I remember when my DD got a jury summons and the twins were like 18 months and it said babysitting issues not an excuse .She freaked I told her take them with you you'll see how quick it is an excuse!!
Luckily she wasn't chosen to even show up, but I really wanted her and the Twins to show up to show them how stupid the no excuse for babysitting issues was !! I mean if they said childcare provided, but what do they think a SAHM is going to do with the kids !!
I know! My kids were, I think, 4 at the time. So I would have had issues with getting them to and from preschool, added to the fact that my only babysitter is a high school girl, so she isn't available during the day, my family all lives 1100 miles away, my DH is a pilot with no set schedule... I was immediately excused.
You know, I still dream that my high school gym teacher calls and tells me I didn't
really pass PE and that I have to return to high school to finish.
I have the teeth dreams, too. But now it's mostly alligators in my house.
Oh, no! On both the PE and the alligators!
Well, we made it through the pizza party. No one cried. No one got hurt. And no one threw up. All good.
Thank goodness, you can't ask for more than that!
I thought I might go to a movie too but I'm not sure. It's supposed to be a record high today so maybe I should be outside before the cold front comes Sunday!
Ooh, now I am jealous.
My pants are too big and my shoes are too tight today. I'm feeling all askew. Hate that.
When I had it, the judge was like,
there are no excuses to get out of jury duty. Don't even try. I'll say no, blah, blah, blah. Thankgoodness I had no excuse. Except my job wouldn't pay me the difference so I had to live on $11 a day for 2 weeks, and pay to park downtown.
Fun, fun.
The concert was fun last night. I ate my first real meal in 2 weeks. Scallops, shrimp and asparagus. Yummy!
It was nice to get to talk to each other. Kirt's work stuff is so wacked out, I swear. He's not worried about his job, but he's having to cut people left and right. It's hard on him. He deserves a Disney trip!
Glad you had fun!
GOod Morning all. I am at work and all the bosses aren't
Woohoo!
What are everyone's plans for the weekend? It is supposed to be 70 here tomorrow, but it is going to rain
We're supposed to warm up a little, too. We will do our normal pizza and a movie tonight. My aunt comes in tomorrow, but not until late afternoon. We'll probably pick her up and have an early dinner out.
Sunday, Buzz has a birthday party to attend (gee, I'd better buy a present...) and then I did tell D I'd go pick him up in Boston to save another $95 cab ride. He gets in around 4:45. So, there's plenty to do without feeling overwhelmed.
I don't mind organizing the exchanges unless someone has already volunteered.
Sounds good!
I'll take the lead then. Send me your name and address to:
kmb0694@gmail.com. Note this is not my usual email; I didn't want to plaster my name all over the DIS. Anyhow, let me know if you would like to participate in the:
card exchange
gift exchange
ornament exchange
after Christmas White Elephant/unwanted/tacky gift exchange
Shall we say all signs ups by 11/26?
Rules:
Card exchange: no rules really. Anyone?
Gift exchange: Does $7 before shipping sound ok? Other than needing to agree on the $ amount, just please no junk or used items. In your email, let me know what you like/dislike, if you would like or not prefer homemade gifts and if you are willing to ship to UK or Canada.
Ornamant: same as above except $5 before shipping.
I would suggest that gifts and ornaments are shipped by 12/18.
For the unwanted gift exchange, shall we say sign up by 12/25 and ship by 1/2?
I'm in for some of that! I'll send an e-mail.
Good Morning Peeps!
I'll check in later and hope some of you will be here tonight for some cocktails and chat en espanol!
Have a great Friday!
Hiya, T. I plan on some vino esta noche, so hopefully I'll catch you!
Have a good day!
I honestly think it'll be okay; my mortgage mandates that the existing lender must offer me the option to refi at the end of the balloon payment if I so choose and I don't see anything about them being able to say "never mind" based on falling values. But it's got me worried, nonetheless.
Oh, V. I'm sorry. But, as you said, it should work out.
Wow you lot have been chatty, I played golf again today and then David and I went for a walk before picking up Ellie from school, he's enjoying working from home as he can get it all done and then have time off quicker than being in an office
How'd your golf go?
Who'd you play with/against? Where'd you go on your walk?
The girls and I are off to my Dad's tomorrow, Emma is driving us up there as we're going out for a meal and drinks with our cousins. Dad is taking the girls to a conker party whatever one of them is
Goodness knows what Em and I have in store as they've booked a minibus and everything and you know how much I drink
Oh, my! I still think drunk Jo would be a hoot!
Have fun, and yeah, what IS a conker party? Sounds, well, British.

Hi, all.
I did my volunteering and now I've just been messing. I need to leave in about 15 minutes for my tennis, and also change into appropriate attire, but I'm feeling lazy with the weather.
I just got off the phone with D, no new news from the investigators.
I really, really should have been prepping my guest room instead of being on the phone and then DISing, but hey, she doesn't come until late tomorrow, right?
Have a good afternoon (evening, Jo!) and I'll be back later!
Good-night Mr. T.
DS6 wants one. We could be quite a pair.
Thank GOD!
I found the roses for $35. They both say they are from England.
A tin sells here for about £5 which is about $7.50
I`m with CE..Whats a CONKER party? 
but they have always worked with us with payment plans and repayments ,and a few re-fis in there. I love them! From my experiance you have nothing to worry about..
I`ll e-mail Slate my info...
