Welcome to the Ya Ya Club Med!!!

[helenabear]

Just finished dinner. Well actually after I was done with dinner, I wanted something sweet so I made some vanilla pudding

Dang, should've freezed some of that now that I think about it for pudding pops... oh well

Sherry, what kind of car did you guys wind up getting from her?

Kimmie, I was going to tease about how being from CA that of course you would like tofu and hummus and all that... but I won't. Howeve,r thanks for quoting from Nancy! I must have missed that comment at one point

Karen, I really hope you get to relax. I do know that making a life change (like smoking) can be quite stressful. Did that one years and years ago... and you can ask Luis and a few very close friends how cranky I got when I was beginning the diet Good luck with everything!

Okay Nancy, let me relax and then I'll work on teh pic. I really need to clear out all my CF and charge all my stuff before I go.

What?! That's a phallic symbol??!! I *never* made the connection!!

 

[helenabear]

I wonder if you know what LOC or LSOS means, Pammy

What?! That's a phallic symbol??!! I *never* made the connection!!

Now Pam probably likes Banana boy even more.

[Pam]

I wonder if you know what LOC or LSOS means, Pammy

No - you'll have to PM me! I've led a very shletered life - honestly!
A couple of years ago i made a coworker go ask her son what "snowball" meant..... (it was in the movie, Stepmom).

He told her and then wanted to know why she wanted to know, and he was quite concerned, too! She told him that I wanted to know....

And yes - I do know what a phallic symbol is.....

Evening, all. Had to give the DH some computer time-I've been hogging it.

Went over to the mall and found the two Treasures box sets I didn't have-last May's "On the Front Lines" and "Mickey Mouse in Living Color, pt 2". So now we have all of them. Kevin watched about 2/3 of the War ones-that kid loves the boxed anthologies!

The kids are happy. Neil has been doing so well on the new meds, that we took them each to get a new gameboy game. Told them that the end of February, if Neil has another good month, and Kevin learns his letters out of order they can each get another game. I'm prepared to buy them-that's the way to get results around here!

okay, let me try to ketchup:

Nancy, those raspberry chips are made year round, but most stores only stock them for Christmas. If you're willing to buy the case of 12, your grocer will order them for you. Since Hershey was only an hour and a half drive from us, we'd pick them up on a regular basis. They've also got a website to order from. Link's in the laptop, though

Sherry, brownies freeze good. I used to make a batch when I lived on my own, slice and freeze. Then I'd microwave them for a minute and put some ice cream on top! So go ahead and make them for yourself, lol! Yay for a second car-been the one car household and it wasn't fun-and that was without kids!

Tofu can be yummy, as tofutti!

Tara is NOT an old fart...there are quite a few of us who are older and definitely don't qualify for old fart, either!

Rose Mary, I got the B&BW for you, but it was just antibac soap...we won't use any other here and we were scraping the bottom. Kudos to you, quitting those nasty cigarettes!

Karen, you come and vent. You're very brave, cutting meds and smoking. We're very proud of you. I'm Cingular, too, so if you need to vent, you've got my number!

Pammy, I won't tease you about your favorite smiley, promise!

Hey, my siggy picture is gone and about 3 quarters of those smileys. Is anyone else having that problem, or is it all the cookies we cleared off the pc today?

Suzanne

 

[Meriweather]

Hmmmm....I have had the chips for awhile. Didn't think I got them at Christmas time, but it has been awhile. I don't use them much.....but I do love the cinnamon ones.

Happy Birthday, Tara!!

 

[TLinden16]

Hey everyone. Look at my signature countdown!

 

[TLinden16]

Happy Birthday, Tara!

 

[Meriweather]

I'm sure you will have a great time, Karen and get warmed up some too

 

[4greatboys]

Well I just made it back in. Travis is in the musical Guys and Dolls at school and I went to the show tonight. Im not big on most musicals or plays but this one was really good. The kids were fabulous! They had over 100 kids in it. Travis was in it many times, he was in the marching band, he was a crap shooter, he was in the Havana scene and at the end was on stage by himself for a second. Michael's friend Scott was in it too. Im glad I went!

 

[TLinden16]

Deena, I love the music in Guys & Dolls! The movie version is great. Frank Sinatra was in it. And Marlon Brando. Did you know that Marlon Brando used to be hot?

JellyrollsKaren

 

[Poohnatic]

I love Guys and Dolls. We did it at my college (I stage managed, that was my major). JR Karen, what I found ironic is that Frankie got the part with songs that didn't show his vocal talent and Brando got the meatier singing role. He was great as Sky, though.

If you liked it enough to pick up the soundtrack, the revival soundtrack is the best! Nathan Lane is great!

I'm all out of whack with sleeping, caught a nap for about three hours this afternoon.

Suzanne

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Well its 4:25 and Im up. Can't sleep. Im having a warm cuppa tea in hopes of getting some more sleep. My legs are going a mile a minute from the anxiety. I heard a funny yesterday. They said that people who fidget are thin because they burn so many calories. Well either their data is flawed or I should weight 300 pounds ROFL. I never stop moving. I bounce my leg constantly to the point that it drives my coworker nuts. I just had to giggle at the news report on that study.

Suzanne too kewl that you are on Cingular!! I have to find your letter in order to find your phone number. I may call you to vent but I promise I wont drive you nutso. I'm glad the boys are doing so well. I have used the games as incentives too.

Raspberry chips kinda make me woogy but cinnamon chips sound good. Would be nice to make some cinnamon muffins with them. Hmmm I could go for a good cinnamon muffin right about now. I may make the chocolate italian meatball cookies this weekend since we are not going to church. It will serve two purposes. One to keep me busy and two it will quell my chocolate craving.

