Three random facts:

[namelessgirl]

I'm paranoid about early voting. I want to give "them" the least amount of time to "lose" my vote as possible. :huh: I'm still torn on who to vote for and not as resigned as I thought I was.


I'm finishing the last of the banana bread. What am I going to eat tomorrow???


I've had a splitting headache for two days. Normally if I get some sleep they pass, but not this one! Grrrrrr Ow!

[namelessgirl]

I woke up this morning with a bloody nose.

The cats are very highstrung lately. Must start letting them outside.

I'm hoping Larrissa will help me drink all this tea! It's ridiculous. I'll have to post a picture of my tea stash later. Someone remind me or poke me or something

[Lorrell]

I had green tea with honey for breakfast and made J a cup so I could use his bags for an eye bath...he thinks there is going to be more, but there isn't.


I've got to do my order, mail off a LMAO, Vote, so our supervisor of elections can have something to thwart, etc.


My eyes are open but the brain and body have not fully engaged, it's a bit like yesterday, only worse...

[gwensmom]

We had a very loud thunderstorm last night. Lots of thunder, lightening and torrential rain. This weather is making everyone miserable with sinus problems.

Memphis is one of the top ten worst places to live if you have allergies or upper respiratory issues. I know people from here who had asthma and then moved away and never had symptoms again.

OK. I will get some more pics of Gwen but I will have to ask Gwensdad's permission before I post one of him. He's pretty cute.

[stargal1998]

1. I cut about 4 layers of skin off the top of my right hand (ring and pinkie fingers) last night. They're stiff, and I can't do much with them--that means no mailart.

2. I saw my cousin for the first time in 6 years saturday at the babyshower for his baby. Due any time, he is to be named Zeppellin Lee.

3. A local craft store (Pat Catan's) is having a sale on eyelash yarn and funfur... Time to stock up for the holidays!

[Christine_0701]

I woke up this morning with a horrible wheeze, and taste of phlegm when I cough

That is, when I cough...usually, I just gag

Maybe I should dig out my inhaler....

[sarahkate]

~ Hey! I was just going to post about Tana and THERE she is! Hi Tana! I got a :ph34r: package from you yesterday... thanks for the tunes! :D

~ I think I'm getting sick. No! I don't have TIME to be sick. I have too many things to do. My throat is sore, my ears are hurty, and so is my head. :(

~ Last night I had a dream that I found out my boyfriend was cheating on me with a frumpy older Swedish woman. She worked in a library and wore old lady sweaters. I don't know what that was all about.

[Larrissa]

<i wish my sister would stop hurting my mom>

<my grandpa cant stop crying>

<im STILL sick and not going to the doctor, shit>

Are you worried you aren't mature enough for the C man??? That's my interpretation... Of course you are mature enough for him, SK...

1. I am wearing a pink target shirt, the proceeds of which go to breast cancer research.

2. I want batgirl socks.

3. I'm thinking of starting a collection of superhero-themed socks, as I put supergirl socks through the washer and the dryer and both socks came out (very weird indeed for me--usually I lose a sock or two).

[Lorrell]

1. I did a complete makeover of my bed, mattress pad, flannel sheets with leaf motifs, lovely quilt, etc. maybe I'll visit it sometime before 2am instead of like last night.

2. I must be on a roll because I not only put on underwear today, (unlike yesterday's naughty naughty) but it actually matchs and I feel like some Victoria Secret model.


3. As soon as I can decide what shoes to wear, I'm busting out of here and heading downtown....so look out!

[Larrissa]

fresh addict alert put out on lorrell :lol:

whopper for breakfast.

when grandpa said sister didnt want mother there, i said "well she can bite it :angry: " before i realized i was speaking to a respectable old man.

[Larrissa]

10:30 am ...i dont think we are leaving until around noon.

im having trouble with time. it passes without notice some of the time, and other times its nearly impossible for me to consider filling it.

thanks for having me around still.

[Helquin]

Ack. I've been in ancient Uruk for the last 3 days and I'm exhausted. Awful accomodations, but I did get to meet the mother of God.

I miss Pat Catan's! I used to live about 10 blocks from the one on Cleveland's west side and it was a favorite distraction. :lol:

I wish everybody could hear the kind of news reported on Air America. I'm shocked at how much is hidden in the back pages of major papers -- and completely absent from TV or local newspaper coverage.

[Larrissa]

must bathe and all that bodily maintenence.

ummm, sharon stone is on the tv behind me, i really dont like alot of famous people.

i closed my eyes during most the concert, its not nice to stare, even if they are singing you music.

~ :rofl: Hehee. That's actually a very logical interpretation of my dream BUT if you knew my boyfriend you would be laughing too. Mature. Hehehe.

~ I guess Cory is neither mature or immature. At times I feel like I'm his mother, telling him what to do because he doesn't know how and won't do anything unless he is told to. Then on the other hand he is kind of like a boring old man.

~ Hmm.. Nicole's interpretation really does make sense because I have to admit, even though I was jealous in my dream, I was actually sort of relieved because I was able to leave him guilt free since he was the one who ruined the relationship. I probably feel deep in my heart that he is better suited with some older boring woman like the one in my dream who will take care of him, and won't mind sitting around the house doing nothing but watching tv. <_< Hmm... interesting.

[Larrissa]

if you havent, please dont :: spend time or money on cold creek manor. so bad. stepdad is watching it behind me.

friday is coming up reeeeeal fast, and the bus leaves at 7am. that decision will be made tonight.

computer hugs, ive noticed one exception. yeah.

[Lorrell]

1. I'm downtown and at the library, checking out the PC's here and waiting 1/2 an hour before I go over to the eye doctor to have whatever is in my right eye, taken out....it keep tearing up on me so everyone is giving me looks like "What is she crying about? poor girl. Tears falling like rain down my cheeks.


2. Larissa is making funny jokes about me, but I promise you it's not an addiction. An addiction would require much more ritual and routine than I am capable of. :lol:


3. Oh my oh my! A sight for my sore eyes just walked into the room, wonder how long I can get away with feasting on this! :P :wub:


PS. Oh by the way, Larrissa, I had a look at "The Onion" and I was :lol: last night.
Be a sweetie to your grandpa...I really miss mine now that he's gone, he taught me everything I needed to know about gardening

[Larrissa]

:) its a bigger story than you may know miss lorrell. & the onion kicks ass.

actually i think this might be the first part of the pure anger phase. im fuckin pissed.

my sister better be respectful, cus i dont have much patience reserves today.

[Larrissa]

my black pants have these white pasty spots all over, glue, acrylic medium, and maybe even white paint. momma wanted me to dress up. naw.

GGRRRRRRR :angry: :angry: :angry:

hurry up mommy we need to leave already.

:huh:

Well, it's good to hear she survived the bombing...

I wonder: is she one of the insurgents or is she just one of the citizens there?

...I'm ridiculously late getting up this morning.

It's still raining.

I woke up to dreams/imaginings of a flood already in the night. It was absurd, given that it hasn't been raining nearly long enough, but I had to get up and look anyway.

[namelessgirl]

I wish Larrissa's family would all get along. =\

Last night I dreamt that I was in a college class taught by Dick Cheney. He kicked me out for being a smart ass. What a surprise! :P

I found an awesome herb shop today and got a kick ass amount of oatstraw and chickweed plus cinnamon sticks... for under $3!!!

