That is really funny!
One time i was cat sitting my brothers cat. It was a siamese cat and very clever. I had closed my door tight so it would not come in. I heard a bump at the door but did not see anything and went back to sleep. Then i feel breathing down on my eyes and i look up to see the cat steering down at me.

Hi Steve... Cats really do think they own their home!!!

 

[ter-moo]

Good morning!

Before I forget to respond, Nanu--glad you're all okay after that driving scare! And don't worry about DD giving up her nap--she'll just go to bed earlier in the evening. I used to make my kids go to their room (or sometimes onto MY bed) for an hour even if they didn't sleep. I'd let them listen to books on tape, or in DS19's case, READ (he could read at 2 1/2--we never figured out how he learned!) That way I still got a break during the day.

And Nancy, I'm glad your DD got some answers! Now I just hope she can get some RELIEF!

Hmm, today we were out late because of karate belt testing, so we stopped by Arby's to get some dinner (we like, never get Arby's so it was like a treat sort of). Well we got in the store and they tell us, "Oh, we're out of roast beef." That's like KFC being out of chicken! So we had to drive a ways away to find another one.

How weird! I was at Starbuck's once and the guy told me they were out of coffee. Luckily, he was just kidding...

Just a very quick hello and goodbye before I head off to my








LAST DAY of work at Wegmans!

This is how I feel today .

I hope it goes okay and that you feel confident in the decision you made!

I'll check in later to let you all know how it was. I'm scheduled till 6:00 but I'm leaving as soon as all my paperwork and filing is caught up. I have to clean out my file cabinet and pack up my stuff too. Then we have the wake tonight and after that I head out to the combined going away party.

I'm glad you'll still be able to go to the wake, even though you won't be at the funeral. That'll be nice for your DH's friend to have you guys there.

I had a great day yesterday in Berkeley! The walk we went on was actually on the campus--which was nice. I've only really seen the campus before through the eyes of my DS or my DH (who did undergrad there) and that's mainly the science and math departments. I saw areas I'd never seen!!!

We took DS out for an early dinner (he had forgotten about breakfast and wasn't able to do that, so we hung around all day and settled for dinner). It was so good to see him! We went to a great tapas place and ate and ate and ate!

When we went to pick him up, he emerged with a small MOHAWK! Turns out he'd gotten a haircut to be Forrest Gump for Halloween, and the guy who cut it, cut it real short on the sides and longer on top. DS had been messing around with it that morning and decided to make the long part all stick up. It was hysterical! He's never been a rebellious sort--in fact he's pretty straight-laced--which made it all the funnier! I kept calling him "Mohawk-Boy."

I've got a meeting this morning, so I'll have to go pretty soon.

Hi Steve... Cats really do think they own their home!!!

THAT would completely freak me out!!!

Lol he was greedy with the blanket to!

And to long for your trip Terri

 

[sweetinmaine]

I guess I should get going here...I've got a 50% coupon on 1 item at ToysRUs and a lunch date with my DH...(he comes out to the car and we eat whatever I've picked up for him) It's an escape from his job for 40 minutes!

I told DH that I'd start to pack so I guess if I throw a couple of items in my suitcase (that he casually brought up to our room this week) that counts as starting.

Have a great day and I hope to check back in later!!

 

[Muhlenberg]

Terri...glad you had a good time yesterday.

 

[Nanu57v]

Oh Nanu,
Everyone ok? The Outback is good.

He was the only one in the car, and he didn't hit anything except the bottom of the car going over the center barrier. DD and I met him there.

Oh yeah, I've never been to Outback, but there is one right next door to the Weight Watchers meeting place I go to and it smells really good when I walk out of the meetings!

Talk about temptation!

See y'all later!

That's crazy!


So, the birds have gone to my front this morning. I guess they are looking for frozen worms.

Did you hear that JK Rowling announced that Dumbledore was gay? I don't know why she had to do that. I liked my image of him the way he was. I always pictured that he had a wife back when he was younger who died that he just never talked about because it was too painful. THere was a lot he didn't talk about with Harry, so that fit.


Oh,a nd the cat thing was hilarious...I wonder what the guy rationalized the bruise from.

 

[Muhlenberg]

I gotta go to. There's a craft show at church. And later, when it hopefully warms up a tad, I have to put markers on our invisible fence so they can aerate our lawn when we're not here on Monday. And I have to pack for our one night trip. Tammi...if you throw a couple things in that suitcase, he should be happy.

