HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANCY!!!

 

[Kama89]

Sheesh! Can't believe the day is more than half over already!! I need more hours in my days, this is just ridiculous!

Snerk! Loved the ketchup, Susie! Very clean, concise and complete! Bravo!

Stacy, you are more than welcome to come here to let out frustrations. That's part of what we're here for. Funks, whether we have a valid reason, little... or no reason at all are so frustrating. I am one that falls into "funks for no reason" ALL the time. It makes me very angry at myself, yet still they come. Ugh. We're here anytime via the thread and/or PM!

Trackball mouse here too. I'm hooked. Can't really even use regular ones anymore, they make me crazy.

Pam missed out today. One skunk, and three somethings that would fall into the unidentifiable category. She could've cooked for the entire CB!!

Nancy is one year younger today! Before ya know it, we'll all be able to celebrate the big 2-1 again! Woooooo!

Valerian root! Ack! I took that once and I swear, I had the most horrendous nightmares that night! I blamed it on the Valerian and haven't tried it since.

Lily, the inlaws will be building on our property.

Caroline, your wedding dress was modeled after Buttercup's?!? I love that!! Isn't that movie wonderful!? We wore out two VHS versions before getting it on DVD.

Time to drag the kid back to his Beowulf.

Have a good evening!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANCY!!!!!!

Hi all. I know I have been in hiding for a while now. Just have not been myself lately.
Cannot even try a ketchup.

Hello to all the new Yaya's

We are having great weather here. Suppose to be about 80 for the next few days. Did have a lot of rain this past month though.

We are planning another trip to Disneyland at the end of the month. Always try and get a visit in when I have my Doctor appts. in San Diego. We are finally getting to stay at the Grand Californian.

For all of the new Yaya's my name is Tina. I live in southwestern Arizona. I am a very young forty years old. I am married and we will be celebrating our seventeenth anniversary next month. Have one child Jessica who just turned 14 Dec 31.

Can someone unfreeze me please?


Did you trying licking the flagpole again????

Tina,
I have been wondering how you have been. I'm glad you checked in!! Have fun at Disneyland!

 

[helenabear]

Hi to all you EOIPers... hope things slow down.

I finally got a new brace. It's different than the one I had before, but more like the one I have at work... it's really not fun trying to get used to a new one though.

My nose wont' stop running I don't know if it is because of the extreme cold we've had or something worse

Time to drag the kid back to his Beowulf.

I hated that story... we read the "untranslated" version and it was rough!!!

Tina, so good to see you Enjoy planning that DL trip. I have stayed at the GC just once and it was wonderful

Did you trying licking the flagpole again????

Karen, I'd unfreeze you, but there is nothing here that might help. Off to make some hot tea or hot chocolate... haven't decided which yet....

 

[Meriweather]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANCY!!!

Love ya, Kimmie
Thanks for more birthday wishes.

Nice to see you again RM and Tina.
Tina....the GC is WONDERFUL!! I don't think I can stay anywhere else on those DL trips!

Well, first batch of Christin shopping is done Over $500!!
We decided on Coach Carter and it was great. Gotta love those "feel good" sport movies.

Liz, birthday list on the way to you.

Elaine....I think we did trade back weather......hasn't stopped raining for 2 days and the river is getting mighty full. Warm weather is melting the snow in the mountains too.

Gotta get some things put away and get ready to head out to dinner.

 

[TLinden16]

I got a PM from KristaTX's mom today. Krista made it into the hot seat at WWTBAMPI today, and she made it to the million point question, and missed it If memory serves me correctly the question was, "Who is the founder of Motorola?" (or some company--I'm too lazy to check my PM's right now). Yay to Krista for making it that far! Too bad you didn't win You'll be back in a few months and can try again.

Pam, I did not lick the flagpole. I've just got a chill in me. I live in a really old drafty house.

Reboot. I couldn't help myself.

Beth, No! Not more snow with Alberta. I don't want anymore...you go there, or better yet, come here.

Nancy, whoa...lots of dollars there. Glad she found stuff though. I usually hate buying stuff. I can never feel Oh so pretty in things these days.

Elaine, good you got yourself braced up. Hope your leakage stops.

Tina, sorry you're not yourself. Who are you? Pick someone good! Hope your doc visit goes well and that you have a fabulous time visiting Mickey!

Kimmie, inlaws on the back forty, how wonderful!

Caroline, good morning!

Tara, hope those sinus things clear up soon.

shatzjsl, nice ketchup!

Worked late tonight. Watching American Idol right now. The beginning shows are so painful. DH is home sick. He actually got to the doc today without being told to go! He is on meds and hopefully will begin to feel better soon. URI and he snored last night for the first time in a long time. I hope I don't get it. Boss is sick but came in today as she had several meetings. Coworker had some bug over the weekend. Egad!

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Evening Everyone!!!

I am currently home alllllllllllllll alone and loving every minute of it. Dh took both boys to my eldest's BBall practice. I have been puttering around the house, started the dishes, gave the dog a bath in the shower, took a shower myself, did my hair, and now Im sitting down at the computer with a cup of Sleepytime tea. What a nice little break. It will get hectic again when the boys get home trying to do meds and beds but I will be VERY relaxed LOL!!!!

