And we are back!! Just was ready for a fresh start, and it was taking so long to load the page...let the banter begin! xoxoxoxoxo:thumbup::cursing::Banane34:

Oh UGH, Pam. Bleh. Good luck w/THAT!

It's raining raining raining here. Supposed to have flooding. Lovely.

I don't know if it made national news or not, but if you heard about the charter bus that went off the flyway north of DC... it happened near where I grew up... terrible accident!

Well, aren't I just the bluebird of happiness today? :drool:

I'll say it anyway: everyone make it a great day!

Good morning, Violets..

PamELa.... uuuggggg is right.. Hope you get this issue resolved.

Michelle.. was just reading about the bus accident in our local paper this morning. Tragic.

Lazy day today. All I have is a flute rehearsal at 2. I'm making meat loaf for dinner. Not the German kind, the Case kind with home made pickle relish mixed in. Haven't made it in years and the Bobster is thrilled. I'm going to have buttered, cooked cabbage along with it.

I got in the hot tub last night and we got the knee to bend even farther. Now all I have to do is keep up with the home exercises I got from the therapist and I'll be back to exercise walking and riding my bike hopefully before the snow flies.

Joe and family are scheduled to head back to Michigan on the 11th. I can't wait to have Ethan back here for some Gramma time.

Off to find some breakfast and get dressed for the day. Everyone make it a good one!!!

Good morning!

Judy, I thought Jen was coming back early with Ethan? Liked today?

That is terrible about the bus crash, didn't read or hear about it. But was worked both places yesterday.

Jen and Ethan are coming back by bus and will be here on the 12th. Joe is driving the U-Haul back and will be here hopefully on the 13th. He was going to stay longer, but he said as long as he was depressed, he might as well be depressed with friends and family rather than by himself. I will just be glad to have them all home and especially to get Ethan back.

Mmmmmm leftover Thai food for lunch. Then off to flute rehearsal. The Bobster will be golfing, as usual.

Good evening, Violets..

Can it be??? A week ago at this time I was in California??? Time sure does fly, doesn't it??

I have the meat loaf and scalloped potatoes in the oven and the cabbage on the stove. Things are starting to smell really good in here!!

Flute rehearsal is done and now just waiting on Project Runway.

Hope everyone has a good evening!!

Can it be??? A week ago at this time I was in California??? Time sure does fly, doesn't it??

Judy, I just had this thought at dinner! And it took me by surprise! A week ago enjoying those margi's @ Las Cas... mmmmm. :drool:

It was rainy & windy all day today... so I made the first batch of chili of the Fall/Winter season! It was very good (if I do say so myself!).

I am so tired... bed early tonight, I think. Sweet dreams, everyone!

It does seem weird...can't believe it has been a week! Long week for me with that additional project, but being SOOOO busy, the week flew by.

I came home and Sus had made spaghetti!!! What a lovely surprise. And since I don't have papers to grade...I get to relax and read and watch boob!!! I love boob tube!

xoxo

Oh yeah...has anyone read Freedom by Jonathan Frazen (something like that). I am going to download it tonight. It came HIGHLY recommended. Anyone?

He was my brother in laws best friend in high school and in their wedding. He is very talented.

WOW Janie...you know a celeb!! that is cool..have you read the book?

No, my sister has read his books, she likes them. She says he has gotten weird as he has gotten famous. Or maybe as he would say we have gotten weird as he has gotten famous.

Busy busy day, both today and tomorrow. I just hope I do okay then at Sallys. Then I work there on Sunday. I have a perm both today and tomorrow and hate to go in smelling like a perm! Oh well...

Good morning, Violets..

Had a strange night. I went in the hot tub and did my stretching and bending without the Bobster this time. When I got out, about 15 minutes later the knee started to sting really bad. Never had a stinging pain before. I had to take 2 percocets and was worried that I had torn something. But it's fine this morning, thank goodness. I got a good night's sleep and the knee is bending normally with no pain ... whew.

We are going to an apple orchard this morning with Kris, Grady and a couple of his little friends. Should be fun! They have lots of stuff for the little ones to do while the bobster and I will be sampling the gooey, apple goodies.

Everyone have a great day!!

The weekend arrives in 1 hour and 28 min...have a great one ladies!

xoxoox

The rain is gone, and now it is beautiful crisp Fall weather! Love it!

DS's soccer team had another shut-out last night -- yay!

DD begins the Fall/Winter horse jumper show series @ the end of the month! It runs Oct - Feb. She's also auditioning for "Seussical the Musical" this month, w/the show performed in April.

I'm still trying to catch up (when will I learn that I will *never* catch up?!) w/laundry & the house... ah well, I look at it as job security!

A week ago today I was a "chubby" girl in a tiara @ the casino... today I'm still chubby, but no tiara & no casino. Maybe I'll put on the tiara just for the heck of it! :smile2:

Everyone enjoy this weekend!
