Happy Friday everyone!!!!

Just a quick note before dashing off to work. After a stressful week, I'm really ready for the weekend. Starting it off by getting my hair permed right after work. No solid plans for the rest of the weekend. What's going on with y'all this weekend?

Good Morning Girls..

Well yesterday, My Math Teacher called from college. I have not been to my Friday Math class the last three weeks. So upon her calling I let her know that I am just discouraged and that the students are so Rude, that her class starts at 9am and by 915 the loud mouths have got me so upset that I get nothing out of her class. I have commented to the girls more than once to shut the crap up.. but deed Nothing seems to sink in,, So My teacher, wants me to finish the class.. so I will be going today and then Finals next Friday.. What ever Powers to be you girls got,,SEND it my way,, as I need any Help I can get in Math!!! Then I get up at 630 this morning, so I can have time alloted for my coffee, cigarettes and breakfast,, I get up at 8am,, and I am good to go , this 630 stuff is for the birds,, Another reason I dont like my Math class, To early... Take Care All

Hi girlies. That Casting Crowns concert was fantastic last night! Nichole Nordeman and Josh Bates were with them. I bought myself a shirt. My voice is shot today. That's what I get for all my singing and carrying on at the concert. Went to bed after 1. Hope you all have a great day. I need to get ready for work.

TGIF! I only have to babysit for 3 hours this afternoon, and maybe even not that long. I have a memorial service to go to this morning at 10 for my dear aunt, and Jake and I are going for an early evening dinner around 5 to celebrate our anniversary. We decided to go to Red Lobster, so it should be easy to stay OP. We had a good time at the Herr's Snack Factory tour yesterday, and I didn't go off-plan at all. I really think having a big lunch beforehand helped. Our next trip is going to be to a pretzel factory, the girls really seem to enjoy watching how foods are made, and they love getting all the free samples, since they don't get it at home.

Jana ~ It must be a relief to have your car back! Have a great weekend!

MsCrockett ~ Hang in there, you only have a week to go til Finals, then you won't have to put up with those girls anymore. It will be worth it in the long run. Did you enjoy your day with your nephew yesterday?

Bunna ~ Yes, the Cheesecake Factory does have a SF cheesecake, but it would be too hard for me be to satified with that. They must have at least 25-30 different varieties, and I totally adore cheesecake, so it's just best for me to stay far away from there.

Weezle ~ That concert sounded great, I know I would have loved it, too!

all the newbies, and Welcome Back, Jessie!

Fffffrosty here this morning. I should not have to scrape off my windshield on April 28th! Never mind! Soon I'll be crabbing about the heat!

Jana, you sure do need a relaxing weekend after a week like the one you've had. Are your crocuses still in bloom? Mine are finished.

MsCrockett, good for you in standing up to the MAth teacher. Sounds like you have a bunch of yahoos in the class. I wish I could help you with your math but the commute would be a killer.

Lisa, glad you enjoyed the concert. I know what you mean about being hoarse from "participating". A friend and I drove to Toronto to see Hair when it opened in Canada. (I told you I'm old!) We sang the songs all the way home - a five hour drive in January in a Volkswagon without a heater. Yes, we danced on the stage but that's another story.
Today is not the Friday I planned as I have to go to town to work a darn charity BINGO. I wish to heck somebody else would learn the tricky money part! I need to leave at 10:30 and won't be home until 4:30 so my day is pretty well shot. I had hoped to replant the 16 day lilies that Barb and I dug yesterday. Never mind. At least they won't wilt in the sun! MAybe I'll have some energy left to plant them this evening.

The weekend plans? Ha! I have a big Church meeting 9:30 to 3:30 tomorrow followed by a BBQ that's a surprise birthday party. I have to be at the BBQ by 4! (Shhhh....but I am really hoping Lucy goes into labour tomorrow so I can get out of both events. Call me anti-social. Whoops! Just remembered I need to make devilled eggs and a bean salad for the BBQ. Oy vey!

So if y'all don't "see" me much, Google Delta, ON and see if you can spot a blur!

I'm not even going to mention Sunday's schedule.

I hope everyone gets a chance to do some relaxing for me.

Cottage, sorry about your dear aunt's death. I am sure the memorial service will help you feel a bit better. I hope you and DH have a great anniversary dinner at RL. I've not gone there for years so let me know what it's like.

Oh dear! My reminder just popped up that Candice is coming to clean this morning. I won't have time to "talk" to here so will have to let her just do her usual sloppy job. When I had the Pypers here for dinner, I discovered she has never dusted the diningroom chair seats!

I really have to get going.

Ruth~ Perhaps I could talk to the school administrator and see if you can be Paid to tutor.. that would fix that aye? LOL

Cottage~ The day with the nephew was awesome,, he love his "Nonnie" I play on his level, I will wrestle with him in the floor, he is the Hulk and I am spider man,, then we play the gameboy some, then he has a T-ball set and he love anykind of Ball sport.. he is awesome,, He tells me I am his Best Friend, then if he is playing a game and he wants me to play he says. "but Nonnie you are my #1 winner" boy he know just what to say.. He is the apple of my eye.. I believe you gotta get on there level to play with them and for them to listen, as well.. ohhhhh one day I hope to have two of my own, but **** I am 34, and my ovaries are shriveling up LOL
Thank you for asking.

