Mojito Monkey Mama's 2 cont'd

[SlightlyGoofy]

Ants, don't cha remember that I wanted a picture of me boozing it up to show my grandkids that grandma was 'cool'?? It is a terrible picture of me but a good one of you. Putting your fellow on the back burner to do laundry? Are you crazy? The laundry will stay put until you get around to it but men are so very mobile. Shame you cannot do the dainties together.

Pooh, that was what I was afraid of. I know a lady who had been involved with a local businessman for some time and when he died, suddenly of a heart attack at a very young age, she found herself homeless, jobless and alone in mere minutes. Like the song goes "God bless the child who has his own". I have been down and out but I was younger then. I do not know if I would have the strength to pick myself up now. Might find out though.

The kids at the CC were so wonderful today. Gobs of the small folks and every single one of them wanting to be first to read. Warms the cockles of my heart, it does. One boy shared that his dad once made him drink half a whiskey and 'diet' coke. My radar says he is probably telling at least a partial truth. He is one that needs to practice his reading and is making some small progress here and there. Many of the kids are doing fine on their own and they just read a page or two and then go read on their own while I work with the ones who really need the attention. One child asked me if I was feeling better which was so sweet as none of my grandkids had asked that question. They also made me some Valentines which were the only ones I got this year. I am not so sure that I do not go over there for myself rather than for them. I am going to go shopping for some comfy beanbags for them so they can be comfortable while reading. The CC is run on a very close budget but the kids are well taken care of and taught many useful lessons in behavior and are almost like a family unit.

Poohbear, holding my breath waiting to hear...
Ants...only a 3?? hope it gets better!

 

[CathrynRose]

Memories...like the corners of my mind. Misty water colored memmmmories....

Who are all these people???

'

While you guys were down at the Pool drinking, we were too wiped to walk down there.... we partied outside our door.

 

[CathrynRose]

Who's the dude on the right????

Hey - are any of us crossing trips again in September?

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

CR, that ain't no dude, that is the infamous "Hardest working man on earth, my husband, Tom.

He went and got me a drink refill that night. Was the first time in years and also the last. Witnesses bring out the best in him. Anyone want to come and move in with us? Please? Pretty please???

SG/Linda

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Ants, any job that allows you more time at DW is a job well worth having. Congratulations, not that we were not sure you would get it. Lucky folks
they!!!

janjandis, gee I have a lot of the same pictures you posted. grin

Here is a picture of another 'character' I met in September. Very memorable too. lol

The man in the red shirt is your husband?

not complaining though.... it kinda happen too soon too fast for me... I am enjoying the single life with no family to take care off.. it was fun.. we still talk but not as much... plus the distance is great... (do I sound like I am making so many excuses.. hahahaa ) so we'll see... if he ever moves then maybe it will grow more to something else... for now I am happy to have a friend hahahahaa and just doing local spots.. hahahaa

and that too Linda... he is starting to question my time planned for WDW originally I was planning to include himon my bday plans sincewe have the same bday.... but naaaahh I dont think he;ll enjoy the mouse as much as I do....

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Oops, CR, the picture came here so big that the man in the red shirt was not visible. I have no idea who is he but then unless some kind soul would like to label the picture I could not remember the names of most of the folks in the picture. I was overwhelmed with meeting so many folks that night. Stories I remember, names and faces not so much and putting them together in the right order is difficult for me. Senility would be my excuse but I have always been this way.

Ants, you are wise beyond your years. Many a man would have been a better friend than mate. Trust your gut and enjoy what the friendship has to offer. Mixed marriages do not work. You gotta BOTH love the Mouse or it is doomed. I am a firm believer in getting out and about especially with a friend cause you meet more people and increase your chances of meeting someone just right and if not you had a good time with a friend.

I have been shoveling snow today. It is the light powdery kind so it has not been too bad and I am doing it in spurts. A week ago I could not have even thought of doing it so I am grateful. More due tonight and tomorrow though. Hope it does not mess up my planned night off. I need some fun!!!!

S/G you are so wise beyond any of us, please keep your wisdom coming.

Wic or wic where art though??? I miss you. How is your mom doing???

Everyone Else HI

Can I please ask this without anyone getting offended or upset, if anyone post pictures on our thread could you please reduce the size so we don't waste so much space. Before we know it we will have to start another thread since we are only allowed 250 pages per thread now.

 

[wic0721]

Morning Everyone!

Great pictures CR, who's who??? Sounds like you've got a mystery starting here...the mystery of the dude in the red shirt!

