Cyn | Friday, December 27, 2002 - 08:06 am     1. I have one of the most well paying pieces of work that I have ever completed due by noon. 2. I have already attached it and I have to hit send. 3. It is so boring. 4. It is so interesting. 5. I love sociology of all sorts. 6. I recommend that everyone be depromoted to telecommuting at least three days a week, because it saves tons of money in car transport and meals alone. 7. I believe telecommuting improves the quality of Society. 8. I do not believe that it alienates people from the world at large or that it will damage the economy. 9. I believe it strengthens the world at large by having more time to give to ones own Family and interests; but will agree that the types of goods being purchased daily will be rearranged. 10. I am still in my jammies. 11. I am drinking incredible kona coffee. 12. I have a puppy head attached to my foot. 13. I have to send an email now. |
Weenerlobo | Friday, December 27, 2002 - 09:30 am     1. I am the only one at work today. 2. I love that fact. 3. I'm only working 1/2 a day. 4. I scored tickets for the final Lions' game this Sunday and am going with d.h. and two good friends. 5. I know the Lions stink, but I'm a fan, nonetheless. 6. And No. 5 has nothing to do with Joey Harrington. 7. I got car mats with flames on 'em for Christmas. 8. They match the flames on the hood of my car. 9. And the flames on the dice hanging from my mirror. 10. My dog's stomache was making such weird sounds this morning that I considered that he might have finally caught a cat and ate him. 11. Then I realized that my dog would never be swift enough to catch a cat. 12. And never mean enough to eat one either. 13. I think my arm muscles have atrophied from spending yesterday on the couch. 14. I loved reading Jbean's No. 11 - just got to the same place myself this year, Bean. It's kinda nice here, ain't it? |
Squaredsc | Friday, December 27, 2002 - 10:22 am     1. (((Lyn))) hope you feel better. 2. this is my 2nd day off from work. 3. usually i don't take any time off during the holidays 'cause its a time that i can get things done at work 'cause noone's there to bother you. 4. but since i now have nothing to do on a regular day i would have really been bored out of my mind if i went to work during the holiday season. 5. my oldest son asked what i wanted for my birthday and i said to be left alone. and i meant it. 6. for some reason my d.s.' can't find their toothbrushes today. 7. they didn't have them yesterday either. 8. i sometimes wonder where they came from. 9. im heating up some of d.h.'s gumbo for us for lunch. 10. i didn't wake up till 11:35 this morning. 11. at 7:00 someone's car horn went off, it woke me up and drove me insane but it finally stopped after 15 minutes. 12. it took me a bit to go back to sleep. 13. i have decided to change the wall color in my living room. 14. its dark green now with a light green carpet. im thinking of a lite peach. 15. i plan on getting into some home decorating next year. thats my resolution. afterall i watch all of the decorating shows so i should have learned something, right? |
Squaredsc | Friday, December 27, 2002 - 10:22 am     15 1/2. i also read every post in this thread. |
Schoolmarm | Friday, December 27, 2002 - 10:49 am     1. HEY! I'm still in my jammies! 2. I am also at my parents' home in Illinois 3. Thought that I wouldn't get here...left at 8:30 pm on Christmas Eve and drove through a hideous snow storm. 4. The interstates in Ohio AND Indiana were 100% snow and ice covered...you had to guess WHERE the road was! 5. I am thankful for those bumpy edges they put on the shoulders of the roads. 6. My folks had 6-8 inches of snow and I almost had to park my car at the road and walk 1/4 mile up the hill to their house. 7. FINALLY Dad and I got the car by the garage. And it will sit there until I leave on Sunday. 8. I only had to have two naps on the drive over. One North of Columbus Ohio because the road was so hideous. The other East of Indianapolis , well, because the road was so hideous. 9. I waved at Goddessatlaw as I drove past Indy! 10. We were supposed to have ham for Christmas dinner, but my Mom STILL can't seem to get a meal all ready at the same time. The ham wasn't precooked and it wasn't even CLOSE to being done when we were famished. We had pizza instead. 11. The ham was delicious the next evening for supper. 12. I got the two Harry Potter books I was missing for Christmas...I've already read both of them. 13. It's been great resting and relaxing and playing with my niece and nephews. 14. My Christmas Eve service was incredible! The choir rocked! The instrumentalists were great. The vocal soloist was super! WHEW~ 15. Everyone liked their presents this year...the giving and the receiving. 16. It felt strange not having Survivor and Amazing Race on this week! |
