Coffee and...For, Fri. Feb. 10, 2006

Susan,
You stay up that late???? to do it around 11:00 or 11:30,,,I'm in the same time zone and I am having a hard time staying up til 10:30 to get it up,,,LOL

Thank-You so much,
Kelly

Yeah, I usually stay up till midnight, have been going to bed at 11:30 lately cause I take my ambien earlier so I will be sure to get to sleep. Stupid shoulder. LOL

I usually come back here after my shower and brushing my teeth and then go to bed from here. So I get here about 10:40 to 10:50 or so. Can always start it as soon as I get here I guess. Some people like to mark it before they turn in. I did when I was hurting so much. Sometimes just couldn't wait.

Susan

Hi everyone
Yikes! It's been one of those days. LOL I'm so very glad my head was attached to my body today because if not ... I'd probably have misplaced it *somewhere*.
It seems I spent more time going around in circles than I did actually accomplishing things, but I stayed busy doing *something*.

Kelly, I'm sorry you are having a rotten time of it lately. I know how terrible it feels when your schedule gets turned upside down. I've always suffered from insomnia, so I can certainly understand about that. I'd be willing to help Susan out with the postings some. I *think* I know how to do it. I'm on the same time zone as Darius, though.:)

McCool, my tomatoes are still doing okay ... wonders of wonders! I've posted more pics on the tomato forum. I sure hope they make it.

Defoe, how is your MIL tonight? Am still praying for her.

Oh Susan, forgot to tell you how happy I am about the kitty news. Was sorry to hear about your DD, but sure hope all goes well with your plans to be with her.

Well, I know I have done a lousy job of replying tonight, but I'll try to do better tomorrow. Just know I'm saying prayers for those who are under the weather and cheering for those who have made accomplishments and have received good news. Hope everyone has a good night's sleep.
... Elaine

Now Oz, you take care of that sweet little kitty. She depends on you and DW even though she doesnt want you to know it. Look at how she follows you all over. Isn't that precious.?

I have to have all my animals inside at night. The only animals I have lost to anything other than illness were outside at night when it happened.

Git r IN.....LOL

Gosh, I said I would be back when I needed a break, but didn't make it.

Woodspirit, good luck on getting that job.

Sarv, Poor, DS, I would still try to sneak him some bucks!! Yeah, I had wondered about the cousin. Give us an update.

Meezer, Stress does funny things to the mind/body. One time I showed up 2 days early for a hair appointment, and she took me, no comments. Later I realized what I had done, called her and apologized, she said not to worry. It was embarrasing. I wish I were there for the cat antics. No jury would convict Sami of any abberant behaviour. His innocent looks would get him off!! LOL

dmc,Wish I could see the refurbishing. I have a soft spot for old buildings too. I am going back to the Farm forum and look at those pics again. Thanks. I knew I had seen them.

Mary, sorry you didn't get to ride today. I hate it when people say they will be somewhere at a certain time and are not. I have got so that I just hang a note on my door, saying sorry I missed you!! Let them figure out how they are going to make connections. Amanda Panda is getting very mischievious, think she has been taking lessons from Sammi?

Babs, your mom is a doll. I almost spurted the beverage of choice out my nose reading where she gave your DH a pinch on the bum. Give her a great big hug. She's right you know, when I am old, I shall do whatever I want!!
Thanks for the advice for DMIL. DH read the post and as he is meeting with the Dr tomorrow, will ask about the Lorizipam.

101 Hi! How's your little babies? Still green and growing?

GG sorry about your funk. I would have volunteered to start the post, but you would have had to give step by step instructions. Thanks to ?? who is going to do it.

kittymom, time flies. Remember when you were so sick and didn't think it would get better? See the sun always comes up in the morning. Good news on the fur kids. Wow, I would try to find out who dropped the ball of the worker's comp issue. Don't let them hang this wrap on you. I know and you know that DD would do okay without you, but to keep the stress levels down, glad you are going.

Sassygrang, Hi! I remember you, stop in more often.

tgif I love those red birds. We have them here, but not in the numbers you have.

Oz, cats are loving when they want to be. Any other time, feign indifference. The eagles are so majestic and beautiful, but I would hate to have to watch as they snatched my pets or the little ducks for dinner. I might just have to get a sling shot after them.

