MOOvin' Along - Goog Times, Goog Friends . . . Part 2

[lalijack]

Do you know who you are talking to? DO NOT ENCOURAGE HER! The costco one will be JUST FINE! That's me smacking your hand!

Oh, but you haven't seen my darling DD with her doll, all gussied up in their matching outfits, with their hair done the same way, playing in DD's room. Cuz if you had, you'd be encouraging Wendy too! That dang doll is heaven!

Hi Allie! As you can see, I'm Lynette. This is a great group...very friendly and fun! Welcome!

 

[aldisneygrl]

ALLIE!!!!!!!!!!! Glad to have you.

We have several dog lovers over here who I'm sure would love to see your pooches in their Howl O Ween costumes!

I looked at costumes at PetSmart Saturday, but nothing really looked that great for my puppies. I'll have to see if I can come up with some ideas on my own. Or maybe from Mr. Google . . .

Well, I'm not sure about the pics. Not too good of me. Plus I break out in a sweat everytime I look at that photobucket website.

I made their outfits. I actually used my dd's Thing 2 shirt from when she had to dress up for Dr. Seuss' b'day. I bought a red onesie for my Jack/Rat mix. I traced a circle on it, painted it white, and then wrote Thing 1 on it with a black paint pen. I wore my black velour jogging suit with a white top, and the red and white striped hat. Nothing elaborate, just cute.

Thanks for the Welcome! I already "know" quite a few of you.

Thanks for the welcome. I need to go to bed because I was up until 1:00 AM yesterday (actually that would have been today ) DISING. I have to work tomorrow, so I need my rest. I am a helper at my church's preschool.

Night all.

GOOG MORNING!

Cold rain again today here in KY....ugggg. Nothing newsworthy going on here and no pertinent comments. Maybe I caught Marita's non-talkative bug. Can you believe it?

Oh but Allie! Good to see you over here!

HAVE A GREAT DAY TODAY, EVERYONE!

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

GOOG MORNING, SUNSHINES!
I brought activities for those of us stuck in the rain again (for the 3rd day in a row, I'd like to mention). Indoor recess is getting old. Those kids need to go out and run!

Welcome, Allie!!
I am PJ. I'm the smart, intelligent, witty, amusing one here. Actually, I think they just keep me around so they get their proper greeting every morning.

Have a great day, everyone!

 

[babynurse1]

Allie. Pleased to meetcha.




Today is pajama day at school. This day always bothers me just a bit. Pajamas are for bed and some pajamas are not fit for public consumption. But my youngsters have no such pj's. lol

Twinkie, thank you for that useful info re: hat day and not doing drugs. I hope you have an explanation for pj day. NO, PJ, not, PJ day,.

 

[NAB]

Morning all,

Welcome Allie

P.J. -- We would miss your morning greetings.

Not that we didn't love Lexi feeding us every morning too. You both bring sunshine even if it is still a wet yucky day again.

I should run back out to the mall because the stuff I bought for Nicholas didn't fit. When the heck did he out grow a size 14 pants. Guess what Celery Nicholas is a 16 too!!!

Babynurse-- Wow a theme everyday. Is it p.j. day for you too?

Did anyone watch Biggest Loser last night were the guy drank 2 gallons of water or something and gained 17 pounds before weigh in. He did it on purpose to get someone else sent home.

 

[TwinkieMama]

Allie!
and back Kay!- yes I have mooved already still have boxes here and there but I don't see that changing anytime soon

Babynurse- I am with you 100% on PJ day. PJs are for bed or lounging around the house. If you wear them out in public they cease to be PJs. Kind of a contamination thing. And I agree about many pjs not being for public consumption. And some of my children own exactly that kind of pjs.... sheer twirly slips are very princessy

I slept like a baby till 3 am. One child had bad dreams. One child had a stomach ache. One child (golden) just has the bad habit of coming and crawling into our bed about that time each morning. The constant stream of the other two kept him awake. Seriously- we needed a revolving door between 3 and 6 am.

The bad dreamer did go back to sleep and is now fine via poptart therapy.
The sicko did throw up at 7:30 am after moaning and groaning all night. He feels better. Glad to be home from school. Now wants to be waited on hand and foot while he watches TV. Ha. I just sent him back to bed.

I am still in my pj's. These pajama's actually came from the Rainforest Cafe at AK. I've been puttering around the house. I have to go to a meeting at work later. So, I will reach my goal of smelling goog soonishly.

I did not see that on t.v. Did his plan work?


Sorry about the bad night Twink.

The sun is trying to shine, but it is cold out there.

