Good morning all, its a beautiful day in this part of England today, the sun is shining and its nice and warm. So what has everyone got planned for their Saturday?

Does anyone know how long pleurisy takes to clear up?

Goodmorning.  Ok why is it that I ALWAYS wake up early when Kelsay is not here?  UGGG it is sooo aggravating! LOL....Not much goin on today.  Gonna get some classwork done while Kelsay is at dads today.  Other then that, got nothing planned for this weekend. 

It's cold and sunny here today.  My daughter's cheer team is doing a car wash today, so I guess I'll go and let them wash mine.  Then I'll probably have to go to the real car was cuz my car is black and hand washing it never turns out right.  And I'm going to Ikea to buy a lamp.  That'll take forever because the place is like a giant maze.  It's hard to find your way back out.

Hubby is golfing and I'm going to the gym for a swim then this evening I'll do some yard work. I love it but it doesn't love me. We're talking about going to see the new Jodie Foster movie sometime this week. We saw the trailer for it when we saw The Bourne Ultimatum.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I have a memorial service to go to this morning, and then I don't know what's going on afterwards.  Possibly lunch or dinner with the relatives that are in from out of town.

My cousin committed suicide a couple of months ago, and he leaves behind a wife and 6-year old twins.  My dad and stepmom won't be going, because she's not doing well at all.

Good morning...It is sunny and chilly here in Wyoming.  It is supposed to be 80....hmmm we shall see. 

The house is quiet...hubby's cutting wood for the wood stove, and the kids are still asleep.  I love the mornings...they do not like me though.  Woke up today with even more swelling.  Hubby has told me to rest today and see what happens.  (that was nice)  I showed him my hands and he said...they are even worse than normal.  Try not to use them much...hello...I am a mom and Homecoming is tonight! 

I will chat later. shel

Jas~ Hope the service goes as well as they can go.  LOL i just got a funny mental picture of the running after the walkers trying to check their prostate

Shelly~ Make sure to post some pictures of homecoming today!!!  It was nice of hubby to tell you to rest today!

It is FREAKIN COLD right now...Its only 50 right now, with a high of 63...its soposed to be like this all this weekend and warm up during the week...I pulled out the little space heater...We got it last winter for me when I was on the computer downstairs...We only spent like on it but this little sucker puts out a lot of heat...I just cant see turning on the heat yet...It'll really depresse me...well IF i was able to more like it

Shannon...keep your feet warm.  I know the Germans used to give me a hard time for walking barefoot around the house, but it is true if your feet are warm you whole body is. 

Jaz...I am so sorry for your loss.  Gosh...how sad!  Let us know if you need to vent later.  OMG I am such a dork sometimes.  I went to take my Biaxin about a half hour ago.  So I reached into the drug box and grabbed the bottle and took one.  Then I got that warm fuzzy feeling like you do when you take vicodin on an empty stomach.  Yep, I grabbed the wrong bottle.  Grrrr... I've got to remember to keep the vicodin segregated in the toolbox.  I usually keep it under the pull-out tray and keep the daily stuff on top of the pull-out tray, but sometimes things just get tossed back in without a second thought.

Shelly~My mom bought me these socks that are fuzzy and I absolutly love them, I'm wearing them right now actually.  They arent normal socks, I cant think of what they are but she got them me for Mothers Day last year.  They are the only type of socks that I will wear to bed...I HATE wearing socks to bed ICK OMG I hate wearing socks!  My feet are almost never cold; I run around barefoot all the time.  My feet feel best when they're naked.  Mom and dad had a helluva time pinning me down and putting shoes on me when I was little.  They said it was like trying to shoe a wild horse.

Well, hubby had to go into work at 6am today, so he woke up around 5:30am. Son is still sleeping. I would have been still sleeping, if MIL did not bring daughter home to play with the kitten.

Hubby just got home about 20 mins ago. And he already asleep on the couch. He hit the couch a few mins after he came in. Probably why he did not say much about Abi peeing in the livingroom. He does know she knows how to use the litter box, as I filled up the litter box and put her in it and she scratched around and went pee while he was standing there. So, that is a good thing.

