Archive through April 25, 2003
Maesin | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 01:17 pm     1. Between the kids going to Kindergarten and kids being sick and someone having contractions since Saturday, I think I am very glad right now I don't have any!! (I do like other people's kids though, sometimes!) 2. I got on the treadmill the other day. First time since I got in the fight with the stairs. The treadmill won. I have been giving it the evil eye for two days now. I think I will be ready for it tomorrow morning. 3. I am officially on weekend again. Not a three dayer though. This will be my shortest weekend in a month. I am not looking forward to working all five days next week! 4. Starbucks has my Mocha Malt! I am a happy little coffee camper now. I got one this morning on my way home and everything seemed right with the world. 5. My Canucks beat the Blues and now must face the Wild. I have best wishes for this one, but I am not holding my breath. I know better than to do that! 6. All my baseball teams are doing well. That makes me happy. I sit around and talk a little "stuff" right now! It's not nice to brag, but at least it's all in fun and it keeps the nights at work from dragging too much. 7. I can't believe I got number 10 and am finding ways to fill it up. This is like a little journal for all of us and I really enjoy reading it, bad days and all. 8. I always feel like I should respond to above posts, but am not sure how to to that. I am constantly surprised, joyful, sad, excited and even left in suspense by this thread. This is one of those threads that I take the time to read all the way through, so even if I don't comment on something, I did laugh, sigh, frown, smile and make "ick" noises when reading your post. 9. Hmmm, I got a little sentimental there. Time to move on! 10. I am trying to give up pop. Not all the way, just remove a lot of it from my system. I keep telling myself I love water. I drank the last pop I had in the house two days ago. I still have a little at work, but not at home. I really want one right now. Does anyone know of a twelve-step program for me? |
Mygetaway | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 02:29 pm     1. I LOVED Maesin's #8 post because that is exactly how I feel!! Good job Maesin. |
Lobster | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 03:02 pm     1. I agree with Maesin's #8, too! 2. When I gave up pop, soda, whatever, I found that seltzer was a nice replacement. Around here, you can get fruit flavored seltzer that has no added sugar or nutrasweet, and it tastes pretty good. Still has the bubbles and is better than plain water. Tonic water on the other hand is just yucky in my opinion. |
Ginger1218 | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 04:09 pm     1. My absolute favorite thing to drink is flavored sparkling water - sugar free- sodium free, caffeine free - calorie free. They sell it at Walmart under the name Clear Choice. and they sell it at StopnShp Supermarkets under a different name, but theirs is great too. 2. I called in sick today, I was just not in the mood to go to work. 3. I have the best sister in the whole world. She is my best friend. I just wanted to share that. |
Nancy | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 04:39 pm     1) I am going to be a great auntie again. 2) my niece (who's making me a great auntie) is getting married! 3) I leave for vegas 2 days after the above wedding! 4) I've got lots of shopping to do!! |
Ddr1135 | Wednesday, April 23, 2003 - 10:56 pm     1. I fell asleep at 7:30 last night and woke up at 11:30. I'm now drinking coffee and starting my day. 2. My life is crazy right now with work. I work for a non profit that produces a three day festival and it is weekend after next. 3. I'm actually way ahead of schedule, but that's making me anxious cause I'm thinking I forgot to do something. 4. I actually rushed to a meeting YESTERDAY morning that is actually this morning. 5. This is the festival if anyone is interested: www.bbcrawfest.com |
Sukii1 | Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 04:05 am     1. Maesin, what's really bad is when you don't check in for a day or two, have a ton of posts to read, then forget what you want to reply to each one of them by the time you get to bottom to post. I'd need more than 6 to say everything I want to say! 2. War you confirmed my worst fears on the paperwork nightmare. We go this afternoon to Kindergarten roundup, I'm dreading the paper pushing. (I'm looking into the "two for the price of one" flight to Timbuktu, btw ;) ) 3. Spy, hope your appt goes well. Nancy, congrats on being a great aunt again! Love it when you can spoil them to death and then send them home Square, pms and cramps SO SUCK. I turn into mega-biatch during that time, ugh. Hugs to Sia and the puke-monsters. Ok, I know I'm forgetting someone to reply to. 4. Thanks for the compliments on dd's name, everyone..Abby, I think we have great taste for naming our kids! Do you know what drives me nuts..someone spelling Sky's name with an A at the end. skylar. 5. It rained all day yesterday, now our yard, horse pen and drive is a lake. Where are my duck boots when I need 'em. 6. More rain expected today, oh yippee. Survivor on tonite, new episode, yayy! Just want to say "Dr. Marm" sounds so awesome! congrats Dr |