Babynurse --yes his plan did work. But everyone is really mad at him for doing it.Jammies from AK, they must have an animal print of some sort on them. Great for visiting the zoo maybe.

Twinkie--Hope you don't catch what sick kids got. They are just getting you ready for when the baby comes. They should do it every two hours though.

Haven't gotten anything done today yet. I am caught up in a book that my sister gave me. Buddy is driving me crazy because he wants to sit on me all day long and if I am reading he is like up so I can't even see the pages.

 

[celerystalker]

I forgot to talk about this last night.
Ok. So I was driving home and I heard a Shane Company commercial. For those who don't have one near you, it's a jewlery store that specializes in engagement rings. they're really nice and will give you a temporary setting to propose and then you can come back with your fiancee and get one that she picks out.
anyway, I've never bought from them, but they seem like a good company to me and I usually enjoy their commercials cuz they seem like real people, ya know?
but this one! oh my goodness!
the owner's name is tom or something like that and he talks in most of them so this "customer" asks him "What do I do if I'm taking my girlfriend ring shopping but I don't want her to know my price range?"

In other words, she's good enough to share the rest of your life with her, but she can't know how much YOU can afford? Even though pretty soon your finances will be merged?
People are stupid.
I don't get being secretive about money.
I never have.
I make 39,000 a year. and it's not enough because I go to disney world too much.
I owe a BUNCH.
like if you count the house, it's probably around 330,000.
now you all know my business.
or not.
cuz you skim.
ha!



Hey lex - I've only had one caffeine drink so far - can you believe it?

(via UM's TR - hope you don't mind the mild hijack in your TR Wendy )

Utah is the queen of hijacking. She does not mind.

Oh, but you haven't seen my darling DD with her doll, all gussied up in their matching outfits, with their hair done the same way, playing in DD's room.

On the one hand, that sounds adorable. On the other, it sounds kinda creepy. How big is the doll? Like chucky size? or smaller?
if it's the size of an american girl doll, that's sweet and cute.
if it's bigger, I'd have to make sure the doll was asleep in the closet before I went in there at night. hehehehe.

Well, I'm not sure about the pics.
I made their outfits.

We need pics! We love puppies! And crafts! Well, I love crafts.

I should run back out to the mall because the stuff I bought for Nicholas didn't fit. When the heck did he out grow a size 14 pants. Guess what Celery Nicholas is a 16 too!!!

The thing is, I had no idea until this weekend that boys sizes went that high.
How do I know?
Cuz I'm STUPID! I saw a pair of 18 docker navy pants at dollar general for $4.50. So I bought them.
they are BOY 18s.
argh!
maybe I'll send them to you nab so Nicholas can wear them.

The bad dreamer did go back to sleep and is now fine via poptart therapy.

1. Sounds interesting, but could you make it toaster strudel therapy for me?
2. I don't think you should call any of your kids a sicko. It's not very nice.

Goog Morning!!

My boys are eating. I can't get Jeremiah to put his book down even to have lunch. He would be done with one of the tree house books, already, if not for the fact that he started the other one this morning. I could hear him reading while I was still in bed. They never even asked to put the TV on.

I was supposed to have an appointment today. But the lady made my appointment in the computer for the 17th and gave me a card for the 24th. WHY would I have gone AGAIN last week when I was JUST there the week before? So now my new appointment is on Tuesday. Which worked out because my sister has an appointment on that day as well.

The bad thing is I was going to go to Joann today to get the things needed for my changing table because everything was on sale. Including 99 cent patterns!!(got one for the baby's bedding!!) So I asked Chad to bring me into town yesterday afternoon to get it. We saw a plane crash. Very strange. I guess he needed to make an emergency landing in the parking lot ACROSS the street from the airport. It was just a little private plane and both men walked away.

I needed foam and vinyl for the top of the changing table. I got that and the pattern for $12!! Half the price of a changing table pad alone! I got red vinyl, which Chad didn't understand. I said, "half the walls and ceiling are going to be blue, the bedding is going to be a lot of blue, I HAVE to have another color in here!" He will get it when he sees the finished product in the house. Of course it irks me that the changing table is white and the crib probably won't be.

Someone from church gave us one, however, it is missing the SIDES. Hopefully he just forgot to bring them and there ARE actually sides and hardware. It's just a simple jail crib, but it's oak and actually really pretty. It has some pretty detailing on the headboard side. I might could paint the inside of the detailing white and put oak drawer pulls on the changing table to draw them together some. Too bad we didn't find an oak cabinet!

