What's for dinner and what time? BTW, Happy Easter.” 7:39:43 PM 4/09/04 “Hey, that reminds me... I gotta get some chocolate bunnies tomorrow to bite the heads off.” 7:53:21 PM 4/09/04 “Do you dip the bunnies in chocolate before or after you bite their heads off?” 7:55:53 PM 4/09/04 “Snake Eyes, it looks to be either weiners or pork chops, lol. Had the first round of Coney dogs tonight. E-mail me at the address in my profile and maybe something will work out.” 10:07:33 PM 4/09/04 “Before. They're, uh.... 'pre-dipped'.” 12:02:45 AM 4/10/04 “Good morning. I've fresh bread in the oven and a house to clean. Company's coming for dinner. Yesterday all I managed to do was put away all the hiking gear that was on the living room floor. Good news is that it was there so long I won't have to vacuum that area. Everyone have a great day and a Happy Easter.” 7:12:09 AM 4/10/04 “I've been up for a couple hours and everyone else in the houseis still asleep. I'm going to go take a nice long walk.” 7:14:18 AM 4/10/04 “Mornin' all. Late night last night and the birds woke me up because they wanted to be fed. I hated them very much this morning.” 7:18:42 AM 4/10/04 “We have a dog and a daughter who do the same thing. It's just cruel isn't it?! Our dog stomps her feet and sighs (real loud) over and over until she sees an eye open, then she tears @ss to her food dish and runs back and forth between our bedroom and her dish (nails clicking on hardwood and lino the whole time)until someone gets up and feeds her. She thinks she should be fed by 5:30am everyday. The daughter's much more polite about it.” 8:02:23 AM 4/10/04 “LMAO, Sass!” 8:03:01 AM 4/10/04 “thats funny Sass, dogs can be very impatient.” 8:44:52 AM 4/10/04 “We have the same situation, almost, Sass. The time is 6 (the usual workday alarm time), the kid is replaced by a cat, who likes to stand on my chest and meow loudly while the dog paces back and forth and sighs/snorts then gives a lick to any hand or elbow protruding from the covers. The choice is let her jump up and join us in bed or get up, let her out for a bit, and then feed her and the cat. Today it was Reino's turn to answer the call of the wild, so when I came downstairs just now, the coffee was made. Mmmm. Snake Eyes, have a fun party. Old H.S. chums can make for an interesting evening (or not, lol). Funny how we all change over the years. I've had more fun sometimes at HS reunions with folks I barely knew back then, but are interesting folks now.” 8:47:20 AM 4/10/04 “Good morning.” 9:54:28 AM 4/10/04 “Good morning all y'all” 10:01:43 AM 4/10/04 “Howdy stranger! I've had the opposite problem the last few days. The weasel has gotten off her schedule somehow and starts raising hell at 2 or 3 in the morning... climbing on tables and knocking things off, chewing on my toes while I'm trying to sleep... The Usual.” 11:38:42 AM 4/10/04 “Okay then, two days of being able to sleep in, today until 9. Of course this also marks two mornings with snow flurries, so it's not exactly a cheery spring day in the North Woods. My crocuses (croci?) that have dared to show themselves this past week are probably regretting their decision.” 10:34:10 AM 4/11/04 “soooooo, get up already! coffee's always better on that first early day of the week.” 5:40:04 AM 4/12/04 “what?? it's spring vacation. Kids are at grandmas. I don't have to get up. At least not yet!!!!” 6:14:23 AM 4/12/04 “aw man, my spriing break was two weeks ago. and the kids stayed here! But I'm going camping this comeing weekend :P” 6:20:58 AM 4/12/04 “Good monday morning! We survived the weekend, and Laurel's got more of those pesky teeth coming in so its the usual round of fever and runny nose for the next few days. Poor little thing. The only thing that makes her feel better is playing with Grandpa!” 7:09:54 AM 4/12/04 “mornin'” 7:44:48 AM 4/12/04 “Where'd the weekend go?! It happened too fast. This week is our district's spring break. Normally I would switch to a dayshift just because I can, but alas, daycare for Ab is too much $ so I'm still stuck on afternoons. Knowing that I could be working days and eatting dinner w/ my family and not doing it is hard. I hate afternoon shift.” 7:48:00 AM 4/12/04 “good morning tters” 7:56:26 AM 4/12/04 up and running~~~~ “this day is being brought to you by the creator of the universe! ah, and the chai is to die for today....” 8:02:29 AM 4/12/04 “I can always count on a good forecast from OM!” 8:09:28 AM 4/12/04 “That's a bummer, Sass. Wish I could say something wise right now, but I've got nothing for ya. :( 4 more days until my big test. The stress got the better of me on Saturday. My parents had just arrived at my house after 4 months in Florida, and my mother and I had a big blowout. Its been a long time coming, and I'm glad it happened and got a little of it out on the table. But, its never good to scream at your mother after you hadn't seen her in 4 months. :(” 8:26:46 AM 4/12/04 “I am sooo up. I had way to much coffee! zippppppppppy” 8:28:02 AM 4/12/04 “SG, That blowup has probably been needed for years. Don't feel too guilty, mothers love it when daughters feel guilty!” 