Nancy dear, that's hard to do,
For no one is mothier than you.
To your greatness, I must bow,
Give you applause and say "oh, Wow!"

Seventy posts you are ahead,
To type that long I would dread.
Ahead you are, ahead you'll be,
To catch up would be the death of me!

You can do it Bonnie.......I must now bid you adieu for awhile......so just keep talking

 

[LucyStorm]

Take care Nancy!

Kimmie, hop up here, we're table dancing! Did you like how I recreated your artwork on Beanie's face? Oh, and there are oysters over there in the bucket, you can have them all, I hate them.

Table dancing!?!? Wooo hooo!!! Hmmm... I wonder how many YaYas can fit on one table??

Oysters! Lemme' at'em!!!! *Kim dives off the table and into the bucket*

Oh Beanie!! You never looked more lovely! The sideburns are so becoming!

Yeah, stargazing! What else would I call it? Sheesh!

All YaYas beware!!! Bonnie has a new hobby!!! Who bought her that darn camera anyway?? Now I know what was causing the rustling in those bushes last night. It was peepingyayadbonniedork.

Elaine, that's the same reason I colored mine. Well, primarily to tame some of the perm frizz. It definitely helped to tame the wild look I had going there for awhile.

Hi all....can't stay long at the moment. reading time and tucking in. Then I can play.....

Not to worry Bonnie and Nancy... you know in the end I will surpass you all in post and then some

Nancy...prayers for you and dh. keep us posted. I'll be thinking about you tonight.

One nice little story for you all before I go get EMily.....


I feel like the Grinch at the end of the book.....

I have been so down on this whole GS adults treating me like dirt thing for about a week now.....tonight I took my girls to Alpha House (a homeless shelter that educates and helps in job placements and stuff) last night they put together birthday boxes for the shelter so that when a child living there has a b-day they will have decorations, gifts and party wear......anyway....I was so very very proud of them tonight. They were wonderful and humble and kind and......well....my heart is just 3 sizes bigger right now

 

[helenabear]

Nancy, I hope your DH has a safe return home tonight {{{hugs}}}

Bonnie, I will remember to do that when I ride it. I am not so scared to go on that one, but ToT really does scare me now... I wish they hadn't changed it from one drop

Kimmie, you think I ought to go a little more red for that time? Maybe I'll stick to my nice bronzed brown

 

[yensid1071]

Yep, it was stargazing. That's all it was. Yep. Honest. It's true.

Kimme + oysters (again) + table dancing=
Pardon me while I pull up a chair here.

Nancy, I hope your DH makes it home safe tonight!

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Nancy prayers and thoughts for you and your dh.

Jennifer what wonderful girls you have. You have every right to be super proud of them.

 

[Pam]

Nancy,
Please let us know that your DH made it home safely!!

Bonnie,
Now the truth comes out - it was you who was peeking in the beach house windows - and you blamed it on me!

Jennifer,
That is such a sweet story about your girls tonight!

Pam

 

[helenabear]

Jennifer I now noticed your post snuck in right before mine... those are some amazing girls you have there

 

[Pam]

Please stop spinning me! I am already mad from dealing with the internet provider tonight! They are absolutely the worse company to deal with.
I am calling and checking about cable internet service tomorrow.

Good evening Ya Yas!!!

Never will I ever catch up to you...but it has been quiet today.

Debbie....slow down and take care of that blood pressure!! Whatever is left undone before your trip is simply that...un done. It will all fall into place but only if you take care of yourself first!!!

Kim is a redhead!!! I bet it looks nice Kim but wait a minute. Now Elaine is talking about pre discon color?? I am having flashbacks to several months ago when ya'll were talking about GREEN hair and matching tatoos!!! At least I am assured of having a great time at discon with you two as my sponsors!!! I am mailing buttons tomorrow to ya'll!!

Hi Jay, hi Karen, Hi Nancy!!

BONNIE!!! Name your price for that video woman!!! THAT should be a good show at discon!!! But give me a break on the "innocent eyes" comment!!!

Jennifer...tonight your heart was in the RIGHT place! We do this for nights like you had tonight. I know that "heart poppin happy and proud feeling"!! I'm glad you had such a good time with the girls!!


Move over Bonnie!!! Lemme up on that table!!!! Wooohoooo....beach tunes!!!!! WRRRRRRRRR.....Jodie whips up a huge Ya Ya batch of "It's Tuesday night but we can pretend it's the weekend" smoothies, hops over to the food table and puts frosty mugs on the table for all!! NO SLOW SONGS ALLOWED TONIGHT!!! ONLY FAST HAPPY ONES!!!! ***Jodie tosses the Faith Hill cd to the sharks!!****

 

[Pam]

Just wanted to say that I mailed out my YaYa Sister's ornament today - she should have it by Thursday, or Friday at the latest!!

