The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 9

[mommy2emmersNmo]

I'm home. Got here about 11:00 last night. Pal Mickey was here to greet me. He is looking forward to a fashion show today. He also has a tent and sleeping bag to check out. He is only home for a couple of days. We have to get him and the girls packed for their trip to Japan. They leave Sunday morning. I'm also packing up 6 build-a-bears with accessories for my brothers stepkids & baby.

My DH is so jealous! He was really hoping his sister got transferred to Japan.

Safe travels, Katrina and Becky! Have some sushi for me!

Nice to see you also, but next time I'm having a morning P4 would you wait just a little while before you stop it?

And what if I don't want to!!!!

My brother is a civilian for the Air Force. He is stationed at a base in Japan. He & his wife just had a baby. My mom offered to take the girls with her to visit. They jumped at the chance. They leave on Sunday and come back on June 30th. They are really looking forward to seeing their Uncle and the baby. As well as their Aunt Terry and her 5 kids (we only met her once before they were married and moved to Japan).

They are planning on going to Tokyo Disney (I'm trying to find information on it so they are prepared) and a water park while they are there. I bought some of those foam visors and some stick-on foam decorations so they can decorate them. I'm working on Disney t-shirts for their build-a-bears. If I can get their sizes, I may make tees for all of them. Of course, I decided to do this yesterday and they leave early Sunday morning.

I love last minute ideas!!! They take all your time and they alwayscome out fabulous!!!
I hope the girls have a great time and make sure they take pics at T-Disney.

Quickly scanned the posts. Here's some generic and for those that need it. Hope everyone has a great day.


I'll be on over the week-end but probably briefly as we are packing the girls up for their Japan trip. Mom will be here tomorrow to bring her dog for me to sit while she is there. Chuck's parents are coming over for a couple hours tomorrow as well. His dad is really stressing over Chuck. I probably shouldn't have told them. However, they were on the phone & asked me. I don't like hiding things.

Chuck had a rough couple of days with me gone. He didn't even make it to work yesterday. I was late for my meeting on Wednesday so that I could stay home and help him get ready for his meeting. He says some things are better while others are worse. He gave me permission this morning to call the doctor if I wanted to. Obviously, he isn't going to call and complain but I'm supposed to. Ya gotta love it!

I'm so sorry that Chuck still isn't feeling well. Mega doses of coming your way!

I'M DONE!!!! I spent 2+ hours on it yesterday and 3+ today. And of course, those it was for will never know it was that work-intensive and will wonder why the didn't have it a week ago.

But now I am free to have a fabulous and worry-free weekend!! Terra wants to have her picture taken and lo and behold I got a coupon from Picture People for a free pose package for our new store's grand opening. I am so excited to get a whole package and not just an 8x10!!! Then, it will be off to see Cars and a stop by the craft store. I'm excited!

WHOO HOO!!!
Have a great weekend.

DBF finally got me into the Bass Pro Shop a few weeks ago (it was after a BABW trip, so I owed him). I have refused going in for years since it is the "store of death." But I found some decent things in there: Crocs (or croc knock offs), Tommy Bahama stuff and cast iron skillets and dutch ovens. I didn't want to cary the cast iron skillet around the store since it's heavy. Then of course I forgot to go back for it. Drat. Now I'll have to go back in the store of death. Fortunately, it is near the BABW store with my fave sales staff, so it will be a trade.

The things we do for:

Jennifer

I used to refuse going in there as well but since I have been in it, I love it! We always find cool stuff there!

Paula - apparently that money tree actually grows in the forgotten city of atlantis which they still haven't found yet but some claim they have despite what everyone says. There's rumors that if you dig a 4 foot 3 inch hole and put a dollar bill a dollar bill that's older than 1921 that's torn it half diagonally from right to left and water it once every full moon and twice in july that it'll grow in remote parts of Oklahoma.

All right....I think I may live in a backward state!!
It was announced today that in CO it is legal to be in a common law marriage(ie you say you are married...viola you are!!) at the age of 12 for girls and 14 for boys. This I guess is English common law. It all has to do with an earlier court case of a 14 year old girl and then 34 year old man...they legally got married a year later (with mom's consent!!).

 

[babytrees]

Now that is ridiculous! And why the difference for the girls age from the boys! Are you sure this isn't some ridiculous law that is still on the books that they need to get removed? There are ridiculous laws similar to that in every state that some crack pot pulls out every couple of years.

The article I read said that it is English Common Law brought over WAAAAAY long ago. Colorado is one of only 10 states that recognize common law marriages and the ruling today was a reversal from the Colorado Supreme Court on a Judge's order that the 14 yo and 34 yo marriage be considered null and void. All the judges said is that a 15 yo can be a common law wife...so somebody brought up that must mean we are working under the English Common Law....it should be fun to watch the goings on with this one!!

I have done a huge goof at work and it drives me crazy!! Mainly because when I goof it involves hurting a person's feelings. I mixed up the altar flower calendar and put the wrong name and information in the bulletin as to who donated the flowers this week. Normally this wouldn't be too big of a deal but one is in memory and the one that is going up on Sunday is in celebration of their 2nd wedding anniversary. The anniversary people are also extra sensitive and already feeling neglected over what I feel is an insignificant thing (no usher name tags, special ordered and FINALLY they came in this week!!). I've apologized profusely and I know it's my boo boo but the woman(older than me) was pouting on the phone and I wanted to tell her to grow up. I also want to keep my job so I didn't say anything. Doesn't help that I still don't feel good.

Thanks for letting me whine!!

Mistakes happen but I know it is hard when you know your hurt someone's feelings. We still love you!

Ok..... 165 pages to catch up on if you all quit posting right now

It actually could be worse I suppose. I haven't really be on in 2 weeks. When we went for residency weekend trips over the winter you'd put up 50 pages in a few days! I guess I have busy summers to thank for you all keeping it down (relatively).

Unforunately, we aren't supposed to have internet until 4pm so I just dove head first into a HUGE project around here. I am going to attempt to get back to it and at least tackle a good part of it before coming back here. So start yelling if you see me before a few hours have passed!

You have to find Paula's mega catchup post as she had a great recap!

 

[mommy2emmersNmo]

My morning only seems to be getting worse!! Anybody have a rock I can hide under? Fridays are supposed to be easy, breezy but it ain't happening!!!

If I hide out with you all for awhile do you think they'll all go away?

Yep, that is what we are here for, remember?

 

[babytrees]

To top off my crap happy morning...the has disappeared!! Now I know we need rain...so rain, rain come on!! But it's like my whole day has gotten to mother nature and she's sad too!! Plus I can't go out and play in the rain if it does rain....I love jumping in rain puddles!!

 

[kc10family]

seems to me a lot of High school stdents could decide - hey I am married to my BF!!!

as if things aren't crazy enough. But you know they will try it.

 

[mommy2emmersNmo]

Pretty peaceful and a little cool so far. Hopefully, it will start looking more like your by the end though. Once we can get things arranged and moved to St. Louis I won't have to work anymore except for to babysit my sister's kids.

I hope you get moved real soon!!

 

[babytrees]

Paula-

I forgot to tell you how much I love your new siggie!!!
