MOOvers on the MOOve Again

[Minnie_Moo]

We got a surprise today. Zach got invited to spend next summer traveling to Australia. It's an education exploration program founded by Dwight D. Eisenhower. I need to go to the web site and look into it more. Peopletopeople.com and there's a parent meeting in October.

Moo, it's official. I have been on my diet religiously for 12 days. I lost 6 1/2 pounds so far. My husband has lost 10+. I'm walking almost an hour a day and he did a total of 10 mins on the punching bag. Those silly men!!!!

Remind me to post some pics of our UP Adventure on here with some semi-witty commentary.

Did I mention we are going to Cancun in Dec? Enough said.

Mony - My DD did the People to People UK trip and it was a fantastic experience. I will just caution you that it was quite expensive. One of her guy friends from high school went on the Australia trip and he also had
a great trip.

w00t to you and your hubby on the weight loss!!! Class reunions are great motivators, aren't they?! And it really bugs me that men can lose so much faster. My hubby has lost more than me in six weeks less time (pout).

Looking forward to seeing some of your Yooper pics soon either here or on FB!

Cancun in December? Woo HOO!!!!!!!

OH, MOO, btw, knitfreaks wedding might be fun, but it;s in upstate NY, so I won't be there

Well, hopefully, you'll get to see the pics!

Have you checked into whether there's any CM availability at the DL resorts? It might be worth checking into if you haven't.

MommyP - Yay for getting close to your pre-preggo weight so fast!

Cel - That sure must feel great reclaiming your house again!!!

Hi, WT - Are your kiddies back to school already or do they not go back until after Labor Day like here in Michigan?

Happy (?) Monday Moovers. Hope this day finds you all happy and smiling.

Big L complained about it being slow and said she was reading and not posting, just saying...............

Marita, I was simply making an observation...not complaining. Just saying.


MommyP, LOVED the pic of Ellie and your niece. One to frame, for sure! Saw the results from your photo shoot over yonder too.....such great pics! Glad your swelling subsided.

Mony..congrats on the weight loss! Tell us more about your Cancun trip!


Cel, YAY for clearing up all the stuff in your place, and for getting your own stuff organized.


Moo, the kids are still getting at least 2 hours a day in the pool. It's great exercise for them, and they sleep like logs at night!


NAB, hope things are all safe and sound now where you are.


Sandy, happy belated anniversary!

I think I am loosing my mind (which is a terrible thing to lose)

I was trying to think of the old expression about waiting anxiously for something, and all I could think of was "waiting on hands and knees"

Luckily, I knew better and didnt utter that. but it took me 4 hours to remember "pins and needles"

Moo, a knitfreak wedding picture session is definitely planned. As for CM discounts at DL, prices are still $100 more before discount, and no free breakfast, so I doubt we will going that route.

Mony, YAY for weighloss and a trip to Cancun, w00t!

MommyP, NEXT BABY? Are you trying to get a TV contract? Set a new record?

I was trying to update links tonight to Round 2 files, and some people changed cell references, so now I have to relink from scratch, GRRRRR! I'm biting my tongue about the job

I have walnut fudge brownies, honey and chipotles pepper roasted walnuts, and regular walnuts ready to go for long evenings in the office.

 

[lalijack]

Psssst....there's a new game over yonder when you get around to it, Moo!

 

[Sandy321]

Mony Congrats - and wish I could help you with Sign Language!! I find trying to sign to songs/music is a good motivator - (but you find silly things out - like the "baby baby" you dont sign 'baby' (pretending to cradle a baby in your arms) you sign "sweetheart" and the sign for understand - is completey different from "under" and "stand"

Dh is still out of work.

DS #1 got laid off Friday.

DS#2 started college - today . and he joined the Water Polo team. and his girlfriend got back from her college student exchange intern program. today. and Sunday he competes in the triatholon - in Chicago!

DD needs to read Treasure Island (I'm sure she'll have to write a paper and put things from the book that werent in the movie - some big words are used, she keeps coming down and asking us about the words - I had no idea it was such a high level book!!)

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Sandy, HUGS Bad news about DS and still DH. Sending prayers and pixiedust!

When DD was taking college courses in German, she kept asking me for help. Just an annoyance, LOL.

 

[Sandy321]

marita but is that 'job security'? You have goog protein choices!!

there is absolutely nothing on tv tonight!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

The Dis ate my post :cry

Sandy, I Tivo Judge Alex, Judge Mathis and Divource Court for nights when nothing is on TV. Gives me something to fall back on.

Walnut Fudge Brownies, good protein indeed

 

[MommyPoppins]

Babyn - You know I love you. I've just had really bad experiences with my nurses. ) My little sister had an AMAZING nurse though.

Marita - We don't want any right now. Not for a few years, but we certainly don't feel like Chad getting the big V is right for our family and I can't take hormone birth control for health reasons. Besides I'm only 28, most woman are only just starting out at my age. I'm way too young to call it quits.