11:23:36 AM 4/12/04 “Good morning everyone! We finally had some decent rain and a good storm here last night. First time we've had a real rain since February. Yay!” 7:45:31 AM 4/13/04 “Woke up last night to rain and sleet. We're supposed to get somewhere around 3" of rain in the next couple of days. The ground is already "unusually moist" according to the U.S. Soil Moisture Map from The Weather channel. The good news is that this will wipe out any chance of a drought for us, at least for the first part of the summer. The plants that are just beginning to show from under the soil are going to love this!” 8:05:39 AM 4/13/04 “we've been in rain for two days now. they were predicting a week straight, but it now looks clear after today.” 8:20:27 AM 4/13/04 “Send some of that rain this way. Dry and predicted to be dry through the Summer. Please don't send it tonight, temps are supposed to drop into the 20's. And they call THIS Spring?” 8:26:44 AM 4/13/04 “Morning & hugs to all......... another day....but only 3 to go.... I hope everyone has a great day today..... Tell someone today that you love them.... Woooo Hooo...going to dinner with some friends and have a few drinks......so I won't be available to post....cause we know you shouldn't drink & post!!!” 4:40:25 AM 4/14/04 “Good morning everyone. An hour til daylight and already 41 degrees. Should be a great day. Divinity - I noticed over on the "Income Tax Sux" thread that Pennsey used the phrase "WoooHooo". Seems to me that you should have sole rights to use of that phrase. Maybe you should post over there and advise him that he should cease and desist. Might be some money in it for you (not that I'm trying to stir anything up, mind you).” 6:01:57 AM 4/14/04 “it's good to be Wednesday......... especially since I have Friday off!” 6:10:06 AM 4/14/04 “Get up... ...and empty yer bowels.” 6:11:37 AM 4/14/04 “Good morning you all. Supposed to be a mild day here in northern Illinois. Coffee is good.” 6:19:58 AM 4/14/04 “Morning all. In early at school (actually the first one on campus) to finish grading some papers. As I walked from my truck to my building, I was greeted by loon calls, duck quacks, woodpecker drumming, and assorted warbles and whistles from the woodland birds. A nice North Woods start to a busy day. Have a good one, everybody!” 6:36:52 AM 4/14/04 “What a great moment, pekka. I love those gifts. We are all finally back at home, after living in exile since Saturday. The sink is not in yet, but just having the flusher in is just fine right now. The tile on the floor looks great, tho. Been busy packing up fer this weekends hike. It's odd to see the walls in my gear space again. I'm hoping for a break in the weather.” 7:14:13 AM 4/14/04 7:30:25 AM 4/14/04 “Good morning all! I didn't get Laurel up yet, but she's still spotted. Remember on Star Trek, any series, that the only difference between humans and some aliens was spots on their skin, or a little bump on the nose? That's what Laurel's roseola reminds me of.” 7:37:08 AM 4/14/04 “No kidding! The long range weekend forcast looks a lot better than it did earlier in the week.” 7:38:48 AM 4/14/04 “laqtis, it is moments like that that remind me what's special about living up here, though they are too often overshadowed by the day-to-day b.s. Heard the first loon of the year a couple mornings ago. Our house is only two blocks from Boom Lake, an impoundment on the Wisconsin River, so we get it all -- eagles, loons, etc., in the neighborhood. But the loons must be a bit frustrated since the ice is still on local lakes, so they are left to mark time on the open river for a few more days.” 7:40:09 AM 4/14/04 “{yawn} good morning” 5:30:02 AM 4/15/04 “(yawn back at ya) I feel the same way. Coffee better kick in right away or I'm back to the sack.” 5:33:31 AM 4/15/04 “Windy here today, but fairly warm...in the lower 40's. I think the sun might actually come out today.” 5:37:22 AM 4/15/04 “Hey, hey, we're headed into the 60s today, with rain this evening. Spring, spring, spring, spring. The ice on the lakes looks ready to go any minute. Good luck with the coffee, Snake Eyes.” 7:03:07 AM 4/15/04 “Good morning. Coffee is brewed. Taxes are done and mailed. Illinois weather is cooperating with sunny skies, high around 72. That should put me on the bike for about two hours this afternoon.” 7:36:41 AM 4/15/04 “I'm finally posting this morning. Laurel and I got to sleep in, yippee! Now I have to run around and figure out a dish to make for a Scouting Court of Honor (44 boys and their families) tonight. Fun!” 9:29:15 AM 4/15/04 “What? No "Cat-box Cake"? LOL” 9:37:36 AM 4/15/04 Jump to Page << prev
