G'nite Ya Yas!

Alan, glad you have direction with what you are trying to deal wity you lovely daughter. Prayers that you can figure out how to work all those new appliances so that those magic concoctions can be created.

Tara, enjoying your trip report. Glad you had a good night tonight.

Hmmm we have someone who says they are trying to be better...mysterious. Impossible!?

Sherry, hope your foot gets figured.

Suzanne, what a wealth of info you have to offer. I would never have thought of freezing water in something to roll. Glad your work adventure is progressing well.

Elaine, hope you enjoyed your walk today and that you get to go again tomorrow.

Bethie, take care of yourself. You sound so busy I'm overwhelmed!

Kimmie, I'm thinking of you today. Kitchen things... Our oven has crashed...needs work so I've got appliance dude coming, but not til Tuesday.

Nancy, can't wait to see the pics. Glad the luggage arrived and DH too!

I'm going out to walk with the group tomorrow. Our first gathering after winter rest. I so need to be out, I am glad to be committed to go.

Pam, look forward to your report. Always on deadlines things happen. I think it is in the rules somewhere.

I've got nothing much new to report. I have lots that I could do this weekend house work wise...not sure what will get done. Staying up late tonight I thnk b/c I don't want my weekend to go away. Watching what not to wear and thing I am a candidate for that show.

 

[helenabear]

Hmmm... I could be mean and scream rise and shine, but given the hour of the day on a Saturday morning, I think I'll be nice and not do that

Oh my Pam! I can't wait to hear about this trip!! I hope you are able to finish up with deadlines and then get to us on all that went on!

LOL, Tara... rest well, then I'm sure you will wow us with your ketchup

Prayers that you can figure out how to work all those new appliances so that those magic concoctions can be created.

but sadly that is so true!
Enjoy your walk with your group, Lily! Must be nice to get back into the swing of things after winter off!

Hi Nancy!

No clue on what we are going to do today. Luis is barely awake and playing on a computer game. We just watched a bunch of TV last night and took it easy so we're not totally motivated to do anything anyway today looks like we are in for some lovely weather so I will have to take advantage of it somehow

 

[Poohnatic]

Morning all. Wow, I feel like I slept forever-and 8am felt like sleeping in.

Got the weekend off, sorta. I'm still breaking software for work! I realized that our email host would change, asked about that, and this morning, I'm forwarding all my work emails to another account for the weekend. Doing the happy dance that there's only three week's worth!

Slow DIS this morning!

Tiara, thanks for the info about the AP's. We've also got Adventure Island, but I'm not tacking that on until the kids swim. It's like Water Country. Great pictures, too!

Nancy, glad Dave got his luggage back!

Lainey, thanks to the laptop, I'll play on it while Ed's watching a race. Of course, then I end up doing a blog entry about all this kids who mangle the star spanged banner by trying to make it into an R&B/Gospel thing with the stupid vocal gymnastics! Please don't scream, you'll wake Kevin up!

Lily, hope that weekend is enjoyable. Unfortunately, some of that info is because of personal experience-but I'd rather share some things that work.

Alan, forgot to add a link for you. It's for Aspergers, but there's useful info for PDD, too. Awesome message boards-got me through the rough times when Neil was diagnosed. http://www.aspergersyndrome.org/

I'll probably be in and out throughout the day. I do need to get some cleaning done. Friend's mom is here and they may go house hunting-I might tag along.

Suzanne

 

[Meriweather]

Good morning.
The sun is shining, but it is COLD!!

Hope everyone has a nice day no matter what you decide to do.

We'll be gone most of the day. Tulip fields, street fair, lunch. movie.

 

[dizneenut]

Morning!

Been cleaning all morning and decided to take a break.

Took the boys to Skate World last night. We had some free admission coupons from Julian's party there to use. One of the boys friend's came along, too.

Tara, OMG, those snakes would've freaked me out. I had to rush past those pics. Glad Jar is feeling better and yay for the night out!

Nancy, enjoy your day.

Suzanne, thanks for that site and for the tip on the water bottle. I'll have to try the water bottle trick. My foot was feeling a bit better this morning, but after cleaning it hurts again. My ankle is also hurting pretty bad. I have a constant pain, and when you touch my heel it hurts SO BAD!!

Kimmie, yay for new curtains!

Elaine, enjoy your day, whatever you decide to do.

Junior is working right now. He'll be home around 3. BIL, SIL & nephew are coming over to watch the Cavs playoff game and for dinner, then we might watch King Kong.

 

[Kama89]

Good morning YaYas!

Sheesh. I can't count. Have to go back today to get one more valance for each window. Still haven't figured out what hardware I need. My brain can't cope with that right now. I'd rather go Lucky shopping with Elaine.

Oh no! Lily, sorry about the oven! I hope your appliance dude has better success than mine did. Poor guy. I felt so sorry for him. Apparently he had to "eat" the cost of parts that were ordered, installed and didn't work. Somehow that doesn't seem quite right.

Enjoy your walk today Lily! I am so ready for the sunshine to return!!

Sherry, be good to that foot. Good excuse to take the rest of the day off.

Have fun tuliping Nancy!!

Pam. What happened on the trip?

House hunting sounds like a good way to spend a Saturday. Have a good time Suzanne.

 

[kimmar067]

....sorry, Tara, ya 'had' me, until the SNA-A-A-A-A-AKES!

