Hi all my Saturday hot and boring. I think I will bring ice tea and those that like something stronger I will also make the long island variety.
Hey Mishelle! Boring is right! I did spring cleaning all day! We were suppose to go to the lake but it is overcast and raining on and off! Dang! I wanted to go fishing! MV
Okay. Well yesterday was my Saturday and what a day!! Started with housework - put the 3 kids to work and we were pretty much finished by 10.30 am when I then jumped in the car and dropped eldest at friends house. From there took daughter to the park for the launch of the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal. She danced on the stage. It was freezing and I was trying with all my might to bring on a hot flush .... with no success! From there home for quick bite of lunch. Then back into town for netball game number 1. Finished that then ducked to the nursing home to wish my grandma a happy 90th birthday!!!! WOW!! Then sped back to netball courts for game number 2. Raced to the grocery shop and then home at 4.30 pm. Grabbed the washing off the line and then ...... whew ...... popped the cork off a bottle! Mmmmmmmm. Bliss. Today is Sunday and I've started it in a much more civilised manner. We will soon be heading to my mum and dad's place for lunch. They are bringing Grandma out of the nursing home today for a bbq and cake with the family. The boys are currently out fishing ... and I know that they have caught at least one trout ... YAY!! They'll be home soon then off we go. So, let's see. I have a gorgeous Tasmanian Brie here. Just delicious with some sweet grapes and crackers. I also have a pesto, basil and cashew dip ..... mmmmmmmm it's so nice. Here .. have some! Oh gosh, that hot tub sure is nice Mary. Just what I needed!! NOW NO SPLASHING OKAY????
I could use some rain send some this way. I just did laundry. Right now my former best friends son ( she dropped him on my doorstep) is playing music and I am trying to get my babies to dance. Dustin and Emily Grace are 18 months old.
Hello, ladies! How about some cookies? I got three kinds - my sweet tooth is hitting hard! Chocolate chip, sugar wafers, and double stuff oreos :D
Hey Mishelle, are your babies twins? Soundsl like you inherited a teenager! I have one of those, my 18 year old daughter begged us to let her long time friend come live with us this year so she could attend her senior year in the city. Caitlin, my daughter, learned a valuable lesson about picking roommates! She and Rachel are still friends but there was stress! Hopefully Cait will employ what she learned this year in college next year! Meanwhile, Frank and I are actually looking forward to the empty nest next fall! Two eighteen year olds! We must be nuts, but overall they are both good kids! MV
Hey Vixen, sorry I missed you on the Battalion Lite, had my speaker turned down all the way, Rachel uses my personal laptop, alot! And she probably turned it down. MV
Hello everyone!! I have some salad over here. Gotta keep things moving. :) I have been downstairs most of the day. Walked around a little bit outside too. I am only doing steps once a day right now so once I go up, I won't be back down until tomorrow. My gyn was a bit reluctant to even say once a day. I will take a glass of regular ice tea please.
I've was thinking, on the plane to Scottsdale, that I should get one of those, feel kind of old fashioned with my CD player, but about the only time I use it is on the plane, wards off the poor miserable infants with ear issues screaming throughout the flight. Had not thought about the grocery store, good idea! MV
Hi everybody!!! Look at me - I'm back and posting...YIPPPPEE!!!
Busy day like everyone else. First day of sun in so long - had to get some flyers in the ground and of course the usual saturday stuff. The sun was actually out in force today - finally feels like summer might be coming.
I am dropping off some sour cream and horseradish dip and whole grain crackers - sounds weird but it's a pretty good combination! Cant wait to get in the hot tub!!!
We must all be getting into the Ipod thing. I got one for my birthday, in march. My hubby figured I could load the music I like and then I could listen to it when I was in the hospital. I discovered one other thing about it. When I get on the treadmill and have fast music I go through my miles faster.
Did some on say cookies. I made some double chocolate cookies on thursday. They are from a lite and healthy cook book but boy they are rich.
Didn't know if I would be here tonight. I was sick for two days. I do this every so often. Really bothers my other half because I usually run a temp or 101 or 102. I told him it was a crash diet. When you don't eat for two days, take gravol, and stay in bed you are going to lose a few pounds. Who was it needed rain? We have had nothing but for the last week and a half. Some areas out west and in Quebec have had flooding.
Enjoy the party.
Homemade salsa and guacamole!!!! Lovin it!!! Pina Colada coming right up! Welcome Fab, Since you missed last week, Who was your first Cyster? Who answered your first post? I was not at all surprised that just about everyone who attended Cyber Party last week remembered theirs! Mine was Mickey. MV
No Mary he doesnt help the only thing he helps do is get on my everlasting nerve. My 14 year old says I need to go to the bar, the thing is I dont drink @ least not enuff to go to the bar. I do bartend when school is out for the summer. Maybe outta start early cuz like I said I gotta go
I believe mine was Tascha, or possibly you. I just remember Tascha's famous quote ...99% of all cysts, etc.
Good to hear from you Brenda! Sorry you have been under the weather, figuratively and otherwise! Was today better? MV
Hey Girl,
I got a stepson like that! Burdens to bear eh!! My daughter, Caitlin, is talking about getting a job this summer, she's eighteen, driving a drink cart on one of the upscale golfcourses out west of town here. I suggested a bartending school since it might be a good steady income during college but, then again, there are the Mother willies I get. Nevermind that, does she need the bartenders school? MV
I am the one that needs rain it has been over 100 degrees here tis quite nasty
oohhh...hot tub! **Wubbie sinking happily into hot water**
I come bearing goodies!! Homemade chocolate truffles, chocolate covered strawberries, and my personal favorite...chocolate martini's for all! (Can anyone tell what I'm craving??)
Aahhh, happy chocolate hot tub bliss. Best I've felt all week :)
C'mon... plenty of truffles... and the best part? Cyber chocolate is non-fattening! Whoo Hoo!
God I enjoy Cyber Chocolate!!!! Thanks Marianne!!!! Fae got the mass chocholate cravings going earlier with her cookies! Yowsa, hot tub and cyber choc! I am in heaven! MV
It really depends. I work in a bar you would not want your daughter in it is a roadhouse. Very rough crowd. They did train me though also customers will tell u how to fix their drinks if u dont know. The only reason I do it is the tips are really good
The one that answered my first post was MickiVicki
Yeah my babies are twins I have 3 other children as well and now this 20 yr old. I usually tell my kids y all got to go but now I feel definately outnumbered so maybe I should be the one to go
Does he help out Mishelle? Boys that age don't allays have much initiative. MV
Hey ladies, got some hot wings here. Had a great day at the ball park. Rosie's team won all three games and we are in the semi finals tomorrow!!! Mary, may I please have one of those lovely margaritas??
