Welcome Clara :wave: we would love to have you post here! Look forward to getting to know you, have a good night and chat more tomorrow!

first off, welcome Clara! It is nice to see some new people in here!

just popping back in here.....

we had a great time at the graduation party! if you are on myspace, I put up the pictures from the party on there now.

It's almost midnight here in Texas. I would like to know how I can post a ticker. I'll be back tomorrow to continue getting to know you.

Grrrr :mad: I was typing and I lost the effin page!!! Then I had to restart my comp. :mad:

Welcome Clare :wave: Looking forward to getting to know you!!! :grouphug:

Susan~I didnt care much for Babyville. It sorta made me angry, lol. I still cant read Certain Girls. The way the daughter thinks makes me angry, lol. If you want, I can lend you my copy. I took your advice and got out my journal that I started last year. The last time I wrote it in was in October 2007, lol. I put a post it to mark my new entries. I probably should just buy a new one..but this one is still brand new, lol. And I've started so many journals and never finished writing in them, lol. I havent filled out an entire journal since high school. I guess my life isnt very interesting anymore, lol. I have my whole dating history with Fonzo written down in 2 journals.


Mindee~I love your avator..too cute!!


Well..I did something bad tonight. I ordered a pizza, breadsticks and a diet pepsi. The diet Pepsi is GROSS!!! Ugh..I've never ever had a diet soda before, and I dont think I ever will again. I watched Elizabeth: The Golden Age tonight. It was really good. Clive Owen is yummy!!! I love his voice!!!

I found this pic of Fonzo..and I'm so jealous. I want his collar bone!!! I hate that he's so naturally skinny. He's so yummy..I cant wait till he's home...

I'm gonna watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding after the news..YAY!! LoL!!! Plus..I'm gonna work on my picture frame too.

Okay..heres the picture frame I was talking about earlier. I realize that the eagle's head is cut off..but by the time I noticed it, I had put all the ends back on it..lol. And it took me forever to get the pics straight, and I'm cranky now cuz I kept messing up, lol. So I'll fix it before Fonzo gets home. But ya..here it is..

I think Fonzo will be kinda annoyed by it though, lol. He doesnt really like all the Navy stuff I keep around here. I have his pic in a Navy snow globe and it plays Anchor's Away. He thinks its kinda corny (not the song, just the snow globe). He puts up with it though, cuz he knows I like all the Navy stuff. I'm sorta kinda hoping to put the frame in our baby's room. If we ever have a baby..

My Shadowboxes/Wedding Songs/Etc.....
 

popping in here since it is extremely hot outside! yahoo says that it is 91 outside......so we are staying inside in the cool air conditioner!

Now, I wish I had done a shadowbox with all my stuff. But I did put some of my special things in a dark tote. I put my dress in the tote as well. My aunt made it for me so I want to keep it. Plus, if we ever renew our vows, I want to be able to wear it again! (hopefully being a lot smaller in body size this time)

Our wedding song is "Amazed" by Lonestar. It was the first song that we ever slow danced to. Plus, it came out around the time that we started dating.

Francie~ That is a very cute picture frame! And, I think that would look great in a baby's room!

We watched parts of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" the other day.

Sassy~Okay..now you have to post some of your wedding pics..because I wanna see them :p I love your shadow boxes!!! You have a very pretty bouquet. I should put my veil in mine. Its just sitting in this bag I had with me when I got married, lol.

Mindee~I love that song "Amazed" and thats saying alot because I dont listen to much country, lol. I wish I had my wedding dress with me. Its still at my cousin's house..although, she probably sold it or ripped it to shreds by now.

Our wedding song was "Come What May" from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. I thought the lyrics were fitting for us. Who knew they would actually ring very true later on, lol. Our actual song is "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King. Actually...we have a ton of "our songs" but that one is #1. Our other songs are Come What May..So Happy Together~The Turtles..PS I Love You~The Beatles (most of the Beatles' love songs our "our song" lol) and I Got You Babe~Sonny & Cher (even though they broke up..its still a great song). Hmm..I just noticed that most of our songs are oldies..lol.

2 of my all time fave love songs are "Something" by the Beatles & "Time of the Season" by the Zombies. Omg..whenever I hear either of them, I have to turn it up so loud. I just go crazy for those songs!!!!! "Something" is beautiful and "Time of the Season" is just plain out sexy, lol. They do not make good songs like that anymore.


Oh ya..Fonzo really liked the picture frame. I was worried he wouldnt, lol. But he thinks it would be cute to put in a baby's room.

Good afternoon gals...It is a hot one here too, and the humidity is awful. I am staying indoors like Mindee. It is only 86* here though. I just can't be in the sun at all, and the shade isn't too comforting. We usually sit outside in the morning or evening.

Mindee- Love the boys' picture. Glad you all had a good time at the graduation party. We didn't have any to go to this year since my darn GS who should have graduated quit school. Thankfully he is talking about going back.

Sassy- Don't you hate how some people can't grow up and leave the high school drama behind? Believe me I know women MY age, which is a darn sight older than you girls, and they still act like drama queens and gossips. It's almost funny in a sad way. Something lacking in their lives to have to do that.

Francie- Cute picture frame. And the shadowbox is such a neat idea too. Hope your Sailor boy gets to come home soon. Hey, don't stress out about the drive. We've gone cross-country at least 3 times and it was fun. There is so much to see. And if you are not on a strict schedule you can take your time. The first time my DH had everything planned out and we zipped right along. Only stopped one night and that was not good. After that I told him I would fly and he could drive unless we took our time. I won and we had pleasant trips after that. We found reasonable lodging and my best tip is to find motels with breakfast included. It is so much easier to eat before you get on the road for the day. One less meal you have to worry about. Plus, if they have fruit you can stick an apple or banana in your bag for a later snack. Make sure you have plenty of water in a cooler and you will be fine.

