Not1worry | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 11:54 am     1. I really admire all those who have lost so much weight! I'm always trying. 2. I decided that I will at least try and drink lots more water. 3. I have a friend who lost about 35 lbs. while her husband was deployed and she looks fabulous. And she has 5 kids and homeschools. 4. She makes me feel like a slug, LOL. 5. Bought more candles and flashlights today for Isabel. Hoping, hoping, hoping it will slow down and be merciful to us East coasters. 6. I was up till 1 a.m. last night playing those stupid games on Orisinal that somebody posted in the General Discussions thread. I couldn't believe I played so long, it felt like only about 20 minutes. |
Mygetaway | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 02:21 pm     1. We have unexpected houseguests for awhile. A friend of ours, and her 3 kids need a place to stay for a couple weeks. 2. These are the 3 kids we babysat for about 2 years ago.. I really love them, but it's hard getting used to having small kids in the house again. 3. They are almost 5, 8 and 10. We have nothing for them to do, and it's been fun trying to keep them occupied so far. 4. I am so used to being "alone" in my room that it is hard having "company" again. 5. I hope this goes fast.. nothing against them or anything.. 6. StepD dropped the bomb on us on Sunday that she was moving in with her Mom. Dad told her to go ahead. (Lot more to the story, but don't want to bore ya..) Now she's lost her room because her brother moved in the minute she left. (he had a smaller downstairs bedroom..) 7. I am really glad that I am no longer 16. She's going from having her own room to sharing with her 15 year old sis again. I give it 2 weeks. Oh well... |
Froggiegirl621 | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 07:23 pm     1. After what seemed like forever, we finally closed on our house on Friday! 2. It was an exciting day, it feels so good to have a home of our own. 3. It has been a BLAST picking out paint colors for the living room and three bedrooms. 4. Doing the actual painting, however, hasn't been such a blast. 5. We originally only planned to paint two bedrooms...now we're deep into a bunch of projects. 6. The one bedroom had painted over wallpaper on the walls - about eight layers thick!!! It'll take forever to get it all off! 7. Our bedroom is pretty much done except for refinishing the floors, that's next weekend's project for the BF, lol! 8. It's been an exhausting 4 days and can't wait for it to be done...it's gonna look AWESOME! |
Twinkie | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 07:35 pm     1. Tonight DH and I made ourselves go out to dinner and Barnes and Noble. We didn't buy anything at the bookstore. 2. We couldn't sit around in this house all day and night crying. We had to get out. 3. Today hubby went to the bankruptcy attorney whom we have already paid $500. 4. He said there is NO way to save our home. 5. There is a foreclosure sale set for Oct. 2. 6. This is killing both of us. We had hoped to live here the rest of our lives in our dream home. 7. I want to publicly thank Lori for being home today to give me a much needed shoulder to cry on while hubby was downstairs with a friend of his who just stopped by 15 minutes after he gave me the news of the foreclosure sale. Thank you Lori, sweetie! 8. Lori also encouraged me to post about this instead of going into my shell like I usually do with bad news. 8.5 Only schoolmarm and Bob2112, who have both been to our house, can truly appreciate what a daunting task moving the contents of this house is going to be. |
Egbok | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 07:44 pm     Oh Twinkie, I'm so sorry to hear your devastating news! My thoughts are with you and dh as you sort through the emotions of this news. Take care. ((((((Twinkie & DH)))))) |

Ddr1135 | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 04:51 am     Twinkie, thoughts and prayers are with you. I think I remember a picture of your house that you had posted. |

Whit4you | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 07:08 pm     I'm really sorry to hear that Twinky. Don't understand it though - I guess the laws are different where you are - here in Wa state you don't lose your house when filing bankruptcy. I hope you've consulted more than one lawyer on this. I have to assume you've already tried everything possible - so I won't offer any suggestions. Wish I could help though. Sigh. |
