[macraven]

server error messages finally, quick fly-by hi!

ds was on way out the door when we bolted for Bathroom, yuck...back in bed...i should clean...don't want to...slacker

i cannot believe how much my youngest DS has grown in 2 years!

oh janet, you are so beautiful.....
that is a nice picture of you and son.

when i am at disney, i am strickly a donald man.
his personality fits the males in my family.
no mickey for me....

you should have let your son go to school and puke as he entered the building. nothing like a grand entrance for admin to realize when kids are sick........hope he feels better soon.

Great picture Janet!!! Hope DS is feeling better soon no fun being sick

I am with you on the cleaning - should be doing lots of it but got a whacky schedule today mid bean gets out at 11:45 and lil bean goes in for regular afternoon K at 12:15. Have to go back and do the mid year conferences for mid bean at 2:10, pick up lil bean at 3:15 and his conf is at 3:20 - thank goodness there isn't baseball or softball tonight. Plus I am now waiting for R&F to redeliver cbean's mirror (it was broke) and have a few other things like laundry that need to be taken care of.......grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........not enough hours in the day.

i used to have days like that.
busy every minute with kids in different skools and directions...
i feel your pain.

Hoping they fly by fer ya!!!! just think of today as another day closer to vacation




Latching on to this to say Get Well Soon









Jim always needs the internet a few days during vacation. We usually get it for 2 or 3 days and expense it because he needs it for work So hopefully I will be able to check in while away See you around later mac, have a great day!!




I guess then that I can ask for one when they take us from the HRH to the Holiday Inn Express at the airport. We have a room with a kitchenette there and would be nice to make something for dinner as we are in the area where there are not alot of restaurants. Do I have to set that up now or can I wait until they pick us up on day 1??

august is a very busy time for williamsburg.......
summers are brutal as families all hit the road then.
or whenever skool is out.

tracie - thanx, it just popped out of photobucket this am lol

sounds like u have a busy day! I hate teacher conferences ; i get intimidated because they are smrt and i am not

when i reported Ds off this am (only 2nd day missed this year...vacations don't count in my book )...i got "oooooh... , sick again?" (no, he's going to stay home to fetch me my beers outta the fridge while i start getting smashed early away i go, bbl

don't let them think you're falling for that old teachers are smarter crap than real people.
i have sat on both sides of that teacher desk...........i know better.

i thought you were teaching him the art of bartending the mixed drinks not beer?

welcome to wack job weather maine again.
sunny today, rain and snow friday and rain and snow sunday.
but sunday, the track of the storm may miss us. it may not . it could end up being snow. in that case, white easter. we have two feet in some spots on the lawn, nothing on others. was hoping for rain that would wash it all away.
stay tuned. flooding next. get the ark out. and i call shotgun on riding up front with noah.

i'll ride with you!

interview tomorrow, eh.....wishing you the best

Hello all .

I am going to parent teacher conf. today too. My DS has 1/2 a day today and well I am not really loving it. I have so much to do before company comes on Saturday . We all know how it is when the kiddies are home not much else gets done.

Sorry Tricia there are just some things that come first and well Starbucks is there even before my DH sometimes ... Gotta have that fix .


I just got off the phone with our accountant .. Also a friend of ours...And our return has an error of over $200 . .. Now to worry though it will be resolved . I am thinking that it is going to cost us that to fill up our van soon . ANYONE see the price of gas in NYC .. $3.45 a gallon . The guy in front of me yesterday filled up a giant SUV and it was over $80 . And now our Gov. is client number 9 and we are getting a new Gov. it is all falling apart here in the good old state of NY.

Later Guys

you have a very unique governor.
i heard on the news his wife is not sleeping with him now........

it cost me about $70 to fill up my mini van and that was what it cost me a month ago...

An article in the paper said we are the highest in the State at around $3.35. I've rode my bike all week without gas. Well, I had a little gas after those darn strawberries.

our gas went from 2 days at $3.08 on night before last to $3.59 this morning.
and we are cheaper than chgo with the cook county tax.

chgo tax is 10.25

we are at 7

We never, ever, ever, ever, ever get into ANY trouble around here

that is so right.
i even removed the profaned word i put in last night in one of my last posts.



i was a good girl and changed it to a nice word.








and you know why???

i could not live without my invisible people contacts............

you should let them know ahead of time.
that way if they have another client to take care of for pick up after yours, they can schedule some other driver for them and you will have your full 30 minutes in the store.

i have had bob give me 2 stops last year.


send them an email or call them on the toll free number and let them know when you want the grocery stop.

contact them before they pick you up

I had a girl friend that lived on a farm in the country and her dad kept a log of the mileage on the car. She got around it by driving to town in reverse so it wouldn't register on the odometer.