[nymphette]

i just spent my entire (self) allotted time on the computer catching up on 3RF!!! there were like 20 new pages!!!

we got family pictures done on saturday... i hate pictures of me but the boys look adorable!!!

i wanna know what gwensmom's decision is!!! cuz i'm nosy and curious and never get out of the house anymore and have no life!!! :P

okay, like that isn't NEW news.... <_<

[nymphette]

harrison is eating more and more by mouth every day- today i have decided to skip his tube feeds altogether to see how much he'll eat if he's let to get hungry enough...

he's also walking about 75% of the time now!!!

and julian pulled a 100 pound closet over on top of himself yesterday.... :o he was sent to his room for a time out because he was rowdy at the lunch table and a few minutes later i heard what sounded like his desk top slamming and then he started to scream.... so i ran i n there and he ws under the closet and i lifted it (i dont' know how, my back has been sooo bad lately i can barely lift harrison!) and he crawled out... then i sat and held him for about ten minutes, checking him over... he has a bruise on his arm, a couple of red marks around his eyes where his glasses dug into his face, and a scratch on his back... holy crap was i scared shitless!!!! my poor baby, and he kept saying 'sorry mommy, sorry i drop my closet on me'.... :unsure: poor baby... he had put a belt through the two handles, pretending that it was a lock and chain for his closet.. and he was pulling it and it tipped over on him.... 'me pull my belt and my closet falls and me run really fast, but my closet was too big and i got squished!!'.... it's funny to think about it and his description now.. but i wouldn't even let him sleep, thinking what if he hit his head and has a concussion or something!!!! :P the joys of boys....

[nymphette]

it's been snowing for three days.....

it's darn cold in this house!!!

i'm glad the water tap in the tub drips.. or the pipes would have frozen already!!! our power was out the other night (which means the heat is out and the water!!!) and by the time it came back on, the water was only coming out in dribbles- until i ran it for about five minutes, long enough to get the hot going and melt the ice!!! chris put some kind of heating tape on the pipes under the house....

[Death_Or_Aldona]

our electric went out sometime this morning

without the clock to turn to, i slept in until 3:00

i lost my library card....again.

[gwensmom]

Harrison is just amazing! Eating and walking at home during the time you were predicted to be languishing at the RMH!

Robyn it looks like you are going to have to bolt the furniture to the walls!

I am soooo tired. Thank goodness I am off work for the next two days.

oh yes.. guess who got sent to rona the minute he was off work??... :P

though i am pretty sure it scared enough $hit outta julian he wont' even TOUCH the closet again..... <_<


and scared enough outta me that it'll be nailed to the wall anyhow!!!!!

[namelessgirl]

I forgot one of my classes was cancelled. Hmm, whatever shall I do with these spare moments? :P


I'm very worried about my presentation tonight.


Maybe I'll go knit until it's time for class.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

my computer is being a jerk

i hate windows

i probably should eat something today :P

[Lorrell]

1. Whatever was in my eye is now out but it's all red and sore and Dr. has given me a perscription for eye drops, etc...he thinks it'll be a week or so before it's healed. I have a black satin eye patch (a real one) and he advised me to keep the eye in darkness and let it rest and heal. I drop 4 times a day....duh <_<



2. I drove over to my pharmacy and the pharmacist informed me that the medicine prescribed is on back order and they didn't have it, so I had to go driving around town with one eye to the next damn drugstore :angry:


3. When I got home V. shows up a knocking on my garage door. She's leaving for Georgia in the morning and wanted to say good-bye. She was shocked by my eye, she's filled with a lot of resentment because she didn't get to see Lee and blames Blummy for that! and so on and so forth,etc... I encouraged her to "Fuggitaboutit" and go enjoy Athens! If my teeth and eyes weren't falling apart, I'd be packing my bags and headphones and be off with her. She promised she'd call me when she arrives....Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! :'(

[Lilac]

Oh man, I have a splitting headache.

Store bought Rotisserie chicken for dinner.

I really suck as a mother sometimes.

[kittymao]

I should be getting ready for work, yesh'um.

Oo, chikkin sammich! dat sounds so nummy.

er. yea.
danzig rocks.

*shrugs*

[gwensmom]

Gwensdad said I could post a pic of him so I will try to get a good one this week.

He is really cute and he knows it. :P

My mail order vitamins arrived today and they are so big that I almost gagged taking the second one.

Ahoy, Lorrell! You can pretend to be a pirate until your eye gets better.

[Christine_0701]

I just did my yoga tape and now i had a headache

isn't yoga supposed to be relaxing?

well, I'm gonna wait, and see if it goes away....

[Larrissa]

today was alright, saw grandpa and aunt and sister. things have been 60% settled, with the rest having nothing to do with me. :relief:

ive aquired 60% more belongings today, gonna have to do major sorting.

my ribcage wont cave in. really. breath.

[chunkymonkey]

aren't those so faboo :)


ms. ct scan lady wouldn't shut up about converse sneakers while setting me up for my picture.
I looked like an idiot with the gown, stubly legs, and my chuck taylors.
Had to wear two gowns because the hospital profession refuses to acknowledge FAT people. :wave:

you should have seen chris's face when he came home a couple weeks ago (on one of my very tired days and i was caught up on dishes for my thanksgiving company) and i asked him if he wanted me to heat up some pizza pops or corn dogs for supper....

then i told him i fed his son a chicken pot pie for lunch...

i never used to even keep that kind of food (convenient, prepackaged kind of stuffs) in my house... .when i'm pregnant and tired though, i tend to stock up.... <_<

rotisserie chicken is a step above pizza pops though... :P

:yay: hurrah!!! we get to see gwensdad!!!

i have to borrow my mom's digital camera to take pictures of julian's eye through the day for his optometrist- to see if it is any weaker at certain times.... hopefully he won't need surgery and the glasses will correct it, but at this point we are looking to putting an occlusive patch over for an hour or so a day to strengthen it.... <sigh> he's so cute cross eyed though!!!! :P

i already forget what he looked like without glasses!!! :o

[Lorrell]

1. J made me spinach and mushroom pizza tonight and he put xtra cheese, carrots(good for my eyes he says) it's like something you'd fed your neopet! Antioxidents, I must get them inside me, he says


2. J says I look sexy with the eye patch :lol: but I believe it's because I can't wear my glasses and the patch at the same time, so it's like he's getiing mixed signals.


3. Yeah, Yeah! :lol: He's handing me headkerchiefs and wants to play pirates, etc. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: These are the only eyes I will be able to roll for awhile :D OK OK! So I AM A BUCANEERS FAN!!! and Halloween is coming, but I wanted to be a flapper for that party and got all the fringe to sew on my costume, etc. etc. Skewered AGAIN dang it all....Hang it to hell!

4. J. is just roaring with laughter about it :wacko:

5. I'm so glad I learned to touch type without looking at the keyboard etc. I used to practice typing in the dark..so I couldn't cheat and look at the keyboard cause that's what slows your typing speed down.

6. Guess I may as well brush up on my Braille.

7. I've harbored a secret desire for a dog ever since I laid eyes on Jackie's Russell
Terrier, Scooter, but I guess a large German Shepard that could walk me will do just fine.

8. See, secretly my intuition told me this morning "Make YOUR bed nice and pretty, your going to be there for awhile. Goodnight Nessies!

I know what that's like, I wore a patch over my eye for....a couple years

I also had eye surgery (where we found out I'm pseudocholinesterase deficient, and I almost died)

We also found out my sister is pseudocholinesterase deficient after that, through a simple blood test :P

So go as a flapper at a fancy dress party, dressed as a pirate. It's a subtle distinction, I know - a conceptual thing :lol:

Though, admittedly, not being able to roll your one visible eye would detract seriously from building the flapper image under the pirate costume.

