General Discussion & Chat: Best/Worse/What did I learn today? Part 12, 1 by tangiegirl

LOL, Laura. I've almost done that but clicked "stop" in time. I'll go over and read you there. Very much looking forward to baby pictures. Good that you keep on pushing right back at work. Proud of your strength. So many would just sit back and take the disrespect, but not our “wonder”….you go, woman. Super job fitting into those jeans…great feeling, isn’t it? I’ve no doubt you look marvelous in them.

Jeannine…So glad you enjoyed Busch Gardens. It is such a cool place. I remember going often as a child in Florida.

Judy….looking forward to lily photo… Isn’t it grand to wake up to, or come home to, garden surprises? How are you feeling? You sound good. Strong. Hope you feel that way, too. Send those three kids my way….DS is moving closer to work in Delaware next week and I am afraid to go up in the loft where he’s been staying…..the last time I ventured up….I couldn’t see the floor at all…Yikes! Thanks for posting baby cake instructions I have printed and saved to hard drive. No babies on the horizon here, but surely someone I know will cooperate soon so that I can try these out

Gillian…glad you are all home safe and sound. I love to travel, but think coming home might be the best part, but then a good bit of my travel has been work related so maybe I’m not a good judge. I do know I am afraid to go back to the French West Indies again….The last time we were there we came within an inch of just deciding to come home to the states long enough to sell things off, pack our lives up and just go back and take it from there. We weren’t quite empty nesters then, as we are now. It could definitely happen. Good thing the web really is worldwide….just in case, you know?

Trop…I’m still drooling over your box of goodies. You’ll have to give us a pictorial when they grow up. Live music is almost always worth the next day hangover though, isn’t it?

Nap…wonderful story and thanks for the link….Enjoy hearing a happy story with so much bad going on in the world.

LOL, Liz….the ant farm has arrived but of course, no ants yet….they are “mail away for ants” which makes sense…wonder what is the shelf life of an ant would be? No, you didn’t miss anything. H was just having a crabby day. He’s usually so cheerful (even when he first wakes up! I swear, I just want to slap him sometimes, lol). The first seven years we lived together we would start every morning with this “conversation”

Him “Good Morning Pie” (Pie=pet name for me) followed by five to fifteen minutes of happy chatter from him.
Me “…….”
Him “Honey?”
Me “…….”
Him “Are you mad at me?”
Me “…….”
Him “Did I do something wrong?”
Me “Yes.” “YOU’RE TALKING.”

After about seven years, he finally stopped worrying, each and every morning, that I was angry with him. I make an exception if company is about, but if it’s just family or good friends, I’m verbally non-responsive when I first wake up. I hear what’s said. Sometimes I even process what’s said. I just don’t respond to external stimuli very well until I’ve been up for a while. Got a belly laugh out of your silly men story…isn’t that just SO typical!

Betty…..you are officially on holiday! That must feel wonderful. When did you say that Dr. would be back in town? While I doubt the word rest will be one you’ll use frequently in your vacation posts…I am glad to hear that you are staying around home and just contemplating some day trips. I would worry less if you had already seen your Doctor and would worry more yet if you were traveling. Stopping soft drinks is very hard. It’s mostly the caffeine, I think. Watch you don’t get even worse headaches (from caffeine withdrawal) in the next week or so.

araness….hope you enjoyed your solitary evening?

Shar? Unless I missed a post from you, you are awfully quiet. Hope you are okay?

Looks like I may have frightened Frank off with my jabber…if not, this one should do it, for sure. lol

I’ll do my best and worst in the morning. It was a sunflower kind of day here, so wanted to share…..

Be well, all….enjoy your night.
