I decided to transfer my replies from the UC thread to this thread. I'm unofficially locking the old thread.





Thanks Tigger! I really could use the UC girls' help when looking? Anyone wanna road trip to FL??

I do, I do!! :yay: :banana: :cheer2: It'd be so much fun if we all could go dress shopping with you!




Fainting here! He's soooo hot. Love me some cowboy! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

The latin phrase of the day cracked me up too.

I had a feeling that you'd appreciate that Brett Tucker picture. :rolleyes1

:teeth: I think that I'll have to do a Latin phrase of the week instead. I might run out of phrases if I do this every day! :eek:




:wave:

I don't really have much to say except that I'm actually excited about going to work tomorrow. :banana: For once! :laughing: I'm going to DHS with my friend Amy in a little while so I won't be back on till later.

I hope you had fun at DHS! Hey, how did it go on Sunday? ;)



Super-Fun Monday Event!
Post one or none, on anyday- not just Monday!

So, today I thought it'd be interesting to post a mini-list of our favorite things (cue Julie Andrews and the Sound of Music Children.. :laughing: )..
Here's mine:

Cupcake frosting
Sunflowers
Old Books
Pancakes
Red Velvet Cake
Weddings
Starbucks Unsweetened Ice Tea
Southern Accents
Gardens
Old, Historic Houses
Ballet


Of course, this is a partial list. :thumbsup2

Hope you have a FANTASTIC Monday! :sunny: :flower3:


Cool!! Thanks for posting this! I'll work on it in a bit.




I'll only be here another 20 minutes or so.

It hasn't been a great day. Clients are driving me crazy and the guy that got laid off, well his clients got passed on to me and they are ticked because he didn't offer them the buy 4 get 3 promotion. Or that the pool is going to be closed at the Yacht Club, which is the whole reason they booked there. :sad2: So I have to clean up this mess.

Sorry that you haven't been having a good day. :sad2: That stinks that you've been swamped with all these client issues ever since the layoffs. I hope that the situations gets better somehow.......and soon.
 
:wave:

I'll bring my hotties and my food tomorrow..... I'm just popping in to say AWESOME JOB with the thread Tig!!! And love the crest Honu! :thumbsup2

Ok.... must go to bed. I work with my man tomorrow.... so I gotta get up early so I can get to lookin' good before work (oh and then I'm going to be at his apartment most of the night too most likely for dinner and such so yeah....). :teeth: G'night ladies!

:grouphug:
 
McSteamy and McDreamy send their love. :lovestruc :love:

~*~ Tea with Tiggerfan1 ~*~




Here are the pictures from my afternoon tea party! I didn't have time to take very many. Even though I prepared several things in advance, I was still scurrying around doing last minute things.





Since, was a pretty warm day here where I live, no one really wanted hot tea. I made some ginger tea lemonades instead. It's a really refreshing drink and it went well with the items on my menu. Here's my teapot just for show. :teeth:

teatimepics002.jpg









My 3-tiered server was too small to hold all the goodies, so I went with some serving trays instead. I stuck to my original plan for the sandwiches. I made open-faced cucumber sandwiches on toasted, thinly-sliced French bread slices, egg salad, chicken salad, and mini butternut squash and caramelized onion galettes. May I just say that I HATE WORKING WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH!!!!!!!! :headache: Seriously, it is such a pain to peel and chop. However, the end result made it all worthwhile. Those mini galettes were soooooo good! :cloud9:

Here is one of the sandwich trays.

teatimepics005.jpg








I decided to go with a slightly different dessert menu. Since I already had sweet potatoes and pecans, I decided to add other sweets that complemented those flavors. I made mini sweet potato cheesecakes, pecan tassies, mini chocolate cream puffs and gingersnaps. I really wanted to make some sort of scone or cake, but I didn't have enough time. I figured that I already had enough sweets.

Here is one of the dessert trays.

teatimepics008.jpg








And last, but certainly not least, here is my mini silicone rolling pin. :teeth: I love it. It's so cute!! It really came in handy when I was rolling out the dough for the mini galettes. I don't think that a regular-sized rolling pin would have worked out as well.

teatimepics004.jpg













We all ate, sipped ginger tea lemonade, and chatted to our hearts content. In short, we all had a really great time.​

Okay, it's 8am here and I think I could eat that entire tray of sweets!!! Do you have your recepie of the sweet potato cheesecake anywhere? I'm a huge sweet potato pie fan-- and a cheesecake fan-- I can only imagine what they would taste like!!!

Oh and you made my favorite thing- pecan tassies!

