Saw
 

Well the Rocky Mountaineer just zoomed by... 25 minutes earlier than I was expecting... I managed to run out to the edge of the yard with my yellow stuffed chick and wave it at them as they clacky, clacked onward... so Shad if you saw a fat chick in a red t-shirt waving something yellow that was me :D

Hey, I was poultry in motion:carrot:

I'm down with the Jumanji July ;) Stampeding rhinos and swamp things kind of appeal :lol3:

Yay--- Mom's coming tomorrow. :dance: :dance: :dance: Going at lunch to pick her up at the airport. Then I have to go back to work - can't afford any more time off - so she will have to spend the afternoon chatting with DH. I can't wait to see her, I miss her so much. :hug:

I didn't get home from work until after 6 - keeping later hours with this job plus the longer commute. DH and I talked for a bit then decided we needed to run out and get a few things. Of course he was delighted to come with me :no: but I made him anyway :lol:

We didn't get home until after 8pm. I made him - no wait he made his own salad for dinner, I went to finish setting up Mom's "room" and cleaning the bath. Shuffle, shuffle, swish, wipe, tuck away. Came downstairs a little after 10pm - no supper for this chick :( Tis ok, I can skip a meal or 176 and not miss it. Had a bit of fresh cool pineapple just to take the edge off. :T Lots of stuff I didn't used to like - fresh strawberries, pineapple, salmon, turkey that I have forced myself to eat because they are healthy for you and now I like them.

Meadow - the idea of you in a red shirt waving a yellow stuffed chick gave me the giggles. What a cute visual! Hope she saw you.

Mel - there were doing demolitions around one of my office buildings once - I could not believe the noise. Kept jumping even after several days of loud bangs. Thought the place was falling apart. Poor birdie. How do you explain to a bird that he will be ok? :hug:

Sounds like you all are happy with Jumanji in July - sounds good to me. Someone else will have to decide what that means - I have spent all my energy on the Jumping for Joy in June and the Jumani joke. The rest was sucked out of my brain on the new job - which is going ok. I do feel like a dummy but I allowed myself to feel dopey for 30 days and that's not up yet. Haven't gotten into the pool yet either. Hopefully by Saturday. House should be in good shape so I should be able to help DH with the yardwork in the morning and spend the afternoon talking with Mom poolside.

Gosh look at the time. Gotta get up at 5 am. :tired: Better get off the computer and into bed.

'Night all... Sweet dreams.

HAPPY~ LET'S LET CARLA WORRY ABOUT JUMANJI!! :rofl: :rofl: ENJOY THE MOM VISIT!! :cheer: HAVE A GREAT TIME AND RELAX!!! I KNOW IT'S EASIER SAID THAN DONE! :faint: HOPE THE JOB SMOOTHS OUT AND THE HOURS DON'T STAY SO LONG. :hug:

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY
HAPPY WEDNESDAY! :moped:

MADCAT~ :hug:

You chickies are too funny! A red cow called Melody? Hollyhock and Robin share a birthday? Meadow as "poultry in motion"? The Doggage are looking at me because I'm laughing out loud.

I was supposed to go to the gym for 7:30 this morning but feel a bit sickish so will just have a mental gymnastics time until things settle down. I may have OD'd on fresh strawberries!

I do pet therapy noon to 2 PM with Hershey and have four Brits coming for tea and a village tour later this afternoon. I should learn to keep my big mouth shut and stop acting like Delta's one woman Tourist Bureau. These folks are from Nottingham and one of them is called Robin Sherwood. Can you believe it? It cracks me up.

Sunny and cooler finally! I just may get some gardening done when Donna comes to clean at 9. I'm going to try getting out of the house when she's here as I end up working along with her on things like windows!

Have a great Hump Day!

Note to Self: Find out what the heck this Jumani stuff is all about.

