Good morning gang!

Snow and ice and rain here in Boston today. Yuck. I should probably leave for work earlier than normal, so I'm going to shut up now.

Morning!

Boys are back to school. Weird, cuz today is worse than yesterday.

JRKaren, be careful out there.

Suzanne, hope your vertigo gets better.

 

[believe]

Only have time for a quick drop in....back to work today. Lost 5lbs since last Wednesday, the only benefit to being sick. 10 more to go, since I actually at 15 to lose, not the original 10 I thought.

 

[isyne4u]

Good morning gang!

Amanda...glad you are losing weight but sorry you are sick! Good luck on the next 10 pounds!

Caroline...thanks for the Roy update. I think he is gorgeous, plus I liked that he played a total jerk with a soft side!

JUst to keep the troops entertained let me fill you in on days three and four:

Finally moved Jarrod's potty chair in here next to my school desk. Decided it would be faster than running up and down the halls !!!

No small animals were harmed yesterday....but I was found talking to a vending machine...I was questioning it as to why it didn't have rice cakes. I guess had I been *thinking* this it would have been okay. However, the people around me then gave me wide berth as they approached. I guess they found talking to a vending machine a little odd. I"m sure they could hear it answering back, I know I could!!!

OKay, gotta make a potty run! and then talk to some teachers! ugh!

later,
tara

Tara atleast you werent yelling at it for getting you knocked up again
Nancy no those dont hold a lot of paper but they work well if you want to seperate by color or theme. Have you thought about the vertical organizers with drawers? They make some of those see through as well and maybe you would have to open every drawer ever time you were looking for certain papers. I would like to get one of those when I get some room around here. Ha! Room around here, thats pretty funny.
We did get a cold front yesterday, its now in the 50's and I love it. No A/C!! Whoohoo. Where else in but in Texas can you have a electric bill $200 + in the winter from running the A/C!!
Looks like our next trip is in Oct so I proably wont be seeing you guys in Dec unless a Fairy Godmother Babysitter comes along. We are trying out BCV this go round.

Good Morning All!!

Suzanne sorry to hear your vertigo is acting up.
Nancy..the holder I have can probably hold half of a ream of paper..maybe 3/4 of a ream.
Amanda yay on the 5 pounds loss but sorry it was from being sick. Good luck on the next 10.
LOL Tara...love the potty idea hehehe...I've been known to talk to vending machines or the refrigerator.
JRKaren be careful out there
heheheh..I'm with Deena..our electric bill is from the A/C running. It's 73 degrees here today.
Sherry I hope your day gets better.

Well I feel just much much better than I have in over two weeks. I feel stronger and more healthy. All the meds they are giving me for all the different things seem to be working in tandem now. It feels so good to feel fairly normal again!!! Not gonna over due it though. Littlest ds has his first BBall practice tonight and again I am staying home while dh takes him. I can finish off making din din while dh is there. Im just not gonna get into a lot of running around just yet.

Karen be careful out there.

Sherry hope today goes better with the weather. Congrats on being an aunt again!!!!

Tara I talk to everything including myself no matter where I am so you are in good company ROFL. I cant tell you how many times my coworker says WHAT to me and Im not talking to her hehehehehehehehhehe.

Hi Kristy. How ya doing today sweetie? How is our sweet little Dakota doing?

 

[kimmar067]

...Yo-Yo's!!

 

[kimmar067]

Ummm... I could try. Ya might want to bring a map or two though...

Oooh a birthday!! Is it a reeeeal birthday?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEENA!!!!

Okay, gotta go ketchup up up...

...a guided tour of NJ!!!

 

[lvs_eeyore]

So much for my first day of almost normal health. I started coughing at lunch and either reinjured that muscle severely or actually cracked the rib this time. I heard a nasty popping sound followed by severe pain. I tried going back to work but was sent home. Took a pain pill and something else and just hit the couch. Only up to eat something now and then back down for me. I can't believe this is happening to me.

Afternoon Ya Yas!

I just ordered my last transcript online, and I have one more stack of papers to mail off and then I'm officially done my grad school application stuff! This last bit is a departmental application, and I have the stuff I need for it so I should be able to get it out tomorrow evening - too yucky outside to venture out today. I still haven't heard back from Miami about my missing papers. My dad suggested they spend too much time on the beach. I've decided that, rather than freaking out about it and being a big ball of stress, if it's meant to work out it will and if not, it won't. If they can't even keep the application straight, how much trouble will I have with them over the next 5 years? Anyway, we'll see what happens. If you guys have a minute, send good thoughts about me in the direction of New Haven CT, ok?

Nancy, maybe you need to get a young geek and and old geek in to look at your computer? I hope it starts behaving for you soon.

JRKaren, sorry to hear about your bosses. Hope the new guy doesn't mess things up for you. I often wonder who they'd get to replace my boss if he left. I think they'd have to go outside to get someone. It's a shame you have someone capable there that the company doesn't want to use. Seems like they're throwing away a good employee.

Amanda, cool about the pilates! I didn't know I could motivate anyone. And now you've motivated me to keep at it too. Don't overwork yourself while you're still feeling under the weather, though. Hope you're feeling better today.

Deena, did you get anything neat for your birthday? Tasty cake?

Sherry, great news about your BIL and SIL! Congratulations to them!

Kristy, I'm paranoid about leaving a crockpot on all day too, that's why we never got one. I'm going to look into their safety features and see if I can assuage my fears. allrecipes.com has some tasty looking ideas though. Tempting.

Suzanne, sorry to hear about the vertigo. I had a bad bout of that once, and it was awful. Hope you're feeling better.

Tara, I see nothing wrong with talking to the vending machine. I've spoken with the one at work, and I've always found it a very pleasant conversationalist.

