  • Happy Monday Y'All

    Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Did you do anything fun, special, exciting?

    We hit a party on the weekend and then did the normal chores and such.

    Whats shakin ?

  • HI everyone!

    I'm struggling a bit this week, so not much to say, but I am lurking...!

    Hope everyone is well - miss you guys!

    Heather
  • Hi everybody,

    Heather, I wish I had a good juicy story to tell you so that the lurking would be more exciting, but alas, you may have to settle for my rambling about my new doggies. Hang in there! Hope your dad is doing OK.

    And BUDDLY, YOUR NOT DEAD! THAT'S GREAT! Good to here from you! A part time job, that sounds good. Hope that works out and you like it. It can be good to get out sometimes and if your like me, it helps to kind of be forced by a work schedule.

    Well, I don't think I've said yet? but we got a new dog Saturday night. We are still getting the 2 on Friday, but this will be a third. (Are we crazy?) She is also a rescue Pomeranian and is between 8 and 12 yrs old. We don't know her history except her owner had to go to a nursing home and the family took her to the pound. She is solid black, 11 lbs and we named her CoCo. She is so sweet and loves to play. I can't imagine somebody giving her away. She was instantly right at home and was belly up on the couch sleeping. The house breaking I'm working on. I don't know if she was before, but she has been in a kennel for 4 months and outside all day so she could just go all day. Hopefully she is a fast learner or rememberer (is that a word?).

    I also, don't faint, went shopping for a suit today so that I can go on interviews. They will of course have to be altered because there is a general belief that short people only get so fat, so there is no need for larger petite sizes, right?

    This is getting too long. Tonight is pool, so off to kick some redneck booty!

    What y'all doing?
  • Good Morning,

    I get a breather today, boss man isn't here

    Hope congrats on the puppies and new suit...you go girl. My friend has 5 dogs and a cat. Her girlfriend works as a volunteer at a local shelter....enuf said LOLOL. So no, I don't think your nuts.

    Heather so sorry your in a funk lately...I hope it ends soon. Boy we can all relate. I'm glad you popped in to say hello....this way we won't worry to much

    Well today is wednesday isn't it. I have a ton of writing to do here and my brain just doesn't want to settle down to do it

    Other than that, sosdd...still making poor choices with food and exercise has been nil. Its like the more I think about these things, the worse I get... what the heck?

    Anyhoooooo....today's a new day...and I'll try once more.

    Have an awesome day chickies..... remember we love you.

  • Hi all!
    Its kind of quiet in here this week.

    Hope, Boy oh boy, three new addiditions at once! Holy cow! At least all the craziness will happen at once and you definately will not have a dull moment. Hope they all adjust quickly. I could never work at a shelter as I'd be constantly bringing something home Congrats on the new suit. My daughter has the same problem with finding clothes(she's 5'3", 180lbs with a 40DD chest), thats one reason she had me make her prom dress. Right now we are having problems finding her decent shirts. The ones she likes don't come big enough and the ones big enough are to matronly or just plain ol ugly!! I found a nice simple pattern with a few variations, so when we get home we will go out and find some material she likes.

    Heather I hope you feel better soon, keep your chin up

    Leenie, glad to hear you got a bit of a break. Did I read that your daughter has already started school? We don't start until after labour day here. And I'm sure you'll get the food and exercise thing figured out, it takes some of us longer than others to find our place.

    Well we are off tomorrow until next Wednesday. Going to visit my dad while the girls go to an anime convention. Then stop and see hubby's parents. I sure hope we have nice summer weather. Oh and tonight we went over to the house that the girls were house sitting at, when we got home all our pea plants were gone!! So we went over to the garden to investigate and the footprints tell the tale....obviously a mommy moose had a feastie of peas while a baby got nice brussel sprout plants and colrabi. We were only gone about 45 minutes and the garden was intact when we left, so they were probably just in the bush having a laugh at us trying to figure out what the heck happened. Darn critters! At least they left the lettuce, beets and turnips, unless thats for tomorrow?

