Vanillarose | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 06:34 am     Woohoo!!!! I'm sorry, I just couldn't contain myself!! Anyone else as excited as I am?

Gail | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 07:04 am     You betcha!! |
Djgirl5235 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 07:05 am     You can't even imagine!!! I'm busting knowing that we get a double-shot.... Survivor & BB!!!! Someone contain my excitement!!! |
Katlady53 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 08:40 am     Lol! I was thinking the same thing this morning! Isn't E.R.'s season premier tonight, too? |
Wargod | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 09:19 am     1. Set VCR to record Push, Nevada 2. Cook dinner at 4 pm BB time. 3. Bathe kids at 4:30 pm 4. Have kids in bed by 5pm 5. Get dishes done, lunches packed, laundry done, clothes out for tomorrow, homework packed for tomorrow, feed dogs and turtle, run to grocery store real quick. 5. Have kids in bed by 8pm 6. Get comfy in front of TV. Yep, I'm ready! I'm guessing 2-5 won't go as planned, but I'm gonna try! I am sooooo ready for Survivor! |
Scootersmom | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 09:23 am     I have to take a nap today! I am soooo looking forward to tonight!!! |
Fruitbat | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 09:33 am     *laughing* 2-4 looks like a stretch but I admire your effort. I am very excited. I have company for dinner. My husband invited them without checking with me, which is usually fine. There will be mandatory TV after dinner and everyone has to keep quiet. That is the worst when viewing these shows with non fans. They don't get it that you have to hear what they are saying. It is not a plot that you can catch. They are close friends and neighbors that know my obsession so it will be fine. I can yell at them, they will understand. |
Gail | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 10:16 am     As the day goes on, I am mentally counting off the minutes. I just came back from the dining hall and was thinking about TheOwl and wondering what the countdown is. I am going to leave work a little early so I can get something special for dinner tonight. |
Wargod | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 10:18 am     LOL Fruit. My hubby's a big Survivor fan, so at least I got that going.....he'll hopefully help to get stuff done, so we can watch in peace, LOL. If the company isn't quiet, you can threaten to vote them out of the house...might work, LOL. |
Katlady53 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 10:21 am     LOL at getting the kids to be by 5:00!!! |
Juju2bigdog | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 10:28 am     Living in Pacific time, I usually go to chat to catch the eastern and central showing of the episodes, as described by my dear, kind chat buddies, and then I watch the show later, knowing what is going to happen, which frees me up to observe other things about the show. Tonight I am scheming so that I can go to chat from 5-7 and catch the chat version of BB and Survivor, eat dinner at 7 and then watch the shows from 8-10. Yes, that will work. Looks like I have a five hour evening planned. |
Djgirl5235 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 10:32 am     I have to tell you guys what happened to me last night - you will totally understand: Okay, so I was trying to find the gas station that takes the only credit card that I own on the planet, since I had run out of money, (in the pocket and the bank) and payday wasn't until today... Well... I was BELOW empty, so I finally found the right station (just in time too!)and filled up my tank. Well, I still had laundry to do, and that takes about 2 - 21/2 hours at the laundromat, and it was already 5:30 when I got home. You know what I was thinking... "OH MY GOODNESS, BB is on early tonight and I HAVE to be home for it!!!". You should have seen me at 7:45 frantically folding up my last load of laundry and literally RUNNING them to my car in order to be home by 8:00 and unloaded from the car! I JUST made it! Now, this is my dilemma... I have to do the grocery shopping tonight after work, as well as find an outfit for a wedding we have to go to on Saturday... So help me, I'm getting Pizza Bagels, and other finger foods to throw in the oven when I get home so that I don't miss even a second of Survivor OR Big Brother... Then, it's CSI for me baby!!! |
Wargod | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 10:56 am     CSI.........OMG!!!!!!! I'll be in front of the TV all night!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hehehe, would also like to point out that besides the kids bedtime at 5, I also have it at 8, LOL. I'm at least realizstic.....but it would be nice if they went to bed early just for tonight!!! |
Mystery | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 11:04 am     Wargod, I loved your putting the kids to bed twice! I figured that in your schedule, you knew that they wouldn't want to be in bed by 5pm, so they'd get up and you'd have to put them down again at 8. |
Theowl | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 11:08 am     Hi Gail! Thanks for asking. The countdown for Survivor is posted. Also, the countdown for The Amazing Race 3 has started!! This is SOOO exciting!!  |
Fruitbat | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 11:09 am     Digirl, you going to cook? Pizza Spins and Bugles is plenty fancy. You will but us all to shame with this heating up business. Next you know you will have mothers all over this board doing it out of guilt. |
Wargod | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 11:14 am     Now,wait Fruitbat.....I am cooking out of guilt tonight, LOL. Last night I had this frozen lasagna I told hubby I would cook and have waiting. Because it was going to take almost 2 hours to cook, I made the kids sandwiches, gave them potato salad, and sliced a plum for them. And promptly forgot to cook the lasagna! By the time I remembered it, it was too late to cook. So, yep, cooking out of guilt tonight! LOL. |
