I cannot keep up with you guys, good morning.

As for body parts we use the "correct" terms as DS is beginning to try and figure out what everything is.


llebreknit, thank you for breakfast lasagna. It's grey and rainy today in Mass and that really hit the spot.

G'mornin'!

How about this--if the measurement around your hips is larger than the measurement around your SO's hips, then you have a big butt. (Unless of course your SO has a big butt too.)

If you can stand up and balance a Twinkie on your bee-hind, then you may have a big butt.

If while walking on the sidewalk, you must wear a sign on your bee-hind that says "Caution--Wide Load"--then you have a big butt.

If you think that J.Lo could use a few pounds, you probably have a big butt.

If you have never been able to wear a pair of mens jeans, then you may have a big butt.

If start dancing and singing uncontrollably whenever you hear "Baby Got Back", then you, my friend, have a big butt!

Re: Exchange - If HB doesn't respond, then I think it would be a great idea to have TF take his place!

I put name on the outside of the bag at the last minute. I, too, put my postcard in the inside and signed my name.

Re: Anatomically correct terms - Had a neighbor when I was growing up who taught their kids to say "I have to urinate" when that had to be to the bathroom. This absolutely floored my mother. She thought it was the most disgusting thing she ever heard. (She definitely is the "tinkle" type.)

Re: Being an at home mom. I got really lonely the first few months after Eric was born. He was born in November, it was a horribly winter, and he was colicky for the first five months. My friends all worked. Anyway, I finally got up the courage and put an ad in the local Pennysaver for a playgroup. Three new moms answered my ad. They all lived within a mile of me. We got together once a week at each other's homes. We did this for years. Believe me, it wasn't for the kids. It was for the moms.

Cheeringmom, just because the size of my box was impressive doesn't mean it's contents were.

[COLOR=CC0000]Mad4Mickey[/COLOR], thanks for the picture! Love it!

Butt, what if your SO weighs 129 lbs and wears a size 31 waist jeans? What then?

All my extra weight goes to butt, hips and thighs. Since I have extra pounds that I don't need right now, they are all in that area. When I am pregnant it is more noticable from behind than in front, I S-P-R-E-A-D. All my stretch marks are on my hips, not one stretch mark ever appeared on my belly.

I can remember when I first quit working to stay home with Daniel and being a little lonely. All my friends worked. Then I discovered shopping. I really had never shopped quite so much before. Even if it was just Wal-Mart, we would head out at least 3x a week. That doesn't mean I necessarily bought anything much, but it got me out of the house, broke up the day a little. Not long after I quit, we started the business and I wouldn't know what it would be like to be bored or lonely now. Between the constant communication with DH, builders, suppliers, etc. and lots of phone calls from Deadheadbelle, plus my little Ella monkey, I am NEVER ALONE! NEVER!

Wow you guys have been busy! Here's my take on the questions and topics of the day:

Checks: Like Kadaten, I use the same checks she does! First the Navy, now the checks... hmmmm....

Did we ever stay offsite. Nope! Never. Thought about it back in the old days when money was tight but we've never done it. I just prefer to be enveloped in all things Disney when in Orlando.

Dinner last night. Left over stuffing and potatoes with gravy. And I made a "turkey surprise." Left over turkey sliced up and mixed into left over green bean casserole. When I put it on the table, I yelled "SURPRISE!" Joe actually loved it.

Big butts. I think I have one but whenever I say so to Joe or anyone else for that matter, they just roll their eyes and mutter slurs. Can I be honorary?

The infamous green glowing wand picture. Thanks for posting Mad4Mickey! It's one of the better ones I've seen. Must be my beautiful wand. And Cheeringmom, go ahead and say something. Anything. If you don't, you're head is gonna explode.

Inlaws. Can't say that Joe has had any bad experiences. My family and extended family has taken him in and treat him like a member. It's pretty nice.

As for Joe's family, same deal. I get along great with them and they've taken me in, no questions asked. All but his twin sister. Our relationship has never been the issue. The big issue is that she is completely and totally out of her mind and incredibly demanding and self serving. Can't stand her at all.

Being a stay at home parent. Well, I used to work from home so I took care of the Devil Dog full time. I guess that doesn't count, eh?

I think I covered everything. Let me know if I missed anything!

 

[s&k'smom]

Speaking of hips, I have your classic Irish potato shape. No ****s no butt but boy do I have a tummy. If only what was on my waistline was shifted to other spots I'd be fab!

Must... take... deep... breaths. Inhale, exhale...

re: anatomically correct terms. I never liked the "V" word and the "P" word always makes me giggle, if not outwardly, definetly in my head.

I have a friend who uses the term "Leroy" for her 3 boys. This was all fine until the oldest went to school and there was a real Leroy in his class. Everytime he would try to talk about him, he would get all embarassed and laugh.

