How a cat can sit with glasses on, is always amazing to me
2009
2019
Either year works for me when it has cat pics in it


Bobbie
Hope you headache is gone before you have to pick up the teens
4 years of their friendship is something to celebrate


Carole
Drop in company is always the best
Always fun to see friends

Hope your daughter gets her acceptance letter from the college she has her heart on


Monyk
It is too soon to talk about diets


I know I am missing some of the homies here...
Hope all are having a laid back relaxing evening

 

[Lynne G]

This is when little one thought older one could give her a piggy back ride. They never learn. LOL

Back home, with lots of left overs, and ready for a quiet night.

Patty, glad you have one more night with the kids. I hear ya with all the sweets around.

Bobbie, hope your headache is gone for good. Yeah, I have to say, nice and scary at the same time when kids drive themselves. Hard to believe it has been over a year since little one has taken the car herself.

Mac, hope 2019 is a much healthier year for you, and are enjoying coffee again.

Happy New Year SAN Famz.
A bit Bummed here. Starting out 2019 the same way I started out 2018...Sick! Not the flu this time though...(hopefully)...just a bad cough-n-cold. ...but miserable to the nth degree. Silver lining though...we aren't incredibly busy with work. Just a few jobs to print, but still frustrating. Can't even get excited about planning trips right now.

Happy new year to you too buckeev.........

I sympathise!!

I was just getting rid of what I had and beginning to feel better from flu........started getting earache last night and now it’s 2am and I’m wide awake with what Tom had!! Sore throat, but nose is the worst and just can’t lay down if I want to breathe!! Bad cold.

Which is why I’m on my iPad at 2am. This is now over 3 weeks we’ve been bad. I hate feeling poorly. So, glad work isn’t too busy for you......that helps a bit. And you can get excited for your trip when you feel better........

Guess I’ve been socialising too much!


Love the picture Lynne!! Your daughter is so like you.....

Yep, it's a Wednesday, and thankful, not wet today, as car said roads may be icy. Why yes, that lovely 60 degree day is gone, and the cooler air remains. Sweater ready, and second cup of tea. Happy though, annoying extra slow driver went straight, I did not, but commute had little traffic. Guess some kids did not go back to school today. Little one does.

Buckeev, sending lots of well wishes. Not fun to be sick any time of the year. Hope you feel better soon, and thoughts of vacation pops in your head. Mummy dust sent, it does wonders. LOL

Patty, hope the quiet house is plotting and scheming Florida trips in this new year. Hope your coffee is hot, and the kids all have safe travel.

With that, I need tea. Have a wonderful, Wednesday, homies. Welcome to the second day of 2019.

 

[Lynne G]

And Schumi, eek, sick bay is still open? Also sending lots of well wishes and mummy dust. No more up at 2am, well, unless you are having a fabulous time.

 

[schumigirl]

Thanks for the well wishes Patty and Lynne.........

Turns out it wasn’t earache........ended up with emergency appointment with my dentist this morning.......was in absolute agony from around 6am. Tom called and they fitted me in.......what a relief. Opened the tooth up and I need a root treatment.......but, once the residual ache eases should be pain free........appointment has been made.

What a few days!!!

Now pain has gone, of course I’m starving.......haven’t eaten since 6pm last night......but have to wait for a couple of hours.....



Glad your commute wasn’t too bad Lynne....driving this time of year can be awful at times....think the schools here go back Monday.

Plan to snooze this afternoon to make up for not sleeping last night.....and we have started removing some decorations and the good decorations off the trees.....no outdoor stuff today as it is so cold and damp outside.....

Have a great Wednesday.........

 

[Charade67]

Good morning. A quick post before I head out to work.

Get well wishes for Buckeev.

Schumi - glad to hear you aren’t sick again, but sorry about the tooth. A nap in the afternoon is a great idea.

Both B and dh have dental appointments this morning. B was not happy with me for scheduling one so early in the morning.

Gotta run.

 

[tink1957]

Good morning

Glad to hear that you're feeling better Carole not a good way to start the new year but happy it wasn't the flu bug again.

Buck....hope you are on the mend soon

Just a heads up for anyone wanting to book free dining for the fall at WDW. It's available to book now, 3 months earlier than usual for July 5 through September 30. We're only going for 2 nights at the most so it's not for us.

I finally have 2 days off so I plan to relax today and continue our GoT marathon...may get around to doing housework tomorrow

Have a wonderful day everyone

 

[bobbie68]

Good morning SANS...I agree our temps have dropped here but I will still take it. We are in for a storm this weekend we will get lucky as our temps will be warm enough to keep it rain.