Anyone here about the woman that they found stuck to a toilet seat after sitting on it for 2 years?
http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2008/mar/12/sheriff-kansas-woman-sat-boyfriends-toilet-2-years/

i saw that. the dude is suing her...


if you drive in reverse, the mileage count still goes on.

 

[RVGal]

i could not live without my invisible people contacts............

You have contacts that make people invisible? Cool.

 

[Metro West]

Just stopping by after washing the car.

Hope everyone is well...you too Lawrence.

Talk later!

 

[dolPhinlovEr83]

Just stopping by to say hi!

Got a FREE haircut today, wahoo! Looks pretty cute except for the blow-out, but it's not like I'll ever spend that much time on my hair anyway! Well, hope all is well with everyone, working on the yearbook...

4 days left until the deadline...

I'll check in on all of you later to make sure everyone is behaving themselves

 

[keishashadow]

MF - the story is bizarre, you couldn't make that sorta stuff up

rose - you've got your hands full, hang in there

sharon - the dog reminds me of Rocko

Hefer & Filbert were a howl - Universal should've bought the rights to that...great dark house potential (think winnie da'pooh amped up) ah, if i ruled the Universe lol

mac - how kind of you, must need glasses i think i have a phobia with people in authority, must be low self esteem...classic underachiever, yadda, yadda. youngest is showing signs of life, requested that i bring him back McDs (had to take middle DS to get exam/contacts & he paid for it , i was ready to whip out the plastic too-close call lol)

i always thought mickey was cute, yet bit of a wimp donald is the man and i do have that fatal stitch attraction

metro - i finished the book, turned out quite well...not his best; certainly better tha what he's been churning out R u done yet? I should've washed the SUV too...cause it was 75 the last time i checked

Hi all again

Random ramblings....
My DD Chrissy(10yrs old,almost 11) has a crush on Drake Bell- from the show Drake and Josh I think that is so cute Who wouldn't have a crush on Drake Bell? He is cute lookin for an older teen or however old he is.

AI the past couple of nights.
I really like Chikezie, Michael Johns, and Jason Castro(the guy with the dreds). Must be b/c they did Beatle songs, I don't know.
Matthew really likes Brooke White for some reason
So glad that David Hernandez got voted off. I really didn't like him.

I'm such a sucker for those Beatle love songs
Heard they are continuing the Beatle songs for next week as well


Ok, gotta run. Hope everyone is doing well.

This is what DH said about the Landshark..... it's a "Margaritaville" brand....it's Jimmy Buffett's Mville beer made in Jacksonville.... (He sez it tastes like Miller )

Thank him for the info. I doubt I'd like it, if it tastes like Miller though. We actually have Miller Lite in the pantry that the girls bought & didn't finish. We're trying to figure out how to get rid of it. Guess I could wash my hair in it.

janet be a good sissy and tell her about the booze..........

Thanks mom!

WHAT.............you have never seen silence of the lambs???

it's one of my favorite movies...

i can recite a lot of it.
give me a bottle and i will.........

I've never seen it either. I don't do scary movies.

Then again...older sisters RULE! ...younger sisters DROOL! (but it's kay P-Fin...I like ya! )

That's just what the older siblings say to make them feel better about the fact that no matter how old we younger sisters get they'll always be older.

Hi all-
Update.
My dad is back in the hospital
He had gone in for his follow-up appt with his surgeon today. My dad's arm and foot were swollen. THey did tests and found out he has blood clots in his upper chest and arm. So re-admitted to hosp with Heparin(blood thinner) IV. Need prayers and good thoughts from you homies. Thanks!

Your poor dad! What a roller coaster ride he's been on lately. Hopefully, a full recovery is just around the corner.

Silence of the Lambs. Psycho bad guy has girl he kidnapped in a hole dug into his basement. He lowers basket with lotion and proclaims, "It will rub the lotion on its skin." and after, "It will put the lotion back in the bucket."

Jodie was joking that Katie got locked in the basement and added the Silence of the Lambs stuff.

That explains my confusion. I'm not familiar with the movie. Thanks for the explanation.