 

[helenabear]

Happy Birthday Tara!!!!

Good morning all! We have to take both kitties off to the vet this morning. This should be a treat... I havne't had to take more than one in at the same time ever!

Not very awake today... not sure why but I can't seem to sleep much.

Pam, PM is on the way

Deena, glad you enjoyed the musical. I saw some of my friends do it after I graduated HS... amazing what HSers can do!

JRKaren, I hope you'll have a great trip and get warm!!!

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

Good morning, all! So sorry I've been so tied up with RL the last couple of days, I've been reading, but never found enough time to post. Work has been a zoo and boy-genius boss has been a PITA. He always manages to make it look like I am to blame for every problem that comes up. Almost

when he actually said we were given erroneous information and it was not my fault on Thursday!

Would you believe my church choir is actually starting rehearsals for our Easter cantata already?!! Yep, got our first look at it last Weds. and we have special rehearsal today from 9-12. I can't believe Easter is that close!! How did it get to be the end of January already??!!

Just a few ketchup comments--no tofu or hummus here, blech! Never seen the raspberry choc. chips, but hope I can find the cinnamon ones. We LOVE cinnamon chip muffins and if I can make them myself.......whoo-hoo!! Karen, hope you can get some answers from that sleep study you did. Keep up the good work with quitting smoking. I know it's hard, just stay determined and you'll make it! Methinks Pam likes the banana guy just a little too much. LOVE all the new smilies, but I have a special site I use, too. Hope you are feeling lots better, RM, but sorry you had to cancel your WDW weekend. JRKaren is heading for the Lone Star State in a month, or so?!! Watch out Kathy and Krista!!!! Sounds like she's stalking YOU now!! Deena, get the computer fixed? Neat that Travis is in the show--I absolutely love musicals!!

Well, I do believe it's off to the races for me now

Got laundry and groceries and cleaning to take care of after choir, but I hope I can find some DIS time somewhere in there! Everybody have a great day!!! Mad mad love to all and

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Morning all.

I was weak last night and bought a pack of cigarettes. I have since given them to dh. He does not smoke but will keep them away from me. He told me this morning when I was getting cranky that he is already steeling himself for a life without me. Not a nice thing to hear but it needed to be said. He told me he is scared to be without me and trying to raise the two boys. He is concerned that one of these times that I get sick that Im just not going to come out of it and as he said each one gets worse and worse. He is very right. I am wrong and I am weak. Im a sorry excuse for a wife and mother right now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TARA!!!!

Beth can you send me your recipe for cinnamon muffins?? I will look for the cinnamon chips down here and if I find them I will send you some if you cant find them. Sorry work is being such a pain as is your boss. How unfair of him to blame you for things you have no control over.

Deena how neat that they did Guys and Dolls!!! I love musicals. We did four of them when I was in highschool and I had a blast doing them. Funny now that I can't get up in front of people to save my soul. LOL!!!

Well I better get something to eat and get ready for my youngests bball game.

I hope you all can forgive me for being weak.

HUGS TO ALL!!!

 

[TLinden16]

Good morning, everyone!

Can I just say that I hate my new neighbors? There was a cab beeping for them at 11:25 last night, then another at 6:30 this morning, and another one at 7:00 this morning. Who has three cabs go to their house in the course of eight hours? Sounds a bit suspicious to me. They are on my bad list right now (along with Beth--I haven't forgotten).

Score one for me! The airfare to Texas that I got for $167 has now gone up to $250! Score me! It went down for all of about 12 hours yesterday, and I happened to find it at the right time It was almost $300 yesterday morning, then it went down to $167, and now it's up again. So, the moral of the story is, if you see a really good airfare, jump on it when you have the chance or risk missing out.

Karen, sorry you didn't sleep again. I'm sure the quitting smoking thing is tough, but that's only short term. In the long run, it's going to be a wonderful thing! Hang in there

Elaine, you can't sleep because you are all jazzed about your cruise! Just a couple days away. Woofreakinghoo! And then you get to meet one of your cabana boys in person.

Bethie, yes, Pam does seem to like the but not nearly as much as Liz likes the

Suzanne, I have the Broadway revival of Guys and Dolls CD, too. It is a great CD. Nathan Lane is awesome. I saw him in the Producers. He's a fantastic stage performer.

Have a great day, everyone!

JellyrollsKaren

 

[dizneenut]

Good Morning!

Got to sleep in a bit! Going to head to the movies in a couple hours to see Are We There Yet?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TARA!!

JRKaren, cool countdown!

Rose Mary, sounds like a cute outfit. I need to get Sissy a V-day outfit.

Karen, hope you can relax this weekend. And you are NOT weak...your human. You are a wonderful wife and a wonderful mother. I am so proud of you for quitting smoking. It shows alot of strength and character on your part, and I applaud you for that. You will get through this, and you can vent to us anytime.

Beth, sorry your boss is being a pain.

Elaine, hope the kitty's do well at the vet. The car we got is a Taurus. I forget the year.

Suzanne, hmm..didn't know brownies froze well. I guess I'll have to make some and freeze them.

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Sherry I am trying hard to relax and not get upset with the craziness around here. Both boys know Im trying to quit and when they really get going I remind them of how the stress isn't doing me any good. So far they have responded. We are going to their bBall games today but the rest of the weekend will be relaxing. I still havent heard from the director of childrens ministry about not being there tomorrow but right now I can't worry about that. I need to do whats right for me right now.