Sherry ~
I had that SAME THING almost 3 years ago...so painful, I couldn't put ANY pressure on it! . Luckily, I got 2 cortisone/steroid (?) shots within 4 weeks and [knock-on-wood] I haven't had a recurrance since....

 

[isyne4u]

sorry about the snakes ya'll! I guess I should have posted a warning prior to the pictures! But I guess I got my punishment last night. I dreamed about spiders and I woke up tangled in the sheets from trying to get away from them. yuck!! I don't like dreaming about spiders!!

I'm about ready to send one kid away...dad's coming to pick him up and keep him until the party tomorrow afternoon. Dad said, before he knew how many people I had invited to the birthday party, that he would halve it with me. Now he knows there will be 7 kids so we'll see how much money he's willing to go in on. I did it without planning for him to actually put forth any money so if he does that will be a bonus!!

I'll be back later.

Wow!
What she said.
Did my walking thing, came home and since it is so nice hooked DS#2 to help with screens. He washed 28 screens, I did windows, oh and two screen doors too. The spots I couldn't reach DS did. I'm tired. Now he asked for pizza and he's going to get it. DH did the outdoor edging for part of the yard and DS#1 is sick. Allergies and misery, he left to go lay about watching Cavs game. I'm watching Cavs now. Go Cavs!

 

[helenabear]

Hi y'all! It was a gorgeous day here so we took advantage of it. We wound up going shopping at Easton with is mostly an all outdoor mall. Had lunch at CF and went to two of my favorite stores (White House/Black Market & Lucky). Came home and decided we wanted to watch an Antonio Banderas movie, so we got Legend of Zorro

Suzanne, that would be a song that I would love to hear... the kids butching the Star Spangled Banner. Okay I admit, I can't stand that song when it comes down to it. Musically it's not at all my favorite. Of course that's not something I usually say since people have said I am unpatriotic... I just wish they had picked a prettier song for our anthem But I would prbably be amused by that style of the anthem... I'm sure it was awful!

Nancy, I hope you had a great day out with the tulips and the movie!!!! Oh we were going to see another Antonio movie today, but all the shows were sold out for the day by 4PM

Sherry, I hope y'all had a good evening once Junior got home. Sounds like you had a good night last night too!

LOL, Kimmie, that's probably why I don't both doing windows. Requires too much brain power
Oh and you should've come shopping with me! I did go to our Lucky store. I wound up with a new jean this time... just the Dream jean. They're a bit lower than my other pairs I have and a lighter wash (like my embroidered ones). Love 'em!!! And I would've taken you to my favorite store

Tara Wonderful ketchup there!!!! Of course you had me rolling with the rest of them who have lives unlike us

Kimmar, whatcha been up to this weekend?

Wow, Lily, sounds like you have been a busy busy lady!!! You made me tired just listening to all you did!

Hungry now, haven't eaten since lunch so I need to scrounge up something for tonight. I'll catch y'all later

 

[Meriweather]

Come clean my windows, Lily.
The sun shining through them makes them look nasty More for the to-do list

Gorgeous day for tulip gazing.....but about 1,000,000 other people thought so too....too crowded. We should have gone last weekend in the rain and cold. Most of the tulips were already dying. Next year we will not wait until the last weekend for them
I did get some pictures...not as good as last year. It was field rotation year so the big fields were in purples and pinks, and while I like those colors, they just don't stand out as much in fields as the red and yellow.
Hmmm...I could have posted last years pictures and no on would have known

Movie was good. Action packed. We saw the Sentinel.
Lunch at Red Robin. Yummy.

Tomorrow is shopping at the outlet mall all day with Christin...fun, fun.

I think we are watching Fever Pitch tonight.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Nancy, yup if you posted last year's pics I would not have known. Sorry it was so crowded. Sorry, I don't plan on any more windows for a lonnngggg time now.

Elaine, glad you got to make good use of the nice day and came out with trinkets too! Mmmm CF.

Ted took the top off the bird and we went topless with tunes from the 60's just loving it like a couple old ones we were! Was some fun. Came back with HF sundaes for Mom and Ted, I got scoops.

NASCAR time now. I'll probably go read or something.

 

[helenabear]

Nancy, sorry the tulips weren't quite as pretty for you there. I know ours just came out and are starting to look beautiful! I don't see many purple ones so that sounds amazign to me

Yum... sounds like you had a good evening there Lily! Riding around topless is awesome!
I hadn't had CF in a long time, so I was thrilled to go today. Just a little bonus. Though we didn't get any cheesecake at all!

I'm off to bed... see y'all tomorrow!

 

[kimmar067]

....Kimmar, whatcha been up to this weekend?....

....being GOOD .... ! Actually, I went scrapbooking at my girlfriend's sister's house last night; got 2 more pages done in my WDW book.... cleaning the house, doing the laundry, yada, yada, yada, AND I get to start on my Collaborative Action Research paper....blechhhh!

 

[isyne4u]

hi gang,

I wanted to come back earlier and post but i took a claritin on an empty stomache and I began to think I was getting the stomache virus again. It seems to have passed and I feel human again!

Getting ready to go to bed now. Have to wrap Jar's presents to take to CEC for tomorrow. Wow! Its hard to believe how another year has come and gone. It just doesn't seem possible!

Have a good evening all!!
