Hardy har har! :thumbdown:

Good Eve, Girlies~~ Got lots done today... plans made... happiness spread... a good day! :biggrin: Make it a good night! ~~M

Ugh -- fills! Sore subject. The .5cc I got last week help a teeny tiny bit, but I can STILL eat ANYthing... slowly, and a bit less than 2 weeks ago... but really, 3/4 of a gyro + fries? That should *not* go down! No pb'ing. No fuss no muss. Ugh.

This is what EVERYone wants to know! I dunno... it's just ME! Newspaper articles, photo spreads, winning ice cream for 100... it's like I said to the kids last night... I try to live every day like a new adventure, with a positive attitude, and be open to new opportunities -- even doing just the routine day-to-day stuff -- and sometimes you just never know where the day will end up! Like yesterday -- when I woke up, I had no idea that before the end of the day I'd be "booked" on the Today Show!! What a HOOT!!! Ok, I think my skype is set up. Now I have to re-arrange the office so my "background" is nice! lol!! Good thing I just got my hair cut... but it's too short!! Does the camera add length to hair like weight to the bod? PAMELA... maybe I don't have the correct phone number for you?? I called the one off the list... hmmmmmm... I had to cancel my lunch w/my friend -- ironic, no? DD is home sick & I just had to work to catch up & stop feeling so guilty... like now! So bye for now!!

Morning, girlies~~ Pammie... I tried to call your cell last night but got the voice mail? I left a message. Tell me if I called the wrong number while trying to get computer help to get medical help for this ol' brain of mine! Turns out my FIL has skype, so he's supposed to help me this morning after I get back from taking dd to the doc's AGAIN!!!!! :biggrin: Poor kid. Then I have lunch w/my friend. Really! I do!! Then kids places and LOADS of work that I am VERY behind on and feel horrible about... I was up late last night & will work every free sec today & will be up very late again tonight... I can either be up late OR get up early, but it kills me when I have to do both -- like this week!! I'll be a zombie by Friday! Make it a great day, dear hearts!

Definitely Pam... how sad.

REally? I don't remember this? (LOL!) This sounds good. Honestly, it's just too early for me to start planning this... but I will... promise! (All we need is 1 order of brisket, right? And lots & lots of booze. Voila. Planning done!)

Ack! Ok, I'm trying to set up Skype and I'm following the directions they sent, but somethings not working & I don't know anyone who has it to try it out on. Do any of you have Skype & can help me?? Tonight or tomorrow a.m.??

** BIG NEWS!! ** Ok, so remember how I posted earlier about going to meet my friend @ lunch a day early? & how forgetful I felt? Well, after that I went onto Twitter, where one of the "people" I follow is The Today Show, and there was a blurb on there that said, "Questions/concerns about memory loss? Ask Dr. Nancy" w/a link. Well, talk about perfect timing! So I typed up a quick paragraph w/my age, stats (busy mom, PTA prez, self-employed editor, etc., etc.) and gave today as an example, + how sometimes I'll walk into a room & then forget what I went in there to do... and I asked how you know it's just "normal", I've-got-too-much-on-my-mind stuff v. the beginning of something more serious... which I do fret about from time to time... like today! I hit send and voila. So I figure that they'll get lots of similar questions from similarly busy women across the USA, & they'll sum them all up and that's it. But NO! Within an hour I get a call from a Today Show producer! And, long story a bit shorter -- I'M GOING TO BE ON THE TODAY SHOW ON THURSDAY MORNING!! (And no, much to my dd's dismay, they are NOT flying me & my fam to NYC to ask my question. I'll be asking it via skype from right here in my office in front of my computer!) It will be on around 8:45am eastern time -- for those of you in other time zones, you'll have to do the math on that. So watch me -- dvr me -- laugh at me!! Now on to bigger matters... like what to wear!! Oh, and fret about how the camera adds 5 lbs... Kewl, huh??

Hey girls... Haydee -- yay you are back! Thank Tico or whatever the IT guy's name is for getting you back to us!! So today I get all prettied up & wear nice clothes to go meet my friend for lunch... and guess what?... we're scheduled for TOMORROW, not today! Duh! I think my mind is going!! I even had it on my calendar for today... but sure enough, right there in our e-mail exchange I'd written "see you on Tuesday..." I fear for my mind! Off to forget more things...

Why do you think Judy's on the early flight, huh?? Good luck fighting w/a sassy preacher's wife over the bebe! (My $$s on Judy!!)

Good Morning~~ Kat -- Best wishes on your new adventure! Suzie -- Good luck w/the fill! Pam -- Good luck w/the pie! oh, you already ate it! lol! :thumbup: TracyK -- Sounds like a blast was had by all!! Just another day in paradise here... make it the best it can be, ladies!

Quick check-in... A nice quiet day... can check-off "nap" from my to-do list -- :thumbup: -- now it's time to clean a bit & get ahead for the week! Can you believe that it's been sunny today? Blue sky & everything! So much for cancelling the soccer. But then a thunderstorm did roll through... gotta love spring! TTFN... the vacuum is calling me...

