My english catholic mother always cooked corned beef and cabbage for march 17th and ham on easter. i hated both meals. still do.

i am one of those weirdos that will eat chicken 8 days a week.

 

[keishashadow]

order a pizza.



buy some lettuce for a salad, that is green and buy beer.
tint your hair with green food coloring for the occasion

use green jello...it'll last until next st paddy's day (thank goodness my kids skipped that fad lol)

quick 'ello, jr wound up sleeping for 4 hours last night, had a cup of soup; went back to bed & i woke him up this morning @ 11:30 checking to see if he was still breathing...on the couch all day, managed to eat some ho-made chicken soup...starting to move around...them youngins bounce back quick like. Knew he was sick when he whipped out the nunchuk & tried to practice the Super Smash Bros & got dizzy-wound up quitting.

i'm not much of a beer drinker either (honestly ) when i don't want to drink alot i'll choose beer; fills me up so i usually only have 1 or 2...good of a strategy as any i suppose. Corona is #1 on my list, Landshark is very close ...and it reminds me of vacation . PS, while i despise Bud products; i've recently found Mr. Buffet's booze is bottled by them . Shocked the picture of me nursing my Landshark hasn't reared it's ugly head for the "newbies".

tricia - not sure what it was about that movie...hadn't read the book despite DH urging me to...such a surprise as to the gem it is!

have a great night all! got some cleaning done this am, yet tons more to go tomorrow...will check in before i start scrubbing down the walls.

I have english (UK) ancestry in me on my mothers side. I traced my mothers maiden name line back to the dude that immigrated in the 1700s. I have no catholic in me that I'm aware of, but who knows.

I do corned beef and cabbage for St Pats and ham (and a turkey) for Easter.

Does that make me normal, bad, or weird? I dunno. I just cook it and eat it cause I like it.

Or there is another option for you.

I'm glad your DS is doing some better.

You scrub your WALLS? Seriously? Oh my. I have to rethink my cleaning process.

 

[keishashadow]

i only truly clean when i have company coming

rest of the time i just "rid up"

i'm scarred from owning a cleaning company years ago and found myself "filling in" for the help more than i had expected have developed an adversion to it...wonder if there is a syndrome?

ps i've taken ALL my kids out of school thru graduation...imo learning is not restricted to the classroom. Of course, we had pre-approval and most work was done prior or ON vacation much to their dismay lol

Our spring break doesn't start until the end of the month. It's usually connected to Easter. I guess Easter is so early this year it threw everything off? I dunno.

Same here Tricia
Easter is what the 23rd of this month and our kids spring break starts the 31st

 

[KStarfish82]

I'm having Thurs/Fri and Mon/Tues surrounding Easter off and then starting April 18, we get another week for Passover. This only happens like once every 6 years.

That's our schedule. Starts the 31st, with a "teacher's workday" thrown in on the 28th... unless we have a (highly unlikely) snow day.

Helllooo people. I am totally PUI. Have been for the last hour or so. Don't know how it happened. Well, I mean, I know HOW it happened... duh... jhust that I didn't set out to get a good buzz on.

Anyway, I'm watching that horrible show on Fox where they ask life screwing personal questions and then do the truth or lie thing. Fascinating. Who would do that? It reminds me of Temptation Island, which I also watched. Itls even the same host. Hmmmmm.

So, I walked the dog in my pajamas earlier. It was still daylight. I live on a busy highway in a small town. That may not have been the smartest thing I've ever done.

I love you guys!

 

[loribell]

Well I will try from what I remember.

Penny - How did the interview go? I had everything crossed.

To those who are attempting to quit smoking, I am very proud of you and praying for you. Jodie same goes for Mike.

Also Jodie vacationing with my dad & sis this summer drove me nuts. We were either waiting for them from a smoke break or bathroom break.

Rose - I am so glad your dad got sprung. Do I remember correctly that your mom is feeling bad now? If so prayers for both of them. Hope Chrissy is feeling better. So sorry about the so called friend. Think you are better off without her.

Marcie - How is the finger? Happy birthday to Matt. And what a surprise that the girlfriend wa sick and Matt got it too!

