Oh come on Kel- tell us :) It motivates me to get something done- I don't want to be the biggest slacker! :)

I am at work (a public school) and the furnace is busted- it is under 44 degrees in ther- AND THEY ARE NOT CANCELLING!!! I am ticked! They claim that they are working on it. Yeah- thanks- working on it is not an excuse for refrigerator temps in every classroom in the building. I woke up in a fine mood- but this is not going to be a good day. They are not even talking about sending us home...isn't there a law?!?@?@?

Siobhan- that broken glass ended up being a good thing- now the floor is swept and mopped...you know I was not going to do that unless I had to! :)
 
Oh Shel....Just think when it is 80 and you dont want to be there any more you can be thankful you wont have to make up that day!!!

Lcae..Where are ya??? I think I am going to take the kiddos to Goodies tomorrow because DD has a 1/2 day!!! :banana: If you wanna meet up somewhere....

ETA.....GF gals am I going a day bfore you???
 
Fine Shel I will tell ya.
I have a load of laundry, emptied the dishwasher, made my bed, cleaned the living room, took the trash and asnwered a bunch of emails.

Good morning all!!!

I'm still here...just getting ready for work...cleaned up alllll the Christmas stuff yesterday...that took all day. But, glad it's done.

Siobhan I'd love to meet up...Goodies??? My kiddos don't have a half day but, that's ok. I'll PM you later...

Got to take DD to school and start work...

TTYL
 
Good Morning Gals :surfweb:

I see Kelly is off and running full speed this morning :rotfl: :rotfl:. You just HAD to have her tell us what she's already done this morning, didn't you Shel :rotfl2: :rotfl2: (JK ;)). I'm showered and ready to go but that's only because I have to run out in just a bit :rolleyes1....otherwise I'd be sitting here in my pjs :laughing:. Figured I'd get ready, have my coffee, and dis a little before heading out :rolleyes:.


Chan......I hope you're feeling better this morning :hug:. How's DS doing???? I hope he's on the mend too :flower3:.


Siobhan & Lcaemom.....How fun you gals are going to meet :goodvibes. How are the plans coming along for the group of you east coast gals meeting :confused3? I had so much fun at breakfast with the IL gals.....I know you all are going to have a good time too :yay:.


Hi to everyone else :wave:. I hope everyone has a great day :).


Deb :upsidedow
 
Good Morning
Just so I don't look like a slacker. I cleaned the kitchen, including the counter top, changed sheets, have first load of laundry in, cleaned 2 bathrooms, and I'm showered and dressed. I still have to dust, vacuum, wash floors, and clean DS bathroom.:scared1: Who thought it was a good idea to have brass switchplates and wood mini blinds?:eek: It seemed like a good idea when I had a cleaning lady, now not so much.:lmao:

It is snowing. It is supposed to get very cold and snow Tues, Thurs, and Sunday.:eek: I am so ready for spring. 67 days.

Chan: Hope you are feeling better.

Break over, if I don't get up and start doing something now I'll get lazy and not finish anything. TTYL

OK...I had to come back home and post this. The craziest thing just happened to me...and I had to share this with all of you. Only you guys would understand how great and crazy this is!!!

I just dropped my DD off at school. She goes to the elementary school I went to (a million years ago) and I see old classmates that I grew up with there, all the time...with their own children. Somehow we all end up back where we started. Usually, I recognize people right away...no matter how much they may have changed. So, today this girl comes up to me and says "Are you Leighan?" I said "yes." I had no idea who she was and she had this really strong southern accent. She asks me if I remember her husband...she gives me his name. I said "of course, we were really great friends in high school...but, I probably haven't seen him since, high school." She says "I'm his wife...he has seen you here dropping off but, has been too shy to ask if it's you..." I said "OMG...I'd love to talk to him again." Blah, Blah, Blah...she says they just moved back here from...DISNEY!!! They met at Disney...she worked in the research library...he worked on production of Brother Bear. I said "OMG...we just came back from Disney...love Disney..." She says "Where did you stay?" I said the GF...she said "OMG...that's where he used to work...he was a manager and a building something or other..." At the same time we both say "What a small world..." and then we both laughed...as only Dis people, do!!!:laughing: They live here now...they'll both be at drop off tomorrow...I'm so excited!!! He was a great friend...his wife is adorable...so, friendly...can't wait to talk about HS but, even better....MORE DISNEY!!!:cheer2: Isn't that amazing?!?

