Twinkie | Friday, May 09, 2003 - 06:33 pm     Come on by, marm! We'll be happy to see you! |
Sukii1 | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 06:21 am     1. Congrats to ladytx's dd and ds! Great accomplishments!! 2. I want to see Two Weeks Notice too, I bet it's great! 3. I'm officially a moron. Better judgement flew out the window during my tanning session. I tanned for 15 minutes, and that was TOO MUCH. The worst part is sitting down on a hiney that's BURNT..ugh. 4. My radishes are up in the garden!!!! YAYYYY!!! I must be whispering the right things when I'm watering them. My pumpkins, cantelope and watermelon aren't up yet. I think the package said it takes EONS for them to come up and be ready (like MONTHS). I will be nuts with impatience. 5. My sister, her boyfriend and me and Skyler went to the River Festival last nite for the parade..I was so disappointed. They've taken out about 30 of the floats. There just wasn't much to see. 6. Sky has a lingering ear infection, so back to the doctor we go. I'm SO tired of these ear infections, and I think they made a mistake by not putting tubes in years ago. 7. It's supposed to be a sunny 75 today. I'll have to find something to do outside. 8. I need more coffee, my facts today are pretty limp. 9. Tomorrow is Survivor Finale! Goooo Matt! |
Spygirl | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 06:39 am     1. Less than 1 week till the big "DD". I'm not quite ready. I didn't sleep well last night thinking of all the things I have to do. 2. I started tanning this last week, too. I feel better in shorts already 3. My car was not ready yesterday afternoon like it was supposed to be. I yelled at the guy on the phone and then started crying. I guess I'm a little stressed. 4. After that phone call, I went shopping and spent way too much money on clothes, shoes, a new belt and purse. 5. I'll have to transfer savings to checking to cover yesterday's shopping explosion. Did I mention I'm stressed? 6. I've now lost 92 pounds and I bought size 8 clothes yesterday...and some small shirts. 7. Since I've never worn 8s in my life, my mood was slightly recovered. 8. I came home and tried on all my clothes and shoes. That was fun, too. 9. I can't believe that in a month from today, my NYC trip will be completely over. I haven't even started to plan anything yet! 10. My parents, my local friends, and some TVCH friends (at least one so far!!!!) are all coming with me this weekend after my defense to celebrate. I'm pretty excited about that, too |
Egbok | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 08:18 am     <Warning, this is going to be a long, run-on sentence #1! LOL> #1. Last night I went to see my nephew in his high school play "West Side Story". It was truly, truly awesome! The live music, the sets, the actors, the singing!! Truly awesome. I'll be attending at least two more shows!! (Now for the run-on sentence part.) I'm so impressed with Spy's new clothing size 8...WooHoo!! I have to ask Spy, do your old shoes make you feel like Minnie Mouse....all loose and wobbly looking? I'm asking because that's what I'm encountering with my shoes since losing 19 pounds...time for me to get some new shoes - LOL! Everyone have a great weekend and WooHoo to Sukii for the radishes!! YAY!! |
Spygirl | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 08:30 am     1. Definitely, Egbok! LOL I have bought almost all new shoes since I've been losing weight. 2. My old shoes looked ridiculous on me It's the weirdest thing. |
Sia | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 08:54 am     1. Fixed scrambled eggs for the kids for breakfast this morning. 2. Let the kids make cinnamon rolls with orange-flavored icing, too; they had fun! 3. We have a birthday party to attend this afternoon at the home of friends. Congrats on the weight loss, you two!! WTG!! I wouldn't have thought that your feet would get smaller, too, but that's just a nice bonus! |
Schoolmarm | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 09:58 am     1. WHOO HOO my power cable for my computer just arrived and I can get back online! 2. I'll have to drive to Buffalo to the Apple store on a later date. 3. Spy, just keep working on your defense...you will be GREAT! And I assume that you will be printing on your own printer and won't have to do the dreaded "print from disc" that I had to do! 4. It really stormed last night and woke me up with the lightening. No tornados in this area because it is too hilly. I'm glad...I used to live in the midwest, which meant living in the basement for a good chunk of the spring and summer! After five years here, I've finally conquered the urge to go to the basement when the sirens go off. |
Spygirl | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 11:01 am     1. I will be printing my dissertation on the awesome printer at work - I just have to provide my own paper. 2. But, I won't be doing the final prints until after I come back from NYC. After I make my committee's corrections, I have to submit it all to the graduate school (before I leave for NY) for 3 weeks of rigorous editing. They do an awesome editing job in the graduate school. Something like 3-4 people read every single page. 3. When I come back from NYC, I'll pick it up from the graduate school, make their corrections, and THEN FINALLY print the final copies and submit them for binding. 4. This process is long and really sucks. LOL |