Karen, I'm so sorry to hear you're hurting again. Do you have some vacation time or sick leave you could take from work so you can relax for a bit? You sound like you really need to take it easy. Maybe try putting a heating pad on the sore muscle and see if that helps? I'm keeping a good thought for you. I'm sorry you have to go through this. Many

Howdy Kimmar!

Well, I'm going to try to take down the Christmas decorations. We put them up so late I've been holding off since it feels like we didn't see much of them. I guess it's time though. Talk to you later. Have a good afternoon, everyone.

Still working on getting better, lots of sleeping going on!! Got about 8" of snow. Thank goodness, most of it was snow. We lucked out on the ice thing. But it did take Greg 1.5 hours to get home on a trip that would usually take 30 minutes at most. Today he said roads were much better. I guess tehy were able to get them cleaned up pretty good in the early hours of the morning.

OK...so I did it again!! Thanks for noticing!! Yes, Kimar lives in New Jersey...Kama , lives in California....so who is Kimmie? So many K's so little brain function to distinguish who is who....so who is married to Tom, and who does Cam belong too!!!! Yes, roadmaps will be oh so helpful!!

Off to get a few things done before Greg gets home. Gotta figure out dinner.....chicken noodle soup sounds sooo yummy! Wish it were South Beach friendly!!

Tara, I am still with ya on the whole diet thing.......4 days and counting!!! Whoo hoo!!! Keep up the good work!

Caroline you hit the nail right on the head. Im doing just that with the heating pad and meds. Just a little set back. My boss was kewl about me going home. I do have sick time now that the first of the year has passed so Im not missing any pay from this. One of the good things. This too shall pass. I just kicked it out of crap again a bit and now more healing time is involved. I was doing so very well at work today too. I really felt GOOD. Maybe just some time off my feet with some heat and something for pain will get this under control enough that it doesnt hurt so much tomorrow. One thing I have discovered is that I live by Murphy's Law. If it can happen it will. One of the bad things is my moms maiden name was.....you guessed it MURPHY!!!! ROFL. I have to laugh at this. I have to keep my humor.

Caroline I am keeping big prayers for you and of course you know it that I would love it if you did come down to Miami. I would get to see you as I live only about 35 miles from there. We could hang out sometimes when you werent schooling. CT is beautiful to. My parents lived in Brattleboro VT and we had to go through CT a lot to get there. Im just praying that you get where you want to be and this whole mess of papers and stress is behind you.

Liz Im glad to hear you are resting and feeling better. Yikes on the snow. Im glad the removal is going better so Greg can get to and from better. Dont you venture out m'dear you just take it easy and get better. We also dont want you messing up that ankle again.

Hi Tarah!!! Good going on the diet. I am so proud of you!! You are absolutely right. Kim is Kimmie and lives in CA with Cam and Tom. You get an A!!! hehehehehehehe.

Ya wanna know something?? Ya'll make me smile. No matter whats going on in life I can come here and have some of the most fun wonderful conversations in the world with people who truely care. Ya'll are a very special group of people that I am totally blessed to know and care about.

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Liz do you have the South Beach Diet Book? I have it here somewhere. Want me to see if there is a chicken noodle soup recipe in it that is SB friendly?

 

[Meriweather]

Howdy....

Good luck, Caroline.

Karen Oh no....hope you feel better soon.

Knowing how powerful the Yayas are could you all send a little of that PD this way too. Christin found the perfect job for her.....just sent the application off. Really, really sounds like just her cup of tea and actually uses her degree .....to some extent
At the Science Center......it would be so cool. Including the overnight camp-ins. She would be perfect for that. The kids love her.

We're expecting snow!! Some places are already getting it. Did I mention...I hate winter and snow!!

Computer is doing well, Caroline. Just can't figure that one software thing out. And I did have an old and a young geek look at it The old geek will be back Sat. and I will get him on it again.
I am going to try to upload some pictures to imagestation....I just won't be able to use them in my siggie because I can't resize them

Be back in a few

 

[Meriweather]

Okay...here is Lily's new outfit (well, new to wear, I have actually been good and haven't bought anything since Sept)

And this is our newest addition, DH's bear, Nicholas.

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Nancy mega mega mega Pixie Dust and Prayers going out for Christian. I REALLY hope she gets this job. It just seems so perfect for her. When will she know anything. I will keep everything crossed until we find out.

I love the new outfits and the new addition!!!

Pain is getting a little better. Heat and painkillers are a GOOD thing LOL. I have been slowly putting clothes away that dh is washing. He is doing a major major wash today and Im helping as I can. I just cant let this sit because the muscle will seize totally and I will be in a mell of a hess if it does. Just taking it very slowly.

 

[lvs_eeyore]

hehehehehehe me and my cooking prowess. I just blew up a baked potato in the oven. What a mess. I hope the others dont blow up too.

 

[2bemarried]

Caroline I'm sending plenty of PD to you. Best of luck on those applications!! Did you apply for any where in NC?? If you figure out the whole crock pot safety thing, let me know. I've left mine for 4 hours before while at the grocery store, church, etc...but never a whole day.

Liz I'm glad to hear that you're starting to mend and get better. I'm fixing eggs for dinner...can you have those??

Karen I do hope you're able to rest and fully recooperate. I just had to LOL at the blowing up a potato comment. I've come very close to do that with one in the microwave. I've also blown up a frozen pizza in the microwave.

Nancy those pictures of Lily are ADORABLE!!!!!!! The PD trucks are headed your way too. Best of luck to Christin on the job opportunity. Oh..and you divert that snow to us. We're predicted to have a high of 80 next Wednesday While I don't like ice...I'd much rather January be COLD so that it actually FELT like January to me..not April or May.

Where's Elaine??? We haven't seen her all day!!!
