Something About Nothing #3..........

[AlexandNessa]

Good morning.

I just came on to say hi, hello, I'm alive, and thinking about all of you.

I just finished up my midnight tour for the weekend. I start again Monday night. I need to go take a nap as I promised my most handsome now smoke-free husband that we'd go to Happy Hour this afternoon as we haven't had a weekend off together in weeks.

My demon cat eats popcorn. She doesn't just play with it. She eats it. What kind of cat eats popcorn? Doesn't just eat it, goes batty over it and inhales it? Popcorn. And pasta. Stupid cat. I can see her going batty when we give her shrimp ... but popcorn and pasta? Weirdo.

Off to watch the finale of the Celebrity Apprentice I taped. Hoping that will make me fall asleep or at least nap. Anyone watch that? I only started watching after Omarosa got fired, but I promised a colleague I would watch.

P.S. Who watched the Xavier/WVU game last night? I'm sorry, Jennifer. It was a great game, but I'm sorry WVU lost in OT.

Keeping fingers crossed for Nova tonight

Sorry to hear about Carol, Tricia!!!


Don't have to go to school tomorrow because I'm going to a conference

Yippee!!!

Happy Friday everyone!

in service day? enjoy, get smart-er

Problem with my

You see a 'glow'??? What happened to 'golden bronze goddess' ?

I'm starting a secret society, ala the knights templar; shall dub it the SFPON - Society for Protection of Nanners; poor 'lil things...it's fruit profiling i tell you

the golden goddess hasn't had her hair cut/colored & only tanned once since end of November...typical Christmas austerity program ..i've got roots...evidently, the random grey hairs are keeping me from looking like a skunk

DH = Prime Beef on the hoof to serve man

I also go by Robbie, or Rob. Just don't call me Bob, I don't like having to clean up the blood. I also go by Sebastian or Sebbie, but that has to do more with high school German class.

So it's Bob...anyway you spell it? sorry, couldn't resist

note to self: just call him "sir"

i believe i'm a marked woman; shall look for the giant smilie

*lets dog in*

*grabs cat*

To sleepyland!

did the cat want to be grabbed?

Good morning and happy Friday!

BTW...I got stuck in the elevator at work with three others this morning.

hope they all smelled good

me, me, me...i never heard of Trace Adkins before the show ; marilu henner is not quite "right"-rather spazy imo

congrats to the new & improved hubby get him drunk & have your way with him

Tricia - don't give up, think of it as a bad blip; we're all pulling for you

Lori - sorry to hear your temp dropped by half (really i am); still in the mid 40's here - almost froze @ DSs tennis match earlier in the week. Another today if it stops drizzling...brrr. A double header? You must have lights on the field ; our league only has them on the little leage field.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!


Now, I know that you all know I am NOT a morning person....so, why so happy you ask??? Well....first, short work day today Bubba has midterm karate test tonite, so I'm gettin' done work around 5

Second, I'm going to pay off our cruise today!

Third, found out last night that our tax return takes care of our whole vacation...not just the cruise, but our whole vacation.... (with some leftover )

This is really good news, because I really wasn't sure if we'd owe, or get some back! See, you guys don't know this (cuz the 'house' wasn't dun being built yet) that in Nov. 2006 I made a very risky move changing salons. I didn't know how it would affect me financially, but apparently my bold move paid off....record tax return! So, DH is relieved and so very happy......now he wants to shop for a big, no, scratch that, a huge new tv I dunno....we'll see.....money must be spent on vacation first

Anyhow...to all those who have the weekend off: It's Friday! Enjoy payday!

you gave us a hint!!

i was thinkin' the exact same thing!

Friday!!!

Not a good day thus far Fletch?? Not even a 'mornin' ' for ya? Just a "Friday"?

YEA!!!!! And tonite is my last midnite shift!!! I'm so happy to be off of that shift. I'm a nurse and 3rd shift is very tiring. Well, everyone have a great FRIDAY!!!

My friend is a nurse....I agree 3rd shift may be a bit 'quieter', but it's 10x more tiring But, you have an honorable job...takin' care of sick people...I couldn't do it btw, do you have another name you'd like us to call you...or is Thatch or JS okay?

Good morning and happy Friday!

BTW...I got stuck in the elevator at work with three others this morning.