Oh great! Let's PUBLICIZE the fact that this cow was born so the crazies can all flock there, steal poor Melody and start the religious war to end all wars :rolleyes: What if I just sneak in and take her away so they don't sacrifice the poor thing 2 years from now? What a sad fate :(

The world is coming to an end soon anyway. People have become so selfish and only think about themselves. It started with a few and it is spreading like wildfire. I am almost ready to retire to the big sky, remote areas of the west like Nae.

I know that sounds like a depressing post but it isn't. Just tired of people who only think of themselves (driving and yakking on cellphones or worse texting, can't park between 2 lines and take up more than one parking spot, leave their shopping carts/buggies blocking parking spots or free to roam and dent cars because they are too LAZY to walk 20 feet to the cart corral. :mad: Oof-duh.

Ok, coffee's finished. Gotta run. Have a good day chicks.

And too funny about Melody the cow Mel. :lol3:

You know there is something to be said about living in a village as I do. People are NOT rude! Maybe it's because they all know each other? When I go to town I see a difference and when I go to the city, it's even worse. Sometimes I'm glad to be old so I won't have to observe the mess in 30 years! If I'm still around, I'll be close to 100 and probably won't give damn! Just give me my sherry and dry Depends. :)

Morning all,

Meadow I did see a chick in a red tee shirt yesterday. Didn't realise you were waving a chicken. I did wave back - I was wearing turquoise. Do apologise for not getting in touch last night but we didn't get in until 7.40 and had to be on a bus and taken to the show by 7.55. After 10 when we got in and back on a bus to go to the train in less than 20 minutes from now. Better get cracking. I will be in touch tomorrow from Van.

The train trip is very entertaining. We have a selection of people from Scots to Spanish and most in between on the carriage. Most interact fairly well. Scenery is fantastic. The car attendant is really amusing. I do like the Canadian sense of humour.

Better get cracking - brave the ice and snow again, but at least today is fine if windy. From Kamploops byeeeeeeeee.

Train whistle blowing,
Makes a sleepy noise
Etc Etc eTc

Laughter is good for the soul.

Sorry I've been poking my head in the door and just saying hello--I've been concerned about an uncle who had 6 by passes done (heart surgery) yesterday. He's doing as well as can be expected right now. He's 73.

Happy--Things should go better after the first thirty days. Are you still in computers. Enjoy the visit with your mom.

Mel- A red cow named Melody that predicts a religious war. hmmmm!

Miss Ruth--Is Robin Sherwood the real Robin Hood? Glad you are posting with us.

Meadow--I bet that was a sight for all the passengers on the train to see.

Shad--Your adventures have been delightful.

Carla, Holly, and the rest, hello

Thanks chicks for making my day a little brighter. I need to laugh.

I've finally made Vancouer and have internet access in my room for the princely sum of 12.99 fo 24 hours. It has one of them new fangled wireless keyboards and I am having a lot of trouble geting to grips with the scrolls and the sheer size of the screen. Even Mel could see this one from a great distance. Forgive the spelling. I'm on my knees with th keyboard on the coffee table. Seems tobe the only place it works from.

The train ride was great. If you ever get the chance you should do it. However, good as the bus drivers may be, I am not exactly a bus person and if thinking about doing it again, I would skip the bus part in favour of a hire car and I would skip the hotel in Banff altogether.

Carla - I will see you on the 25th. Not sure if I can go to the website yet, but I wil l check it out sometime tonight or tomorrow morning. Thanks for checking that out for me.

Mel - hope those eyes are coming right for you. It seem to be a never ending cycle. I will be in touch before I go home.

Happy - happy times with your Mum. Treasure the moments. And don't work too hard.

Ruth - back to taking tourists around the lakes and mills again. Robin Sherwood - well I never - there is such a person ? :rofl:
Give those dogs a pat from me.

Okay - gotta go and get some food in me. The train overfed us, but it is now 7.30pm and I am feeling the strain. Tonight will be an early bed - daylight or not.

See ya

Well, it seems the Joy-eagle has landed in Vancouver. And the weather is suspiciously better all of a sudden - I swear Shad has an in with the weather gods. I agree with the opinion on bus travel. I hope at least it wasn't at jam-packed!
Shad - one thing I forgot to menion before - you should arrange to get to the airport fairly early on the 25th: we clear US customs in Van, and I have no idea how long it'll take.