Urgrace | Friday, December 27, 2002 - 12:22 pm     Thanks Lyn! (urgrace is no longer wearing her jammies, but can see schoolmarm all cozied in hers while she was reading her new books) |
Not1worry | Friday, December 27, 2002 - 01:30 pm     1. I am glad SchoolMarm had a safe trip! 2. I do not know how to drive in winter weather at all. 3. I am glad to be home after visiting 9 days with mom and step-dad and granddad and great-aunt. 4. I just finished taking the tree down. 5. Had to come down so I could move the entertainment center. 6. Must move center to try and hook up the DVD player Dad got me. 7. Not that I have any DVDs to play on it. 8. The children seem to think that because we now have a DVD player we are going to run out and buy lots of DVDs. 9. I just realized this means another remote to keep up with. 10. I got the greatest gift from my husband who called to say he'll be home from Stan a week early. 11. He NEVER gets to come home early. 12. This also means that I have a week less to prepare for his homecoming. 13. I don't care, I am thrilled. 14. The last few days I will be a nervous wreck. 15. It feels like he left 10 years ago. 16. I am now done telling everyone about my husband. 17. My 6 yr. locked himself to the railing with his new bike lock. |
Pamy | Friday, December 27, 2002 - 01:51 pm     1. After reading Moon's facts above I bet she is very popular with the boys!! 2. I am just kidding LOL 3. My DH wishes I could do those things! 4. For CHristmas I got the diamond ring I have wanted for the last 2 yrs! 5. Is it considered rude to tell the carats? 6. If so I will give a hint between 1 and 3! 7. I have had the flu since 12-22 8. I have used all my sick and vacation time at work with this flu! 9. I am happy Not1worry's DH gets to come home early 10. I know how she feels, excited, and a nervous wreck getting everything perfect before the homecomming 11. The last 2 deployments my DH had he surprised me and came home 1 week early 12. The last time he did it, he snuck in the house and walked into my son's room where we were reading 13. He scared me to death 14. I am still in my jammies, have been for most of the last week! 15. My 7yr old son told me he was too old say pee-pee and his friend told him their was another word for it 16. My son told me he would now call it a 'deck'!! 17. Not thinking who I was talking to I said, you mean 'dick'? LOL 18. The friend my son heard the word from has a heavy accent so to him it sounded like deck! LOL |
Squaredsc | Friday, December 27, 2002 - 03:10 pm     lol pamy, deck. |
Mygetaway | Friday, December 27, 2002 - 03:47 pm     (Where I come from, we count to 18, and then start over again at 1...LOL Anybody else?? Just Kidding.. ) |
Lobster | Friday, December 27, 2002 - 07:36 pm     1. I had a good Christmas. 2. As annoying as my oldest brother can be, I have thoroughly enjoyed his visit. 3. It had been two or three years since I had seen them. 4. I am the youngest of 20 grandchildren on my mother's side. 5. I'm the second youngest of 19 on my father's side. 6. I have a lot of cousins who are old enough to be my parents. 7. I got a Kitchenaid mixer for Christmas. 8. I've wanted one for a really long time. 9. I have no plans for New Year's Eve and I don't mind one bit. 10. My new year's resolution is to find a new job. 11. I have the next two days off and I'm very happy about that. 12. I almost didn't make it to work on time yesterday cuz of the snow. 13. Unfortunately, I did make it to work on time in spite of the snow. LOL 14. I was alone in the store for an hour and a half cuz the other person who was supposed to be there had to dig out his plowed in driveway. 15. I've read every post in this thread. 16. I wish I could spell my name backwards like Bob does. 17. I'm looking forward to the Iron Chef marathon on New Year's Day. 18. I'm very cold and should get up and turn the heat up, but I'm too cheap. 19. I don't pay for heat. Mom and Dad pay the heat. and because I'm usually too late, I'll add another 20. My brother and SIL are leaving for NC at 3:30am Sunday morning, and Mom and Dad are leaving on Wednesday for Florida. |
Mygetaway | Friday, December 27, 2002 - 09:51 pm     1. Woo-hoo.. I know this sounds really bad, but I just got rid of the step-kids for 6 whole days!! (They've been especially naughty to me lately.. and they are old enough to know better. They forget that I was there for them when "MOM" wasn't..but I digress..) |
