Good to know your treating yourself, you need to do that!

So everything is a go, for our house...just need to sell this one.

I got a job interview tomorrow. My neighbour thinks I would be great in the call centre at her work place... a brewery. I hate beer so this should be interesting...lol Heather is being trained at Crispy Cremes, this is new to Canada even thou I know its a big thing in the states. Anyways she was told she gets a free dozen donuts a week...and a discount. She doesn't like donuts...lol And thing is I get a free case of beer a month or something insane like that...eewwww so we joked about trading...(not a good thing either)
Well I need to get to bed.
night all

Hiya Ladies,

Susan - I went w/Neal for about 3 months, then foolishly dumped him for an old love. (But I wised up and moved on from THAT heartbreaker.) Then, 4 years later, Neal and I got back together. (my sister said he never stopped talking about me!) That was in May and by October, I knew I was head over heels in love with him. We were engaged the next May, and married in Septmeber, the day after my birthday. The things I like best about him were 1) that he respects me at all times; 2) he brought food into the house for me and the kids instead of just eating like other BFs did; 3) he is a very considerate lover and gets the job done, if you know what I mean; 4) he is always dependable - works steady, shows up on time, does what he says he will do, etc. 5) my kids love him as much as I do; 6) he is a practising Christian. About Alex, I agree with you, lunch would be better for a first meeting. More laid back.

Kat - Please see your GYNnie asap! There is no need for you to suffer like that. Your haircut sounds so cute!

Marti - sorry about your Powerpoint presentation. But at least it won't affect your grade too much. Jhanai's solo sounds beautiful. She will remember that all of her life, and so will you. We are all waiting for details of the wedding!!

Angie - with the interview. I can just picture you and Heather with your Krispy Kremes and beer, LOL!! You crack me up!

Today is the day we head to court to finalize Fern's accounts. As her guardian, Neal was respnsible for all of her money and now his siblings can complain about any expenditures if they want to. He has 5 siblings and there are a couple of them who would do something like that. I hope for his sake that nobody shows up - it could get real ugly in the court room!

Then I'm off to buy groceries. See you later...

Morning ladies--

Wow--It's great to read all these long lasting marriages!! I was married to Thom "technically" (or do I want to say legally) for 13yrs. OMG!! Was it really that long?? But of coarse, almost 6 of it I was with James. In fact, at the court house I said to Thom "You know, I have to say that these last 5yrs or so were the best years of our marriage, thanks!" At least he has a sense of humor and just laughed at me and said "I bet they were!"

Anyway...enough of me. My individuals, I haven't done that.

Susan--You and Kayecee have got to be the two women on here who find and take advantage of a great sale!! I've been trying to do that. Shanna mentioned to me this morning that there is a sale on dresses at Ross. So I may be going there today after school!! Also about Alex. You said somewhere that you wonder if he has a sense of humor. I'm sure the man does, but since it's all talk over the phone, he may be withholding due to wanting to make a good impression. He may not want to look to eager and adolenscent like over the phone...you know what I mean? So far, he sounds like a great man and I hope it all works for you. And yes,, I agree, lunch out first would be good. And let that man give you flowers!!!

Jana--I wish you and Neal luck in the finalizing of Ferns accounts. It's never easy to try and get everything squared away, especially if other family members might make it difficult. I was speaking with my grandma the other day, she has hospice coming to her home now and that is just something that scares me. No one is letting us know if she is getting worse, or better? We just see her suffering from contstant pain and weakness. Anyway, she had told me that she has everything squared away as to who gets what. I think that's good that she does have that done, but to sit there and talk about it is disheartening. That woman is strong.....we hope to get through to summer with her!

Cristi--Stationery bike?? I would love to have one of those. But then, there is nothing stopping me from riding the bike that I have!!! Just got to dig it out of the storage room and get it out!! So much stress going on with me right now....(I really don't know why) that I haven't been taking good care of myself lately,,,in fact I'm coming down with a cold!! (I haven't had one in years!!! Literally!) I have got to make sure I get rid of it before the 24th!!

Kat--Oh girl---That is way to long to go on "flowing" like that!! You MUST go in have that checked out!! Have you gone to the Doctors before?? What did they say it was?? If you haven't....get off the computer, and make that phone call now!!!

Katie--Here is an idea for your vacation.....you can come to my house and do the house work for me!! Yeah...that sounds good!! I'm liking that idea! Ok-ok...you don't have to, but it would be nice!! You make sure you spend some time relaxing and pampering yourself on your vacation time. Everyone needs too!

Angie--Good luck with the interview. Beer and Donuts......hmmmm isn't that a mans dream dish?? I have yet to have a Krispy Kreme. I hear that they are as good as everyone says they are. I can't imagine a donut being that good!!

Hi to Shanna and Kayecee and Rita....hope to hear from you girls soon.

I need to finish getting ready for school! You all take care!
Marti

[Marti]

Angie---didn't see ya online!! I will get to my meeting with James next time...Must get ready for school!!

