Good morning ladies. Having my coffee and will have an english muffin (WW) soon. Haven't decided what I will put on it, pb or jelly or cream cheese.
It is still raining here. I think we have around 6 or 7" now. My sump pump is running and that makes me nervous. We have had a flooded basement twice already. Monet, hope your ankle gets better soon. Maybe tape it up before you use the :tread:. I bet yo sell lots of stuff at the show. I would buy something if I were there. I'm sending you all this rain, I am tired of it. Driving is nuts. I also hear that NO is flooded right now. Doesn't make sense. Toni, what a smart idea to take the cake to work and not have it around to tempt you. Subway isn't that bad if you stick to turkey on the ww bread. Sometimes I have that on thursday's when I am gone to meetings all day. Bob, Well I will be pulling for the Vols for sure. I am waiting for my DD to take some pics with her digital camera, not that I will be able to get it on here. May have to send it to you or Monet to post. He got 2 shots and something in his nose for kennel cough. Got his heartworm and frontline treatments too. We have to go back for 1 more then he is good for a year. He was really good though. We went to Pet Smart afterwards to get him a toy and they were having their Halloween Costume Party. it was wild and some of those outfits. I couldn't beleive those dogs would wear that stuff. Better get busy here. Have a great day. :hug: |
It rained last night and is raining this morning. Yay!
I went to water aerobics. The scale is down six since last Wednesday. I am pretty excited! The new meds and the church fast yesterday helped! I need to go unload a bisque kiln and then do some glazing. Tomorrow I will head up to North Georgia, and take some glazed stuff with me to fill her kiln. I may or may not stay over night to get the stuff to bring home. I will check in later! :wave: |
Pound, pound, pound. Thats whats happening here. They're working on the roof today. Good thing we've got a break in the rain. They'll order the tin today and it should be in next Tues. when it comes in. Yippee. I've got to start work in the bedroom because after the roof we're getting new floors put in. I don't know what we're going to do with our house full of stuff when that happens. Oh well not going to worry about that now. I had the rest of my subway sand. for lunch. Glad thats gone. Guess I'll do some laundry today as soon as DH leaves for work. Nothing else its pretty boring.
Solly- I hope the rain stops there. Thats way to much. Think next time I'll try the salad at Subway. Monet- Have a good time. Congrads on the 6 lbs. Thats so good. Time to run...... |
Morning! I am off to north Georgia today. Talk to you tonight!
I hope you all have a wonderful day! :wave: |
More rain today. Its going to rain my roof workers off the job darn it. Its cold here too. My dog Jackson and I are curled up in the chair with a nice warm blanket on us. Guess I'll just work around the house today and then later in the afternoon I go to get DH's birthday cake and surprise him at work. So today will be busy. Just having coffee so I haven't eaten yet. Hope everyone has a good day.
|
Just got in from meetings and it's time to fix my lunch. Cold and windy here today and very dreary. At least the rain has stopped.
Monet, 6 lbs is awesome :dance: Something is working. Tony, keep that raint here today. We have had enough. Hope they can get back on your roof soon. Sounds like you are having a nice remodeling job. Is it just the 3 of us here? Where is everyone? Got to run. Have a great day. :hug: |
I am checking in from North Georgia. Bonnie had to drive into town with her husband to take a car to the shop, then go by and pick up her daughter from school, so I am hanging out on her computer for a while. I feel sleepy so I might go find a place to take a nap!
We got the kiln loaded and on, so there will be nice glazed stuff- hopefully nice- tomorrow. I will have to get it next week because I am not going to stay and wait for it. I will check in tonight when I get home! :wave: |
Well, things have slowed down a bit over the last week. Started on Saturday with not one customer and this week, its friday and I am at a grand total of $40 for the week! :fr: But I have my rent paid for the month and my utilities and our little town has a monthly publication that is quite popular put out by the Chamber of Commerce and I joined last week and will have a coupon in it for the next three months! So, we'll see if that generates some business. Scary thing is that a lot of the customers I've done so far have said, "I'll see you in the spring!" because they to go Florida for the winter. I hope it doesn't die off too bad!