Happy Friday Chickies!!!

Weekend plans? My daughter's communion is in 2 weeks so I have lots of gardening and house preparing to do. Tomorrow the kiddies are going to finish the last 1.2 miles of a Family Marathon. Its soo cool, they logged 25 miles on their own then do the last 1.2 with everyone else that did it. They get the real marathon medal and the real T-shirt. With a little luck, they will learn to love exercise because its fun and not grow up to look like their mom.

MsCrockett, I am so impressed that you were able to say your peace to your math teacher. Its only 1 week to finals and then its all over. Good luck!

Cottagebythesea, have a super time at dinner tonight. I don't know about sugar free cheesecake. I wish you luck whatever you decide!

Jana, I'm sure your hair will be even more beautiful when you're done. Good for you taking care of yourself.

Ruth, on another thread you suggested newbies (like me!) go to a newbie thread, but I couldn't find it. Which one were you pointing us to? Thanks.

Have a happy Friday everyone!!!!

Mornin' chicks. Just a quick hey. I'm running late and still have to eat b'fast, shower and do some last minute cramming for exam at 2:30. I'm not doing P1 today, I need the carbs for brain power so am having oatmeal with blueberries this morning. I'll hop back on P1 tomorrow. Have a great day chickies.

Sheesh! I just talked to Jake, and he's insisting that we should go to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner, since it's our anniversary and we should do something special. He says one non-OP meal isn't going to kill me, and I'm making too big of a deal about it. He wants to go out, have a good meal and a few drinks together, then says I can get right back on track tomorrow. What do you gals think?

I can see clearly now ~ the rain is gone...I can seeeeee alllll obstacles in my way....do dooo deee dooooo.... All this tawk bout concerts singing songs in the days of Yore...have me hummin that one....cuz YAY Finally!!! No Rain today!

Jana: Nuthin like a new Doooo to perk ya up!

Crocky: you sound like a regular Auntie Mame... WHAT 9 AM IS EARLY that's like mid day fer some of us ! That teacher had best learn how to rule her class! Good luck!

Weezie: oooh concerts how fun! How were yer seats? I think the last concert I went to was Sheryl Crow.. love her!

Cottage: sorry to hear about yer aunt... Yer crackin me up girl with going on these day trips to Hersheys, Herrs and next a pretzel factory! Too funnie!

Kmy: That family marathon sounds like a neat idea! Today I'll be weeding in the mud....

Ruth: I need a nap just reading yer schedule! Sigh!!!!

Pearsy: You ACE That exam !!!!!

Anchor: DISH It about these match.com stories!

ok, gotta go refill me and go play in the mud!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cuz it's gonna be a bright bright Sunshining DAY!!! doodeedeeedo!

Schatzi ~ Yeah, all these day trips to factory tours! I'm just getting desperate for finding things to do with the kids! Once the warmer weather is here to stay, it won't be so bad, we can be outside more and won't be so bored.

jana - Have a great weekend and do relax! That's what the weekend is for.

MsCrockett - I will have you know that 34 is not too old (although I did have some fertility issues). Brian was born when I was 34. Of course the thought of having another now that I am 43 is just terrifying! And I've come to enjoy sleeping through the night.

weezle - That sounds like a lot of fun! I can remember many years ago screaming myself hoarse at a Styx concert when I was in high school.

cottage - If you can't convince your husband to go to Red Lobster then I say study the menu first at the Cheesecake Factory and choose as close to OP as you can. If you do decide to eat a dessert that isn't OP, try to stick to the three bite rule. And enjoy yourself if you are going to eat it.

Ruth - Busy as always. Have a great day!

kmy68 - My son's school did Marathon Kids this year for the first time but we just didn't manage to get the jogging done. I think he probably did it but didn't keep track well enough. Look in the Frequently Asked Question section for the Newbie thread. If you can't find it, just post and I'll go get the link but there are lots of good stickies in that section.

pear - good luck on your exam!

Schatzi - Send some of that sun this way! Right not I'm not sure how our garage sale will work. The rain is predicted to last until around 9 tomorrow morning. We might be able to have it if we start late. Otherwise, I'll have to reschedule with the church where we are having it and that may be tough.

We had a meeting yesterday at the school where the Intermediate REACH program is being held next year. All the 4-6th grade Talented/Gifted kids in the school district will go there for one full day each week. They have three teachers in three connected classrooms with lots of great things for the kids to do. It does look like more work but the challenge will be good for Brian. During Primary REACH, he has had it at his own school but this will be better, I think.

Cottage: I say GO and have a wonderful anniversary! They have a fairly extensive menu so I'm sure you can find things that won't be too off plan! And well, if you indulge a bit... just get right back to it the next day!

Just a quick peck-in, plan on spending most of the day outside in the sunshine! Yippee, there is some!

Not much going on here, I am glad for a weekend!
