Re: Say say say- Anything

  • imageWeezers:

    I was at the drive-thru the other day and I handed the kid the wrong card to pay. I grabbed my parking garage thing instead of my credit card. I realized what I was doing and said "Oops, that's the wrong one, here's the card." He laughed and said "That's ok ma'am." Then he swiped it, gave it back and said "My mom does that all the time."

    Now I feel old.

    Nice.  You should ask O'Dear about such shenanigans.  Only she tries to use her FSA card...for wine.

     

  • DH is OOT and I'm about to run a hot bath, grab a drink and read my book.  I am always the one to travel...I am ready to soak this up.  Especially after I almost blinded myself cleaning the damn tub.
  • I took a spectacular spill on the concrete this morning during boot camp, yielding a pair of raspberries on my elbow, and pain in my shoulder when lifting my arm above my head.  Nonetheless, I wish I had a video of me eating pavement because I have no doubt my grace was rather laughable.

  • Harmony... I wanna know why your eyes are rolling.. :-)
  • i think i'm signing a lease on a second office tomorrow (so i will have a consultation space closer to my house, and can do senior portraits and baby/kid stuff out here and still have print consultations without my locals having to drive into town).  this will either be a brilliant move, or a crazy dumb idea... but i'm hoping for BRILLIANT MOVE!!!
  • Jax... You are getting soooooooooo big! Go you!!! :-). How's Fred?
  • lol... it's not so much "big" as it is... versatile : )  but it's exciting!  i need to find someone to do sales for me.  i supersuck at that aspect of things.

    it will also be nice to have a place close to home where i can pack up and head to if i get antsy here with the animals bugging me.

    freddy is good.  he isn't seeming to bother his stitches, so i took the cone off of him.  it was making his ears flop down and that was not seeming comfy!  he's eating like a champ and seems happy.  and by happy, i mean... asleep.

  • If you have a spare good thought/prayer, my dad could use it. He's having surgery this morning. He went into the hospital a few days ago and they found a huge bloodclot in his leg and they think he's finally stable enough for surgery today. They told us he had a 20% chance of surviving the clot/surgery/recovery but I think he's doing better than the average 20 percenter.

  • Duchess - Prayers for your Dad sent!

    Jax - Very cool on more office space!  When I was in HS, our senior pictures were contracted out to a local photog.  He did the yearbook shots.  I don't remember if there was a sitting fee or if we just hoped all the kids did them or if the school paid him a fee or what.

    IMFun - I must not have ever told you about my co-worker.  She makes my eyes roll down the hall...daily.  Is is almost 9 and she isn't here yet.  For real.  A couple weeks ago we had a company luncheon/town hall meeting.  The company brought in pizza and salad and our CEO spoke.  She asked the CEO's admin to please order a salad without cheese since she doesn't like cheese.  For real.  P responded with something like "I'll do that just like I'll comply with the request for elk and deer meat pizza."  Co-irker said "Really?  Thanks!"

  • I really need to snap out of it.  There is nothing I can do but deal.  DH is a saint though, because I've been a real peach the last 24 hours.  Starting now, I will try to refrain from being snarky and mean.

    I may throw my husband out of the house tonight. Or punch him.

  • Duchess you all are in my prayers.

    FutureMrsJW you have every right to feel the way you do.  Don't put your feelings on the back burner for others.  You can take your snark out on me if you want to :-)

    Yay Jax!!!  I love the idea of having somewhere near you.

    Please tell me not to feel guilty if I don't have a birthday party for C this year.  Things are just not coming together and I don't think I can plan one more thing right now. 

    On a lighter note a darn mosquito got into the car yesterday afternoon as I ran out to the store.  Must have been hanging out near the garage in the bushes.  I was delighted to see it crispy on the dash board when I got back to the car.  I laughed really hard.

    C will never remember it.

    Tori did not get a party last year because she broke her collar bone the week before her planned party at the bouncy place.  She doesn't remember that she didn't get one and I'm almost positive she won't need therapy about it.

  • duchess....  many many prayers!!!!!

     JW... you have a right to be snarky.  

    Harmony...  I now understand.....

    almond...  you have a lot on your plate...  he wont remember!

    connor didn't have a b-day party this year and he might remember it, but hopefully he won't turn into a psychopath.  i feel a little guilty, but also... you tell me "i don't care" enough, and i'm going to call you on it.  fine.  don't care.  we always hav a family cake/dinner party, so he got that at least.

     

     

    HELP ME understand.

     

    "horrible" and "terrible" are kind of the same thing.

    "horrified" and "terrified" are kind of the same thing.

     Why are "horrific" and "terrific" so NOT the same thing?

     

    our language is funny.

  • I accepted a great new job yesterday and quit my other one today.  As I figured they would, they walked me out the door a few hours later.

    I'll be working from home!  Yes, it did all work out.  DH already said "I told you so."

     Me=relieved.

    My mom said this was my wake up call from God to say that it is in his hands, not mine.