Toni, MOnet, Solly, Bob and everyone...I will give you better replies when I have a chance. I have to go get Kyle's lunch made and get him up for school. We have a PTO Halloween party tonight. I just am hating Halloween this year. Shelley always gets these wild ideas for costumes and makes me feel like a horrible mother because I can't figure out ways to help her make the idea work. I'm SO not creative with costumes like other moms. I'm so much more interested in getting a $20 package deal at Target and considering myself done. So, she wants to be a dead prom queen this year. First of all, something about me being a mom, I think, has me not really interested in seeing her looking dead. Secondly, that requires a gown to be town and destroyed, an up-do to be done at 5:30 in the morning and then messed up, and all these weird things that will end up costing a ton of time and money. Kyle is Jengo Fatt from Star Wars. Cost $20...put him in his body suit, put on the belt, put on the helmet and its done. Shelley...not so much....every year has to be some weirdness. She wants me to get a fake knife, cut it in half and stick it to her back to look like a jealous girl killed her. I'm just not liking it at all. And she's making me feel like a totally lame mom for not getting on board and helping her. I had a beautiful Geisha outfit in my hand last night at Target and I could put her hair in a neat bun, spray paint it black and put in some chop sticks...paint her face white and make it look totally cool...but she wants to be this gruesome thing and I just hate it. Sigh... Anyhow...off to make lunch and get the boy up...TTFN!! |
MORNING EVERY BUDDY!!!
I got up with a sick headache this morning, so here I am! Luckily, there is only one DOC in today, so it won't be busy. JACKIE....keep your fingers crossed on Saturday....we play THE VISOR MAN....I'm pretty certain that we won't get an invite to ANY bowl game this year, but a win would still be nice! What are your plans for the weekend??? KRIS...We suffer from the same SIX MONTH SICKNESS....Your customers are down here now, and my customers come to you after April. SEASON IS **** ON WHEELS!!! You'll be fine....why don't you promote a special....if the Parent comes in for service, you'll cut the Kid for free? You don't have to do that for the whole Winter season, but it will draw in the people! By doing the Parent, you still make $$$....Just a thought... I don't envy you with the costume thing...I couldn't come up with one if I had to....When the Kiddo's do get their GARB, but sure to post a picture. I'll be anxious to see.... MONET....Hope you had a good productive trip to NO GA....Did you find a place to lay your weary head? A nap is always good...I take it you got your car back...HOW BOUT THE RAIN....Did you get any more? I'm prepared to send you some if you need it! TONI....HOW DID THE BIRTHDAY CAKE SURPRISE GO????? I know Jackson is probably loving it when y'all cuddle up in that chair. Do he get spastic with all the hammering that's going on? OH....Last night was liver night....and man were my chicken livers good!!!!! Kate said hers was especially wonderful!!! Nothing like a good AMISH SUPPER!!! I better get off here....I'll check in a little later! BOB |
Morning! I am waiting on my friend to come for coffee. I ought to go put the water on. :) I just got an email when I woke up...late...that she is coming over today. She is going out of town for a number of weeks next week, so it is fine with me, I am just surprised.
I did great in no. Georgia. I threw bottles and closed forms for Bonnie to play with. She had a picture of a lidded pig jar made that way she wanted to try. She is doing carving on pots, and her work is incredible! Just incredible! I can't wait for her to finish it and see how it sells. TECH: Good to see you! Please don't be a stranger! We miss you. I know how you feel about the weird costume ideas. Sounds Goth to me. I had to keep my mouth shut when my daughter went to a concert last weekend in a purple corset, and flooffy skirt with knee high black boots. She is married, and not my responsibility. Her sister had on thigh high boots with buckles. She is married too. They would both probably think the dead prom queen was a cool idea. :rolleyes: I think you ought to just tell Shelley that the idea gives you the creeps and you just CAN'T help her with it. It is time she learned that Mom is an individual with feelings, and opinions that are just as valid as her own. BOB: I got my car back on Monday afternoon. Guess I forgot to mention it. It sure is nice to drive it with no gas smell! And I can fill it up again. Send the rain. We need it. They say we need twice as much as our normal rainfall to catch up after two years of serious drought. A hurricane would do. Opal dropped tons of water on us...that is what we need to catch up. TONI: How did the surprise go? |
Good morning and Happy Friday.
