Annie - Your weekend sounds like a blast! Your nametag is hysterical, definitely appropriate for a MILF Cougar! My weekend was definitely something out of a blissful novel, while yours was something right out of a Girls Gone Wild video! Glad you had a fun time and made it home safely and in record time!
Ice Cream Social in the lobby.....FREE..from Coldstone Creamery...Cookie Dough, Strawberry Blondie, Turtle and Brownie Delite . Yes I broke down and am having strawberry. It tastes awful....not good....just horrible...hold on while I take a bite....
Annie - hope you have a busy night to make it all worth while when you go home stonkered after the 2nd job.
Michelle - keep plodding along. Eventually things will clear and you will feel better. If you want to clear the nose, hop on over and sniff the paint. Then go out into the garden and smell the flowers. Jasmine is in full bloom at the moment
Happy - been damaging the car I see. You road rager you. Nice of DH to clean up your messes!!!
Mel - get off the net and go to bed. You need some rest. Take a good book. with large print or better still a talking book so you can lie there, close your eyes and listen to the story.
Ceejay - Back at work already - those days off went fast.
I'm about to go find the cat who is due for her vet visit today. She was just here and now that she has spied the cat cage she is no longer visible. Little b*tch.
So far I have painted 3 door trims and a scotia. One more coat to go and one window trim to do. Getting there.
If it doesn't get too hot today, then I will be finishing off the side garden and trying to work out what to put in it once the fence get replaced. Then I guess I need to tackle my wardrobe and clean and clear that out. Plenty of work here to keep me busy.
HAPPY~ SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE CAR LIGHT. WHAT A SWEETIE DH IS
SHAD~ STAY IN THE LOO THIS FALL AND YOU WON'T GET THE FLU!! THE USA IS WAITING TO SEE HOW YOUR COUNTRY FARES WITH THIS DREADED FLU. HOPEFULLY WE WON'T HAVE ANY GERMS ON 3FC! HOPE THE CAT LEFT SOME SKIN ON YOUR BODY WHILE TRYING TO GET HER INTO HER TRAVELING CASE!!!
JEANETTE~ THE "GIRLS" LIFE REMINDS ME OF RICHIE'S FAMILY...ALL THAT DRAMA HOPE THE POP SOUND AT THE PLANT WAS NOTHING.
ANNIE~ GLAD YOU HAD A GREAT TIME AND EVEN HAPPIER YOU GOT HOME IN ONE PIECE!
MICHELLE~ YOUR WEEKEND SOUNDED LIKE ONE THAT I NEEDED...AND BEING "FISH-LESS" WOULD BE OK WITH ME TOO! I AM JEALOUS!! GLAD YOU COULD HELP DH TOO. YOU GUYS MAKE A CUTE PAIR
GOTTA GO TO THE NEXT PAGE...HOLD ON A SEC.....
I DON'T WANT TO READ ABOUT ANY FOOD PORN SO I SKIPPED THOSE POSTS....GOT TOO MANY CRAVINGS GOING ON OVER HERE AS IT IS RIGHT NOW .
WELL GIRLS THE BBQ IS READY AND SET FOR LIFT OFF THIS MORNING. THEY ARE OVERCROWDING THE AREA AS WELL JUST LIKE LAST YEAR WITH A TOWN LETTER FOR ALL SENIORS. AND TO BE HONEST...I AM JUST NOT IN THE MOOD TO BE A TRAFFIC COP. BESIDES I HAD 4 DAYS OUT OF THE A/C AND I NEED A REST. JEN IS COMIG DOWN TODAY ALSO. SHE HAS HER MEETING WITH THE GOVT FRIDAY MORNING. ALL IS WELL IN MY CORNER OF THE WORLD AND I HOPE IT IS IN YOURS TOO
HAPPY TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY
I had a great day yesterday...got lots of errands done after work, and still had time to be outside and play frisbee/ball with my doggies! I'm gonna miss our outside play time this winter. I guess we'll just have to play fetch the toys in the house...the dogs love sliding on the kitchen linoleum anyway. I still have crud in my lungs that sent me into a coughing fit/asthma attack yesterday at work which scared my co-workers. A couple puffs on the rescue inhaler and I was doing a little better. Stupid lung crud.