Wargod | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 11:38 am     1. Baseball practice has been changed...again! We have not gone more than two weeks this season with practice being on the same night. 2. Only have four more weeks....I can handle it, lol. 3. Today is my aunt's birthday, Monday is my bil's. Then Caleb's in a couple of weeks, and in June, we have four in a row. 4. Our weather is still very strange. This morning at 7:30 I walked out to check it, and it was nice and warm. By the time I took a shower and got dressed in shorts and a tank top, it was cool! It's semi nice now, but everytime the wind starts to pick up, its cool again! 5. Spy's gonna do great on her defense. No doubt in my mind...she's a pretty smart cookie. |
Schoolmarm | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 11:39 am     1. I was lucky that my committee gave me very few corrections at my defense, but my advisor and I really went through it with a fine tooth comb for punctuation and spacing. 2. Did my final edits and printing for the bindary between Monday evening and Friday noon...not bad. (oh, yeah, this involved about three "all-nighters") 3. I'm getting excited about NYC! I will be going on Tuesday, but will have to drive back on Saturday. 4. I have four students coming over in a little bit to work at my house. Gardening, dandelions, wash my car, refill my gas grill tank....don't suppose I could get them to climb up to the second story and replace a piece of downspout or paint the back end of the house! 5. I'm loving my new power cable! It glows with a yellow/orange light when it's charging and a green light when it is using the cable as a power source. |
Schoolmarm | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 12:58 pm     6. Sheesh, Wargod is fast...I bought some Lily of the Valley to plant under my wheelchair ramp because I love it, and it loves the shade. I also love having a wheelchair ramp eventhough I don't use a wheelchair. Great for strollers (don't use them either) and rolling luggage (use that ALL the time). |
Kstme | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 07:11 pm     1. Spy, I am so proud of you!! (stress???? wha's stress??? ) 2. The puppies (via Maesin) brought me some beautiful flowers and a card this morning. 3. I agree with War...this has been the strangest Spring this year! 4. It's been a week since I've read a book. 5. Tomorrow I am going to spend the day reading and lounging like the "bummette" I "should" be!! 6. My DH washed ALL the windows on the ground floor, inside and out, this morning! 7. Mt. Everest won't be summitted until after the 12th...bad weather again. |
Jbean | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 07:50 pm     1. have i mentioned that i HATE tornadoes? i need to move to where dr marm lives....are there any other kinds of natural disasters that happen there? 2. my cat got a new litterbox today, and is just a little TOO excited about it. you should NOT want to PLAY in your toilet. lol 3. my shoes have never changed size from my heavy to thin days, back and forth. always been a size 10 shoe since 6th grade. 4. because i have such big feet, i always get tall, clunky shoes to make them not look so big.., 5. i felt like having a drink tonight, so that is what i am doing...smirnoff ice, triple black (MMMMMMM, it is SO GOOD!) 6. i think i will join the folks in chat, if i can remember how to get there. 7. this was a good week for reality tv....josh eliminated from AI2, tina <> from the bachelor, and my very own "neigbor" heidi voted off survivor....it just doesn't get much better. 8. it had been really hot and muggy here all day, then when i left walmart it was A LOT cooler, like at least 10 degrees....weird. |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 08:44 pm     1. I don't think I can do nine. 2. I do have a couple thoughts I'd like to address, though. 3. Rover's new boat is very nice in a derelict looking sort of way. 4. It is a 1967 32' Grand Banks mini-yacht, just like the one we co-owned with him and sold. 5. It is MUCH better to have a friend with a boat than to have a boat yourself. 5. I agree with Maesin that Clan of the Cave Bear and the next one, Valley of the Horses, were pretty good books, and the others not so. I recently finished one of the later ones, and it had way too much soft porn for my taste. I just don't think the people who enjoyed the earlier books are looking for soft porn. We are not a soft porn audience. 6. I would never go to a tanning salon. 7. I use the fake tanning stuff, and it is fine for my old lady purposes of not scaring bystanders with my freakishly white legs. 8. I almost feel like I have been with Spygirl all through her dissertation. 9. And maybe I have. |
Sia | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 08:56 pm     For you, Jbean: |