Djgirl5235 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 11:21 am     I have to cook tonight - the problem is that I didn't do proper budgeting my last pay and we've been eating crackers & cheese for the past 3 or 4 days... it's been awful!!! We've been broke since Monday, so you can just imagine how much my fiance wants REAL food tonight!!!!! The only problem with cooking at our apartment right now, is the fact that our oven doesn't get hot enough, and so if I get a frozen pasta dish (say lasagna, or canneloni) it takes DOUBLE the time to cook it... so... if I get home at 7:00 from all the shopping I have to do, then we won't eat until at least 9:00... Screw cooking... I've just decided... It's pizza night for the two of us!!! I'll order & pay so long as HE answers the door!!! |
Djgirl5235 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 11:21 am     Fruitbat... what are Pizza Spins? |
Phrf | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 11:27 am     Hey Ya'll- It's been a while..... Looking forward to being here with ya'll tonite. Till then.....PEACE |
Fruitbat | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 11:34 am     Pizza Spins are or were, they may not be around anymore, horrible little round crackers that tasted like Pizza or claimed to. Well this boad is definately going to the dogs with all this warm food being served on Thursday nights. You will spoil your families and the next thing you know your children will be asking for protein. |
Djgirl5235 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 11:56 am     Oh Fruitbat... wait until you hear about NEXT Thursday!!!! I unfortunately do not have someone (other than this board) to share Big Brother with, but I DO have one of my best friends who is as into Survivor as we are!!! We get together every Thursday night at either her house, or mine, have a really nice dinner with wine and other libations, (My Amy-ism for the night), and then settle in to watch (and scream at) Survivor!!! Unfortunately, she's not available for tonight, so Pizza it will definitely have to be... BTW, we didn't have Pizza Spins per se in Ontario, but we did have crackers that were supposed to taste like Pizza - why mess with a good thing - Pizza, is pizza... nothing else!!!! |
Kstme | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 12:23 pm     Wargod and Fruit...you two have me in stitches! I can just imagine your dh's look when he realized you hadn't cooked the lasagna last night, War!...too funny! My dh is so well trained...LOL This morning as he left for work, his parting words were, "I'm on my own for dinner tonight and I "get" to feed the dogs?"  |
Fruitbat | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 12:41 pm     LOL! Kstme. what a good boy. OK really want to know what is going on here? My husband is making kale soup and a Thai dish with coconut rice. An apple pie just came out of the oven. <slinks away sheepishly> He just took up cooking 3 weeks ago and is even baking bread, he is obsessed. I will set the table though. AND I will pour the scotch. |
Tess | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 12:50 pm     Dinner? OMH! I was hoping to get away with hotdogs! DH is NOT into my shows but he is a dear because he is leaving work early so he can be home to keep an eye on our daughter while I race into chat to transcribe tonight's double header! Yay. They are even considerate enough to stay in another part of the house so I can hear the dialog. I guess the least I can do is feed them hotdogs first. |
Meme9 | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 12:59 pm     LOL! My husband thinks he always has to have meat and potatoes, so....Cheeseburgers and Chips(and I've got to really stress that chips are from potatoes).  |
Jkm | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 01:08 pm     We're picking Pizza up from soccer practice - homework should all be done {kids have tests this week - ISTEP and NWA). All that's left is desperately needed laundry at commericial breaks..... Survivor, BB, CSI -- ahhhh, (Kids sent to room for bed after survivor, (bet they'll sneak on the stairs and peek at BB)) Hubby is happy with Pizza as long as I bring home breadsticks too! |
Tess | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 01:16 pm     Is the premier of CSI on tonight, too? aaaack! I mean Yay! Is it? |
Mystery | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 01:18 pm     Wargod, kudos on ensuring that your children will know what a plum is. |
Weinermr | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 01:21 pm     Tess, I think CSI is a repeat tonight. |
Webkitty | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 02:19 pm     Whew! I am here! I've been soooo busy this week! How is everyone?? I have to tape Survivor and BB for my husband and we only have one vcr, so I've put in a call to my parents to tape PUSH for me. I saw the first episode and loved it so I don't want to miss tonight. {{Mom and Dad}} I have dinner in the oven and will eat while I'm posting here. Hubby has school Thursday night so I'm left to my own devices. I can scream and yell at the tv, and the cats always seem to know Thursday is a "special" night. They get frisky and run around the house with tails bushy and scamper sideways. Tomorrow I'm back to being busy for the rest of the week, but for the next 5 hours I'm hanging out here, I miss you all! (now to go roam around the board to see what I've missed....) |
Alegria | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 03:48 pm     I have to go out tonight and have arranged with two different friends to tape the shows (just in case my vcr lets me down). If all goes well, I'll have two extra tapes to share |