Something tells me I'm not even going to bother with NaNoWriMo this year.

I don't mind, though.

I have been avoiding stuff I'm supposed to be doing very, very efficiently the last week or so. Comes of lots of practice.

[Cuilanië]

Cold today. Freezing last night, frost this morning, no higher than 10-12C during the day, and a crystal clear (= freezing cold again) night tonight. It's a good cold, though.

Damn, this keyboard is playing tricks on me. The computer actually recognises whether I'm typing on a French site or an English one, and some of the keys change between one configuration and the other!!!! :rolleyes::blink: Sometimes, technology's just too much.

I should know tomorrow whether I have the apartment or not. :crossed:

[Gingersmack]

It has been pretty much raining since Saturday Night and it is causing havok and chaos amongst the Angelenos.

The windshield wipers on my grandma's exploder are crappy but all of the auto parts stores in town are cleaned out.

2. There was a teriffic thunderstorm here this afternoon, 2-3 inch rain, lightening, thunder, the works...and now it's over with the sun shine coming out all beautiful like :D


3. I put last nights Pizza crust on top of the latticework, just outside my window and now I'm watching a Blue Jay and Woodpecker share it. I love my wildbirds, they are my pets and instead of the typical bondage/pet relationship, they are free to come and go as they please and so am I. :wub:

[Skilyne]

Sadly, I got negative feedback left for me because I have not sent back returns on one of my LMAOs yet...I was too sick to care.

I hope that person knows I'm not rude like my feedback says.

I'm really sorry!!! :( And sad...

[Skilyne]

I worked a 10-hour day today. I know...sheer stupidity when one is recovering from mono.

I wonder if my bubbly personality, constant posting and 140 positives have something to do with it.

POST OFFICE BOOGIE!

[gwensmom]

Skilyne, tell the person who gave you negative feedback that you are sick. She will probably change it to neutral. Most people are forgiving if you stay in touch.

Are you gettin' down with the harmomica boyz? Probably not after a 10- hour day!

I went to a new thrift store today and saw my supervisor in there! I didn't find anything, though. Now I will be forced to go to a department store. :o

[Skilyne]

I e-mailed them. Hopefully it can be changed. If not, then I'll just deal with it. :(

I am getting down to the harmonica boyz! 10-hour day or not, that is some HIP MUSIC!!! :P

*yawn*...SO TIRED!

[Lorrell]

1. I'm listening to Willie Nelson sing about changing skys and little birds.


2. Got an e-mail from the math genius in Iran which brightened my day considerably compared to some of the e-mail jokes I received from ma fellow Americans. :lol:


3. Patti, please pay attention and DON'T TRY TO CHANGE HIM - he will never really change. What you see is what you get. Men come and go but laundry is forever.

[Skilyne]

I'm feeling too tired to get up and make myself some dinner. Anyone want to come cook for me? :)

Thanks ebandit for the postcard!!! :)

I need to cut my fingernails.

This sign pretty much sums up the political mentality of the small town I live in.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v150/TamShad/1aaaasign.jpg

There are variations on this same theme everywhere.

Darn organized religous leaders are telling the congregations that is "a sin" to vote for Kerry because of his standing on this one issue.

And people are voting for Bush because it. Shit.

I wish I could move to a more enlightened community.

[Lilac]

Sorry about the size of that picture. I'm too lazy to change it...

[Skilyne]

Those people are so ignorant!

I still need some food.

I also need some loving... :ph34r: He is coming over later, and so I just might get my wish...

There is a funny taste in my mouth.

[namelessgirl]

Lilac, I've known signs like that to "disappear" overnight in MY neighborhood! :P

I can't quite shake this mood and it sucks. Work sucks too. Want to go home.

I did get to see my favorite gymnast mom today though. She is so cool. I offered to babysit. I hope she takes me up on the offer because I could really use the money and I bet she has lots of cool books! :ph34r:

1. I live in a small town too, and have seen the same thing, only they spell "Catholic" like this: Catlick

2. If you saw the "downtown" here, you would swear it was 1929.


3. It looks even worse now after the hurricanes, they are afraid to put up a sign, GOD might blow it away! :lol:

[rockermom]

my kid started preschool today

i drank coffee while it was still hot

i feel as though my life has changed in a fundamentally
noteworthy-less way

[Larrissa]

"i feel as though my life has changed in a fundamentally
noteworthy-less way " holy shit i wish i could say that :blink: :blink:

drinking esprsso after a good nap, i kinda flipped out earlier, not in an angry or hostile way, just kinda lost it. had to smoke a bowl [monkey! :ph34r:] and sleep.

i lost track of the hours. and that movie blew by the way. the book? was aweseom, i cried and cried, but the movie didnt turn me on. at all.

[rockermom]

which movie?

did it totally blow, or suck, or both similtaneously?

i must know so that i can gaurd my prescious three hours
that are now in my life. my presciuos, my prescious!

[Larrissa]

the hours, with those three famous hot chicks in it, one with a fake nose.

i have the desire to physically take out my frustration, on him. :yell:

distractions are nice. and im having alot of them.

[Lorrell]

1. V. called me and told me it took her eight hours to get up to Georgia, two much two-lane blacktop and she doesn't have the guts to pass truckdrivers with out me sitting shotgun to distract them. I'm glad I didn't go now, I'd would probably have had to play Thelma to her Louise. :wacko:


2. She brought the cutting of the Drunkard's Dream I gave her yesterday and says M. has it too, but it doesn't hang like mine.


3. My hand and eye coordination is shot to hell, but I'm going to try to sew the costume anyway while I watch the RSox and Yanks.


Nameless Girl I will PM you the info.

[Larrissa]

monkeymonkeymonkey i have a new monkey ... SIRIUS! hear me now. this is jesus speaking. i have found a replacement. yes.

im jesus and shes ghandi. its amusing me.

piddling more before i go do the chore/moving thing again.

[Skilyne]

I'm watching the game between the Red Sox and Yankees. My Yanks aren't doing so hot.

I don't know WHAT I did to my thumb, but it is infected BADLY! And all hard and swollen in one spot. It hurts so badly...

I am going to go bandage it up and hopefully by morning it is even a little bit better.

One of the guys at work has taken to calling me "Petri" (as in petri dish) because he says that I am always getting sick or always having some problem of some sort and it reminds him of a petri dish full of germs. :) LOL.

[Skilyne]

I think that I like the nickname "Petri"

I must admit, it DOES fit me.

I'm going to encourage the rest of my co-workers to call me that.

[Larrissa]

must aquire will to move more than typing fingers

must not dread the long long ride and then meeting miss ghandi looking that scary and unkempt

is that a word? and why does my brain toss words at me that i dont know the defintion of???

i had fajitas for dinner, i loved them.

the other white meat: sara.

my boss brought me some black and orange striped tights as a goodbye gift, rock.

someone shove me out of here. come on.

[chunkymonkey]

wish I had some ice cream
john wells can kiss my ass
windex is a lovely product

[Larrissa]

love to miss vona

love to petri

love to the thought that the fear i have over the election will be unfounded

[namelessgirl]

i'll show up all messy too just to make it even or something :P


the cat is on my lap pretending to sleep.


i don't know how the computer thing will work out either. apparently this one will be going with the boy so now i must try to hook up mine. oooo.

[rockermom]

give me bananas!

the hat i knit did not behave as i thought it would when i washed it.

it does not fit me, and will not fit it's intended, i think a decorative
ribbon around the ribbing will look good and solve my 'the damn cotton
did not shrink enough' problem.

