    Party!!!

  • WOP thanks for the party help.  The menu is done.  I'm excited to have something checked off the list, and it makes me feel relieved to know it's written down and I don't have to worry about it anymore.  :)

    Hamburgers and hot dogs.*  Smile  Buffalo chicken dip, cheesy chili dip, veggie pizza, fruit kababs and possibly pasta salad for sides/appetizers, and then cupcakes for dessert.  Pop, juice and bottles of water for drinks.

    H can get hamburger patties, hamburger buns, and hotdog buns from work for free.  :)

  • Well Des&Mol it looks like it's just you and me today.  I think this board has become "uncool" for a lot of people and they don't visit anymore.

  • I'm here and that menu made me hungry!
  • I'm bouncing around in here today. I'm working the claim process to get my car fixed from Monday's accident, while learning small business accounting and trying to show some sort of income for DH.

    Boo to them.

  • Just checking in quick before I head into work....I miss being able to nest during the day, stupid firewalls on my work computer. Del & Mol ,the party sounds like it will be a hit!
  • I'm here for a minute while my lunch heats up  - D&M, the party menu sounds great!!
  • I'm here, finally.

    Both girls had their immunizations today. So we were up bright and early. I left the house way earlier than planned, not thinking. So we went and sat at the Grand Haven City Beach and watched the waves for a bit. Then, we went and she played at the mall play area after I swung by Yankee Candle to exchange a candle that didn't smell once I lit it.

    Thank God the election is over. And my mail box will be back to the normal amount of mail, and not 6 or 7 (totally not exaggerating) election propoganda cards filling it up.

    That menu sounds great! I love planning parties. I need to start planning one soon. My 2yo will be 3 in a few months.

    I check in from time to time.  I go back to work in a few weeks, so I'll be more active again.  It's kind of hard to get online some days!  I've been thinking of you all!

    I'm here every day! I just don't chime in to Randoms much b/c I feel like if you don't post within the first 3-5 posts/topics, you're late to the game and out of the loop. :/

     

  • I'm here. Just been real busy the last few days at wk. Been trying to find a part time job after work so I have been dropping off apps. Does it normally slow down for holidays here?

    Even so, like you and Wop on this one, it feels like a private convo by the time I check in. I still peek, but feel kinda rude blabbing my way in. :)

    You totally shouldn't feel rude!  The only reason it feels like a private convo is because there was no one else in here adding to the conversation.  People shouldn't feel like they need to comment on every post either, just....start 'talking'.  I think that's why it's called randoms, because not every post needs it's own thread.   KWIM?  I try to start seperate subjects so that they're not lost in the randoms- like the one above Smile

  • I just turned away the Orkin man when he showed up **unannounced** for the second time in a row. Actually, it was a different man from last time, which was a different man from the previous two years. Supposedly our guy just up and retired one day.

    So I said no, he could not come in because 1) he didn't call to tell me when he (or WHO) would be there, 2) my son is napping, and 3) I pay too much to that company for them to not even afford me the courtesy of a "What time is good for you?" call the night before.

    You would think they would get the hint and make a  note on your account.  I would have turned him away too.

    The only reason I let the last guy in was because my mom was here and DS wasn't napping yet. Otherwise I would've thought he was a scammer and turned him away as well. I'm going to call them tomorrow if I don't hear from them--this guy said they'd call tomorrow about servicing next week. Ugh.

    I'm trying!

    Really with my new job, I don't have internet access/the time to hop on most days from 8:30-6 or later. Sad Hope everyone is doing well though!

  • I usually lurk at least once a day to check in. But my job has me a lot busier lately and I can't get on TN from work computers due to being spied on. I now post exclusively on my iPhone during the day, which is kind of a PITA so I usually only post if I really want to say something.

    Miss you guys!

    I'm here too - I had some training the past few days.  I think between a lot of us being busier at work there is also a baby board that pry took some posters too.  Oh well - it's good to see some of you checking in!

    Well that's pure speculation on my part - I don't actually have any idea how active that board is or anything.

    But since you have spawn, you qualify and could pry get access.

  • PS - Andy is at a very important work meeting right now and the results could mean big changes for us.  It started at 4 and I've had nervous belly every since.  I'll be less cryptic about the changes when we know for sure. ;-)
