Thanks everyone for the welcome!! I'll keep posting in here and reading yours so perhaps we can get to know one another better....and Squaredsc I need to be honest with you. I had NO idea what aubergine was. So I could give you an educated answer I went to a search engine and all I could find was web sites talking about eggplants of all things....then a dear friend of mine decided to get me "off the hook" and tell me that it was a color of purple. So after all that research...yes I love aubergine.

LOL, Bobbie...Square will love you for your effort!

1. I'm curious as to what human foosball is? LOL.

2. Still haven't gotten out to teach Kota bike riding..she got in trouble earlier for making a mess and until she cleans it up, she's not doing anything.

3. Had a great mail day today...no bills, and two checks! Woo Hoo. Unfortunatey, I can't spend either on what I want to and have to use them for plumbing/repair work, LOL.

4. Looking for to the start of the amazing race game tomorrow. Think its going to be great fun!

1. I've been super busy this week at work and I love coming to this thread and catching up on all your doings! (Welcome Bobbi, I loved your post!)

2. Today my brother had his blood test, so we'll get the results on Monday...it's been a very long week.

3. I did my Weight Watchers weigh in tonight and I've lost more weight, which is good for my health.

4. My dh is up in Reno until Sunday, so it's just me and kidlet #3.

5. Tomorrow I'm taking the afternoon off so I can go watch kidlet #3 at his track meet.

War, have you ever seen a foosball table? It may be called table soccer there. Well, we put lines of tape on the floor and the kids have to stay on the lines and hold hands before they can kick the ball. Really wild!

1. A presentation I made on my dissertation made the paper today (I shared about it in my message folder).

2. I got the contract for my new job in the mail. Turns out that I will only pay $26/month for full coverage medical, prescription, and dental insurance. I pay over $140/month right now and the plan sucks, so I'm excited.

3. It is exactly 6 weeks from today until my dissertation defense.

4. Everything has to be written 3 weeks and 3 days from today.

5. About two hours ago, my right eye started twitching and it is now driving me crazy. I'm considering suing Hermione.

6. Turns out the cat I've been feeding for 3 months is with-kitties. <sigh> I thought it was a boy. I needed to have checked out the equipment more closely, but since the durn little thing wouldn't let me touch her until last week, I couldn't exactly tell. And by then, well, the deed was done. Anyone need a new kitty? I'd seriously consider delivering them before I'd consider the pound.

Spy, I'd love a new kitty! About how much time do I have to talk hubby into it?

Thursday, April 03, 2003 - 08:58 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
hehehehe...well, we've got approximately 30-45 days till the little bundles of joy arrive, and then six weeks after that till they are weaned...so, we're looking at mid June, I think! :)

Woohoo! That should give me plenty of time to sway him to my way of thinking! Especially since my birthday is mid June! I want first dibs on the cutest!

1. Hi Bobbie - your life sounds so fulfilling. Welcome to TVCH Land.

2.When we (my puppy and i) lived in this great house with a yard, all the neighborhood kitties would come and sit with him and catch the warmth of the sun on their faces.

3. There's a big cat that lives around the corner. He always plops out of the window and comes and kisses him on the nose when he sees us walking by on nice days. It is just so adorable.

4. Poetry is a very healing tool to use to balance yourself with the world. imo.

5. talk about things - read about things - paint pictures - observe poems - wash your hands in a riverbed of symbols and be happy that you are here.

6. Just posting a note to say hi to everyone.

7. Text description

1. Love that picture, Cyn
2. Had fun in chat last nite
3. Got teary eyed this morning, about 90% of staff at work are wearing white t-shirts that say that we stand behind our soldiers. It looked so awesome walking down the hall seeing that kind of support.
4. TGIF ... TGIF ... TGIF (can you tell that I'm so glad it's Friday?)
5. I only have one ball game or sport to attend this weekend and it's not early, early Saturday morning (whoo hoo!)
6. That means I can sleep in a little bit
7. I hope to finish the afghan that I am crocheting for my daughter.
8. They are building a Krystals burger place in the next town over ... that's cool ... but it's not nearly as cool as it would have been if it were a White Castle.

1. We took the kids out to dinner last night. While sitting there, the cops walked in and dragged some guy out. It took us so long to get our food, I'm still wondering if he was the cook.

2. Bike riding lessons will begin shortly. Dakota's excited, I'm scared.

3. We bought her a new bike yesterday because the old one is a bit small for her. She want's to learn on the little one right now...I think she's nervous about how big the new one is.

4. Caleb is out back talking to the neighbors..he threw his football over their fence yesterday and is asking for it back. Problem is, they don't speak English, and Caleb only knows a few words in Spanish.

5. I need a vacation. It's been too long.

6. Caleb has practice today, a game and pictures tomorrow for little league.

7. I slept funny last night, now my neck is stiff.

8. Caleb managed to tell the neighbors about his football...they're looking for it. He was very polite.

9. LOL, Dakota just announced she doesn't want to learn to ride her bike today...she's cold!

1. Hoping everyone has a great weekend!
The stepkids are going to their Mom's and DH is off, so I'm hoping to go out for a "date" to celebrate the new job, etc. this weekend.