[Larrissa]

BOYS!

pissy me isnt good

but happy me is so worth the down time

:)

[Skilyne]

I am glad tommorow is Thursday...since I don't work this Friday. YIPPEE!

Although, at the risk of jinxing it, work HAS been going well for me.

I think I know why that is.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

the cats have been so bad today

they're taking advantage of an already hectic situation

if they weren't so freakin' cute i'd be upset right now ;) i can't get made at a cat...i just can't

[Skilyne]

My thumb HURTS!!! :yell:

I actually took tylenol for the pain of my thumb...which seems silly almost to take medicine for a thumb. But it hurts that badly...

I suspect that there might be a small metal shard from work that imbedded itself into my skin and caused this infection. I hate that swollen hard part of my thumb though...it's gross.

My brother is laughing about something downstairs...and the way he is laughing is making me laugh.

I have been having some very realistic and vivid dreams lately and remembering them when I wake up. In a way, I like that. But then sometimes I begin to wonder what really happened or not. :P

This is more than 3 facts, and I don't care.

He ended up bringing me dinner... :wub: ...so I didn't have to cook anything after my long workday.

[Larrissa]

:wub: good night my dears.

[gwensmom]

I just got back from a town hall meeting hosted by the TN Department of Mental Retardation Services. It was not an easy thing to sit through. People in TN with mentally disabled relatives have been suffering with no help for years. The pain and anguish in that room was almost palpable.

My case manager still says we will be among the first 600 to get off the waiting list early next year. If this really happens it could significantly change our lives for the better.

Next Monday I'm going to a seminar on financial planning for families with special needs. I wonder how you are supposed to do financial planning when you have no finances.

I had to miss ballet class to go to these seminars. :( It is worth it, but I will be all stove up!

[Lilac]

Sick Belly

May Vomit

Cheesecake Is The Culprit.

[Lorrell]

1. I made some bean soup for Midnight Dinner.


2. Things are looking sticky for the Yanks, I can imagine Rick biting his nails and crying in his beer, SOB sobs :'(


3. Gotta go put a drop in the eye.

[Lorrell]

1. Ahhhhh! Yes, Yes, RED SOCKS WON! Unbelievable! Thank you Johnny Damon! I can feel the LOVE :wub:


2. I'm wearing red to work tomorrow and gonna make Rick=Miseerable! :lol: He's gonna be so morose and hungover and now he owes me.


3. MG's meeting tomorrow and I gotta go, I keep forgetting I'm the Vice Chairman and my presence is needed as well as my signature. (sigh)

[bluecrayon]

I am split right down the center of myself and could wander off in several directions... which is just another way of saying that I am lost

He loves me but the triangle remains formidable...

I got a pm tonight from someone I haven't heard from in months and it made me smile all across my spirit....

[chunkymonkey]

good for you to the sox. I remember the back to back games we had, the comeback we almost had, how the yankees helped me over 9/11... we had enough magic. It can be your turn now.

I won't put the heat on. I won't do it.

I miss the poetic blueness of a certain someone. :wave:

[hammerquill]

Yipe. Christine's back. Most of the Q&Q threads have her as the last poster.

It's like the old days. Next thing you know Tom'll show up.

The gallery has suddenly gotten frustrating, though the improvements are almost all good ideas.

That's really generous of you, Veronica; and yes; the Sox were due.

I'm happy they won; you can't imagine the frustration of being both a Red Sox fan and now (since my son moved to Chicago 10 yrs. ago) a Cubs fan.

Now, if Kerry could just win in Nov., I could die happy.

[oreogrl1]

Right now, I would pay someone to write my research paper.
No, no I wouldn't
But I am tempted.

[stargal1998]

1. I might be moving.

2. Despite the fact I don't want to.

3. Why don't some people listen??

[Larrissa]

i had my holidays confused, i feel a little like a dumbass. moreso than usual :huh: :lol:

chillin before the whole getting up doing moving chores thing

my to take pile of boxes is a litlle larger than i expected.

[Larrissa]

i was writin in my journal last night and kept having the urge to add crap to it, and turned to see my crap is packed and in the living room. it was disturbing to not have any glue. :blink:

ahhhh yeah must go do that

gonna miss my kitty kitty. hes so awesome. :( (and my mom and family too, yeah.)

[namelessgirl]

I finished my first scarf last night! Only a zillion more to go! :P


I can't believe that in less than 24 hours Larrissa will be on her way here.


I don't even like baseball, but watching the Sox kick ass was awesome.

[Larrissa]

<terrified! my lil heart is TERRIFIED!>

if i dont post on saturday night its because she took my soul ... :huh:

umm, im maing the claimers of that raok work for it :evil:

haha yeah, well, I don't have anything better to do, school work isn't important :ph34r:

i wish! I miss Tom :(

hmmm...I had a berry mix nutrigrain bar for breakfast

[Lilac]

I'm sick today. Nauseous and crappy feelings.

I don't think that cheesecake last night is what caused this, either.

I think I may be coming down with the flu. Oh great. Should have gotten the damned flu shot.

[tanagee]

:yay: I'm getting a new washing machine!! We can't really afford it, but that's what credit cards are for right? ;)

But if you think about it we CAN'T afford NOT to get a new washer. A friend of ours who does this kind of thing for a living said the new transmission (typical that's what would go out on something owned by a transmission builder :lol: ) would be $200 and I paid $300 for it 6 years go...so no.

I got as much life out of it as I could by taking the front panel off and blowing our box fan on the motor/trans to keep it cool so it wouldn't heat up and sieze, but this weekend it gave up the ghost.

The new one I got has a 5 year warranty on the transmission :).

This time I promise not to stuff it full of jeans and stuff and expect it to agitate. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_2_76.gif

[stargal1998]

1. The new house isn't as bad.

2. If we get it, it would be $10 more a check.

3. I would have a kitchen, living room, dining room, a guest bedroom, a basement rec room, a basement laundry/utility room, a computer room, a loft-ish type bedroom upstairs (no door) and an ART ROOM! Plus a two or three car garage for Nick. Oh, and an above ground POOL!

Last time we moved, I told Gwensdad we could move any weekend but the one after a huge event at my job. Guess which one he picked.

I decided I had better get hip and try some chai tea. I didn't like it hot, but I threw a bag of it in the iced tea maker with the regular tea and it's delicious that way.

I need a nap. But it's almost time to go pick Gwen up from school.

[namelessgirl]

pfft what would i need your soul for? i want BRAAAIINNSSSSSS.


damn it to hell i must finish this scarf!!!!


school is dumb :huh:

[Larrissa]

ARGH!

:blink:

:wacko:

[Larrissa]

< lilfrank said i scared her. <_< >

im shaky and have travelers checks.

i have to sign legal thingies at 4pm to sign over my position of decision to my little sister. she had better not abuse it or im gonna cause some ruckus.

gotta go, again. momma HURRY UP.

[Larrissa]

i voted. felt good.

ummm, i saw my boss one last time, shes a neat lady and im glad to have known her

and uhhhh, I NEED TO EAT.

[kittymao]

i worked in the pub last night- watched the whole game. And by the end I was actually happy for the Red Socks. I actually said to myself, Good for them. And then, Good for Johnny.

He used to be an Oakland A. That boy needs a Ring. The A's are choke artists and I don't think all of their great rookies deserve to get so close to the Series and blow it like they have the past... what, FIVE years? gah. I still love Oakland, though.