Thanks Lynne, Patty and Mac on the headache well wishes. It is better this morning. I slept with an ice pack to help reduce the swelling and cheated and took some sleep aids. I know a lot of it is fatigue headaches so sleep and ice help.

Schumi glad that you are starting to feel better now. I am glad that your trip to Scotland was very nice. It sounds like a nice party you had back home with lots of friends. It will help pass the time till your next great trip

Tink I hope you have a nice 2 days off and get to relax. Thanks for the heads up on the dining plan. We are only there for one night so it won't work for us!

Charade I hope the dentists visits go well and get good reports. I try to schedule Liv in the afternoon.

Patty I hope you had a nice last night with the kids! I am sure planning your next trip down there will help ease the sadness of missing them.

Buckeev I hope you are feeling better soon and have a better start to the new year. It is never fun to be sick so long!

Lynne Love the pic of the kids with the piggy back! Only it reminds me of when Liv thought it would be okay for me to try and give her one...The old body didn't hold up well .

I hope the rest of the Sans family has a great hump day!! I am off to get my hair cut!

 

[pattyw]

Patty, hope the quiet house is plotting and scheming Florida trips in this new year. Hope your coffee is hot, and the kids all have safe travel.

Good idea, Lynne!! Have to get at that trip planning!! Makes the cold winter more bearable!

Now pain has gone, of course I’m starving.......haven’t eaten since 6pm last night......but have to wait for a couple of hours.....

Glad you're on the mend! Wonderful the dentist could see you this morning!

Both B and dh have dental appointments this morning. B was not happy with me for scheduling one so early in the morning.

Yep- same problem when I used to schedule for the boys. They want to sleep as long as they can!

I finally have 2 days off so I plan to relax today and continue our GoT marathon...may get around to doing housework tomorrow

Enjoy your days off!! Housework can wait!

It is better this morning. I slept with an ice pack to help reduce the swelling and cheated and took some sleep aids. I know a lot of it is fatigue headaches so sleep and ice help.

Glad you're better! Take it easy!

Patty I hope you had a nice last night with the kids! I am sure planning your next trip down there will help ease the sadness of missing them.

Thanks, Bobbie! We had a nice dinner out last night! They were all busy packing this morning when I left for work! Yep- getting my calendar out this evening to get some trips planned!!

Have a great Wednesday all! Seems like Monday to me- 3 day work week!

 

[keishashadow]

Long day, first time in a bit I had to beat the dawn and wake up @ 3:30 am to uber my DS to work. Separates the real women from the chicks lol

Had to wake up GD after 8:30 am, a rarity. So congested with a horrid cough. She hasn’t been quite right for last few weeks. Similarities to how she was right before the pneunomia go-round mid Oct. wound up consulting with her mom & taking her to pediatrician. Wound up hedging his bets diagnosing sinus infection but a chest X-ray JIK. Off to another site for that. Really appreciate they were so comforting to her and quick read of the film, clear - yea. Just that nasty augmentim (sp). It really is horrible tasting stuff. Told her mom to add strawberry ice cream syrup to it, always worked for me.

RIP mean gene of the wwf

She’s alive! Keisha, good to see ya post. Yep, back to routine does bring some comfort, or like me, decided to go on vacation next week, before that comfort starts in earnest. Though we like January and February, every so often, a Federal holiday. Then there is a long drawl until Memorial Day. For almost 6 months, a holiday every few weeks, starting in September.

Little one cannot believe she is now more than halfway to graduation. While I think she is now choosing the large, semi public university, the out of town one is still in the running. She goes beck and forth. I think the local private university is now not as interesting, but I don’t ask her much, yet.

Lovely, quite windy day. Present wrapped, eggs and bacon, and mashed taters made for brunch. And I am still hungry. Oooh, some chocolate bought at 90 percent off yesterday. Should not let it go bad.

Enjoy this NewYear’s Day.

Thanks. Where are we going? . Always nice to have a trip to look forward to after the holidays. Jan & feb drag soooo

Happy New Year to all my friends here!!

Miserable cold, take a little nip of something

I saw that today, did a dummy pricing. Seriously, i just can’t get over how expensive rack rates are @ WDW. I did see there is also a general public discount on room only, don’t think the APH rate goes quite that far out yet.

I priced the ‘up to 40% off’ rates for 6/29 & 6/30 as a placeholder, JIK we don’t do 2 days at U, pre-WDW trip in July. 2 nights at a sports standard room close to $300. In whose mind is that ‘a sale’?

