Good Lunching Ladies
Hi Jane:wave: I wanted to say that I am so sorry to hear about your brother in law,I hope that they can make him comfortable ,my Uncle went through prostate cancer about 5 years ago , but he is still doing pretty good considering his age and other ailments.I know how hard this must be on you and your family, I will add him to my prayers,and your family.((((HUGS TO ALL))))
Katy:wave: I am also sorry to hear about Leigh being ill, its so hard when they are so little , for you and for them, I am happy to hear that her fever is gone,are you having any better luck getting her medication in her? I hope everyone is well in your family (((HUGS TO ALL)))
CRISTI,:wave: I am still here, I am so exhausted I can't seem to get my brain going in one direction. Much to my dismay I did not get to my Doctors appointment, My doctor had a family emergency and cancelled all her friday afternoon appointments.I could have seen a replacement doctor , but chose to wait, till next week , I hate starting from scratch trying to explain the whens wheres and whys to someone who has no clue who I am. I do have a clean set of clothes to go to emergency though just in case something arises before then , but I am taking it easy , so nothing hopefully does. Just my luck though, I already wait to long to get there to begin with , I didn't inform them when I made the appointment that it was a bit of an emergencey, that I should have done this a month ago ,so thats what happens, when you procrastinate. but thankyou for asking.Amelie is doing better today she is eating much better, the babies are growing so fast, still only maddie's little eyes are opened, I think Maddox is going to be one of those big lazy boys with huge eyes. but so far so good . Funny you all should be all talking about getting medication into little ones, Like Pam said mine are of the four legged kind,although they don't know that, and its a little to late to tell them now.:lol: but sometimes its a challenge with them as well, Some kitties take them like troopers and some act like you are trying to do them in. Amelie is good I open her mouth and pop them in, Kobie takes his meds twice a day , same thing, no problem, Emma on the other had , is terrified and fights to get away and crys like you are doing her the worst injustice.Mine are the same if you put them in the food they will eat around the pill or they just won't eat the food ,smarter than we give them credit for,the only one that worked on was our golden retriever, Aria, put anything in peanut butter and it was gone,:lol: I guess it doesn't matter if they are two legged or four, they all act the same.So Mrs.Cristi,which movie was so good you couldn't read and which book wasn't so good , you didn't do both.I can't even look at a magazine lately let alone read , I pass out sitting up, to many stiff necks these days.I don't even think wheaties would cure this. I am still struggling to get my christmas stuff all put away, sad state this is. My green and white gingham tablecloth came yesterday, I liked the Christmas one so much I ordered another one in green and white, with solid green napkins, and place mats to put on top when meals are served, for the sloppy people so they don't muck up my tablecloth when eating(DS).Sure looks pretty and cheery with the florals in my wallpaper and curtains, I though it might be a nice change . I think I am still in shock since the decorations came down, slow recovery this year, must be the way I feel , usually feels good to get things back to normal.hopefully I recover by spring.:lol: uummm I am waiting for the pictures ,it not nice to keep Ellen impatiently waiting,:lol:
Hi Marti :wave:.You would think if them socks can walk by themselves they could into the washing machine to, oh wouldn't that be nice. maybe someday we will have bad smell sensors in fabrics and a magnetic sensor in the washing machine that would pull everything into it.Wow thats a stretch,isn't it. :lol:
Angie Hi:wave:, thankyou for the picture.well aren't you just the cutest thing to. you are as I imagined in my mind :lol: You Ladies are all so beautiful I am not posting a picture until I have had my extreme makeover:lol:Oh my gosh Angie I think all of those outfits sound wonderful, with shoes boots and jewellery to match, you will be hot regardless which one you choose,When I worked at Eatons years ago, I had some nice outfits with matching accessories, they made me feel so good, I hope to start getting somethings this year, little by littlle , but my new pink lingerie jammiesand bathrobe do have a few rhinestones and my slippers have a little maribu fluff on them ,now I just need to lose this weight so I can wear them. I made a pact with myself they stay in the drawer, till I 'm not fat no more.:nono:So I'm thinking spring:yes:
Hi Susan :wave:.Birthday wishes to Rebecca, TV huh lucky girl, So you have been getting drunk of cookies ,thats a very discreet way of getting it done:lol: When I worked at Eatons , we had a lovely little scottish lady named Helen ,every Christmas she would make us rum balls,and we would sneak them from under the counter when no one was around, the rum was so strong when we pulled the lid off it was enough to render you intoxicated without consumption:lol: but they were gooooooood. I miss Helen and her rum balls.:lol:Hope your having a great day.
Hi Pam :wave: Does Angies Monte know about this introduction between Angie and Tony Hillerman ,I'm not sure he would be thrilled about that:nono: :lol: How are you doing today, did you get any of my snow yet, I did send some your way, I hope you enjoy it:lol: :snf:
Hi Ann ,how are you doing this fine cold brisk snowy day, I hope you have a big shovel cause I sent quite a bit , to you as well.:sman:
Hi Sue:wave: I hope that everything is going well for you and your family,hows the weather your way are you still home or have you gone back to the sunshine and warmth.
Hi Julie :wave: glad to hear all the bloodwork was good, I still think when you are not so stressed , amazing things will happen for you, wishing you the best for you in the new year
Hi Mindee:wave: How did Tommy make out with the job situation, did he have the interveiw yet?? If You are planning baby #2 it would be really helpful if he could find something soon, for all of your sakes. Glad to hear his hand is healing well,((Hugs)) What does Brandon think of the snow? still to young yet
to voice an opinion though I suppose .