Lobster | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 09:01 pm     1. With Spy's and Marm's dissertations, and my niece's thesis(hey that rhymes!), I've decided that I really don't mind being unedumacated and I'm not going back to school. 2. My mommy and daddy came home from Florida today. 3. Actually, they came home from North Carolina cuz they spent two weeks with my brother on their way up here. 4. My mother is probably going to think that I have completely lost it when I ask her to please pray for Squared cuz her mother in law is coming to stay. 5. I made sghetti and meatballs for their coming home dinner and if I do say so myself, it was delicious. 6. I have never gone tanning, and I'm not sure if I would because I burn pretty easily. 7. My brother recently purchased a red 67 Chevy. I wish I could see it but it's in NC and I'm in Boston. 8. I didn't win the lottery this week. Guess that means I have to go to work on Monday. 9. Did you know that Twinkies were originally filled with banana filling, but a banana shortage during WWII forced them to switch to plain filling? 10. My addergies are kiddin me. I hate tree podden. |
Sia | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 11:04 pm     LOL, Lobstah! I know a little girl who talks that way all the time, and she doesn't have allergies at all! It's not my daughter; she actually corrects other people's speech and grammar!! LOL. 1. I broke the promise I made to stay out of the HT area and don't know to whom I should report for my punishment. |
Bobbie_552001 | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 11:54 am     Way to go Spygirl a big whoo hoo to you!! Its never easy to loose weight. Are you taking in any broadway shows while in NYC? If so....see Aida if you have the chance. I've been fortunate to be able to attend many Broadway shows and by far the music in Aida was the very best. I just got home from a wonderful vacation in Marco Island. I spent the week with my sister and her 11 month old twins and 4 year old daughter. I had forgotten how good it feels just to sit and cuddle....and the smell of freshly bathed babies. Not to mention all the wine that was consumed watching incredible sunsets. My 24 year old son just called and said that he would be driving home to give his Mom a hug. YES. Four hours one way is quit a ways for a Mothers Day hug...don't suppose that he just might need one too, do you?? I just got back from one incredible vacation and I'm getting ready for another one....Florence, Italy over Memorial Day. Has anyone been there, and if so....what to do, what to see?? Happy Mothers Day to you all.....and God bless. |
Twinkie | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 02:39 pm     Florence is a fabulous place for shopping!!!! |
Schoolmarm | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 02:42 pm     1. I've been to Florence and bought a FABULOUS leather coat and gloves there...near the Church of the Little Flower. Great products and great deals. 2. I loved visiting the Dom (cathedral) and the art museums. The buildings are mostly in three color marble...green, pink and white. The statue of David is just in white marble....LOL! |
Spygirl | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 04:03 pm     1. Today was an absolutely beautiful day! I don't think it was anymore than 80 outside (much better than the mid 90's we've the last few days). 2. I didn't try sushi last night - I had the Hibachi Chicken instead. Maybe next time for the Sushi...and maybe I'll get some input on what to order first 3. I am hoping my car is ready tomorrow. I'm anxious to have it back. |
Wargod | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 05:17 pm     1. Today was flat out hot! After weeks of complaining about wind, rain, and cold, I am now going to complain about the heat. 2. Heat doesn't actually bother me, but the fact that it goes from freezing cold to burning up in the space of one night gets me a bit..grumpy, lol. 3. Had a nice Mother's Day. Got to go out to lunch, visited with my mom, grocery shopped, cleaned the house, and am deciding right now who's cooking dinner tonight. 4. Hubby's worked today too...he mowed the lawn, cleaned out the turtles tank, and has the kids doing their own weekend chores! |
Bobbie_552001 | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 06:34 pm     Thanks Schoolmarm and Twinkie for the information. Anything else that you can think of to send my way would be awesome. We are only going to be there for four days, but after doing some research and tons of reading, I'm getting very excited. Its the opportunity of a life time and I don't want to miss a thing!! Hope that your Mothers Day was great....and thanks again. |
Sia | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 08:31 pm     1. Last night DH promised me a lovely breakfast in bed for this morning, my favorite: poached eggs. 2. I went to bed at 4 this morning, got up at 8 this morning and made my own eggs at 9:00, then fixed scrambled eggs for both the kids. 3. When my m-i-l arrived at noon for a visit, DH got up then and I fixed him his brunch: one grilled cheese and a fresh tuna salad sandwich. 4. Was able to call my Mom and wish her a happy day; she was babysitting my six-month-old niece. 5. Really need to make a trip to the grocery store tomorrow. 6. Think I have an eye appointment tomorrow; it will be another busy week. |
Jbean | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 08:38 pm     lol sia, at the picture of the cat in the litterbox, that is frightening....someone...doesn't need any ideas and will not be seeing that picture. roflmao dang, i have never been moderated before...sorry mods, didn't know that would be offensive. |