 

[Monykalyn]

Hey all!
Lots of sickbays around, including here. Hope all are feeling better soon. Seems to be the time for the really icky colds!
We are all back to work/school tomorrow. Not ready, but guess I gotta work if I wanna play (and eat).
Think I'd rather be counting down to a cruise vs Las vegas in couple weeks.
Lazy day-needed actually. At least short work week

You rock Keisha!
Hope GD feels better soon!

Hope you're better soon!!

To everyone feeling under the weather:

Hope everyone has a peaceful and restful evening!!

 

[Charade67]

This has been a day. I knew it would be a little busy after being off for several days, but today the phone didn’t stop ringing. I think everyone’s New Years resolution was to get therapy. I also spent part of the day trying to figure out how to use our new copier. The “manual” was useless. I’ve had our copier rep out twice today and we still couldn’t get it to print properly. Hopefully we will get it working tomorrow.
I also had probably the strangest phone call I’ve taken since working there (and I once got drunk called by a client). I answered the phone like I usually do:
Counseling Office. This is [my name] how may I help you?
caller: Hello?
Me (louder): Counseling office. This is [my name] how may I help you?
Caller: [my name]?........I don’t like that name.
Me (thinking he is joking): Well, that’s the name I’m stuck with.
Silence
Me: Hello?
Silence
Me: Sir, are you still there?
Silence
I hung up the phone.
I have no idea what that was all about.

Charade I hope the dentists visits go well and get good reports. I try to schedule Liv in the afternoon.

Thanks. B had a great visit as usual. Dh ha to go back tomorrow to repair a lose crown. I usually schedule B’s visits for after school, but somehow she didn’t get scheduled at her last visit. Since they had and opening for the same morning dh was going I decided to take it. I suppose since she is 18 now I should have her start scheduling her own appointments.

Have a great Wednesday all! Seems like Monday to me- 3 day work week!

Today was my Monday (and it felt like it too) and tomorrow is my Friday. Hopefully tomorrow won’t be as stressful.

Get well wishes to everyone who is sick right now.

You could go watch the pirate ship show @ treasure island on the stripto get your sea legs. JK. I enjoy vegas, maybe a bit too much. It’s been two years, need to work it in sooner vs later!

Nearly every family I know in our area has sickies. We still haven’t got a hard enough frost to freeze the ground solid here. Had our share of cold weather but then more than a few warm days & repeat. So much rain though, the ground like a sponge. Can’t believe I’m saying it but think we reallly need a long, cold snap to kill off all the germs.

 

[Sue M]

New Year’s Day was quiet around here! Took dogs for a walk, had a hot tub, and just vegged all day. Today my daughter came over and helped me take down the tree and decorations. Hubs took down outside lights. Other daughter went back to work (daycare).

Almost ready to start the New Years diet, gulp. But first must finish up all the cookies and chocolates! When I was working, I’d bring things to school to get them out of the house. Just had to set it on the counter in the office by the coffee maker and it disappeared! On the 1st it was officially my 1 year retirement anniversary!

Tomorrow cable guy is coming to hopefully fix or replace rec room tv cable box. Then doctor appt.
Storm moving in. Either rain or snow depending on your elevation. Right now it’s freezing rain

Next week it’s youngest dds birthday. 29 Where do the years go? We are celebrating on Monday, because on the day she has evening classes. Waiting to hear if her bff and fiancé are coming too. Fiancé has his birthday on the same date!

 

[Sue M]

I hope everyone is feeling better soon. So many sick everywhere. Several friends and my brother in law have this awful bug making the rounds here too.

Keishashadow I agree, WDW rack rates are getting crazy.

Charade that is a crazy phone call! I was the receptionist at a high school and I’ve had some crazy calls!

Schumi. Ugh, dental pain is awful. Glad it was taken care of.

 

[Monykalyn]

You could go watch the pirate ship show @ treasure island on the stripto get your sea legs. JK. I enjoy vegas, maybe a bit too much. It’s been two years, need to work it in sooner vs later!

lol! I haven’t actually seen that show! It was dark the first year we went, and just didn’t bother last couple times. It’s been 4? Years I think since we’ve been back. I do love the Bellagio and conservatory there, and will probably do the High Roller happy hour.

Kids are feeling better, DH and I are “bleh” with headaches but that’s it.

So cold here today, up to 60 by Saturday. Will take decorations down then.

MiL going to Puerto Vallarta in couple weeks for their annual 3 week stay. Trying to convince her to move weeks up a bit in 2020 and the whole family could do Christmas on the beach- 2 graduations that year too...they own at the resort so could get a couple 2 bedrooms...always planting the seeds for warm weather vacations

Charade that is a weird phone call!

Ugh dental stuff. Need to schedule our appointments in a few months.