Well everyone I woke up today to the most amazingly beautiful snow covered ground and trees this morning, I finally got the big fluffy white snowflakes, a little late, but still just as beautiful.I haven't done much today, and probably won't , this not feeling well and not having energy to do anything is stressful, but I know it will get done eventually. Whats the rush right its not like its going anywhere.I think its time for a little nourishment ,tummy is a cross between rumbling and upset , so that means soup is on the preferred menu, I will come back later and see what everyones up to, till then have a wonderful afternoon.

Just have a min.

I'm feeling horrible today. All stuffed up and coughing......those socks can dance a little longer today!

Jane......BIG hugs yours way. So sorry to hear about your BIL. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers today.

Cristi.....That's funny about hiding your head! You must have been cold! That is the only time I stick my head under the blankets.

Katy.....I'm surprised you didn't get snow. We had some last night, although it's all gone today!! (hurray!!!) but it's suppose to snow more this weekend. UGH!!

Ellen....there you are! Was starting to worry about you! Must not keep us in suspense as to your where abouts! :)

Oh girls...I need to get going. I'm feeling awful so I'm going to go take a nap or something. I will be back later maybe to chat some more.

Take care

Postcard from the edge
 

There I was perched on the edge of the earth, ready to drop off it. Then I thought to myself.... “ What the heck am I doing??? There are smart butt comments to make still and thoughts and joys to share with my wonderful jaded lady gals. I am sure you have all forgot about me in the three months I have been missing in action. Believe me, it was not my intention to be gone so long. The stress and struggle to get thru my 20 credit Fall term and the aggravation of my piece of poo computer made time observation briefly leave me. Now here it is January, a New Year and a new term of school and I am amazed. Amazed that I made it thru my first term of school ( straight A’s by the way) and I made it thru the stress of still not being able to find a job and being so broke I look for change on the street to get by. I had to worst Christmas I have ever had and the worst New Years Eve, but I am still kicking and screaming my way through the hours and days and weeks that keep racing by at high speeds. When I get the chance, I will try to share some funny pictures of Christmas and me. I have packed on the pounds like some pregnant rhino and I have grown my hair out some and changed the color a bit. That has me entirely depressed and disgusted with myself so that I try not to look in the mirror and hate going anywhere outside of the house. I start on live patients next week taking Full mouth x-rays on the family that would do it and such. I am scared out of my freaking mind to work on life people instead of my fake ones. I can barely sleep just thinking about my first appointment on Tuesday. I hope I don’t pass out on my patient. LOL That would be funny, but not. hee hee
Anywho, I miss you all and wish I had the money to get a new computer so I could get on more often to share in the group, I feel so left out over here all by myself. Hi to all the new girls and the other sweet regulars. Thank you to Cristi for not forgetting about me and keeping me cheered up with her sweet cards and emails. If anyone feels like corresponding with me since I have a hard time getting on to the sight , feel free to ask me to PM you my e-mail address. It is easier for me to just get online and check my email and talk that way. However I will try to get on more often to the Jaded ladies sight and catch up this term.
I just hope I don’t make a fool out of myself this term with live patients. Everyone wish me good luck, well if you want to. You are all in my thoughts and I send my hugs your way. I am still alive and hope to make it thru another three months. My first National board exam in feb. Chow for now.

