It is so easy to be clean when you have no "stuff". We come home and just want to throw out all the "stuff". I am so sick of "stuff". I'm going on a search and destroy stuff mission this spring. Dumpsters full, I tell ya!!!

Thanks! Yes we were very busy. It is a vacation being back home in Ontario!

Yes, we only have the one little cocker left now. Our old one committed suicide in the fall.

Damo, I love it! I hope you are liking it here in the USA!

We sure love the warm weather. It wasn't nice coming home here yesterday to three feet of snow.

Wow! That looks like the "after" pictures on one of those decorating shows. You have a lovely place there. Must be a nice spot to getaway.

Wow! That looks like the "after" pictures on one of those decorating shows. You have a lovely place there. Must be a nice spot to getaway.

Thanks. It really is one of those places where you feel like you are away from everything. I'd get up in the morning and get my cup of tea and go sit in the screened in porch. The only sounds were of the birds. It was just so nice.

 

[coastermom]

Hey all well we never got to the movies .Everyone here is pooped out from the big party last night .

Damo your house looks very nice. I have family and very dear friends who live in Myrtle Beach . What area of SC are you in? They all LOVE it in MB . I wish I could go live there all year round but it is just too far for us to leave the family we have here .

I can't share the cooties but I can share PINK EYE ... At least for 2 more days ..I guess that is when I am suppose to stop the eye drops.

Well off to pick up my DD at her friends they are working on a project for . Then it is sandwich night here . After cooking all that food yesterday i really am not cooking tonight. I hope to be around tonight but the past two weeks i am lucky to stay awak past 9 . I guess it is the time change and spring coming that has got my sleep pattern all messed up.
Hope to see ya homies tonight

[Metro West]

Evening all...just waiting for the NCAA Tournament Selection show to start!

March Madness is upon us yet again!

 

[bubba's mom]

Hi Honey....I'm home......


Miss me???


I'm sorry I haven't been here since shut eye Friday nite/Sat. morning.... I worked Saturday then I managed to make it to Bubba's goalkeeping clinic. From there, we went to Borders to exchange a book Bubba got for his birthday and spend his giftcard. After that, we walked over to Circuit City to look at boy toys (a/k/a: videocameras) ....but, we didn't purchase one. From there, we went to Laser Quest to use the coupons Bubba got from them after his birthday party there. At $7.50/game, the free game coupon and 2 buy 1 game, get 1 free coupons came in handy After a couple games, we walked next door to The Works for dinner. A tad upsetting there....we got there about 4:15 and was told 20-25 minute wait. Okay, fine. Bubba was NOT interested in playing the games there, instead he wanted to sit and read his new book (uh...okay). DH went in search of the Flyers score (this place has 3 bars in it) and came back to tell me there are more EMPTY tables than people sitting AT them! WTH?? He wouldn't let me complain till AFTER we ate...so, need to email the manager to find out why we were waiting 20 minutes when we could have been seated right away! After dinner, we headed home and I had some things I needed to take care of. Then, I actually feel asleep watching tv last night...I was asleep early

Only to rise this morning and have to get ready for work. I was scheduled to work 11-2 today.... grand opening at the tanning salon this weekend & I was asked if I could help out any extra time). Afterwards, I headed down to the grocery store and then home....put food away, started laundry and now....here I am

So....there it is...my note! If acceptable, allow me commence my ketchupin'.............

You mean like this one?!

http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1754639

Yes, I wanted to make sure ALL the homies saw it.

Did you really think you could hide your poop on the CB?

Thanks for being on top of her and 'sharing' with us

Where is Jennifer? Is she buried under W2s and 1040s?

Barb, yes, I think we 3 might be the only ones who work weekends.

I think we need to send the search party for Jennifer....

.....working Saturdays...Actually, it didn't bother me till recently. I've been working Saturdays for at least 22 years...very 'normal' for me. Since the fall, Bubba has soccer activites on Saturday mornings...so, I try to arrange my schedule to attend...doesn't always work, and he understands, but I try (Luckily Saturdays are my slowest day..... yeah, i said 'slowest'...dont' ask why...I don't know, but works for me! )

 

[bubba's mom]

Chet was looking rather haggard and sickly so it's probably best that he left too. I wonder if there's something else going on with him?

I'm just thinking with the hurt heel and it was a LOT harder than he thought it would be, he decided to throw in the towel Who knows....maybe he'll reveal on the reunion show?

All the flashing red stuff on the weather map passed to the south of us.

Thank goodness...

I have been through the pre-Easter wringer today. The big “Easter Eggstravaganza” ......

8:35am the sun peeks out and Joshua screams, "LOOK! We can go now, right?"

Well, hell. I grab the kids, call Mom, and we were out the door in 15 minutes. They stop the Bunny Breakfast at 9:30am, so I kept telling Joshua we might not even make it. We drive the 6 or 7 miles to Truett McConnell College to have breakfast with the Easter Bunny and the Cabbage Patch Kids..... We managed to squeeze in a picture too.

After breakfast, we hauled ourselves down to the main lawn of the campus for the Easter Egg Hunt.

Mom took Joshua to the 6 to 10 year old section of the lawn.

The boys both got plastic eggs in their buckets, so they were happy.

