Goddessatlaw | Friday, May 23, 2003 - 06:51 pm     1. Six-year-old boys are so much fun, I hope you're enjoying his age, Hippy!! 2. For pete's sake, new tires are one of the few true joys in life as long as someone else pays for them. Kaili, I hope you whipped out your husband's credit card for the purchase. 3. Thanks, Babyruth - right back atcha. 4. The beavers are doing the backstroke across our reservoir as I speak. OMG. 5. The male did so much damage to our old trees last fall, I can't believe our condo management have let him live this long; 6. The male is HUGE - we're talking somewhere between 40 and 50 lbs. I'm thinking of calling Guiness for the world record weight of all beavers in history documentation. 7. The SOB is living under my dock, and I dislike him intensely. MM did, too, until his little red-headed girlfriend showed up the other day; 8. She swam out to meet him, and they did a nuzzling and kissing swim/dance right in front of us. Now MM wants them to stay, because they're a mated pair and if we have them removed they may be hurt or separated; 9. I can dig it, but they've got to go before they take down more trees. I've counted 7 downed and at least 5 more severely damaged from last year's dam-building season; 10. Nene did not come back today with her five little ones today that I saw, but another new mallard hen showed up with 7 tiny, tiny ducklings looking for corn love. I will name her Fredericka - she is darker and larger than the other hens. If she brings around her mate, I will call him Werner. Hortense lost one of her little ones last night, so now I'm having problems telling Myrtle from Hortense, except that Walter of the Ruffled Feathers tends to hang around Myrtle more than the ******* hangs around Hortense. Lucky Hortense - whatever happened to her missing duckling, I'll bet he was behind it. So far, we have 26 ducklings this spring and they are adorable. PS oops Egbok beat me to ten - you can consider this post one run-on paragraph, if you'd like. |
Sia | Friday, May 23, 2003 - 06:52 pm     1. Kaili, I can identify with your excitement over new tires! I got new front tires two weeks ago, too. 2. Today I had new rotors and new brakes put on my car; the brakes feel wonderful and very responsive! 3. The car repairs took a couple of hours, so my Mom drove to town to pick me up (with DD) and we spent the afternoon with my parents. 4. For once, my folks were at home alone! 5. I spent almost an hour giving Dad a back/shoulder rub, then helped Mom groom him (hair, shave, etc.) for their big outing tomorrow night (Alumni Banquet). 6. Spent the rest of my time there folding laundry for my sister and her family of six!! There was an entire laundry basket of unmatched socks, and I hardly made a dent in that, since I saved the socks for last!! 7. Am looking for a bill for something I bought through the mail; it's not like me to misplace a bill! 8. The packing slip says "This is NOT a bill." ARRGH! I know there's an invoice somewhere. 9. Missed my f-i-l and stepm-i-l's visit today; I didn't know they were coming and was getting the car serviced. 10. Did NOT make time for grocery shopping today; I must go tomorrow or face the consequences. |
Sia | Friday, May 23, 2003 - 07:00 pm     LOL, three at once! I think that's some sort of record!!! |
Egbok | Friday, May 23, 2003 - 07:07 pm     Wow! I'm in the record books at TVCH!! LOL And look, the posting times are 6:50, 6:51 and 6:52. |
Jbean | Friday, May 23, 2003 - 08:06 pm     roflmao at goddess' posts about all the wildlife community....ha ha ha. makes me appreciate the kitty's annoying habits. |
Spygirl | Friday, May 23, 2003 - 08:20 pm     1. I just re-potted plants that have been in need of new homes for ages. I'm now watching Raymond re-runs, eating a bowl of cereal, and considering a visit to the chatroom. |
Wargod | Friday, May 23, 2003 - 08:36 pm     1. I just cleaned the whole house so my mom could come over tomorrow and watch the kids all day. I have a feeling that after a day of grandma spoiling all my work is for nothing. 2. I got all my errands done today and considering how bad I was procrastinating, it was a miracle they got done. |
Jbean | Saturday, May 24, 2003 - 08:12 am     1. i went and visited my dad's grave yesterday for the first time since the funeral four and a half years ago (i had tried before and got lost, it got dark before i made it there, etc). it is over an hour trip away on very curvy roads that i don't know. buried in my stepmother's hometown. 2. i needed to go when i knew no one else would be there (especially my grandparents) so i could deal with any emotions i had. 3. i slept until almost 10 this morning, not using an alarm clock. that felt SO good. i was worn slick! |
Egbok | Saturday, May 24, 2003 - 08:54 am     Jbean, thank you for sharing a heartfelt moment with us. I hope you came away from your visit with a happier heart.
