DD#1 brought back two Fortino's bags from Hamilton and the grocery stores around here are starting to sell the "lifetime" bags. So a step in the right direction.

But do you have to buy a set for every grocery you go to? Can you use the Kroger bags at HEB? Will the grocery store be offended? Will the sackers take it out on the produce?
--Kathy

I've used my "lifetime" bags from Basha's (local chain) at WalMart and other places. No one said a word.

 

[taysmom]

goodnight all...type to ya tomorrow...while doing laundry! ugh!

 

[Making_Memories]

These look like they would help organize my scrapbook stuff

I swear since I bought the wall units for the kids they have a whole different attitude on cleaning up. My son is very proud of his room and will clean it when told and then brags about his room being nice and pretty. My daughter has so much "stuff" that the buckets make it easier to organize all the odds and ends. They are called the Cameron Wall unit at Pottery Barn Kids. You can mix and match all the pieces to make something the size you would want or need.

 

[Making_Memories]

So THAT'S why I'm able to catch up!

Not a lot of talking going on. I added in a few pictures as filler for you all.

haha hey she was waiting for her hubby to come home and well I was just UP! I have only used my new iPhone on Friday night and then on Saturday. I just looked and I have 9 hours and 20 minutes talk time! Good thing I am on the UNLIMITED talk time plan!

 

[Making_Memories]

goodnight all...type to ya tomorrow...while doing laundry! ugh!

Laundry? nahhh well ok.......... do it early and we can catch lunch or dinner with the kids.

So every few months you will get to purchase a new "lifetime bag"? That strikes me funny!

Exactly!!

Happy first Mother's Day Marilyn.....I'll see you in person to wish you a happy second Mother's Day!!

Thank you Deb. And later, thank you Kathe.

Tough night here in DC. I was so excited to finally get to see my girls preform in Footloose tonight. It is the 4th of 6 shows. Gretchen made me feel bad for not coming to the first 3 shows.

Well frank has taken another bad turn with 104 fever and high blood pressure. They decided they wanted to run a battery of tests on him tonight and they thought it best if a family member be here at the hospital with him.
Well DH just can't be here cause he is the director and his brother said he is just to busy cleaning tonight (?????) So it looks like me.

My girls are just going to kill me. There are two shows tomorrow... But I really wanted to go tonight.

Oh Lisa you are being asked to do so much at the moment. to you and prayers for strength and grace to keep smiling.

Well some people worry about their underpants being clean and fresh in case of an accident. I worry about my house. What would my family think if they had to come to my house right now and sort through my belongings? Crazy sounding I know but my house being clean makes me happy.

Plus it is so much easier to maintain a clean house then having to spend hours doing a deep clean on a dirty house. Which is why it may sound nuts my kids clean their rooms every night, the fact is they are never really "dirty" so it is not a big deal and not a fight between them and I.

So for me keeping the house clean is the easy way out.

Now that is how I feel but never manage to attain! Well done to you.

Now those assigned didn't get upgrades? My theory maybe since we are not assigned right away its because we are getting an upgrade...wishful thinking

Well we have got to hope haven't we?

I have the same thing with Ray's daughter. I take care of him, attend to his needs, take him to the moseleum every week, pay for all of his expenses at Mrs. Bush, pay part of his monthly bill at Mrs. Bush, pay for his monthly pharmaceutical bill, take him to his doctors appointments, eye care, hearing aid appointments, whatever he needs......he's my step dad, but he's her father. The last time she saw him was about 4 years ago. He talks to her on the phone when he asks to call her at Mrs. Bush.....and I pay for it. No one came from his side of the family to Mom's funeral services. The only ones who are there for him are mom's family, not his own. It's very sad. But I promised my mom I would always take care of him and I do.

The bottom line is that we do what we must because we know that it's the right thing to do. There's no question, we just do it and we know it's right and we can sleep easily at night.

Deb, you're a star.

My flight to MCO has changed AGAIN! We were suppose to arrive at 11:30 and now it's 2:15.

Oh it is so annoying.

The dog is going to a kennel that we trust (one of the store Managers at our company and his wife own the kennel).

The fish - I bought an automatic feeder at the pet store for our last vacation.

The gerbils and the hermit crabs are going either to auntie's house or grandma's house.

Hopefully, no more pets in the next 70 days!

We have fish and our neighbour's daughter comes in to feed and check. Fortunately she has had fish herself so we don't worry. WE have discys which are very sensitive fish.

what have I missed - skipped a lot of pages.

Oh, loads of plans, arrangements, lists for special events.......!

Is there going to be a way we can get addresses and e-mails of everybody?

We coulod all do a little card with our address and/or email on and deliver them to the fish extender those we want to have them.

