No one else could hear the conversation, the girls were all screaming in the background. She really is a neat person. She would fit in great here with us. I already feel like I have known her forever, probably why she feels free to just say whatever Then again, I think she is just that way.

Okay, I know people like that. In fact, I probably am people like that.

Hey, I am the Poop Lady... :rolleyes1



like your list but i already have accomplished 6 of them....


Bucket list:
Win lottery.
Watch an episode of the American Idol (I'll wait until my death bed for this though.)
Stop World hunger.
Teach my dog to stay out of the trash.
Keep my kids out of jail.
Paint the bathroom.
Mud wrestle.Do the laundry.
Ride dirty.
Initiate World peace.
Ride the Simpsons! Woo hoo!

How'd I do? :confused3

lori - did u take pics of the dam? have read & seen so much about it & it's importance; one of the things both I & DH agree upon visiting. So you did the drive from Anaheim...was it a bear?

dh sez i scare the crap outta him because i snore ridiculously loud (sometimes i wake myself up snoring:rolleyes1 ) then stop breathing for a what he sez is a long time:confused3 usually wind up waking choking

was supposed to go for the sleep study, etc.; know i don't want the mask (although i was told they come in different sizes); so i skipped it.

i have big old tonsils, dr suggested taking them out...not for all the ice cream @ Ben & Jerry's...is that the surgery?

I have pictures of the Hoover Dam. We did the tour and everything. ;)

Your sleep description is exactly how Joshua was until we had his tonsils and adenoids removed. I'm really glad we did it, but he was 5. I'm not sure I'd tackle it as an adult. :confused3

FIL has the mask when he sleeps. Swears by it. Looks creepy, but whatever works.
 
Evening!

Just got back from the dentist for the umpteenth time...and I'm a little numb. He redid all the fillings that were poorly done by my old dentist. My new crowns should be in next week. Then hopefully this dental nightmare should be over!!!

Hopefully I'll be able to respond personally, but I'm trying to get work done for my kiddies....

Catch you laters.....

Nope, didn't stop, didn't take pics. Actually being up there and seeing how deep it was kinda creeped me out. There was no way I was stopping on top of tha thing. Could not get ove it fast enough!

The drive from Anaheim to Vegas then on to the Hoover Dam was not bad. But the drive from the Hoover Dam on in to Kingman, Arizona took forever! I didn't think we were ever going to get there.

They got it right! We got snow! French toast, anyone?

Still haven't closed our schools for tomorrow, but it's only a matter of time. It is sticking to the roads, so unless the temps climb a few degrees and stop the freezing, we're stuck for a day. :woohoo: Joshua needs a sleep-in day at home. Okay, I need for Joshua to have a sleep-in day at home.

BTW, I'm drinking a rum & coke. Haven't had one in AGES. Possible PUI on the horizon.

Is Raven gonna yell at me for missing American Idol? The kids are playing Smart Cycle and won't give up the tv... :eek: :confused3
 
Tricia..I am jealous!!!! I soo want snow!!

We only get it once or twice a year, so I'm keeping it! :snooty:

I could mail you some, but then I'd have to answer that "does this package contain anything liquid, perishable, blah, blah, potentially hazardous, blah, blah" question and I'm scared of what they might do if I said "yes". :scared1:
 

Cool! You found french toast!

They just cancelled school for our County tomorrow. Knew they would. You get 6 snowflakes in a row and they shut the place down. Okay, that isn't fair. I know people like to make fun of how we can't handle an inch of snow around here, but the reality is that we don't get it often enough for our local and/or county and/or state goverment, DOT, whatever to invest in the equipment to keep the roads clear. We don't get practice driving on it, so many people slide all over the place. It really isn't safe to travel in any kind of winter weather around here.

Oh, and I've got a good buzz going... :rolleyes1
 
Tricia - sounds like a good day for everyone to kick back and relax. I'm so happy Joshua has been seizure free.

Did you ever tell us why you were late getting back from the wedding?
 

Did you ever tell us why you were late getting back from the wedding?

Nope, I never did. And since I've been drinking and you're asking...

When we left to make the drive to Nashville, we headed due north. From where we live, due north means heading over the mountains. No biggie, but Daniel seemed to have some car sickness issues. He kept saying, "Mouth, Mommy. Mouth hurt. Tummy, Mommy. Tummy hurt." and I'd look at him and he was swallowing hard and often. He was queasy. No doubt about it. In fact, we pulled over a couple of times to let his system settle. He never got sick, but I think we came close a time or two.

