Gotta run to JoAnns for paper!! I am loving my elements for Toy Story Mania - but haveta have the right color blue!! MUST MUST MUST

Critter Country letters have me stymied.

Oh and gonna have to blow up my Cricut - or melt my CDS CDs. If y'all remember my last big use of machine with CDS - took me 3 hours to re-activate my software from when laptop crashed. Or update my software or whatever it is called. Haven't used it in about 4 weeks - the CDS not cricut itself - yep went to use it today - "you are using a trial version, please get your CD with validation codes to activate your software"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!

I turned it off. Quite disgustedly I might add. I hate hate hate that software program.

OK enough about that. Everyone have a good Monday!!

 

[party of 3]

That's great news Rita. Way to go Michelle!

So it's 4:34 in the am and we are all up here. Bubba is having breathing issues! UGH!!!! why oh why?

So I have no clue what my day will bring.

Just wanted to pop in and say hi!

I wish I was going to Disney this week. Have fun!

TRM - I'd be freaking out. I don't do techy stuff. And neither does dh! So I'd be in trouble. I'd have to have mm2000 fix mine!!!!

Rebecca - enjoy your park time! Sounds nice.

Deb- what kind of chicken in the crockpot? I love my crockpot!

 

[ddavis860]

I wish I was going to WDW too! Love the list...

AR- So glad you gave us an update on Michelle! That was a NASTY bug she had! It's great that she is recovering so well!

TRM- I think things should just work! I mean why is it so difficult? Just WORK ALREADY!

PO3- So sorry that Bubba is having issues! It's a bad time of year for that stuff right now!

Rebecca- Park sounds fun! We are having so much rain here, I don't think we will ever see the sun again

My chicken is Chicken and Wine in the crockpot. Chicken breasts, cream of somethin' soup, 1/4c wine. I got everything ready, all DH has to do is throw it in, set it for 7hrs (low) and dinner is served when I get home. He will add his special spices while he is preping it. Serve over noodles for the non low carbing at my house...I'll just have greens.

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

WDWMom, I wanna go to WDW too!!!! Good luck on the list, but by the end of the week you'll be in the magic!!!!!

Rita, I'm so happy to hear that Michelle is doing so well. Lots more for her.

TRM, I could never get CDS to work right for me. What I love on your list, though, is the play with Playdoh and paint something marvelous with your toddler. What fun!!!!

Going to need more coffee, I'll stop on my way.

Weigh-in tonight, think thin!

[StitchIsOurHero]

Good morning!! It's the first officialy day of Spring Break here! I hope everyone has an awesome day!

I'm out of pocket today. We are having some painting done at our house, so DS & I are staying at my mom and dad's and DH is staying here at night and during the day at our house. So, it's a little scattered. Mom & Dad are gone on vacation, though, so it's like a mini-retreat at a hotel where there are pics of me on the wall.

Here's my list for today:

1. Up
2. Caffeinate
3. Text DH to check on painting
4. Weigh in
5. Walk with DS
6. Laundry--it followed me!!
7. Figure out what DS did to the remote--we can only watch a program on Elderly people in Russia or the Today show which is showing the death of Michael Jackson. Yeesh!
8. Lunch for both of us
9. Text with mom & dad as they go to the cruise
10. Dinner with DH & DS
11. Do some work for work
12. Tan

Please send pixie dust and prayers to DH. I think we are going to have to have our beloved kitties put to sleep (they are 11). One is having some bathroom issues and one is extremely arthritic. It'll fall to DH to do this, so please pray for him!!

Have an amazing day, everyone!!

[joyah]

calf watch 2010 version has begun.

1st 2nd calf heifer is in the run in stall Husband gets the 11 pm check lucky me that means I get the 2 am check and the interrupted sleep night.

So we are going to be needing names ladies (and any family members that want to play along)

Here's how the fun begins. All babies are named with the first letter of their mothers name. We need girl names and boy names. With the boys keep in mind they will be on somebodies dinner plate (sorry i know TMI for some) to make it easier on the boys and I we tend to name them BBQ or some such.

I'm listing them in the order of which I think they will calve. We do it the old fashioned way and the bull is a gentleman so we see nothing.

Ribbies ( yes she was supposed to be dinner at one point)
Girl R()
Boy Rosco (not food but L likes it and that means heartache next year) Roast

Blazer
Girl B() Bessie
Boy B()BBQ

Mumma
Girl M()
Boy M()

Spotty
Girl S() Sage,Star
Boy S() Sirlion

Freckles
Girl F() Fancy,Flower,Freedom
Boy F() Flame

Big Momma (she is our largest cow and an awesome momma)
Girl B()
Boy B()Burger

 

[tinkryansmom]

LOL Christy I can so relate to this calf naming game! The only ones that get names here are the kids show cows and the one steer - and his name is always Dinner.

M - Molly
M - Meatloaf


MM2000 - does SouthWest Fly anywhere near you!?

And darn it - no playdoh today - ran to Michaels and JoAnns for swap necessities - ran over time and drove straight back, picked up saddles and then to the busstop to pick up girlies for riding lessons. Just home now and dinner is cooking!!
