Kaili | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 08:34 am     1. Reader...go to the Campmor website and check out their footwear section. I got a pair of Sorrels last year for $30 on the web bargains section. I got a really warm jacket from there too on clearance. I got mine at Gander Mountain, but they're cheaper on there- I just looked. I got the Columbia Cascadian Insulated Winter boots- they're selling them for $49.98. The Sorels I have are the Snowlion Winter Boots. Campmor 2. I just got my oil changed and the guy said I have a cracked CV boot but they don't replace them alone so I have to get a new axle for $220. I've had them replaced alone before. 3. Car-X always comes up with extra stuff I need to repair. They told me about a year ago that I have an oil leak and I've yet to see a drip under my car. But they do cheap oil changes... 4. I'm making cookies this weekend. The recipe I have is soooo good! I don't know why I don't make cookies more often- it's really pretty fast and easy. 5. My betta died. Have I mentioned that already? I saw in Tess's updates that others have had bettas die recently. His name was Betta-Max like the old VCRs. Poor little guy. He was a red one. He got some fungus- I think it was velvet- and I just couldn't cure him in time. |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 08:52 am     Reader, I went over to ebay to see if I could find you a pair of Ugg boots cheaper. This is just nuts. There is one size 7 pair over there with an opening bid at $439 and a size 9 at $365. Auction ended while I was typing. The 9 went for $390. Hey, if you can get some for $100, you can make a quick tidy profit. Uhhhhh, better do some numbers here. 1. I hope Tess's Sarah's goldfish named Juju is still alive. 2. The neighbors were supposed to come home from from Hawaii late last night, spend the night in Seattle, and be home by noon. I knew they would be home by 8. Bigdog just reported he just got off the phone with them. They got "heading for the barn syndrome" and were home at 1 a.m. 3. Goal today is to open up the Christmas cards I wrote in September and amend them to say we are no longer in Cyprus. 4. Ths stack of unattended-to mail is getting smaller. I open a couple pieces a day. 5. I am still not unpacked, but it has been less than a week. 6. I thought last night's Survivor show was very satisfying. |
Reader234 | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 09:18 am     (I just checked juju, Ithought the were the special Oprah blue and pink boots, but I found a pair for $100!! WAY COOL!!) |
Urgrace | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 09:23 am     1. I knew there was someone here that said they lost their red betta, too. So sorry Kaili. My red betta was the 'friendly' one. His cohort in the adjacent bowl misses him. 2. Half of the leaves on the trees fell on the ground this morning 3. That's because it's raining 4. Yayyyyyyyy 5. My lawn and the plants I had taken back out of the garage are getting a much needed natural watering 6. Talked to (#1) son in Hawaii last night 7. He and roommates are not putting up a tree this year |
Froggiegirl621 | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 09:41 am     1. Yesterday was a very productive day for me. 2. After work I went shopping and now have 85% of my Christmas shopping done! 3. I keep thinking "I'm almost done", then remember that I STILL need to buy for this person, and that person... 4. I'm off today and I wish I could just stay home and relax but I promised my mom I would take her shopping later this afternoon. 5. My sister found out we were going, and now she wants to go too. 6. The store we're going to is an hour away...she's bringing my 8 mth. old nephew along, so I hope this isn't the ride from hell! 7. I am going to be one busy girl for the next week! 8. Between work, last minute shopping, work Christmas get-togethers, a hair appointment, baking, and wrapping I'm going to be worn out! And they're calling for snow two days next week... |
Jewels | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 10:44 am     1. Toady is my daughter's first birthday. 2. A year ago right now I was screaming for an epidural and couldn't have it yet. 3. Ahhh, such memories. 4. It doesn't seem like it is her birthday because we are celebrating it tomorrow. 5. My mom and dad have been vacationing in Hawaii, they are flying here tonight and staying until Sunday and then flying home. 6. My sister called me last night and her boyfriend's cancer is back. It doesn't look good. He has colon cancer. 7. I feel bad for her, a little over a year ago her boyfriend at the time died in a fire. 8. She isn't the most mentally stable person anyway so I am afreaid about how she is going to handle this. 9. On a happier note, I hope everyone has a great weekend!  |
Not1worry | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 10:46 am     1. What a crazy morning. DH called at 5 a.m. to say our assignment to FL might go up in smoke due to the current state of army stop-loss. (Means no one reassigns anywhere, but sometimes there's loopholes) 2. I was very calm about it and told him if we were meant to go to FL, we'd go. If it's not meant to be, then we won't go. 3. When I tried to go back to sleep, my mind started spinning. What if we don't move?? Should I go ahead and get the new bedroom curtains that I was figuring should wait for a new house?? What if we get a different assignment someplace terrible? 4. Then at 6 a.m. right when I went back to sleep, he called again just because the phone was available. 5. After doing some online checking, it looks as though our assignment has only been deferred for 30 days. We hope. Hard to tell. DH called me at noon so I could get him some phone number of the people that make decisions in DC. I hate not knowing what's going to happen. 6. This also means he won't be home as soon as I'd hoped. Sigh..... 7. The visit with my dad was pretty good. He said a few disturbing things, but overall it was good. And he took my brother's Christmas present with him to deliver it. There's at least one package I don't have to ship. 8. I can't wait to watch my Survivor tape. 9. I'm excited for Twinkie's new place. It's going to be great! Just don't put any feathers on the walls. |