Susan- Thanks, yes, I did get a good night sleep. Feel much better today, but this darn heat is keeping me indoors. I should be getting lots of housework done, but I'm not. :) Hope your girls get back home to keep you company.

Cristina- I don't have kids to worry about, but I still don't get as much exercise as you do. I think you have to be dedicated, and I clearly am not. LOL. I was upset that we lost the last few days of 3fc since I was going to look back to the 1st and see how much I had walked. I know DH and I walked 2 miles twice, but I started my ticker on the 5th...sadly, I am doing poorly. I can always find an excuse. "Oh, I have a hangnail...I can't walk today." :dizzy:

Katy- I never did get my profile at Goodreads up or any info about my books on there. You do such a good job! Hope you have fun with the kiddos this summer.

Jules- How is your week-end going with the baby? My "baby" GS who is 8 will be here over the 4th of July. I'm gonna get me lots of hugging.

Clara- Welcome to you. You have come to the right place for laughs and support.

I feel like a complete slug today...staying in the cool and reading. I finished another Fern Michael's book, 2 this week. I think that is all the ones I have about the Sisterhood, and just missing one from that series. I need to get my behind to the book store and find the missing escapade. Then I have 2 shelves full of books to keep me busy for awhile. I can't pass up paperbacks at garage sales or the library sale.

I have a beef stew in the crock-pot and told DH I would bake him a cake and biscuits. I guess I better get my rear in gear.

Just a quickie for now....I have to go claim my unemployment for the week!!lol


Clara -
Some Ticker information: Weight tickers you click on the User CP to that is located to the left of the screen and go down to Settings & Options and click on Edit Signature. It will open a window to how to make a weight ticker.

Hope that helps. I think there might be a so called *trail period* before you can do a signature though, not sure......like waiting 30 days or your first born child in return for a ticker....haha, jk.

Welcome again!

Clara - Just some more info ((cut and pasting from Suzanne on another thread)), looks like you do have a 30 day wait....plus you have to do 30 post (??).....anyway,sorry about that! :)

Thanks for the welcome. The walking challenge looks like fun. Can I join in? I will keep track on tickerfactory.com.

Happy Sunday!

I can't wait for Monday to come, get back into a routine and all.
I did not have a good morning, Starbuck chick was so rude I could have gone ballestic on her but I have self control. haha.
I went in there minding my own business to get my morning java and pick up a Sunday paper. She asked me how I was doing and I said I would like a grande coffee. She replies "that is not what I asked"...
OMG- am I required to tell her how I am doing?? I want my coffee, I don't wanna be her buddy. :mad:
I said through gritted teeth "I am fine, I would like a grande."
I must have looked pissed because she said "relax, it isn't personal"...

Ok, whatever. I just wanted my coffee and not in the mood for anal small talk.

Next I went to Noah's to get my bagel with mustard and turkey and the lady at the cashier read it back to me and said mayonaise. I said no, it was mustard. She said.."ya, mustard"..and rang me up. I asked "does it say mayonaise, because I want mustard" ....and Noah Chick is so bloody rude and said like the true bagel snot she is...."I wouldn't let them get your order wrong ((tsk,tsk)) it was my mistake, it says mustard."

Ugh....maybe it was me. ......I can't imagine. :?:

Clara - Sure join us in the walking challenge!

Mindee- Love the pictures! You guys always look like you are having fun and Marissa is a cutie sitting in her stroller.

Sue - Beef stew sounds good. I always miss Gaby, I miss Rach too. It will be nice to get them back today. I was meeting Gaby's father at the pool so she can swim for a bit.

Francie -

popping in again!

I took some things to the dumpster with Brandon, and the humidity seems to have died down some.....BUT it is still flippen hot out there!

Francie~ That is good that Fonzo likes the picture frame! It always seems to happen like that......that you get something that you think that they won't like and then they turn around and like it on you.

Sue~ We have a college graduation party next Saturday and then we are done....for now. It is a lot of fun to take the kids to places that we haven't been in a while, and it is a nice change of scenery for them and us.

SuzieQ~ I hate people like that! They urk the heck out of me!!! Did you see the one picture of Marissa with her toes in her mouth?

Every time I type a message on here, and get to Francie, for some reason my fingers go bizerk and post what I have written so far!

part 2.............

Mindee- I know, me too. lol Actually I was kicked off the computer and there was a 20 min wait period for the next computer. Anal Library.....maybe it isn't a Happy Sunday after all??? lol I didn't see the one of the foot in the mouth of Marissa, I will go back and see! :) How hot is it there?? Sun is out here, thank goodness.

It is Sunday, deal with it!

:carrot:

Francie - Awesome picture frames of Fonzo! I read a little bit of Babyville so far. I just went right to be at 10pm and slept all night. Kitty Momo kept jumping up and down on the bed. Sweet to offer Certain Girls but if it is hardback it might cost a fortune in mailing, and I am so anal is spending money , I can wait for the soft back , I guess. I really wish Sophia Kinsella would write a new book.

Sassy - You have a beautiful Shadow Box too! I never did anything like that stuff with my weddings. Ya, I was married twice. :dizzy: Never had a song either except w/ Gaby's father, who I was not married to.
He was hopeless romantic (or just hopeless?? lol) and after we saw Sweet November he decided the Cranberries song in the movie was *our* song. After we split and he wanted me back (of course....*snicker*) and he would call and just play the song as his message.
What a nut.....the R's would just laugh but I found it annoying....course I find everything annoying. lol

oops better get my butt in gear, have to get to the pool!!

:wave: to Crsitina , Jules , Tammy and Katy!!