Don't you think Ellie is going to need a sister?

Heading to Ellie's 1 week check up today. She's still a little jaundice so hopefully that checks out and hopefully her weight is up some. She eats non-stop so it should be.

She didn't want to go to bed last night, so she got to sleep with me again. Funny how she goes right to sleep and stays that way when she's right up against me.

M-E-O-W!

Cancun is this little trip that only Tim and I are going on for a week to Cancun. Adults only resort, All-inclusive, Ocean front, with furnished balcony, and fully stocked mini-fridge daily. He cashed in his miles and we only paid a total of $14.00 for round trip air fare. He's starting a new position with his co. in Jan that won't require him to travel anymore. So, last time to use the milage.

Oh, did I mention two person jacuzzi tub in our room over looking the ocean?


I price hunted and booked through booking.com, we got a fabulous deal!


Almost time for my walk.

MP: PG already? No way! I know it's possible, but..........


Happy Tuesday!

What's not to love? lol

Deliver at my hospital with your next baby. We have midwives who deliver there. I'll show ya how a real bbn is supposed to act. But be careful, cuz ya never know what a bbn might do.

Sandy: Sorry about your dh still being out of work!

Mony: My kids already started school. We are adjusting niceishly.

Cel: Good luck with the cleaning. Just sing the "happy working song". It always makes me happy.


Everybody: Hi.

Sandy: I went 3.3 miles on the treadmill for you today.

I officially passed the fridge on this morning. I'm free!

Well, not really I got an email that I got a spot in the Intro to Education class I was waiting on. So, I'm gonna be super busy. It requires 30 field hours, which I'm assuming is observation in a classroom, something like that. Sandy maybe you can help me out here.

It brings me closer to what I want to do, and I'm almost done with the general ed classes, I just have to finish 2 math classes, one I am taking right now!

I need to take the basic skills exam and pass all three sections, figure out if my daycare will count toward my 40 hours of working with children req. and then I can apply to level II - The College of Education at Wayne State University. That is scary and very exciting at the same time. WOOT!

 

[WheatThins]

Nab. You must be so proud.

What will those wacky CANADIANS think of next? Turning mice into cows? Smart cars into Yukons? Govt. run health care?

I hope they don't forget to use some frog DNA too so the dinos can change their sex and reproduce off the island otherwise there would be no sequel.

Buwhahahahahahaha!!!! Extra points to the bbn.

 

[NAB]

I am out of the loop with chickens and dinasours W.T's......

We survived "Bill" . They said it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Bad enough for me rocking in a trailer. Felt like really bad turbulance in a plan. The waves were huge. After they said it was almost over we went down to the ocean to see. Pretty cool but we weren't getting too close.

I am now in Cape Breton visiting relatives. Beautiful weather now. Sun , warm breeze. Maybe we will go clam digging. Used to love that when we were kids with my dad. Love clams, not so much if they are too sandy.

Heading for home on Thursday to be back for Nicholas play off game on Saturday and Hannah is going to see the Jonas Brothers on Sunday.

I love you snack cake. duh.



Yo, WT.

I read your "article" about chickens and dinosaurs. I found this to be noteworthy.

The idea for the project, Larsson said, came about during discussions with renowned American paleontologist Jack Horner, who served as technical advisor for the Jurassic Park films.


And I suppose the lead research scientist was Little Boy Blue. And the genetic mutator is Old Mother Hubbard.


Hi Nab. Are you going to JoBros with Hannah?

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

I'm here. I think. At least I was last time I checked.

I went to Cincinnati this weekend to help the baby sister get settled at Xavier. That was an interesting experience. Last night we had this really boring seminar until 8:00 at night. Tonight we were supposed to have a meeting until 5 and it got out at 6. Consider that your play by play of my life. I also saw Time Traveler's Wife (2 thumbs down) and Ponyo (1 thumb down) this weekend.

Here's my favorite moment from this week I thought some of y'all might be able to sympathize with me about. We don't have lunch until 12:45 this year so we do snack at 11:15 because the kids are starving. This one kid has yet to bring a snack in and he keeps saying his mom won't let him. So, I called her just to clarify (TMbbn) and this is the response I got. And I quote, "I ain't sending no snack in with my kid. He's supposed to get all his food at school for free. If he wants something else he can find it himself." Then she hung up. This kid is 7. Oh that just makes me so angry. Really, don't get me started. So now he has a secret place in my cabinet where I keep snacks I buy for him so he can take them out without the other kids knowing that he can't bring food from home.

Hello and appropriate comments to everyone. With smileys and pictures, even. Beat that.

2 And the author was Avi Ben Stella. (Smart person joke!)

1 Did you just call Twink old?

2 My, how Snopes of you. What next, reports on a 9/11 conspiracy? Pop rocks and soda?

Some people are despicable! Not sure how it became YOUR job to feed her child 5 days a week! ARRRRRRRRGH!!!!!


Everyone else: YO!