Waiting for cbean's new bedroom stuff. finally a functioning dresser to put her clothes in I will be painting/rearranging/cleaning her room out in the next few days

Are you having fun yet?

dang, dressers are great.
the boys use paper bags and a box for their undies.......

hey.

went for the interview. the woman said wednesday at 12 noon. i repeated it.

i get there, and she says , i have you down for friday.
i smiled very nicely and let her off the hook and said, i must have written it down wrong. within 20 seconds of talking to her i decipered from her disheveled clothing and her running that she was very disorganized. I said i will see you friday at twelve noon. have a nice afternoon.


i went to the grocery store and got some food. i am making brownies. i am calm. irratated as all freakin' hell, but calm.

it is one of those offices wehre people go who wear electronic ankle braclets and all that crap. you need to be buzzed into every door, and go thru metal detectors.
i am serching as wee speak for anotehr posision to apply to. not holding out hope that i even want this one.

Good luck finding ANOTHER job. This one doesn't look too promising.

order a pizza.

I would, if we didn't already eat it multiple times a week.

tint your hair with green food coloring for the occasion

I don't need food coloring for that. Getting in a hot tub full of chlorine & not washing my hair immediately afterwards does that naturally.

My vote for easiest would be the slow cooker corned beef and cabbage. There are a ton of recipes out there. I use the one from the Family Fun website.

http://jas.familyfun.go.com/recipefinder/display?id=14930&campaign=NLC-NL_Recipe&link=Section2Link2

Thanks for the link. That's most likely what I'll make. BTW, what does corned beef taste like? (other than chicken ) I've never eaten it.

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".

When I do drink beer, I drink Icehouse. Any idea how it compares to Landshark?

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

Mom used to make us scrub walls, but we had wallpaper. It definitely needs a good cleaning on occasion. I'm with Barb on painted walls. I'll wash small areas, but if they get bad, we paint.

 

[keishashadow]

never had an icehouse, never heard of it either lol

only beer i can compare landshark to would be corona

i hear a bubble bath calling my name...no sharks in that water wonder if marci would mind if i snuck into her hot tub?

 

[macraven]

Good afternoon homies just doing a quick stop by and may be back later but feeling really bad and have had no sleep I guess just one of those days and maybe I will feel better after a little rest

hoping you feel better st L.

hang in there!
dream about your vacation, that will make you feel better...

You have contacts that make people invisible? Cool.

only when i drink.......

rose, hang in there.........
mummy dust for your dad


and i got your pm.

Corned beef has a very distinct strong flavor. "Corned" beef, is beef that has been brined with salt water and contains a packet of pickling type spices that usually has peppercorns in it. It is not that far away from the flavor of roast beef, but the step it takes away from roast beef is a peppery-pickled one. It is usually a love it or hate it dish. Very few people fall in the middle.

 

[damo]

Corned beef and pastrami are very similar.

 

[RVGal]

Corned beef and pastrami are very similar.

Okay, forget everything I said.

Corned beef tastes similar to pastrami. They even smell similar.

I don't know why I never thought of that, but now that Damo put that out there... yep... pastrami.

Hi. Good morning. Yes, that's right. Morning for me, but nothing good about it at all. I didn't sleep worth a frig today, and I really am not sure how I'm going to make it through the night. It's Mike's last night of work, and if he wants to sleep in tomorrow, he's doing it in the guest bedroom because that's just the way it is right now.

I'm sorry. I just read 4 pages of stuff, and now I don't remember what in the sweet hell I just read. I think my eyes glossed over the pages, but they didn't register.

The only thing that did right now was Janet's pic with DS and Donald. That was only 2 years ago? Wow! He has grown, hasn't he?! Great pic. We sail with Donald 5/3.

So, if anyone needs anything from me right now, write in pictures. Big ones. Or at least use a BIG, BIG font.

What? What day is it? I work straight through the weekend. Has that started yet? I guess I should go eat something. Mike and I are fighting over cars right now through email and Edmunds. I think I may have just agreed to something I have absolutely no intention of buying.

I don't often ask for pixie dust, but I need everyone to close their eyes and wish really, really hard that I have no failures tonight. I need a really easy night tonight.

Yes, I know. This post was all about me. I hate it when I do that.

 

[RVGal]

Awww... Jodie... some posts have to be all about you or we won't know what's going on in your life. I hope you have an easy day (night) at work and get lots of sleep when you're done.

I'm off to settle the boys and get ready for another busy day tomorrow.

Night!
