Good morning Shaun, Hope you have a good time with the camping trip.

Today's plans include cleaning up all the glass from the pictures falling off the walls from the earthquake. Then I need to replace the glass for them. Saturday is supposed to be raining here again, so hopefully I will get the rest of the spring cleaning done. Saturday evening will be spent will a few good friends coming over for dinner. Sunday will be yard work hopefully.

Will be clinking with my diet Pepsi later.

Happy Friday everyone!

Linda WOW about that earthquake! Holy Shamoly, Mother Nature sure is annoyed about something!

Sounds like a fun weekend Shaun, enjoy!

Beautiful weather here so we intend to spend as much time in the yard as possible. Tomorrow we are BBQ'ing with friends, Sunday more yard work. The warmth feels so good!

Eloise I am sorry that I only know that they are Castor beans. That is a plant that reseeded itself year after year while I was gone and when I came back I planted just ONE in that corner and the frost got it night before last and it is a goner now. I am still hoping thou that the seeds might still develope. Anybody knows if they would still be viable? I always come back and read all your postings, just sometimes I forget to come back again and answer if there is a question lol. sorry. Kylie I let you know in a bit how cold it is here today. I must be crazy to go out there now. Lucy

Well, it's not SO cold here, about 18F, a high of 12F for tomorrow and Sunday, lows below zero. Snow today, tomorrow, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, LOL, welcome to Michigan! Good thing I love it. (grin) Woodie, I might bake some oatmeal cookies myself and take some to Dad. Yes, I take leftovers to Amanda and to Dad, LOL. Stacie, hug that new baby for me. At least your brother can call you! Pixiestix, you're colder than we are. Better bake something. Work on your next contest, or something.... Nancy, put on those sweats. Mine are Carhartts, nice and warm. Fashionable for Michigan too, LOL. Lori, I'll cheer for the Patriots, just for you. So, how much stuff do you have to cook to feed all those boys? Michael, you need a break, you're starting to sound a bit strained. Take care of yourself, will you? Diane, robins? Maybe they can wear some of those old sweaters. (grin) Pam, let's not talk about Christmas decorations, OK? I finally got the lights off the front porch and just realized this morning that I still have a Santa doormat in front of the door. Sigh. I'll be finding stuff until Easter. Maggie, better you than me on those blinds. I completely lack the decorator gene, I just paint everything white! Stacy, that's a good idea, check out camping cabins and think about summer. I love seeing those eagles, we have a pair that nest near the farm but they're elusive. Gina, Florida has better beaches? So I don't need to bring a swimsuit when I come to California? chase, I hope you only get snowed in with people you'd like to be snowed in with! Lee, you're right. Gina needs to post a foot shot... Linda, pile on the wood, it's going to be cold for a while. A bridal shower? You're getting married again? LOL I'm intending to use tomorrow as a cooking day. I want to make some meatballs for Amanda's freezer. (ground beef out of my freezer and into hers, and voila!! I might have some freezer space again) Orange marmalade is on the agenda too, peaches are 99 cents a pound at the grocery store, if they taste good, maybe some sugar free peach syrup for Dad's pancakes. Sunday is the farm and it'll be cold, so nothing will have been done. I'll need to bundle up to fill tanks and hay feeders, feed chickens, fill bird feeders. Monday I'm off work, it's one of those "government holidays". Amanda has Old Navy gift cards and there are 75% off sales right now, so I'm taking her shopping, then hitting Marshall's for dish shopping (like I need any) and then Chuck E. Cheese for lunch. Tuesday I'm still off work. Dad's having surgery on his "good leg", they're going to try to open up some veins to improve his circulation. He's got some diabetic ulcers that won't heal and he's having problems with the artificial knee in that leg. Sigh. He has to be in Grand Rapids at 5:30 a.m. and wants me to drive him, so I have to be at his house at 4 a.m. elery is taking a vacation day from work to come along and keep me company (and keep my sister and stepmom from driving me insane, LOL). So, clink to everyone here, and think some good thoughts for Dad, if you will be so kind. Annie

