Wellll, I am in Freehold NJ, in my family room, in my recliner...
Of course they will cater the meetings!And they will give you a great deal--you know, they have to "cater" to the stars!!
I never get to see grown-up movies any more, so the awards don't really mean anythin, but I like watching to see the beautiful gowns and handsome men.
Of course they will cater the meetings!
that's one more thing off the checklist. 
are yelling for lunch. 
Geez. You guys have been busy busy since the last time I was on. Not even watching the oscars tonight. I'm so out of touch w/ movies, it wouldn't be worth it. Sort of sad for someone who was a theatre major and is currently employed in the tv/entertainment industry.
Good for you for raising a girl with some sense. You obviously did a great job teaching her the value of money. Its a tough thing to do these days. I hope I can do as well w/ DS.
BTW - Dreamin'... was it you that mentioned the Celtic Classic oh so many pages ago? I know it happens near you. We're actually thinking of going up for the Winter Classic next weekend.
Well, poor DS was really sick today. Fever and all, so he's safely tucked away in a tylenol induced slumber, and I'm exhausted, so I'm going to go off and find something non-nutritious and easy in the fridge to eat (DH is out, and I never manage to cook anything healthy when its just me. I normally eat w/ DS on nights that I'm home, but he just wasn't hungry. I managed to talk him into some juice and some applesauce w/ cinnamon, but that was it.)
Keep up the smiles everyone. And, good luck w/ the thread counts.. there's a lot of you getting so close!
I am curious to see different places, don't understand people who live their entire lives in one small area and never explore. 
Oh, that sounds like so much fun
We are flying to London, taking the train to Edinburgh, and taking the Royal Scotsman (fancy train) all around the Highlands for a week. Then we will take a train from Edinburgh to Glasgow to Dumfries and spend 2 days down in the Dumfries/Annan area, where my ancestors came from. Then it's back to London via train and fly home. My dad is a HUGE train buff, which is why that is our preferred mode of transport. And the Royal Scotsman takes us to so many cool places with interesting activities that we'd never be able to do on a regular trip. I've waited 25 years to get a chance to go to Scotland, and I am SOOOOOOOO excited!!!
DH wants to go back so he can golf. 
Free the full length gowns!
They're just taking up precious space anyway. Wear them at all inappropriate times and occasions. Its nice to remember what you look like outside of sweat pants. Last night I got reacquainted with my bustline...I was like, "hello again! Haven't seen you in weeks. How have you been?"
Why is there a smoking smilie? (someone brought that up yesterday) He looks rather sinister...
. Except being on the boards so I am going to try to do something maybe 
before Drs. appt.
Don't worry...I never seem to get anything done. And when I do, there's just more and more waiting to be done also. Vicious cycle.
Speaking of, it stills amazes me just how snarky people can be. My fave haunt, aside from here, is the Budget Board. Someone posted that tomorrow Dunkin Donuts is having 99 cent lattes in the afternoon, good to know, right?
A posted reply is that "this makes me sick", something about Starbucks closing for training, and DD taking advantage of it. So what? Aren't they a business? Don't they have a right to sell lattes as they see fit?
The OP meant quite well, and as a DD fan, I thanked her. There is no Starbucks around here, so this "sick" plan of DD really doesn't shake any of Starbucks' coffee beans around here. Point is, she was trying to let people know that there was a good deal around.
So much for good deeds going unpunished. I dislike snarky people. There, I feel so much better.
Did you see the deal for the free pictures from CVS? Think I'm gonna have to try this one. I'll copy and paste the instructions from the other thread for everyone. 
Ready to use as many smilies as possible. 
Now, back to winter!
Nice acceptance speech!
I'm impressed that you have a full length gown to wear. I don't think I have ever wore one - a nice one that is. The only gowns I own are old bride's maid dresses. 
Nasty!! That's not counting my wedding gown which I wouldn't fit into any way. I also have some nice cocktail dresses I used to fit into. 
Is it about creative things to do w/ peeps? Or, are we watching for interesting types of peeps? I saw some cocoa ones at the store today. Does that count? My MIL will only eat peeps if they are hard and stale. 
Later TKs!
This is the smilie I've always wanted to use. I like Statgate SG1.
DL55 - Saw you on the Peep Watch 2008 thread. What exactly is that all about?
Peep Watch thread? I was going to post more but must go to watch the peeps! I won't post there because I do not want to be a peep killer! 
around here.
for a week now)-
We are really windy right now. 
I will work up some care packages for ya'll over the weekend. 
(she culled the basil) but she has been swamped at school this week. She has County Science Fair on Thursday and is playing Grace Kelly in the Living History Museum Friday. 
I asked her about "wining siblings" she said it was whining siblings and she put it in for her BFF that has 3 sisters 
soon.
Bopsmom! Thank you so much for the seed packages that are coming. But as a newbie, how do I start? Do I get those teeny tiny pots and put them in? Do I need certain soils? Can I start them indoors or do I have to wait until spring? (whenever that may be). I really have no idea how to start, and would appreciate any advice you could give.

although sometimes it could be the way a person interprets because the written word lacks the subtly of oral language. I'm checking in today.
It's a cold, dreery, more-snow-again day here in WI. The temps were above freezing this weekend (near 40) and it was sunny. People were driving w/ windows open, washing cars, and jogging. It was like summer here.
Magikitty - Congrats on your Oscar.
whgrn - Size 12 is not PLUS size in my book. And, mother-of-the-bride at 31. That's just crazy talk! I also do not get into the Oscars. I don't really care about people in Hollywood. They're on another planet as far as I am concerned.
DL55 - Saw you on the Peep Watch 2008 thread. What exactly is that all about?
I discovered that Peeps have their own website. 
Morning all....snowing AGAIN here today. Really, this is ridiculous. 3-6 inches predicted. Schools in the county were cancelled since last night. I really just got the driveway cleared out from last week, and here we go again! Its only predicted to affect upstate New York and northern New England, so if you're there, or someone you know, wish them the best and safest day possible.
I'll send directions about planting. And you're daughter's project was just precious...
it's sooo her. who can clue me in on Peep Watch? (sounds so dirty.
I
The Peep Watch on the CB: co-worker is a rude, ignorant fool. (There is a separate thread discussing this co-worker) OP is leaving peeps in the co-worker's cubicle (anonymously). Other posters are giving their ideas as to where to put them or how to display them. The suggestions are funny
Hey, I like them hard and stale too!
Peeps grow to 3X their size in the microwave?!! How long do you put them in for? I HAVE to try this (of course, after I dig out). Do they explode after a certain time? Or just melt?
And how do you know this?
I like them stale too.
I've moved to Cadbury mini-eggs. But I only have them when I'm on the stepper. I may break even.
I always try to stay up to date on all the latest scientific research
in a variety of fields.
until I see the Cadbury bunny clucking on the TeeeVeee.
this one makes me laugh.