They've lost so many great players due to that Choke tactic. Except GIAMBI. That rat fink can go suck on an egg. I don't respect him anymore.

sorry, that inbred baseball vein just went nuts for a second.
i barely recall liking baseball.

[Skilyne]

I too was happy that the Sox won. Originally I was rooting for the Yanks, but then I thought...yeah...the Sox deserve it.

Another 9 hour day today. *yawn* SO SLEEPY!

He said one of the nicest things to me today, and I am feeling loved. :) I am also feeling slightly sad about it...tell me if THAT makes any sense!!!

YAY! No more negative feedback...I've been changed to neutral.

[namelessgirl]

More mail for Larrissa today, but I'm not telling who it's from! :P

I was bad and skipped class because I need to clean. blush blush blush

Luckily it rained on the way home so I think maybe I can pass on washing the car.

[Skilyne]

I'm still being referred to as "petri"

Our dryer is broken and I need to wash some pants. I'm going to wash them anyways and air dry them tonight.

I need to pack for going to NYC tommorow, but I don't have the motivation to actually get off my tired little ass and do it. These 9 hour days are sweet on pay...and killer on my body.

But at my workplace, we get daily overtime...so some of these days are going to be full of $15/hour paychecks!!! :) Something to smile about...

[Lorrell]

1. Despite the fact that I stayed up until the wee-wee hours of the morning, watching the baseball game, crocheting, sewing and listening to Muddy Waters, I rolled out of my sack around 7:45am in time to have coffee and a bagel with J. and be on time for the MG meeting. I even had enough time to take the time to look at the scenery since I haven't been over there in since all hell broke lose. There is a Lake now where there used to be a praire and the Peace River is so high I almost drove over the side of the bridge in a state of shock :blink:

2.I am always chuffed when I see the secretary has my name listed as Vice Chairman.....Do I suffer from penis envy? NO WAY! I worked hard for this and the fact that I don't correct her on it just shows how compliant I am with my consituents as well as those who serve me. :rolleyes:


3. To top it all off, I am on the nominating committee for next year's officers.
We will meet next Thursday to discuss who the candidates will be for next year. :lol:

[tanagee]

I am so close to finally sending out my returns that I have not had the $$ to send.

All that stands between Me and $60 is a grumpy middle-aged man.

want to see what I will be getting $$ for? the site (http://kilgoretrans.com) I am updating and maintaining. A friend of ours did the actual designing, but he got a 'real' job working for Doc McGhee (http://mcgheela.com/).

[tanagee]

I have not eaten anything today, unless you count OJ and a multi-vitamin as food.

I am so uninspired to eat, which is not good concidering my present state.

I hope my hubby doesn't get mad I am going to use my $$ for mailing out stuff...what he doesn't know won't hurt him and what doesn't go towards envies & postage I will use to pay a small bill like the phone or gas. (yes those are the small bills around my house)

[Lorrell]

1. I just returned from my mailbox and lo and behold, there was a letter from the judge notifying me he has ruled in my favor and I won the case...I am SOOOoooo happy! I'm going to celebrate! :D


2. A week ago or so I was so down in the dumps but I never expected relief like this! Did someone slip some Prozac in my coffee? It's about time my ship came in...pirate patch and all :P


3. I think it's time for some eyedrops and a couple of silver bullets! Yeah, I was a bad girl all day and didn't do the medicine...too busy! :lol:

[Skilyne]

Ok...here is the question I'm posing to myself at the moment: "If someone says something so nice to you and treats you so well, then why...despite the obvious happiness...is there also a twinge of saddness?"

I think the answer is that the saddness comes from knowing that no matter how sweet he is being and how happy he can make me feel, I don't think there is a long term future for us.

And I think that part of that saddness comes from wanting something more from someone who you probably won't get it from. Wanting a future and a feeling that you might not get.

*sigh*...it doesn't much matter. I still like him. And for every second he makes me sad, he makes me happy just as often.

[kittymao]

I say live in the moment, sweetheart- who know when it will be your last.

The time to worry about the future will come, when it is time to worry about it.

for me, the time to make moves on my future is NOW. But I still have my fun from day to day.

This is so very true...but sometimes so hard to live! :) I'm going to try.

Tonight's goal: Live in the moment and not worry about tommorow.

Can I do it? I'm sure as hell going to try!!!

[Ishba]

- The Boy just bought me a three month suicidegirls.com subscription

- :drool:

- My stomach kinda hurts...

[Christine_0701]

I just finished doing some beading

Now my back hurts

Zoodles aren't as good as Bob The Builder pasta in sauce

[bluecrayon]

3 randoms, okay...

I have a headache, which has lingered now for weeks

I am battling through the last of my resistance and then I guess I'm heading there for good...

I am always late for my life and this is just another example of it.

[chunkymonkey]

one minute I think I am got, another I'm a big stinky block of cheese.
the cheese stands alone people.
alone.

[Larrissa]

i sit, not standing, and i am not cheese. i have to pee.

fuckin red lobster needs more alcohol in the alcoholic drinks :lol:

the waitress pretended it was my birthday, we all had chocolate cake, no charge.

[Larrissa]

im sure i will make time at 4am to post and check on online things

but if not

i will be back saturday night. its a long bus ride.

[Larrissa]

:wave:

[Skilyne]

SAFE TRAVELS LARRISSA!!! :)

I am so tired. Off to bed!!!

I'll be back Sunday night...when I return from NYC. Have a good weekend everyone!

[Lilac]

Happy Trails, Larrissa!

Don't talk to strange stinky people!

Have a safe trip! We'll all be here waiting to hear about everything that happened along the way!

[hammerquill]

Jeez. Seems everyone's going somewhere.

I'm going to help dig a deep hole tomorrow.

There are an annoyingly large number of bills due around the beginning of November.

I tell ya, it's a damn good thing there was chocolate tonight.

[Christine_0701]

*is envious of Reed and his chocolate*

maybe I'll buy some chocolate tomorrow

maybe not...gotta save my money :(

[Lorrell]

1. Tonight I found out someone I had a serious love affair with, died of a sudden heart attack about two weeks ago. I didn't know anything about this until tonight. He was a wonderful person. We both suffered from unrequited love with other people,until we first met and made each other happy. He was my confidant and I his confidante. The last time I was with him, I never thought would be the last but it is, and it was so very good. :'( He was all tangled up with someone and very unhappy and I was about to go into the same situation myself. It is only because of him I did not get involved.

2. I broke down and cried. :'( No wonder why things were going so GOOD :D for me. MYLUCKYSTREAKANDBROKENHEART
Another guardian angel watching over me... :'( and my heart.

3. I know it's because he tried to do too much in the two months of the hurricanes to help with the disaster relief. That is the kind of a man he was...truely helpful, kind, and a rare gentleman and knight in shining armour. I could go on and on but I am not going there. Please excuse me, I am very devaststated, must retreat back into my stagnation chamber.

"Just relax" I hear him whisper, "Just go to sleep".

"I Love You, D. R. Allways and Forever! & MISS U 2.....RIP

[moonweaver]

My DH (sometimes that stands for Dear Husband, tonight it's Damned Husband!) has been in a pissy mood the last 2 or 3 days.

It's times like these that I wish he were still working on the other side of the state.

Too much togetherness is not a good thing, especially after 48 years.

[Larrissa]

um um, 3:52 am, hello there.

thank you thank you for being kind!

and uhhh, i might be the strange stinky person to be careful of after a day on a bus :lol:

[Larrissa]

what am i gonna DO without internet for that long?? :mellow:

to be sure, a storebought card from people i dont care for with only a signature inside is NOT important enough to be taken along. <_<

my cat doesnt have a CLUE im leaving. dumb animals! :lol:

and ... ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ yeah!

