[2bemarried]

Karen sneated in on me. glad to hear you're doing better today.

 

[Meriweather]

Table and rug for the scrapping room, huh? Something fancier than a folding table?

Uh.....no, folding table. Is there anything else??

So what new outfit does Dizzy have??

Back to cleaning.....

 

[helenabear]

Hi y'all... dealt with dumb Ohio drivers. I hate this city sometimes. I think traffic was particularly bad with the holiday (and me working right by the major mall in the area). I had to stop at the mall and drop off my wedding set... I've almost lost it about 5x too many so it is being resized. I'll get it back on the 25th In the mean time I am wearing a dainty claddaugh that is still too big (5 1/2 and I guess I wear a 5 now).

I still cannot find my wrist brace and until I do, I have to curb my tiem on the computer at home. Or I need to go buy a new one So I might be lurking a lot more than usual in the evenings.

Kristy, glad to hear that the meds are helping break up the congestion

Howdy Caroline! I do hope your headache goes away soon!

Lily, don't work too hard just because you took some time off

Wish that a trackball would help me, but hte small movements that go down to the wrist actually hurts me more (I really shouldn't scroll even as much as I do). My elbow isn't good, but my wrist is far worse... only optical mice for me

Speaking of wrists... I need to stop for now. So to you Karen and to Nancy. Sorry I cut out early, but this really hurts quickly at home.

Just popping in to say I have been taken over by aliens and they in the cleaning mood. That is just so not me, I hate to clean but since I have been in the mood for it the past couple of days Im taking advantage of it (the mood hits again next year ).
I dont always catch Oprah but today it had her friend Nate berkus who was in one of the area's wiped out by the Tsunami. His partner didnt make it, they have not been able to locate him. Sooooo sad.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Hey Ya Yas!
Beth, you can move here...plenty of snow. Have Dave put in aps around town. You will oh so love it!

Kristy, enjoy your lounging. Hope you are back to good tomorrow!

Karen, I have the day off officially here too. So far I have logged 5 hours of work. I am going back at it again. Will see how many more I am up to do.

Nancy, hope you are enjoying your cleaning. You've been at it allllll day.

You know being quite here today will give me a chance to read a couple more pages in ketchup land. Long way to go there.
Later...

[Meriweather]

Yes, I have been cleaning all day

See ya all later.

Evening Ya Yas!

My lazy day continues to be lazy, but my headache is mostly gone. Yay! I did get some tidying up done today, so that's good. Also, my wrists are no longer ouchy, so that's good too. I wonder if I just slept funny one night? I know at work sometimes my one hand starts acting up, but that's because we have the world's least ergonomic desks. Anyhoo .. I'm glad it's better.

Kimmie, hope you had fun with your in-laws. If mine were in the yard, I'd probably be going downstairs to make sure the door *was* locked.

Lily, somewhere around here I have pictures of Pistachio and Soda with their Santa hats and reindeer antlers. I have to figure out where we saved those. I loved your race pictures. The one of you by the Brown Derby is great!

Tara, congrats to Ethan on his tooth. Hope teething isn't too rough on him. The picture you posted from the hill was really great. The sky looks so pretty.

Liz, your SIL sounds like a piece of work. I'm sorry you have to deal with that. I still haven't figured out what 'cheeto'ing is, but if Ya Yas go after your SIL, I'm in.

Kristy, that stinks about the sinus infection. I hate those! Hope the meds work fast for you. Estoy feliz tu acabó su preparación. (I can't remember if that's right or not .. probably not, d'oh!)

Deena, I should probably know this, but what's a Bunco? Hope the cleaning went well.

Elaine, sounds like you got some good shopping done. I need to buy new pants too, but I'm holding out on the next size down. I seem to be between sizes right now .. my stuff is too big and I'm always pulling up my jeans, but the ones I have one size down are still a bit tight. Wearable but tight. I've actually had some Christina swim suits before. If I recall correctly, they were nice and long-lasting. Our mini is so cute he has a name - Murray. heehee Hope you got that 'messed up' thing worked out at work. Nothing like getting saddled with someone else's mistake.

