Hello to all you wonderful ladies.

Wow have I missed alot so I will try and catch up tomorrow.

Just wanted to say Cristi and Susan I got your cards today. Thankyou. Susan I love your pictures.

I haven't had a chance to read anything so I will post individuals tomorrow when I have a chance to.

Little guy came home from the babysitters with lice. Man what a lot of work trying to get everything done, and clean. I do not want anyone else to get it. :D Ok don't everyone start to itch at once. :D

Hope everyone has a great hump day.

Kathy

Happy Hump Day!

Angie - glad you are feeling better! Way to go on the free gym membership! So you must have gotten accepted for the show??

Katiecat - aww, I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandma and also about your son being deployed!

Cristi - July 13 and 14 would be fine with me! I'm looking forward to your visit and meeting you and your DD. I may bring my DD with me, too. Keep practising on that keyboard and before you know it, you'll have a piano.

RosieKate - hope you had a nice visit with your stepdad.

Marti - I never wore the patch at night but would put one on when I got up to use the bathroom about 5AM. Hope your tooth isn't hurting as much today. Are you taking any Aleve or anything for the pain? Ouch!! Canon in D was played at Mary's wedding.. how beautiful! :crossed: Here's wishing you good luck on your accounting test today.

Kathy - I have battled head lice before and it's awful! I felt all ashamed and the pharmacist said to not feel bad - it was running rampant in our area at the time, and lots of school kids were passing it around. Ours came from shared helmets at softball practice. The whole team got it. Of course we treated the whole family twice just to be sure, and I remember spraying the couch with some stuff after I swept it real good. Anyway, good luck with that! Btw, I have your b/d listed as 12/25... isn't this correct? If not, sorry I didn't send a card, too.

Today I am going to clean the house. It is so dusty because I have been running around instead of taking care of it, lol.

My lunch yesterday was so much fun! We laughed til we cried about the old days in elementary school, and the nuns. The other two women had big fancy desserts but I skipped that. Actually, I am a very slow eater, and was still working on my turkey pita and fruit when they got the desserts. It felt good to stay OP.

BBL,
Jana

A very good morning ladies~

I am getting an early start on the day because the grass guy is coming and I have no idea what time, wanted to be ready in case he showed up early. Of course with all the noise at the end of the street, kind of hard to sleep in.

Jana~you sound like me, I too am cleaning house today but started last night, somewhat, with cleaning the kitchen rugs and mopping the floors. Need to do the bathrooms today, dust and vacuum-exciting isn't it! :lol: Okay, so the 13th-14th it is! Can't wait! I too look forward to meeting you and yes, bring DD along if you like-I would love to meet her. Glad you had a fun lunch with your friends yesterday.

Marti~I do hope you get to feeling better. I think of all the things to have to deal with as far as pain goes, a toothache is the absolute worst! I can just about deal with anything but when it comes to a toothache or a cold where I can't breath-it is the pits. And Canon in D is a favorite of mine-I love that! I don't know if I will ever be that good but I am going to give it a good try.

Kathy~I am assuming you are talking about the Easter card??! Geez, and I mailed it early hoping you would get it early. Guess next card I better send even earlier. Sorry about the kiddo and the lice. DD got it in pre-school and I was so embarrassed 1. because she had it and 2. because I didn't know what it was. I took her to pre-school and asked them if that is lice and they said yep. It is a big pain in the booty-a lot of work involved and my head is itching! :lol:

Angie~my oldest wanted a guitar because his dad played, that was shortlived. It ended up in the closet after about a month never to be seen again. I think Vince thinks the same is going to happen with this keyboard. I think the 70'ish outfit sounds nice. I think of all the clothes from the 70's, denim skirts, boots and peasant shirts are my favs! These boots were made for walkin'...does anyone remember that song?? :lol: WTG on getting a free memebrship at the gym!

Rosiekate~hope you had a nice visit with your step-dad.

I just realized Susan hasn't posted. Hope everything is fine with you girly.

Hi to everyone else~

Guess I best be getting to work on cleaning the house. I find myself cleaning more often since we moved. There were a lot of days I didn't even make the bed! Now, the first think I do when I roll out of bed is make it. I am also more organized-just don't go in the garage! :lol: I guess it is just different when it is your house and you are not renting. Not that there is anything wrong with renting. Because I was a renter for years, especially when I was single. Funny, I didn't want the responsibility of the upkeep of a house so I rented. Anything went wrong I just called the landlord and it was taken care of. Of course I learned how to fix some things along the way. I was also fortunate to have had some good landlords. Anywho...starting to blab.

