Kristel thanks for the updates. Trying to read everything here is not easy.

To answer your question, no password anymore but you do have to be registered.

And don't forget my pre-tr for Europe.

Hi, Scott!

****************************************************
Angela, sounds like a nice day, even though I don't like the Braves.

Jen, I hope it's for you, too!

D just pulled in the garage - much earlier than I thought he'd be here. Thank goodness I've already kicked Juan, the pool boy, out. (Just our little joke, D is always confusing me with his "other wife" too...)

So, I might be out tonight, mostly.

Dr. Belle doesn't come until evening tomorrow, and D is going to look at a boat, so I have the day to do my form of cleaning, to finish up. I'm in good shape - I did wind up doing a lot today. So I'll be around some tomorrow during the day.

Anyway...

Have a great night, everyone!
See you all later

 

[KatGarcia]

hey all...just poppin' in real quick. Sitting in this chair kills me.

Last night was a BAD night, no sleep, lots of pain. I am really ready for this tog et better. I plan to soak in a hot bath today, for a few hours lol. I can't do another night like last.

KC is playing animal crossing for me right now, fishing for some $$. He doesn't wanna start his own character so hes playing for me. Score!

Hope everyone's doing ok, i skimmed but didn't really retain much. I just wanna rest so Saturday I can go out. A friend from high school is going to be in the city and afterwards a friend who returned from Iraq recently is having a party. I need to be able to walk for both of those things and right now I dunno if i can.

Miss ya's!

Here are 2 pictures that Jim took.

Cute pics of mini-Janet...

Jim calls me a communist all the time. HIs reasoning..I don't like Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, or Monty Python

I'm not a Monty Python fan either. I also don't like Airplane, which sends Bob into FITS. Sorry!

Anyway, looks like the 40 excerpts I read are only read by me and one other person. They only picked 100 people to do this. First, I feel really, really honored. Then, I feel horrible, as the ones I hated will be half the author's feedback and my reviews are MUCH more important than I knew! Mind you, the ones I hated were really, really bad, but still. I'm crushing people's dreams.

How's everyone else tonight?

Hi CE! I think that you are very sweet for worrying about crushing their dreams. They need to get good at rejection. From what I've heard, most authors have their work rejected MANY times before it 'hits'.

Hey it's cold here again!​

OMG, Kristel. Cute pic!!

UPDATE!​

Mel's windy. I mean she said it was very windy up north. She reports that GM and Disney have still made no contract agreements for TT.

The wind was INSANE! We had 70 mph gusts and no power for a good part of the afternoon! Crazy!

I still have a really sore throat and just feel blehhh so I've done nothing so far this morning, well I did answer a ton of questions for the Mom's Panel and checked out FB and Twitter and here I need to go to the supermarket but I just can't be bothered

Poor Jo! Feel better soon!

But, I've got a Wii system going now that works for me - I'm basically making into an interval training session: 4ish minutes hula-hooping, a strength exercise, 5 min. stepping, strength exercise, 4ish min. running, strength exercise, 8-10 min. boxing, strength exercise. Makes a nice break from the old treadmill.

Good Job, V!!! I'm tired of the treadmill too. I did the bike today (4.5 miles) just for a change!

This sounds callous, but don't sweat it; this is exactly what people need in order to improve and refine their craft.

Nope, ITA.

So, we roped off our lawn last night. Oh yeah, we're looking classy now. I called the utility company to come mark off the cables and they should be here by Monday. Until then, I've got hoopty lawn. Oh, and check this out...when I called the number that is on the SC Electric and Gas website to have them come out and locate the cables, the number listed is for NORTH Carolina! Crazy!

Hoopty Lawn!!! bwahahahaha!

Good morning all. Just a quickey howdy before works gets crazy again. Have a great day. to all who need them. Will check back, hopefully at least at lunch time. Are Katt, Mel and Dawn all ok. They haven't posted yet today!

I'm fine. Exhausted. But fine. I hope you had a good day!

Target makes everything better.

So, my only news, assuming I haven't mentioned it yet, is that I don't think we'll be building any more. I love the house, but I'm not willing to wait 3-4 months with no place that we can all be together. There are 5 houses for sale in our price range in the neighborhood we planned to build in. They looks nice and they are only 2-3 years old still. I would rather move into one and not have to worry about my family. YKWIM? So, bring on the offers, home buyers! Momma wants to move!

