The Ya Ya Express to the Wild West

[newmousecateer]

YaYa's, before I ketchup, just thought of something. Michele's brother has also been shipped out. Do you think we could check with Michele and see if her brother would also like to receive a package.....I think we could get enough together to send out two. What do you think?

[Dream]

Nancy, you are a great teacher. This student has been taking notes. Is there any homework?

Make a long wish list of charms......prioritize them and set your goal date for your number one choice

We don't want homework on the housework one.....that kind of takes care of itself.

Glad you had a great weekend Shep. For once the tristate area's weather was decent.

Marilyn, that is a great idea for Michele's brother. You are such a sweetie!

Got to run and get some big chores done around the house.

Great! Jennifer, you will collect the stuff? You are a sweetie. I can PM Michele for her brothers address. So those that would like....two packages will go out.

Jennifer and Jodie....love the idea of the scouts doing things for the packages. That will be so cool.

I will start my shopping on my lunch hour today. I am very excited about "contributing" to our soldiers.

Nancy, hi! Sorry you are feeling the blahs. But charms always help perk us up, don't they? Got my double dalmations charm this weekend. Sooooooooooo cute.

Betty, things are going well with my new lifestyle. I am very happy with it, and I am feeling great.

Hi Todd! Had a so-so weekend. How about you, Amanda and the girls? Hope you all had a good one.

Just saw the homework. I will get to work on that as soon as RL takes a break.

Supply question.????............shampoo and soap included too?
It wasn't mentioned on the list.
I have a huge collection of soaps/shampoos etc. from hotels.
Nice little bottles.......

 

[Meriweather]

Okay....I'm into my "reading" time
Catch ya all later.

 

[newmousecateer]

Nancy, yes, soap and shampoo was on the list.

Hi all!!

Don't have the baby this week and don't have the girls I watch until 2:30 so I have every morning to myself this week! (Well, DH is here! LOL) YAY!!
Went out this morning and picked up some groceries.

The packages for the soldiers sounds wonderful. I'll be sending Deb a PM after I post this.

Karen, good for you on the weight loss and the smaller jeans!
I lost 1 more pound!! YAY!! So, I am down 8 pounds now.

Still have this stinking cold.

Can someone post a pic of the Sorcerer Mickey hat charm? I've never seen one! Sounds cute.

Hi, everybody!!

Just wanted to let you know I'm still alive and well. BUSY, BUSY, BUSY with RL here at work and at home. Ya'll have managed to post almost 15 pages since I last visited--it's going to be awhile before I can ketchup with it all!

Just lost all my January transactions for a client that I posted on Saturday.....sigh.......If it isn't one thing, it's another. One good thing, I DID manage to get back into the pool this morning! All the snow and bad roads had me avoiding that extra drive in the AM. Felt good to swim again.

Ketchup with ya'll later!!

Thanks, Nancy!
That is cute. Now you know I'm gonna have to get one!

Hi Beth!
Good to see you! Sorry you've been so busy. Hope things slow down for you soon.
Congrats on getting back to the pool. That is great.

Okay, I did a little research concerning these care packages from a site suggested........

Looks like they would prefer waterless soap, shampoos.......

And some other ideas:
cocoa, coffee, juice mix, lemoande mix, gatorade
Beef jerky (no pork)
dried fruit, pop tarts, granola bars, cereal bars, candy, mints
throat lazenges, moleskin, chapstick, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, q-tips, pain relievers (tylenol, aspirin, etc), body wash
frisbee, playing cards, hand held games (with batteries), envelopes, pens, papaer, small note pads
Pringles is a biggie

And boxes should be kept small.....size of shoe box ....they get delivered faster and easier to carry around.