Another darn FOOTBALL game is on today. UGH! And I am going to be stuck over in-laws while hubby watches it with FIL.

Did I mention... I HATE FOOTBALL!!!!

I always wear shoes.  It's not that I don't like bare feet, it's just that I hate stepping on a little crumb or drop of water.  Makes me crazy.

Jaz, didn't you have another wrong pill incident recently? I think you accidently took a sleeping pill before work???  You're pretty stinjy with the bone head crown, aren't you??

But I'm glad you did it today, it reminded me that I never took my enbrel yesterday. 

I think I might give Abi a bath today. She kinda has a funky smell.

                            Hello Everyone

I'm the late one as usual

I hate going barefoot anywhere! If my feet hit the floor I have to have my flip flops on

Well hubby is mowing and I'm getting things ready to go to a festival at the Brown Mountains up in Linville Gorge, about twenty minutes from here. It's a creepy place at night with unexplained floating lights on the side of the mountain, I hope we can see them tonight

Hope ya'll are having a good day today. Have a great weekend!

Oh and when his dad was asking him if we were going to get a kitten last night, he told him No, but he smiled.

Now I just gotta keep the kitten in check and he will grow to love her.

I am just afraid he might accidentally step on her, as she likes to follow us around and he has BIG feet (size 14 shoe), and she is soo small. He brought that up, as he has accidentally stepped on a kitten before, and killed it. That is why I feel better about keeping her in her basket while we are not awake, so she does not get under his feet when he gets up in the morning as he is a zombie and does not pay attention to what he is doing.

Well, there is nothing like being barefoot.  Of course when I was prego...hubby made a big deal about the whole barefoot thing. 

Jaz...my feet are always warm until I get sick.  Sorry about the biaxin...that is what I take when I get a sinus infection...how do you get rid of the medal taste in your mouth???

Joonie...you are soooo funny...bathing that poor kitty.  I've got a couple of furries that need bathed. 

Well, I am going back to bed...be back later.  Had to take my inhaler, and of course...hubby suggested I take a whole pain pill...cause my joints look so bad. 

It's 44 degrees this morning and the clouds have finally lifted, we haven't seen the mountains for weeks and now they're covered with snow, so I'm working on pictures to post. The kitten is cute Joonie, it's head is all ears! We had a cat when I was pg and the cat litter disease was in the headlines, so I told DH I couldn't touch the litter, I never changed it again. Funny he never figured that out, that once we weren't having babies anymore I could resume that job.OMG something is SOOOO wrong... Ok so there are these pasta things we buy that you put water and a tsp of butter and into the microwave for 10 mins and voila (sp?) yummy pasta.   well I could eat the whole thing thats how yummy i was and how hungry I was...Well now i cant eat it all

Kelly - Sorry to hear about your cousin...so very sad. I can't even begin to imagine what his family must be going through.

Joonie - Your kitten is absolutely adorable! And you are spoiled rotten!

Link - Don't get lost at Ikea...we need you in chat tonight!

Lisa - It sounds like a beautiful day in England. Hope you enjoy your Saturday! No real plans for me...I think it's going to be one of those 'lazy' days!

Shelly, Shannon and Deidre - Enjoy your cool weather! It's supposed to be in the high 90's here again today and I'M TIRED OF THIS HEAT!

Mona - I got my coffee today!! I haven't tried it yet as hubby was out early this morning and brought me a Venti Starbucks right before the mailman delivered the coffee. 

And to anyone else I've missed...hope you all have a wonderful day!

Brisen39340.4914467593The service was sad, though it was good to see my relatives.  I feel so bad for his wife and children... what a huge loss for them!

Mona whines about being the late one. Hah! It's 3pm and I'm JUST NOW logging into AI.

 

DAY THREE pain free! I'm so stoked :) I'm at work and it's sslloooowwww which makes me happy.

Sorry to hear about your cousin Kelly :( Joonie I can't see your pics while I'm here at work, but I'll check it out when I get home.

 

Yay lazy day!