Glad the boys got to do their egg hunt and breakfast....even tho you weren't so thrilled! (Didn't Brad go?) It may seem exhausting, but cherish it....Bubba wants no parts of going egg hunting ...then again, I guess I'm lucky? By the way, either of the boys ask why THAT Easter Bunny looks different than the one at the mall?? I got hit with THAT regarding Santa Claus one year ....had to think fast on my feet

got fat and can't fit into my summer clothers. up the creek without a paddle as i leave tuesday morning and HI will be in the mid 80's. not being productive enough. worked this week and now behind in schedule for home jobs. today is the grocery store to buy one millions frozen pizzas so they won't starve while i am gone. banking for son, banking for another son, give money to last son. good thing i worked steady last 2 weeks.

went to doc today for back adjustment and have to go again to chiro monday.

this is not my day to feel good. have a 2:30 car appointment today as tires keep going flat and i had them patched a few weeks back. tired of pumping air in them every day with the compressor i have.

i highly doubt you can't fit into ANY summer clothes You could not have gained THAT much weight in the few months since FL?? You look great and are NOT fat...if you ARE, you need to post 'proof' ...then I will consider believing you

Did you get all your errands done today like a good macraven?? Vacation is coming wether you are ready for it or not What's up with your tire(s)?? Need new ones? You shouldn't be having leaks everyday... If we miss you: HAVE A WONDERFUL TRIP!!!!

I came here with the intention of catching up. Unfortunately, I keep timing out.

Yeah! Why are we runnin' slow again??

Update on my dad. He is out of the hospital since Thurs. night.

Matthew and DH are at the Districts Pinewood Derby race right now.

....we have Matthew's Blue and Gold cub scout luncheon. He is crossing-over to Boy scouts tomorrow.

Hey yourself Rose! Glad to hear Chrissy and Dad are doing better Hope he does well with the Derby...let us know And congrats to him.... Took a lot of hard work to make it this far! Make a big deal out of it...it IS a big deal!

Back to page 15 I go........

i feel yer pain

Who are people not happy with, the bishop or the restaurants & bars? Obviously, I'm not catholic & don't know how these things work. If it's the businesses, maybe they're staying open for the non-catholics or non-practicing catholics. That makes sense to me, but what do I know.

I'm guessing probably everyone....businesses, the congregation.... St. Pat's day is big partying....with Holy week and eating certain foods...

I'm sure the 'practicing' Catholics here will enlighten more.....

True story! A guy where my sister's live went on one of the daytime talk shows. I can't remember which. I don't watch any of them. Anyway, he was paid to say he had been a child molester & had spent time in prison. His victims were there to confront him. The guy has never spent one day in prison, nor had he ever seen any of those people, before that day. They were all prompted on what to say. I think it was $1000 & a free trip he got out of the deal. [/SIZE][/COLOR][/B]

I believe it. I always wonder how true that daytime talk stuff is.....anything for a buck...but to go on national tv and claim to be a child molestor...uh....no thanks!

My DH now has an internet card (whatever it's called) that picks up anywhere there's cell phone access. I'm going to be loving it on vacations.

Now you have NO excuse for not visiting us on YOUR vacation

 

[bubba's mom]

Whew, I can breathe now. My team was behind most of the game. I couldn't stand the pressure & had to switch to another game. (Naturally, I have it taped.) We ended up pulling off a 2 pt. win! That was tough on the ole ticker.

Thank goodness! We don't need your ole ticker takin' you to the hospital!

Dopey's my man! We coulda been twins. We call my DH Gryore. A mix of Grumpy & Eeyore. You know, the sky is falling & I'm mad about it. Yep, that's my DH. No, really he's a great guy, except when he's Gryore.

TF?

Jodie,
I'm curious.... Why do you guys prefer Disney Cruiseline? We thought about cruising with them, but changed our mind, when we realized the only specialty restaurant was 21 & older. Which is good for you guys, I guess. I'm curious what makes Disney cruises stand out among the rest, if not the characters. Just wondering, if we should take a Disney cruise sometime.

I can tell you the sole reason we choose DCL this time... Bubba. DH & I did RCL (just the 2 of us) five years ago and wanted to do another cruise in the near future. Figured Bubba would be about 9.5 at the time we'd go, so, we thought the best ship to keep a 9 yr old entertained would be DCL. We liked that they had so much for the kids and we get a beeper when he wants to leave. Also, the separate pools and Palo and beaches for adults....we thought, once in a lifetime. He'll never be 9 again...so the next cruise we take will probably be Carnival or another line and we'll get a nicer room for half the money! Oh, and did I mention I got the Disney Visa card in 2005 to start accumulating reward points toward Bubba's part of the cruise?? Only putting $147 out of our pocket for HIS part of the cruise....

It was rainy & chilly here yesterday. Sounds like your weather was better than ours.

We had that today....(well, the rain ended early this morning...but chilly )

I've never heard that before. I'll try it next time. I hate getting burned.

That is why you should tan indoors...so you DON'T get a sunburn

or Timmyboy (or something like that). Doesn't he work at UO too? Maybe, Dueling Dragons???

Yeah... Tim works there....and who else works at UO...... ......

Well, since I've already bought mine...

You've done it all sister!!! Pix of food on vacation. Pic of roast IN YOUR oven. Pic of food in the packaging..... oh what have we come to??

I don't know. I don't know how to make bread.

Not regular bread...beer bread....different thing. I actually have a beer bread mix here that I got from Tastefully Simple. I think I have a spare if you want it.....I probably won't make the one i have, let alone TWO! Not sure if you can use 'lite' beer...but, why not? Lemme know if you want....

It's not really a festival in the traditional sense. They perform a different Shakespeare play for 3 consecutive days. There's actually 2 plays on Saturdays, so you could see them all in 2 days, but that's a bit too much sitting at one time for me. The performers are professionals. We've never been, but are seriously considering going this summer.

Sounds interesting....when is it again? Or rather, when is your review and pix? If it's something to enjoy, have at it! Hope your back 'holds out' long enough for you to enjoy it

It is cold and snowy in Ontario. I wished really hard that it would be summer by the time I got back.

Wishful thinking Good try tho!