You sound like Kelly the Energizer Bunny :rotfl:. Did you do ALL that this morning??? You gals and all your energy.....I'm tired just from reading about it :faint:.

Keep that spring countdown going as I think we're going to need it over the next few days :rolleyes1. It's supposed to start snowing here around 3:00 this afternoon and we're to get 2-4" :headache:. But tomorrow is supposed to be BLIZZARD LIKE CONDITIONS with very little visibility :scared1: :scared1:. And the temps aren't supposed to get much out of the single digits/teens :scared:. I think we're in for another round of nasty, crappy weather :mad: :headache:.

aw that so cute
 
This is for Deb....this is the new "amenitites & gift" menu...it's pretty steep. I havne't ordered from them in a while....they have become unpredictable....you could order from cookies by design...that's another idea.

I have to catch up on what i missed.....I'll be back after I get Jojo on the bus..OH no! No i wont'...meeting my friend Kristie for bfast....ttyl!!

I have to get going.....I'll catch you gals later this afternoon :rolleyes:.


Deb :flower3:

You're welcome Deb....I am still sitting here...my stomach feels a bit yucky still. I am thinking of bleah bfast foods to order.:rotfl:

Chan
 
Fine Shel I will tell ya.
I have a load of laundry, emptied the dishwasher, made my bed, cleaned the living room, took the trash and asnwered a bunch of emails.

Get that hoodie straightened out!! YOU NEED IT!! SHeli and I had an idea or two.....IM her...:thumbsup2

Sheli!
omg..there IS a LAW! There has to be...I am almost pos there is one!! GOOGLE IT & GET OUTA THERE!!

Lcaemom
...omg I love that!!!

Siobhan
- have a fun time at that B&C poser.

OK..I am off and have to run....hopefully my stomach will settle.

I will catch up later!!!:goodvibes

Chan
 
Morning! :flower3:

I figured out the Wii Fit and I'm pooped! :rotfl2: It took me about 45 mins just to design my Mii:rotfl: I worked out for a total of 10 mins and my heart is racing and my calfs are burning - I'm going to really like this once I put together a little routine. I did the Hula-Hoop, Basic Run and Basic Step Class, I feel like I worked out for 30 mins! It was only 10!!!:laughing: Highly recommend this if anyone's looking for a fun workout. :thumbsup2

Chan: Sorry to hear you're not feeling well:sick: . Maybe stick with some toast and tea at breakfast. Say hi to Kristin!

Kelly: I unloaded the dishwasher so far. :rotfl:

Shel: I never thought to put the stove burners in the dishwasher :idea: Think I'll do that later this morning. Stay warm! That's crazy they're not closing school:headache:

Laecmom: That's such a cute story! And we discovered your name! I like the way you spell it. May we call you by your first name :confused: I can never remember the exact spelling of your screen name :rotfl2:

Deb: I ordered the chocolate Mickey w/tuxedo strawberries. I think it was $65 total last year. The Mickey is white chocolate with gold accents. Another idea would be Edible Arrangments. They have a mickey arrangement. It's actually quite large and well worth the money. I helped a friend plan a WDW trip and she sent me one as a thank you gift. The fruit was delicious and my kids loved the mickey shaped pineapples :love: It would be very refreshing in June and they could store it in the room fridge, I'd just bring some large ziplocks to take it apart unless you remove the shelves in the fridge - it should fit. Had I of known about that last year, I would have ordered it instead of the strawberries, the fruit is a much better value. And we didn't eat the chocolate Mickey :sad2:
 
Traci: That is such a sad thing about that little girl. I will pray for her family. I can't imagine how awful her sister must feel...

Marvel: I don't want to se that movie. I don't think I could handle it. I cried during "Bolt" :rolleyes2:

Sibohan: I've read the beginning of the book too and haven't gotten any further...sounds too sad

Deb: I will be a slacker with you, LOL!

Maxie: The brass switchplate and wood blinds sound like my clear glass shower doors: pretty to look at and only nice when you don't have to clean them!

Channing: Hope you and Z feel better!

Lcae: What a neat story! I bet talking to him again will be fun!

Kelly: I feel like a loser. Some days if I get out of bed and actually get dressed it is a major accomplishment! I agree, you get more done in a day than I do in a week!

Have to go to the eye doctor today, I ripped my last pair of contacts. Hopefully I can get more before we leave, as I can't really see much at all without them and my glasses are over 10 years old! Good thing they ripped now instead of just before we left, though!