[Lorrell]

1. There is a huge squirrel in the Red Bottle Brush Tree just outside my window.

2. I wish I could go to work in my pajamas this morning.

4. I must perform my editorial duties

5. I wish I was going on a long bus ride and getting all stinky, like Larissa.

6. I need a "Do Not Disturb" sign.

[Lilac]

Thinking about Larrissa and namelessgirl and just marveling about how this website has brought them together. (No, not that way! Pervert! As friends and roommates! :lol: )

Waiting the arrival of a shitload of work needing to be done before the end of this workday.

I refuse to take work home this weekend. I flat out refuse!

[namelessgirl]

Well seeing as I'm also in charge of fundraising, I can't help but wonder, should we be charging for this wonderful matchmaking service? Do we need a "Roommates Wanted" forum thread?? :huh:


There is stil so much to be done around this damned house!!!!


She didn't even call before she got on the bus! Twatwaffle. Grrrrr :P

[velma]

I'm going to help dig a deep hole tomorrow.


Not too deep--your computer wouldn't fit, and then we'd miss you!

Today I'm streaking my hair--blue and purple.
The weather sucks; I have colored lights on everywhere to take away the gloom.
I'm playing with duct tape.

http://guerillart.org/nness/smileys/abduct.gif

I make really good sandwiches.

I'm currently in a knitting frenzy. Specifically making scarves for people as present.

I work at a gymnastics place for kids and go to school.

Really? I love a good sandwich! Can I come live with you too?

Gwen had to go to the Dr. this morning. When he looked in her ear, she screamed as if she was being slowly tortured to death. Later when the nurse gave her a shot, she just gasped once and was fine.

Gwen has to stay home today. Gwensdad is coming home early so I can go to work this afternoon.

FL has just issued new severe weather warnings. Hurricane LaRRissa is fast approaching from the west.

[stargal1998]

1. I've always wanted to travel on a bus...

2. I am wearing a tiara right now.

3. We're having sloppy joes for lunch at work--I am hoping for chips, dip and veggies...

[Lorrell]

1. I'm having water and eyedrops for lunch. ;)

2. It's nice to know my editing skills are appreciated by my associates. :D ;)

3. My schizophrenia is showing, but nobody seems to notice. :wacko:

[Lilac]

I'm eating cold leftover chinese food for lunch because someone here at the office broke the microwave. For God's sake! This place can't keep anything! This microwave is not even a year old, I think...and two weeks ago someone broke the coffee maker!


Anyhow...THANK THE GOD LORD ABOVE that it's Friday! This has been one of the longest weeks in history!~


I wonder what Larrissa is doing about now?

[kittymao]

I can totally imagine Larrissa with her face smashed against the glass, with her nose all pointed up as she stares out the window, thinking about monkeys and florida and cheese crackers.

I wanna go on a road trip too.

if I quit target, I can, huzzah!

[namelessgirl]

Gwensmom, I'll make sandwiches for you 24-7! And that goes for the rest of you.


Larrissa is gonna think it's so funny when she reads about how "present" she was on the forums today even while on a bus.


I'm hoping she can keep all her luggage together when she has to do transfers! Good luck!!!

Anyhow...THANK THE GOD LORD ABOVE that it's Friday! This has been one of the longest weeks in history!~


I wonder what Larrissa is doing about now?

1.It's been a long and weird week for sure TGIF ! Blame it on the moon.

2. I wish I was on a greyhound bound OUT OF FLOR-EEE-DUH!

3. In my office people would rather die of thrist than pick up a bottle and put it in the water cooler.

[nymphette]

i have to go to chris's convention tonight- they have an optometrist's glasses/contacts/machine show each october that his office attends...

it's a night out i guess, for a supper and to see all the 'new' stock...

last year, almost ever single glasses frame was the same- small and ovally-squared shape.... <sigh> i haven't gotten new glasses in 3 years because there is never anything i like- they are all too small and bookish.... ah well...

[nymphette]

most people have never seen me in my glasses... i only use them for reading and close work....

when i use them....

which isn't as often as it should be....

[kittymao]

my packing tape just ran out and I have MORE THINGS TO PACKAGE!maybe I should start cleaning the house?

I did want to go to the PO though... hm. Housecleaning, or PO?( which one will get me in more trouble if I don't do it?)

snarf. I guess I'm cleaning house.

[nymphette]

i told chris i want a pedicure for my birthday... i've said i want one every time i have been pregnant and almost due... and always said not to spend the money and didn't get one....

this time i wanna be treated!!! pampered!!!

i've never paid anyone to do my nails (fingers OR toes) or hair or any kind of facial, etc... <sigh> even for my graduation and my wedding i have done my own hair and make up!!! i dont' trust anyone else to do it... <_<

[sweet_little_bullet]

wow. i seriously attempted to read every post here, but i only made it up to page 159 or so. i love this thread, and here is my first contribution:

1. i'm listening to the blue nile, and it's raining. it's a nice combination.
2. i can't help myself from making up stories about myself, and telling other people about them. my real life is rather dull, and i spice it up doing this!
3. i have 2 fake teeth that replace the ones i lost by crashing onto a wall when i was 10 or so.

i love random facts, so i'll probably add more soon.

[kittymao]

this housecleaning thing- Uhm. I've removed the bathroom mats, cleaned the mirror, swept and sprayed down the shower stall. Ha. that's about it so far.

I also enjoyed four eggnog cream puffs, which contain about 70% of my daily intake of saturated fat, says the back of the box.

Its thre tirty in the afternoon. and I still want cocoapuffs.

[Lilac]

It's nice to see Sweet Little Bullet in Three Random Facts!

I was going to take my son to the haunted corn maze tonight, but he was naughty and is being punished. No corn maze for that young man.

I have a terrific headache again. Brain tumor? hmmmmmmm?

[ebandit]

I learned a lot at Art Camp... but nothing I can really share here.

I can now do a watercolor wash that looks decent.

I draw a lot better now...okay..okay SOME better!

[Cuilanië]

Hello, hello, I'm headed back to my grandparents' place for the weekend, where there is a phone but no truly convenient internet cafe...

The weather seems stuck on "cold", though it's not as bad today as it's been.

I've been trying to take pictures of the local sylvan colour riot, but I can't seem to find a shot I like.

[Cuilanië]

I just ate an incredibly sour Granny Smith apple. I'm missing the really ripe ones that could be found in France.

There are quite a few food-related things I'm going to miss...

Speaking of food, I have an hour-long bus ride, and at least half an hour to spend on the metro to get to the terminus... I should grab some dinner.

[kittymao]

hai, eve! I hope things are okay at HOME! hee!

home... I fear that's a place I'll never be.

at least, unless we move to Washington... I feel really at home there.

[Cuilanië]

My mother irritated me beyond tolerance this evening. It's kind of a long, boring story...

I'm not looking forward to spending over an hour and a half on public transportation with a backpack and a suitcase, however small the latter is.

I had the day off today, and didn't do nearly as much as I'd planned. Part of the solution will involve asking to borrow my grandparents' car tomorrow afternoon... In a way, I'm looking forward to being so mobile.

[Lorrell]

1. I stopped by the Supervisor of Elections Office and picked up a ballot so I can study it over the weekend while I am being bombarded by various commercials broohaha,propaganda, evil telephone tricksters calling and offering to deliver it for me, etc.