Have a wonderful hump day ladies! See ya later :wave:

These boots are made for walkin.....
 

Morning!!!

Just a quick post before I finish getting ready for school.

Angie--You have me wanting to go search my closet for a skirt and some boots!!! Although that would be a waste of my time since I don't own either one!! (I do have boots, but they're only ankle high) I guess I better do some shopping.

Jana--I'm glad that you enjoyed your lunch!! It's fun getting together with friends to just have lunch and do some chitchatting!! Especially old friends that you can reminisce about the good old days in school......(all my "friends" are gone, left the states..or to the hills or who knows where!!)

Kathy--I've been in your shoes with the lice a few times!! I was so irratated!! Only because the woman that babysat Jhanai at the time owns a 2nd hand clothing store for kids, and that's where she got it. I know it's a lot of work to wash all that, but sheesh!! Jhanai got it twice in 5 months!! Poor baby.....having me yank on her long beautiful hair to make sure I got it all!!

Cristi--I clean my new house more often too! Do you think that newness will eventually wear off? Actually, I tend to get more company now and so I just love having the house clean BEFORE they arrive rather than puttin around while they're here.

Ok....I think I caught up!! I'm typing pretty fast so I hope I made sense with everything. You girls all have a great rest of the day and thanks for the fingers crossed on the accounting test!!!

Hello to the rest of the Jaded Ladies!!!!


I'll check in later

Marti

Today's a bit crazy... I'll try to get back to address individuals. Good visit w/ stepdad. He's from New Orleans originally and flies back yearly for a long visit with his family. He stays with us en route as we can get him to and from the airport. I could tell it was a good and bad visit. He enjoyed seeing his mother and siblings, but his daughter is very unstable and immature so that didn't happen. He did, however, get to visit two of this four bio-grandkids...even if he didn't get to see their mom.
I'm off to volunteer in my son's classroom, then home to try to get my DD to take a nap. Then DS has swimming lessons this evening...don't know when I'll get a walk in today. Last week I managed to get my 5x in, but this week isn't looking that great. Wish me luck.....
RosieKate

Afternoon ladies--

Well...I think I did alright on my accounting test today. At least I didn't leave with the feeling of failure!! So that's always good. If I manage to pull a C out of that class I will be pleased as punch!! (ok...where did that saying come from?)

I just got a call from James...he wanted to tell me his score on one of the finals he took (he has one more and he's done testing) He sounded upset when he called because he was just going on about how mad he was and how disappointed...so I asked..."what was your score?" 99/100!! WHAT?! What's all the fuss about? He wanted 100/100!! That man. He ended up with the highest score in the class today. I couldn't believe it. Making me think that he failed!!! :lol:

Not much going on with me. Need to finish homework, not a lot to do. And then I need to clean up the house a bit.

My tooth isn't bothering me so much today...only because I've been eating softer foods. Scrambled eggs for breakfast and a hotdog for lunch. Didn't particularly want a hotdog but I didn't feel like making anything else. I'm hoping the pain will ease up after another day.

Well, I better hit the books. I'll check back in later.

Marti

Well I just got back from the audition,,,and I can proudly say I didn't throw up on anyone there! lol I had to talk about me for 20 minutes with 3 of them asking me questions,,,very unnerving.
I have to wait two weeks now.
Angie

HI! everyone just wanted to pop in and sayHI! and hope that everyone is doing good been working a lot so havent had much time to post but thinking of you all Rita

Hiya ladies,

Cristi - your DDs age is right between my 2, Katie is 17 and Mary is 23. Katie is probably the one I will bring, though, if your DD is for sure coming, too. Although Mary is the one that could use the break, lol. Did the grass guy show up? I'm pretty sure the song These Boots Are Made for Walkin' was done by Nancy Sinatra in 1966. The reason I think this is because I got a pair of white go-go boots for Christmas that year, and I was in the 8th grade. I thought I was hot stuff with those boots, lol!

RosieKate - don'tcha just love volunteering in the classroom? I did that for my Katie and we both loved it. So did the teachers, lol. They have an awfully lot to do and were so appreciative of any time I donated.

Marti - YAY for James!! And I hope you get a C or better for the semester in accounting. Have you ever bought the veggie hot dogs? DON'T!!!! They taste like crap and are slimy. Not only that but they were about $3.50!! I will just count the points for a real one next time, lol. Live and learn, right?

Angie - well, at least the audition is over. Now you just gotta wait and see. But remember this - if they don't chose you, it's their loss, sweetie.

