Keep me posted on the Zoo meet, and the Mall meet. I might be able to make one of them!

Hi all. Well, it's been a busy evening. Cooking dinner for DW, cleaning up and my parents called. I emailed them the pics I posted earlier but for some reason their ISP didn't let the zip file in. Sooooo... I get to resend them one by one. Not terribly difficult, but a pain to have to redo it. DW also wanted a couple treats, so if any Ya Yas want grape jello or chocolate fudge pudding, come on over!

Thanks for the kind words about the house. Funny thing is when I get sales calls from companies selling siding. Um... how much wood is on this house? Very little. Kinda funny, really.

No cookie sheet sledding today. Things started to turn to slush, so that made it tough. I didn't feel like sliding thru mud.

Well, off to see how DW is holding up. PD to the sicky Ya Yas out there. I'll check in later.

[debster812]

Oooooh, yes GP. Get all the little germies!!!! Of course, I think Bubble Boy and I contributed to all of this, so sorry

Geesh... quiet around here. Guess I'll go back to my yearbooking. Ho hum.

Teensy ketchup first though...

Debbie, I remember your spider vacuuming (is it one c, two uu's or two c's one u? I can never remember. ) escapades!! Sounds like something I'd do. I once tried to trap a mouse under the fridge by hurling well aimed kitchen hand towels around the edge of the fridge. Bwahahaha! Like that would really keep him in there. It was all I could get to while crawling around on the counter tops though.

Hey! Somebody heard me! Yay! Thanks Deb! I just couldn't figure out what that fluff stuff was used for. Now I know!

Hmmm.... Ok, so maybe the frog thing was one of those: Ya have to see it to believe it things. The ONLY reason I don't remember much from the evening is was because it was so late and I was tired.... and.... stuff.

President pre-empted Hollywood Squares! Big dummy.

What's this? The cabin boys are bored because all of their yayas are sick?

No way... mine's been with me nursing me back to health.

 

[helenabear]

Jay, you are such a sweetie to take care of your DW like that Just sorry you couldn't go sledding

LOL GP!!! You are so funny

Kimmie, two "U"s

 

[debster812]

Kimmie, two "U"s

But...how many "C"s????

And...how many "M"s when you add -ing? Is it two of everything?

LOL at the dishtowel mouse cell Kimmy. Funny

 

[helenabear]

One "C" two "U"s I always had trouble with that one as a kid.

Now what about the M's??

 

[debster812]

WE NEED A YA YA ENGLISH TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Anyone know? Now this is going to bug me all night!!!

 

[iluvorlando]

The president preempted the squares? How come? Anything I want to know about?

Well, I am off to try and create an Awana email list. Seems like I am going to lose the majority of my leaders...kids moving up and all....

Jodie, I hope you feel better soon and if you don't--get thee to the doctor!!

Bonnie, sorry the boss is up to her old tricks. What's that saying? You can teach an old dog new tricks.

Well, off I go...

Good night all!!

Ps....vacuuming (pretty sure).

Yeah! ....and do you drop the E to add ING? Oh wait... no E on the end of vaccuumm.... or is there???? VACCUUMME?

Think fast!!! What's the K/C rule? It starts with a K if it's followed by an E or an I. .....and a C if it's followed by an A, O or U. Kim starts w/a K and not a C because it's followed by an I, Cameron starts with a C instead of a K because it's followed by an A. Crud. That's not right..... is it? Some sub I am huh? Oooh! Now I remember! "K comes before I and E... C before the other three!!" I think. Oh never mind.... just remember... she only had TWO hours sleep last night.


Who... me, rambling? Nu uh!

Little tight...I'll get back to you tomorrow though. Just got back from a planning meeting and I think I am also off for the night. See you all in the morning.

 

[helenabear]

Hi Michele!!! Hi Jennifer!!

Oh I see... nope I think it is a single M for -ing in all cases I can think of... blooming, vacuuming (okay those are the only two I can think of). English is a pain... that's why my sister majored in it and I took only what was required

 

[newmousecateer]

You all are nuts!

I before E except after C. I remembered that one!

Ummmm, anyone beside me glad you don't have a child in a Kimmie class? A rambling Nyquil swigging sub. (j/k) I am sure you are a wooooooooonderful teacher. (Why do I picture Kim subbing a high school class and swaping stories about seeing huge frogs over the weekend?)

Night Jennifer. Night Jodie. Feel better Jodie.

Awwww, Jay didn't get to go sledding. Hey! Mud sledding might be fun.

Bonnie, pooh on your boss. I hate it when they shape up and then slide right back down again. The cheeto patrol will be on the ready...just whistle!

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

Nope---humming, ramming, cramming, dimming........

And it's I before E, except after C or when pronounced as A as in neighbor or weigh. Never heard the C/K thing.

Exciting night here--I folded laundry, ran the dishwasher and made a pan of brownies. Did a quick read on all your mothiness since I was last here. Glad to hear Brad is taking good care of our Jodie, Kim has her cabin boy cosseting her as she recovers, Jay is showing his lime green side again and taking good care of his DW (and he didn't ruin any of her cookie sheets!). GP brought the Raid and the marshmallow Fluff (personal YUK, there). Bonnie declared it to be party time but made Michele give back Jay's lucky garters and get off the swing. So who's on swing duty tonight? Thank you, whoever is taking over for me, I'm tuckered out again and heading for my upper berth.

See ya's in the AM!!! Sleep well with sweet dreams, everyone!

 

[newmousecateer]

Hi Beth. Night Beth. Sweetest of dreams.

You all left, and I'm kinda tired too. See you all tomorrow.

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

Hey!!! Marilyn sneated in!!! Are you still here, sis?? We actually managed to be on at the same time!!

 

[helenabear]

Well I am about to head off for the night too

Good to see you again Beth... don't be a stranger now... especially if you have a pan of brownies

See y'all tomorrow

 

[debster812]

G'night everyone. Get lots of rest so all the Ya Ya germies don't sneat in and get us too!!!!