Schoolmarm | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 11:08 pm     1. Ok, I'll do nine....it's 2:30 am and I just got done taking the trash out. 2. Twinkie and Mr. Twinkie will have lots of packing to do. 3. Marm would want to go to Twinkie's garage sale, if she has one! 4. I had some flu-like virus last week and was down for the count. 5. We had a folk festival on campus this weekend and had people from all over the eastern seaboard and Great Lakes. 6. I really want to learn how to do Appalachian clogging. We had an awesome clogger at the festival. He must have been about 70 years old, but man, could those feet move. 7. My music fraternity has been doing rush activities all week, so there is junk food around. I am still down 11 pounds! Last night was "tropical get away" and it was lots of fun. 8. We are having an Autumn Leaf Festival the last week of September/first week of October. I am having visitors from Norway, and I invite anyone from the board to come and visit my quaint little town. I hope that the leaves will have turned! 9. I cleaned off most of my desk yesterday. This is the first time in about a year that I have seen the bottom of the desk. It is nice to have a work area, but I'm sure that it will get piled high with more papers soon! Gotta get a system to handle the paperwork so it doesn't pile up. |
Bobbie_552001 | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 03:18 am     1. I have the day off!! My sister and her family are here from NJ and we are going to play!! |
Not1worry | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 07:02 am     1. It's such gorgeous weather today! Hard to believe the hurricane will hit us in the next 24 hrs. 2. I took clogging lessons for a few years when I was a kid. We performed at fairs and pig pickin's. I can still do a little. It's really good exercise. |
Sage | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 07:41 am     1. I was happy to learn today that Auntiemike lives in the same town as me and Lance! 2. We are getting our new computer this week! Yay! 3. I got sick with another UTI this week. Its the 3rd one in 10 weeks. (I have a medical condition that I need corrective surgery for that I belive is causing this problem. I see my gynecologist next Thursday for a consultation. The sad thing is, I had this surgery only 2 years ago, and it didn't hold, so I need it again. Sigh!) |
Sia | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 09:58 pm     Twinkie, I'm really sorry to hear that you'll have to move from your dream home. I hope some day to have a dream home, too, so I know it must be heartbreaking to think of leaving it. Hugs and prayers for you and your husband. 1. I'm still in lots of pain with my knee/leg. 2. My mom helped me this afternoon and evening by running the sweeper while I helped my kids with their homework. 3. She brought me a huge wedge-shaped pillow with which to elevate my leg; it looks really comfy, so I can't wait to try it! |
Sage | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 05:32 am     1. Auntiemike and I are going to meet this morning at Barnes and Noble! 2. I'm hoping that Sia gets to feeling better soon and that her knee/leg heals real fast. 3. It seems like I'm making little progress in my packing and sorting of all my stuff. 4. I'm happy that I have an hair appointment today - I need it! |
Twinkie | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 05:45 am     1. I'm so happy I woke up to David Bowie singing this morning on NBC. 2. I wish I had gotten more than 2 hours of sleep. 3. I want to thank everyone here at this wonderful place for all of your love and support. 4. I love you all and you make my life so much easier to go through. 5. I wish for everyone here a good life. It may not always be easy but it can always be good. Love makes the world go round. |
Wargod | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 10:02 am     1. I'm happy Twinks is happy! 2. Parent teacher conferences were yesterday. Went to Dakota's alone since Darren couldn't get off work early. She's right where she should be developmentally and educationally. Nothing to worry about, though we will be working more on some things the next few months. Her teacher told me she was a delightful child and she was enjoying her. Also said she was one of the most well behaved children in class. 3. Caleb is doing well also. Math, reading, and spelling are all above grade level. Reading comprehension is average for his age, and well, he learns weird, lol. He picks up the difficult things easily for the most part, has some trouble with easy stuff. His teacher thinks, and we agree, that he's always in a hurry, and once we get him to slow down he does well. We have the usual concerns with him...talking out in class, and his vision. I am once again waiting on an eye doctor appointment. 4. We have also started working with Caleb at home on his printing. His teacher has added practice to his homework. We're starting out with his name and the alphabet, and only doing it until he gets tired and sloppy, then we stop. Once again, I think half of it is he's always in such a hurry to get done that he's not neat. 5. My neice is spending the next two days with me. She's been so excited she's driving her mommy crazy. 6. She will also be staying with me while her sister is born. Right now the plan is her staying while mom is in the hospital, and the night or two after mom and baby come home. She'll be spending the days at home, nights here, and I plan to spoil her rotten. |
