I have this sudden strange urge to go outside and start pulling weeds and then mow. But that will have to wait because it's DARK now! When did it start getting dark before 9pm? That happened without me even realizing it! Anyway, after a bunch of running around I need to do after work tomorrow night (including stopping at the hardware store for new yard gloves and more yard bags), hopefully it will still be light enough to at least weed and I can mow in the morning. Or the other way around, whichever I feel like when the time comes. I guess I should mow first since I hate that more than anything.....get the crap work out of the way. I like pulling weeds for some reason. It's relaxing.

I noticed earlier this week that it's not so bright at 6am anymore...so days ARE getting shorter (ugh)

 

[iankh]

ha, I say that too, but our story is from a bar with Kamazies all around...you have 2 anniversaries now. The one from the beginning and the wedding. Since I'm so nice to my darling husband I picked our wedding day/date to match the meeting date (+5 years) and since I'm even nicer I tell him we can just use the Friday after Thanksgiving instead of the real date (11/30) of course what I really mean is you owe me for 3 anniversaries, get it

I like how you think.

Lisa - do you have anything like Party City near you? You could always look there too for things like table cloths, plates etc.

My sister has one by her - the party is going to be in Wilmington, NC so I'll probably have OT stuff sent there directly.

 

[LisaG520]

Lisa - maybe this will give you more ideas...

Awesome sight

I wanted her to have a tea party... oh well I'll have to take her to tea at GF some day.

Ian & Sukie invited me to join them last year for that Tea at the GF - LOVED it! I get to do it this year w/ Marilyn & John

 

[HollyTyler]

Since we haven't heard from Deb, I'm wondering if she did wind up having to get admitted to the hospital again. I hope she's able to post from there when she feels up to it.

 

[HollyTyler]

Super tired here for some reason. Goodnight all!

 

[mishoe01]

Nite Holly - I'm off to watch latest update on Hannah then to bed myself.

Nite everyone!

I apologize in advance to all of you who are striving to make good food choices.

I stopped at Cold Stone Creamery on my way home from work to use my birthday freebie coupon. Oh my gosh, I was expecting the smallest size they had, since it was free. It was the middle size, and she OVERSTUFFED it! I was only able to eat about 1/3, so I have more for later. I chose "birthday cake remix", which is cake batter ice cream, sprinkles, a brownie, and they drizzle chocolate syrup over the whole thing and then mix it all up. I was in heaven the whole ride home! SUPER yummy!

Sounds yummy! Especially the brownie

My niece's 7th birthday is next month. She has decided on a Pirate and Princess party (was originally going all princess but then wanted to invite 2 boys so we convinced her to add the pirate part).

We need suggestions for activities to keep about 20 kids busy for 3 hours.

So far there is going to be a pinata and cake.

Any ideas?

Let the kids decorate hats - princess crowns and pirate bandanas. I recommend having felts and stickers to decorate with; avoid glitter glue or white glue, because the kids glop it on too thick and it won't be dry at the party. You can do a small cake with cupcakes and let the kids decorate their own cupcake. Instead of pin the tail on the donkey you could have a stick figure and pin the crown or pirate eye patch on it. You can little plastic swords (like for cocktail drinks) and skewer pieces of fruit for healthy snack.

I'm suffering from horrible biological calendar problems. I feel like it should be Friday today.

Good new is that we got an email this afternoon that the company will close at 2PM tomorrow.

I am slipping into vacation mode very rapidly, even though I go back to work for one day next week, Tuesday.

So, how do Sukie and I count anniversaries after we're married. We've been together for 21 years. What do we count? If it's from the wedding, I'll be 78 years old by the time we reach our 25 wedding anniversary.

Even scarier is that by the time we reach our 25th wedding anniversary, we will have spent 46 years of our lives together


The moral if this story is ... be careful who you talk to at a cocktail party. You might wind up, waking up 21 years later, looking over and thinking, "Who the hell are you?"


.

You get to track both ways. Ken & I have been married 10 years, but we've been a couple for 18

Nite Holly - I'm off to watch latest update on Hannah then to bed myself.

Nite everyone!

I'm confused....what happened to Gustav? Did it already pass by? OK, now I'm really headed to bed.

smart.

I'm thinking I can find stuff at Oriental Trading for a scavenger/treasure hunt too!

they have pirate treasure maps too.

Yep - and we have reservations for the weekend of Sept 5th at CBR

Are you still working at EPCOT part-time?

cord blood registry?

Oh man......I want this...served by "Aunt Sue" or some other wacky cast member. Well, maybe I'll just have to settle for some fried chicken from the Plaza Inn at DL....oh wait....I think I already have about seven meals in mind for the two days I'm in the park!

.

I have that problem when I visit WDW.

