Sweetbabygirl | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 08:09 am     1. I should have gone to bed at 10 p.m. last night; I'm so sleepy....my bottom lip is drooling as I type this. 2. I envy my smaller-chested sistas in here....my bra is KILLING me, I wish I could go without!! 3. TGIF!! |
Not1worry | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 09:58 am     1. Day 1 of the 6 month deployment began with my daughter waking up an hour early. She was not happy that Dad was gone, even though we told her last night that he'd be gone in the morning. 2. I didn't really sleep much because I kept thinking I would be sleeping alone the next night and many nights after. 3. The kids get gifts when Dad deploys. We didn't plan on it being a tradition, but this is the second time in about a year. It keeps them happy and distracted. 4. One of the gifts was "The Love Bug" DVD which I plan to have them watch this afternoon while I crash on the sofa. |
Gidget | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 10:37 am     1. Hugs not1worry. We appreciate your hubby's service. God be with you all. 2. Beach outing yesterday, hot. 3. I was one of the lucky ones in NJ who had no real problem getting home and had power when I got there. I'm usually less than 10 miles from home but yesterday, went to the beach. 4. How did we ever sleep without air conditioning? I had power but they asked those of us with power not to further tax the system. So I tried to do my part. But I HAD to have a shower after the beach. 5. Hope the NE is sufficiently recovered tonight to not feel guilty about putting on the air. Come to think of it, it's running in the office. |
Kaili | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 10:50 am     1. I'm so glad I just found out the Packer game is on tonight instead of tomorrow- no Big Brother interference! 2. I just went to World Market to buy a bunch of wine and the check out woman knocked a bottle over but it didn't break. 3. She said she just knows something bad will happen today. 4. I laughed and said I'll probably end up dropping the bottles myself. 5. The second I stepped off the curb when I left the store, the plastic bag two of the bottles was in split at the bottom and they both broke. 6. I hope that was the bad thing she was waiting for to happen and her day gets better- she was nice. |
Wargod | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 01:04 pm     1. Hugs to Not and her family! 2. I'm going to designate hubby as menu maker here. It has been so hot that I've been keeping dinner simple, hot dogs, tacos, salads, sandwiches, and he started complaining. We've got a full freezer of meat, and we're eating salads. 3. So Tuesday night, I told him I'd take chicken out if he'd bbq it Wednesday. Said it sounded good to him. I take chicken out, marinate it all day, and he complains that he has to cook when he gets home. 4. Yesterday I take steaks out, thinking, ok, he's complained about nice and easy meals, he's complained about bbq, I'll make him happy and cook a great meal. Guess what? He comes home looks at the steaks and suggest Burger King for dinner....sigh. 5. I'm not taking anything out for tonight! LOL, I have tuna, corndogs, salad stuff, and the defrosted steak, he can make what he wants! 6. Despite this minor annoyance, he keeps me laughing, puts up with my wackiness, and loves me, what more could I want. 7. We're officially half way through our one month off track session for school. Me and the kids are surviving it remarkably well. Caleb has finished one chapter book, and Kota has been practicing writing daily, she's getting pretty good at it too. |
Sage | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 02:07 pm     1. I'm going to attempt to do eight. 2. Eight is my favorite number. (I think I said that once already.) 3. I typed up a fresh and current copy of Brian's resume. 4. I am very impressed by his carreer. 5. He is a master plumber and when he was 23, he joined the Peace Corp and used his trade in Western Samoa for 3 years. 6. I like it when he whispers sweet nothings to me in the Samoan language. 7. Brian calls me his Cinnamon Girl. (After a song by Neil Young.) 8. I have been getting massages 1 and 2 times a week, and my fibromyalgia is much improved because of that and the excerise I'm doing and because of the weight loss I've had over the last few years. |
Strawberry | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 02:41 pm     1. I can't believe I'm the one stuck with nine! 2. I hope all the east coasters are back with power again 3. I got a check today that I wasn't expecting! Yay! 4. I can't wait for fall and for the weather to cool down. 5. I would like to go get a massage. 6. I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow afternoon. 7. I just adopted a cyber kidlet named Tater. 8. I think everybody should go and welcome her to her new folder. 9. Whew! I made it to 9 |