Susan - yoo-hoooooo?? Where are you??

Well, I got the house looking a lot better and the laundry all done, too. Plus I made a big pot of chili again and am going to freeze some of it for individual lunch servings.

Gotta go work on my menus and shopping list.

Buh-bye!
Jana

hello
 

Evening Ladies--

James & I went to visit my grandma today. I just can't believe how fast she is deteriorating! Poor thing. She told me today that she just really wants it to go faster. Breaks my heart but I can totally understand. This woman used to be so active and now she can't even get out of bed and she's in a lot of pain and discomfort. When she smiles the whole rooms smiles with her though!!

I finished my homework that I needed to get done. Electronic Forms. Anyone ever mess around with that? Kind of fun. I'm getting tired of messing with fields though....I'm ready to move onto something more fun.....(I hope there is something more fun!)

Jana--Yep...Nancy Sinatra sang that song. I love that song. I've heard many other bands remake that song.....some good, some bad.

Rita--How good to see you pop in!! Pop in more often.

Angie--Thank God you didn't throw up...but you know, they would remember you for sure if you did!! :D

I thought I would pop in myself and see whose been in. Where is Susan? Where is Kayecee?? I should be used to Kayecee being MIA with the schooling and all, but I still miss her. Heck, I'd like to see Mel and Michelle!!! Which one had the doggy daycare???

Well, I need to go scrub my face. I feel like I'm restarted puberty or something!! I'm breaking out like crazy!! Why?! I haven't changed what I eat, just less of it. And I'm keeping water down......WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!! I look like a walking target board!!

So I'm off to cleanse myself. You all have a great night.

Marti

Hi everyone.

Hope everyones week is going fast so that we can get to the weekend.

Marti how close do you live to your grandma? Sorry to hear that she is not doing well. Just did our taxes. Should have sent all the information to you and you could have practiced and sent ours in for us. ;) Lucky you....You married a guy goodlooking and smart. 99/100 and hes acting like somethings wrong Wow if only I could have done that well in school.

Jana your lunch date sounded like alot of fun. I was catching up and I was reading about your lunch with your granddaughter at school...who had more fun you or her?
Do you just have 3 grandchildren? I did see some pictures of your cuties. My brother and his wife had twins in Dec. and their oldest was 14 months. Mom and Dad help them out alot by watching Kyler for them everyday.

Angie glad you got through your audition. 20 minutes improv on yourself? Well I can't wait to see you on Whose Line is it Anyway now that you are experienced! :D How do you fit everything in? Is your family into theatre also? I have :crossed: for you. I think I missed something when I was catching up. Great that you get a gym membership for free, but why will there be a camera crew with you? You shooting a movie?

Cristi yes it was your Easter card that I just received. What type of construction is going on in your neighborhood? What did the grass guy have to say? Did he talk you into a sprinkler system? I am hoping to get out into our yard and do some yard work. I would like to plant a garden this year also.

Rita do you at least get the weekend off? Hope these next 2 days go by really fast for you.

RosieKate did you manage to get you walk in today with everything else you needed to do?

Susan how is everything going for you? How are the girls doing? What is Bookbaggers? (Is that the right name?) Have you and Gaby been getting your walks in?

Hi to everyone else. I hope that the rest of the week goes fast for everyone. Can't wait until the weekend.

Have a great day tomorrow.

Kathy

Hi again--

I thought I would pop in once more before I head off to bed.

Kathy--Wow....full of questions tonight!! :D I live only a couple miles (if that) from my grandparents. And thanks for saying that I married a good looking guy!! I think so too!! :smug: You had some good questions for the others that I would like to know too! Like Angie.....why is the camera going to be with you at the gym????? I didn't even catch that. So fill us in!! Also, Susan...I would like to know what Bookbaggers is too. I'm just a nosey booger aren't I? Panning in on Kathy's questions!!

Anyone watch American Idol? I've been watching it, even though I keep saying that I need to stop. They finally booted off the red head. He sings ok, but for music like Frank Sinatra. Rat Pack music! Also, I've been watching the Swan....Anyone been watching that? I hear so many people dissing the whole idea...but for me, it's like, the women KNOW what they're doing and it's what THEY want to do....so let them! I find it interesting to hear and read about people going on and on about what other people do with their lives.....why worry about it. Focus on yourself. You'd be a happier person in the long run.

Alright, I guess I better get to bed. Looks like we need to start another thread so since I'm on.....I'll go ahead and start!

Night all

Marti