Karen, I'm glad you're headed back to the official bed. I end up on the couch some nights because my honey's a snorer. I have some earpluggs that still let me hear things, but block out most of the noise. If I fall asleep first it's usually ok. The other thing I take is an herb called Valerian. It comes in capsules and is a natural sleep aid. I've been an insommniac since .. well, since ever, so it comes in handy. It's not strong like sleeping pills and just kind of lulls you to sleep. Not sure if you can get it in the States, but I would imagine so. Scary story about the police at your door. I'm glad they weren't looking for you guys!

Suzanne, I like your new topper bouquet. Very cute. I have the same problem with our couch - I'm convinced it has special make-you-sleepy powers. The Princess Bride is my favorite movie, though. My wedding dress was a copy of one of Buttercup's.

Stacy, I'm gonna have to go for some japanese soon. I've been thinking about it all day!

Nancy, sounds like you got some good shopping done too. And good deals! I was reading about the Yankee sale in another thread .. I guess it's probably for the best that I don't have one here - heh. Lily's new outfit is really cute.

Beth - hooray for snow! Wrists are doing better. I'm not sure what I did to them, but apparently they forgave me.

JRKaren, glad you had a productive day. Hope the rest of the day went well for ya. So, do I have to get a 'JRKaren Stalkers Club' t-shirt for Beth now, too? I better just have a bunch printed. I think this could be the next big fad.

Hi Susie! Hi Kimmar! Hi Pam! Hope you all had a great Monday!

Ok, Chinese food is on the way! Yum! Gotta get ready. Talk to everyone later.

ps - the smiley police came after me again, so please imagine more smileys throughout. heehee

 

[lizdotcom99]

I have been inspired......thanks Nancy for making me go out and go shopping. How did I NOT find any of your good deals.....went to TDS....nothing good.....then went to YC.......even less. So, I guess I saved a ton of money...until I went to the grocery store So that was just about all of my day. Thanks Nancy for making me go shopping.....wish I would have found some of your bargains. Next time!!

Pam, your bathing suit sounds delightful. Pics plese....or is this not THAT kind of site?

Kristy, hope that you are feelong better. How is that spanish homework coming along......que passa?

Lily, great pics....again I have been inspired!!! Greg said he would walk with me next year if I really want to do it. So, I am cure gonna try and see what I can accomplish in a year. Of course I am gonna have LOTS of questions.....best you empty that PM box

Bethie, do post pics of Dizzy. I want to see her new ......bows!!!

Caroline, thanks for sending the cold here! Can you take is back now? I am quite done with it now.

Suzy, hi there!!! How was your weekend? You know we ALL want to know!!

Lainey, sorry your wrists hurt. I have yet to have hurty wrists.....but I don't have your post count either!!! Enjoy your quiet evening!

Stacy, I bet you are glad your hubby is home. I sleep much better with Greg around too. Funny how that works out, isn''t it?

Sherry, where have you been hiding? Kids have the day off or school? Hope you had fun!

Deena, you can always come here and clean. I would love the help in getting my border down and room painted too.....now that I thing about it. What are ya doing next week?

Suzanne, pray for really warm weather the first weekend in February. Maybe we can convince Greg we need to move!! He is going that weekend to visit Aunt Helen in Hudson....maybe she can get him to stay. A girl has to dram ya know!

Tara, your celebration of Rick sounded lovely. How is your weight loss coming along. I forgot to weigh in today....so I will have some official results tomorrow....but it may not be good......water retention is just SO ugly!!

JRKaren, you work WAY too much!!! Slow down there girl. Glad to hear that you are doing OK today though. Hugs!!!

Well, I still have a trip to the library to make and then to the other grocery store...as the one I went to earlier did not have everything I needed. Go figure!! Anyway, I am over and out and most likely will catch you all tomorrow!! Have a great evening one and all!!!!

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Evening Everyone,

Just got done with a brownie and a glass of milk and I feel like I could just fall asleep at the keyboard. Wow Im tired. But ya know what?? I had a good day. I wasn't as worn out, stressy, hyper, etc.....as I normally am. I think the Prednisone is finally out of my system and also I think my sleeping last night and in a regular bed helped a lot.

Caroline yep we sure can get Valarian here. I will take a run over to GNC and see what they have. I would rather not take sleeping pills or even over the counter sleep aids because they make me goo goo the next day. This sounds like something that just might work for me. Im glad you had a quiet day to get things done that you wanted to. Im glad your headache is gone away. Ohhhhhhhhh I would love to see Pistachio and Soda in their christmas gear!!!!

