Something about Nothing, come join in........ Part 3

[marciemi]

Okay, enough of the whining! Today I saw the most perfect ornament in a catalog for one of you, but of course it wasn't the person I had and I've already sent mine. Maybe next year?

Tricia - we're in indoor soccer here (if you read my earlier post you can probably figure out why!).

Barb - don't blame you for not wanting to visit. DS12 has a piano recital next weekend and he and his teacher are playing an awesomely impressive duet. (I'm REALLY hoping DH can figure out how to get it on youtube - if any of you guys have any tips, suggestions, or help on that I'd appreciate it!). Anyways, I'd told my parents about it. My dad has never been out to visit since we moved 18 months ago. Suddenly they called today to ask if they should fly out for it. I'm trying to explain that it's not THAT exciting (I'll tape it for them) and this really isn't the best time of year for a visit!

Tricia - yeah, peer (or especially boy/girlfriend) pressure will do that! DH was sitting with DS and his girlfriend at a volleyball game before Halloween listening to them talk. GF asked DS if he liked haunted houses. He says he HATES them. Next night - guess what they're doing? You got it - going to a haunted house! Ah, to be young and have that kind of influence again!

Well, off to do some Christmas cards!

Thought I would stop by and say hi to all you homies

Hi right back at ya'!

Hi guys - I had a day at work today. My boss was being a complete dweeb.

Oh, ICK! How terrible. I know exactly what you mean about being on the verge of tears and if you say something you'll break. You are still looking for another job, right?

did he live near 3rd street over looking the bluff when he was in red wing?
it's near the reservation.

I will see if he remembers where they lived. I might have to ask his parents since he was so young when they were there. I'll find out somehow. Maybe you guys knew each other way back when. Wouldn't that be weird!

Hi guys - I had a day at work today. My boss was being a complete dweeb. Once again yelling at me for something that I had NEVER had explained to me before. I tried, politely, to say that he hadn't gone over it and he was just ranting and raving. I'm sitting there at the computer with my back to him. You know how you get where your throat tightens up and your eyes fill with tears and you know that if you have to say a word your voice is going to break and the tears are just going to overflow?

marcie, if i leave now, i can be in green bay in 2 hours.
i'll bring a carton of toilet paper.
google me the directions to mr meanie's home.



i'll take pics ............

don't worry homie, i got your back

Hi right back at ya'!

tricia, that would be way kewl if they knew

 

[macraven]

i made chicken and dumplings for dinner.

3 out of 4 ate it.
one is still in his room but i'll hold his plate for him.

might be midnight when he gets hungry so glad microwaves were invented

i took a pass on dinner.
i made my rocky road chocolate ice cream in my cup for dinner and then put my jammies on by 6:05 tonight.

i'm craving coffee now.
ice cream does that to me.

Brad says he doesn't remember the road, but he's pretty sure they were in Burnside subdivision... or something like that. I can get more specifics from FIL I'm sure.

 

[loribell]

Hi guys. I'm not going to be able to respond to all I have missed, computer keeps locking up on me so I am giving up. I will try to catch up tomorrow on a different computer.

I wanted to say hi to everyone and let you know I have read everything. I did want to respond to Marcie though.

Wow, that guy is a jerk. With that and all the problems you are having keeping up with all the stuff with the boys, it's just not worth it. I hope you can find something else soon. Heck, subbing would have to be better than this! Anyway, I'm thinking about you. Hope it gets better soon.

Hey, I think I may have actually got something posted!

Nite everyone.

 

[bubba's mom]

Barb - I did okay shopping. I got Joshua 2 pairs of pants on sale and Mom got him the $40 special edition Super Mario Bros Monopoly. I wouldn't get him a $40 Monopoly game, but if Grandmom feels the need... I'm not going to stand in her way!

Hey...if Mom is spending it...do NOT, i repeat do NOT stand get between her and her money Let her spend it on them, that is what being a grandparent is all about. Spending on the grandkids (yeah yeah, forget all about us kids in the meantime ) I'm sure one day WE'LL spend the money on the grandkids.....

i have only worked this week at skool.
i have no time to play on the computer. i think this is why i turned down jobs in the past. it is boring to work all day.

mr mac just hates it when i say that......

i haven't started christmas here yet.
no shopping, no card sending, heck, don't even have cards yet, no baking, no decorating, no tree up..........

but i did buy my ornabuddy thingy.
but need to stick it in the mail ............



i need a wife to do all the things that have to be done for the holiday

maybe 'personal assistant' would sound better ...just a thought.....