((((jbean)))) |
Hippyt | Saturday, May 24, 2003 - 06:11 pm     1.I'm glad Jbean got some alone time. 2.The birthday party is over,was a big sucess. 3.My son got an air hog airplane,that flies on pressurized air. We took it across the street to the park.It flew up into the air,turned around flew over our house,and went back to the bayou. 4.We haven't seen it since. |
Ladytex | Saturday, May 24, 2003 - 06:17 pm     1. I waited all day for Wargod to come to my house, but she didn't make it ... LOL ... j/k 2. My MIL did come, however, and she brought her mother 3. They are now in the HOJO Inn for the night 4. She's not a bad person, just very overbearing. 5. My dh, and I don't mean dear, owes me big for this since he's out of town this weekend ... |
Squaredsc | Saturday, May 24, 2003 - 06:33 pm     1. glad hippyt's son's party was a huge success 2. sorry her son lost his plane 3. hopefully it will fly home soon 4. im glad ladyt's mil and mom arrived safely 5. glad they are at hojo's 6. mine is still here. |
Schoolmarm | Sunday, May 25, 2003 - 05:20 am     1. I'm finally back online after having a BLANK brouser screen for 36 hours. 2. Called PBH to fix it, but I DID IT MYSELF!! WHOO HOO 3. I got my check for the research grant yesterday. 4. I went shopping with my own money before the grant came! Spent an insane ammount on clothes (next size up, darn it) and music. 5. I'm really happy that I have come comfortable clothes to wear to New York and Munich. 6. You won't believe the "little black dress" I got on sale. Wrinkle free, very dressy and so lightweight it could fit in a purse. Oh, and it makes me look about 20 pounds slimmer. It's a winner! 7. I probalby won't go shopping again for another couple of months. It's exhausting! |
Spygirl | Sunday, May 25, 2003 - 06:21 am     1. Hi Marm/NYC Buddy! Glad to know you got clothes and money and the little black dress! 2. My dog woke me up at 7:15 this morning barking at an unknown entity in the backyard brush. He's still out there. And he's still barking. 3. My friend Lisa is going on a mission trip to Africa for three weeks starting this Thursday...despite the warnings for non essential people entering Kenya. 4. This weekend, she and her hubby took their children to Texas to stay with family. It will be hard for them to be away from them for that long. They are a close family. 5. Because she does everything for everyone else, she is reluctant to let anyone help her, but I got her to give me some of their laundry to do while they were gone. She's been staying up till 2 and 3am doing stuff in preparation for the trip. 6. Since noon yesterday, I've been doing laundry nonstop. She gave me sheets, towels, bedspreads, and baby clothes to wash (not their baby...but hubby's nephew's baby). 7. I would have done more for her, but I'm lucky she gave me this much to do. She doesn't like to ask for help. 8. I'm going to Walmart today to buy film for my NYC trip and some things in preparation for the biggest garage sale in history that I'm having 4th of July weekend. I'm also gonna get my acrylic nails soaked off and have a new set put on. |
Wargod | Sunday, May 25, 2003 - 09:07 am     1. Darren and I went to the renassaince faire yesterday. 2. We got to hold hands in public! 3. It's been so long since I got to do that, I forgot what it was like, LOL. 4. We browsed every booth and vendor there, we stopped to watch musicians and plays and did all the stuff we rarely get to do with the kids. 5. I only got a slight sunburn. It was cool enough to wear my jacket most the day. Several coats of sunscreen and I kept my burn to light pink instead of lobster red. 6. I'm procrastinating. I need to go grocery shopping, buy Caleb's birthday present, and go to Costco. 7. I have been awake since around 3:30am. Darren on the other hand is still sleeping. 8. Caleb has decided he wants me to take donuts to school instead of cupcakes for his birthday. I like it. 9. I'm so glad we decided to do Caleb's party at the bowling alley! All I have to do for it is get the cake and pass out invitations! |