Shanna,seems to me that because you care so much is the same reason you'll be wonderful with live pt's.I haven't ment you yet, I'm Pam. Girls. it's been :rain: nonstop. No walk for 2 days now .I'm bumed. It's scale day and though I've managed to stay in my cals limits I'm sure I won't be lossing as much as I might of. :( Ellen,how is your kitty? Mine are all in the house worm and cosy. One good thing about winter is they are all close by and not running a muck outside theatening local wild life.(mice,birds,gofers,ect)Kate,1940 House? Cool, I haven't seen that. I've read about how hard it was back then and am very interested to see this.Got my son off to work and all caught up with housework . Am a little restless. Maybe I'll go read for a while. Ho hum. Love to all Pam

Hi Ladies~

Up late this evening watching tv and reading. Finished the one book and started another-will finish it tonight. Just have to see how it ends-I think I know but want to see if I am right. :D

Ellen~girly why haven't you gone to the doc sooner? If it is that bad you should head straight to the emergency room. I know what a pain they are but still...don't want anything bad to happen to you. The book I was trying to read is Buried Lives and I read two pages but decided I wanted to see the movie more. Some cop flick that I can't even remember the name of...go figure. I liked it tho and had to finish watching. The book I will finish tonight. Then will start another tomorrow-in a reading mood again. Anyway...glad to hear Amelie is feeling better.

Marti~it must be going around. Take care of yourself and hope you get to feeling better soon. I am sure the laundry can wait another day or two so you just relax all you need to. Our bedroom is soooo cold at night and I do tend to cover my head. Most times tho I don't cover it completely, just enough to keep from suffocating!

Ms Shanna! I am soooo happy you decided to drop in! I know you have been very busy with school and trying to find a job but we miss you around here. And you are very welcome for all the cards. Sending good vibes and some luck your way for your test next week and month. :lucky: :goodvibes: :crossed: I am sure you will be fine with the 'real' patient next week. Just don't let yourself get stressed about it. Hope you get to post the pics-look forward to seeing them. Thank you for the ones in the e-mail-they were so cute! Loved the antlers! You take care and post when you can. :grouphug:

Pam~was it you who said you lived close to Big Bear? I saw the weather tonight and Big Bear had A LOT of snow! The roads leading up were horrible and thought they said were closed. Everyone seems to be getting some freaky weather. I remember back in '87/'88 we had a freak storm in Thousand Oaks and got snow. Never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. And of course I had to take a pic because no one else would have believed it either. Wasn't a lot but being in CA the kids had never seen snow till then. It was cool!

Anyway...thought I give my eyes a break from reading. Right, and get on the computer where the screen is even worse. Going to go finish my book. Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing and say HI! See ya tomorrow sometime I think.

Forgot to mention...Marti I did notice the changes when you mentioned it a few days ago-kept forgetting to say something. Also...has anyone been having any problems since the changes? When I go to post it will say it didn't take my post or something like that then I go bak and hit submit again and it says it is a duplicate...yadda, yadda, yadda. Then when I log out it won't log me out-says an error occured. It has done this to me every time I post since the changes were made. Anyway... not big deal was just curious if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. Nighty night!

Hello girls.....

I never did take a nap. My laundry was bugging me too much and so I danced them right into the washing machine!! :dizzy:

I even ran to the grocery store (ok...I'll admit it, I DROVE to the grocery store) and bought some fruit--banana's and oranges. I LOVE Oranges, but can't seem to eat them ALL the time. Weird isn't it? And banana's....only like them in the winter. Another weird thing! (maybe I should have posted that in the "quirks" thread!)

Cristi--I have had that happen to me a couple times! So you're not the only one. I was wondering why I got the message that an error occured then to end up saying that it was a duplicate...strange. But I haven't had it happen since. After reading about you taking a break from reading...you should have seen my face...one eyebrow was raised thinking just what you wrote "taking a break from reading to get on the computer?" Hope you don't strain your eyes!!

Pam--Did you get some reading in? What are you reading right now? I think it's great that you go walking. I still haven't really gone out in my neighborhood enough to get myself going. I did it a handful of times, but that was it. I like walking with someone and not by myself. Do you walk by yourself or do you have company? Hope the rain goes away for you so you can walk. We have snow. Not too happy about that! But what can I do. (maybe go have a talk w/mother nature and have my neighbors think I'm a lunatic! :lol: )

Shanna--Good to see ya. Hope to see you post more. You already got my e-mail if you ever decide to chat.

Hello to everyone else. Not much going on but laundry today. No more dancing socks and no more towels crying in the corner in my bathroom. Everyones happy. (ok...I must be sick because my laundry apparently has feelings!)

James called not too long ago and told me it was pouring outside and I went out to look and all we had was snow. HUGE flakes. My car and the truck were already covered. So weird for Oregon. This year may be for strange weather.

I'm off to browse around and keep myself occupied. Still trying to figure out a page for my scrapbook. So many cool things and I haven't used any of it yet!

Talk to you gals later!