 

[sweetinmaine]

Hi Terri!

Your day at Berkeley sounds like time well spent...What is tapas?

Our kids never cease to amaze us do they! Mohawk Boy!

You leave a week from today right? It's 29F here right now so one week from tomorrow when it's in the high 70's, low 80's it will feel like paradise! We're really looking forward to getting away from it all!

 

[ter-moo]

Tammy, here are some more pictures of Wilderness Lodge Villas:

They're in post #250.

Have fun at Toys R Us!

 

[sweetinmaine]

Thanks Terri...The view really does look so relaxing...I'm looking forward to that trip too...April seems like a long ways off but it will get me through the dead cold of winter here...

The pics below those of VWL are of All Star Music...We stayed there on one of our earlier trips..brought back some memories too! Thanks again

Hi Terri!

Your day at Berkeley sounds like time well spent...What is tapas?

It's Spanish food, but in small portions. (kinda like ALL appetizers) You order a whole bunch of stuff and share it all. I think we had 5 plates for dinner and 2 desserts between the three of us--all of it really good!

Our kids never cease to amaze us do they! Mohawk Boy!

Yep--one week from today! DH and I are already disagreeing about what time to leave for the airport! I always want to leave earlier than he does. Since our plane leaves at 6:10 AM, we'll have to go fairly early--the airport is 35 minutes away.

I'm SO excited!!!!!

 

[sweetinmaine]

OK...I'm really on my way...


Oh wait...Hi Nanu!!!

 

[3pirates]

Okay, I finally caught up! DD has dropped her nap I think. Hasn't napped all week. I've let her cry in her crib long enough to shower and stuff, but that was my prime DISing and Cleaning time!

I think Terri said something similar, but I had one DS give up his nap really early. (Her future SIL, now 15.) I would have him play in his room, same thing, he could listen to music, look at books, play with toys, anything he wanted. We called it quiet time. That gave me time to get a few things done, and when "quiet time" was over I always told him it was "him" time and we could do something HE chose.

Okay, now this is slow. We went to Outback for dinner tonite. I knew DH really needed a relaxing evening so I tried really hard not to think about the fact that we had no budget for this money. And on the way there he got distracted and drove into opposing traffic!!! He had to go up over the hump in the middle of the roadway to get back. And of course he has to "volunteer" again tomorrow at work.

Ohhhh...scary! Sounds like the guy is wearing himself out.

On the out to eat front, there are a couple of things we have done when we're feeling pinched. One, look for coupons! Two, eat lunch out. Sometimes on the weekend when we feel like we want to eat out but want to use money for something else, we have found if you eat lunch it is less expensive because the portions are smaller. Still, you get that eating out experience and having a sandwich for dinner is just fine!

Oh yeah, I've never been to Outback, but there is one right next door to the Weight Watchers meeting place I go to and it smells really good when I walk out of the meetings!

Oh....that's harsh. I used to have something similar where I go exercise. Outside of the strip mall there was a breakfast/barbeque place. So no matter what time you came out of the place after working out, you either could smell bacon, smoked meat.... Made the walk to the car seem a little longer.

Hmm, today we were out late because of karate belt testing, so we stopped by Arby's to get some dinner (we like, never get Arby's so it was like a treat sort of).

OK, that's just mean!

We had something similar happen to us at a Dunkin Donuts in NH...What??? No donuts!!!

LAST DAY of work at Wegmans!

This is how I feel today .

I'm sure you have a lot of mixed emotions. Just remember, better things ahead!

I just saw pictures of Va. Beach from yesterday. I hope Lynn made it ok.

I didn't see them, but I can imagine, that storm was getting pretty close to the coast. Hopefully she is fine.

Good morning!

I've got a meeting this morning, so I'll have to go pretty soon.

The Mohawk thing is really cute...it's fun when you see them let their hair down (or whatever ) once in awhile.

Sounds like a great day....

And did youtell the guy at Starbucks he shouldn't do that to a middle aged woman!

 

[Eclpz314]

Good Morning! and that's coming from a VERY windy and rather cool Va Beach! There's not been a lot of rain, but the wind is making it feel cooler than at home! Travel was really strange with no kids along! I haven't read back here yet to see what's new, but just taking advantage of some downtime at dd's.