Lily great photos. Thank you so much for sharing them. I am so proud of you for what you accomplished!!! Don't work too hard now.

Suzanne now I want a bud vase for my car too!!!! I loe your toppers!!

Nancy put the duster down and step away ROFL!!!! Take some you time okay?? I love Lily's new outfit. It is so cute!!! Sounds like you got some awesome deals when you went shopping.

Kristy glad to hear you are feeling better and glad you took the day off to rest. You need to get yourself strong to help the antibiotics fight this off.

Bethie I am so glad you got to see snow!!!! Wooooo hooooo. Hopefully there will be more than just a few flakes in your future. How was ding a ling practice?

Liz Im sorry you didn't find any deals when you went shopping. I went out looking for backpacks for the kids....lets see this only makes the fourth ones and we are only at the begining of the third term LOL. I managed to find one 30.00 backpack on sale for 12.00 and one 30.00 backpack on sale for 7.00 and they were just exactly what the kids wanted. I was shocked "I" found a sale on something. Normally if I want it it's not on sale LOL.

JRKaren Im glad you were able to keep busy today and that it wasn't too hard on you. HUGS sweetie.

Elaine I hope you find your brace or are able to get another one. We would miss your smiling face here if you couldnt DIS from home!!! Im glad you got whatever it was figured out and handled today.

Well I think I'm gonna go snuggle into bed and go to sleep. Im wiped out. Im sorry if I missed you it wasnt intentional. HUGS to everyone I missed.

Caroline--Bunco is a game you play with dice. 12 ppl play and there are 4 ppl per table (2 teams) and you roll for points. At the end of the night the one with most Bunco's wins, the one with the most games wins, 2nd place and we have a poo poo pot for those who didnt win, if they get their name drawn they win too. We play for money.
Liz--I love you dear but dont expect this cleaning phase to last and if I could dp boarders I would have the ugly crap that is in my bdrm down long ago. I learned my lesson trying to do that stuff myself when we took on our kitchen There were layers upon layers of ugly wallpaper in our kitchen (have I even mentioned my EXTREME dislike for the ppl we bought our house from).

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Nancy is done cleanng making dinner now. The fun just never stops.
Elaine needs Nancy to come over and clean. She needs her wrist braces. No reference intended to your domestic skills. Just trying to help![/]
Caroline enjoy the Chinese dinner.
Karen, hope you have pleasant dreams.
Deena, sorry you can't seem to do dp borders. What is that?
Liz, fire away with the questions! I will assist where I can. I hope you can enjoy the experience. The best part of the experience was going through it with the folks over on the WISH trainig thread. You really want that whole expereience...you should join them too.

I'm up to the part where SSB is recovering from surgery.Glad that was a success! And lets see...Caroline has been saying that she is going to post pics of her Christmas ferrets. Liz is dealing with the SIL from He**, but seeing those young uns dancing away. Karen found her earring--rather her DS did. Kimmie and her mother exchanged similar jewels for Christmas. Everyone is playing crockpot! Spouses have different dietary needs. OK, I'm fading on it all now. Maybe I'll get to more tomorrow.
later...

Hi All !!!
I am in such a blah mood. I am depressed and feel like a failure!! I MUST be pmsing or something..(sorry men).. Everything I ever do or try to do always ends up wrong. I am the worst Avon Lady in America. I can't find customers anywhere so my sales are really bad. I keep saying I should quit but then I would have to buy the products I use every day from someone else. My manager doesn't return phone calls or emails.
THEN I found out I got a "w" in algebra which means I didn't pass my class and have to repeat it and repay for it all over again. I mean what the heck will I ever do with algebra anyway?? I go to college part time for Teaching Special Education!!! At least my teacher was kind enough not to give me an F so my grade point average wasn't damaged.
Has anyone ever been in a mood for nothing? I mean I don't know why all of a sudden I got this way. I guess I was doing too much thinking and I feel like crying but I can't even do that right..
uuuggghhhhh I hate this !!!
and I am NOT even tired enough just to go to bed...

sorry for bringing you all down!!! thanks for letting me complain... I just wish I knew what to do to get OUT of this mood...

