Hi all, Bagels and cream cheese for breakfast...


Happy Anniversary SLO,

 

[Danauk]

Happy anniversary Slo, I hope you have a great weekend.

Today I went to get my $$ for our Christmas trip. I know it is a little early but the exchange rate is good at the moment and is supposed to drop soon as it has been good for us for a while so I figured seen as the money is saved up I might as well get the $$ now (we got $1.78 to £1) Anyway we went to the bank to withdraw the money to pay for the Amex cheques and the guy at the bank asked if the money was for anything special seen as we were taking out quite a lot. So we told him they were for the $$ for our WDW trip at Christmas. To which he replied that he was going at Easter and was envious that we were able to go at Christmas. So he asked us where we were staying and we told him the BCV. He told us he was envious of that too and that he was staying at Pop (which I told him I had heard good things about.)

Well this evening I have to go to the theatre for an extra rehersal. I will be there at some point every day now until next Sunday so I might not be around for a while.

Oh well, house work to do.

Good evening - well, my official anniversary is coming to a close, but the celebration is starting tomorrow . I think I told you that we are spending the night in downtown Chicago (geffric
- I forgot to PM you with my email address. Thanks for the offer again for the coupon) and Kevin (DH) has a surprise for me at 1pm downtown. I have no idea what. I'm pretty excited to find out!!. Then we are staying at The Drake and then we are going out to eat. After that we have no plans, so I think we may take a carriage ride, which is something we haven't done since we were dating. Then tomorrow we'll do a little shopping and then we'll come home. I'm very excited - it's going to be a great time!!

Thanks everyone for the Happy Anniversary wishes!!

I hope you all have a good weekend and I'll talk to you all really soon!!

Good morning guys,

Well my week off work has flown by, I wish I could have longer off especially as next week is the show I am in at the theatre. I spent all day yesterday at the theatre helping to put the set up (I love set up day!) The set looks amazing. The cloths are new and the actually wooden bit of the set is huge. Today we have a rehearsal with the band and then a technical rehearsal (where lighting ques are put in to the computer and the sound system is tested) and then we have to run the show. We have to be there for 1:30pm and I don't expect to be home before 10pm. It will be a long day!! I have most of my costumes now (I have 5 so far with 2 more to come today or tomorrow). I have a different costume to wear every time I go on stage!! I think I am going to have to lable each costume as to which scene it is for!

Oh well I guess I should go, the internet food shopping has just arrived.

 

[s&k'smom]

Danauk, I can't wait to hear how the play goes. It sounds so exciting.

Well chocolate cake was flying every where yesterday with DD's birthday. MMMMMMMMMMM it was good especially with ice cream. But to make sure the day was balanced we had pizza too!

Saw Star Wars Episode III Friday night. Oh if I was 20 years younger I'd be after Hayden Christian. Is he cute!

OK, I think we need a little section on learning today... Here are some sayings that have value...

These are full of wisdom!


* Your fences need to be horse high, pig tight and bull strong.

* Life ain't about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce.

* Keep skunks and bankers and lawyers at a distance.

* Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

* A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.

* Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.

* Meanness don't jest happen overnight.

* Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads

* Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.

* It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.

* You cannot unsay a cruel word.

* Every path has a few puddles.

* When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

* The best sermons are lived, not preached.

* Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway

* Don't judge folks by their relatives.

* Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

* Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.

* Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't botherin' you none.

* Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

* The easiest way to eat crow is while it's still warm, 'cause the colder it gets, the harder it is to swaller.

* If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.

* It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.

* Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.

* The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you shave his face in the mirror every mornin.'

* If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.

* Always drink upstream from the herd.

* Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

* Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it in.

* Don't squat with your spurs on.

*Never fry bacon naked.

How about some Chocolate Chip Pancakes for breakfast...

Topped with coconut syrup and chopped macadamia nuts. Tropical and yummie.

This morning I had a taste of someone's mocha shake - vanilla gelato, chocolate milk and espresso, oh, and whipped cream to top - a good start to the day.

 

[s&k'smom]

Chocolate chip pancakes my Dh's favorite.

thanks Ohana for those words of wisdome. I heard a old song the other day but had good words of wisdom

don't spit in the wind
don't pull on superman's cape

Gosh I just forgot the singer's name.

Good morning all. Still in VA but less than 2 weeks will be packing the truck up for Florida.

I had no idea how busy senior year is. Sam is going crazy with all the activities. We are having a grad party for her along w/ a few friends at someone elses house-thank goodness.

Won't probably get on much at all the next few weeks. And who nows how long it will take to set up the computer in FL. Will try and pop by before we leave. Be good