It has been a long week and I am ready to end it. No big plans for the weekend. DH was supposed to work at the UofL game tomorrow and his work got cancelled. I had made plans to take my oldest DD to lunch and shopping since I thought he would be gone all day. So I guess we will go ahead and he can stay home with the dog and watch football. Monet, I think I would still have to express my opinion even though they are married. And I do. Plus they have no problem telling me what I am wearing in not appropriate so I figure it goes both ways. Glad your trip to No Ga went so well. Is your firend selling things at the craft fair with you? Tech, sorry business is so slow. I bet it will pick up. I like the idea of the coupon. Hang in there. At least you have your rent money. I feel for you on the costume. I have always hated Halloween for that same reason. I cannot ever come up with ideas and then when they do, I have no idea how to make it. I am not talented at all and do not think out of the box. I always went for the easy things, like a devil or rabbit where you only have to buy the ears. Keep in touch. Bob, no big plans, getting my hair done in the morning. Trying to decide to go brown or stay with the red. The red fades so quickly and now it is blond. I probably won't like a change anyway. Read my intro on the rest of my plans. Going to be a quiet one. Cleaning and grocery shopping. I will be pulling for the Vols. I sure hope you beat visor man. My SIL is a huge fan too, so I have to pull for them. I am even pulling for his red Sox now. Toni, Did you husband like your surprise? Hope it all went well. |
GOOD LATE AFTERNOON EVERY BUDDY!!
Went down to the DOC and got a heavy duty medication for my headache. I never get headaches, and haven't had one of these since COLLEGE!!! I was told NOT TO DRIVE, and now I can see why....I've been in LALA LAND all afternoon. Slurred speach, stagering...etc....It's like I drank a quart of liquor! I'm better now, but KATE has been watching me since I took it. They gave me an excuse to take to work on Monday so it proves that I was there and not just sluffing off. Supper will be left over LIVER for both of us....chicken livers for me, liver and onions for KATE....I'll throw in a salad and we'll be set. Going to pick up some fresh asparagus tomorrow ($1.39) and put it in the steamser. That's really cheap for down here. Don't know what I'll put with it, but I'll find something....maybe some grilled chicken. MONET....So glad your car is fixed...nothing worse than smelling gas all the time! I'm surprised you didn't have a headache beause of it. Isn't it just amazing how they can find MORE stuff to fix????? How many miles have you got on that TOYOTA now? How's KALEB?????? NEW PICTURES???? It's raining here now. My YARD MAN came and cut the grass, and the minute he was done, the heavens opened up! I'll see if I can't send some your way. Any plans for the weekend????? TONI??????? CAKE?????? HOW'D IT GO?????? Here are your movice picks for the weekend: THE NUMBER 23 GAS MISS POTTER LONELY HEARTS I'm doing laundry....I'll have everything caught up and I will be so happy!!!!! CATCH Y'ALL ON THE FLIPSIDE!!!! . |
I cheated, cheated, cheated. When my friend and I went to pick up the cake we stopped and ate dinner and I didn't do well. Then we took the cake which was a wonderful success and I had a tiny piece of it. So I just blew the whole night. That shows you old habits die hard. Today is a new day. I've got the steaks thawing for dinner. So the birthday boy will have a good dinner with all the trimmings. Its rainy and cool here. Darn I dread winter.
Tech- Hope business picks up. I know it takes awhile to get established. We had a cafe and the 2nd year was so much better than the first. Its great you've got your rent paid. Maybe its just the end of the month that's going to be slow. Solly- Hope you have a good shopping trip and a nice lunch out. I would love to do that with my kids. Wish they lived closer. Bob- Boy that's awful about the headache. Do you have high blood pressure? Hope that goes away and never comes back. It might be the liver you ate. LOL Monet-Glad your car is fixed. And here's hoping your wonderful stuff comes out of the kiln nice. Guess I'll go try to get something done in this messy house. |
AFTERNOON EVERY BUDDY!!
I'm better today, slept really good last night, but I'm sure that's from the medication that I took. TONI....YES...I have high blood pressure and that's what they think triggered this. I take my meds every day, but I guess the "pressure" wins out sometimes. How'd everything go for HUBBY???? Spill the beans...was he surprised? It's 25 minutes until KICK OFF....we play THE VISOR MAN today....at home so I've got my fingers crossed! I've got to fix some breakfast....or should I say BRUNCH???? I'll check in later! BOB |
Hello everyone! I got up this morning, glazed and loaded the kiln, and got it going. Tom is taking me out for dinner tonight. We have not decided where yet.
I am snacking on a bowl of plain popcorn. I love the salty crunchy stuff... I better go see who Georgia is playing today so BOB doesn't disown me. :wave: |