 

I still have more. I'm trying to make them last....

 

I'm so not shutting up about these.... LOL

 

No Deidre, I don't eat them like that. I'm not that coordinated. I bite the tops off, suck the seeds out and spit them into the trash, then eat the skin off and then eat the rest.

I like pomegranites too!  I always get so messy eating them though.  I love concord grapes this time of year, I can eat a who package of them - then I pay for it later!

I think grapes are one of my all time favorite things to eat.  But they have to be firm and crisp.  And they have to be sweet but not too sweet

so hows about you guys go to the todays joke thread and read my joke.

youll like it i think

or maybe not

 

Shannon, Im sorry.  I just keep losing you.I read it!!!

Now I'm trying to remember back to when I was in sixth grade and wondering if I would have got it back then. Probably. 

Here they are HOMECOMING pictures...She is meeting girlfriends there.  Her boyfriend is at the University about 45 minutes away...he wouldn't take her any way.  I am so glad she is independent. 

  

Now I just hope she gets to go.  A girl called in sick, and so her work plans have changed.  She was trying not to cry!!!  I hope she goes for a little bit anyway. 

Shelly4139340.7257523148aww I hope she is able to go Shelly..She looks absolulty beautiful!!! 

 

She just has this classic beauty, so we played on that 'cause the theme is "through the ages"   This was fun!  I always look forward to prom or homecoming.  My son will NEVER go...stinker.

 

Thank you Shannon...she can be a handful! 

She's gorgeous Shelly!  I don't think she should have to miss her dance because someone called in sick at work - that's just not right! 

 

I'll work for her! Where does she work?? Gimmie directions.....

 

Well, she was going to hostess from 6-8, and then she would have been at the dance shortly after it started.  When this girl called, the girl was bussing tables, so now she has to work from 6-9.  If she is feeling up to it she will go, but she has the same cold thing that I have...in fact...hmmm, she's where I picked it up. 

Yes!  It stinks!

 

Oh Katie...how sweet, I will tell her that.  She is hostess/busser at one of the upscale restaurants her in Cheyenne. 

So she's sick - she should be able to leave early, right????

 

So what if she doesn't come straight home, LOL!

 

Well, ya, I was thinkin' that too, but I guess I have to be responsible.  I HATE being the parent. 

LOL Yeah!! She should "go home sick"

 

Come on, dances don't happen every night. She NEEDS to go!

Sure wish Cheyenne was closer to Florida...lol I'd help her out!

There are times to be a parent, and times to be a "co-conspirator"!

 

She does need to go...I agree! 

Call in sick for her mom!!!

Do it, do it, do it!!

 

she's already at work...so it is too late.  I'm sure she has said something by now.  I would not be surprised if her boss will not let her go early. 

Awww :( What crap. Could you call and say she has to come home RIGHT now it's an emergency? Or would that just be too much?

Ya...probably toooooo much.  She was sent home yesterday though...man she was awful yesterday...damn(darn...sorry) boyfriend...he started this.  I am sure he has slobbered on her.

LMAO

Sorry that's a mom coping with someone kissing their daughter.  I actually love him a lot, and hope they stay together.  He is SO good to her, and he doesn't let her get snippy with me!  Ya, but you know...the whole seein' your daughter kiss someone that she really likes.  hmmm maybe slobbers is not the right thing...but it's close. 

Hi Shelly! Just signed on and want to ditto what everyone else has said! She is absolutely beautiful and she MUST go to the prom!

I wish I could see pictures at work. I'm so missing out. I'm sure she is as pretty as everyone says though.

 

I'm hungry. Someone get me some candy corn.....

How 'bout some Dibs??

 

what are dibs?  I can't believe people like candy corn.

 

Dibs are like little Bon-Bons. They're made by Dreyer's and the are so freakin' good! Hubby brought me home a container a while ago and I totally pigged out! And I LOVE candy corn btw... 

 

If you don't like candy corn, you're not american....

High five Katie! Candy corn is as american as apple pie! 

 

Link you're banned from any further talk of candy.........!!!

Kinda like an oxymoron, huh?