Have a great day everyone!
 
Good Morning All! :goodvibes

Kel- Haven't you heard of Mondays????????? We are not supposed to get up early to do stuff!!! :rotfl:

Traci- that is HORRIBLE about the little girl. But MAJOR kudos to the Jo Bros for what they did for her :worship: I will pray for her and her family (the poor sister :sad2: ) Also, I have used Betsy twice before for gift baskets and she is WONDERFUL!! :thumbsup2

Chan- did Z go to school??? I had a HORRIBLE tummy ache last night, but never got sick. I was watching the Brett Michaels show, praying that no one overindulged and got sick since that would probably send me to the bathroom, but no one did. I feel fine today though :confused3

What is up with the stinkin weather??? We are under a blizzard watch for later today and tonight, another snow storm on Wednesday and they temps that won't get above zero :faint: Mandy, open up the guest room, I am moving in with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am done with winter and it just started!

Anyone here watch 24????????? I am so excited to have my beloved Jack Bauer back! :yay: And in a couple of weeks Lost is back too :woohoo:

OK, I need to shower and run some errands since this will be the only day this week without snow and temps above 15 degrees. :eek:

Later Taters!
 
I am done with the downstairs, and the 4th load of laundry is in. Just need to finish the upstairs. That won't take long, I do not go into DS's room.:scared1:

Deb: I did do all of that this morning, but only because I was a major slacker this weekend and I am working the rest of the week.

Sheli: Do you have heat yet? I can't believe they are keeping the kids in that school.

Lcaemom: That is neat that you met your friends wife. It really is a small world. Now you can get us the insider information.:rotfl2: Are you meeting up with Sibohan?

Amy: 10 days :bride: :woohoo: The brass switchplates look very nice as long as you don't touch them and get fingerprints on them.:rotfl2: I feel for you having to clean the glass shower doors. They look like a nightmare to keep clean.:eek:
 
Afternoon Ladies :goodvibes


Chan......I hope your stomach settled and you were able to enjoy your breakfast ;). The goodies on that list sound so delish......but I'm kind of afraid to order with all the problems you've said there have been :confused3. I'll have to give it some serious thought :scratchin.


Kristin......I'm with you on this sucky weather :headache:. It's not doing anything here at the moment but reports say it's coming :eek:. I am so tired of the snow and cold that I don't want another couple of inches of snow and single digit temps :mad:.


Mare......Thanks for the reminder about Edible Arrangements :thumbsup2. Someone gave that idea awhile back when I first started on the GF FAQ thread and I totally forgot about it :rolleyes1. From what I remember the arrangements looked awesome and the fruit looked sooo good :). I knew I was forgetting about something :rotfl:......thanks!!!!!! I think I almost have to order the chocolate covered strawberries for DH because he LOVES those.....plus we're arriving just 6 days after our 17th wedding anniversary so I can tell him it's a little (although late) anniversary gift :love:.


Amy.......ONLY 10 MORE DAYS :bride: :groom:. It's really getting down to the wire.....how excited you must be :cool1: :cool1:.


Maxie......WTG on your cleaning :thumbsup2. I managed to get some things done this weekend, but not what I should have gotten done :rolleyes1. There is laundry I SHOULD be doing right now but I'm just not in the mood :rolleyes:. It will still be there tomorrow :rotfl: :rotfl:.


Deb :flower3:
 
Lcae- what a great story! I love running into old friends- and the fact that you share "disney" is a great treat!

Kel- I am never upset by all you do- just stunned! I have no energy for all that stuff first thing early in the morning- it is all I can do to drag my butt to work in the morning..never a problem at Disney- but here :confused3

Chan :eek: those prices are nuts. Not necesarily the dollar amt but what you get for that amt. UGH!

Deb- I think that storm is headed here mid week- along with some blistering cold temps!

Amy- sorry about the contacts- but I agree, I am glad it happened now and not the day of the wedding. Or the day before you leave. Are you nervous yet? I love your gift boxes on your PJ.

They did finally get the heat on in the school, it was up to 62 in my room by 2...I left early..after spending the morning in 40 degree room I needed to get somewhere warm! I am sure it is illegal. Tons of kids were being dismissed early by their parents. It was a nutty day. I can't believe we will be at disney so soon! Hopefully it is nice and warm there- I am done with the cold! :)
