    Good Morning Friends. Guess the powers that be changed their minds last night. Hmmmmm wonder when the shut down is going to happen.
    I'm still reveling in the glow of my rightness, tho I'm not gloating anymore. hahahahhahh Today is clean-up day after the grands. Pick up all the bits of paper from art projects and such. Not to mention that lovely phone call I will be making.

    Happy Anniversary Karen. Nothing better than Chinese Take Out to celebrate an event.
    I use a good old fashioned calendar stuck on the wall right next to my desk. If it's not written there it doesn't get done. OR remembered. Actually truth be told, my life is on my desk.

    Charlene, he only got a little red faced. And I was so looking forward to calling 911. Bummer!

    Cherryl, welcome home. Glad you had a good time. Did you make friends with any cute cabana boys?

    Margaret, I have Outlook. Maybe I should try to figure it out. Might be a way to tame the paper monster just a bit. What a nice friend to have your house painted for you. Can he be my friend too?

    Cy, mine say "your so funny grammie". Funny kidlet story of the day. Yesterday I caught Ileeah (3) with the scissors just about to chop off a hunk of hair. Childrens scissors thank goodness. Took them away from her of course and she said, "but grandma, I have to cut my hair, my bangs are to long". Thought I had saved the day. But when I got home and started cleaning up the "art" mess on the dining room table I found a lovely swatch of shiney blond hair. UHOH!!!! Thankfully her mommy was amused by the tale.
    Holding your hand today.

    Socal, it was the vote that did it I'm sure.

    Brenda/BMD, I missed the excitement yesterday too. Glad I did. My dear hubby has a 69 Datsun Roadster waiting for hell to freeze before he even thinks about restoring it. Stupid thing has been sitting on a trailer following us where ever we go for 15 years.
    Too funny about the bike. That must have been a site.

    Peter, you sound like you are feeling better. Sweet dreams

    Nicki, I'm sorry you had a bad day yesterday. Seems that kind of thing is going around these days. Hubby is having the same issue. A few months ago his employers cut our benefits and his pay so now we are making about a 1/3 less than we were. Burns my buttons. In our case any place he would choose to look for another job would be an hour commute each way.
    Histoplasmosis is what the man said. Tho how he can tell that from looking at an xray is beyond me. Dr Goggle hasn't taught me how to do that yet. But the man gets the big bucks for a reason sooooooo I just passed on the info. He even said "tell hubby to call him if he needed confirmation" I do believe I like this new guy.
    Glad you slept well.

    Charlene, google has a calendar? how cool is that?

    Gonna click the button before going on to the next page. Hoping were still here. Fingers crossed.

    YEAH!!! Were still here.

    Madison, Hate it when they do that. You would think Vampires would be experts at getting blood from a vein. Hope this week isn't as busy for you.

    Laura, I'm so sorry to read about your MIL. I HATE CANCER too.
    And about hubbys job. That just does not seem right. I'll be praying for your family.
    I get to go to the dentist tomorrow. Yeah for me.

    Jaz?

    Margaret, very cool on the bike. UHOH on the bridesmaid dress woes. Best not to tell the bride. All will work out in the end.

    Susan, you are sweet too. Big warm fuzzie hugs for us all. "Don't be sad alone", excellent advice.

    Good morning Emelee

    OOOO almost forgot my second story for the day.....Dear daughter drives like a bat out of you know. I am constantly lecturing her about it. Not safe, stupid, what happens if you have a blow out, blah blah blah. Yesterday morning while she was driving here I was telling her she needed to slow down or she was going to get a ticket one of these days. She said "I never get pulled over mom, I'm to cute. Cops don't pull over cute girls." Yeah right....guess who got a ticket for doing 87 in a 55 zone on her way home yesterday.
    She said when she called me after she drove away from our dear men in brown (highway patrol wears brown in CA) Go ahead mom, you know you want to say it.....So I did...."I told you so"
    How at 26 she's escaped getting a ticket so far is beyond me.

    Here we go again. So hoping they figured out a way to change things without shutting us down.

    Good morning amigas and mate (Peter)......(love that mate stuff)......I want to post one thing about yesterday and then Gina I promise to move on........Vickie you had every freaking right to defend yourself openly here on the boards.....when someone with mental disorders trys to bring disruption to this thread because they are jealous and stalking someone and doesn't want them to have relationships with anyone but themselves then we all just need to be aware and take precautions.....Jas thanks so much for watching out for us......I swear if I ever need to track down the ex for money I am hiring you and Cheri......he will never be able to hide..........Gina I understand were you are coming from......a rational sane place but when you are dealing with someone who is irrational then you do what needs to be done.......Vickie I just hope you are having some computers problems this morning and not still smarting from the wounds that were flung your way yesterday.......we all love you sweatheart...please check in.................

    Shokk you should probably wear a dust mask when doing yardwork anyway. Especially, when mowing or weedeating.

    very good question Shokk. Where is Amy? And everyone else whose names I can't remember but haven't checked in for a while? And Cheri, what did the doctor say yesterday????
    Vicki, hoping with Shokk that you just over slept.
    Jaz, why on earth would she change her user name? Doesn't she know we all can see it when she does????? I am so without a clue over this nonsense.

