Good morning, Happy - Wishing you a wonderful birthday and a great year full of happiness and celebrations!!!

Good morning chicks. Not going to be a banner birthday for me I'm afraid. 3 straight nights of not enough and very disruptive sleep because of the bad storms that have been rolling through here have gotten to me. I doubt I've gotten 4 hours of sleep each night. I am tired, very crabby and my stomach hurts. Word to the wise - keep a wide berth around me today. Sorry to be a downer but I'm just so freaking tired...

Happy Soaking Hump Day...I AM SICK OF RAIN. We had storms all night long, same as Happy, but I believe they are in for far worse than I.

HAPPY...happy happy birthday to you, my friend. I wish you everything your heart desires...at this moment ...I am sure it is sleep!! Take a honk shu!!

Shaddie...what a wonderful 5 days off you had with R. Now back to the grind...yuk. Need to hit the lottery...DDs morning (actually all day) sickness has lightened up since I told her to go off the prenatal vits and take Flintstones Complete. She can now keep a bit of food down and not nauseas. Flintstones Complete are the very best for anyone, not just kids, as a matter of fact that is the vitamin prescribed to me after bariatric surgery.

Hello to all you chickies out there from the ducks in Indy..Quack quack..not to mention all the worms on the sidewalks. Makes me want to go fishing.

Will try to check back later, gotta get to decorating for our admin as it is administrative professionals day here in the states.

Loves and hugs.

Good morning ladies -

I'm really glad it's Wednesday. The weekend is getting closer. Yay! DMIL went to her sister's and will be back on Monday. DH is going to a car show with his buddy on Saturday. So I'm trying to decide how I'm going to spend an entire day to myself. I've got a gift card for a massage, so I'll probably see if I can schedule it for Saturday.

I'm looking forward to doing the water aerobics class tonight and getting some endorphins!

Ceejay - Did your uncle reschedule his trip to Branson? The flooding is so bad down there that my DH's company's branch office in Kennett is closed due to flooding and may relocate to New Madrid. Good luck with the car repairs tomorrow.

Mel - I hope the election canvassing and voting goes smoothly, and that the office drama and jealousy and senior drama all settles down.

Shad - I'm so glad you had a nice visit with R. Smart thinking to remove your hard drives before donating or dumping your PCs. If the drives are in working order, DH transfers the files to the new computer. If the drives are not viable (can't write to or read off of them), a good way to make them hack proof is to drill a few holes in various parts of them.

Happy - I'm so sorry to hear that you're tired and crabby on your birthday. I hope you get some sleep tonight. Have you tried chamomile tea or something else that's equally relaxing that might help you sleep through the bad weather? I can totally relate. In late May/early June when the weather radio alarm is going off every 30 minutes, it makes for a very disruptive night's sleep. I hope you get to sleep early tonight.

Annie - I'm tired of the rain too. It rained hard yesterday. So far so good today, but we've got rain in the forecast for today, tomorrow and Saturday. Thanks for the tip about Flintstones Complete. I'm glad your DD is doing better after she switched her vitamins.

I'm tired already...this may be a 2 cup of coffee day.

A big to all!

Love and hugs,

Happy
Have a good birthday dispite all the tornado warnings and flash floods due to the rain.

Michelle
I still haven't heard if my uncle went to Branson.


We had another bumpy night and starting out this way. I'm like the other's I'm TIRED of the RAIN. We had street flooding over night. The power was out in my area last night. I was to tired to care last night. I don't know if it went off or not. My neighbor stayed with me. I'll ask her.
I'm canceling my doctor's appointment for tomorrow in Jonesboro. I'd planned on spending the night with my bff but I just don't trust the roads with all the flooding we have had. They haven't said anything about Big Lake but I'm sure it's up to the bridge. Plus the bridge over the St Francis river is probably flooded. It's all in low lying area's.

I'll try to catch up later. Have a good day.

DDs Doc appt went well. She stopped in here at work to show me the ultra sound pix. Just a tiny little peanut. Confirmed 7 weeks pregnant. They didn't give her a due date yet. They are letting the cervix ride till 15 weeks, then they will examine her every two weeks from that point. If there are any changes in the cervix then they will put the stitch in to keep her closed. That's all for now.

Morning all. Just a quick hello. Busy week for me. Will have to do a major catch up at some point, just don't know when. Tomorrow & Fri are full with software demos, so I doubt I'll have time during the day. Tonight's the movie, tomorrow night is an exercise class.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY!!


Hellos to the rest of ya's.

Tonight the movie is "Hanna" which is some sort of action movie with a teenage trained assassin. On second thought, I might have something better to do with my time. I might bow out at the last minute.

TTFN!