At long last (well, maybe), here is a quick review of the Smitty/Third Day/Max Lucado concert from last night in Dallas. LOL... this will be the Readers Digest version.

First, let me say that traffic in downtown Dallas is a *MAJOR* pain in the rear!! I felt lucky I made it down there alive!! Ok, vent over. On to the good stuff.

The show was supposed to start at 7:30, but as that rolled around, they put up a 10 minute countdown clock on the video screens. So we really started at 7:40. No biggie. Hearing the 14,000+ count down from 10 seconds was funny. Kind of like New Year's Eve, really.

Max Lucado came out and said a few words. Welcomed the crowd, thanked us for coming, read a little, spoke a little and referred to a passage in Isiah (I tried to find it but couldn't remember what it was. ). It was about singing and praising. Oddly enough, the translation he used had the words "Raise the Roof" in it. Hmmmm.... Somehow I don't think those words are used in my Bible. Maybe I just need a newer printing of the NIV, but I would bet those words are *not* used in the KJV version.

Max then introduced Third Day. They in turn brought out Smitty, who sang 3 songs w/ them. About 30 min later, Max came back out and spoke some more. Then Third Day finished their set w/ 15 more min of songs.

Smitty came out and talked about Compassion International.

After a 20 min intermission/set change, Smitty came out & did a bunch of songs from both "Worship" CDs. LOL... I would give a playlist, but can't remember them all. Oh well. Max spoke some more, then Smitty finished the set. During the last song, Agnus Dei, Third Day came out as he started it, and they finished it w/ him. It all sounded really, really good. Third Day sounded just as awesome as Smitty.

It's still funny.... It's the first Smitty concert I've been to where he didn't sing Friends or have an encore. Then again, the style of show didn't lend itself to that. Still a great show tho. If you can, I say go see it. You'll love it!!!

I believe the green hair and tatto thing started when, on their way to camp nativetxn....Betty's kids tattooed and dyed my poor sweet girls!

I miss Betty!


Jodie I knew you knew the feeling!! Thanks all for the pats. Cosmic forces work in mysterious ways...just when you're completely fed up....they send you 20 minutes of joy!! (and the power to put leaders you don't like in the boys bathroom )

Hi Karen!!!

Deb I forgot to say....sit back a relax. Blood pressure is nothing to fool around with (I know from where I speak) Your trip is going to be just fabulous!!!!!

 

[helenabear]

Yep green hair and tatoos... it could still happen!!! I did once have green hair so it wouldn't be that awful. I do think that I might stick with the bronze/brown look although I will check out some of the colors out there.

Jennifer, I really really miss Betty too... I hope she comes back soon!

Hi Pam!!! I'm sure your Ya Ya will love it

Jay sounds like a fun evening.

Okay now I really really need to get myself in gear! I've done my tummy crunches but I promised I'd have a schedule updated and perfect by the time someone got home tonight... he could be home in as little as an hour So I had better get that done before it gets too late!

 

[Kama89]

Awww... Jennifer! What sweethearts your girls were today! That's so neat! I loved watching Cam's class help at a Samaritan's Purse distribution center last Christmas! Those kids absolutely loved filling those boxes. The "big guys" (Cam and his buds) were elected to handle the big stuff....loading full boxes of shoe boxes onto hand trucks and into huge stacks that climbed to the ceiling of the church. You could just see how happy it made them to know they were doing so much to help other children less fortunate than them.

Nancy, stay dry! I do hope DH had no trouble getting home.

Oh yeah!! Tatoos!! I almost forgot!! I think I'll pass on the green hair though. Ummm... a tatoo. Should I? I dunno. I'm still not sure what I'd get.

Jodie buttons!!!! Yeah!!! We need Jennifer buttons too!

A show at DisCon?!?! Yikes! Where's my rock? I need to crawl under it again. Elaine? On second thought, I think I'll pass on DisCon!

 

[jldriscoll]

OK, time for a little beach house house cleaning. I need a head count of senders that have gotten their butts off their chairs and mailed their ornaments (I am not one of them ) I have.... Marilyn, Nancy, Elaine. Anyone one else mailed and had theirs received?

THIS IS NOT TO PRESS ANYONE INTO BEING RUSHED!!!! Take your time and have fun! It's just the organizer in me that needs to make little check marks on our list........

 

[LucyStorm]

I think they need lime green matching feather boas, lime green rhinestone studded sunglasses, and lime green straw hats.

Pam, whatever are you talking about? I don't ever recall accusing you of being a Peeping Tom. Must be mistaking me with Marilyn.

 

[helenabear]

Jennifer, I am all taken care of for the exchange (both ways) Bonnie sent me hers to me and I got them and Karen got mine

Ummmm.... I don't think so

 

[LucyStorm]

Um, Jennifer, add Bonnie and Jodie to your list as well of those who have sent and had theirs received.
