morning all you lions, and tigers and bears .. OH my!! and ToTo, too!! LOL

Kelly - I will stay home on next Friday, too ... I don't know what it is - I just get these 'panic' attacks going grocery shopping or to pick up something ... I'm probably the sweetest person at the store 'excuse me' ... thank you ... I don't mind .. please, go ahead .. and all I want to do is scream! LOL

Well, Caribou Barbie would be Frozen Tundra Barbie here .. the lake froze over again ... with ice chunks on top .. the waves frozen in motion!

Soxmom - be sure to bring a small pillow for your back, too!!

UPDATE:

trying to make room for stuff ... and donating more stuff ... I would say that I'm the nic-nac queen!! lots of dusting to do ... and finding (making) more space ..

hugs and prayers to all ... ta ta for now!!

Morning all. The sun is shining and think the "slug day" helped tons. Feel a lot more energetic this morning. Well, as energetic as I can be before my first cup of coffee, LOL.

Biggest plan is to get some of the projects done that need doing. A little bit at a time. I know for sure the laundry is calling to me, lol.

TGIF everyone.

~~~~~~~~

Sox, Have a safe drive. Hope you and DS have a good conversation on the trip back.

Weave, and for ya.

Kelli, totally hear you about the shopping crowds. Did all my shopping via online last year. glad you had a good day yesterday.

Vonn, LOL. I guess I may be second for the nic-nacs. I've got three tubs full in my basement I need to go through.

Jenn .. I've been donating alot of stuff - doubles of things .. lots of lighthouse stuff!!

I'm to the point that, if I don't have it OUT - then I probably don't need it ... going thru the Christmas totes and boxes now, already did some Easter .. and Halloween ended up in a small box now!

I try to sort thru at least one tote/box per day ... it's tough, but now I know that I will be able to fit everything in ONE U-Haul truck the next time I move!

sorry its so vague I wrote this out 3 times and vista sucks if the mouse cursor sits in an area too long it takes it upon itself to load what ever the cursor is sitting on, would like to find that option and delete it

lol, Frank !!

when they were good, I called 'em Lovely Loinfruit, when they were difficult, I called 'em Spawn of Satan.

Morning everyone. Drinking the last of my coffee and trying to decide what to do next.

Not in a good mood this morning as we realized last night that DD17's iPod is missing. It appears homeless boy stole it as it was on my computer desk with my cheap mp3 and the iPod is gone but the mp3 is still where I left it. It took DD17 a year to save up all her X-mas money, birthday money, etc. to buy that.

Last night, after we realized it was gone, I went on to craigslist as I know he was trying to sell some of his stuff on there. Sure enough, there was an iPod nano 2g, black with scratches on the screen. Can't be sure it's DD17's but based on the ad and the fact it had scratches it sounds like it.

I am so mad and so irritated right now. There is no way in heck I could replace that.

Deep breath, deep breath, deep breath . . .

Kelly - You accomplished a lot yesterday!!!! Do you think it is the change in weather? I noticed that when we had that brief cool down, I was able to accomplish so much more than the past few days (mid-80's). Anyhow, congrats on getting all that done.

Sandy - Love the pictures. You did a great job and I got such a kick out of it.

Sox - Have a safe trip and enjoy the 2 hour alone time you have with DS.

Weave - Not sure what the "Good Lord" is for but saying some prayers for you.

Vonn - Many years ago, I loved knick-knacks and had a bunch and then . . . I had kids. I had no time for dusting all these little knick-knacks. When I left the ex, I left the knick-knacks for him to dust. LOL With a 1-year old and a 2-year and working full-time, there was not time for that.

Now, I don't want any as I don't want to exert all my energy dusting them. Here in the dry desert, things get dusty rather quickly. I could dust this morning and by tomorrow I could dust again as if I never dusted the day before.

Fin - Laundry is not calling at me . . .it is SCREAMING. LOL. I will be bringing it over to DBF tomorrow. Glad you feel better today.

Sarah - Enjoy the snow!

Barb - A whole week off! Yahooooooo!!! I hope you are able to relax some over the next week and have some fun shopping with your friends.

Also, I made it to Grey's Anatomy last night without falling alseep. LOL. What is up with that Izzy/Denny carp. The guy is dead. I told DD17 that "Denny" probably needed a job and this was the only way the could hire him back in to the show. LOL.

Frank & Deb - Glad you were able to visit with those precious little ones as well as your ADD (adopted dear daughter).

Hi to anyone I may have missed.

Mornin'! The last of the laundry is in the dryer, just a few sheets. I am going through my bill basket today. You know, that basket that is supposed to be for collecting bills but somehow collects old bills and junk too?

That's it. Oh and I am calling Jim's doctor just to touch base in case we should come in earlier for our appointment.

I know you didn't ask my advice but I'm gonna offer it anyway...

I would create an email account that doesn't give away who you are. Pretend you're a guy. Tell him you're interested in the ipod and set up a meeting with him to purchase it. Once you're there you can tell him how coincidental it is that DD lost hers and he has one identical to the one she "lost". Oh, and take DBF along for protection!

Or...you could file a police report and show them the Craigslist ad as possible evidence. He could be in other trouble you aren't aware of and this could help them with the case.

What a scum.......

Trish, sorry to hear about the Ipod. We've gone through that in the past with some of my SIL's friends during her wild days as a teen.

Sandy, LOL. Know about that issue with the bill basket collecting other things.

Frank, we could start our own "I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC" commercial. Except for hubby's work laptop, Steve Jobs has taken over our house, LOL.

One load of laundry and dishes wirling away in the background. Other projects left to do, but taking a small break. Probably should get some lunch in there somewhere too.