Sage | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 11:10 am     1. I guess since Jewels and Not1 did 9 I can do 10! 2. Lastnight, I splurged and went and got my hair professionaly colored. 3. Tomorrow night I have a BIG date with Larry. 4. It's his father's girlfriend's birthday. 5. We are going out with them and another couple for dinner at a nice restaurant in a limousine and will look at christmas lights while sipping champagne on our way there. 6. This will be my first limousine ride, and to drink champagne. 7. Larry is a nice guy and a good friend, but part of me wishes it was with someone I loved. 8. I'm sure he wishes the same thing too. 9. He took me shopping this week for a nice outfit to wear for the occasion. 10. Amazingly, the slacks I got were a size 12! I haven't put on that small of a size in 20+ years! |
Spygirl | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 11:20 am     1. I'm trying really hard not to get my hopes up again, but we're forecasted to get SIX INCHES of snow!!! Yipeeee!!! 2. It is supposed to start snowing in the next couple of hours and snow until tomorrow morning. 3. I have three more new Mary Kay customers!! Email me if you want to browse my Mary Kay site 4. Christmas shopping must be finished this weekend. 5. I go to Texas for Christmas next Saturday. 6. Last night's Survivor was the most satisfying episode I've ever watched. I cheered out loud in my house alone - it was so gratifying. 7. Tonight is the Christmas party for the graduate school faculty and staff. I haven't gotten a response to my email yet, but I hope we get to dress up! 8. I'm in my office trying to think of all the things I need to accomplish this weekend. 9. Unfortunately, all I can think about is the snow and taking a nap. 10. Ack! I just realized Sage beat me to 10, so I just did 10 for no reason! LOL Hi Sage!!! |
Egbok | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 11:34 am     1. Hi Spy! I, too, cheered out loud in my house alone for the outcome of Survivor last night. |
Wargod | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 11:45 am     1. Jewels are you sure that baby's 1????? It seems like just the other day we were congratulation you on her birth! Happy Happy Birthday to her!! 2. Spy is actually looking forward to snow...must be an illness. |
Twinkie | Friday, December 12, 2003 - 04:40 pm     1. LOL Not1! Feathers and walls do not belong in the same sentence! 2. Ditto Spy and Eggie. I danced around my room watching Survivor. 3. I'm thinking about a buttercream faux finish on the walls and white trim. |
Schoolmarm | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 02:03 am     1. I am up and watching "Deutsche Welle," the German station. It is on our Pennsylvania Cable Network from 2-6 every morning. Half of it is in English and the other half is in German. I'm trying to get better at German, but it is also interesting to see their perspective on American issues. 2. Well, the semester is over except for the grading. I am down to one flight bag to grade. BLECH. I wish I could teach without grading PAPERS. I am much more of an authentic assessment person....they have to teach, and come in and play the recorder or sing, things like that. Did I mention that I HATE grading papers? (Probably because the quality of work is NOT where it needs to be!) 3. Two recitals down, two to go! The big one is on Sunday, and I keep forgetting that I'm doing it....planning on practicing most of the day today, along with getting a haircut and marching in commencement. 4. I'm on a job quest again this year. See my folder for details. |
Kaili | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 06:09 am     1. I had a horrible nights sleep last night- something is wrong with some car outside and the horn was blaring non-stop all night. Just imagine someone being parked outside your home and leaning on the horn. First it went from 10:30- 12:00 and it stopped. I was happy. Don't know what happened but I was happy. Then at 3 am it started up again and just stopped about 15 minutes ago (at 7:45 am). 2. I slept with earplugs in last night. I hate earplugs. I find them very uncomfortable. 3. I'm sooo glad it's the weekend and I have nothing that I have to do. It's been a long, ehausting week! 4. Another cold day here and my drivers side door lock on my car is still going to be frozen. I can leave the door unlocked, or crawl across and open the door from the passenger side. Option 1 is okay sometimes at some places and depending what I have in my car at the time; Option 2 isn't that big of a deal except I forget about the frozen lock everytime then it's just annoying. 5. Coffee. I need coffee. I just wok up a few minutes ago. Then I'm going to run to the store and buy eggs and oatmeal for my cookies. I think I have everything else I need. |
Kaili | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 06:23 am     **I take it back- the horn is still going but it just sounds like a buzzing now. Maybe I'm getting used to it. I think the horn might be dying. I hope, I hope, I hope! I wanted that thing towed away last night! Where are the owners of that car!!?!** |