Any of 'em important or cute? How long were ya stuck? (Too bad not the entire day? You'd been one of the first OUT the door at the end of the day )

Good Morning Homies and Yeah Friday

Lawrence ....feelin' any better today?

I just finished up my midnight tour for the weekend. I start again Monday night. I need to go take a nap as I promised my most handsome now smoke-free husband that we'd go to Happy Hour this afternoon as we haven't had a weekend off together in weeks.

off together for weekend
smokeless!!! (How is he doing? He's not grouchy, is he?? He'd better not be! ) Tell him I am extremely proud of him!!! Way to go Mike

My demon cat eats popcorn. She doesn't just play with it. She eats it. What kind of cat eats popcorn? Doesn't just eat it, goes batty over it and inhales it? Popcorn. And pasta. Stupid cat. I can see her going batty when we give her shrimp ... but popcorn and pasta? Weirdo.

YOUR kind of cat eats popcorn!! Altho I'm sure not too healthy....still funny! Are you sure she's not part "dog"



Are her and Alex any better buds these days??? Don't worry...she'll calm down eventually..... Hey...look on the bright side: at least she's social and fun to be around, unlike my dummy who hated people and ran from everything/one (well, everyone but ME of course!)

Jodie, forgot to mention: I don't watch CA or the bball.....what I DID learn last nite was that Tammy's Tarheels are North Carolina (right?) and I picked them all the way to the end....or coming in 2nd at the Finals (can't remember)....So, guess I'm rootin' for Heels too?? (How blonde is THAT?? Didn't even know it? )

Great News about your tax return Barb and I am feeling a little better and guess it won't be until we get on the plane in July when I feel really good

You may call me your "Exhaulted 'Nanner Keeper"

i've been procrastinating for 4 months, why break my record now?

Congrats on paying off the cruise, i'm jealous...it'll be a week beforehand for us...not that much since it's a meager 3 day affair...still just can't bring myself to give them the $ ahead of time; even if i had the money...squeezing the interest of funds i suppose...probably a whopping quarter or so each month

Great News about your tax return Barb and I am feeling a little better and guess it won't be until we get on the plane in July when I feel really good

you get by with a little help from your friends

off to buy wood for entertainment unit DH is supposed to start today & hopefully finish sometime this century (think that's why we get along so well-birds of a procrastinating feather).

Jennifer - forgot to comment on WVU, way to hang in there so long; better luck next year?

Penny - looking forward to updates on racing & BB this week ; so glad you post it...i have yet to figure out how to check the standings on ESPN one - d'oh.

 

[Metro West]

hope they all smelled good

Yes but that's a scary thought!

Any of 'em important or cute? How long were ya stuck? (Too bad not the entire day? You'd been one of the first OUT the door at the end of the day

None were important or cute...we were stuck for about 20 mins. You KNOW I would have been the first one out the door if it was quittin time. Forget the "ladies first" crap...all's fair in love, war and elevator evacuations.

i've been procrastinating for 4 months, why break my record now?

because some salons actually charge you MORE money if you have longer roots to take care of.... Longer roots = more product & time = more money (at least, I charge more)

Congrats on paying off the cruise, i'm jealous...it'll be a week beforehand for us...

I HAVE to have it paid in full by Tues, April 1st (no joke)....so, letting it go a week beforehand isn't going to cut it for me

off to buy wood for entertainment unit DH is supposed to start today & hopefully finish sometime this century

Good luck! That is MY condition of new tv...wall mounted w/ new ent. center around it.... haveta put all my family pix somewhere now...don't I? My DH is a procrastinator too...but, with the nice weather coming around the corner, maybe he'll be inspired

Great News about your tax return Barb and I am feeling a little better and guess it won't be until we get on the plane in July when I feel really good

Thank you and CONGRATS on breaking into double digit days!!

You KNOW I would have been the first one out the door if it was quittin time. Forget the "ladies first" crap...all's fair in love, war and elevator evacuations.

...I'm shocked! I pegged you for the perfect gentleman..... was I wrong?