Egbok | Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 08:49 am     (...just sneaking in to say Happy Birthday to Whit!) |
Sia | Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 09:44 am     1. LOL, Sukii, @ the "puke-monsters!" Thanks, everyone, for your well-wishes. 2. My son's vomiting finally stopped yesterday afternoon, but then he SLEPT an abnormal amount of the time, which made me worry that he'd dehydrate. 3. He wouldn't eat, either, because he was afraid of getting sick again. 4. I'm almost caught up on laundry after all that mess! 5. All I could do yesterdady afternoon and last evening was sleep and try not to hurl; my back ached something fierce, and nothing I took took the edge off the pain. 6. Kept son home from Kindergarten today because he was impossible to awaken at 5:30 and because I still feel terrible. 7. I need to get back to my bedroom, as it is currently the room most in need of cleaning; I dream of having a neat, orderly house that looks like it could be featured in a magazine. |
Jewels | Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 12:16 pm     1. (((Sia))) I hope everyone is on the mend soon! 2. This is my most favorite thread in all of TVCH. I love reading about other people and their lives. 3. My son turns 3 on the 2nd and we are taking him to the zoo if the weather is nice, if not we are going to the Children's Museum or OMSI. 4. We are leaving my daughter with grandma so just my husband, son and I can spend the day together. 5. He is getting a little swimming pool for his birthday...he will LOVE it! 6. Now we just need to get some nice weather so he can play in it. 7. I am starving and I just ate lunch...not good. 8. I hope everyone has a great day!  |
Spygirl | Thursday, April 24, 2003 - 10:39 pm     1. I just got home about 20 minutes ago from a trip to my surgeon in Little Rock that was supposed to take about 8 hours. 2. The trip took almost 12. Over two of the hours was spent waiting to see the doctor, which I finally got to do at almost 6:30 PM!! 3. I missed Survivor. I missed all the prime time shows. Heck, I missed all the late night shows. Thank goodness for text messages from Wargod that kept me updated. 4. My car has hail damage - how much I'll figure out tomorrow...when I wake from the dead around noon. 5. I'm thinking after 3 rounds of hail, the last being almost 2 inches in diameter lasting about 4 minutes, it is gonna be bad. 6. I spent about 2 hours in a very tiny town in Arkansas where two women felt sorry for me stranded at a gas station in the terrible storm and let me follow them to their house. They were very nice and let me ride out the storms with them which raged another 2 hours. 7. I'm somehow home safe. The sequence of events are attributable only to God that I didn't get caught in the middle of the worst part of the storm. He was certainly looking out for me. 8. Oh! Did I mention that I took this trip with my two dogs? And did I mention that I didn't eat for about 9 1/2 hours in there as well? It is a very funny story, I'm just glad the day is over. P.S. Everything with the surgeon's visit went fine. |
Mware | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 06:36 am     Spy - Thank goodness you're safe! Better a 12 hour trip with everything OK at the surgeon's office, than a 6 hour trip with a problem that needs follow-up. |
Ladytex | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 07:32 am     {{Spy}} we missed you last nite in chat This is for Ms. Squared
TGIF!! |
Cyn | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 07:46 am     1. Wishing I could be at the BBCrawfest! 2. Thanking God that SG is ok. 3. Glad to hear that Sia's children are recovering, and loving the Mom stories. 4. I wish my Mom and I was really close, but we aren't even though I think she is the best. 5. I miss chatting with everyone too! And, Yes! TGIF! 6. I have been busy preparing paperwork for school also. 7. It's a challenge since I have lived by the motto of not allowing school to interfere with my education which also means that I have never had an income that pays for the things that I need even if it does supply enough for the things that I want. 8. It just goes to show you - hard work with lots of effort can bring to you anything that you desire. 9. Today I am at home. |
Squaredsc | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 09:19 am     1. im at work 2. thanks ladyt 3. spy we laughed in chat bout your trip 4. glad you and dogs were ok 5. my back was hurting earlier 6. took nother advil 7. i hate my job 8. im hating my whole life 9. no im not depressed 10. i just need some....<can't say will get mod'ed>  |
Twinkie | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 09:20 am     1. In 45 minutes hubby is taking another big test. 2. I'm praying he does well. 3. I'm going back to bed after he leaves since I didn't sleep well last night. 4. Today's temp is much better than the last few days but still not as good as the weekend was. 5. Tomorrow we are going out to the country house to show it to a potential buyer. 6. I hate Friday night TV and may just pop in a DVD to watch. 7. I can never see Shrek too many times. 8. My tulips are now about 6 inches tall. 9. I can't wait til they are blooming. 10. Looks like my roses all made it thru the winter. |