JRKaren come to Florida and we will thaw you out. Well we will try it was 47 degrees here this morning. I know I know Im a weather wimp!!

Elaine Im glad you got a new brace. I hope you get used to it very quickly.

Nancy I love Lily's new outfit!!! Toooo KEWL!!!! Congrats on getting all that done for Christians apartment. Where did you go for dinner?? What did you get for your birthday??

Stacy come here and vent anytime. No feeling is unworthy of us listening to okay?? We care about how you are feeling. You dont need to keep it in....let it out....we are here to listen.

Liz I wouldnt mind it if he snuggled with me or something but he gets full up out of bed because the alarm clock is across the room....which of course means it rings for a longer period of time while hes getting over there to shut it off and then throws himself back into bed. He does this five or six times in the period of a half hour and then gets up. Of course once the alarm clock goes off the first time I am full awake which means I will be up at 5 AM every morning....I dont need to be up that early nor do I want to LOL. We have got to come up with some sort of solution to this because it will make me nuts and cranky LOL. Im going to talk to dh tonight after the kids go to bed and see if we can work on some sort of compromise or something.

Tina it's so good to see you!!! I've missed you. Wooooohoooo on going to DL and staying at GC!!!! I have heard wonderful things about the GC!!

Hi RM we miss you!!!!

Well my alone time is just about up. Just looked at the clock and the guy should be headed home. Better get things ready for them to get right into bed. I will be back laters.

 

[helenabear]

Feeling stuffy... going to bed soon...

Lily, you crack me up with your wit!

JRKaren, congrats to Krista!!!! That is great!!!

Enjoy the quiet time Karen... and yes, 47 in hte morning would be heavenly to me!

See y'all later

 

[BeamsofLight]

Evening Ya Yas!

Well, I'm settled into work for the night, and I'm working on a thumper of a headache too. Bleh. I just took some Advil, so let's hope that gets kicking soon. As I see some of you have noted, it's cold as all get out outside! Thanks to everyone for posting it, though. I wouldn't have thought to look at the temperature before I left for work if I hadn't see the frozen Ya-sicles scattered through the thread. (And yet, I 'do' weather for a living. Odd, no? heehee). Anyway, I dressed appropriately for our chilly office, so many thanks.

Liz, sorry your shopping wasn't as productive as Nancy's. Well, at least now you have some bargain-karma built up for next time. I admit I'm being Miss Lazy with the picture posting. I'll try to do better tomorrow. Sounds like you're in for a great weekend. We'll be needing a full run down with details on Monday, of course.

Karen, glad you're back in the real bed. That's gotta make for a much better sleep. I'm not a fan of sleeping aids, really, but I need something for this job with the way I'm always sleeping at different times. I find the Valerian just kind of lulls you off to sleep and then keeps you asleep for a good length of time. Actually I think it's better for keeping you asleep than it is for putting you to sleep. I hope it works out for you. We do the same 'alarm clock dance' your DH does, I'm afraid. It probably makes it harder to get up too, but we still do it.

Deena, well, I haven't heard of Bunco before, but it does sound like fun (particularly the playing for money bit - heehee).

Lily, sounds like you're rolling along with the ketchup. I'm going out of town this weekend, and I'm a little worried about how much mothiness is gonna happen in here. Hope your DH is feeling better soon, and that the cold bug doesn't get you too!

Stacy, Hope today went better for ya. Those 'blah' days are really lousy. I'm sure you're not a failure. Avon and algebra are not the be-all and end-all (and I like math - heck, if you ever have any algebra questions, toss 'em my way). When I get like that, I usually go and find a trip report to read. A little dose of Mouse is a good pick me up, I find.

JRKaren, we always get General Tso's chicken. It's Scott's favorite (probably mine too). And we did have enough, but we ate the leftovers for dinner today. If only I'd read this earlier.... well, next time, I promise. That's neat about KristaTX's mom getting so far in WWTBAM. Shame she didn't win though. My only time in the hot seat, it was something about Liza Minelli that did me in (I was still 3 away from the million point question though). Hope you're unfrozen now.

Elaine, sorry you couldn't find your brace. That must be really frustrating. Sounds like the weather's been pretty wild for you. I'll put in an order for milder and calmer for ya.

Amanda, hope work went well for you. Hang in there with the weight .. adding exercise will definitely make you gain muscle mass. It'll level off eventually though, and then you'll be losing like no one's business.

Hi Sherry! Hi Pam! Hi Rose Mary! Hi Susie! Hi Kristy! Hi Tina!

Nancy, glad the apartment things shopping went well. Sounds like a job for Ikea! Glad the movie was good too. I'm looking for movie options as we might be headed to the one this weekend (we're going to Ottawa to visit some friends).

Beth, glad you're enjoying the wintery weather! I'll see if I can aim some more cold at you while I'm getting it off Elaine.

Tara, hope your headache is better. I don't think I sent you mine .. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a computer virus. *snerk* I will try to redirect your cold to Bethie too. Geez, I'm heading for a lot of work tonight.