See loosing my mind and just noticed that when you mentioned it

 

[ky07]

Tell you guys how bad things get with your kids when they hit teenage years .
My DS 16 wanted to go with friend to Orlando to go to WrestleMania and of course the only one he half way listens to is DW and she told him he could and finnally I gave in and that is this Sunday and was told they where leaving right after school today and learned last night that he was spending the night with his friend and thought it made sense but what I didn't see coming was that he didn't go to school and they headed out to Orlando last night and DW says I am getting upset over nothing and yet his grades are bad and missing a day of school is not helping.
So my question is am I right to get upset or should I just keep my mouth shut like a good little boy

 

[bubba's mom]

I would be mad Lawrence. First, now this is only MY opinion, he's lucky he even gets to go....especially with grades that aren't good. Second, he lied. He flat out lied to you.....that is not acceptable in our home.

Bubba knows to fess up if he done wrong...he also knows (the hard way) that if he lies about it instead, it's a million times worse.

For instance, when he was younger, he told us a lie. Instead of the punishment being for the weekend, it was 2 weeks because he lied. He learned from that mistake....He learned that 'yes', he is still in trouble for what he did wrong, but the ramifications are worse if he lies about it

Telling lies in this house is not acceptable, and I think he gets that....we often remind him, if he doesn't do anything wrong in the first place, he doesn't have to lie to keep out of trouble....duh....

So, no, I don't think you're wrong to be upset and at the very least, he needs to know how upset you are about this (even if it does go in one ear and out the other)... you are his parent, not his doormat! ....if he was a good kid with great grades, maybe not so much....but, from what you tell us, I don't think he deserved/earned the right to skip skool and go. Does the other parent know they did this? OR did the other kid tell his parents he was staying at YOUR house last night? (Ya know...the ole 'switch-er-ooo?)

Don't worry....there are no perfect parents and it's not easy to parent....if it were, everyone would do it and they would do it well!

 

[RVGal]

Morning!

Joshua slept well last night and ate half a biscuit (w/ honey) for breakfast this morning. He's had his meds and seems to be doing okay. I'll feel better when he is eating and acting completely normal again, but we seem to be moving in that direction so I try not to worry.

Carol had more blood tests this morning and they are moving her to a private room. She's been in a semi-private all this time. If they are moving her, I'm assuming they plan to keep her for awhile. Sigh.

I've read everything, but I don't think I can remember enough to respond.

Lawrence, I'd say that NOT KNOWING that your son was going to miss a day of school is something to get upset over. If it was a planned thing and he simply didn't tell you so that he could sneak out a day early... yeah... I'd have a problem with that.

 

[damo]

The kids have to earn your trust and you need to let him know that Lawrence. Keeping things from you does not allow you to trust him. I must say that I was very very fortunate and my kids never got into any trouble. Sure they caused me some worry but they both have a lot of common sense. You really have to pick your battles as well. Some things are just not worth getting upset about. It sounds like your son really doesn't like school and perhaps just needs to grow up a bit. He sounds very typical to me but I'm sure you want him to get an education or training of some sort and make sure he can support himself in a nice manner.



Everyone should take a look at the new Simpsons photos!!!

I've been watching the Citrus Bowl being prepared for this weekend all week now. This morning they had ALL the lights on with the search lights and strobes...it was pretty cool looking at 6am.

I WOULD BEAT THAT CHILD >>>>Ok may be not but I am going throught the teen years too . is my thought on the whole mess but anyway DD is 16 this May and DD number two will be 13 this april . I am not happy with DD16 because of the Dating thing . I hate to say no but am always worried when they go out even in groups which is all they are allowed to do anyway .Fibbing is something my DD almost 13 found out about the hard way . She lied about a myspace page so now she has to go on the computer with me around ONLY and this was after the school thing with the cell phone that we took away for a month. So yeah his grades are not so good and he lied I think he needs some sort of punishment when he returns . I pick so many battles some are more inportant then others but SCHOOL to us is the most important thing so not doing well and then missing to go away is UNCOOL and punishable in this house .


Ok off to the last set of stores today . Need to get a 8x10 frame in espresso , need clay to finish a school project and I need to get some kind of small scrap book for our pictures from like I am guessing 3 or 4 years ago . Me and DH went to Aruba and I really want to scrap them now that I started to scrap more and more . Ok gotta run . Ck in later to see the homies .

Yeah - but what you should be doing is checking out Ellen and seeing if those stinking walls are down at the Simpsons ride yet ......sheesh......forget about being stuck in elevators and working!!
