I cain't do nothin but wait.

i will wait with you---especially for lobsters,puffins,lighthouses and seagulls!!!{and pine trees}

I'm being punished for vacation. Yesterday I was shrouded in cold, damp fog all day, but 1/2 mile away the entire city was sunny all day.

According to my regular morning radio talk show, Portland, Oregon is the healthiest place in the US to have a baby. I'm sure that the cutest babies in the US are born here. You cannot believe how excited I'm getting!!!!!! I'm going to buy the baby shower gift this weekend. It's a stroller that isn't just a stroller ---it's a travel system---carseat and base for the car-- plus I'm sure I'll have to pick up a few more babyclothes because this child must have the cutest wardrobe ever.

Kiwi and Bagz are going to form a tourist/gift marketing empire!

Sugar's blog is sweet today. She knows how to make a man happy.

I am so stressed.

Kiwi Pie, the job was on the bay on some property owned by a very rich woman who left it to be preserved and stuff. On the water. Huge house all windows. Huge plants outside. I'm not getting the job. Had to tell them I have these classes so they'll want somebody who acts like they want to stay there forever.

But ... tomorrow I'm going on vacation. I'm taking DS to see that college and I've rented a suite on the water there. Gulf water I think. Suite with two room and full kitchen which I won't use. While he's romping around the college, I can study and not look out the window. Coulda got a cheaper room inland at a regular motel but this seemed a better idea. They gave a discount because of the college affiliation.

Does a Moderator have the pull to get that carrot moved off the front comment page? It makes migraines I think.

Wab, I heard a song that I think was about your area. The only lines I can remember are:

Three hours of sunshine
All of them gray
Suicide Prevention Team
has all run away.

What ever happened to the song "THE BLUEST SKIES YOU'LL EVER SEE ARE IN SEA-ATTLE!!!! AND THE HILLS THE GREENEST GREEN IN SEA-ATTLE"????---CHEER UP WABBY---THE GARDEN SHOW IS VERY SOON!!!---COWPEACH~~~ HOW LOVELY FOR YOU TO HAVE A SEMI--VACATION!!!! GO FOR A WALK ON THE BEACH AT LEAST!!!XOXO

DH is still talking to people, endlessly. He says he doesn't know enough about how to structure a partnership to decide if the numbers justify doing this. God, I wish he'd just plunk the money down and get started. I am so stressed out -- I gave DD a big lecture yesterday about not doing enough to fundraise for her music trip (her school band and chorus are going to NYC in May and the kids have to each pay about $600), complete with the whole "you know we're living on savings now blah blah blah you have to do your part". Like she doesn't have enough to do :rolleyes:

Jet is so helpful. She dug a hole while outside for 10 minutes by herself this afternoon and I had to give her a bath. What a mess. She now has so much coat that I'm not sure I even got her completely wet. But boy did she get me completely wet!

Wabby, so exciting about doing all that baby shopping!! You're going to have toooooooo much fun! I think you were on vacation when I finally got to see my new little nephew, Saturday before last. My SIL and DD and I went shopping and then went to visit. Ohmy gosh he is so adorable! Probably the cutest baby outside of Portland, OR...

Your college visit stay sounds lovely, Peachie! Good choice. You may look out the window now and then, it'll de-stress you! (As opposed to distress you) Do not defenestrate however.

See youse guys later. Wabby, send me that PHOTO!!

Kiwi

yah wabby ---send her that PHOTO---how the **** else will i ever get to see it----to those who saw my brother's pic with the Coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs---he met him in the elevator at the hotel in Ottawa after the Leafs=Senators game-----of course "we" lost {leaf fans are die hards}---i realize you are not HOCKEY PEOPLE----but i do recall Painty saying she likes hockey------------anyway---blahhhhhhhhhhh---my brother was thrilled------REGARDING KIWONKS RANT AT DD---- i know how you feel---i did some of that ranting to dd when she wanted to go away to University ----the scholarship she could have had for the college in OUR town would have MADE her money -----the scholarship was worth MORE each year than the actual tuition----ANYWay-------what can you do---we are not the bottomless pits they sometimes mistake us for...............tell dh to get to it---the tourism business is REALLY big in new england and the maritimes----maybe he can come up here to the trade show in halifax----they always love having "guests"--------------HOP TO IT!!!!