Monkeyboy | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 03:49 pm     1. Well dang I have to do ten, then? 2. I got home at 10 am this morning. 3. My dog almost peed on me this morning cuz he was so happy to see me. 4. My one year old niece (who is the most precious thing) bit my lip as a "welcome back!" 5. I dont know if I have a job still. LOL 6. Im going to post my vaction and pics in the Road Trips thread (even though it wasnt a "Road" trip) when I figure out how to get these dang pics off of the digital cam. 7. number 7. 8. I thought I saw Justin Timberlake this morning, but it wasnt him. LOL 9. I have to catch up on all of my shows. 10. Im mad because it rained here in Phoenix while i was gone. |
Hippyt | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 04:26 pm     1)I was just sitting here reading this most interesting thread,and I hear small mmmmm's and yummmms coming from the kitchen. I run in there,and the 3 year has hijacked the icing we bought for her Dad's birthday cake,and is eating it with a spoon. |
Egbok | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 05:33 pm     (1. Welcome back MB! When you learn how to post the digi pics, please teach me. 2. Hippyt, aren't kidlets too cute! |
Sia | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 06:26 pm     Egbok, posting digital pics from your camera is the same as posting graphics as usual here. Type backslash-image then the name of your photo in brackets and post it, then you are asked to browse your hard-disk for the picture to upload to the board. If you've transferred the pics from your camera to your p.c. (mine has a cable for that with a USB port-plug on the end), you just find the folder where your pics are and click on the thumbnail of that photo (or the filename) and that will be the image uploaded. Good luck. |
Sia | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 06:31 pm     1. I tried to make my hair look nice before I left the house tonight for the mandatory meeting at DD's new school. 2. It POURED really hard and my work was totally undone! 3. DS got to stay at his best friend's house for an hour and a half. He was so happy to see his very best buddy from Kindergarten. |
Egbok | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 11:34 pm     (Sia, thanks for the tip, you are such a sweetie! I did try to post a pic in a practice thread but my file size was too big and I need to learn how to reduce it. I'll try to work it out this weekend...but thanks again for the help!) 1. Sia, enjoy your little ones for they grow up too quickly...sorry to hear the rain ruined your "do" for parents night. 2. Tonight I went with Egbob & Egdd to the Anaheim Pond to see the Opening Ceremonies for the World Gymnastics Championships. 3. Along with all the speeches and parade of nations, we saw an awesome aerial act by three ladies from Toronto (Yay Canada!!). 4. After the ceremonies were declared open, Egbob, Egdd and I went to Downtown Disney and ate dinner...I'd never been to DD before, and it was really a kewl place! |
Twinkie | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 05:07 am     Eggie, download Irfanview.com (free) to resize your pics. Its really easy! Only took me a couple of minutes to figure out. Once you have Irfanview on your desktop then click on Irfanview then clk on File, Open, and then go right to your pics file and pull up the pic you want to resize and resize by percentage of original size. If your pic is originally 275k at 100% then change it to 30% of original size. Bada Bing its done! Hope this helps! |
Bobbie_552001 | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 05:34 am     1. Things are starting to get back to normal, or as normal as they can be after the power outage. 2. It continues to be hot and humid here in northern Ohio...so its off to the beach later today. 3. My daughter is back in college (this is a good thing) and she is already sooooo broke. Don't suppose that it has anything to do with the little kitty that she spent $75 on do you?? 4. And did I mention that she is living off campus this year in an apartment?? Of course the landlord has a no pet policy and its a $250 fine if you are caught. 5. But who could refuse a sweet little kitty named Princess Isabella....not I....I would be paying the fine too. |
Schoolmarm | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 06:03 am     1. I'm home. FINALLY. 2. No airmail from Germany, no email. 3. NEVER fly Frontier/Great Lakes if you have to make a connection after! 4. I'm tired of running through airports. 5. LOL with Bobbie! Your daughter sounds like one of my neighbors...they are always trying to hide their pet cats from the landlords! 6. It is raining here today. |
Not1worry | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 02:21 pm     1. I'm glad everyone is home from their trips. 2. If Monkeyboy has lost his job, will he look for another job in the same ummm...industry, field, what's the right word? 3. I completely cleaned and rearranged my 5 yr. old daughter's room today, with her assistance. She's a packrat, but I'm quite proud of the pile she donated to Goodwill. The dustbunnies were rabid in there, I think. 4. I really have to get caller ID. No one calls me unless I'm busy.. 5. I get to buy a digital camcorder since hubby took our old-fashioned camcorder with him. At Walmart today, they only had about 3 out to look at, so I didn't get to play around with them. 6. I went to a homeschool support group meeting last night, and I left feeling not very supported. Not the group for me, I guess. 7. It has rained here every single day for as far back as I can think. I'm so sick of it and it's dreadfully humid. C'mon Fall! |
