Oh my goodness I can see! I had no idea what those smilies actually looked like!

Do you like the dancing carrot any better?

Well, truthfully, it does have more personality now. And yet, somehow I don't like it any better....

I also had to clean up my computer desk to swap out the monitors and now my puter tower is on my desk instead of under it where it can collect dust and dog hair. That's a good thing, although I now have 2 piles of junk to go through. Blah.

How's trix, Wab?

I'm contemplating applying for a seasonal call center job with LLBean. Any of you ever do call center crap? It would only be incoming calls, but still..

Kiwi

Everybody knows trix are for kids, Kiwi, and I'm not a kid anymore.

Hmmmm. what is new? hmmmm..... nuttin' I guess. Wish I could tell you otherwise. With DH gone I feel like I should do something exciting or different. Yesterday I cleaned out the fridge. That was different.... can't really say it was exciting.

That's what I've had on my list for several days: cleaning out the refrigerator. It's too boring to do. It is so gorgeous outside today I feel like I should go kayaking or something (but that would require hauling out the kayak...sounds like work). What I'm really doing is sitting in front of the puter backing up my hard drives and photos. How exciting.

Tomorrow is rodeo day. I'm eating now b/c it will probably be too uncomfortable to wear those d*mn jeans and eat any food. I'm really not looking forward to this. I'm driving up w/ 2 guys that work for us, their wives and our friend who lost her DH earlier this year. It will be very emotional and I just don't know what to do for her. It just breaks my heart. She tries so hard to keep it together, but isn't doing too well at all. She doesn't work outside the home so she has way too many long hours.

It's been gorgeous here, too, Kiwi, but the clouds moved in yesterday and it looks like rain now. Perfect weather to match my mood. I think the call center job sounds like a good idea.... and the good thing about it is that it's seasonal. It's going to be a long winter, toots. The dark gets long and the daylight gets short. bleeeh.

Schatzi, get back here. We need cheering up.

Hope it's more fun than you're anticipating!

I'll bet your friend will enjoy the time out with you all. A little socializing can work wonders when you spend too much time alone (not speaking from experience, or anything ).

Our weather changed too. Gorgeous yesterday, raining today. And I cleverly spent the whole day inside in front of the computer. Except for the time I spent shampooing the dog pee smell out of the back of the Explorer. That was fun. Seriously, that was fun.

Kiwi

Wabby, forget how you think you look, and just have a GREAT TIME!!!!Never been to a rodeo, but men in tight jeans with big belt buckles and hats can't be bad atall!

It's been raining here for the last two days... I just finished making the "girls" dinners for when we go away... one night stew meat, chicken and hotdogs... I bought some dog food that's suppose to look like hamburger and cheese... Darby sniffed it and then Rolled on top of it... LOL! I guess she told me what she thinks bout that! and Casey sniffed, pinned her ears back and stared at me He heeeeeeeeeh! ah well, they be my childrens!
Would you believe I spent about 5 minutes this morning trying to get out of porno sites??? All those bloody pop ups and stuff, I honestly don't know how I got tangled up in them!

Kiwi, I have become a recluse since moving here... It's a good thing I'm a bit of a nester and like myself but I am really looking forward to seeing Asheville, and the train ride.. Will take pics ... be back on Monday....

Must go clean the crack house, and iron my mu mus...

Where is Sug??? And Peachy??? and Painty???? And Cherry????? And Bagzz???? And Frappe?????

Cows gone Missin!--not to be confused with Cows Gone Wild... hmmm, a potential thread name for the future eh?

P.S. Congrats on the new monitor Kiwi! And I still hate the Wanna just smash it ...Where's a shotgun smilie when you need one?

Can Anyone tell that I am procastinating on cleaning? I'm looking for a good cow to amuse me and give me an excuse ....

Since I have gained a coupla lbs (they sleep next to me) I am ashamed to speak to you lovely heifers. I have this soap opera on and the guy who's married to the mom and doing something naughty with the daughter, just told the mom, "I want to touch you. With my hands and hold you." Do they rehearse these things?

Am glad rodeo days are here and Kiwi is going to LL Bean so I can get a family discount. I am giving up my former sisterhood with Lush and attaching it to Kiwi now. This makes our kids cousins. That's good, too.

Kiwi, your sister reminded me... LL Bean call center sounds fun... The people I have dealt with there have been most helpful..no high pressure sale tactics, helpful on sizing, etc.... Much Better than a call center at an insurance co where most are problems that make people irritable and nasty as they project all on to the poor customer service person... I say go for it!

Of course it will be fun!!!! As soon as I get there and forget about myself a little bit. I love the people and most of them we only see once a year. I wouldn't care so much but DH is still so darn purdy, I feel like I need to match him.

Peach! let me be the first to welcome you and your extra pounds. You know misery loves company when it comes to lardo.... and I have plenty of lardo to keep yours company. Don't watch soap operas. The ppl are too pretty and worried about stupid superficial things. Has anyone seen the show on TLC called The Messengers? It's kind of an American Idol for spiritual speakers. I just caught the last show and it was very good. I wish I would have seen the entire season.

So good to hear my wabby will just git her cowgirl on! YeeHa! ( insert pretty girl with swinging lasso on brahma bull smilie here)

I am shallow and like Project Runway, Miami Ink, Deadliest Catch, Little People, Top Chef- I know, Buzzkill , sorry darlin Wabby..