Have you flown allegiant before? My friend is flying allegiant tomarrow but didn't realize that the airport wasn't in orlando. According to reports it takes about an hour to get to WDW. Is this an easy drive? Is it really that far away?


Edit- I saw you haven't flown in awhile. Has anyone flown Allegiant before?

We have flown to Sanford twice and it is an easy drive down a toll road, much better than the I4. Does take a little longer to drive, but you are out of the airport much quicker too.

John,
What's new and different in Office 08? I'm not so eager to pay a bunch of $$$ if it's essentially the same.

I'll jump in because I also like the new Mac Office 2008.

They rewrote it an made it universal for the Intel based machines. I think it is more stable and faster.

They also took a Mac approach in design, so it truly feels like a Mac application rather than a Windows application in Mac drag.

It took a tiny bit of getting used to it but I quite like now. I have no problem working on documents that I created at work (on Windows office)

 

[iankh]

Am I the first one up today (in North America)?

I am heading out soon to work. My second job, leading WW meeting. Three again this morning.

Friday night after work I had to attend a WW staff meeting. Nothing like being in a room with 60 WW employees. Many are part time like me, there are also lots that are full time.

I have to weigh-in at every staff meeting. Actually I have to weigh-in once a month, having it done by another staff member and they sign it. I then have to send my weight slip to my boss who puts it on a report that goes to corporate.

They are having a bit weight loss push to help leaders get back to goal. I signed up for the 12 week contest. It's our territory against another for the biggest loss.

I now have to weigh-in every week for the next 12 weeks and send in my weight.

A little disconcerting because I am wearing business attire. Not the usual shorts and tee shirt like when I was getting to goal.

I wonder if anyone would mind if I stripped down and then weighed in?

Morning All - Taking a moment before we had to Mass.....

Completed the mascots Panama Canal Hats last night - another cruise related item checked off....and then hit the hay - Finally I am warmed up.

 

[granmaz]

Back from Church and just had some lovely fresh bread we made in the machine overnight. Yum! Church had a Mother's Day theme and I came home with some daffodills and a bookmark. We are just in the process of changing Church as we left our last one a month or so ago. This one is quite a bit different for us but it is feeling 'right'.

Going out for a cream tea this afternoon which is a 65th birthday celebration for a friend, then visiting our son and daughter in law for a cuppa tonight. Othrwise a quiet and peaceful day. The sun is shining but there is a very cold wind. Apparently it is going to SNOW overnight!

 

[gydell]

Easy night to catch up on. Not much going on and still no room #.

I bought one for DH to snorkel in. I got it online at snorkeldirect.com and only paid $50 for it. I thought that was a good bargain. You can find them on the internet for less. You can do a search or check ebay or just go to snorkeldirect.

Thanks I will definatly keep my eyes open.

We have flown to Sanford twice and it is an easy drive down a toll road, much better than the I4. Does take a little longer to drive, but you are out of the airport much quicker too.

Thats good to know since it is so much cheaper! DH and I can't rent a car yet (not 25) so wouldn't work for us. But in a few years it will be great. I will tell her its not bad and very easy. Thanks.

 

[JLSE50]

She is actually a big eeyore fan, she took mine and snuggles with every morning and night. Maybe she will get one of her own.

You might do better getting yourself a new one and let her keep the one she has now.

Those look great. Too bad my kids are grown. Hmmmm. Wonder if that could organize even DrHug and I!

Good morning all and a Happy Mother's Day to you, Marilyn!

I have a question for the Disneyland regulars...
We are only going to be able to stay over Sun and Mon at Disneyland, and haven't been before. What are the don't want to miss things you suggest?
It's me, DH, and 4 kiddies, ages 12-4. Thanks for any suggestions.

Let me get back to you on this one!

You're talking to someone who just did at least 5 weeks of Jane Austen on Masterpiece Theater!!! I do pack P&P for every vacation because just incase I do run out of things to read and I'm stuck somewhere... I can always get a good read out of P&P....

Me too, plus 2 rentals. It's been really fun.

Ahhh, if only it were ONLY 10 lbs! Still really have 30 to 40 to go, but I have been exercising 3 times a week since last fall... I have really given up on being skinny and am trying to focus on being healthy. Trying to get in all those fruits and veggies, which is a huge struggle as I hate, hate, hate vegetables!--Kathy

Kathy, this is the way to lose it - by giving up the words "skinny" and using the positive language of "healthy" You'll feel better inside and in your brain at what ever your size this way.

Good one!

Is it more like the old Appleworks? I still use that for my own documents; it's so easy! Word to me is so cumbersome--hard to find the things I want to use and it does all this stuff on its own that I don't want.