 

[TLinden16]

Good morning everyone! It's a balmy 7 degrees here in Boston this morning. I think it's time to break out the shorts and tank tops for the commute to work.

Stacy, you need a big Sorry you are having a rough time. You are not a failure. I'm sure there are lots of wonderful things that you really excel at--I don't know you well enough to know what they are, but I do hope you will share them with us And I agree with you about Algebra--I've never used algebra in real life. How come they don't have college courses in balancing a check book?

Lily, wow, you are really going back and reading everything you missed. No one said anything bad about you (well, actually, we did, but we all went back and changed the posts before you got back so you couldn't see all of the horrible things we said about you--like you are just too nice and too fun).

Karen, good to hear that you are getting some rest these days Take care of yourself.

Elaine, hope you find your wrist rest.

Deena and Nancy are both cleaning? That's scary You both should come over here and take care of my cleaning too.

Caroline, did you get enough Chinese food to share with all of us? Did you know that sharing Chinese food with your Yaya friends is mandatory? What did you get us? I love General Tso's (or Gau's) chicken.

Liz, yes, I do work too hard sometimes. But I do like those overtime checks. It comes and goes in spurts. I was going to go in early today, but changed my mind. It's too cold to go to work early (not that it's going to be any warmer if I leave later).

Well, I think that will do it for now. Hugs for everyone

[helenabear]

I'll ketchup in a few... but I wanted to say this before any more time has passed...

Happy Birthday Nancy!!!!!

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Morning,

Ugh I discovered dh has a habit that I didn't know anything about until this morning. Seems he sets the alarm for 5AM but doesnt get his tush out of bed before 5:30. He hits the snooze alarm constantly between that time. I am NOT a happy camper being woken up at 5. I told him this morning either he changes the way he does things in the morning OR if I'M UP HES UP!!!

pfishgirl Im so sorry things are going wrong for you. They seem to go in patches like that don't they?? You can come here any time and vent and we will be here to give ya hugs.

Welp better get my tushie in gear and get the kids off to school and me off to work.

Hope everyone has a SUPER SPECTACULAR DAY!!!!

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Happy Birthday Nancy!!!!!!

 

[helenabear]

Hi all! No luck on the brace. All I remember was taking it off and tossing it somewhere on Friday when Luis called me to do something. Where I tossed it, I can't seem to figure out. And unfortunately it is almost hte same color as our carpeting & one of my throws ... easy for me to quickly over look it. I'll probably just go out and buy a new one. I'm trying to be very good and use it all the time now when I type & work on my computer.

Deena, good luck with allt he cleaning... when you are done wanna come here and help me?

Elaine needs Nancy to come over and clean. She needs her wrist braces. No reference intended to your domestic skills. Just trying to help!

No offense taken here... actually I could use all the help I can get!!

Stacy, sorry about your day. I can tell you that you aren't a failure!!! Just keep at it with everything. And math was never my strong point (still isn't). Did you think you were close to failing math for her to give you a "w"? I remember at OSU that stood for "withdrawn" and didn't realize teachers could do that for you (nice though... should've done that myself a couple times ) But good luck next time, I am sure you'll do great!

JRKaren, smart of you not to go in early today... it's freezing here today as well (well actually below zero to be a bit more specific). I doubt I could ever owrk that many hour... 40 is killer for me as it is!!!

Karen, sorry about the snooze thing. I have to admit I have never been one to do that... I do wake up before the alarm goes off though, but once it goes off, I'm up!

 

[believe]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANCY!!!! :thewave: Stop cleaning and enjoy it

Karen...I do the same thing your DH does. I think Todd has just gotten use to it. We have a dual alarm. The first time it goes off is to get my mind thinking about getting up. The second time means I really have to get up.

Stacy...hope things get better for you soon.

Elaine...good luck find your brace.

Back to work today..UGH! Frustrated with weight, but I'm trying to remember that since I am adding exercise back in it could be the muscle building back up... I am staying away from sweets and fried food..not sure what is going on. Spent last night cutting/washing fresh fruit and steaming some broccoli. Cassie ate most of my pineapple...she is more on the healthy side than Todd and Mandy. Made Todd some Raspberry Cobbler, I did have some also...a small treat. Later this week I am going to make him Strawberry shortcakes. I also have to bake for work and was thinking about lemon bars.

Better get to work. Everyone have a great week!
