Sandy, Sorry to hear about your mom and also that you cannot make it tonight. I have only been to the United Center once, but you are right. the areas is not too great. Getting a taxi there was lots of fun.

Kelly, I am on neurontin and a low dose of baclofen also. I have gained quite a bit of weight since starting neurontin last year, but it does work for me. I definitley get the munchies sometimes (honestly most of the time). I am trying to munch on veg's and fruit instead of chips, cheese, and chocolates
(my three big weaknesses). I actually lost 10 pounds in the one week when I was on steriods -- just felt terrible. Maybe I should try them again.:rolleyes:

Getting ready to go see Mama Mia. I will give you all a review tomorrow.

Neurontin makes me ravenous, I can't get enough to eat, so I try to be conscious of that. Did some more work on my chest of drawers not as far along as I had hoped to be but the people who had it never refinished it properly just kept slapping on coats of paint...grrrrr. Today is my 4 year wedding anniversary, although we have been together for 7. Tomorrow is my aunt and mom's birthdays so we are celebrating tonight with Chinese and cake!

Just stopping by real quick to say HI. It's been a busy day - housework this morning, just finished my work that pays, and now getting ready for a nap so I can function later on today. :o:p

I hope you all are having a good day and have a good weekend. (Going to DBF's to work on the kitchen cabinets over the weekend so I won't be on much this weekend).

HI all,
Weave good to see you hun...hugssss

Just home from work, and relaxing with the kiddos...

Just trying to stay cool, I see hubby has been looking online for cooling vests or neck things for me...he is a doll!!!

VON< congrats on the move happening finally ...hugssss and keep smiling..

I have a clean kitchen! And a couple of kitties sniffing the floor trying to figure out the scent of the cleaner - LOL. Took all afternoon, but it's done. :)

Next step, the living room. Never thought it would take so much time and energy to do this stuff, but at least I'm doing it :) Always a plus.

~~~~~

Sarah, your hubby is a sweetie for looking at that stuff for ya.

Vonn, hope the move in and unpacking is still going well.

Everyone, Big 'ol hugs :grouphug::grouphug:

peace

afternoon, all !!

rainy, rainy, rainy here.

well, duh, this IS the rainforest after all... :D

rescued two mama ducks whose pond-side nests were about to be submerged... and hatched 44 ducklings so far... how exciting !!

was going to go back to the capitol, but the weather is so bad, we didn't want to do the drive... the roads here are carp enough in *good* weather, let alone when torrential downpours are going on.

so, just a quickie trip over the hand-cranked ferry to the Mennonite enclave for bales of hay and tarps, then to the veggie market for "basura" (garbage to them is gourmet food por mi animales, lol)

back on the home-front, Amelio got the beams poured for the little emergency animal hurricane shelter, and the walls are all built, so, the concrete slab roof is next week, and we'll be done, except for the storm door, and screening for the air vents.

since we're officially "residents" now, we can legally sell stuff, and today was busy, busy, busy, people in and out all day, buying ducks, guinea pigs, chickens, and eggs.

sold enough to pay for our entire feed-mill run next month, which is great !!

and the bulletin board by the front door has a WAITING list for flats of organic free-range eggs.

we were so busy I never even got a nap today... but I'm happy anyway.

I'm borrowing hubby's computer while he does his chores, and I get to use the umbrella next, pull on my high boots, slog around in the rain, and dole out munchies.

:grouphug::hug::grouphug:

Kay - That is awesome!!! It makes all those drives and everything else worth it. It sounds as though you have had a very successful day and deserve the relaxation.

and Trish, I've had no leg cramps, or toes standing oddly at attention, lol !!

:hug:

that's worth celebrating !!