 

 

I got a new perfume last night.........it's funny cause it's the OC brand. Haha but it smells really nice. I've learned not to judge them by their names anymore.

the girl, I don't know her title, is sending me possible menus, and yes, we will absolutly have a champagne toast.  My other son would be crushed if he didn't get to toast the newlyweds.  He's got it all planned.Another nice touch, is waiter passed wine and beer with the hor'dourves. It doesn't cost that much to hire a couple extra waiters, and the guests really liked it. We also had the waiters pass chocolate dipped strawberries when the cake was served.

My all time favorite perfume is GAP grass which you can only get on ebay for a ridiculous price as it has been discontinued

 

Oh yeah my fav perfume doesn't exsist anymore. *sigh* It was one that Bath & Body works made. And now they don't even MAKE perfume anymore. But I used to keep it in my glove box, so my glove box still smells like it. HeheheheKatie - I just smelled a new perfume sample in this weeks US Weekly magazine. It's called 'Diamonds' by Emporio Armani and I really like it...at least on the smelly strip in the magazine!

Seriously, thanks.  And I mean that

 

Katie - I gotta tell you something funny. When I first became a member of AI and I was just getting to know everyone, I happened to look at your profile. When I saw your occupation was 'Hospitality', I SERIOUSLY thought you ran, or were part of, an escort service!

 

Thanks Valley Girl.

But you're so far off base.......how on earth am I cute and sweet??

 

Maybe I *AM* a scary slut! What would you know??? Hahaha

Katie is a scary slut!  She's getting a tattoo of Manson!! Hillhoney39340.8031828704Katie...you might not like to think it but you are definitlky cute and sweet.  And funny.  I wish I could match you with Alex.  Hey Special K...just in time!  LOLyou like kitty cats and little kids and candy corn.. Hardly a hard guy.  Guess you could still be a slut though.

 

Oh, I guess I've never mentioned how I love spirals. I can't really explain it, aside from the fact that they are almost everywhere, even in nature. Anyway, the heart that he drew, has a spiral in it, it's really amazing looking. I HAVE to get it....

Katie - I love spirals too! Can you post a pic of the heart/spiral on his latest CD cover? I wanna see, but am too lazy to do a search!

He is pretty creepy though.

I wonder if Marilyn Manson eats candycornNah, he probalby kills it and sucks its blood.OK, I gotta go goggle it...I think he prolly smokes it!

 

http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=404486

It's on the inside artwork, I couldn't find it anywhere but on this t-shirt. It's on the shirt I bought at the concert too. The other day when I googled it, I got TONS of photos. I don't know what the deal is today.

 

I'm actually thinking about integrating(sp) it into my Alice tattoo....

I like it Katie! So are you getting a tattoo of that or of Alice...or both??

Its about Lewis Carroll.......a girl comes to him in his dreams, and it's essentially Alice and everyone in Wonderland......but it's dark and twisted. And he eventually doesn't want to sleep, because she just hants him EVERY time he sleeps. It sounds really neat, I can't wait!

Is Marilyn Manson still married?

Nope, they got divorced. Now he's dating some 19 year old bitch. Evan Rachel Wood. She's such an idiot. You know why she likes him? And I'm quoting her here: "Guys with eye liner are hot"

 

I'm not disagreeing with her, but ARGH! >.< What a moron. If she breaks his heart, I might break her face....

Like he's the only guy with eye liner???

So Link, do you think your Alex would like a Goth chick? 

 

Well, you can't have her, I am sending Justin to Joonie to liven up her days, and then my son Dan can have Katie!!!

Justin would kill Joonie.....Sorry Karen, I already have dibs on Katie for my son Michael! Neener!!Speaking of joonie...do you think she'll like become non-existant since she has a cat now? 

 

Why am I being fought over, when I already HAVE a b/f?????

Well, it was rainy today for most of the morning and then boom!, the clouds went away and the sun came out.  However it is still cold.  Well, not really cold but for me coming from Florida to Massachusetts, 70 is cold.  I still have my Florida blood.  I like it being a bit chilly though instead of the hot and hotter weather in Florida.

