A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall CoffeeHouse 2289--Some sunshine would be fine !!

and yes I truely think that would be nice--I am SO very tired of rain---

I hope you didn't poke it....

.... ....

I'll be back in about 1/2 hour

ok--so I am late..

Pretty much what I wanted to say, but didn't.

OK so you ladies have much more nerve than I do!!!
But I think a LOT of us were thinking just that about not poking the bear.

Yes, i figured it was hovering in the forefront of a lot of minds.

well, I thank you so very much---what have you been up to today???

Evening everyone! I had a pretty good day today despite the morning starting off crappy. I had to work on the unit today which meant getting to work by 7am. There was something else work related that happened this morning before I even got there that had nothing to do with me and resulted in a nurse giving out my home phone number. I tried not to let it get me down too much before I even got there and just decided to let my supervisor know about it tomorrow. Well, the weekend supervisor had come upstairs and I knew she was a can do person so I told her about it and she took care of it. I even received an apology from the person who made the phone call at 6:15am. Work was surprisingly easy and this morning I had packed my running gear just in case I felt up to running after work. Not only did I feel up to running but I felt up to running for a while. A long while. I ran for an hour! When I got back to my car, which was conveniently parked between the trail and grocery store, I went into the grocery store to buy some halibut. On Friday the seafood guy told me to come in on Sunday because they were running a special promotion on halibut. $4.99 a pound. That's practically free! So, I got myself a little over three pounds of it and now I just need to cut the filets and freeze them. Yummy, I love halibut. I came home with the "runner's high" and cooked dinner. Aros was fully expecting to have a grumpy wife come home from a grumpy day at work but I was in a great mood and nothing could bring me down. Now, I'm getting quite sore, so I sat in a hot tub for a while and now I'm stretching while I type. I'm multi-talented.

wow sounds like you had a full day Cheryl. also sounds like you handled it well.
good for you. I bet Aros is happy as well.
I hope the hot water helps you.

Cheryl I'm glad you had such a successful day. And very, very glad you were able to resolve that issue at work. Good going, girl! Halibut filets... yum... I'll just pass my plate a little to the left!

I had a frustrating day.

My pal Angel stopped by just before 9 PM w/ a pound of coffee & a pack of smokes. I was MUCH happier after that! I had expected my Sunday Girl to be here at 8 AM to run to the store to buy those items. It was a lonnnng wait til 9 PM!!!!

Maxi never did have a chance to do what was in his mind for the day.

Now I'm going to finish loading the dishwasher & run it before I head to bed.


Merme

Hi, Merme--
so sorry about your girl not showing up.

sorry about Maxi's day not going as he had planned as well.

but so glad that you have such a friend as Angel.

Thanks Carol. Hot water, aleve, stretching, and my legs feel almost normal again. Now I'm enjoying a five mile victory beer.

Merme, you going to have to pass that plate wayyy to the left. All the way to the west coast. I'd love to share, Joey is the only other person in the house who would eat but he's not getting any.

ah--a 5 mile victory beer !! That should cure what ails ya, right???
good for you !!

I'm enjoying my 5th glass of whine and 1/2 a xanax.

Good for you. what kind of wine is it??
(I have my preferences you see)

Chardonnay

I'm drinking milk because my blood sugar dropped too low. Gotta stay up & eat til it goes higher.

Yeah, Cheryl, I was thinking way way left to reach you!

Cindy it is nice to see you, Chardonnay and all.

alrighty then--pass me a glass

nighty night everyone--sweet dreams to all.

Good night all. A full day of sandbags and weeding has messed with my achey bones. They need rest.

Good morning all. Sun is shining and supposed to be nice this week

I had a bad day yesterday so I stayed away from the forum for the day..Ya that's right, I lost my temper and exploded on Facebook with family...and it felt sooooooo goooood.

Today is a new day..and I woke up with no stress what so ever. DH even did the supper dishes last night for me..yup miracles do exist

Good morning, everybody!

Tamara, I'm sorry you had such a difficult time of it yesterday but isn't it ohsovery nice to wake up fresh today? I'm glad for you.



I have a very busy week ahead w/ Maxi's Confirmation next Sunday.

Hi Merme, thanks.

We'll be two busy bees this week. DD's baby shower is this Sunday also.

Want some it's nice and hot.

In again for a few..waiting on a load of laundry.

Thinking I need to get out there and mow my dandelions, the grass hasn't grown but my yard is all a pretty shade of yellow..not

I am glad you are having a better day today, Tamara.
Good morning. I overslept today.

Tina, over sleeping is good when one is working so hard.

I'll be in and out all day, doing little chores and taking lots of breaks.

Just stopping in to say I may or may not be around a lot the next couple of weeks. Huh?? Well... check this out--

Today my in-laws, including brother & sister in-law, arrive. They will be here until Thursday morning. Thursday afternoon friends with three boys (one still crawling) arrive. They will be here until Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon (or maybe Monday) my mom & brother arrive. They will be here until Thursday. And then... I think we are expecting company in early June. Fortunately, the shelf in the store room that contains an assortment of adult beverages is well stocked, just in case I loose my mind in the coming days. So like I said, I may or may not be around. It's good to know I have a "home away from home" if things get too wild.

Anyhoo... you should see the place! I cleaned house!!

Oh my Marica ~you're gonna be busy.

Just got in from mowing dandelions, how can they grow so tall and not the grass? I just don't understand it. Oh and I have learned another cherry tree is dead. I went from 5 down to one now, that bites.

So glad the sun is shining for you.

Sorry about yesterday but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do ya know??? :wink:

and see, even your DH knew not to press the subject. He thought & knew just what to do--good for him!!!

Good grief, Marica. You are going to be very busy. Put them all to work out on the farm.
I have one guest coming next month and I need to clean too.

Yep, Marica, Tina has a good point,

Put 'em to work--it'll let them know what you do there, beside sit, look around and smile. Because I know that is what I would be doing. :wink:

Oh... they said they *want* to work!!

In all fairness, the families do work when they come to visit. But here's the thing, it's like those people with cleaning ladies who clean their houses before the cleaning lady comes! I have to remember to clean the microwave so that I won't be embarrassed!

Mostly we will be working outside (not sure how the Texans and Arizonans will do with Miss'ippi humidity, though). I still have so much planting to do, and they will be a big help with that.

Oops... here goes John calling me again! Gotta run and see what he can't find!

NO, he told me to stop fighting with people, silent treatment kicked in....he did the dishes

NO, he told me to stop fighting with people, silent treatment kicked in....he did the dishes [/quote]

ah well then--whatever works--he KNEW he had overstepped then, HUH??----smart man.

Ya I was mean to everyone yesterday...

No, You weren't mean to us. You kept away so we wouldn't upset you too.
I have been out weedeating while the cool weather sticks around.

Hi Tina... No I kept away so I wouldn't upset you...

I weed-wacked today also.