Annie - I hope you weren't too tired after your long day. How many nights do you work this week?
Shad - Sniffing the paint would definitely clear my sinuses, and I can almost smell the jasmine blooming in your garden! Ahhhh. Hope you got the cat to the vet without shedding too much of your blood. Our cats hated the carrier and would hide when they saw it. And then put on the brakes so we couldn't get them in the darn thing. We found the best way to get them in the carrier was to stand the carrier on end with the open door at the top, then gravity would assist us in getting the cats in. Did you get your painting and wardrobe clearing done? I need to clear my wardrobe too. So much stuff of all different sizes.
Mel - You're so sweet. I wish you could come on over this weekend and enjoy a relaxing blissful weekend resting in the shade. One of my doggies has a new trick...jumping in my lap while I'm relaxing/sleeping on the chaise lounge. It was quite a startling wake up! But once up there, he calmed down and layed on my tummy and we both fell asleep. I hope your eyes are feeling better. You take it easy, girlfriend, and don't overdo.

Hi all,
They had to order the headlight replacement so we had to drop the car off this morning to get worked on. No time to post. Forgot we have a birthday lunch so I won't be able to post then either.
So a quickie for me.
Michelle, I hope you can get the crud dried up. Sure is hanging on a long time. Sinuses here are still in overload so if the same is true up your way, bah. Can't think of any thing to clean them out. Hope you feel better, bad if you have to resort to the puffer.
Mel, I'm sure you put all that work into the BBQ and then you probably won't even be able to enjoy it. Will the seniors fear you more once you turn into one of them or will you just be the head sassy pants?
Annie - I could never get into Coldstone Creamery. Maybe because I'm a purist when it comes to ice cream. I almost fell of the chair laughing at your stripper name. somehow I have to work that into my next password
Shad - hope you get done with the loo soon and on to something more fun. Come on over, you can help DH with the flooring. Tho I might come home to find the 2 of you in the yard taking pictures of stuff
Time to run to lunch - to those I didn't get to quite yet.
We had a food and games "carnival" in one of the conference rooms to raise money for Juvenile Diabetes. I managed to avoid most of the fattening food, but there was a little brownie that called my name. So I indulged...but I could've done a lot worse.
Happy - I hope you enjoy the birthday lunch w/your coworkers. Bummer that you had to leave your car. I'm sure the crud will clear up eventually...today it is better than yesterday.
Just a few more hours until it's time to get home...no big plans for tonight...I'll play with the dogs and cut up the fruit I bought at the store yesterday.
Hope you are all feeling jovial and jubilant this morning!!!!
Nothing much new here. I'm off to the doctor this morning to get a new prescription for my fluid tablets. Hate going there since I will spend ages in a queue and then have to spend another age in the waiting room with a range of old magazines - none of which are complete copies and what is left is old gossip. Although come to think of it, it really is quite funny to hear that XXX has a baby bump and you think back and realise it must have been wind since XXX has had 15 different live in lovers since then and no children. She is still pining for an ex-love.
Following that it is more of the same to do around the place.
Mel - The flu here is a non event really. Sure we have lost approx 35 people who died of it, mostly children or pregnant women and all except the children and 1 man have had underlying medical conditions. The vaccine is not popular - how could it be when many of the doctors refuse to take it. Maybe you should just disappear when the bbq is on!
Happy - funny thing about car parts today, they can't fix anything and have to replace it. Hope it all goes in quickly today.
What flooring is going down at your place? Is this the hall?
Annie - how you feeling? Just too tired to post huh? Ah well. Sleep well.
Michelle - glad to hear that things are clearing in the chest. You'll be back to your brilliant best in no time.
Was in a downer of a mood even to the point where I thought that it was job burn out. But once I had a good night's sleep I realize I'll be another year older this week. I'm admitting to the fact that I'm getting old---er.
Got home last night to a humid house. I checked the line to the air conditioner and sure enough it was frozen up again. I'm not calling the landlord until Thursday. To much stuff from cleaning out the cabinets that don't have new homes yet. I left a window open a crack in the bath room last night and today. There will be allergens come through which I really dread because I had an allergy attack yesterday at work in front of my boss. He had bought some of those air freshners that go off when you walk in front of them. He set them right with the height of my face. I moved it to a different location and put the one in the bathroom a little higher.