LOL, Janie! :thumbup: That's how I feel around here sometimes... like I'm just talking to myself! Guess what?! All soccer games are cancelled for today due to rain (not snow)! So now I have a whole, delicious rainy day with nothing planned!! Am watching Sunday Morning right now (you too, Pammy?) and sipping coffee in my pj's -- really, this feels so decadent! If I'm figuring correctly, this will be one of the last days like this 'til mid-June!! :eek: So I intend to enjoy it!! I'm thinking a little cleaning (just enough to make me feel happy)... a little work (just enough to make me feel caught up/organized)... a little nap (just because I can!)... a little crafting & tv... aaahhh... a leisurely day! Enjoy the Cirque, Janie! Enjoy your days, everyone!

Good Saturday Morn, Vi's~~ We are up & out for a full day of activities all up & down & up & down (repeat about 4 times) the highway today... + it's wet out there, which will add to the spectator fun! Make it a great day, everyone... think warm pacific island breeze thoughts & channel your inner Judy!

Yay Terri... keep it going! (It looks like Hero is announcing it! lol!)

Enjoy your DREAM VACA Judy & Bob!! :wink:

I don't know yet, Laura... I'm going to have dh check on car rental rates thru his work & discounts, etc... but that won't happen 'til he's back... so put me (& Judy?) down for a strong "maybe".

One more thing! DH bought DONUTS this morning -- 1 doz!! ACK!! I hate having to use my willpower, but especially first thing in the morning!!!!!!! & he keeps saying, "We've got donuts! Everyone get your donuts! Mmmm, these donuts are good!" Ai yai yai! (having donuts is a rarity here, as you may be able to tell...) Oh -- AND they are on the counter right in front of my little Magic Bullet protein shake blender, which I always use to make my b'fast!! UGH!

Good Morning... As Pam would say, I'm getting my "do" done @ 9. I need it! I feel like the shaggy dog. This will really signal that Spring is here. I'm getting highlights & my sassy cut back. Yay! Then it's Yearbook time... we're submitting the pages today... always nerve-wracking!... Make it a great day, everyone! Judy -- Travel safely & have a GREAT time!!

Yay! We're all leaving for Hawaii w/Judy tomorrow!! She's taking us with her... virtually speaking! Thank you, Judy!! Sock Hop was a success... loud music, pizza & soda... the kids dance around like maniacs... the parents sit around trying to hear each other over the music... the kids LOVE it! It was my last one... the "lasts" are coming fast & furious now as dd finishes up ES. G'night gals!! Sweet dreams.

((Judy)) ((birdie))

Good Afternoon~~ Larua... You can put me on the tree if you want to... I'm usually at one of my phones... put both numbers, please! Hi TracyKS... You ARE a goober! ONLY 90 percent?? What -- are you slackin?? LOLOLOLOL! I think this exercise thing may be starting to stick w/me! Today I was scheduled to go do weights w/ds, but (for several reasons) he didn't want to go... so even though it was extremely inconvenient & out of the way & it's pouring rain out... I went by myself! Why? Because when I thought of not going, I felt uncomfortable and like I'd be missing something! Weird! Usually any excuse is good for me to get out of exercise! Who would'a though that Pam & I would become the Big Exercisers?? Tonight is the annual ES Sock Hop / pizza party. Cross your fingers for me!

I'll wait for you, Judy!!! (Then we can zoom to the house & nab the best bedroom w/a view! tee hee tee hee!)

Woot! ....yeah, at the GROCERY STORE!!!:cursing: Only if they sell LIQUOR @ the GS in Ala (which they probably do, huh?) -- lol!! & yeah, Judy will probably be withdrawing from her tuna / soynut / mandarin ojs so we'll have to stop in & get her fix! Jenn -- Best wishes, dear one. Pamela -- I love those old-timey postcards!! They are great! All those homes are in your town & you've never seen them?? And Walt's!! Speaking of which... I am planning our next WDW trip for a 4-day weekend in September!! I'm so excited! I squirrel away $$ every time I get paid, so when dh grouches "We can't do that, we don't have any money, what are you thinking?" I can go "Voila!" In fact, I already told him & he did grouch & I said that we want him to come but if not, that we were still going! :tt2: Now, of course, I realize that a million things could happen between now & then, but I've already checked the soccer schedule etc., & it is doable as of this moment. Really, my psyche is much calmer and happier when I have a trip in the works... just knowing that I can "daydream w/purpose" soothes my soul somehow. I know, I am a crazy, weird Disney nut!! I'm crazy busy today through next week. I won't detail it, just trust me. The biggie is that DH leaves Sat a.m. for a week for his Co's annual meeting -- in Orlando (not WDW, just O) of all places! (Trust me, I tried to make it work that we could tag along, but NO WAY w/everything the kids have got going... oh yeah, & school! lol! stupid school, messes everything up!) So I'll be single-mom'ing it again and seriously, the weekend we'll be home only to sleep! So I'll check in when I can. Love you all!!
