after I come back from visiting in Indiana and near birthdays too...don't worry, everything will happen when it's right! I think we'll find some waiters in April!