Ants, congrats on the new job! Sorry to hear the romance is only a 3 though, it is a long distance relationship...so maybe it will get better as time goes on!

Hey SG, I don't think I could move in with you...and keep my mouth shut around your husband , but you are more than welcome to come and live with us anytime!

I'm here Pooh, where have you been? Any ETA on your ring yet??? How's your headache, hopefully it's gone by now! Have you officially ditched Bridezilla yet????

Just like what my mom said... I am a true Aries... anything I cannot control I give up on it and just move on... I don't like the feeling you get from ... "if... maybe... did he??? maybe not... maybe its ok..." I will have a heart attack with all the uncertainties And I guess I am at that point where I don't want to go back to highschool anymore. IF you like good if you don't OK. No more mind games My mind has better stuff to think about.... like planning a trip!!! So there you go folks... the Baton Rouge situtation is on detour right now. Plus with the new job... it would be easier if we both take a breather... him more than me.. hahahahaa

About my new job!!! I have told you guys how mean the director and my supervisor... Well... I really came back 4 weeks early since I felt bad having my co worker working short... But before hand told them I would be taking a day off here and there in MArch for my post op check ups... and so I did put it in last week for March3 and 5. And so I was off this past Friday... to work the weekend... byt the time I got to work Saturday.. the whole lab already knows about my request days off and now everybody was telling me what happend Friday when I was not there...

Director: She has guts asking for time off where in she was out for 2 months vacation ( I was on medical leave)

Supervisor: I know and she is lazy anyway ( I am ther only who helps my shift!!)

Lead Tech: well we just have to let her know she cannot take any day off for the next 6 months.

Thank God!!! I have friends at high places and they were able to line up some good job offers come Monday... I got the one job I was hoping to get yesterday... but now they are sticking me with a 4 week courtesy notice since I was there for 14 years and have a 6 week vacation benefit under my belt... so this will be an exciting 4 weeks...

Ok I better go back to my chores... LOL I dont know who this thing can accumulate just like that!

Good for you Ants....

So he didn't pass the test, take it again! Yes, you can be bummed about it for a day or so..but then you pick yourself up and try it again!

So just how spazzy do you get when you are on caffeine??

My neice and my daughter have the same birthday, and their personalities are like night and day....it may have something to do with being gemini's though!

Good for you Pooh, get rid of the physco bride once and for all!

Yes, the fact that the jeweler knew what you were looking for was definately a good sign!

The headache moved???

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Ants, I am only so wise cause I done made ALL the mistakes and since I am a slow learner I am just now figuring things out. Not wanting to go back to High School, that pretty much says it all. Trust me, if you find things mildly, or more, irritating now, they will be unsurmountable and unbearable if you had to put up with them everyday. I firmly believe that you can have perfectly decent human beings but they just simply do NOT make a good couple. There has to be a balance in all things and if things are off balance, in power especially, it ain't no good for anybody. People might change in small ways but not the basics and you are following my first rule, to thine own self be true. When you know who you are, and you do, you know what you want and need and should not settle for less.

Pooh, things are looking up for you. Hope the letter to Bridezilla was registered so you have evidence that she received it. I am sneaky and if I were Mike I would have bought the ring somewhere you would not have been able to find. Sounding promising though.

WIC, you could holler at my husband all you want. Would not bother him as he thinks that women are basically all nuts and men should not listen to them at all. I am sort of like a trained dog, he thinks I am an anomaly and as long as I 'work' for him it is alright and to his credit for 'having' me.

When I was younger I suffered from 'Fat Girl's Disease". You know where you think that because you are sooo ugly and fat that you have to be nice, super nice, so folks will like you? At that time I weighed 160. Now I suffer from 'Big Mouth Disease". Not really as I say very little of what I think and I think a lot. Two years before I start collecting SS. Something to think about. Dream about maybe.

Time to fix lunch. Why would someone want to eat food prepared by someone they think is stupid? Just a thought. I fix my own food. I like me.

SG/Linda who is having Disney Dreams and missing Butternut Squash Soup.

 

[Poohbear67]

Yeah I know I just can't help myself I want that Darn RING NOW!!!! Just give a girl a Ring why don't ya!!!

Thanks everyone for all their support.

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Pooh, you are such a subtle woman. How could you ever expect Mike to know what you want? The scary thing is that men do not know what we want, even if we had it written in block letters across the tops of the cheerleaders at half time during the Super Bowl.

Hugs and best wishes, SG/Linda
