Morning Ladies!
Did you all forget me again??? I'm still around (and still round).
Jeff pinched a nerve in his neck Monday, so he was laid up from work til today; actually he was sitting at the computer for three solid days, except to moan his way to bed at night; for some reason this computer chair was just SOOOOO comfy to his little neck. So I couldn't get to the puter to post--I didn't have the heart to shove him out of the chair, with a bad neck and all. Anyway, he moaned his way out the door this morning, so I jumped to the chair and discovered I can't keep up with all I missed. I guess you all have all reached goal now, without me....
That's okay--I'll catch up!! I figure I'll be at goal before my first SS check comes.
Mama's puter is broken, I see; I hope she gets back soon. I wonder if she got the ice & snow stuff the last few days. Did she say how the weather is for her, Skeeter? It's still hot here--67 right now, but supposed to get breezy and cooler as the day goes on. Not that cold, though, considering the time of year. I think our low will be 33 tonight. Makes me wonder if it's going to snow in April this year, since we seem to have skipped winter.
Jen, looks like you got some snow, didn't you? I've always had nurse-envy. I think since I was about 4, I wanted to be a nurse. I don't know why I didn't major in it in college--I had a full scholarship so my education didn't cost my parents a penny....so I majored in English! I loved it, and still do, but can't do much with it, except teach, and I don't have the constitution for that. I tried it one year, and didn't last. Here, the nurses with BSNs make a lot more than ones without degrees. Will you get a nice big raise when you graduate?
Hi Skeeter! How're the animals? Our bettas are doing great; they seem to build nice little bubble nests all the time, so I guess they are happy little guys. I wish I could donate blood or something; I'm always anemic, though; even on iron pills. Maybe after menopause, I'll have some blood left to donate!
I'm thru having kids, this stuff can quit working anytime it wants to, as far as I'm concerned. I told my ob/gyn to take it out since I was done with it, but he declined, for some reason.
Moonstone, I'm so glad to meet you! Always nice to have new folks. I'm a late mother, also--I had my two when I was 34 and 35; they are now 8 and 9. I figure they will turn into teens about the time I hit menopause, so there could be bloodshed in a few years. They are good little mutts, though, all in all. I love Moonstones, too! My very first pierced earrings when I was 15 (only ten years ago
) were moonstones. Such a pretty color!
Hi Tobey Girl--your winter came back with a vengence, didn't it? Hope you made it home okay; I remember we had a snowstorm (well, for us) one year and it took me 8 hours to get home from downtown, which should have been a 20 minute drive. We don't plow here, obviously
and I think we have one sand/salt truck, but they never have any sand/salt to put in it. In other words, we just stay home. My hubby grew up in Buffalo, and he gets real puzzled when it "snows" here and the world stops.
JoJo, how's it going? How's hubby doing? Hope it's going okay for you all. I gave Jeff a digital camera for Christmas last year; he loves it, but I've never learned to work it! It confuses me. I'm not real mechanical, anyway. Stay warm!
MaryBeth, my Zilla sister! You've done so wonderful!! Our WW at work group has dwindled down to nothing (and I don't mean weight-wise!) . I bet they don't have another one after this 10 weeks ends. But I still have all the materials, so I will carry on at home. I hope your job works out the way you want it to.
I've been on here toooooo long, folks; better go get the mutterinas up for school. Love you all, and I'll try to get back over the weekend but you know how that goes!
I'm up for another challenge too, if you all want to do one; we need something, I think; let me know!
Love, Sally