Kady | Sunday, May 25, 2003 - 10:15 am     1. I haven't done this in a long time so doing 10 will be hard. 2. After a month we have finally got our bathroom finished. 3. I say we but I didn't actually do any work...hubby did it in his spare time. 4. He doesn't think that all the hours I spend watching home improvement shows actually qualifies me to do the work. 5. My jobs were to pick out the paint color, the flooring and the wallpaper border. 6. I picked out kitten's playing in field of flowers with butterflies. 7. Since he won't let me get a new kittie, I am decorating with cats. LOL The new comforter that I got for our bed has cats on it too. 8. My son and I are going to the mall in a little while and I will get rugs, towel bars, and some new towels. 9. We are going to meet Azriel and her two daughters there. 10. Have a nice Sunday ya'll!!! |
Heyltslori | Sunday, May 25, 2003 - 12:20 pm     1. It's Riverdance day!! Woohoo!!  |
Cyn | Sunday, May 25, 2003 - 05:26 pm     1. Just saying hi and sharing some art that I did. 2. It's called "Dance"

Jbean | Sunday, May 25, 2003 - 07:25 pm     cyn, that is awesome! thanks egbok, i appreciate the hug! 1. i went to another cemetery here in town yesterday to visit a high school teacher/friend's grave that i hadn't been to in awhile. 2. i saw the movie "anger management" yesterday, and didn't really care for it. last night rented "halloween the resurrection", and "rules of attraction". the resurrection scared the sh*t out of me, and the rules of attraction, well, i am still trying to figure that one out. 3. i bought a magnetic bracelet the other day, as i have been having a pain in my left arm pretty much nonstop, and it seems to be helping a little. ps. i am SO happy that i don't have to work tomorrow! |
Kady | Sunday, May 25, 2003 - 09:14 pm     1. I am finding it hard to believe school is out for the summer here. 2. I know my son is looking forward to his time off but that in a few weeks he will be bored to tears. 3. I enjoy the summer because I cut myself back at work to only three 4-hour days. 4. I love the fact that my son is almost 12 and still wants me to come tuck him in. I feel very blessed and loved!! |
Mygetaway | Sunday, May 25, 2003 - 11:19 pm     1. I hope everybody is having a safe and happy Holiday weekend.. 2. I am still stuck using DH's keyboard, and I don't like it. I'm making many typos that I have to redo. 3. I hope I haven't missed anything major going on here.. I can't get myself away from the eagle cam and board. It's just as addicting for me as BB.. LOL 4. DH has been wroking all weekend, so we have nothing going on for the Holiday. 5. My two stepD's are attending a concert tomorrow for the first time unchapperoned. You gotta let them go at some point.. but dang is it scary... |
Egbok | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 09:54 am     1. MGA, yes...it is scary but like Star will have to do soon, you've got to let them leave the nest and learn to fly on their own. 2. Really though MGA, I feel for you and take heart that it'll all be okay. 3. Today we're having family and friends over for a BBQ to celebrate the start of summer with Memorial Day and to honor our dd who graduated from college. 4. DS went to his senior Prom at the Gene Autry Western Hertiage Museum near the LA Zoo and he had a wonderful time. 5. I was thankful that he didn't drive to his Prom because it's about an hour away. He and his friend pooled their monies and rented a limo. 6. Everyone have a fun Memorial Day holiday! |