I think black pin stripe would be good. But so would brown.....no help am I?

Chat with ya later
Marti

[Mom2Gaby]

Good Morning, or is it afternoon???

Gaby & I slept in until 9am.Instead of rushing out the door at 7am to take the girls to school. It was pure heaven!!
Getting an application out for another property management job with Princeton, it would be closer to the girls.......maybe they will decide to come and live with me again?? .........do I want that??...lol
Hope to have something by the summer.Will be with this job one year in June,,,,,enough for me....

Thanks, Jana!!So nice to read love stories , Neal sounds so nice.

Angie, in a brewery??? Heather in a Krispy Creame?? lol........whatEVER, I still like my HOME DEPOT idea.......Dr.Phil says you have to live in a healthy enviroment.....tsk,tsk....
Rach & Becks dad was offered a job in a brewery, he is AA recovery though.Like a kid in a toy store....

Jhanai?? am I spelling that right Marti?? Her recital sounds sweet, hope she is feeling better now. Funny about you and Thom.....he sounds like a nice man.I heard about Ross and the dress sale, might check that out myself, though I love skirts.

Anyway, enough chatter. I better get this application out.

All you Jaded Ladies have a nice Thursday!!!!

[FrouFrou]

OMG Kat!! A 15 week period??!! And I thought a 5 week period was bad-girl I would get to the doctors asap. If my periods were like that I would tell them give me a hysterectomy. I too have wished I could get one-since losing a baby almost 4 years ago mine have been crazy, and some very painful. However, the last two months I have literally had a spot a day for 2 or 3 days. I swear I am going through menopause! Not sure if that is good or bad.

Angie~ with the interview. I am keeping my fingers it goes well. I think either suit would work, I like both brown and black. Our love story-I met DH through a personal ad/dating service. Not your typical personal ad. It was through a place called Country Connections and what it is is a newspaper you get once a month with personal ads of men-the men get a newspaper full of women. You write letters to the person and send to Country Connections and they forward the letters. If the guy likes what he sees he writes you back and you exchange addresses. I wrote Vince the end of Nov. 96, he wrote me back and we continued with letters until April 97 when I sent him a bouquet of balloons for his birthday. He called to thank me. We continued with the letters and started talking on the phone. May 98 I went to meet him in person and spend the weekend in KS where he lived. I was living in Arkansas at the time. I moved to KS July 1, 1998. He proposed to me Dec. 98 and we married May 99. I knew when I met him in person that we would get married-don't ask me how I knew, I just knew. My SIL had asked me if I thought we would get married and I told her yes, this was before I moved to KS. Then she said well of course you do or you wouldn't be moving to KS. He is the sweetest person, even when I am a bear, he always puts me and the kids first. And I could go on and on...I feel very lucky to have found him.

Jana~Neal sounds so sweet. Hope everything is fine today at the meeting. I know all too well what can happen at these kind of things and at funerals. I am not sure what happens that family members loose it at these kind of things but I know DH#1 funeral was the WORST nightmare with his family. Of course it started even before the funeral. Not sure how I survived it but I did, as did the kids. I will be thinking of you and Neal today.

Marti~sorry your presentation didn't go so well. I do love my stationary bike, but I also like to ride outside. I will not ride my bike though until I get a different seat. DH had bought a seat at Wal-mart but it wasn't what I wanted. I need to go to a bicycle shop I guess-just haven't gotten around to it because we were living in the country and I had no where to ride it. Now I can't wait.

Susan~yes I do the bike and I love it! It's really not that bad. I can't wait to get the weights in the house and get started on that. DH and I tried this past Sat. but wouldn't fit through the door-normally he measures everything and this time he didn't. So we have to take the bottom bar off and try again. I am loving that we have an extra room to make an exercise room instead of everythig being spread out. The other house I had the bikein the bedroom, the treadmill in the LR and the weights out in the garage-the reason I never got started with them. It was a detached garage so no heat in the winter and no air in the summer. I do think a lunch date is so much better than a dinner date for the first meeting/date. I always preferred lunch dates over dinner dates or movie dates or even meeting for coffee or a coke.

Hey to everyone else-Shanna, Rita, Katie, Kaycee

Carrie and I went out this morning so she could drive. I swear the more time that passes in between driving sessions she forgets everything. She hasn't been driving for about a month and I started her up again the other day. She has GOT to get her drivers license, which I am sure she could. I am just not comfortable enough to let her drive on her own. I am still looking for the remote-that thing has disappeared. Vince found out yesterday though we have 15 days to get the stuff back from the time the boxes are received and because they sent the boxes to the old address it gives us more time to get them back and more time to find the remote. Other than that not much going on except the annoying pounding! They are building houses at the end of the cul-de-sac, there is a house that seperates us but you can hear every little noise. I am amazed at how fast they build a house, yesterday they were working on the basement and today they almost have the house built! Anyway, I am babbling and this is getting too long Take care ladies and have a good day-TTFN