Kelly - saw the email - REALLY wish I was going to be there.

sorry that so many of you won't be comiing.

I noticed earlier this week that it's not so bright at 6am anymore...so days ARE getting shorter (ugh)

Yes, and we'll be starting the 5K and marathon in the dark this year.

Ian & Sukie invited me to join them last year for that Tea at the GF - LOVED it! I get to do it this year w/ Marilyn & John

A CM friend of mine from Epcot took me there last year - loved it.

 

[Tink rules]

We all know how sweet Jan is, right? Well, I want to share another example of her big heart! Not sure if anybody remembers, but a while back, she posted a picture of the camo afghan she made for a baby gift, and I'd posted how much Tyler loved it when I showed it to him and he hoped Santa could bring him one.

Well, look what showed up in our mail yesterday for Tyler:

Jan is our ALL TIME HERO!!! And she also just volunteered with me to crochet scarves for fish gifts for the future Alaska Cruise!!!

Have you figured out if it's 21 or 20 yet???

I'm confused....what happened to Gustav? Did it already pass by? OK, now I'm really headed to bed.

No... I'm watching him... wondering if it vears this way, will I be able to make it out in time... They think Louisana, but TX just declared 61 counties emergency just in case and to day I saw all the highway signs telling us to keep gas in our cars... Fun stuff.. I may be evacuating for the first time...

 

[Tink rules]

Jackie...

Did you end up buying the Santa Fe? I ended up renting one of them down here in Houston... in a very nice blue color... nice truck!!! I keep pretending you and I are out for a drive, but mom keeps popping up in the passenger seat...

 

[JLSE50]

Hi Everyone! Looks like I picked a busy day to pop on......I thought today was the PC day, but I didn't make it on to see any of the webcams. Probably better that way, as I would have gotten so sad since I wasn't on!
I am going to try and keep up, we'll see how I do with that.

I am hanging in there. My vision is slowly starting to come back. I would say I have about 10% back at this point. Everything is in gray scale...
http://www.psych.ucalgary.ca/pace/va-lab/Brian/optic_neuritis_contrast.jpg
that pic is kind of how I am seeing right now, but that pic shows things much clearer than I can see. I can only shadows pretty close to me (like my hand in front of my face), but I can now tell where a window is or something like that....

I'll take all these improvements though and still believe that my sight will be 100% restored very soon. I am still showing no other signs of MS...which I hope to keep that way.

Thanks for all my emails and well wishes! They mean a lot.

Like i said, I am going to try and keep up here again, wish me luck

Great news!! Thanks for sharing.

Jan

 

[JLSE50]

Jan is our ALL TIME HERO!!! And she also just volunteered with me to crochet scarves for fish gifts for the future Alaska Cruise!!! .......

Man alive, fall 30 pages behind and discover what you have been volunteered for.......

: HOWEVER!! If this is ALL I have to do to get passage on an Alaskan cruise with you all, no money, just scarves,

OK.

I'LL DO IT!!

 

[JLSE50]

Hi guys. No good news tonight. I just got home from the emergency room. My leg is not doing well again. Leaking, bleeding, etc. They cleaned it out on the surface and put me on antibiotics. They sent me home to say that they wanted me to go back to my wound care specialist who has been treating me for the past year. They want him to do a deep cleaning. I'm not sure if that can take place in the office or if I'll have to be admitted again. I'll find out tomorrow. So if I disappear again for a little while, you will all understand why. I can't believe I've been in a year of treatment and they're still not well. Last August right after mom's funeral, I went into the hospital to take care of them and don't you know it's another August and I may be going back in. John or I will keep you posted. Say some pixie dust prayers and hope that all gets resolved this time once and for all. I'll be thinking of all of you.

Who has Deb's address? How about a Card Shower?

Jan

 

[Tink rules]

They don't know I'd crochet out of all the scraps I have left over from all the afghans I'VE made!!!

What do they call it??? Shabby Chic??? Is that even in anymore???

Maybe I can get a sale on lime green...

Oh yummy!!!

My dad will eat green beans at every meal too! Mom has to mix it up as she gets tired of them.

If only we all did what our doctors told us - I had pizza for dinner followed by a fun size twix

Only a fun size Twix?

Well, I guess a wedding anniversary is a wedding anniversary(seeing as you ae getting married), but as Nan said, go for 2 celebrations a year. In 25 years you have your Silver Wedding, then just 4 years later you have a Golden Celebration!!! Sorry I probably won't be around to celelbrate.

Since we haven't heard from Deb, I'm wondering if she did wind up having to get admitted to the hospital again. I hope she's able to post from there when she feels up to it.

I was wondering how she was and hope she isn't in hospital as she doesn't do well there. I remember last year she was so upset.