TGIF here too. Elery is on his way up for the weekend and he's bringing supper, that's a good thing. Tomorrow we're going out to visit my mother and I'm taking Amanda and the kids with me. Check up on the "old people", aka Dad and Stepmom, and do the regular chores then because Elery wants to go to church on Sunday. He wants to meet my pastor, he's shopping for someone to marry us, LOL. I keep telling him not to rush me.... Lori, no one notices those 10 hour days I put in either, but they sure sit up and mention it when I'm half an hour late because I have a dentist appointment or something, sheesh. They don't manage to add up those late days either, to find out that I worked 60 hours and got paid for 40, they just notice that half an hour. And have I mentioned that I just hate the media anyway? chase, I hope that septic problem is quick and cheap, this time of year, with all that snow, it's going to be a PIA, plus stinky. Ick. Terri, no Trader Joe's? Well, OK, I guess a new couch should make up for it. Michelle, we had 14 inches of snow here too, some is going to have to melt before we have room for any more! The rivers are already high here, it's so cold that the water doesn't soak into the frozen ground and we've already had flood warnings. In February! Yes, if we get a thaw, it'll be exciting all right. duane, I'm glad business is good. I think. (grin) Fish and chips do sound good, though. Annie

Lori I'm rooting for the Pats just for you. But I gotta tell ya I hate watching basketball. Sharon we saw that production here in LA. John Boy is no Peter Fonda, but it was still pretty good! Bessiedawg you go girl Kidney stones are no fun. I watched DH go through a lithotrypsy (sp?). Susie the caregivers forum will help. I'd also recommend seeing if you can get a social worker to help convince her. Good luck. I've told my boys to give me a martini and chocolate when the time comes that I cannot be easily cared for and they can do what they want, I won't fight. Gina everytime I hear you say 'ping pong' I can't help but think of 'Priscilla Queen of the Desert'. I'll shut up now. Shaun I'm sure you'll find a way to make your hubs forget that you didn't get him a bday card. Ahem. Diane I'm tired just reading what you are doing. I'd love to come help you. Woodie enjoy your shows. Did you see Avenue Q yet? We took our boys. Heh heh. Carol, just for you, I sing 'The Internet is for....' (finish that sentence, or look it up on YouTube) Changeling, feel better. Me? Yesterday it was Cotillion with DS #2 - parent/child dance. Awwwww. I tried to get out of it by scheduling his teeth (two of 'em) extraction for that afternoon. It didn't work, he came home, got over it, and said 'get dressed mom, we're going dancing'. Dang (for those who don't know me yet, thats why they call me 'Evil Jessy'). Sent the rest of the family out for dinner. Today I drove DS #1 to take a practice SAT/ACT exam, and we're hanging the rest of the day. Tomorrow is the game! Basketball, right? What do I know.....its all about the food and company. For Lori and Bob, go PATS!

Shaun, have fum camping..... they are waiting for you...

Linda, I hope thats the only damage you have.

Sharon, YES!!!! Nice to finally get outside.

There's not any plans here...yet. I think we are going out tonight. The weekend should be pretty quiet, yardwork and I'm going to continue painting woodwork if I can't be outside. Need to paint the garage doors too...and the list keeps growing.

I'll fit in a little *clink* or two!

TGIF in deed...
You guys make me laugh with all your frogs and after my up and down day so far, I needed it.

Long and short of it is that people never change...someone emailed (cc'd me) with a snide remark about 13yo DS. I want to put my hand throught the computer and slap the guy..arrggghhh. That is the down side...maybe I should hope his games get invaded by frogs .. wouldn't torcher poor little frogs to him.

On the upside - DD left yesterday for a 10 day school trip through Amsterdam, Belguim, and then 5 of the days with exchange families in Germany. Band/Choir performances there. Really happy she called me this morning so I know she is ok!!!! : )

For me it will be like rest, doing yardwork tomorrow because it will be in 70's in CT and house work Sunday becase it will cool down.

Looking forward to tinking tonight to everyone tonight and cursing that other moron.

Be safe all-Heidi

Camping!!? (Looking out at my snow piles...)

Yard work!!? (Looking out at my snow piles...)

BBQing!!? (Looking out at my snow piles...)

OK, yes I am tired of winter...and it's supposed to snow again this weekend.

This week has been one big sigh of relief. My problem child at work decided it was in her best interest to resign her position (think she knew what was coming next). One of my ex-employees has moved back to town and says she will work as a temp until we decide on what positions we will offer. Hopefully she will just stay on so I don't have to advertise. Ugh.

Today is housecleaning day since I can't get out and work in the yard. Tomorrow's an easy day at work and no plans on Sunday. If it's snowing we may just hunker down and bake (although I'm sure the kid will try and talk me into a trip to the mall).

Enjoy your weekend outside, everyone (sniff). ~clink~

You're going camping! Yeah! The new little spring ticks will have a banquet! LOL

I saw about the earthquake this morning on the news! Wow! I'd heard that the midwest is an earthquake zone, but always that would happen in another million years from now.