Barb - Loved the Bubba story. Sounds like you may be stuck with the vaccuming from now on! Thanks so much for the cliff notes!

Patty - Welcome to the family. Sorry but I have probably cheered against you when Katie's boys were swimming against you. So has she told you we are crashing the wedding? It is gonna be fun!

Katie - Little sis invaded your territory, huh? And she gave you crap about us? What are we going to do with her???? Happy birthday to you Matt too!

Mary- Sorry about the incedent at school. I am glad they went easy on here. Personally I think the kid that brought them should have been the one that got in trouble. Sorry I missed your birthday. So you and dh are really liking the bed? That is great!

Sharon - Loved the pics, especially the pink one!

Janet - How is jr feeling today? Hope he is all bettter. No offense but I am going to Tricia's for Easter. Her weather is much better.

Tricia - Make room for us. We will be there next weekend. K? Sorry you had tummy trouble but you had a very sweet little boy to take care of you!

Mac - Hope everything is okay now, or at least better. Hawaii will be here soon. You sure you don't want me to go instead of Mr. Mac????

Wendy - Congrats on the continued success. Did you hit dh upside the head for forgetting to put your chicken on? Have fun with the grandbaby this weekend.

Tammie - Hope the back is feeling at least a little better. I'm not going to hug but I am thinking about you.

Fletch - Congrats on the continued weight loss. Great job on riding the bike to work.

DM - How many days till AD? On, and we are going to find you!

Tracie - How was your kidless night? Hope you enjoyed it!

Alison - No snow here. Can't believe you guys got so much. We had it forcasted for last Monday (2 -4 inches) and got nothing. They actually had the nerve to say it was going to happen again on Wednesday. Still nothing. Sunday in Albuquerque the weather lady said there was a snow storm over the city at that time. Funny thing is I had just come in from a bright, sunny, 40 degree day. I really don't think they even look to see what is going on.

If I forgot anyone I am very sorry. Things just aren't going as planned around here.

 

[marciemi]

No snow here! (Well, LOTS of left-over brown icky snow, but no new snow!). My mom just got back from her trip to visit my brother in SC and she talked about all the weather delays etc. on Saturday. I was like - it was fine here. The snow is slowly melting, but more like shriveling up in some spots. Just another 2 feet or so and we may see our lawn again!

We're off for the standard Easter break, but normally here the kids DON'T get Easter break (other than Friday) and get the third week of March off. This year they just made it the Easter week, but I think next year we're back to just 3rd week in March.

I went out shopping this evening and bought my corned beef and cabbage. I never make cabbage per se, but use the juice from the corned beef to make cabbage soup. Which I'm the only one who eats, but still! Darn it - I forgot to get bread to bake. Maybe I can buy fresh bread on Sunday instead! We're celebrating on March 16th instead since: 1. The Catholic church has asked us to celebrate early because the 17th falls during Holy Week, and 2. Royce will be out of town on Monday and Tuesday and will miss it!

I'm working on sending my friend my trip report installments from last summer. I think I have her convinced to go to Disney now (remember me asking you guys a bit back?). Anyways, she's enjoying reading the trip reports so maybe that'll convince her more!

 

[loribell]

Welcome to our other new homie - Pixeegrl! Glad you joined us.

Mike - Of course it was you I forgot again. Can someone please explain that to me? My son's name is Mike. How do I keep forgetting him. Anyway, the work schedule sounds awful. Glad you got the airfare taken care of. You are going to need a vacation.

Rose - I am so sorry. I just read back through and saw your dad is in the hospital. Glad they caught it. I'm praying for him, and you!

Thanks for making all us newbies feel welcome! I am reading through all the trip reports and hope I can write one as highly entertaining as those I have read!

 

[loribell]

Okay I am really getting mad. I have now tried to tell about my weekend 4 times! My pages keeps resetting on me and dumping everything I have typed. I am going to try one more time!

Now it was nothing exciting. Just a great weekend anyway with no kids!

Some strange things, at least to me. I never thought I would see a cactus growing beside a cedar tree. Or see snow on a cactus for that matter. How about snow on the southern mountains but not on the northern mountains? There were very few Mexican restaurants in Albuquerque???? In fact there weren't many restaurants at all.