If the house is humid tonight when I get home I'll turn the ac on to coool it off enough to cool down the house.
Michelle
Sounds like you may have pneumonia. My cousin had it for six weeks. Her doctor finally made xray's. She's over it tnow but she was one sick woman for awhile. Feel better soon. I hear you on the few more hours of work. I'm so ready for the week end.
To every one else. A big wave I'll read more later.
I'm saddened by the passing of Ted Kennedy. He was an icon in the Senate for 45 years and I believe he really was a champion for the people. He was well respected by both parties. Sad also that of the 4 Kennedy sons, he was the only one to die of natural causes. So much tragedy and sadness in the Kennedy family.
As for me, although my chest is still congested, I got lots of unplanned exercise in last night. I went down to the basement to do some laundry and found that one of our windows apparently had a leaky seal and let in a lot of rain water. Parts of the basement were flooded 1" deep...not as bad flooding as many people get...but bad enough. DH and I had to move stuff around and mop up all the water, which took nearly an hour. After that, we let a fan run all night and thankfully it's all dry today. DH will seal the window better so we won't have this leaking problem anymore. Tomorrow is weigh in and with no exercise for 2 weeks, I don't know what to expect, but I'm keeping my fingers I did get a nice NSV today....I tried on some Size 16W slacks and they fit - COMFORTABLY!!
I'm hoping to be able to walk or go to the gym today...but if not, I'll play with the doggies...and since they don't retrieve very well, I get lots of exercise throwing the frisbee or the ball, and then chasing after them to get it, and then throwing it to a different part of the yard (repeat). They have me trained VERY well!
Shad - How odd that the docs aren't even taking the vaccine. There was a whole segment on the news last night about who should get the vaccine, etc. It was interesting. I hope to be back to my "brilliant best" very soon.
Ceejay - Sorry to hear your A/C is acting wonky. I hope the landlord can get it fixed soon. I don't think I have pneumonia...as it doesn't seem to be that deep in my lungs. I think it's just a stubborn case of bronchitis or some kind of virus. So you've got a b'day coming up? That must mean you're a Virgo too, just like me. My b'day is 2 weeks from today, and DH and I are hoping to take off the two days after Labor Day as a nice long weekend. Hopefully the weather will cooperate so we can do lots of fishing or hiking or other fun stuff.
I'd better get to work. A big to everyone I missed. I'll try and check in with y'all later!

Good morning ladies,
Happy Hump Day / Garbage Day as Annie would say
Happy Birthday eve Ceejay - get ready for the big day tomorrow. Sorry to hear of the a/c woes. Still kind of warm enough where you need it once in a while, even if the nights are getting on the cool side.
Shad, I'm not sure about the vaccine myself. Some of the people at work got a mean case of the summer flu. I usually skip every other year on the flu shot to build my immunity but may get one this year. Did you get down to busy yesterday? As to your question, we want to replace the carpet in the downstairs bedroom with wood floors. I also want to do the computer room/office but that will be a a trick with the furniture. DH wants to do the entire upstairs in wood too. Not sure how far we will take it. You don't have to spend a ton of money if you don't want to and it really helps the resale value I think. I always bring my own reading material to the doctors office - the result of being stuck at the gyne and having nothing to read but Parents and Happy Baby Bellies or something like that.
Michelle - on fitting into those size 16s again! You are doing great. Hope you have a good w/i tomorrow. Bah and the basement clean up. I know those are no fun. Hope you had no papers sticking to the floor. Even 1 inch of water is a huge mess.
Yesterday the dishwasher popped, sparked, smoked and died. This after we spent $300 fixing the headlight on my car - a rock busted it. I hope we are not on a money pit trend. Can't afford that.
Better get off to work. and a good morning to Mel, Annie, Patty, Laura.
MICHELLE HOPE THE LUNGS FEEL FREE AND CLEAR VERY SOON WE WILL ALL MISS GETTING OUTDOORS THIS LIKE WE HAVE BEEN. MAKES ME FEEL TRAPPED!!!! WHAT A MESS AND SOO MUCH EXERCISE WITH THE LEAK!! YIKES!!! BUT CONGRATS ON THE SIZE 16
