Happy belated birthdays to Jen and Meadow’s DD. Did you have a fun celebration?
Oh man, I was just going through the last of the January thread and I just saw Carla’s post about spending February in a Flophouse in Flatbush (Shades of Sylvester the cat)

Not too late to change the thread though I think I might mess up the rest of the crew who are making their way to South America at the moment.
Well my Bears did not play like the championship team that they were supposed to be and so they lost. Pity.

But I decided that I ate less Superbowl munchies when sitting glumly on the couch so that was a good thing.

I only watched part of the half time show. Billy Joel looks very old as do many of the rockers. Eddie Van Halen is on the cover of some magazine this month. I did a double take when I saw it. He used to be such a hottie and he looks absolutely wretched. All the years of drinking and smoking have taken their toll. Kind of sad...
Madcat - I like the new avatar. As well as yours Mel. I think I'll keep my Mr. Froggy for one more month.
I think Grease and Staying Alive of 2 of the best get up and moving soundtracks - timeless too Holly. Ummm both have John Travolta in them too. He is quite a dancer.
Oh poor woman Shad. What a mess you had there. It was quite a funny story - not to laugh at your expense but I can so see that happening. Looking sporty aren't we?

I'm sure you've not heard the last of it. But thanks for sharing...
Ok Linus - apparently stitch is another word like fanny - a seemingly innocent word to us but

to you. Please educate me. I do believe that CJ is the child I was afraid to have.

Hope you remind your DH that it's
his fault

Sounds like he is getting along quite well with his brothers though.
How are things going by you Mel? Good thing you are down in the Falklands and not up in the north where I hear it is very cold. And I'm sure that brings the seniors out in droves with problems. Mom called last night and said the high was 2 degrees yesterday. Brrrrr.
Thank you Meadow and Shad for the beautiful pictures of Stanley and the penquins. It is kind of pretty around here, isn't it?
I have another very busy week ahead of me. I'm in the crunch at work - behind on a project and juggling 3 others. Dentist appointment this afternoon - just an exam. Cleaning tomorrow. Have to reschedule a doctors appointment because I had one on Friday and they closed the office because Lordy, we had snow ON THE GRASS. The streets were wet but just a bit of slish but those of us who know real snow were going

what's the panic here? This is the 3rd time they have cancelled or reshuffled this doctor appointment and she just came back from maternity leave so I can only imagine how long I will be waiting for the next appointment. If it's not a month away then they will be overbooking and I'll probably have to spend 3 hours just sitting in the waiting room. Doctors are very bad about keeping to your appointment times out here.

And there is lots to do at home too. I have made lists and will be sticking with them.
So onwards and upwards. Hellos to the rest of the chicks. Keep your eye out for penquins.
