It's really weird to come on here early and be the first one to post for the day. I have NEVER been a morning person.
Maybe since my husband now works days and
no longer comes home from work at midnight and expects me to entertain him for 3 hours it's not so bad to wake up in the mornings now. Especially when I have coffee...
Cristi - ya got me! I almost fell outta my chair! And that's all I'm gonna say about that.
I'm sorry you're having a hassle with your former landlord. I wonder...if maybe the delay is because they simply didn't have the money to refund your deposit yet? Maybe they were waiting for some funds to come in, didn't want to admit that they didn't have the cash, and that's why they were stalling? I dunno, but I know that a LOT of our business customers call to say they don't have the money to pay their bills and ask for extentions on their accounts...
Marti - I don't really like Krispy Kremes, because they glaze everything, bleah. My favorite donuts are raised donuts with sugar (regular old granulated sugar) and chocolate cake donuts - some places call them Devil's Food
- with plain chocolate icing, or maybe chopped peanuts. As for fish tacos, I'm in the minority here, but I'd eat them at a good Mexican restaurant. Tacos de Pescado, and they are actually not all that uncommon here, especially in Southern California, and Baja...not with the same fixings as say beef or chicken tacos, sometimes with a vinegar/cabbage slaw or with salsa...the vinegar and cabbage taste isn't all that different than like, British fish and chips with coleslaw. Anyway,
I don't think you are weird for eating them! And I'm glad you got your pretty sparkly ring back from the jeweler
Kayecee, I must have missed something -- how come your hips hurt from walking because of standardized testing???
Is is like...PE testing? Or you are having to walk around the room watching the kids like a hawk while they take their tests?
Susan - is Gaby feeling better? I hated it when my little ones were sick. And when they are too little to realize they have to throw up and get to the bathroom in time....EEK!
One time Mike didn't make it to the bathroom...he was like maybe 4...and he threw up into a huge plastic box of Legos. OMG...it was maybe $300 worth of Legos, and the boys loved them and played with them all the time. And they pleaded, "MOM! Don't throw away our Legos!!!" What could I do? I washed them. With hot, hot
water, and rinsed them with bleach water. I knelt by the bathtub, washing Legos, while my two kids with the stomach flu laid on the bathroom floor, faces somewhere between sickly green and ashen-gray, moaning, "Thanks, Mom..." One of those precious Kodak moments of motherhood.
Jana, I'll be thinking of your and your family this afternoon while you are at the service for Deborah.
I've never used Priceline, but I have used some other online services to compare hotel prices and reviews, like when we went to Monterey.
Angie...I'm lost...you have two sons, Tanner and Brandon? How old are they? Which one acts? Which one is in a band, and what does he play? I have: Erik, 20, in the Air Force in South Dakota; Mike, 18, plays guitar, Senior in High School, and just got a job, yay!; and Noah, 13...hasn't found his place in the world yet. He is learning to play guitar, too...
OK, it's that time, gotta fly!