That settles it: Next time I really am coming over!! :rotfl:

Sounds perfectly wonderful!! Congrats on such a successful tea party!!! :banana:

It's Toon-a Tuesday!!


Feel free to post some cartoon clips (or anything that is reminiscent of your childhood) or any funny pictures that have to do with tuna.


Have a great day!!





Here are some animated and non-animated Sesame Street clips.​



















Oh I love these!!! This stuff makes me so happy :laughing:

Probably my favorite show to watch in the mornings before school (even when I was older :laughing:)

Stop having a boring tuna, stop having a boring life!

Happy Tuesday girls.

My day has gone better than yesterday, though this morning was a bit stressful. I had a lot of work to do today but I managed to get it finished by 2 and then took lunch. I fixed the whole Disney situation which took about 2 hours. Hopefully my clients are happy now. I'll find out Saturday when they come in. They were upgraded to Club Level which is a nice perk.

Then I had a CA trip to work on, in the midst of taking phone calls and walk in clients because my co-workers decided to go to lunch and leave me in our department by myself. Nice right? They do this often. I'm happy I'm going to Atlantic City tonight (I'm off tomorrow!) so I can blow off some steam. I need a cocktail.

Oh and there was an ice cream truck here and nobody told me! :mad: I saw JB walk by with ice cream and was like 'Where did you get that??' But he told the truck to come back everyday at a designated time. :thumbsup2 Smart cookie.

How's everyone's day?

How long are you going to AC for? Have fun!

We're in the process of moving to our new house so I'm not sure how much longer I'll have internet. :confused3

I think I'm getting a cold, but I can't tell. I wish I'd either get it or not get it. One or the other.

I'm glad today was better!!

How dare someone not inform you about the ice cream truck!! Well, you have to hand it to JB- he is a smart cookie! Hopefully you will get some ice cream soon.

YAY for having the day off tomorrow!! Enjoy yourself and relax! :cloud9:

Ugh that's the worst when you can't decide if you are getting sick or not. I certainly hope you aren't sick!! :hug:

I hope the moving goes well too! :wizard:

My day has been pretty good-- nothing too exciting. Went to school, we had standarized testing today so I didn't have to teach :banana: . Then went to Starbucks because I'm addicted to their ice tea and it's only $2.25 for the super big one (and no calories!). After that came home and worked on some wedding stuff, and figuring out if I want to go away for a 2 day mini-vacation with one of my sorority sisters--she wants to go to a Club Med resort.. anyone been??

Have a Happy Tuesday!

It's going. I'm exhausted. I just want to go to sleep.

I know!! I told our GM that he owes me a milkshake. I was going to send JB out for Cold Stone; ya know, the good stuff! :rotfl:

I have never been to a Club Med. I know a couple people who have been to Sandals. I'll ask around the office.


I'm bummed. I am a super huge U2 fan. They toured in 2005 and I saw them 4 times. They're touring this summer/fall and are coming to my area 9/24. I'll be in WDW. I know that's nothing to complain about but I don't wanna miss my boys! They were on Letterman all last week and I tivo-ed every single one. And when they were on GMA too. I was looking forward to it!! I hope they play another local date so I can see them!! My sister is bummed too cause I won't be going with her. We do a lot of concerts together. :headache:

At least they're coming to your area. They're not even coming to the West Coast (no, Las Vegas does NOT count at the West Coast). I'm so bummed. Every time I try to get tickets I can't and the one time I figured, maybe I'd have a chance, they're not even coming here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

I used to be a huge U2 fan, but now, I don't know, I'm pretty peeved at them. They're leaving half the country out.

We're staying at a Marriott near the boardwalk. Marriott hooks TAs up. I got the room for $50!

I really don't think that's going to be all the dates. I have a feeling there's more to come because a lot of the dates are overseas. I don't think they'd wait 4 years and then nix half the country out. They aren't playing Philadelphia at all, which is where I'm hoping I can go see them if they release more dates. I'm sure they'll be on the west coast too! Let's keep our fingers crossed.

I don't know... the dates I saw earlier seemed to go to the end of the year. I"m hoping that's not all of them... I"ll keep my fingers crossed. I'm hoping for Seattle. :thumbsup2
 
I think they're going to be in Vancouver. Isn't that a couple hours north of Seattle?

What dates did you see? I saw til the end of Oct.

I've got to go Honu! Bye!

Vancouver would be better for me, but the dates I saw did not include Vancouver.

I guess maybe it was only through October, the dates I saw, I'll have to go look again.
