Tuesday
Did you see last night's Northern Lights?

Re: Tuesday
Nope, didn't even know about 'em.
Our water is shut off all day for the city to work on the main. Of course this couldn't be a daycare day for C!
I just hope it's back on in time for me to shower after my run tonight.

Me neither, Kasa. Jim and I were watching Bridesmaids. Um... I didn't know Bridesmaids was anything but funny. I think I felt sad more than I laughed.
Andy and I watched Bridesmaids on Sunday and laughed quite a bit.
I didn't get to see the Northern Lights, and had no idea they'd be visible here. :-( It's on my Things to See Before I Die List.
We didn't see the lights either. DH went outside to see if he could see them but came back in disappointed.
I got an IKEA catalog in the mail yesterday. I want to go to there.
For the WestSider's here. Sobie Meats opened in their new location today and will be offering more produce now. I stopped in this AM and picked up some boneless pork chops for a recipe I'll be making tonight.
I watched it with several girl friends and laughed, but wondered why the bride didn't call the skinny blond out way before she ruined *every* event.

We are doing a annual fund campaign for work. Letters were sent to our current members and those that expired. I got a letter in my work mail box saying "We missed you on the orginial mailing list because your membership expired."
Well...sucks to be you because last Thursday I spent $110 on Allison's dentist appt, $125 on Mia's well-child visit; I also spent $80 on brakes this weekend and found out my struts are bad and caused my one-year old tires to be completely shot, so I either need to get new struts, new tires to get me through spring, or go ahead and get a new car. I also have to pay for flu shots next week for the girls and I, so that will be another $90. I don't forsee a membership and donation in my budget anytime soon.
Oh yeah..I have received a $0.25 raised since 2006.
Yeah, it was a funny movie. I think I identified a little too much. My life was falling apart for a bit when my best friend was getting married too.
Willa tells me that her school friend named Harmony has a sister. Her sister's name is Har-moan-y. I don't know how it's spelled, that's just how they say it. So, now I can't figure out if Willa's playing a joke on me, if Harmony is playing a joke on her, or if the girls have very terrible naming abilities.
I had no idea about the northern lights until this morning either. Boo!
Bridesmaids was funny, but not as funny as I'd hoped.
You aren't automatically a member because you work there??
Because it was a movie and that wouldn't have been as funny? ;-)
I thought Bridesmaid's was great. Definitely made me laugh.
I didnt even know about them and I was busy visiting my neighbor and her father from Germany.
I like the new pic
I defintely know how you feel. It never end.....
hmm...I deleted my one post and deleted it's children... I didn't realize some of the other posts were children. i think i may have accidently deleted more messages than i meant to. Sorry if I deleted yours.
Thanks Chymes. If TH was at his old company and it was doing good, I would move on, however I just don't feel comfortable leaving the stability of this job behind and PTO because it is hard for TH to take time off when the kids are sick.
I had no idea that you were staying because of stability sake. I'm sorry that's the case. I know how that is.
So, now that "my child" has been deleted by gvsu... another issue: I was supposed to meet with this person 2 weeks ago, but she called me sick, and then never called me to reschedule (like I asked her to, as in "when you're feeling better, lets reschedule"), and I kind of got some attitude. Meeting is in 30 minutes. Not looking forward to it.
Kasa, I'm sorry you know where I'm at, and have a similar (longer lasting) experience.
I totally understand. But your frustrations combined with your insane commute...ugh. I think you have more patience than I do.
Further NZ research has found that I will not be a homeless hippie in a van (down by the river). Our CC doesn't cover insurance on the campervans (only on car rentals) so the additional cost of the insurance made it a more costly option that staying at hotels/motels/B&B's and car camping.
We did just book an overnight cruise through the fjordlands and I'm SUPER excited for that. :-)
Agreed. Not that gvsu has more patience with you, Chymes. More than me.
That trip is going to be so awesome!
Don't get me wrong...I like 90% of my job and most of my CW, however the extra factors limit my willingess to move on.
Got it, GVSU. I hope the 10% doesn't come up any more this week.
I'm back from my volunteer meeting. Air has been cleared, I think the future will be better.
