I canNOT believe this... I had the most beautiful, touching, wonderful 1st post to this new thread and "POOF!" -- it's gone!

Maybe it's the cyber-world telling me it's time to get to bed... good night, my lovelies!!

Michelle - Meant to say how awesome is that about your Springsteen concert!! Isn't he like one of your very favorites???

I can't even remember the last time I went to a concert. Just not my thang anymore. What an old lady I have become!!!

Speaking of which -- has anyone been watching the Alzheimer's Project on HBO this week? It's really good and so informative. I loved the segment about the grandkids...so sweet.

Good morning everyone!! Tired, wanted to go back to bed, but didn't. I need to poop, I know I know tmi, but wow and ouch!!!

It is sunny today, yesterday we had all kinds of warnings, but none came to fruition with the storms.

Terry you are always thinking, you are so smart!!!

Well I need to get some things done here, so I will check in again before I leave!!!

Hello everyone, I feel sluggish and out of sorts this morning. I think I need a few more hours of sleepy-time . . . perhaps an extended lunch nap, lol.

I guess you know you are pregnant when your desire for sleep outweighs your desire for food. My DH just happens to be home today as well. We always like to take naps together when we can and there may not be too many more of these opportunities for a while. Perhaps I can convince him, lol.

Speaking of which, we started to take a regular Sunday afternoon nap for about an hour. This is actually quite wonderful. There is nothing like sliding under the covers on a Sunday afternoon for a spell. It is heavenly and I highly recommend it.

OK . . . enough about naps, before I fall asleep, lol.

Terry you are always thinking, you are so smart!!

Jane I don't know what the hell you are talking about!! I couldn't even remember my own phone number this morning when I was talking to the body shop guy!! OMG! It was pitiful. I still question whether or not I gave him the right one!

I actually do that all the time Terry, I don't use my home #, so I never remember it right lol.

When you called me, I was trying to call Russ.. so I was like what the heck.. ended up hanging up on both of you, that's why I had to call you back.

Ya'll remember my Pandora kitty we put down last year

I have this lil clay figurine I made of her when she was a kitten, and it says her name.. last night one of my cats ate the head off of it!!!!!!!!

We're havin' serious animal issues, since that bag of bad Purina.. we got this Natural Life or something, but it ends up cats can overdose on it--we have 1 piggie cat and 1 picky cat. So one cat overdosed and has been squirting diarhea, the other one hasn't eaten in a few days.. argh.

Gotta go to the store to get yet again another bag of food today.

Meanwhile our dog's thyroid has been acting up, so she takes forever to eat; cowers and acts like she's in trouble because we have to tell her to eat a 1,000 times before she will. She goes to the vet tomorrow to get more thyroid meds.

I'm gonna be pissed if I end up havin to take my cats to the vet because of Purina's bad bag of food causing this chain reaction with them.

Kids, cats, and dogs.. oh my.

I go see the proofs for Carson's photos today, YAY.

Good Morn,

Yes I am going! Sheesh! Be away from the computer for one afternoon & look what happens! You think I'm THAT easy to shake? ha ha ha ha ha!

Yes, Springsteen is my #1 all-time fav rocker, so it's a big honkin' deal that she asked me to go! So psyched!

Just putting one foot in front of the other today... & every day... to keep from getting overwhelmed w/the end-of-year crud... 3 weeks from tonight will be the elections (cross your fingers!) and then I will resign & be DONE!! 3 weeks... just 3 little ol' weeks... I can do it!

Make it a good day, everyone!

I love Bruce! Would not say he is fav and I don't own any CD's but what a classic addition to Americana! Have fun!

And in just 2 weeks from today you will be packing (which at 105 degrees shorts only...even for the party, EVERYONE WEARS SHORTS) for your trip!

And in just 2 weeks from today you will be packing (which at 105 degrees shorts only...even for the party, EVERYONE WEARS SHORTS) for your trip!

Yes, Yes, Yes! 2 weeks from today = packing!

However, I do NOT wear shorts! Even in 105 degrees! Really, no one needs to see my legs -- trust me!! So it's skirts & capris for me! + I bought a cute flowy maxi dress for the party!!

Good afternoon....

I'm on day 3 with no ice cream....... and last night was HARD because we went out and they brought a big ol hand dipped sundae to the table with 4 spoons!!!!!! I RESISTED..... today however I did have a bag of popcorn w/real butter for lunch......

My neice is graduating tonight..... and now my tummy is growling.

way to go Tracy!

We are home from mowing. I finally got to take a shower, boy was I a stinker. And sunburned. Ouch.

TracyKS, great job on the ice cream. Keep it up.

Good evening!!

Oh my gosh!! I ate at Culvers today. I had their ice cream of the day and it was banana foster!!

Yumm!!!!!!

It really is the first sugar I have had a awhile.

Where is everyone today????

I know, the last 2 days we've been so gabby.

Good evening, Violets..

I had Kdg. round up today and have been on the go since 5:30 this morning. Now I know why I retired. It was fun though, seeing all my former colleagues and some students. I go back tomorrow for another round.

The only bad part is the 120 round trip miles by myself.

Suzie.. our pool is up to 78 degrees tonight. I should be swimming on Saturday. Can't wait!!!

TracyinKS... good for you on your ice cream free days!! I had a schwans ice cream sundae cone tonight. It was an ice cream kinda day for me. But none tomorrow. I'm rationing myself. I couldn't go triking today because the wind was sooooooo strong, I probably would have tipped over!!

I'm going to watch CSI and then head to bed. I'm not used to these super early mornings.

Everyone have a good evening. Sleep well!

Just poppin in real quick, I am so exhausted today (more so than usual). Carson hasn't slept much today; he's a little fussy when not held, but he's just been alert and wanting to be entertained, which is hard since he can't play yet.

Pam, that book is awesome! SOMEHOW I actually forgot about it, my mom introduced me to that book years ago, it's such a beautiful story. Thank you )

Russ said he made Carson have a full fledged smile 2x today. I have him most of the time and I haven't had a real full one yet, Russ has him 10 minutes and bam. He said he was nuzzling his nose.. I gobble his neck and nuzzle and NOTHIN. Boo :thumbup:

He said he definitely has dimples on both sides. Wonder where they came from!