2. I don't even feel secure handing it to a postal clerk. :o


3. I am so glad to be home at last and have Chinese Seafood Delight! YUM-YUM.
I can't wait to read my fortune cookie for desert.

Hello Miss Mao!

Home is... not a simple matter. Part of me will always be home here - what I think of as my hometown - just as part of me stayed behind in Paris. But home... home is not here.

I'll be home in just over three weeks.

And I gotta go now. No time left for food, sigh...

[kittymao]

what was my home is now... not. My parents move dout of the house I lived in for thirteen years into... a house that has the same layout as the house I lived in for Five years. Strange.

But I have no room. No real place to call mine.

Except my place beside Rudy. I guess that's home. For now.

[namelessgirl]

I just talked the the fabulous Ms LaRRiSSa!!! she is in amarillo texas and so far is holding up fine. she has eaten and no one has tried to rob her or massage her feet against her will.

holy cow i can't believe she'll be here in less than 24 hours!!

commence cleaning freak out now!

[gwensmom]

316366Yes, LaRRissa is very particular about cleanliness, you know.

Tons of things to do tomorrow, including the dreaded clothes shopping. I have absolutley nothing to wear to work.

I have to teach a sunday school lesson this weekend. I taught it last year but threw away my notes and can't remember what I did the first time.

[sweet_little_bullet]

more from me:
1. i *love* drag queens. they are fabulous!
2. sometimes, i slash my male co-workers.
3. i had 2 imaginary friends when i was a kid. i named them after 2 random girls i saw on a tv game show.


(hello, lilac! this thread is fab!)

[Lilac]

Hi Bullet! I love your avatar!!!!

So...where the heck is everyone tonight?

Hmmmmmm....

[Lorrell]

1. My fortune cookie read: "A heavy burden is lifted with a phone message or letter"

2. V. hasn't phoned from Georgia and I haven't got a letter from Patti in Canada in so long I'm wondering if she's dead. :(


3. I went to the post office today and mailed the book.

[Helquin]

Ha! Bullet, that is the best avatar ever! :lol:

I should be cleaning my house right now. Just pick a spot and grab a shovel. <_<

I'm in a cranky frame of mind. What happened to beautiful warm summer?

[Lilac]

I am really bored with my life and want to hop aboard a bus and find a new one, like Larrissa.

Except, I think I'd skip the bus thing and travel by car. I don't do busses well.

The point is, though...I need a new life. I want to move back to Maine.

[namelessgirl]

Lilac, move to Florida!!!!

I've made surprisingly little progress on the cleaning thing.

On second that, that's probably not much of a surprise.

316330

Since my daddy had cancer in the bony sinues in his skull, I always entertain the idea that my horrible headaches are a brain tumor.

My new washing machine is so wonderful :wub:

I made a house for Megan out of the box, I tried to take pictures but the batteries died and i am too poor to buy new ones.

[Lorrell]

1. Just opened the last fortune cookie and it said: "Now is the time to try something new"

2. I agree with the Chinese 100% That's why I started using chopsticks

3. The best thing about going to vote is the Eberhard Faber Design Ebony Pencils they give you. My favorite drawing pencil. I'm having a ball with one now, I think I'll go get some more on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc....Lori won't mind at all! :rolleyes:

[chunkymonkey]

i love chopsticks.
trying to decide if i am bored enough to order a 5 dolla pay per view movie.
am typing with one hand.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i'm bored enough to order a movie.

wish i had that option

is it halloween yet?

[chunkymonkey]

Lilac, move to Florida!!!!

we should all move to fl. Start a commune.


nothing seems worth 5 bucks.
wish they had taking lives, haven't seen that yet.
it's a coming ;)

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i almost ended up in florida

not sure how that changed to ohio....

the guy downstairs should be quiet.

[namelessgirl]

we should all move to fl. Start a commune.

that's the idea! shhhh don't tell.


1 am and i'm still a-cleaning.


she told me she would try to call around 3...

[Death_Or_Aldona]

stress

confusion

i need to tickle a certain chinchilla's tummy

[Lorrell]

1. Saturday morning (at last!) and I'm watching Laurel and Hardy, it's silent and has terrific dixieland jazz sound track.


2. J. and Mikel are coming over for a waffle breakfast and bringing me Nun's Orchid and Shell Ginger.


3. $175 for 2 container gardens, yeah ya'll it's off to Home Depot 4 me today. Money, Money Money...MONEY!....it's fun to be a Floridian.

[namelessgirl]

Running on only three hours of sleep really really sucks.

Still much to do at the apartment.

But now am stuck at work and will be leaving directly from here to PICK UP LARRISSA!!!! woo! i am so excited!!!

(my plan is to stick her in front of the computer so i can sneak upstairs and finish cleaning. that'll distract her right? you guys can keep her busy, i'm sure! :D )

[sweet_little_bullet]

1. i found my avatar online and shamelessly stole it. i love it, and apparently so does everyone else! yay kitties!
2. i once said "i want to be just like roger waters when i grow up".
3. i love jeans.

[namelessgirl]

Even though I am 6'2" and stand out like a sore thumb, I'm making a little sign to hold up at the Greyhound, like limo drivers do at airports. It has a HUGE :wub: smiley on it and says "frenchfrey". haha. this is gonna be awesome.

holy shit i'm nervous.

oh god.

[Lilac]

Oh, everything will be just fine, Sara! You and Larrissa will be giggling like you've known each other forever within an hour of her arrival, if not sooner!

It's such an exciting thing!

I wish I could move to Florida, but my life is here. Maybe I could visit sometime, though!

[Lorrell]

1. Back from the Depot...my eye and heart lusted and it's a good thing I had my list with me cause I was so distracted by it all. :)

2. J is suffering from sleep deprivation...cranky, cranky, and rebellious as hell like his T-shirts getting too tight around the armpits. :angry:

3. Mona Lavender Plectranthus looks great with white orchid. ;)

[Lilac]

hmmmm...mail just came and I've received a mysterious package with a Florida return address but postmarked from Colorado...I wonder who could have sent this? LOL

My son is opening it as I type...

Let's see...

Juicey bugs ...

Ohhhh...a wonderful handmade little wallet hickymajigger...with a cute little "gone fishin'"card...

Oh oh oh! A mix CD!!!!

Ahhhhhh! An eatable alien!

...and oh...so much fabulous, weird fun stuff!

I love it! It feels like Chritmas here!!!!!

Sara, thank Larrissa for me!!!!!!!!!!! :wub:

*I'm going to go explore my package more thouroughly!!!!!

[gwensmom]

It has been cloudy, overcast and rainy for days and days. Everyone has headaches and sinus problems. :'(

Gwen is not feeling good and has been yelling all day. In an hour and a half she is all mine until the sitter gets here.

I found the sunday school lesson I wrote last year so I don't have to write it all over again!! It's a good thing because last years is much better than what I was coming up with this time.

You should just tell the kids all about theological paradigm shifts.


I'm off to the library.

I may get a haircut while I'm out.

I ache all over from yesterday's ditchdigging.

Bonus fact: I have to go in for jury duty Monday morning.

[namelessgirl]

Lilac, I will tell her. and you can come visit anytime!


damn it i MUST get this newsletter finished before i go. arggghhhh.

LOL! Actually that is the point of the class. Not so much paradigm shifting but paradigm formation. And we don't tell them what to believe, either. They have to figure that out for themselves, or at least start thinking about it.

I want to hear all about jury duty. You must give us daily updates.

I have a wicked caffeine withdrawal headache. Off to remedy that with a coke...

