Good Morning Y'all!

I can't believe I am the first one here! It is so hot in my house this morning, our A/C went out last night and I can't even get my makeup on for for for sweating it off!

I am going to either leave early or go out in the car and put it on! lol

Darcy - Please know we are there with you this morning, please let us know how things turn out. By the way, I am the one sitting on your shoulder, (the right one) in case it feels a little heavy on that side! Hugs!

I don't have time for personals this morning, but I am thinking about each of you too! I'll try to get back with you tonight if I can.

Later!

kat

glad to hear that you got some names to work with!! thats a step in the right direction!

Just peeking in...hope everyone is having a good day. Busy weekend planned so not sure when i'll get back on here. Have an IET (Intergrated Energy Therapy) class all day tomorrow and a craft fair with my mom on Sunday. Oooo the start of craft fairs...I love it hee hee

Mandy, that's not fair, y'all sent an ape after me when I was missing, LOL.

Is that what your calling me now ???

BBL gotta run

.

Whew class is done and I'm POOPED. Lots of energy used up today. Pretty cool stuff though...took an Intergrated Energy Therapy Class or IET.

Hi!

Busy weekend here, we have the granddaughter staying. All of our kids are in Las Vegas---lucky ducks!!

Will try to get in and catch up after bedtime. TTYL!!!

Kat

Just popping in to see what's going on...looks like everyone's busy doing stuff.

No, Eileen, I don't think we're calling you an ape, but that's funny anyway!

I've made not one, but two birthday cakes this morning. That was pretty fun. Other than a load of laundry, which is extremely fun as everyone here knows (!), there's not a lot going on....and THAT is nice!

Nighty-night...hugs to all,

Cindy

I worked on the community newsletter for my subdivision all week. I have to present it to the board on monday evening for approval. I also have to decide if I want to take over the social commitee by monday. I was offically offered the position this morning. It's a mess right now, the old officer let too many personal issues get dragged in and the board wants a fresh outsiders face running things. That's where I come in, I'm new and neutral with everyone. I want to do it, but it's a ton of work. $8,000 worth of parties each year, plus potlucks and pool parties (we have a pool in the community so those don't cost anything) I'll most likely take it, but have asked that I be able to ask a few people to step out until they have calmed down. It's seems like it's been the same 8 or 10 ladies for 6 years, and the parties are all the same. New faces, new ideas. I want to get more kids involved. We have a great mix of kids around here. That's my weekend, tomorrow is laundry. ~Mandy

Oh, I made tilipia for dinner and it was really good. I used McCormik's fish batter on it, I will be buying that again. It was 1 cup of the batter mix and 2/3 cup water. Made a great English style breading. It would be good on shrimp too. ~M

Well, got the kiddo to bed, and I am going to be right behind her. There is a reason God gives you kids when you are young!!! I am too old to chase around a 2 year old!!!

I am not sleeping well at all, I can no longer sleep on my back, the mess on my thyroid, causes too much pressure on my trachia, and my air gets cut off, so I wake up gasping and heart racing...time after time, after time! Many years ago I was a side or stomach sleeper, then I hurt my back, so I trained myself to sleep on my back---now untraining is taking just as long!

I see you in here Penni---miss your posts---hope all is well, I think of you often, everytime I read a Nora Roberts book, or catch Ghost Whisperer!!!

Ok girls, I am off to bed....see ya tomorrow!!

Kat

Good Morning,

Signgirl WELCOME :Banane10:

Today I'll be going food shopping, cleaning the ol castle, helping dd with her home work, laundry..ya know FUN STUFF.

Have a groovy week ahead.

:Banane10:

Eileenie, I did NOT refer to you as an ape, you know I love you too much to do that, I can think of a few other names tho, like shugums, sweetsie, Mama of NJ thread, but thanks for bringing me back :Banane10:

Cindy, glad you're having some down-Cindy time.