So, my brother Todd babysat Isabel for a bit today.  He gave me some Mommy time.  And what did I do with my Mommy time?  I went toy shopping for Isabel.  There are some very cute toys out there.  She's getting into the pretending play now so I bought her a baby doll with it's own car seat, a cell phone(so she'll leave mine alone) and a baby bath tub.  I saw a million and one things I would have bought for her but it would have been thousands of dollars.  So, I controlled myself.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Yeah, but my son owns a hearse!

And I'm getting him to teach me how to do the same.....LOL

 

Hey now Gale!! Be nice.............

Hi Steph!

 

Mmmmmm a hearse............Hi Steph! Are the toys for Christmas or does Isabel get them now? I love when they start pretending!Hi everyone.  Linn, I did have fun.  Toy shopping is the best.  And without Isabel, it was even more fun.  When she's with me I don't get to look really.  I'm too busy stopping her from grabbing things off the shelf.  I've already gotten some ideas for Christmas for her.  I can't wait.How old is she now Steph?? Toy shopping is great.......and we don't even have kids......lolGale, now they were for now.  She got a gift card from my aunt and uncle for her birthday in July.  I just haven't had time to go look for her.  So considering I didn't have her with me today, I decided to do that.  The pretending stage is so much fun.  She picks up rocks and the backyard and says, "Mommy, have some coffee" as she hands me a rock.  It's so funny.

Katie,

Isabel turned 2 on July 27th.  She's really going through a fun stage, play-wise.  The temper tantrums I could do without but everything else is a blast.

Oooo I LOVE two year olds!! That was my favorite age!!! :)That makes a lot of sense Katie, it really does!Two - five...love those years!Aw, steph.  I remember those days.  They're so sweet.  Enjoy!

My second favorite class to have was the infant room. Babies are SO NEAT. But then when I was in there, I always missed the 2's. They were so cute and mischevious....hehe

Yeah, she's really a love.  I was looking for a microphone for her because she runs around the house, yard, car etc with a stick bellowing out Hannah Montana songs.  She's so cute.  And that whole coffee thing just cracks me up.  Today, she told my brother that she was going to drive the car. She says, " No Uncle Todd, I drive you today". 

Katie, Michevious is definitely my Isabel.  And she's too smart.  We can't pull anything over on this little one.  She doesn't even fall for the "Got your nose" trick.  My brother did that too her .  She says, "Silly Uncle Todd, my nose is right here"

Well gang, thats it for me...have a fun night

 

I have 45 minutes left of work! Woohooo!!!!

Good night Linn

Hey Katie,

Did you find a new car yet?

 

Icky no. I don't wanna talk about it. LOL The loan thing is a mess........I don't think we can do it right now. Bah. It was such a disapointment!!!

Damn that was a Looooooooooong football game

It was close to 4hrs long. UGH!

 

 Hey Guys!

Woohoo the girl finally gets her coffee

Have a good evening!  It's almost midnight here, think I'll say so long.

Damn FOOTBALL GAME!! Made me miss everything!!

I HATE FOOTBALL!!!!

 

 

 

Nite Karen!

Hey there Mo and joonie! 

So how was the lights festival? Did ya see any scary lights???

Joonie - How's kittykins??

I am here still, just watching the kitten play with her new toy.

 Finally I keep yelling and no one answers

Oh Well hey!. I didn't go to the festival,too cool for Emma she has a cold

grr cant spell again!

moana39340.8785416667We were wondering if we'd ever see you again Joonie!

You're just SUCH the mother! 

I have been telling the kids not to pick her up. As son likes to pick her up by her neck.

She is very very playful. She will play with a piece of lint

Hubby will not pick her up or touch her. He says he does not like cats. I keep telling him she is a kitten, and he says "same thing."

I did put her on his belly after I gave her a bath and he just looked at her and said "Jump cat" and she jumped down. He is in there telling the kids to stop chasing after her and to stop picking her up. I sounds like he cares about her, but in his own way

 Oh I am so glad you love the coffee Brisen

Joonie do you love your baby? It's so cute!