[gwensmom]

Random Facts from one year ago today:

Sarahkate had never used her crockpot
Rustell was decorating the community center for a halloween party
Cuilanie had chinese take out for dinner.
Hammerquill had onion and olive focaccia and liked it
Alienspy was learning to drive
Bluecrayon was wearing new blue sneakers
Katiekat had a crush on a guy named Ed
Penster was the top poster with 1,689 posts. Christine was in 11th place with a mere 1,017
I had made art with Gwen that day for a school assignment.

Oops actually those were from one year and one day ago.

[Lorrell]

1. I finished planting both containers....runing out of sphaghum and the F room smells like sandalwood incense...now I'm going to play some music music for them so they can adjust to their new homes. :)


2. J. calls me all apologetic for acting like an SOB and has the nerve to ask if I am mad. Sheeeit! All this time you still don't get it? I thought everyone knew i'm :wacko: Guilt boy, get thee hence satan!


3. I'm having dinner with KC and it's going to be sesame something & a movie.

[kittymao]

ha- that's cool.

I rememebr Kiatiekat's crush, she was so swooned... wasn't that the eddie izzard guy?

blarg. Three and a half hours till work. The BF wouldb't take me cause eh's going out to see HANNAH, his niece. i wanna see her too, but... Three and a half hours till work.

[Lilac]

It's 6:03 PM Eastern Standard Time.

Larrissa must just be getting to her new place.

In an hour I'm taking my kid to the haunted corn maze.

[Lilac]

Wow...that hour went by pretty quick.

Allotted internet time is over for now.

Off to the haunted corn maze. Maybe I'll post some pics....

[namelessgirl]

AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i lived. she lived.


we are laughing a LOT.

[Larrissa]

1361, thats where im starting off LATER.

as right now, i have no idea what im doing next ... :lol:

and we went and stood in the ocean. it was dark. and cool. ummmmm, this is quite odd.

:wave:

florida is humid, i am tired, i missed you guys, im gonna open a sunkist and drink it now. bubye!

[Christine_0701]

yeay! i'm glad you made it there ok, larrissa

i spent last night at my friends house for a movie night

we're gonna make this our friday traditions :D

[gwensmom]

I hope Lilac is not lost in the haunted corn maze.

I broke down and actually shopped for clothes. I bought a pair of black pants.

My first attempt at bookbinding looks pretty pathetic. :wacko:

[Death_Or_Aldona]

glad your trip went well larrissa :)

i am envious of you ocean-standing

one of the kitties escaped. i haven't seen him since last night. i'm worried.

[bluecrayon]

Can I just say I hate Saturday nights????? And the pressure I feel to be merry and bright on the city streets surrounded by irridescent people in love and lust and like all crowding into life?

I am going to do an anti war rant at a performance gallery in a couple of hours which will help to alleviate some of my frustration

but, still, I'm going home alone. :(

[Helquin]

Welcome back, Larrissa. :wave:

Aw, Blue, if I were in your neighborhood you might actually tempt me out of my hermitage for that rant ;)

Saturday, schmaturday. I've got wasabi peas & politics to keep me entertained. :lol:

[Lilac]

Yayyy! Larrissa'a "home!" No more garage for you!

I'm glad to hear that you two are laughing.

I knew you would be!

[chunkymonkey]

woop! for larrissa. A sunkist in fl, how cute. :)
I like mushrooms a lot.
I keep running into the same person but have yet to say hi.

I wish I were capable of feeling entertained by politics at this point. It has me positively terrified.

I see siafu! Long time too little see! :wave:

I wonder if siafu has had time to go to the Portland gallery that's started showing our stuff yet. Probably not, from the sounds of her schedule recently.

[siafu]

i am very sick. i have a fever and i'm freezing.

and i had a reaction to dxm and started crying and crying

i need to go finish my soup.

hey reed, where is it? when i am better, ii will go.

[Lorrell]

1. Welcome to the Sunshine State,LARRISSA! it's a real swinging state or so i have been informed by all the cit-zens of the other 50 states. Hope you brought plenty of Anti-perspire-ants because now that you are in Florida you will sweat from places you never dreamed it possible (Just kidding, haha) :D Take it from a native. Can't wait to read all about the bus trip.


2. Ah sent ya all a little something to share. It will probably arrive Monday or Tuesday, etc. and I hope you will find it interesting.


3. None of the movies at the mall looked interesting enough that I couldn't wait to see them in DVD and my eye isn't quite healed, so KC and I shopped. KC bought another one of those Precious Memories ornaments for her mom, who has a house full of them--When you walk in there, you think you're on an alien planet. There are at least 50 in every room, stare in at ya! :rolleyes: I bought two pairs of jeans, a baseball cap, and a key chain with a timer and recorder in it - this way I can keep track of how long and often J annoys me and talk to myself instead of trying to talk to him. It's time to return to my inner sanctum. Nitey-Nite, ya'll! :D

[hammerquill]

I've eaten plenty, and plenty of salt and grease for the day, but I suddenly have this craving for salt&vinegar potato chips.

Luckily, there aren't any around.

I'm getting offline now, in case someone is trying to call me from Montréal.

[Larrissa]

oooooh my belly needs filling.

the bus trip has been recounted in that other format

i should sleeeeeeeep too

I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and it made me sad.

Made me think of someone I miss.

Ah well.

[Lilac]

The damn cat just bit through the wire to my headphones!

Luckily, she didnt get shocked, but now I have no way to blast music after the child goes to bed.

Darn! I'll have to get new ones tomorrow.

[kittymao]

psycho kitty you got there. My cat liked to chew things, but never through them- unless it was pancakes or doughnuts.

can you believe my rudy is STILL not home?!
This makes me sad.

I'm so sllllllllllllllllllleepy.

[Christine_0701]

ooh, sounds like your kitty likes electrical cords, lilac

i read/heard somewhwere something to stop that...

i think maybe rubbing the cords w/ a bar of soap?

[kittymao]

I'm starting to wish that I get so tired I ramble. I scare people when I ramble when I'm tired, once on a road trip I rambled to my bf about drivng over cars throhg donner pass and crsuhing people just to get home so i could go to sleep. and then the ass of my faa-vor-eet jeans blew out I still own those jeans, i sticthed them up good, well, and used some rubber cement but that didn't actually work so well, so anyways.

what?

snarf.

[Lilac]

Go to bed, Kitty! :lol:

That's where I'm heading before I, too, start to ramble!

I'm just all mellow right now, listening to the wind and rain...soooo awesome!

[kittymao]

i just heard a volkswagen!
scary.
that means they're home.
later.

[chunkymonkey]

I suggest watching river's edge
then the lost boys
then at close range.

[moonweaver]

The Red Sox won the first game of the World Series, 11-9, but they almost threw it away a couple of times with stupid moves.

I finished working on the journal for a travelling doll LMAO, and will mail it Monday.

I received a travelling deco today, and am planning what to do in it.

[moonweaver]

My hot tub finally got fixed yesterday after a couple of months without it.

I'm going to get in it as soon as I get off here.

I am hungry, but can't eat before I go to bed, so guess I'll drink a glass of milk.

[chunkymonkey]

there can be a hidden meaning, it's all up to me.
I hate that.
tomorrow I am going to buy myself a pair of black patent leather shoes, just because.

I just finished the second part of delicious home-cooked food from my mom. Man it was good! :D I've been eating too much fast food this month...

What the heck am I doing awake at this insane hour? :blink: :angry: :wacko:

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i feel lame...

river's edge was a good good movie
