[Shugardrawers]

I can't get moving and I have too dang much to do! Here's today's agenda:

Go see the nazi witch PT
go to the bank
go to the pawn shop and pick up the little green clean machine that was in the window (I need it so BAD!!)
find the place to pay the gas bill
go to the pet store and get cat food
go to the grocery and get the makings for banana bread, zuchini bread and chocolate chip cookies
come home and make said banana bread, zuchini bread and chocolate chip cookies

And I can't take a pain pill until I get home because I have to drive myself.

Shug why are you doing all of that baking? Take it easy lady!

 

[Shugardrawers]

Dh's boss got a promotion. A replacement has already been found but Dh is really bucking for a promotion and his boss is on the comittee to do it. Also, he's just a really nice guy. So I'm making him a going away basket of some of his favorite goodies I've baked.

 

[LiteBrite]

Aww, Shug, sounds like a good idea, but as soon as you can, get some rest and take your meds. It sucks that you can't have pain relief and function (or at least drive) at the same time!

What does Love mean?

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."

Rebecca - age 8
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."

Billy - age 4
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."

Karl - age 5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French Fries without making them give you any of theirs."

Chrissy - age 6
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."

Terri - age 4
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."

Danny - age 7
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss"

Emily - age 8
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."

Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"

Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."

Noelle - age 7
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."

Tommy - age 6 (Truth!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."

Cindy - age 8
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."

Clare - age 6
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."

Elaine-age 5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."

Chris - age 7
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."

Mary Ann - age 4
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."

Lauren - age 4
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." (what an image)

Karen - age 7
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."

Mark - age 6
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it alot. People forget."

Jessica - age 8
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry".

Good Morning everyone!

Thank you for the laughs. I have a busy, busy day ahead of me and at this point I think I'm going to have to pick and chose what I actually get done. The list of possible errands include: birthday shopping for my new SIL (I love her, but she is very very picky, which amazes me since she married my brother ), return a dress to Dillards that made me feel like a mashmellow, return two shirts to Old Navy that didn't fit my DH's sense of style (7 years of being married and I still question what that is sometimes), a stop at Target to pick up the new Animaniacs DVD (that is DH's style I guess), stop at the bank for a check for the guy who is putting in an RV pad by our driveway (we have no RV, but please don't worry yourself about that small detail- so my DH says), Swimming lessons, and we have a neighborhood BBQ at 6pm tonight so I'm making a Cowboy salsa (Get along little doggie).
I have all these things to get done and what I really want to do is grab a Coke and sit on my butt all day long .

 

[Briarmom]

Alert! I must re-vamp my 'list' of people I get to sleep with!
Although, to be fair, JC, Justin Timberlake, AND Lance Bass were all rolled in to one...
I will take suggestions.

Well let me see the full list and I'll give suggestions from there . Did you get your dresses from Anthropologie yet?

POSITION:
Mother, Mom, Mama, Mommy, Ma, Momma

JOB DESCRIPTION:
Long term, team players needed, for challenging permanent work in an,
often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent
communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable
hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour
shifts on call. Some overnight travel required, including trips to
primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments
in far away cities. Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier
duties also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
The rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated, at least
temporarily, until someone needs $5. Must be willing to bite tongue
repeatedly. Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and
be able to go fr om zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this
time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf.
Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small
gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. Must
screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of
multiple homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize
social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be
willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next. Must
handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap,
plastic toys, and battery operated devices.. Must always hope for the
best but be prepared for the worst. Must assume final, complete
accountability for the quality of the end product. Responsibilities also
include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.

POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION:
Virtually none. Your job is to remain in the same position for years,
without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so
that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE:
None required unfortunately. On-the-job training offered on a
continually exhausting basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION:
Get this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon
payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college
will help them become financially independent. When you die, you give
them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme
is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.

BENEFITS:
While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition
reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this
job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs
for life.

But didn't you hear? Lance Bass is gay. So that would be like sleeping with a girl.

As long as your list doesn't include my two dudes (Colin Firth, and Joey), it's all good, Briarmom!

OK, off to art class. Be back in a bit. I may have to stop for a Starbucks on my way home....

Let me know which one works for you. I haven't had a chance to go shopping for myself in such a long time that I'm living through you.

 

[redshoes]

BB- I miss the cow, not that you should care I just thought I would mention that I miss the cow (said in my best whining voice).

 

[bigmerle1966]

Allright, I'm off to the gym. Pray for me, I haven't been there in about 6 months.

 

[ChuckB]

Two Scottish nuns have just arrived in USA by boat and one says to the
other, "I hear that the people of this country actually eat dogs."

"Odd," her companion replies, "but if we shall live in America, we might
as well do as the Americans do."

Nodding emphatically, the mother superior points to a hot dog vendor and
they both walk towards the cart.

"Two dogs, please," says one. The vendor is only too pleased to oblige
and he wraps both hot dogs in foil and hands them over the counter.

Excited, the nuns hurry over to a bench and begin to unwrap their
'dogs.' The mother superior is first to open hers. She begins to blush
and then, staring at it for a moment, leans over to the other nun and
whispers cautiously, "Er... What part of the dog did you get?"

 

[redshoes]

Allright, I'm off to the gym. Pray for me, I haven't been there in about 6 months.

Good Luck at the gym.

And I'm off to try and get something done today- I'm a little overwhelmed. Have a great day, everyone.