Kat, it's so funny, I was in Sams the other day, and this 2yr old was screaming and throwing a fit, this man said, "boy, I don't miss those days" and I said to him, what you said, "that's why we have em young". I so love my gkids, but I do not like all nighters, I need all the beauty sleep I can get.

Went to hear the Beach Boys Friday night, went to a fund raising gala, got to dress up, catch a limo, didn't get in til 3:30 in the AM. We had a great time, although the BB were awful.

We were standing at the bottom of the stage, as a matter of fact, that's where we sat our drinks while we were jamming, lol. The two originals...talk about oldies, just mimed the songs, made little waves and motions with their hands, but that was it. Then I told the old guy playing the "mini" piano, that I wanted his hat, then he rubbed his fingers together, indicating it would cost me. So I held out a $50.00 bill, he laughed and said, "you're a thousand dollars short"....A$$

Mandy, the social committee sounds like lots of work and a lot of time, just warning ya.

Sherry what kind of class is that, sound like something I need, energy and therapy :Banane10:

Hugs girlies, gotta run get my badge...you Pogo(ers) know what I'm talking about :biggrin1:

(just used the edit, what pain in the a$$, got so busy fixing all that chit that comes up, almost forgot to fix what i came back to fix)

Mandy, forgot to ask, does that make a puffy batter, like on the poopoo trays? I like a puffy batter, but not too thick any ideas chickies?

Sheesh, do I always spell this badly? Had to come back and do spell check on this one too....ok I did say spell, not smell!

It is a nice light batter. Not too thick. About half as thick as the batter at long john silvers. (they use pancake batter) It reminds me a real fish and chips. Think british pub fish. I think if I have turned it a few more times in the batter it would be more of a tempura type batter. My mom also said if I used seltzer or club soda it would have been a lighter, fluffier batter. I used plain ol' water. ~Mandy

Howdy Pat, Mandy, Cindy, Eileen, Betty and everyone else I can't see cause I forgot to hit "go advanced" hahaha.

Pat - IET (Integrated Energy Healing) it's a type of holistic healing that uses accupressure like points called integration points. At these points the flow of energy comes close to the surface of the body and is where the transfer of energy is very efficient. With IET we work on clearing the cellular memory of the bad memories, feelings etc and replace it with positive, healing energy. Lots to it but, I just finished the basic course. There are actually 3 more levels of training in it I have to go through in order to teach it. That will probably take another year. I've already had a year of training in Reiki and I am teaching that to others now too. I'm really into all types of healing the body and mind including herbal, organics, aromatherapy etc. :Banane10: Of course this is only in addition to seeing a regular doctor. It was quiet eye opening yesterday and I'm glad I took the course :Banane10:

I'm actually thinking of signing up for a holistic online school to take a bunch of courses and get credit for them. Reflexology is another one I'd like to try so we'll see. The cash has to be there to pay for this stuff of course lol

How is everyone doing? Did anyone want to come to my house and do my laundry too? Man I don't like Sunday's for that but, then again when I get down about it I think back to the days where I actually had to sit at a laundramat and do it ...yeap it's not so bad now

Love yas

Sherry, you silly girl, you can still go advanced, even after you start your post :Banane10:

That is some cool stuff you're into! No joking, I think that is so interesting, just a lot to absorb, would love to have the nerve to do the accupuncture.

Mandy, never thought about the pancake batter, but I suppose it would work. All this chat about food, I'm going to call my mom to go eat.

Hey Diane, Betty, the rest of you ladies, where in the heck are you?

Good Morning Y'all!

Sorry I was MIA this weekend, I was babysitting too! I'm getting too old for these all nighters! I feel like I haven't been to bed all weekend. Saturday night was the worst, I got about 1 hour of sleep!

It's supposed to rain/storm here today, I'll take the rain but they can keep the storms.

Hello to all of you! I don't have time for personals today, I have a pot luck at work and I have to get my stuff ready to take.

I'll catch you all later!