Mr. Mac should be helpin' you out....remember, you're a "team" in this crazy ride we call 'life'

Thought I would stop by and say hi to all you homies

Hidy, ho!!! Good to see you popping in...where ya been?? Preparing for holiday festivities???

 

[the Dark Marauder]

My boss was being a complete dweeb.

I haven't heard anyone use the term "Dweeb" in so long!

But hopefully everything Gets Better.

 

[bubba's mom]

Hey Lori...glad to see you were able to get something posted.... Hope you are able to use a different computer tomorrow.....

Hi guys - I had a day at work today. My boss was being a complete dweeb.

First, what a jerk!! (I haven't heard the term "dweeb" in like.... ....forever.... ) Some men really 'get off' on "power trips" and don't realize it. Glad he could read it all over your face....I hope he felt like sh*t!!! I believe in "what goes around, comes around"...sooner or later....just be patient.

Today I saw the most perfect ornament in a catalog for one of you, but of course it wasn't the person I had and I've already sent mine. Maybe next year?

uh....HELLO?!?!?! Please be sure to mention this next week....I'm dying to know what it was (& who for....)

(I'm REALLY hoping DH can figure out how to get it on youtube - if any of you guys have any tips, suggestions, or help on that I'd appreciate it!).

It's my DH that is the resident 'computer geek'....so, I haven't a clue how to help you ...and, you're not finished those Christmas cards yet.... whatcha waitin for....Christmas???





(i kill me...again!)

i took a pass on dinner.
i made my rocky road chocolate ice cream in my cup for dinner and then put my jammies on by 6:05 tonight.

i'm craving coffee now.
ice cream does that to me.

(i'm tellin' Curves on you....

)

 

[marciemi]

Thanks for the support guys! Wow - guess I'm stuck back in the 80's or something - didn't realize "dweeb" was that out of date! Guess I was trying to use a more "board family friendly" word rather than the one I would have liked to use!

Mac - thanks for the offer! Maybe we could have shared some of that rocky road ice cream, although I'm really not an ice cream person (especially in December!) I'm relaxing again with my favorite wine and cheese! I diffused by watching CSI with the family (and venting during the commercials)! Of course my boss also insisted today that CSI was going to be a rerun. I didn't argue with him, but who wants to bet that if he didn't tape or watch it, somehow it will be my fault! So, is it snowing down by you? We're expecting a couple more inches tonight. And my wimpy friend I walk with every day didn't go with me this morning just because it was "too cold" - what a weenie!

Anyways, I'm not looking hard for a job right now (probably because I just don't have the time to!), but maybe after the holidays. Honestly, I was at the point today of just walking out. I'm not a yeller, so I probably would have said something like "sorry, this isn't going to work out" and just left. Maybe kinda wishing I had. Other than the stuff I do directly for this boss though (maybe 10 percent of my overall work), I don't mind what I do and I like the other 2 people who work there. I keep hearing the "boss" is considering early retirement or at least reduced hours. Can't come soon enough for me!

Barb - the Christmas cards are done, as in printed out, but now I'm writing those personal messages to everyone. And waiting for DH to ever finish printing out the envelopes so I could actually mail them! If your DH does ever have any suggestions - please let me know! Do you know if you can post youtube videos from regular videos or does it have to be digital video? And I'll let you know about the ornament once we all get our secrets! Didn't get mine yet! (But I'm sure neither did my person!)

But on the plus side! For me - IT'S THE WEEKEND! I don't work Fridays so I have 3 days without my meanie boss! So let's see, what's on the agenda? For tomorrow morning I get to sit home and wait for the plumber to come! Don't think I told you guys, but the toilet in our bathroom decided to start leaking from all around the base this morning. Since DH and I are both completely non-plumbing-inclined, I turned off the water and they're coming in the morning. Which means that if I need to go during the night, I have to use my kids' "super stinky" bathroom! Let me tell you, three boys in one bathroom is not a good thing!

Then my kids have a half day of school so I'll be taking DS15 and his girlfriend to the mall in the afternoon. And going to a soccer game in the evening. Still sounds WAY better than going to work don't you think? Well, I'm off to bed. Talk to you guys tomorrow!

