Night Nana Heads

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Happy friday to all

suppose to be hot and clear blue skies again today. Will be glad when winter sets in and it only get 75 yo 80 with NO humidity.

well I am off to make a birthday cake this morning.
DS is coming home tonight, so Poncho will be going home late tonight or first thing in the morning. Minnie will miss her new playmate I'm sure. So will I.

Anybody got special plans this weekend, besides all the birthday parties??
On our thread for a different cruise there are several birthdays this month too. Kind of strange to me.

well I have done my bit to help bump us today, so now I am off to bake a cake and have breakfast, it's almost 6 a.m. so I'd better get a move on!!

Happy Birthday Greg

Good morning all!

We had quite a downpour around 5:30/6:00 this morning. Hopefully it'll clear out as the day goes on.

Kathy -- no big plans for us this weekend. I'll just try to get caught up on all the things I didn't do during the week.

No school for DD today ("School Improvement Day") so I'm off to work and DH will stay home. He has to meet with a guy who's supposed to fix our fireplace this morning, so I think work is the better deal!

Have a great Friday everyone!

Talk to you later!!!

Good morning Banana Heads

GREG!

MINA!

Gotta go ER is own tonight so I have to drive DH crazy with all my "that never really happens like that in an ER" comments during the show.Wendy

I'll bet you're a real treat to watch House with, too . I had to get a couple of tests done the other week at the hospital and the last one was an x-ray. I told the tech, "I just did this, this, and this. I wanted to make sure you know so that you're sure that nothing's going to pop out of my skin when you take this x-ray. I watch House ... I know what can happen!" She had a good laugh at that ...

Jeff, best of luck this weekend with the houseful of partying girls!

Kathy, mmmm cake! What kind? Hope Minnie doesn't have any trouble missing her new friend. Maybe they can get together for play dates!!!

P.S. Who would've expected Bob to raise the ante for the ???

You know, Cheri....As soon as I hit "Submit Reply" I thought to myself, "What have I done...I despise those little things!!" But, I guess it is just my competitive nature (too many years playing football and wrestling).

Okay, a cat story now. One of our older cats, Sweetie, does not meow for anything except food and attention, and those are rare. Other than that, not a sound. A few years ago, he had a toy spider. One night, at about 2:30 in the morning, we hear this mounful, muffled meow coming from the hallway. I told Lisa that sounds like Sweetie and she jumps up to see what is wrong. Well, I start hearing her laughing like crazy, and then telling Sweetie that he is a good boy. When she comes back to bed, still laughing, she tells me that he had this spider in his mouth, dropped it at her feet, and cocked his head up to say look what I have done! Well, of course, since she praised him for it, that spider has died a thousand deaths. Once we got the two labs, we took up the spider because the youngest was trying to tear it up. So now, this cat "kills" every piece of cloth in the house. He will go into the laundry room or hamper and "kill" socks, underwear, dish towels, dish rags and napkins. It is not uncommon for us to come home from work and him have found 5 or 6 socks and dropped them all over the hallway!

Hey Bob
Congrats to the Yellowjackets. Now our teams have something in common - they both pasted UVA. Hope you have better luck in your next big game than the pittsters did against michigan state. Pitt has a game against the citadel this weekend (yawn) in a stretch of the schedule where they shouldn't lose for a few weeks, but may find a way to do so anyway...

Ok, Bob... my turn about animals that tear up all the clothing in the house. Sorry that most of the stories are about Sam but, he really was a character.
Shell used to leave her loafers beside her chair and Sam had an affinity for tearing stuff up in his youth. He was also a very social dog and when we left he got upset and a little resentful. When we finally got the point across to him that "tearing up a couch" or "ripping up mamas lambskin slippers" were bad things...he finally calmed down a little. He did find a way to express his frustration when we left, though. The loafers had little leather shoelace with tassles and we would occasionally find a tassle torn off or even better, (don't ask me how he did it)...he would untie the laces of the shoes and leave them in the middle of the living room. Goofy dog.....