Kimmie, I wore out my VHS Princess Bride too (actually, I think I wore out 2 Beta ones, then a VHS). Now I have 2 dvds, so I think I should be set for a while. The dress I used was actually not her wedding dress but blue one she wore earlier. My mom made it.

All righty, time to start moving this cold air around for my sistah's (ahh, if only I could .. of course, then I'd just end up being the next James Bond villian with the weather machine. snert) Anyway, time to do some work. Have a good evening, everyone! Hugs to all.

 

[4greatboys]

Pam, I did not lick the flagpole. JellyrollsKaren

She did lick it I saw her!!

 

[SideshowBob]

Good evening, Ya Ya Friends!

Been a bit MIA as scooted back to work today.... and though was to be a 1/2 day, ended up being a 1/2 day as 12 hours.. but whatever... haha! Was just glad to be there, and have all of the interaction.

Hope that all are doing great!!!

 

[4greatboys]

Wow SSB that was quite a first day back at work.

 

[TLinden16]

Caroline, oops. My bad. I made it sound like it was Krista's mom who made it into the hot seat, but it was Krista. I edited a bit so hopefully it's clearer for everyone.

Blame it on the cold weather here.

JellyrollsKaren

 

[BeamsofLight]

JRKaren, ehn, it was probably fine before and I just didn't read it right. I'll blame my headache for that one. Looking at the computer screen is probably not the best thing I should be doing right now. Sorry for the confusion. Yay for Krista!

SSB, I bet when they said a half day, you didn't realize they meant half of a whole day, huh? Hope things went well for ya!

 

[Towncrier]

I got a PM from KristaTX's mom today. Krista made it into the hot seat at WWTBAMPI today, and she made it to the million point question, and missed it If memory serves me correctly the question was, "Who is the founder of Motorola?" (or some company--I'm too lazy to check my PM's right now). Yay to Krista for making it that far! Too bad you didn't win You'll be back in a few months and can try again.

That's TWO times that she's made it to the Million Point question and missed.

She's going to win that cruise some day. I just got off the phone with Krista. She and Todd are having a wonderful time. She is going to go back to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and try to get Todd into the hot seat. Who knows. They may win a cruise yet.

 

[Pam]

Pam, I did not lick the flagpole. I've just got a chill in me.

Ummmmm..... sure - we believe you..... uh-huh, Willis!
Deena - now that I think about it - Poor thing was probably outside in her feather boa and stilettos with her microphone, with her Scotty and Ray ice cubes and well..... I'll let you get the mental picture in your head! Karen, dear - we've told 1,345,861 times that you can not perform outside in frigid weather and would you please quit makinghtose Scotty and Ray ice cubes~

Nancy - $500.00 - sounds like you have 1 room down - how many more to go??

Caroline - I had a horrible sinus headache, too - but I took 2 Motrin and knocked it out! YaHoo!!

Kim - no fair! I want a Kippy picture posted - or Patrick Swayze! (Pssttt.... do ya really think it's Nancy's birthday????? Bwaaaahaaahaaaa!!)

Hi Stacy! Hope today was a better day for you!!

Lily - forgot to say yesterday that your Marathon pictures are great! You look wonderful, girl!!!!!!!! Pixie dust to DH so he feels better soon!

Elaine - we could get you one of those fans that blow your hair up like the model's! We could conceal it in your swimsuit's shelf bra! That would be soooo cool! Did I ever tell the story about getting one of those "Slimsuits" about 10 years ago?? It was purple - as in Barney purple. Good grief, what was I thinking? It had the little skirt thing attached to it. We were at a convention in San Antonio, took the kids who were 6 and 9 at the time. DH was in a meeting, I took the kids to the pool. I got in the hot tub and this old geezer with about 15 gold chains, white chest hair, little hair on top, big old gut, and smoking a cigar to boot crawls in with me and these two twenty-something chickies..... The chickies split, I went to but my son hops in, so I stay put. The old geezer leans over and tells me, "I don't like little skinny things like that, I prefer buxom women like yourself." I'm thinking, "Buxom?? Me???!!!" I look down and the hot water from the tub had went up my suit, thorugh the skirt and "pumped" my chest to extraordinary proportions! I just sat there mortified...... then my son leans over and yells, "Mommy, you look so funny and sticks his finger in the chest and you hear this gigantic "whoooosh" as all the air deflates my chest. HA HA!!!
The look on the geezer's face was classic! I grabbed my kid and climbed out of there!!!!!

SSB - glad you had a good day back at work! I guess they literally figured that 12 hours is half a day!!!!

 

[Meriweather]

Nancy - $500.00 - sounds like you have 1 room down - how many more to go??

(Pssttt.... do ya really think it's Nancy's birthday????? Bwaaaahaaahaaaa!!)

That's about it Lots of kitchen things, a computer desk.
More tomorrow.

I think I need more presents and another year subtracted in ....what about a month, Kimmie? Or is it a week when I get another?

Windy and stormy tonight. Power keeps blinking. I tried posting earlier and lost it

Good night.