Well, to fill you all in on my day. Had scads of paper work to do. Filled 5 trades and got them in the mail, did DS's taxes, paid some bills,sill didn't get done with it all, did 2 loads of laundry, ran to post office and bank. Stopped by DM's on the way home, she has 3 huge packages that need to be returned, so brought them home and got them ready to go tomorrow. If I ever miss 2 days in a row without being at the post office, I'm sure that they will send me a get well card!! Had a nice chat with Maria this afternoon, then to the kitchen to prep for supper. DH was at the hospital all day today, and is going again tomorrow. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers for DMIL. She had a cat scan today, and both lungs have collected enough fluid that they are inserting 2 chest tubes tomorrow. That poor lady has been through h*** and back. Wish that she could just get a leg up on the situation and start to recover. I really am beginning to wonder if surgery was the right choice. However, I respect her right to choose, but had she known all the complications, I don't know that she would have had it. Thanks Babs for your suggestions. DH will be meeting with the Dr tomorrow, and will ask about the lorizipam.

Well,they are predicting snow tonight and tomorrow. So if the weather isn't too bad will be out tomorrow running errands, and HOPEFULLY home to tackle some more paper work. And I still haven't started on our taxes.

I would just love one whole day, where I could do something for me. WHINE, WHINE. We are going out to eat Sunday afternoon, thanks to a Mystery Diner assignment. This will probably be a "valentine celebration" as everything is so whacko at the moment, don't think we can squeeze anything else in.

Mr. B has gone on a date "3 days" in a row, and today was his first day that his services weren't needed. He was sort of whinny all day, just couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, in, or out, play or rest, chase the cat, or leave her alone etc. I seriously think that he is having withdrawals!! LOL. DH said tonight that when the owner of the female comes to the door from now on, he will want to "take a ride" with him. We know this person, and he visits frequently, wonder how we are gonna convince Mr. B. that he can't go with him for awhile. LOL

Well, I am going to go check some other forums before heading off to bed. I may be back, but if not, sweet dreams to all.

Only can stay for a short time so this is going to be quick.

OZ, yes you had it correct. He was fined for being in contempt in this session and had a total of 7 contempt charges since this all began. He has the mentally that he can buy his way out everything which is why I supported him attending an anger management class over a large monitary amount. The apology will hurt him more and hopefully have a larger impact. He is in his early 60's and close to retirement and will need the money. I am sure that he has planned for this but I I have to be able to look at my reflection in the mirror each morning and need to see someone I like. My DH calls this my best and worst feature.

9KM, I am glad that you are healing so quickly and I will continue to wish for it to remain that way. I know you will feel better with being closer to DD even if you dont or cant do much. I am positive she will feel better having you there also. So glad that the kitty is not seriously ill. As for the lack of brains with the letter I think we should hold a mass beating with the 2X4's. I had a secretary a few years back that would have fit in perfect there. She drove me crazy...

Woodspirit, just put us all down for your references and I am sure you will have the job. I would say that all of the larger book stores here have a Starbuck's or similar inside. Several of our libraries have small cafe built on and they are a big hit.

Sheila, are you positive that all those things were the little angels fault????? LOL. PITA is the little terrorist at times also. He can wipe out my entire dresser with the site of one fly. Oh and just for advice dont allow a cat in a room with glitter!!!!!! PITA's sparkling personality is still showing up everywhere almost 4 months later.

DMC, saw the new pics. It is looking great and I love the new wall paper.

Dcat, I hope Moms recovery continues for the good.....I second the Lorazapam. Both parents took that with lung diseases and neither complained that it effected them negatively. Mom was easier to deal with after beginning to take it and Dad had fewer anxiety attacks.

Mary, my mom was like that with her housework. Oh and we all did our best to assure that the schedule did not get interrupted. She didn't handle change well when it came to that. I just clean where and what is needed although I have noticed that a majority of the time most of the chores seem to need tending on the same day of the week.

GG, thanks for taking care of the postings. My days are so full I dont think I could remember. But if I see its not up before I go to bed I will try to do it.

Maria, I am moving in. The recipe was exact. I was in tears after taking the first bite. Thanks for the memory.

Hi to Elaine, Darius, Molly, McCool, tgif, sarv, sassy and Babs. I think I got everyone. Hope all have a great evening and a warm, bright and beautiful day tomorrow.

Casey
