    Jaybird...I might suggest you buy a large trunk with a lock on it that can be used as toy storage now and then when she is a TEENAGER.....LOCK HER IN IT!!!!!!!   LOL!  I don't know...I just found the teen years were the tough ones for me.  P.S.  Avery is a real little cutie. I mean that too.  Kathy, hope you are having a great time.  I think I am going to fly to work tomorrow on my broom.  That way I can not only act like a witch all day but get home for happy hour faster.  Junie, I will take care of your buckets here while you are in Dallas.  Dee....happy Thursday...happier Friday.  NM...Kitty....E....Connie...Lori....CAZ....Casino.....Other E....and anyone else I have left out, have a great weekend.  HD

    Sounds yummy Dee. Sorry to hear you are still battling that darn cold! That one is really hanging on!

    Junie, have a safe trip. And HD, we are gonna be in her buckets like there's no tomorrow!

    Kathy, glad you made it safely, what were the hold ups? Tell mom and dad we all said hi. Darrell said he will take 2 of the blue hawaii's. And the good ones that are like a shake, not the cheap version! Would love to see a pic of you with mom and dad -- hint hint!

    Suppose to be a gorgeous day here today. 60 and no wind. We went to town yesterday, so I am playing in the dirt today with a little cleaning mixed in! Allergies have kicked in, as the juniper trees are pollenating. Hoping it won't be too bad!

    Freak Out,

    Lori

    Hi drinking buds! Having a hard time getting wifi, so just checking in when I can. Jaybird, saw pics of Avery....she is sooooo adorable....and you are so beautiful! Was so nice to see them! Lori, the delays were from the snow/ice the day before...ATL was so backlogged it was unbelievable. BUT had 2 Bloody's waiting on the tarmac here, and then another drink after leaving ATL, so all was good. Dee, that looks like an awesome drink! Hope you get totally well really soon!!!! Junie, hope you will have a good trip to Dallas....and a wedding too I think? Hope it all goes well, and you have fun!!! HD, hope your  broom made it all the way to work...that was sooooo funny!!!

    Looks like a real "pau hana" tonight....at a neighbors...several people get together there every Fri night....my Dad has done that for yrs...unfortunately as they all age, when someone passes away, it ends up being at someone else's house. The fellow that hosts it now, is 90...but my dad is older than he is! Everyone brings a dish...and with all the cultures here, the dishes are always so varied, and ono (yummy)! Weather is great....miss you all!!!

    Okole Maluna to Freaky Friday,

    Kathy

    Good morning to you all, wherever you areSmile

    Going to get the oil changed in car and get the rest of my wheel rims this morning. 

    E- haven't heard from you in awhile, how are you doing? Kitty did you get any news about your sis?

    Have a great day everyone!

    Yea, been rather quiet here at The HTL! I too hope everyone is doing well, those that had surgeries, doing chemo, waiting for test results, taking trips, and even broom flying!

    I myself feel like SH*T. I think it is just allergies, and hoping the same. The juniper trees here are full of pollen, and for some odd reason, about 5 yrs ago, I developed the allergies. Took a 12 hr, daytime antihistimine yesterday, and it totally knocked me out! Not taking anymore of those!

    So if I could just have a tad bit of pampering Jocks, it would be greatly appreciated!

    Kathy, hope that Pau Hana was fun! And you are taking lots of pictures, right?

    Hi ladies - so sorry to have been MIA, I started driving again last week, and have been out & about trying to catch up on errands, etc. Feeling ok, driving *really* tires out my shoulders and I am beat by the time I get home to make dinner, help with homework, do dishes, etc. Anyway, feeling pretty good, but still can't wear a regular bra (finding one that actually fits is the next challenge) and am getting REALLY tired of this surgical bra. Had one beer last night, and have had 3 hot flushes so far today - wtf?  Going for a long walk soon to clear my head.

    Dee - hope you're better soon! At least we have some sunshine this weekend - sounds like a good time to cookout.

    Safe travels everyone - especially on that broom, HD!  xo, E

    I just want to complain! Whine and cry and carry on! Sneezing, soar throat from being stuffed up, head feels like its going to explode and didn't get much sleep last night, due to the headache I had, and still have!

    Thank you!

    E, glad you checked in and are feeling better.

    Goldie--an old MD once gave my mother a "cough syrup" recipe that works great:  1 part honey, 1 part lemon juice, one part hot water, and one part whiskey. Sip a teaspoonful every 15 minutes or so.  Either the sore throat and cought will go away or you won't care anyway. . .

