Caller id can be a good thing...

 

[lizzie64]

Yes, but that only works when you let the phone finish the first ring. they pick it up instantly. I actually had one of My son's girl friends call the other night at 1 am. Well, needless to say, she won't ever call here again

Nancy is back!!! I am doing the happy dance.

Lizzie, you and your family are beautiful. You all look so happy. So what is the secret to have not one but two 15 year olds smile at the same time?

Hi Elaine. Hopefully your day will have some sweet surprises.

Hello Shep, why aren't you out golfing? Today is beautiful! DS can't find anyone home to go golfing with him and he is so bummed.

Kimmer, the twins are quite a good size. I never like to hear that babies are so tiny that I would be afraid to hold them. So did you hold both of them at once?

DD got good report at oral surgeons, but I was told that I may have taken her off the pain killers a little too soon. So I gave her one when we got home and she is now upstairs sleeping. She had a big day yesterday so I am sure that she is tired also.

 

[lizzie64]

Kimmie - That is soo funny. Hey the twins were a good size. Mine were 3lbs9oz and 3lbs4oz when they were born.

Betty - gladd DD is ok. Oh and the key to getting two teens to smile at the same time. - A disney fanatical mother who said if you don't smile for the picture with Mickey, I'll kill ya both.

 

[bfeller]

That must be the Ya Ya way.....it has always worked for me when pictures are being taken with both teens(ages 18 and 15)

Hiya yaya's!

Let's see if I can remember everything since I didn't write it down.

YAY that Beth likes Tastefully Simple. I LOVE the beer bread. So yummy delicious!

Tara....that's definitely a brag worthy story!!

Lizzie's pictures are awesome as are Sherry's.

Hi to Deena, Von, Kimmar, Elaine, Nancy, Betty and Rose Mary...and Shep!!

Oh.....CS....thanks for explaining that...I didn't know what FOTR was either.

I'm home sick today. Woke up with one of my nasty migraines so I popped in some imitrex and went back to sleep. It's much better now but I still feel very blah and head is still a bit wabbly.

I need to unpack more boxes but just don't have the motivation for it right now!

 

[flrose]

Nancy is back!!!!! Yeah!!!! Good to see ya!

Lizzie, your family pics are great! What a handsome family you have. Sherry had family pics, too! I have got to get my rear in gear and figure out how to use the digital camera and post pics.
I'll just add that to the HUGE list of everything else I need to do.

Glad you had a good time at the party Beth. I have never been to one of them but, I just LOVE spinach dip!!!

Tara congrats on the paper!

I received my acceptance letter from the company I am going to work for. I had to sign it and mail it back and upon SUCCESSFUL
completion of: criminal background check, drug screening & reference check I'm in. SO, hopefully my association with this wild and crazy band of YaYa's will NOT effect the outcome, .

Betty glad to hear your DD got a good report at the docs.

I know I have left something out but, I'm still under the influence of sinus meds. But, at least starting to feel better.

gotta get back to work. Bye all!!

 

[lizzie64]

Thanks Kristy and Rose Mary.

Rose - those were actually taken with a regular camera. I just had cd's made also when we developed them. We have a digital camera and use it alot, but when we're on vacation I revert to my old ways and use the regular camera.


Kristy - hope you feel better. I get migraines and man do they make you suffer.

 

[helenabear]

Liz, I love your pictures!!! And I see you have one in your siggy too! Word of warning before the signature patol comes to you, you'll probably need to shrink that picture up so it fits in their guidelines

Deena, sounds like a great group to play Bunco with Some day I will have to learn how to play it

Todd, I agree with caller ID... I'd die in the house w/o it

Kimmar, sounds like a nice weight for the kids. A friend of mine had a baby that was just a hair over 6 pounds and she was a loner Glad to hear all are fine!

Betty, glad that the appt went well. I wouldn't worry about the pain killers too much. I only took mine when I needed them as did Luis and we were fine. I think if she is okay w/o then don't worry (of course they know more than me but that's just my thoughts )

Kristy, sorry you are home sick today. I hope your migrane doesn't keep you under the weather for too long.

LOL Rose Mary... we Ya Yas have a good way of keeping our tracks covered How are you feeling today??

Day is over halfway done!! Yay

 

[lizzie64]

Oh yikes Elaine -

How do I shrink it???

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

LIZZIE!!!! What a great set of pix!!!! Gorgeous family!!!!!

Kimmar, can't wait to see the new twins! I just LOVE itty bitties!!

YIPPEE!! YAHOO!!!!! AND HOORAY!!!!! Nancy's back!!!

Hi, Laine! Boring day, huh? Come help me, I'm still playing Sherlock!