    Shokk, you should definately be wearing a mask when doing yardwork. And goggles. And while your at it add a cape.....You can be our SuperHero.

    Shokk -- I love that show. The host is Niecey Nash and she is hilarious.

    Shirl -- I don't know why she changed her name. I don't try to figure out silliness. It reminds me when my niece was small and would cover her eyes with her hands and think we couldn't see her and that she was invisible.

    Shokk, I'll be BatGirl, you can be Wonder Woman. You get the really cool airplane.

    Jaz, no telling with slightly off kilter folks.

    Deb, I'm sure your brain is hanging out with mine on a beach in the bahamas.

    LOL..that is Hank, my friend Bonnie's great dane. He is beyond huge. When I was visiting her Hank managed to get a package of hot dog buns from the top of the FRIDGE and eat them. He didn't disturb anything else, just plucked them off the top of the fridge...LOL Isn't he something else?

    OK…I have been fooling around on my blog instead of posting to everyone…my bad!

    I need to go take a shower so I have time to call my sis before I go to work. She went home from the hospital last night and seems to be on the mend, though she will be off work for another 6 weeks….

    I’m glad to see some ladies I have not seen in a while posting…but where is Amy and about a dozen other folks whose names escape me at the moment…remember my brain is at the beach with Shirley’s brain….anyway, missing lots of folks. We may need to have an old fashioned round-up…but without the branding irons…LOL

    Hugs everyone

    Quick fly by, as I am at work. I took all kinds of notes when I got home from the Lake mon night, but sad news... something is wrong with my laptop. The screen would go black and say all this stuff which I couldn't read fast enough. I could read "dumping physical memory" Arrgghh- that sounds bad. I am going to a Geek Squad or Computer Nerdz today, hopefully.
    I feel like I have lost my lifeline, but right now I have to get back. I need to read and catch up. I just didn't want anyone to think I choose to stay away, although I could live on the Lake, I would just need my computer and access to the circle.

    Do you all have the sillies today.?

    SoCal-I had that exact same car in 1979 when I graduated from high school. Mine was a 1962. It was black and had red molding on it. I loved that car so much. Can you image what it would be worth today? Mine was a 3 speed on the column and I remember in the cold of winter I would have to drive it in 1st gear for 10 minutes before I could change gears.

    Peter-Good morning but I will bet you are actually sleeping now.

    Nicki-Sorry your job is getting you down.

    Charlene-My husband has definitely mellowed over the years. I think having kids settled him down a lot. He certainly was the life of the party in our 20’s and early 30’s though.

    Oladys-Good morning but I bet you have already had lunch in your time zone. I hope the family got through the hurricane.

    Madison-Thanks for reminding me to put Survivor on my day planner.

    Laura-It sounds like you need some hugs and prayers yourself. I am sending them your way.

    Margaret-I think we need to double date sometime. Seems we and our dh’s have a lot in common. Unfortunately we don’t get up north much. Do you ever come to the San Diego area?

    The rest of you are cracking my up this morning. Well I have to get some work done. Hi to everyone I missed.

    Guess I'll jump in and say Hi to all! \

    I think Melissa and Tami are getting a head start on april Fools Day!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell us they are shutting us down for a day and getting everyones lack of hormones in a panic mode and then POOF......we're still here!

    Another 'not for profit' day for me. I really seriously need to look for a job. My clients have really dropped..(I don't mean they dropped dead!)...the Company isn't getting a major call on new ones and I think it is time to move on. Now, the big question, move on to what???????????????? I really don't have alot of self esteem......I know it doesn't seem that way......I'm fine with people, actually to fine with people, but am stuck on the "I can't do that" mindset. I'll try not to come back with more about it........but no guarantee!

    Nicki: Hope today is better at work for you........I hate snobby people and when you work with them it's miserable. I tell you, the right job will come up, you've got alot of good credentials.

    Laura: Sorry things are not looking the brightest for you and your family right now. come on in and stay in the center of the circle for awhile, we'll take good care of you. So sorry to hear of the problems with both MIL and FIL.

    Madison: Glad the Xanax helped you sleep! You are probably going over figures in your sleep with all the loans closed the past couple of weeks!

    Margaret: Last minute alterations........a true nightmare and probably a real good thing that the Bride doesn't know about it!! Like you said, You know what you are wearing and it fits!! Have a great time....are you going to be gone a few days or just driving back and forth?

    Susan: Aw Thanks...............We're all so sweet you could sweeten lemonade with us!!

    Alwayshope: The one liners are back!! Missed ya.......still need you to fly in and show me that stitch again!

    As Shokk would say.........BRB

    I would love to take another trip. I hate that my job gets in the way of fun. I would love to go to Florida with Mary Beth and Vickie too but I think they've had more than enough of me to last the year.

    What type of work have you done in the past? Maybe signing up with a temp agency for a month or two would help you decide what you are interested in on a longer term basis.

    Hi everyone - I may never get caught up. I need cliff notes for sure this time.

    Thanks for all the hugs, prayers and well wishes. They were very welcoming. Knowing I had all my sisters and brother with me was heartwarming.

    I'm off to try to read a bit but have lots of things to try to get caught up on - mainly laundry.

    Hugs