I think that you will feel much less stress with the new plan. for you!

 

[Muffinygood]

Wow $3 I used to get 10p (about 15c) and my girls got £1 ($1.50)

Yeah, no kidding. I got .25 cents! My kids get $2 each tooth. That's plenty in my book....

I'm putting together a list of WDW tips like front of the monorail, see candy lady in Japan etc. What are your favourite tips??????

I will email you mine.....

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hi T! I hope Evan and Waldo feel better soon. We miss you!

How about if you are in AK stop by the shop near to Dinosaur as you are leaving the area where you can assemble Mr and Mr Potato heads... IF you are there in the morning... you can get picked to have your Creation be a "Spud of the Day" and they will give you a certificate.

Didn't know that one! I am writing it down though.

Thankfully, we're nearly out of the Girl Scout cookies in this house. I had 5 Samoas yesterday afternoon for no reason, then had to work really hard on the treadmill to take them back off (but I did! ) Still... I could have burned off lunch instead...

My favorite cookie, ever. So much my favorite, in fact, that I only bought ONE box this year. I couldn't lie to myself. I knew however many I bought, I'd eat.
Good girl getting on the treadmill though!

I am really looking forward to seeing JenJen and Dawn! I have been so swamped I haven't had much time to even comprehend that I'm going to WDW! I have got to pack and prepare! I don't even have a ride to the airport firmed up! Miss you tons!

Am I not going to see you at all????

I wonder where Mel's been today?

I've been having the craziest day....

She hasn't posted at all has she????


Just had my December flights confirmed

Nope. I didn't have a spare second till now...and you're asleep! LOL.

I am there from Dec. 18 to the 24th!!!!

But they still won and it was again a nice day.

Sounded lovely!

Kristel thanks for the updates. Trying to read everything here is not easy.

Holy Cow! A Scott Sighting! Hi Scott!

what's going on around here?

Don't ask me. I just got here....

********************************************************
Whoa. What. A. Day.

I woke up at 7 am, got Gus to school, came home and had a cup of tea with Bob. Then I cleaned the entire main level, including both bathrooms. Washed the entry rugs, and my sheets. Cooked chicken to shred for dinner tonight. Made TWO grocery lists for the two seperate stores, went to the gym, biked 4.5 miles, showered, went to one grocery store. Bought Bob a coffee and brought it home to him. Unloaded groceries *but left them in the garage*, went to pick up SD. Came home, put away groceries, picked up Gus, dropped off Gus at home, went to the OTHER grocery store, picked up a prescription, mailed a letter, came home unloaded MORE groceries and made chicken mushroom quesadillas for dinner.

I just cleaned it all up. This is the only time I've sat all day (except on the exercise bike at the gym and in my car!!!). Whew. I'm so tired. My BFF from N.E. is calling in about 6 minutes so I have to leave you all again! I'll be back as soon as I hang up though. I have to see my PET! LOL.

Missed you guys today!

MEL

BTW, V, any news on you visiting before I blow town on the 28th???????

 

[cmp1111]

I need to be able to walk for both of those things and right now I dunno if i can.

Oh, honey. Do you have any good narcotics?

I'm not a Monty Python fan either. I also don't like Airplane, which sends Bob into FITS. Sorry!

I'm sorry, I don't know if I can be your friend anymore. But I guess if Bob can stay married to you, I can tough it out. (LY, MI! )

Hi CE! I think that you are very sweet for worrying about crushing their dreams. They need to get good at rejection. From what I've heard, most authors have their work rejected MANY times before it 'hits'.

I know, but I was pretty harsh on a couple of them. I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't justified, but I was thinking I'd be one of eight, you know? That would dilute my harshness a bit...

My favorite cookie, ever. So much my favorite, in fact, that I only bought ONE box this year. I couldn't lie to myself. I knew however many I bought, I'd eat.
Good girl getting on the treadmill though!

Thank you, I was feeling proud of myself. I only got two boxes of Samoas, and Woody likes them, so I haven't had as many as I wanted. More than I needed, but...

Holy cow! Busy day, lady!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Wow, Mel. What a day! I'm about to make Aiden get out of the shower and run to pick up Baylie from dance. I just wanted to pop in since I saw Mel posted.
Missed you...

Excellent!

 

[Goofyluver]

Poppin' in my lovelies.