Whoo-hooo!!! I just got a call from Von and we are getting together tonight!!!! A real mini Ya Ya meet right here in Virginny!!

Tara, that brag was worth every word!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!! Don't feel bad about writing books, I do it all the time

Kristy, hope your head is better soon. Yes, that beer bread is fantastic!!! They were also talking about people who make it with orange soda! Sounds like it might be a good breakfast bread that way.

Betty, glad to hear DD had a reasonably good follow-up. First time I've heard of a dentist doing that and I think it's GREAT!!! Too often we get sent on our way and that's it.

Oh, Rose Mary You mean I shouldn't have told that guy about your nekkid dance??? Oh dear..........Hope it doesn't ruin your chances with the new job. (j/k!!)

Hey, Shep!!

Back to the grindstone--almost finished!!! Catch ya'll later!

 

[CourtasanSatine]

[lilboo]

!@&#*&@%!%!$$$!!!! DIS SMILIE LIMIT!!!! WTH!!!!! I type up my ketchup....all the smilies are embedded...I'm an ARTIST...I can't be HINDERED by the TEDIOUS counting of smilies...I hit to submit...no go...hit the back button hopin beyond hope...gone forever!!!!!*(#@(*&#@(&#@&@#&!!!!

NANCY...oh I had this BEAUTIFUL spread...scantily clad CABANA men...Maurice was waiting with a Lei and a tropical spiked smoothie....gone...all gone! Well here's Maurice anyway:

Nice pics lizzie lady!

Get well Kristy!

Beth...you're meeting VON!!!! I live practically next door to the gal and I've NEVER met her! We want pics...esp. if you're dancing on any table tops by evening's end.

Sorry so lame....must have lunch and I CAN'T GO ON w/out smilies.

 

[helenabear]

Liz, I would go to the tech board. They can help there. I won't be home until late otherwise I would have you e-mail it to me and I'd resize it for you. Since I don't have the right software I can't do it here. Mary Jo & JC are nice If they aren't around feel free to e-mail me (helenabear@columbus.rr.com) and I'll help you when I get home. Or if you have photo editing softare you can try yourself. There should be an image size option you can play with. You need to make sure it is under 400 pixels by 400 and 35K bytes. If that doesn't make sense, go back to the Tech support board option and the e-mail me option

Oh Beth, I would LOVE to play Sherlock with you!!! I have a nice long PM I get to read so that will help me for a while though

Todd sounds like fun!!! I wish Luis would get into golfing. I think he'd enjoy

CS, what are you watching for?

Jeannie, I feel for you on those smilies. I was lucky and didn't lose my post but it happened to me earlier. I hope that I remember to count in the future (and that makes five!)

 

[Pam]

I'm an ARTIST...I can't be HINDERED by the TEDIOUS counting of smilies...I hit to submit...no go...hit the back button hopin beyond hope...gone forever!!!!!

Yeah - what Jeannie said! Actually .... I just love the little buggers!!

Tara - I amso proud of you, way to go!!

Lizzie - what a beautiful family you have! Your DD is gorgeous! And Sherry - your Niagara Falls photos are great - you have such a nice group of guys!!

Kristy - hope the headache goes away!

Betty - Hooray that Allison is on the mend!

Rose Mary - so if anyone asks, we have never heard of you, right??

Welcome home, Nancy! We've missed you!

HI Beth, Deena, Elaine, Satine, !

Todd - my DS will be on the HS golf team this fall - sounds like you're quite the golfer, want to be his coach??

 

[shep]

Pam--Love to golf but not very good at it...

 

[dizneenut]

UGH!! My wonderful DH decided to mess around with my laptop yesterday and managed to screw it all up. He had to reboot it and now I have the fun task of getting my PC back to how I had it. Blech!!

NANCY!!! Good to see you!!

Lizzie, great pics.

Tara, sorry about your headache. Hope your feeling better.

Rose Mary, hope you are feeling better today.

Beth, glad you enjoyed your party last night. Have fun with Von. Make sure to take pics!!

Betty, glad DD's follow-up went well.

Kimmar, can't wait to see pics of your new niece & nephew. I just loooove babies!!

Guess what? Went grocery shopping this morning and I did sooo good. My best savings yet. I had a coupon for everything in the cart. With coupons and card savings, I saved 66%!! I am so proud of myself. I had a $20 gift card (that I got for transferring a prescription) so I only paid $9.14 for all my groceries. And I got my stockpile started!! YIPEE!!

OK, sorry....just had to share. I am sooo excited. DH & my boys think I'm nutso!! LOL

Beautiful day here today. Think I'll grab the boys and go for a walk in a little while.