What carrot???


Have a wonderful time, Peachy!

Bagzz-- We love HOCKEY! We use to have season tixs to the Jersey Devils wayyyyy back when they first came to NJ.

Cowie: Those are positively the most uplifting words in a song. And yes...Doooo take a walk on the beach..it can be so refreshing.

Kiwi: sounds like DH is gettin cold feet... PUSH him to git off his duff and do it! And I think miss Puter Princess should create a website fer it! Yes i will order a Puffin festooned Tshirt...Speaking of which Bagzilla, do you have a web fer your wonderful smelly soap and salts store?

I wish to also have that inane carrot BANISHED ! Everytime I catch a glimpse of it I slit my eyes and visions of a gun come into my head. :s:

Oh, THAT carrot. I'm going to go after it with my vegetable peeler.

Something has sucked every drop of energy I may have even had out of me today. I feel like they gave me a giant sleeping pill and still expect me to function. Hope I make it to bedtime. :(

Peachez, Yea on that getaway for you. You deserve a nice refreshing break. Take Sugar with you - she sounds like she needs a reinvigorating vacay too.

Bagzie, don't know nuthin' bout hockey, but it's always a thrill to meet someone famous. There was a movie filming in town the other day and DH saw Lawrence Fishburn standing on the sidewalk. He said it was so strange because he felt like Lawrence should recognize him. DH, that is.

The skies in Seattle only seem like they're the bluest because you seldom see the sun there, and when you do, it's a shock. Naw, it's not really all that bad. I love Seattle and Portland too.... but Peaches song definitely applies to the winter here so far. Bagzie, I'm not going to the garden show because I need to stick close to home in case the stork arrives w/ a little bundle.

Kiwi, I'm in your DH's camp. It's good that he's cautious about investing in a business. Always much better to have all the details settled going into a deal than after the fact when partners can have complete opposite ideas about where they want a business to head. A good partnership is really, really good and a bad partnership is h*ll on earth. It's hard to be patient, though, I'm sure.

Kiwi, apparently our picture broke the internet because it came back saying that they couldn't find your hotmail address.

Maybe I can try to resize the picture and send it out again, Wabs! Can't wait to hear all about it when that little baby arrives.

KIWI---BE CAREFUL!!! WABBY HAS BEEN SEEN AT YOUR DH'S CAMP!!!! WHAT IS THAT TROLLOP UP TO NOW!!!!-------HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA----I AM IN KIWONK'S CAMP---GET ME MY DAMN SOUVENIRS!!!!-------i would like a website,miss shatzi----some people were in the shop from Calgary today and they asked me the same thing----i wonder if i would actually sell much from the website????????? i have a friend who does websites so i may have to actually consider it!!!

Bagz, you are quite the card, girly. Ya know what I meant --- although I did sound pretty serious. I'm not very serious, though - why do I write like I am? The amount of frou frou soap you would sell to us cows would pay for your website. You'd have to mail soap faster than chicken bones. I hope those chicken bones get here before I start my diet to end all diets. Dem bones, dem bones, dem chick-en bones....

I got a new cell phone. I'm as good at figuring it out as I am at emailing pictures. I have 30 days to decide if I like it or trade it in for something else. It doesn't have a camera. Do I need one?

The baby shower is going to be on Feb. 5th. My friend is giving it for DDIL. DD & I volunteered to do the food and cake. Baby shower luncheon. We're making a cobb salad, and what else sounds good?

I'm just full of questions today.

You will all be impressed to know I got the employee w-2's done a whole week before I absolutely had to. It's a new record for me.

I have 28 minutes to kill before I go home. I'd like to kill that carrot instead....ok, I edited this, so now it's only 23 minutes to go. Not that I'm counting...22 minutes.

I'm going to take a picture of the mural DS did in his babys room. It's prettier than the picture of the Wabbits.