    Well, have a great week and take care everyone,
    K
  • Hi Ladies,

    Buddly good to see you. My DD starts school after labor day, I think its September 6th to be exact. ... Mommy Moose ?? ROFL are they dangerous? we tend to get alot of black bear here and they are extremely dangerous especially if they have cubs. I used to walk my dog at 5 AM but to many sightings of them scared the crap out of me. Now DH walks the dog LOLOL.
    I have a hard time with clothes too, I'm tall and the shirts in the stores are cut for the short heavier woman rather than the tall heavy woman LOL...as my lovely friend says it...they don't carry giraffe sizes LOL.

    Well we went to see Hairspray today...it was cute. John Travolta made the movie so funny to me. Queen Latifa (sp?) was good too.

    Well girlies....ttyt

  • Hi Ladies.

    I had a scare early this morning:

    I was in the bedroom, cutting my toenails, and lotioning (just had a bath) and I heard this BANGING. I thought it was DH coming home a little bit early. So I hurried and got dressed and ran to the door only to find that the doorknob was UNlocked! But the deadbolt and the little thingy that goes over the door (like they have in hotels) was still locked.

    I looked outside and DH was not home, as the car was not there and I even looked out the back door.
    DH then called stating he is on his way home and told me I should call the cops only what if it was the neighbors door or something? (they live right next door) But I KNOW for a fact that the doorknob was locked when DH left for work and he said he even checked it before leaving and I have not been anywhere.

    Everything was/is okay. DH looked around outside when he first came home this morning and said he didn't see anything. He did change the lobby lightbulbs outside our apt. So at least it won't be dark out there.

    It did scare me but afterwards I calmed down.

    Well I just tried the old light bulbs from the lobby that DH just changed out cuz he said they didn't sound like they were burnt out and they aren't. So there is something else wrong with that light out there and the landlord/owners will hear about it and they better get to fixing it!

    OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My DH just told me that a co-worker and his friends got jumped lastnight and our co-worker is in the hospital with his jaw wired wire shut!!!!!!!!!! He's going to be out all week!!!!!!!!!!

    This world is getting scarier and scarier I tell you!!!!!!!!!

    Take Care everybody and BE SAFE!

  • Yikes Sassy! How scary! Glad you are ok. I'm afraid of stuff like that all the time. I try to take all the precautions I can, but you never know. I watch too many crime TV dramas however, that's why I think it's on my mind so much.
    Be safe, gotta run unexpectedly.
  • Thanks Hope.

    Yeah I watch all of those too and also Horror flicks so those starting playing in my mind too. Esp the one where the guy is already in the house! Oh Boy I guess I should just shut up already.........lol

  • Good Morning

    I have to run b/c DD has a birthday party at chucky e cheese but I just wanted to say hello to my favorite gals in the world.

    I am having a bocca wrap for breakfast (egg) not bad, not bad at all. I thought it would be icky but its pretty good for what it is LOL.

    Sassy I'm glad your safe and your not kidding thats scary, I would have been shaking.

    Have a blessed day everyone...

    Leenie
  • TY Leenie, I'm glad I'm safe too and I was shaking!!!! lol.

    It is real scary to think about what happened to our co-worker.

    Seems like the world has gone mad.

  • Bah - still lurking... it's a bad month.

    Sassy - stay safe! Everyone -

    Heather
  • Hi Girlies,

    Come out come out where ever you are. Its a rainy dreary day here in NJ...better days are ahead

    Whats new friends? whats going on in your world?

    .
  • Here I am!

    Want to hear a good one courtesy of myself? You know how I have been pushing and looking for new dogs? Well I got them and had major panic attacks and crying fits and had to take them all back. That's what I've been dealing with the past few days. I think they reminded me of my pets that I lost this year and I just couldn't take it. I've never gone down hill so fast before. I feel so guilty about it, but I felt like the world was coming to an end and I just had to get them out of the house. I did not see this one coming at all because I couldn't wait to get them. Oh well.

    I wonder if I should ask the doctor for some severe anxiety meds in case this happens again. My girlfriend takes clonapin (sp?) when she feels an attack happening. My hope is that this was isolated to the dogs and not just stress b/c I plan to interview soon and I need to at least pretend to be stable.

    What's up with everybody else? If you've done anything crazy lately that would make me feel better, I'd love to hear about it!