Hello everyone,
We got the results from Laura's EEG yesterday, it seems everything is ok.

Again thank you all for your positive thoughts, and for thinking of us. It was a big burden lifted when we got that call yesterday.

It was a fun game. Weather was crisp and beautiful. Only problem is we didn't get home until 12:30 a.m. It was a good win for us as we start our ACC schedule. Next week, we go up to Blacksburg for Va. Tech. That will be our first real test since Notre Dame.

Good luck against the Citadel. I hear they are a real powerhouse!

Shell, yeah I'm a thrill when it comes to medical shows, I snort and go ohhhh please lots during the show . So Mike just gets up and goes in the other room cause he is tired of reminding me ITS JUST A TV SHOW, WENDY

Woohoo for little Laura! Thanks for letting us know, Steve!

To add to Bill's story above about Sam and my shoes ... it should be noted that everything else on those loafers remained UNTOUCHED ... except the tassle and the untying!

I have a cat story. Long time ago, I had one of those cats that was just too curious. She'd climb up the stem of the Xmas tree and peer out a branch ... would bring the Kill of the Day in the house ... you know the kind. Well one morning, I'm lying in bed, the ceiling fan is on its slowest speed, and there was like a ledge that circled the room. Somehow she got on the ledge, I barely had my eyes open and saw her ... just sitting on the ledge staring at the fan. I thought, Nah, she wouldn't dare ... closed my eyes .. the next thing I hear is a THUMP. Open my eyes ... the cat is hanging onto one of the blades going round-and-round above my head. What a nut.

Thanks for updating us!

Steve - really glad to hear all is well!!

Bob - did you say we were tendering in St Thomas?? Do you know if there is a way to tell how many other cruise ships will be in port with us - I am assuming tendering means there are quite a few ships.

I need excursion help my fellow lovely-banana-heads (please). I have some time on my hands at work (kindly remember the whole project cancelling story) so.....what is a girl to do but continue to plan her upcoming cruise right! Anyway, I am starting to second guess my choices for St. Thomas because I have been reading trip-advisor.com. We were originally going to Coral world and Coki Beach, but now I am wondering is we should really take a Disney excursion over to St John because it is supposed to be so wonderful.
Anyone have any suggestions?? Anyone been to St John before?? Or have any words of wisdom for St THomas in general?? I asked Bob about the cruise ships in port because if we go to St John it would be for tranquility and if there are TONs of ships maybe everything would be really packed?? And, DS will only be 4 (but we could likely pass him off as 5 lol) so we can't do scuba or anything (I think snorkeling would be OK though). Anyway, your thoughts would be appreciated!

PS - I havn't tackled my St Maarten choice of Lotterie Farm yet (on our own) so I'll have to let you know if I change my mind on that one too!!!

Steve, that is awesome news for Laura

Well my is all made and cooled off, so now I need to make the chocolate mousse filling and then the chocolate frosting and I will be done.
DH wont be home til late, so I've plenty of time to get caught up on todays posts.

Shell I can just picture your kitty spinning around on the fan!! That was hilarious
It seems we all have soe kind of animal stories to tell whether their were our pets or a pet of a relative or friend.

When I was growing up we always had a dog or two. Once we had a pomeranian called fluffy, he would ride in my doll buggy and the older dog, Cindy would push him down the sidewalk with her nose.
Fluffy would also ride on my motorcycle with me as we went dirt bike riding in the mountains. His favorite food was chili beans sprinkled with tillamook cheese and vanilla ice cream. YUK!!!!

Bill, My DH loves gov't cheese!!! I cant stand it myself.

Both dogs are sleeping now for almost 2 hours. I tired them out by playing fetch at 5 a.m. this morning.

Lucinda, how is your DD doing today? I hope she is having a better day today.

well time to get busy with the chocolate mousse, hope it comes out good.

Everyone should be very proud of yourselves, we are keeping up the posts really well, we may make that 4000 posts yet!

Denise, you 600 is getting very close!!