So we left Friday morning at about 6:00. We pulled in to Albuqerque about 2:30 and checked in to our hotel. I actually pricelined it for the first time ever. We got a very nice room at a Comfort Inn for $30 a night! We then headed over to the convention center and set up our booth. It took about an hour and then we were free for the evening. We had good food at Applebee's but bad service.

We spent all day Saturday & Sunday at the convention center. We were there for World Wellness Weekend. It was by far the bast convention we have ever attended. The quality of people attending the convention were very concerned about their health and new what to expect. We made a lot of great contacts. We had a lot of people interested in our product and a lot of people interested in our business. There was a psychologist and a acupuncturist that want to join our business so they can refer people to us. People from other booths were sending people to us. It was unbelievable. We were both very pleased with the outcome.

I also got to have a nice free massage & a magical shoulder healing done. I could not believe how well it worked. I have been having problems with my left shoulder for 7 years now. I know the pain is not gone permanently but it is gone for now. I was hurting so bad Sunday before I had it done I was actually trying to determine if I was having a heart attack. My left arm was hurting all the way down and my fingers were numb. I sat down and the lady rubbed my back lightly then went straight to that shoulder. It was wonderful.

I wish we would have had time to hear some of the speakers but we were swamped. And that was much better!

Saturday evening we ate at Applebee's again. It was all we could really find that didn't have an hour long wait or more. Guess Friday's service wasn't too bad cause Saturday's was much worse! Sunday evening the hotel directed us to a small Mexican restaurant. It was fabulous! They had some very hot salsa! Wonderful, fun waiter too!

We got up Monday morning and headed home. We got home in time to head to Mikey's ball game.

So that was my weekend. Nothing exciting but good for us. And best of all I got away without any kids for the first time in over a year!!!!!!

I bet you are all glad you waited for that!

 

[yankeepenny]

so tricia is off her rocker, eh?

Marcie- lots of folks here are NOT happy as the bishop said no celebrating next week during holy week. meanwhile bars and taverns and restaurants are like , this is money for us, we are doing it.

i remember holy week in the 70's. NOTHING was done then, not even funerals. i remember Easter getting closer when Mum made her hot cross buns on Holy Thursday or Good Friday morning. all banks and schools either closed or let out early that day, and EVERYONE went to mass at 3pm.
I also remember her complaining about paying 10 cents more a dozen for white eggs,for coloring and it was the only time of the year she bought white, we always had brown. I bought white once. I felt guilty , and only did it once!

 

[yankeepenny]

I finished the 3rd book in the twilight series.

the fourth book comes out after july sometime.

it was good. very good.

excellent recommendation Marcie!

 

[yankeepenny]

Loribell, I spent a week with DH and his family visiting in Albuquerque and Santa Fe years ago. The best d@mn mexican food I ever ate was in that state.
It was a fantastic place to visit , and is on my to do again list.


for an alternative to Disney next year, the year we move, i priced out a few cruises. for those prices, we can stay at a deluxe Dis resort and do the meal plan and.......
anyway, you can probably tell which i am aiming for. seriously. i really liked the beach club. i knew it the nite we went over from the swolphin for dinner. DH liked it too. just not the 305 a nite prices. i also want a private jet and part ownership in the Yankees, and neither is happening in my lifetime.

 

[dolPhinlovEr83]

Patty - Welcome to the family. Sorry but I have probably cheered against you when Katie's boys were swimming against you. So has she told you we are crashing the wedding? It is gonna be fun!

No prob about cheering against my boys...just don't let it happen again Hehe Anyway, awesome for crashing the wedding!! I'm the MOH, oh and best of all, if Matt can't go for the tasting, guess who's next in line...oh yes, that would be ME!!!

Hello everyone!

Checking in for the evening....

Would like to get a free haircut at Supercuts, too bad I just got home from work now. Oh wait, Katie, who introduced you to this deal?? "Ehem"

Oh no, I was told I couldn't copy her new ticker! I wonder if that also stands for not copying her messages