Frogs legs schmrog legs! Yuck! The mere thought of eating a frog just gives me the jimmies.

Isn't it amazing what people will say online or in an email that they'd never say in public to be heard, or to your face?? Seems to me nasty emails have more to do with the sender's lack of character than whatever or whoever they are giving a piece of the dark side of their mind. Somehow they feel empowered and righteous. Make a copy of the email and later, use it to show the harrassment or whatever to you, to your DS, and to whatever event is happening that caused it to be sent.

We are having company arrive sometime around one to two today. We haven't seen each other in 5 years and I can hardly wait! We've been friends for about 45 years, since we were in school!

So, our weekend will be spent gabbing away, going out to eat much of the time, and having a completely wonderful weekend!

I made a lemon cake this morning and thank the Lord, it turned out beautiful!

TGIF everyone!!!

I am clinking with some Irish breakfast tea....ICED!!!
Oh is so good to make ICED TEA!!!

I decided that I needed a Susie Day-you know a day to do whatever I want. Its been a bad week. I didn't mention it earlier cuz I feel like such a debby downer but DS had yet another gran maul at school the other day. Same class too...that teacher must be beside himself!
I was home so I met him at the hospital. Poor kid had the ambulance ride by himself this time.
I don't want to dwell on it...I know you guys wish him/us well....I can feel the good vibes as well as the prayers.
WE'll be fine.

SO I went to the gym and did a full workout! I never have time for that!! Then I went and picked out some bimbo nail polish and gave myself a pedicure. Gotta be sandle ready!!

Then I picked up the phone and called an old pal and we talked for over an hour! Great to just have time to catch up!

This afternoon I will drive over to NJ to go to the Vanity Fair outlet. I lost weight so I need some new togs!! Plus the gas is SO much cheaper in NJ!! LOL!!

Tonight after a quick stop to visit DB, Frank and I are gonna try "chipolte" which just opened near the nursing home. I don't know much about it other than its a lot like Baja Fresh which we enjoy.

Tomorrow will be my garden day...supposed to get cooler so I may or may not get some flowers.
Sunday I am going to AC!!

Hey Shaun...have a good time camping...sounds like fun!!
Linda...gosh that earthquake must have been scary!! I only felt a tremor and it just about scared the bejesus out of me!!
Sharon...we'll compare blisters and backaches by Sunday!! Enjoy your BBQ!!
Nancy...paint the garage door is on my list too...prob get Drew to do it!!
Heidi...this was an adult talking about a child?? Whoa...thats not good!! Hope DD has a wonderful time!
Katie...doesn't every workplace have a problem child?? Glad you got yours resolved. Sorry about the snow piles!!
DG...happy gabbing!! Hows the room planning coming along??

Happy Weekend and to my Jewish brothers and sisters...Much happiness and peace to each of you as you gather with loved ones for passover!

PEACE!

Shaun are you taking Ricky?
Linda, I'm sorry you had earthquake damage.
Sharon, Nancy and Heidi, enjoy the outdoors!
Katie, I love it when they fire themselves. Good for them to see the writing on the wall.
Ginger, enjoy your company.

Tonight and Sunday will be ping pong lessons and practice. I need to take Odo's old baby play pen to my girlfriend - her mom just got a 2-month old shitzu. Saturday I need to make a Costco run, go to the bank and get the car washed. Maybe the dog park, which means a bath for Odo afterwards. He needs his nails clipped too.

Just an ordinary weekend for me. CLINK everyone!!!

Ditto!
You can guess that my weekend is going to be one combining joy and relief along with aerobic cooking in that I am 3 days behind because of Arthur's medical ordeal.

Anyway, with the clock ticking, I want to wish all of my CF friends a wonderful weekend and to my fellow Jews, all the blessings associated with Passover. May the holiday it be filled with family and joy. Dayanu!

Update for you all then I am off to do some major clinking :)

I reread the email that he "sent" to the other guy, when in reality he sent it to me by accident. I thought I was cc'd on it. NOPE he must have hit reply instead of forward. So I kindly directed it the correct person and said I don't think my eyes were suppose to see what he wrote about my son since he never liked him. The ump coordinator is a heck of a nice guy and said that DS is always welcome to coach. :)

Heard from DD and she is alive and well. Toured a dutch shoe factory and enjoyed lunch at Hard Rock. Parents are emailing telling everyone when we hear from kids, all the girls are talking about the wooden shoes, boys haven't called home yet. One woman just wrote me that her son is probably looking at the girls instead of shoes...better keep his eyes off my daughter... :)

Clinking again...til monday!
Heidi