Miss y'all. Where's Kristel when ya' need an update?

 

[sorul82?]

if anyone is friends with her on FB and you get an email about her account being disabled, don't click on it. It is probably a virus.

 

[ncsjodi]

Evening ladies (and Mr. T)!!!

Another busy day around here, but I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I've got one thing to do and that's it!

I'm taking Max (our Sheltie) to the vet for the ultrasound of his liver. I'm a bit worried about what we will learn, but I figure it's time to find out, right? At least we'll know what we're dealing with.... He's still acting pretty normally, except he doesn't seem to be as interested in food as he used to be. Other than that, he's still pretty happy and active. It's just that his liver enzyme levels are way off, which can indicate cancer or some other kind of liver disease. So, if you can keep us in your thoughts and prayers, I'd appreciate it. Not sure how the girls will handle it if he's really sick.

Okay, I'm really far behind here and don't even know who's headed to the World soon anymore. I gather that JenV, JenJen, and Dawn are going soon, but what's this about Mel making another trip?? And who's meeting whom?? I gotta know people!!!

I saw that Tracy found her way here and is sick of GS cookies! I am too! I've got one more booth on Sunday afternoon and then I'll be glad to be done with them! Hopefully all of my girls will turn their money in on time and I can finally relax! And I'm hoping we don't end up with too many leftovers! I may have to sell cookies at my spring garage sale!

Well, it's time for me to go watch Grey's and Private Practice, assuming they are new this week. Have a great night everyone!

 

[lazydoxy66]

Good evening, Fockers!

Rosie -

Jo still has a sore throat. She simply can't be bothered with the trivial matters of domesticity when her computer public needs her. Wants us to share our WDW tips.

V says Leo thinks that the Tooth Fairy should be more like Santa. Did you explain to him that a toy would make his pillow lumpy? And please do wash your shorts while at WDW. We don't need another Buzz.

Sharky needs sunshine to flourish. She has 'roped' off her yard for the new tree. Did you use the bright red danger tape?

Janet stopped by for a quicky. As in 'Hi' and 'Bye'? Which does indeed describe a quicky.

Katt used to spread her lovin' around in the 1st grade. Cornered a poor little guy once. She is feeling a lot better. They are going to see Jack Hanna at BG on March 22nd. Sounds fun! How did SB do at the allergist?

Dawn is dreaming of Lapu Lapus and a sold sign in front of the house. They've decided not to build. The girls have a dance trip just before they leave for WDW. Oh and she likes to talk to herself. We need to quit leaving her alone on here.

Hedy suggests taking a multi outlet cord to WDW. -Good one.

T says Waldo is still dealing with post op. issues. Evan has short circuited since the ER visit. He doesn't want to be without her. She still has lots of cookies saying, 'eat me, eat me.'

CE is vacuuming/hoovering in between breaks. She almost got caught with the pool guy. Yep that would have been a hard one to explain since it is 20 degrees outside.

JV is TIRED! Tour planning for everybody is pooping her out. I guess she is tired of telling everybody what to do. She has been so busy she may have to walk to the airport.

Kat needs lots of hugs for her back. She didn't get much sleep last night. She wants to be better for Saturday.

Angie saw the Braves win again.

Scott popped in! He can't keep up. If you didn't know, he and Biff are going with Biff's sis to Europe in September. London then Paris. You know what is in Paris, DLParis. Yep he is going there too. Very exciting stuff happening at Enchanted.

Mel finally stopped by. She's been a bike - peddeling domestic Goddess. We missed your wake up call, Mel.

Slate says beware of Yensid Disney of FB. Might be a virus.

Jodi's furbaby may have liver problems. She has booth duty 1 more time for scouts.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Doug and I will be leaving for Ohio around noon tomorrow. I'm going to see Rockie and family. I won't be back until Sunday evening. If I can get the computer away from the girls long enough, I might pop in to say 'Hi!' They live near Dublin so there will be some Irish celebrating going on.
Somebody will have to step in with the updates. Or you guys need to keep the chat to a minimum! Yeah, right.

Have a great weekend!

Me and Rockie at Kings Island.

 

[scottny]

She's in town for a convention so we're going to have drinks. Yet another reason everyone visits here. Have a good day. to all who need htem. Happy Birthday Rosie, if I could read, I would have wished you onFB on the proper day.