SO, for the drive back, we decided to go to Chattanooga, then head south, then east... driving home UNDER the moutain ridge line instead of east from Chattanooga, then south (which would have put us over the mountains). I hope that makes sense. Anyway, I'm the navigator. I'm holding the atlas and telling Brad what roads to take. We get to a small town and he sees a sign for a (somewhat) nearby town and he moves over into the turn lane to head that way.

Me: "Why are you turning left here?"
Brad: "This leads us to Ellijay. I know how to get home from Ellijay."
Me: "I'm looking at the map. This road is a tiny red line that heads into the green shaded area of the mountains. We need to stay on this road for another 2 miles then head east."
Brad: "I'm already committed."
"Because you are in a turn lane?"
"It'll be fine."
We make the turn. Big warning signs about Steep Grade ahead... No Trucks... No passing... etc.
Me: "I really think it would be worth it to turn around and head down the road a couple of miles."
Brad: "It'll be fine."
"Whatever this is, we're going to be stuck on it for 23 miles."
"It'll be fine." (now delivered in an irritated tone of voice)

The road was horrible. Two lanes carved into the side of a mountain with no guardrails. We couldn't do more than 25 to 35 miles per hour for most of it. Thank goodness Daniel slept through it.

He may NEVER live that one down. :headache: :mad: :rolleyes1
 
I want some SNOW !!! We were suppose to get a pretty big snow here and all we got was rain :sad: . I live in NYC and can remember the days of really big storms like 12 inches or more . now we are lucky if we even get a dusting around here.
 
Tricia - I'm excited for you! Less excited for us with the snow forecast. I considered pulling up my pictures of our house/yard/kids in the snow from last week, last month, the month before that, last spring, etc., but decided you'd probably be sick of all the snow by then! I suppose since we're going skiing I should be excited about more snow, but the fact that the mounds around my driveway are getting as tall as I am is making me less enthusiastic! :confused3 Shoveling's always harder when you have to lift the snow over your head! I suppose I could always use Penny's injury concept! Actually I did that the first big snowfall we had. Remember when my arm was hurting so much? That was right then so I had a built in excuse. But since it was the first one, the snowbanks were nice and low then. I'll be glad to share large quantities of our snow with anyone who wants some!

Anyways..spoke with mom. Apparently dad's doing better but I was wrong that they would know for sure stuff today. (Although we don't know bad stuff so that's good!). Sounds like there's a chance they'll let him out tomorrow, but he'll be coming back every day for bloodwork and labs for awhile. If things still look good after a week, then it should be good. If not, then he may have to come in for dialysis regularly too. But it definitely sounds like things are going good and assuming he gets out tomorrow, somewhat back to normal at home too. Keep your fingers crossed!

Tricia - enjoyed your return wedding story! NOT what I'd want to be doing at night driving home. I wouldn't LET him live it down!
 
how are your bucket lists coming along???????


come on now....think.......

whatcha wanna do before you go?

there has to be at least 1 thing you all want to do...

here is another for me....
maybe try buffalo meat. MAYBE.

and another would be.....
drive a stock car once around a nascar track. or, ride with Darrell Waltrip just once. then throw up. or laugh my butt off.
 
Okay, vent ahead! I just looked over my pay statements because at work today my boss mentioned something about a raise. Well, my pay is confusing because I work hourly weekly, but get paid salaried twice a month. I pulled out my pay statement I got yesterday and...surprise!! My new paycheck is now LESS than my old one!

It wasn't hard to do the math and figure out what they did. They raised my pay by $1 an hour, but reverted back to when I was working 18 hours a week and decided to pay me for that, despite the fact that I'm now working 22 hours a week. :confused3

Yes, I'm sure we'll work it out tomorrow when I go in and complain to my boss. But you'd think that since I work at a FINANCE company, where they spend all their time handling other people's MONEY, that they'd at least be able to calculate a pay statement. :rotfl: This is like the third time I've found errors in it (and so far not a single one has been to my benefit!). :idea: Wait, maybe that's how they make money! :rolleyes1
 
read the wedding trip return drive home.

that freaks me right out. :scared:

when we visited Utah a couple of years ago we drove up some canyon to check out a ski area. mind you, it was summer and there were like NO GUARDRAILS anywhere and he was driving and I said never, never again.
this year, he can drive up it himself or maybe there is a bus.
I AINT riding shotgun and looking down. I will ride in an airplane but i dont really like looking out windows more than 3 stories. last sept at the Dolphin I called 4 times to make sure we were never above the 3rd floor. and when we at at the top floor of the contemporary(cali grill) we got seated right away one night because i said we needed to be well away from the windows.....he is not a real height fan either....
