Whoa, everyone has been MOTHY!!!!!! I've got 20 pages of ketchup to do, aackkk...this is how I got lost last time.
We had a nice, quiet new years here. Had Bellinis and watched VH1 until about 20 minutes before midnight (the one hit wonders marathon, lol) and then Dick Clark. The shocker was that no one in our families called us, Ed ended up calling his family.
Had a lazy morning, then went into DC for the Auto Show. It's more fun going to the show and looking when you know you're getting another car this year

. Once this house is sold, we're not going to hurry into buying one in Florida, and I'm going to get something newer (probably not brand new, though). Then we went to Hooters for dinner, yum. Daddy and younger son were enjoying the, um, er, DECORATIONS, and I enjoyed the food. older DS just wanted to sleep at the table.
Okay, let me attempt a ketchup here...
Donna, I'm with you. DH wanted to get a huge ring (because ex didn't get me a ring until after we were married) and I kept insisting on a small ring. I think I tried on 1 and 1.5's for him and kept telling him I wanted a .5, plus I like the most expensive cut (emerald). In the end, I got what I asked for

although he knows I'd like an anniversary band for our 10th.
Where's that nose vacuum someone mentioned? I've been looking for it for months!
Deena, I have the laptop DH got me off ebay. The new hard drive in our regular pc fried the modem, so we've been doing everything off my laptop for a while now. I just like the laptop so much, I'm getting a newer one with maybe a DVD player so that I can watch my movies without worrying about what the kids want! I have one of those ex's that are still a *****!
Yay, I got the recycling out in time...they're taking 3 weeks worth because they come too early!
Rosemary-Glad your DH is home. It's kinda hard getting to sleep when the other half isn't there. Hope he's on the mend. Happy Anniversary!
Liz, sorry your tub experience wore you out instead of relaxing you. I had several surgeries on my wrists and the tub was always a challenge. I think the dumbest thing I ever did was when I broke my wrist and still went to the poconos with the ex. I was told I could get the cast wet, and did, but man, it was so itchy while drying!
Beth, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Hope you and Dave had a nice day!
Shep, Happy Anniversary for you and Believe! Wow, looks like a popular wedding day, LOL!
Kimmie, you sound like my sis, LOL. When she went to Cancun, it was her birthday at every bar she went to...free drinks for Kathi!!!
Nancy, I ordered my dishes from
disneystore.com. I got the mickey ones. Get this---they were my birthday present from July. DH couldn't figure out that I could use a gift card, so I had to tell him the other day. I couldn't use the Bonus25, but they still are a good deal.
Alaska, sounds good! DH asked me last night where we'll vacation once we move to FL and WDW isn't the trip. I came up with Nawlins, Key West, California (for DL, of course!) Hawaii, Alaska, Ireland....we spend about as much on a WDW trip as we would for a week in any of those places!
Deena, your falling out of a tree sounds like my breaking my wrist story. I broke it breaking down boxes for recycling at work!!
ok, up to page 45...maybe I can get to the end before I have to leave for work, LOL!
Where is this dis brouhaha? I haven't been around for a couple of days and everything is happening!
Kristy, I'm the Nascar girl. Now, 10 years ago, I was ragging on my coworkers about their nascar fix (and even teased them about being at Watkins Glen on a race weekend), but DH was into it and I started to get into it. Cute boys? Please tell me you are NOT a Jeff Gordon fan...eeewwww!
Von,

. Those marathon makeout sessions end when you get married...well, maybe a year after. Glad you had a nice new year's with your man. Hope the stubble burn isn't too bad, LOL!
Okay, the rate I'm going, all you yayas will sneat on me, LOL!
So, name of the poster from you know where? What thread...feel free to PM me details...I'm a mouthy NYer who will jump into the fray
OMG, I am caught up. Thanks for reading the novel. I just about have time to hop in the shower, get the kids some lunch and get to work. I will be cleaning up big time tomorrow. I invited neighbors over for dinner and I need to clean and make a big batch of marinara sauce...the house will smell good, though!