Jbean | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 09:05 am     spy, you should come here....it is SNOWING....AGAIN! a lot of it. i am SICK of snow. ruins my weekend because it's dangerous to drive in! 1. OMG, my friend and i had a BLAST last night at the buddy jewell concert. when we were walking from the car to the building, he was walking toward his bus from the building. my friend saw him (i, as usually was talking about something and didn't even see him), then she said "hey buddy will you sign these for me?"....2 cd covers one is hers one is her dad's for christmas. 2. he talked to us for a little while, we introduced ourselves and he gave us hugs! 3. before the concert, the radio station was throwing out free t-shirts, and i caught one. 4. when we left, we waited in line to talk to him again, we got some pics of the 3 of us together, and he signed my t-shirt. he is such a nice guy. i didn't watch nashville star, because i don't have cable, but from meeting him, i am glad that he won. 5. amazingly, the snow had only just started when we left, so we were both able to get home safely. 6. maybe today i will clean and put up the christmas tree since i am basically trapped here. freakin' snow....blech! |
Kady | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 09:39 am     1. Jbean...you always manage to have so much fun. I'm jealous!! 2. Buddy Jewell was great in Nashville Star. I can record the next one and send you the tapes if you would like. 3. I am jealous of Spy and the snow. We hardly ever get snow here as she well knows. 4. Best of luck to Marm and her job hunt. 5. I slept really late...till 10:30. I am a lazy bum. 6. Azriel came over yesterday. We watched about half of Joe Schmo that I had recorded for her. I think she liked it. 7. My son and I are going to the mall afterwhile with Azriel, Apriljo and her other daughter who is not a member here. Maybe something exciting will happen while we are out that I can write about later. |
Spygirl | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 09:42 am     1. EIGHT INCHES of SNOW!! Yippee!!! 2. Bad thing is that I'm completely unprepared for it. 3. I have no heavy coat, though I found my ski gloves, so I really can't go out and play in it. 4. I have no snow shovel, so I'm trapped at home today. LOL 5. Guess I'll be enjoying the television and working on my last week of class. 6. Christmas shopping was on the agenda...oh well! 7. I was in bed by 9:30 last night. I did wake up about 2am, but went back to bed just after 3am and slept until 8:45!! 8. Hi Kady and Jbean! |
Tater | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 10:12 am     1.We have snow and I abhor snow now. 2.Got my new brace. Yippe! It doesn’t come up as high as the other one. This one’s only to my mid calf. 3.Now I have to buy two different size shoes. Size 10 for the right and 9 for the left. 4.Which will leave a pair of odd size shoes. Does anybody know where I can donate my odd pair? 5.Got an email from an old BF today. He had just found out my accident and wanted to see where I disappeared. 6.He is going to be in St. Louis for the Holidays and plans on driving down. My heart is all sappy now! 7.However, I will be a mess from my elbow surgery (Dec 23rd) and am not sure I want to see him in such a state. 8.But, it sure would be nice to see an old friend right about now! 9.I’m glad Spy likes the snow so much! Someone hast too! |
Jbean | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 10:32 am     hi back, spy! kady, that is a very nice offer about nashville star. i think i will make my friend do it for me, since she owes me BID TIME for my radio singing gig getting us in for free (and having the entire sales department at work listen to it at her desk!) lol, i guess it was all worth the humiliation in the end. |
Jmm | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 12:42 pm     Tater, Check this out for those odd shoes: http://www.nationaloddshoeexchange.org/ |
Hippyt | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 01:29 pm     Acccckkk,ten? I'll try.... 1) Just got back from Holiday shopping,it's a jungle out there! I'm really hating I didn't do my shopping online again this year. 2)8 inches of snow????? Me think luvvvvvvv has driven Spy a little loopy! 3)I have about a million things to do before "Santa" comes to the house tomorrow night. 4)How Santa managed to wiggle into my house on Survivor finale night is not a happy subject. 5)My hubby sang on the radio once. He was supposed to imitate Elvis. He didn't win anything,and they laughed at him! 6)I hate to be the holiday Grinch,but I wish this whole thing was over. 7)I really hope Moonie finds her Shiloh. 8)I have to go babysit my own kids at my MIL's house tonight. Have I mentioned she's crazy and she always gets her way? arrrrgh 9)A man who works for my husband is missing right now,he left work last night and hasn't been seen since. We're all hoping he's ok. 10)It's cold and windy here,yeah I know,I'm a wimp.That's why I live about as far south as you can get in the US. |
Tater | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 02:23 pm     Thanks Jmm I knew somebody around here would have the answer!!! |
Urgrace | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 05:35 pm     1. Everyone needs to shame... uh, talk Juju into doing Tess' Tales tonight so Tess can visit with her sister from out of state and not worry about it getting done. Come on Juju. Say yes. |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, December 13, 2003 - 07:10 pm     Yes. ... doing it now. |