Ceejay and Happy - Stay safe and dry.

Annie - I'm so glad DD's doc appt went well!

Laura - Have fun with the software demos! Are you presenting the demos or in the audience? "Hanna" didn't look all that compelling to me either. I'm sure you'll find something better to do tonight.

Hi all,
Spent the last 2 hours sitting in interior conference rooms again. I think the storms are finally leaving all though the weather conditions are very condusive to pop up storms.

Thank you for all the great birthday wishes.

Hoping for all the best for Sissy and the little peanut Annie. Hope it is a quiet, uneventful pregnancy. Have you decorated the nursery yet? I'll bet you are itching to go

Annie
Glad the DD had a good Doctor's appointment.

Laura
Don't work to hard this week.

Mel
Where are you today?

I've cancelled my dr's appointment for tomorrow. One of the guy's was going to J today to take some parts over there. He said they were closing the St Francis bridge.

Morning all, 'tis still morning although I have been up and about for a while I haven't got to work yet. Had to go and pick up DS2 and his mad mate from the airport and they got done over in customs and it took two hours for them to get out. I was wondering whether they got done and had been slammed in the pokey. But eventually I got hold of them. Apparently mad mate just doesn't listen to advice. He got stroppy with the man in Bangkok and it followed him all through Singapore and into Brisbane. Don't they realise that customs officers talk to each other? But then again mad mate is 37 going on 13 so I suppose that explains it.

Haven't got time to talk at the moment, I'm at home and I need to log into work and get started on some changes that need to be made and update some doco. I'd better get on with it. Will be back during the day to do personals as I can.

GOOD MORNING CHICKLETTES
YESTERDAY'S ELECTION WENT WELL AND I TOOK AN HOUR & A HALF BREAK. I WAS A GOOD GIRL. A LOT OF SENIORS APOLOGIZING TO ME FOR THEIR BEHAVIOR AND EVEN JOHN. WE HAD A HUGE FIGHT. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE ALL THIS US COMING FROM OTHER THAN NTHE SENIORS REACTING TO THE CHILDISH BEHAVIOR OF STAFF MEMEBERS. MUST HAVE BEEN SOMETHING IN THE AIR! NEST TIME I AM GOING TO BURN A POUND OF PIOT NEAR THE VENTILATION SYSTEM AND THEY'LL ALL BE HAPPY CAMPERS!

I SAW THE BIG BOSS YESTERDAY. HE IS SENDING ME A FRIEND OF HIS TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIND A WAY AROUND THE INS.OBLEM AND WHAT'S KEEPING ME FROM A NEW CHAIR. NOT PINNING ANY REAL HOPES IN THIS WHIKLE THE GOVT IS AXING COSTS LIKE MAD. BUT I'LL COOPERATE JUST IN CASE HE CAN WORK A MIRACLE!

I AM TIIRED FROM DRAMA & ELECTION AZZ KISSING SO AM TAKING THE DAY OFF. MY CHEEKS HURTS FROM HAVING TO SMILE ALL DAY AND TELLING LIES WITH A STRAIGHT FACE

GOING BACK TO READ YOUR POSTS AND THEN REPLY.

SHAD....HAPPY TO HEAR YOUR BIRTHDAY WENT SO WELL. MUST HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE R FOR CELEBRATING. I HAD A LAUGH AT THE DS2'S FRIEND....BUT I KNOW IT'S NOT FUNNY AND CAN GET PEOPLE INTO BIG TROUBLE. AIRPORTS CAN BE SCARY PLACES WHEN THE "GUARDS" GET ANGRY!! ESPECIALLY IN FOREIGN PLACES TELL DS TO STAND FAR AWAY FROM THE FRIEND WHEN IN LINES WITH HIM!!!!

Good Morning Chicklets...shuweeee survived the winds and rains, but nothing as devastating as all the tornados in the southern states...prayers for them.

MELLIE...glad the election is over and all is good. You might want to check into a political career...all the smiling while telling lies, you would fit right in with the Obama crowd. lol

Happy...has the weather calmed down for you now? Yikes you are pretty close to all those tornados.

Ceejay...good idea to reschedule your doc appt. Better safe than sorry.

Shaddie....stubborn men...can't think past their noses....maybe he learned a lesson? Maybe not? Hope the doco is going well and getting it done.

Hidee ho to all the rest of yuns.

Head is pounding, teeth hurt, eyes swollen....allergies and sinus crap going on, but I refuse to give in to it. Drug city here!!

Have a marvelous THursday...I am taking tomorrow off to get some things done around the house....hope it doesn't rain as my yard needs cutting.

Love and hugs.

MORNIN' MELLIE>>>sneaker inner you.....stay out of trouble today!! hugs.