2. I'd love to have a Spy kitty, but don't think she'd be willing to drive to WA.. LOL So you'll have to post some pictures.

1. went to another retirement party last night, for someone i used to work with.

2. people keep retiring, and that means free beer, and it is ok with me.

3. my alterego friend was the main planner for the party last night, and she sang. it was just a really nice party.

3.5 i did end up getting the hair cut the other day (again). can't decide how i feel about it yet.

1. I am so glad today's Friday!
2. Wargod, when I taught both of my girls to ride a bike it was on one that was small. It didn't scare them as much so they caught on quickly. Dakota can start on the small one and as her confidence grows she can move on to the bigger one. Good luck!
3. My ex is taking both girls tomorrow so I have a free day!
4. I have know idea what I'm going to do with it yet. Free days rarely come around anymore so I'm going to try and enjoy it!

1. Still waiting for Kota to ride that bike. I'm affraid I will have to go over and help her myself!
2. My cute little adoreable puppy lost some bonus points today. I was on the 'puter and all the sudden thought it was a little too quiet around the house. That should have been my first clue. I call the dogs and Maggie came running down the stairs. She had little white things *all* over her fur. I should mention that Oliver, Mom's dog, was spotless. I follow the trail up to my room where I find a whole roll of toilet paper chewed to bits. ON MY BED!!!
3. It's still there. I was too frustrated, tired and, well, lazy to clean it up.
4. It did make me laugh though. She has never done something like that before. Newspaper in the backyard, yes, destruction in my bedroom, no.
5. I think it is now officailly time for some Ben and Jerry's. With a spoon, out of the carton!

1. Woo-hoo, kids are gone the weekends started!!

2. We decided to get Chinese food tonight so DH didn't have to cook.

3. I have this thing now for the fried cream cheese wontons.. Y-u-m-m-y!!

4. We have two movies to watch tonight after the regular TV shows are over.

5. One is Far from Heaven, and the other is The Truth about Charlie. I hope they are good, and I can stay up that long..LOL

6. I'm watching Most Talented Kids right now, and posting at the same time.

1. Dang dog is out romping in the backyard and won't come in.

2. It rained, the wind was blowing hard, and it was freezing here today. Tuesday its supossed to be near 90!

3. I found a bracelet I lost awhile back tonight. Its silver and jade, a gift from Darren, and I was very upset I lost it....so glad to have it back!!

4. I bought new living room curtains tonight. I can justify this purchase as plumbing damage since I ripped the old curtains while bringing the carpet cleaner in from the garage last week to suck up the water on the bathroom floor/hall carpet.

5. Wondering if I can justify carpeting the den too even though its clear on the other side of the house.

6. Dog is still romping!

7. I've got both Caleb and Dakota asleep on the living room floor...I'm wondering if I can get away with leaving them there for the rest of the night or would they freak out when they woke up to find they aren't in bed.

1. I had a very incredible day yesterday! We had over 200 elementary kids from lots of different schools come to my university to sing in "songfest". I got to direct one of the choirs, and they did an awesome job on the concert.

2. It was a very long day!

3...It was also VERY hot in the building.

4. Over 1000 people came to see their concert.

5. Went to the local pub afterwards with a couple other teachers and the other director...we still had on our concert attire. Long black skirts and sparkly black tops...mine was very sequinned.

6. Had a very strange occurance at the pub. Still thinking about it...Hmmmm since I don't know how to describe it, I'll just let it fester.

7. I had a blood sugar crash on Thursday night and didn't have any of the right foods to get me out of it. Called PBH, and he came right over with milk and OJ. I was in pretty bad shape but 25 minutes later got levelled off. I hate having hypoglycemia, but would hate having diabetes worse!

8. It was a very busy and rough week at work, without time to eat properly (see number 7). I hope next week will be better.

1. I'm helping to chaperone (sp?) my niece's 16th birthday party tonight at the K of C hall. 50 teenagers. God help me.

2. I will see my brother(not the father of 16yo) tonight for the first time in almost 3 months. Not looking forward to that.

3. Maesin's #2 had me cracking up. My darling 9month old tabby, Thunder, loves to tear up rolls of toilet paper. He will not touch a half roll. It must be a new full roll. The little sh*t.

4. Wargod, I think if you choose a not so expensive carpet in the hall and livingroom, that you can definitely justify new carpet for the den.

5. Mygetaway, in your #3, are you talking about Crab Rangoons? I love those too! Had them for lunch yesterday.

6. I have to take a typing test on Tuesday for a job I applied for. No interview yet, just the typing test. I guess if I can't type they don't want to talk to me.

7. The weather in Boston is real crappy today. Rain and sleet. I hope everyone shows up for the party tonight.

8. Marm's #6 made me think of the ghostly experience I had in work a couple of weeks ago.

9. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