    So sorry that you feel shitty Lori Frown

    Been there done that, I used Theraflu and saline nose spray. Took 2 weeks, but I seem to be better now. Hope your cold doesn't hang on as long. Pollen, thats a whole other issue-ugh! Spring is coming!

    Happy Sunday.  I also am sorry you feel like crap Lori.  Stay in today and see if it helps.  Meet me at the pool peeps!  Dee, I thought you said you took meth to get rid of your cold?  Hmm!  OK, getting my bucket!  HD

    OH DEAR.....HD.....What happened to you? I am LMFAO! That look is NOT for you!

    NM, thanks for remedy, but no whiskey here! Darn. I did get rid of the headache, so that is a BIG PLUS.

    When the wind blows (gusts) you can see the pollen blowing off the trees, looks like smoke! Maybe I should just have a rum and coke later?

    Still looking at HD (what were you thinking?) Punk? I love you! ...and I will still be your friend! But I think you need to look for a new hair dresser! Let me sit with you by the pool!

    Kathy/Junie hope you guys are enjoying your va-ca's.

    xoxoxo, Lori

    Lori, So sorry to hear that you are feeling so crappy...I feel miserable for you (well I do feel badly that you are sick)! That "hot toddy" that NM mentioned sounds like a winner...might be worth a try, and like she said either you will feel better or you won't care anyway after all that liquor! Go ahead and whine and complain...you know we are your buds and are here for you. I hope the TT's are taking good care of you and trying to make you feel better!

    Dee, Glad you are finally over that crappy cold....it sure liked you cause it hung around sooooo long. Hope you got your car all taken care of!

    HD, Ok....will meet you at the pool...after I drag myself away from this beach that is! It is so gorgeous right here at the beach they are a blk away from...I am surprised my mom doesn't just take her walks on the beach. It is very windy now, and cool at times (which I LOVE), but the water is toooooo cold to swim in for me. Was surprised to see some people had their babies in the water....brrrrrrrr. Such fun to see people bring their dogs as the dogs love the water so much. Usually they have weddings on this beach, but I guess because of the wind, they aren't doing it right now. Mostly brides from Japan.

    Anxious to see the new Alice in Wonderland also...was lucky on the plane to see 3 movies...."Blind Side", "Whip It", and "Up"...helped pass the hours! Eating too much, shopping too much....just wish I had brought my largest suitcases as I have a LOT to bring home....hope I can fit it all, and will prob buy more till I leave on Friday!

    Hoping Lori will get well soon,and that junie is having a good time in Dallas, and that all my other breast friends will have a SUPER SUNDAY!!!

    Aloha Nui Loa,

    Kathy

    HaHa, LMAO...just saw HD's "new look" also, and your post Lori....looks like you stuck your finger in an electric outlet,  HD!!! Go on now, get your hair brushed!!! OR jump in the pool and get it wet so you can slick it down...LOL. SO cute! Well, just 7 am here, but my Dad invited some people to meet us at the country club for breakfast...so gotta go wash my hair so I don't  look like HD!!!

    We all gotta do that dance for KK and her sister! Woo Hoooooooo. Takes all my crappiness away, for sure!  Also getting a laugh outta the "butt dial" ha ha!

    Kathy, sounds like you are having an awesome time, and I know you won't want it to end. I think that it is so cool that your 90 yo parents host these parties and have 90 yo friends to come to them!

    I am feeling better today, just stuffy from the allergies. That I can deal with! Just boiled me some salt water to snort! Maybe that will help too. We did lots of work on the town this weekend (or should I say, Darrell did lots of work on the town), I'll have to post some pics. Speaking of pics, Kathy.......you better have some to share. But none of babies being born in the ocean, please! I saw Blind Side, good movie! Didn't see the other two tho.

    Been a great week end weather wise. Sunny and 60's. Its fricken snowing out now! WTH!

    Cheers to KK and her sissy!

    Lori, I am ROFLMAO....I should have written more clearly....I meant to say that people were taking thier babies in the ocean, not that  babies were being born there! Not taking many pics...I took 2 at the beach yesterday cause its so darn pretty! My parents only have 1 90 yr old friend left....all their other friends are MUCH younger! Glad you're feeling a bit better....but SNOW again....sheesh!!!

    Love the kitty dance, Dee...almost made me dizzy! LOL

    junie, Hope you had a good trip and are heading home, safe and sound!

    Bottoms Up.

    Now I am laughing at myself! DUH! I went back and re-read what you wrote Kathy. I just took it in a different context! You need to get a picture of you with your parents!

    Most of the snow didn't stick, as it rained prior. I am hoping it will help with keeping the pollen out of the air!

    Hope everyone has a great week!

    Lori

    I have to go back and take a peek at HD......brings a smile to my face!