Twinkie | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 09:22 am     Geez, I could have saved myself 9 facts. LOL Spy, we had a great laugh at your expense last night in chat.  |
Sukii1 | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 01:14 pm     1. Spy I must say it was quite funny how War told your story in chat...she had us all rolling! Glad you are safe, though, and crossing fingers for notsobad hail damage..although it IS possible for them to declare it totalled simply from hail damage and you'll get another brand spankin' new car from insurance! |
Spygirl | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 02:49 pm     1. Poor Wargod was laughing on the phone so loudly, I thought I might not be able to finish the story! 2. Oh - and the damage....is pretty bad. I don't think it'll be considered totalled by any stretch, but it'll be a couple thousand dollars worth of damage. If it isn't, I'll be shocked. I've got a chipped windshield, dozens of hood dents, dents on the top of the car, and even dings and dents on the sides of the car! I take it to the insurance adjuster on Wednesday. I only have a $100 deductible and they'll pay for a rental car while mine is being fixed. I have a great policy! |
Wargod | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 03:02 pm     1. Poor Spy scared me half to death when she emailed me to get off the internet so she could call! 2. I kept apologizing for laughing, but I'm not sure she heard me over her howls. Oh, and I got yelled at by Darren for talking to her on the phone while she was driving! 3. I hate the damage is bad, but very, very glad the insurance will cover it all without a fuss!! |
Urgrace | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 05:11 pm     1. Shoot, I missed another good night at chat apparently 2. Glad you are doing okay Dr.Spy 3. I tried to donate to Moondance's run/walk and when my cc was declined I realized my new credit card had not been activated since I got it two months ago! 4. The psoriasis on my hands is screaming raw pain right now. I've drank enough water to fill the Ohio River and am still dehydrated. |
Spygirl | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 05:17 pm     1. In my defense, I was safely utilizing a cell phone hands free device when chatting with Wargod in the car. 2. I can't believe it, but all of the major writing on my dissertation is finished. My committee has my fully written and edited Chapter 4, and my major professor has Chapter 5 to review and approve. 3. I now have a billion little stupid things to do over the next 3 weeks to prepare for the actual defense. 4. Gracie, I recommend pedialyte for dehydration. I don't, however, recommend the original flavor. 5. I got some sun outside today while I edited my fifth chapter for the fiftieth time. The sun was nice, the editing was not. |
Moondance | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 05:57 pm     1. I think MsGrace rocks and should eat a banana for some potassium and follow MsSpy's advice. 2. I haven't posted in this thread in so long! 3. I had a GREAT date the other night 4. I think it is because I glow now thanks to MsSpy! 5. They are tearing out every window and sliding glass door and sound proofing my place on wed... that means I will be completely exposed!!!! 6.They did my door a few days ago and I had NO door for hours. (7) It is hard rounding up the fur kids so they cannot escape! |
Sia | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 09:36 pm     1. Y'all will just love this one: after keeping my 6 1/2-yr-old home from school Wednesday & Thursday this week, I put him on the bus this morning at 6:25--only to be called at 8:00 by the school secretary: "There is no Kindergarten today." 2. I went to town to get my baby and then took him to get his hair cut, leaving sleeping DD home with sleeping DH. 3. DS waited until 3:20 this afternoon to tell me that his throat was hurting and that he thought he needed to throw up. 4. DS threw up (in the commode!) and I called dr.'s office, which closes at 4:00 on Fridays. 5. Took dog to vet at 6:30 this evening to get his stitches removed (neutered 2 weeks ago; great timing, eh?), but forgot sick-bucket for son. 6. Son did not need bucket, thankfully, but we are seeing nurse practicioner in the morning. 7. We will probably miss my granddaughter's bday party at the park tomorrow, but such is life. 8. Moon, I used to stack three baby-gates in my dorm-apartment doorway (I worked as a dorm supervisor in an old job) to keep my cats from escaping, while still enjoying the breeze and ease of conversation from passersby in the hallway. This works if you need to temporarily corral critters in a bathroom, laundry room, etc. (If you need a visual, I might could find an old photo to scan.) |
Mygetaway | Friday, April 25, 2003 - 10:34 pm     7. We will probably miss my granddaughter's bday party at the park tomorrow, but such is life. Sia.. Granddaughter?? Is that a typo of some sort or have I missed something somwhere? |