Happy, by now your mother must be with you. I'm very envious of the love you feel for her. I sometimes wonder how my mother and I would have gotten along had she lived. Given my general prickliness, perhaps not perfectly, but I do enjoy the vicarious pleasure I get from hearing you talk of her with such warmth. Oh - I almost forgot: get in that pool!!!! :lol:

Ceejay, sorry to hear about your uncle. I had never heard of six bypasses at once - is it a record? Will you be heading off to visit him and the family soon?

Meadow, did the neighbours see your train-chasing performance? You'll be known throughout town as the crazy chicken lady... :rofl:

Mel, there's no way you're fobbing the whole Jumanji thing off on me. The resposibility is all yours, although it's true I liked the idea of an imaginary place. Now if it were already November in Narnia, I could probably play tour guide, but since I haven't even see the whole movie yet... Good thing there's still time to prepare before the end of the month.
Have you tried tiny little ear plugs for the bird? :lol3: And for yourself? How long will construction be going on? For a while we were having work done on the east wall of my condo, and at least twice I walked into the bedroom nekkid and found young men at my window on the 14th floor... :eek: Probably harder on them than me.

Holly, since your bday is the same as Robin's, maybe you can do the tour guide thing in Jumanji? I'm sure he'll give you lots of inside info to share with us.

Today was only a half day at work, so I took advantage of the good weather for an adventure. Carla is now a Zip line wizard...! It was great fun, although I hated the bits involving walking on little suspended bridges. :fr: I loved the actual zooming along on a zipline. (Never would have considered doing it if I hadn't seen it on the Amazing Race and realized even "regular" people could do it.) If it's nice out tomorrow I may go and do the more advanced run after work. Anyone who wants to know what I'm talking about should check out ZipTrek on-line.

:hug: to Ruth and Madcat. Too much fresh air, time to get in the nightie and zzzzzz.

Aw Carla - Mom's giving you a good night hug too :hug: You're sweet.

Nighty night ladies.

:wave: at all the Worldly Chicks. Lots of RL stuff to do today but I'll try to pop back in later. I'm spending too much time online. :( :nono:

Morning chicks,

Mom got in ok. She's kind of nervous flying and I was praying all week that she'd have a good flight. We were waiting at security and she came toddling down the aisle with the big giant look of surprise and she stopped and started waving when she saw us. She said she had such a NICE flight. (thank you God). The gate attendants in Chicago changed her seat from the cramped one in the back to one in the front with lots of leg room for her sore knees and she had the nicest seat partner. A young man who was a secret service man en route to some presidential appearance. She said the time just flew by. I was so relieved. I can see now how older people fixate and fret about things. So she's here now and unpacked. We had a nice dinner. Chatted for a while and all too soon it was time to go to bed. This getting up at 5am is crazy. Don't know how you early risers do it. :faint: :yawn: :tired:

Carla - I do plan on getting in the pool this weekend. That is so cool about doing the zip line. So speeding along on the line didn't bother you but walking across the rickety bridge did? Not sure I could do either so you have my admiration for your adventurous spirit. Rock on!

Shad - glad the train trip was worth it. Sounded like it was beautiful. Enjoy Vancouver and I am so hoping you'll love the Butchart Gardens. Can't wait to hear what you think of Victoria.

Ceejay - healing prayers for your uncle :angel: How's the Best Life diet coming along? I just picked up the You on a Diet book but probably won't get to it for a few weeks.

Ruth - I like your attitude. Good to know there are places where it's not completely crazy yet.

Good morning Mel. Did you get some rest? Hope that demolition goes fast. They should just blow up the place - get it done in one swoop. Hope you and Mr. Birdy have a peaceful day.

Time to pop into the shower. I did promise the person training me that I WOULD make a better effort to get into the office early today.

Have a good day friends. :wave:
