Laurel still is.” 1:17:33 PM 12/17/07 “She's too young to know the difference. Wait until next year!” 3:02:04 PM 12/17/07 “That Santa looks like he's been drinking some serious Ripple.” 3:20:11 PM 12/17/07 “Satan Claus wears the hat to cover his horns. (mooo-ha-ha)” 5:31:14 PM 12/17/07 “Good morning! temps in the 20's, which beat sub-zero... Had a blood pull to check on the ole thyroid and found I needed to up my medication...this may explain the underlying fatigue I've been living with these last couple of months...one can only hope... I am doing a piss-poor job of eating...swallowing has been such a drag...half the time it won't go down and I choke and cough...it really puts the damper on what little appetite I have...whine whine whine... Are you all ready for some Christmas? The snow on the ground has made it seem more real this year...I like that...don't let the past steal your present...” 3:25:43 AM 12/18/07 “don't let the past steal your present... Mataharihiker Those are some great words of wisdom. I tend to cling to the past presents, longing for the 'good old days.' I hope your meds help and you are feeling better soon! It is a nice 27 here...Duffy didn't stay out long to go potty this morning...no snooping! Hope eveyone has a great day! Hugs to all OH...SG Evie is BEAUTIFUL!!!” 4:09:03 AM 12/18/07 “Good morning! Today Ab goes back to school. She's dancing around right now. We're going to the theatre w/ her class. Some fairy tale is the play. Later I get to go and get a new measles Mumps and Rubela shot. Apparently mine hasn't done much for me all these years and they won't let me work at the hospital until I get a new one. Not looking forward top the sore hip or shoulder. You guys have a wonderful day!” 4:32:50 AM 12/18/07 “Good morning. I slept better last night, thank God. I unexpectedly worked yesterday. A builder friend of mine needed help on doing the finish work in a cabin. My lack of carpentry skills are legendary, but he called me anyway:) Looks like I'll be back there today. More Christmas money! The key word for Holiday survival is expectations. Keep 'em low. It's the Christmas you carry in your heart every day that's most important.” 4:57:53 AM 12/18/07 Hugs. “Good morning. It's still winter here in Florida. It will climb to 67 today. Tomorrow will be better. Enjoy your day.” 5:04:41 AM 12/18/07 “Morning. I'm exhausted. I slept 6 hours in three blocks. I want to know what happened to my good sleeping child??? If I have enough energy, I need to go run errands today. We have no milk, eggs, or granola bars, which keep me functioning. Cold here, but gonna warm up to 34 they say. I'm waiting for the sunshine to peek through. Enjoy your day.” 5:07:22 AM 12/18/07 “How old is the little rascal?” 5:09:24 AM 12/18/07 “ don't let the past steal your present...Sometimes you can't prevent it from happening. My ex- is here visiting for 1-2 months.” 5:19:20 AM 12/18/07 “3.5 months, MarkO.” 5:23:37 AM 12/18/07 “morning, funny, the sun was shining really nicely, all of a sudden it's gone and there are clouds everywhere........hmmmm, better get my coffee and have a looky..........” 6:13:29 AM 12/18/07 “Haha, she even has a Christmas outfit on! Cute pic, smiley.” 6:17:10 AM 12/18/07 “Hmmmmm, she looks like she holler pretty good, Smiley.” 6:21:10 AM 12/18/07 “your right, looks like Santa's been into the peppermint schnapps...............” 6:27:32 AM 12/18/07 “Mornin'” 6:28:12 AM 12/18/07 “time to shower and get outside...........or go to the office.........or both..........i'll pull my desk out into the yard.........” 6:30:13 AM 12/18/07 “I slept in till SIX this morning! YAY!” 6:32:35 AM 12/18/07 “You'll get a kick out of this.... Was just talking to someone on the phone who said they didn't want to go out because it was So Cold outside. It's Fifty Degrees out there! Such is life in east central Georgia.” 10:18:12 AM 12/18/07 “I forgot to mention how adorable you little one is, smiley girl... 24F and probably cloudy...too dark to tell without going out :p Left work early yesterday...suddenly got the whirlies and the shakes plus felt really cold...got home, did my best to slam some food down and hit the bed at 5:30....slept really well until 4am...since I know my doc is uping the antee on my thyroid meds the next time I fill my prescription I think I'll just begin boosting the dosage with what I have here...it's easy enough to cut a pill in half which would give me the same dosage she wants me to take... I think the problem was lack of calories...every day 3 or 4 people bring in treats the week before Christmas and folks want to sit and be sociable. I cannot eat and talk so therefor, I don't eat. I'll have to come up with another way to handle things... For the first time in 20 years I had a beautiful flower arrangement delivered to me at work...It was very Christmasy...the vase was a big, red, ceramic boot with a ceramic fur fringe...the flowers were red and white with lots of greenery...very beautiful...one of the women at work sent it to me, "just because"...she said I'd been through a lot and she just wanted to do it...isn't that amazing! Just because! I'm glad I feel better today because today it's my turn to bring treats...I'm doing Lil Smokies in barbeque sauce...you know the old one using grape jelly and chili sauce...very trad but very good... Happy hump day!” 3:17:13 AM 12/19/07 “Mata...I'm sorry you are feeling better but how awesome about the flowers. That is the things that remind us about the true spirit of Christmas. I started getting the sniffy nose and funky throat.... :-( Maybe I can chase it away with Vitamin C and Echonasia tea! The odds were against me with all the crap at work! Hope everyone has a gret day!” 4:03:03 AM 12/19/07 “I think guys, especially me, forgot how powerful flowers are. Glad you got them mata. I was in Syracuse, NY yesterday. There was about a foot of snow on the ground. I've never seen a foot of snow in person. It was pretty cool. The guy at the car rental turn in area said they'd gotten about 30" since last Friday. I told him that it hasn't snowed 30" cumulative in my lifetime in B'ham.” 4:27:02 AM 12/19/07 “I'm up. Just like I was at 3AM, and 4:45AM, and 6:45AM. But I'm not bitter or cranky. :( My MIL is not speaking to her son, cause she's angry she won't see him on Christmas Day. Nevermind he has his own family now, that we'll see her twice over the holidays, and the fact that I haven't spent a Christmas with my own family since I met G (not that we're going to this year either...). This should make for a really warm and happy Christmas. I'm so looking forward to it. I hope my day gets better from here.” 4:28:52 AM 12/19/07 An easy Carolina morning “ahhhh....off work today...kicking back drinking a little hazelnut coffee...52 degree for a high today in Eastern NC. Leisurely wrap one last present and watch the day evolve slowly.” 5:02:03 AM 12/19/07 “Somewhere in this house is an excaped snake...... What a great way to start the morning! last edited: 12/19/07 5:04:57 AM” 5:04:57 AM 12/19/07 “oh damn...LMAO. I'm sooooo glad I'm NOT at your house!!” 5:07:23 AM 12/19/07 “oh don't worry, ball pythons are gentle as a #&%!$cat.I do hope I find him soon!” 5:19:45 AM 12/19/07 “how big exactly is a ball python?” 5:21:15 AM 12/19/07 “its 4 feet, full grown. too bad its not one of the red tail boas...they are so much easier to find at 14 feet. last edited: 12/19/07 5:29:46 AM” 5:29:12 AM 12/19/07 Hugs. “Good morning.” 5:34:39 AM 12/19/07 “Good googly moogly SC. That gives me the heebies just thinking about it. :-/ yikes taaaa daaa...Merry Christmas tt'ers just finished tying the bow for my final 2007 present. WHOO HOOO  ”5:37:50 AM 12/19/07 “Nice bow! My presents are all wrapped but I have to get everything lined up for Christmas Eve and morning and dinner by Friday as we're going North for the weekend. Also have to make toffee and peanut brittle and one more recipe of spiced nuts, and deliver goodies Friday. Sheesh! Oh, and make a doll nighty tonight. ACK! This is why no one is getting a Christmas card this year. =)” 5:47:49 AM 12/19/07 “just for the love of the neighborhood..DON"T FORGET TO FIND THAT SNAKE! (thats going to worry me all day)” 5:49:10 AM 12/19/07 “GNM.....that is one fantascit bow. Mind are all made out of curly ribbon...!” 5:50:36 AM 12/19/07 “No gifts to wrap this year. Had to pay that damn $500 deductible on the car :) But thats ok, we don't need any more stuff! :)” 5:53:21 AM 12/19/07 “I wonder if that snake is in the christmas tree?” 5:54:23 AM 12/19/07 “You and G put your foot down now Smiley, and do what you want...I remember trying to please 4 sets of parents when my son was young. My mother has this stranglehold over all of us to come to her house for christmas eve and day...I finally started getting out of it because the kids were in choir and sang christmas eve...no choir this year, but the kids opted for a home christmas - yay! There is an infinite number of things I can do wrong over the holidays, and I'd rather just hide out in my own home and enjoy myself.” 5:55:39 AM 12/19/07 “snake in a tree? DON'T EAT THE APPLE SPIRIT COYOTE! ;D” 6:01:07 AM 12/19/07 “morning all, catch that snake, SC...... It's foggy as shlt here and cant see 50 yards...also 39 outside........no sunrise today....but going to the trail to walk a bit...” 6:09:48 AM 12/19/07 “man, a loose hamster or gerbil is one thing, but a snake? How do you catch it? I was thinking of getting a rat, but then a friend of mine had one...it got loose and one morning she woke up and it was sitting their looking at her...too creepy for me! So we got another hamster. :)” 6:13:33 AM 12/19/07 “GNM.....that is one fantascit bow. Mind are all made out of curly ribbon...! crazygurl Thanks...had to work my way thru college at a florist. Once ya learn how to tie 'em you never go back. :D” 6:14:29 AM 12/19/07 “snakes are good for catching rodents. Rain/snow changing to chance of snow today. Is it really only Wed?” 6:16:01 AM 12/19/07 “Found him. He was curled up in a corner behind an end table. :)” 7:06:18 AM 12/19/07 “Thank Goodness!!!!” 7:36:09 AM 12/19/07 “He's prolly out lookin for a girl. its the time of year that they breed.” 7:40:23 AM 12/19/07 “Good Morning from sunny Lower Alabama!!!! temps in the 50's today...but feels warmer with the sun and the fact t hat we had a hard freeze already the other eve... ...so what have I missed?????” 7:59:00 AM 12/19/07 “Good god, SC! If I were you, I'd exterminate that thing promptly. Actually that's a lie, I'd just scream a lot and prolly die of a heart attack before I could get close enough.” 8:00:21 AM 12/19/07 “I'd be delighted to find a ball python in the house. HPM would have a coronary and think I snuck it in or something. Must kill, In-laws drove me insane...” 10:32:24 AM 12/19/07 Jump to Page << prev