Mygetaway | Friday, December 27, 2002 - 10:27 pm     1. Now I'm feeling guilty about what I posted above, but can't edit it. 2. Anyone who has {multiple} teens will hopefully know why I might need a "vacation" from them from time to time. |
Jmm | Friday, December 27, 2002 - 10:37 pm     No explanation or guilt necessary, we do understand. (((((Hugs))))) |
Lyn | Friday, December 27, 2002 - 10:55 pm     Mygetaway, the stepkids may not appreciate what you've done for them now, but one day when they're older they will. ~ From one Stepmom to another |
Resortgirl | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 05:17 am     Mygetaway, don't feel guilty! I'm happy when my "real" kids are gone for a while!!! 1. I'm going to My hubbys familie house for Christmas, I'm practicing calling him "Mike" 2. I'm not going to cry, no matter what happens! 3.I have to race home Sunday, clean house, for the umpteenth time this week, make a bunch of food, and have a party on Tuesday! Whew! |
Christina | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 05:31 am     1.I went to "Michaels" family for a xmas day visit. 2.I waited till I was in the car going home to cry. 3.I vowed to myself that I would not cry, no matter what happens. 4.Nothing really happened but I cried anyway. I am so sensitive!! |
Resortgirl | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 05:40 am     {{{{ christina }}}} We are two peas in a pod aren't we? |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 05:47 am     Hey, Christina, at least his last name is not Hunt. Mygetaway, I have frequently marveled at the miracle that almost always happens: if you just wait long enough, one day those alien teenagers from hell miraculously transform back into real people! |
Wargod | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 11:21 am     1. I kept my neice last night and will have her most of the day. 2. My sister will keep my kids til tomorrow afternoon. 3. I truly believe that a vacation away from the kids helps you to be a better parent, by reminding you what you have and allowing you to get a little rest to rejuvenate yourself and get you ready to deal with all the kid problems that will pop up! 4. I got the kids dressed warm, and sent them out back to play for awhile...they need to run off some energy. 5. Because their playing outside, I'm getting to listen to my new cd's for the first time since I got them on Christmas. |
Mygetaway | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 11:59 am     Thanks Everybody, I feel better now. Some days are just harder than others. {{Hugs back to all}} {{Resortgirl}} and {{Christina}}.. Sorry about your in law problems. War.. How did Dakota like the furniture? Did you post about it anywhere? |
Pamy | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 12:19 pm     1.I am happy Mygetaway will get a little break 2.I agree with Resortgirl, I am happy to get a break from my own kid once in awhile 3. He went to his friends house for the weekend 4. So Dh and I can have our monthly honeymoon 5. I also agree it makes us better parents when we get a break from the kids 6.I know by the time my son comes home Monday I will be missing him and ready for his return |
Kady | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 12:40 pm     1. My hubby and son has left for a few hours. 2. When they announced we are leaving now...I danced the dance of joy in front of them. 3. They know I need my "me" time. 4. Sometimes I'm more glad to get rid of hubby for awhile. 5. It drives him crazy that I can sit around all day in my pj's and do nothing. 6. I miss my son when he his across the street staying with his friend!! 7. That is why we usually invite his friend over here to stay. I think his mommy and daddy enjoy their time together and let him stay over here quite often. |
Ladytex | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 12:53 pm     1. My three teenagers have been especially nice this holiday 2. I had a wonderful Christmas, got what I wanted for a change 3. I took a "me" day off of work the Wednesday before the kids got off for the holiday 4. I went on a baking spree yesterday (yes a couple of days late) 5. I just now changed outta my pj's cuz I was chilly 6. found out TODAY that my oldest got a speeding ticket in my car about three months ago and is gone to defensive driving until later this afternoon 7. the chocolate cake is already almost gone, so will probably have to bake another one tomorrow or Monday. 8. I really love having a house full of teenagers (usually) |
Bob2112 | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 01:08 pm     Just thought I'd take the 1000th post. Please continue. |