Spygirl | Monday, May 26, 2003 - 04:00 pm     1. I had the most wonderful day at work!! Our company cooked out for us, and we played games all day - volleyball, ping pong, basketball, cards, dominoes, whatever. 2. I played 2-on-2 basketball without ANY shoes against with three men. We lost 15-12, so I didn't stink up the place. My arms have bruises from volleyball and I managed to bust a blood vessel in my hand from serving. Graduate school kinda messed up my athletic abilities. 3. I can easily say that this time last year, there is no way I could have played all day carrying around an extra 96 pounds. I did break a sweat playing basketball and can barely walk right now because I had to play completely on the balls of my feet (therefore my calf muscles are already so incredibly tense I can barely move), but I am not physically exhausted. What a great feeling to be able to do what I want to physically and not be limited by weight - one of the first times in my life I can say I know what that feels like. 4. I am about to run the hottest bath I can stand and then get in a soak for about an hour. Then I'm gonna munch on a banana in hopes that I won't wake up at 3am to painful muscle cramps in my calves. 5. I took my car back to the body shop early this morning. They are going to have to re-paint the entire car because they did a horrible job before. I spoke directly with the painter, and she said by the looks of my car, the previous tape job sucked (besides the clear coat that stunk), and it appeared that not one single thing had been done after the paint job to "clean up" the car (i.e. getting paint off of the handles, etc). She was embarassed. 6. I am now driving a 2002 Chevy Impala with a steering problem. <sigh> 7. I apologize to my TVCH friends since I have not returned any IMs or emails since yesterday morning. I've been getting ready for my garage sale and rapidly approaching move. My Internet time will go down some because of it. |
Sukii1 | Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 05:52 am     1. We went to the lake yesterday with some friends..I sat in the front of the boat where the ride is most bumpy..my tailbone and my butt will never be the same. 2. We DID have a blast though..getting out on the lake officially signifies the beginning of summer!! 3. We're planning a camping trip with same friends in June, and hubby has now informed me there are multiple problems with the camper/fifthwheel. Far be it for me to ask WHY he waited until 3 weeks before we leave to start trying to fix it??? ack. Men. I told him to use some WD-40 and duct tape, cuz those two items will fix anything. (he didn't appreciate my input, can you imagine?) 4. My second home has become our Teacher Resource Center here in town. This is where we can make tons of stuff for our classrooms, die cut, laminate, copy to our hearts content. I LOVE going down there!!!! Heading there this morning while Skyler is at her last day of school. 5. I'm also going to cram in 10 minutes of tanning. (No more 15 minutes stuff..fry fry fry). 6. I hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday. 7. I'm getting the bug to shampoo my carpet again, which means obsessive vacuuming...somewhere, someone is chanting 'green light green light green light.' 8. My cat is laying on the back of my chair and his stomach just growled...sounded very squishy. |
Wargod | Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 09:53 am     1. For the last two weeks, Dakota and I have taken turns being sick. 2. She is feeling great today, and I am feeling a little better with antibiotics. 3. I keep trying to clen and get starting and stopping, lol. 4. This morning, I swept up some leaves in the drive way....I managed to get about 20 before needing to sit down. 5. I figure if I work at it long enough, I'll manage to get something done today. 6. Tomorrow is Caleb's birthday. I have to bake a cake and my oven is broken. 7. Sunday I'll have to bake another cake and am hoping the oven is fixed by then. 8. It's suppossed to get up to 100 degrees today. I'm thinking later I might let the kids go out front and play with the water hose. 9. Hubby finished his second class last week. He has one more to take and then he'll be done with the 3 he needs for a promotion. He still has a couple more tasks besides the classes, but the classes were the most time consuming and difficult. |