Brisen hows Christopher? And shoot I missed Karen tonight!

 

 Oh Brisen I didn't know the festival was but for one night hmmm maybe I'll check the paper again and see.

Yeah, she is growing on me, I just keep thinking "What did I get myself into?"

 What did you google to find that Brisen? Of course you can go anytime want but I liked the festival part

Then I clicked on another link and it was about the September festival. I don't remember what days were listed, but it was definitely more than one day.

And you're right...seeing little Emma must be the BEST! I can't wait to become a grandama! It's probably going to be a long time though.

 Trey=don't ask! He put a pretty big dent in his truck this morning hauling a bbq barrel/pit to a party

I'll be glad when all this over for Christopher. Too depressing to be around constantly,bless his heart

I was surprised that it was 10am when daughter came in and the kitten was still asleep. I figured I was going to have to get up early to her meowing to feed her, but she never made a peep. I know, I was listening for her. I heard daughter when they got on the front porch to come in.

Well at least Trey put a dent in his own truck! Last year Christopher put a HUGE dent in the tailgate of hubby's NEW truck! Yep, hubby was kinda pissed!

Eleya did not make it to Homecoming.  She is not feeling well, and she said...why bother.  I feel bad for her.  I know she is disappointed. 

I am glad I got the pictures.  Hubby told me what I am doing wrong with the camera.  I told him it's not me...it's cause he wasn't home to do his job!

 

 Yeah well Trey  totaled his dads brand new truck a few yrs ago and it had 112 miles on it, and you know the rest...

OH I forgot to order my refill for pred today, so I am going to have to take 2.5mg of pred in the morning, instead of 5mg so I will be able to make it to Monday

Ok...so stop with the boys totaling trucks...remember we just adopted a new permit for the BOY!

Well Mo...to even the score, Christopher totaled my Jeep when he was in High School!

Nite everyone!

Hi Shelly! Bye Shelly! Oh FYI! I am not leaving because you smell

 Good night Joonie

Night Joonie...enjoy that little kitty!  Have a good nights sleep. 

Nite Joonie!

 

I had to catch up so I have been reading for a few minutes. 

 Well Brisen I'd say we're even then!

Trey spun around on ice and hit a guard rail, ,199.99 to fix

This is what you havw to look forward to Shelly

He got a letter in the mail today and it said something about 'Loan Documents'. So when he came home on his lunch break today, I asked him what it was. Know what he told me?? He freakin' co-signed on his girlfriend's student loan for school! I'm TOTALLY freaking out here!

I think I babied my kids WAY too long! They don't have a CLUE!OMG!!! Did you not go ballistic??? He's not in school but co-signed for hers? OMG

Ok...so what possessed him to do that?

 

well ladies I am done for...I am just as swollen or more tonight as I was first thing this am.  I am going to bed again!  Love ya both.  TTFN!

 

Hubby co-signed forTrey a brand new Ford F150 Lariat!!!! Whay was he thinking???

I hav NO IDEA what possessed him to do that! Young love, I guess! Freakin' GAG ME!

 Are they that "close" like engaged or something? I would kill Trey if I ever found out

Trey went to a karoke bar last night and won 0.00. He told his sister not me. He's not supposed to be in a bar is what he promised me

And we DO have to look for the positives! LOL

 

 So what you may have is a DIL who hasn't been taught to save her credit name closer than her virginity, and parents who have no money ,so your family will have to foot all the chaos

My girls never did stupid stuff like this. They were born mature

Well do you like you soon to be DIL?

 I have two words for you.....Judge Judy!

When they were little, I'd see some of the trouble that older boys got into, and I'd think 'my boys will never do that, or be like that'. HA! I sure don't say that anymore!

And cut it with the DIL comments already!

 Brisen~ I cannot hold my eyes open any longer, my ambien is in high gear and I didn't have a nap today. I'm going to bed and hope I sleep good tonight! I'll talk to ya tomorrow sometime. OK? Nitey nite sweety petey

I learned to never say "my kid would never do that"! It'll turn around and bite your butt every time