We are closing TOMORROW! FINALLY! At 4 PM. Hopefully our builder gets on the ball and gets to permitting now. He could have already been done with that. Chad will have to light a fire under his butt now that we are going to be paying interest on the loan.

We did cinnamons(synonyms) and antonyms in English today. Surprisingly Seth understood it more easily than Jeremiah. I am off now to find some worksheets I can print out for practice for them.

Have a good day!

 

[celerystalker]

closing tomorrow? WOW! Yay!
I was trying not to get my hopes up cuz I know how things have gone in the past -
but it's fer real!
woo!
can you post the floorplans for the house?
I'm a floorplan junkie.

 

[UtahMama]

Ok, Cheryl and Celery invited me over here (via UM's TR - hope you don't mind the mild hijack in your TR Wendy ), so here I am. I just got back from my dog's Howl O Ween contest at PetSmart. We didn't win, but we were cute. My Jack Rat was Thing 1, My Border Collie mix was Thing 2, and I was the Cat in the Hat. Fun was had by all.

Oh, my name is Allie, and I usually am over on Wendy's Peep thread. I have lost 13 lbs. since August, and need to lose that much more. I am running the 5K in AK in Jan. with my DD. I will be 40 next year, and that is an early B'day, Valentine's, Anniversary, etc. gift!

Hi everyone!

BOUT TIME you come join us!

Your dogs and you were obviously ROBBED of the Howlloween grand prize. I would have demanded a revote

Geeez, you're OLD!

 

[TwinkieMama]

What do I do if I'm taking my girlfriend ring shopping but I don't want her to know my price range?"

In other words, she's good enough to share the rest of your life with her, but she can't know how much YOU can afford? Even though pretty soon your finances will be merged?

2. I don't think you should call any of your kids a sicko. It's not very nice.

A. Re the ring prices..... I agree with you that if you are planning to spend the rest of your life with someone they should know your life goals, if you want kids and how you feel money should be handled and how you really feel about many other subjects. So many people seem to skip this step. However I do see the other side of this - the ring is a gift.


PS I don't skim much. I'll be at the scary Kroger at 6. Watch out.

PPS I know exactly what is happening to real estate prices in your neck of the woods. Sell the house you don't live in. Retire early. another mom moment brought to you by lack of sleep

1. Toaster strudel therapy coming your way!
2. I didn't call him a psycho. Just a sicko. As in actually sick not faking it. Which is post worthy cause he is the biggest hypochrondriac and a horrible patient when he is actually sick.


whoo hooo MOMMYP! a whole post of excellent news!!!!!!

 

[pumba]

morning .....oh wait .......its afternoon..geesh.......I guess I should look at the clock once in a while.......
Today started off as a bummy day......overcast and raindrops hitting me on the head.....I have a stiff neck too.....probably that dang pillow or the dang dog pushing me off the bed.....holding onto said pillow for dear life...

Now about that Harry Potter book.......I finished number two and I sort of borrowed number three from my neighbor so I can "see" if I like this book or not.........still not sure....hahaha....I am nuts I know.....

well I had better do something constructive today.....I havent done a thing yet.....see ya later mooers

 

[MommyPoppins]

Celery - I will try and take a picture of the floorplans soon and will try to post the picture before the house is actually built.

 

[Kay7979]

Goog Morning!!We are closing TOMORROW! FINALLY! At 4 PM. Hopefully our builder gets on the ball and gets to permitting now. He could have already been done with that. Chad will have to light a fire under his butt now that we are going to be paying interest on the loan.

Have a good day!

Congratulations, I'm glad to hear the house construction is moving forward. It's great that this is all working out for you.

 

[Kay7979]

back Kay!- yes I have mooved already still have boxes here and there but I don't see that changing anytime soon

Boxes are no big deal. Unless the one thing you desperately need is in the bottom. Of one. But which? hehehe

Don't feel bad, we have been here a couple years now and I still have boxes, cause I have no idea of what to do with all this stuff. And we have two outbuildings. With more stuff. ARGH.

Cel, the doll is 23 inches tall (that's 5 inches taller that AG dolls), but it's not Chucky-esque at ALL! My DD really adores her. I have pics of DD and the doll together, dressed in their matching pj's (not PJ's - pj's!). So cute!

MommyP, my DS read the Magic Treehouse series too! He LOVES them! (It appealed to him initially because one of the kids is named Jack ) Problem is, he's currently reading # 38 - that's the latest release - so we're actively searching for a comparable series of books to entertain him once this last book is done. Have to have a book to read at all times!

Congrats on the closing! What will you guys do to celebrate?