Twinkie | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 06:46 pm     1. Hubby and I just got home from 2 birthday parties for him. 2. The first one was at the home of a very long time friend of his. There were about 30 people there and we had a blast! 3. Lots of food, drink, and music. 4. We stayed there longer than we expected because it was so much fun. 5. By the time we got to his sister's house for the second party it was mostly over. But we had cake and a huge piece to bring home also and got a card with a check enclosed. 6. My gift to hubby was a small plaque of a lion's head done by the same artist that did our Knight of Avalon. 7. All in all it was a very good day. 8. A week from Tuesday hubby is doing a "test teach" for a job as a computer instructor that he has already had an interview for. Apparently they were impressed enough to ask him to do this. If he gets this job it will pay at least double what he is making now. <keeping fingers crossed> |
Redstar | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 02:41 pm     1. I spent the weekend at my brother's lake house. 2. I used sunscreen, but missed the spots right by my armpits in back, and therefore have a burn. 3. I also slipped climbing back into the boat after swimming and strained a bunch of back/shoulder/arm muscles. 4. It was wonderfully fun, however, and well worth the soreness and sunburn! 5. My four-year-old niece is very outgoing and says whatever is on her mind. 6. "Aunt Red," she said, "I like you because you're soft." (fat LOL) 7. I stayed up late with my nieces and told them stories about their Dad as a child. 8. We also told ghost stories. 9. I woke up in the middle of the night to discover both the four and nine-year-old nieces, as well as their cat, had climbed into bed with me, leaving me about six inches of mattress. |
Jbean | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 05:43 pm     1. i have had the most exhausting past couple of days, and had to start back to work today from vacation! 2. thursday went and partied with my friend for her birthday, and we both overdid it just a TAD. 3. then on friday afternoon we went to the state fair (both hungover) where we saw martina mcbride in concert...she was AWESOME. it's hard to believe such a powerful voice can come out of such a tiny woman! 4. she got 5 minutes of applause for the song "where would you be". wow, it was just awesome! 5. got home at around 1:15 sat. morning. 6. had to get up at 8:30 to hang out with my friend who is getting married on saturday. 7. went with her for her haircut, manicure, and then we went to a baby shower, then her bachelorette party, which ended up being much tamer than expected. 8. yesterday we went to my mom's for breakfast, then shopping for bridesmaid gifts, then to our "bridesmaid tea". 9. the lunch/tea was quite nice. i have never been to anything quite like it. 10. i am now worn out as all get out, but it was worth it! |
Bobbie_552001 | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 07:05 pm     1. And I'm glad that I only have to post one fact because reading about Jbean's weekend completely wore me out...you go girl!! |
Tater | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 10:21 pm     1. I think Redstar had a swell weekend!! 2. I got another chapter of my book done! Whooo Hooo |
Egbok | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 09:07 pm     <CyberG looks up and blows kisses to TaterTot> 1. Today I went to Curves and had a great workout...I feel myself getting stronger! 2. I had dinner at The Elephant Bar...first time there and it was super delicious!! 3. I missed Big Brother tonight so I'll be peeking in the BB threads tonight to see what happened. |
Sia | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 10:14 pm     1. I'm going through drawers, closets and totes of clothing to find things for the kids to wear to school--and it starts Monday!!! 2. I should have started this sooner, as my daughter has several sleeveless dresses that will fit perfectly (not reveal too much) if I just take them in a little under the arms. 3. DD is enrolled at a Christian preschool, and my son is starting to get excited about it, too. He attended Kindergarten at public school last year, but I'd like him to go to the Christian elementary this year, and he is attending Monday and Tuesday there as a guest. |
Resortgirl | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 04:50 am     1. I'm happy and sad that summer is almost over. 2. I am going away for a long weekend with my hubby to celebrate our 14th anniversary. 3. This will be the first time since May that we have been off the property together for longer than 5 hours. 4. We are going on an all expense paid vacation to Ixptapa in February and I'm REALLY looking forward to that!! |