This same mom used the term "river" for peeing<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_2_13.gif' border=0></a>. The first time I realized this was a walk through a park with them. One of the boys started jumping up and down and shouting "RIVER!". There actually was a creek nearby and I thought it was so cute that he was so excited to see it. <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_2_16.gif' border=0></a>

Their other term is "taa-taa".<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_14_3.gif' border=0></a> OK, all my Jewish friends should get this one. At her niece's bopmitza (I'm sure I just terribly mis-spelled that one), there was some jargon she had to say that sounded like that word. Do you know what it is? Well, all three of her boys busted out laughing during the cermoney because apparently she had to say it over and over. Help? I can't remember what the meaning behind that was.<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_12_1.gif' border=0></a>

 

[llebrekniT]

Rick, go back to work! Don't need you in here making fun of my box or it's contents!

Can I help it if I have a big box?

OK! Just not around me!

My DS called his a Willie until they did the "NO, go, tell" series in K-garten. But before that, a boy named Willie started at his daycare, and I wish you could have seen his face when the little boy told DS his name! <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_11_8.gif' alt='Eyes Poppin' border=0></a>

Oh and thanks, [color=FF66CC]llebrekniT[/color], for the butt-building breakfast. It was to die for and things like that are the reason I'm in that BB Club! I have ZERO will power when it comes to yummy food.

Speaking of BB Club, I haven't measured around DH's hips yet, but I'm sure that will be a criteria that makes me a Real Member of the Club. As far as balancing a Twinkie on my bee-hind, right now all I can do is the Twinkie Slide. But after that breakfast, I may be able to do the balancing act after all.

Rick, sure you can be an honorary member. The more, the merrier. But the rule is that an Honorary Member cannot complain about his/her non-existent big butt to Real Members, for fear of retribution.

I have the tummy problem, also, [color=6600FF]s&k'smom[/color]. Maybe we need to expand our name to the Big Butt and/or Tummy Club?

Dogs are whining like they're dying, so I guess I'll go out in the 42 degree gray, rainy, nasty weather to walk them and wish I still lived in TN! Check y'all later!

p.s. Rick - I've never seen a wand as wonderful as yours! [color=FF66CC]llebrekniT[/color], I'm sure it's one-of-a-kind and you'll just have to find a good replica!

Hey guys, I think Rick has box envy. But he does have a big wand. Let's all make him feel better.

[ [/B]

not only is it big but it glows and shoots pixi dust .

And TINKBACKWARDS there is nothing wrong with your big box or with anyones big butt. I must confess my tiny hiney has grown in the last 10 months. Used to be a size 3 but now a 7. The age is creeping up on me!!! Here is a good exercise for everyone with big butts. It is called a the butt dance <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_6_7.gif' border=0></a>

llebrekniT, sorry hun, you are exempt from the SO butt rule. That is just too hard a competition.

BC is used to be pear shaped--with a tiny waste. When I was a teenager, fatigues were in style (yes, I'm old). I think I wore a 25 or 26 waist.

Well, gone are those days. I am now a short-waisted hour glass. I went to that BMI index website. I have a 25.9 BMI which puts me in the pleasantly plump category.

Okay, gotta run in the office, pay myself, and then me, Oma and the boys are going to the mall. To lunch of course.

 

[ohanafamily]

[COLOR=FF66CC]llebrekniT[/COLOR], I am not trying to distance poor HuggaBaloo, but the deadline is in 2 days and it doesn't look like he will make it from my standpoint...I also thought Tigger Fans! would appreciate the sentiment. There are 2 others I am concerned about, and since the deadline is thursday, I figured I would send a round of PM's to everybody that hasn't touched base for a while at that point. I am just preparing contingency plans... and floating a trial balloon.

OK, this is the first time I have actually been spotted at work drooling over a virtual breakfast...Yummy!!!!!!!!! Thanks [COLOR=FF66CC]llebrekniT[/COLOR].

Oh, and yes, I have seen bigger boxes...but yours was 3X the size of any of the others...We keep catching Nephosaurus trying to sneak some of the stuff out...

Nobody has really gone way overboard on the spending, but I am trying to build a little suspense and added enthusiasm.

Oh, and I have to say this, [COLOR=CC0000]Mad4Mickey[/COLOR] made RickinNYC's wand by hand.....Sorry for telling the secret, but I just couldn't resist...

 

[ibouncetoo]

Morning kids......


.....just a reminder about the double-entendres.......
.....that's what causes Mod repremands.........



...please resume your normally scheduled conversations.....







P.S. I don't want to go to work....I want to stay and play with you guys!

 

[llebrekniT]

I'm going to be a good girl and: put away my box, leave Rick's wand alone, clean up my kitchen, do some laundry, do a little more painting in the kitchen today and keep my lunch date with DH and Holly at her school.

See you guys this afternoon.

Now THAT is a BIG word!

You may not believe this, but I was already on my way to being a gooder girl before you shook your finger at me!<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_15_3.gif' border=0></a>

Sorry mommy!

 

[llebrekniT]

I'm going to leave you guys with this -

Who likes the carousel horses more, my DH or Ella?

And QOTD: What was your favorite cartoon or other TV show when you were a kid?