Ah yes....wimpy friend smart Her scarf didn't freeze to her face and make an 'impression'

Anyways, I'm not looking hard for a job right now (probably because I just don't have the time to!
), but maybe after the holidays.

Barb - If your DH does ever have any suggestions - please let me know! Do you know if you can post youtube videos from regular videos or does it have to be digital video? And I'll let you know about the ornament once we all get our secrets! Didn't get mine yet! (But I'm sure neither did my person!)

I'll be looking a bit harder for another job too...after all the hub-bub of the holidays.... making good use of Thursdays off

I'll ask DH about the video....he's, um, busy, right now.....

Just finished getting my ornament ready to travels....had to give it a scarf since it's so cold here.....

 

[bubba's mom]

Oh...and HOW could I forget.....

Bubba's team won their game tonight....we are undefeated!!! Now, let me explain WHY this is a big, no, HUGE deal.....

First, with the indoor soccer (yes Tricia, no frozen hineys ) we don't get to practice....too many using the fields and such....but, 90% of the team played together in the fall outdoor league, and for our few that couldn't play indoor, we recruited some of the other Exeter players on the other team....so, we really haven't practiced together as a team.....

Second, we played an undefeated team.

Third, they were a younger team....(we are 8/9 yo, they were probably 7/8 yo) ......but very skilled. They are an ongoing soccer training camp ...type of thing... If you are 'good enough', they will let you 'play up'...meaning, playing your skill level, not age.

In this team's first 3 games alone, they scored 29 goals Scoring no less than 8 goals in 1 game

We won 9-4

I thought we'd be shut out 15-0 but we were up 4-0 before they started scoring. They never tied us or took the lead ..... DH and I are still in some shock....the boys played extremely well.....(& even the 2 who missed 2 games due to a Florida vacation... )

So, that is the big news in the House of Bubba tonight.....

Oh, and our team is the Exeter Eagles..... here's a link to the stats IF you're interested...which, prolly only the guys are..... (that's okay....I don't mind....thot I'd throw some "man" stuff in here for a change )

There's nothing wrong with being stuck in the 80s.

I suppose "jerk" or "butthead" would have sufficed.

Hey...if Mom is spending it...do NOT, i repeat do NOT stand get between her and her money Let her spend it on them, that is what being a grandparent is all about. Spending on the grandkids (yeah yeah, forget all about us kids in the meantime ) I'm sure one day WE'LL spend the money on the grandkids.....

Hidy, ho!!! Good to see you popping in...where ya been?? Preparing for holiday festivities???

nope just been under the weather and Dw has been driving me nuts to go the dr and I still won't go

 

[Motherfletcher]

He was born in Albert Lea... moved to Red Wing when he was about 3... then to Mankato when he was 5 until he was 18 and headed south.

I was born in NE Iowa. I was almost 22 before I found out you could leave.
There has always been this feud going on between Minn. and Ia. in that area. I have a friend that played hockey for Mankato State. I haven't been to Minnesota since another friend of mine pitched for the Twins in the World Series.
I tell you where it's cold in Minnesota - The Iron Range around Hibbibng will test your frostickles. They use a lot of alcohol for anti-freeze though.
I thought of ya'll yesterday when I had to roll up my sleeves when we went over 80.

 

[macraven]

nope just been under the weather and Dw has been driving me nuts to go the dr and I still won't go

that's a guy thing.
mr mac refuses to go also when he is sick.

i think guys are just tougher than the females.

[macraven]

There's nothing wrong with being stuck in the 80's and talking like the 80's....but when you start dressing 80's.... ...yeah, ya don't want to look stuck....

And.....I believe "jerk" or "butthead" is to mild a term for this guy....how about Jodie's ole fav..... "bunghole"?



(I miss Jodie..... ....hope she comes back someday soon......)

typical man.....you DO realize we lose sympathy for you guys when you're sick and won't go to the doctor....right??? I'll feel bad for ya, and help you out and all that 'taking care of you' stuff.....BUT, if you won't go to the doctor....forget it....no sympathy.....and no "babying"

 

[bubba's mom]

I thought of ya'll yesterday when I had to roll up my sleeves when we went over 80.

gee....thanks.....

Somebody start a ticker to the first day of spring....
