Sassafras 6:31:59 AM 3/14/08 naaaaa....” 4:35:57 AM 3/14/08 “Well, enjoy your extra day off. Whatcha going to to do?” 4:50:19 AM 3/14/08 “lol.....sit here until someone with a car comes to get me...lol.....Lee gets off work @ 10:30am....maybe he'll come get me....his momma is having surgery this am...but if he goes straight to hospital....I guess I'll just sit here..lol....that thread about the email scams is quite entertaining!!!!” 5:08:58 AM 3/14/08 “I have to get HPM's and Laurel's suitcases packed up for their weekend jaunt to Florida this afternoon. The day started wit ha bang; my neighbor Sharis and I alternate picking and dropping off kids at school. This morning she came over early in a total panic because one or both of her dogs got into the medication drawer, opened a bottle of thyroid pills and ate 118 doses of the stuff. She's at the emergency vet now, and I took the kids to school. I hope the dogs are okay. Her 1 year old great dane looked decidedly guilty this morning as he was led out to the car. This is the same dog who tried to eat light bulbs on 2 separate occasions. I guess he didn't like being so dim.” 5:31:50 AM 3/14/08 “LOL treebait! hope the dog is OK. I'm on day 2 of teaching while having the flu. I actually dread taking care of a baby by myself this evening more than spending the day with 8th graders. I hope it all goes by fast. Evie was on her hands and knees yesterday rocking back and forth. Time to babyproof the house! Here's to a relaxing weekend. One can hope, right?” 6:06:49 AM 3/14/08 “One can. I hope you feel better tonight Smiley. Wish I was close enough to come and have some fun with Evie while you rest.” 6:27:23 AM 3/14/08 “i talked with Ashley on the phone yesterday, if the baby is a little boy, they are going to name him William Christopher Michael, continueing the tradition of two middle names that i began. William is my Daddy's name. i nearly cried. apparently she decided she liked the name William and when she mentioned it to Chris he told her it was my Daddy's name. He told her that I would like it very much. I do. Now there will be another William Renz. I am soooo happy; I wish my Daddy were here!” 8:31:05 AM 3/14/08 “Argh, there's storms coming in today, and I still have to get together stuff for a koi meeting out at Lotus Land koi farms today. I've changed my mind about what food to bring to the potluck (it was cheese grits with ham-even non grits eaters liked it) so its just a fresh fruit salad with maple syrup, lime juice and cinnamon. I'm packing my rain suit, too.” 6:12:37 AM 3/15/08 Good Morning All “Worked for 11 hours in the yard yesterday. Pulled out Azalea bushes, cut the stumps out, pulled out lots of clumpy grass stuff, my wife worked on getting the flower beds ready to plant, hauled rocks for border of the flower beds, weed eated and mowed the back yard....really sore and tired last night so we went out to eat...and practically fell asleep at the table, so home and in bed at 9:00pm.... Now for coffee and walk around the back yard..to plan.....” 4:46:17 AM 3/16/08 “Enjoy it Chappy. Tomorrow's when the real pain from all of your yard work kicks in. I hate that 2 day rule myself. My new koi fish is swimming around in our bathtub right now. I couldn't get outside to clean and sterilize the bin it will be quarantined in yesterday, due to the rain.” 4:54:35 AM 3/16/08 “Morning. We skipped church today since I'm still feeling crappy. I still had a bit of a fever this morning - day 5 of it. I think I'm finally getting over it, though. Thank goodness. I don't think I could have gone back to school tomorrow feeling like I did. Its snowing here, but I do have some greenery poking through the ground. Spring better get here quick!! Looking at info on Williamsburg, VA. We're going there in August with my entire family. Have a great day.” 8:26:49 AM 3/16/08 “Blooms are starting to pop on the Dogwood out front ---” 10:20:05 AM 3/16/08 “good morning all! i hiked a few miles into poway mtns to go rockclimbing yesterday, the rocks sucked. i think the fire must have changed them somehow. they were very very slick. but the hike was incredibly beautiful! the water was running and sounded so pretty. the wildflower bloom was just tremendous, color everywhere you looked! the hills were so green. it was like eye candy, you just wanted to sit and take it all in. the sun would sometimes peak out from behind the clouds and highlight it all, and the views down into the valley where a translucent fog sat were stunning we had an injury though, young women got bounced too hard on too fast a lowering and sprained her ankle. three of us walked her down the mtn, it took more than thrice the time it should have normally. but we did get her down. she was in fairly good spirits throughout, managing laughter where you knew she wanted to cry. last edited: 3/16/08 10:55:15 AM” 10:58:30 AM 3/16/08 “Sounds like she had a crappy belayer. Too bad, but lucky she didn't get hurt worse.” 12:54:50 PM 3/16/08 “he's never been that before, a moment of inattention i think. everybody is to be stupid now and then, the pity is that someone was hurt because of it. he is a medic and he took good care of her afterwards. definetly though he is feeling guilty.” 2:29:56 PM 3/16/08 “Good morning, looks like a nice day outside today and not too cold. It's supposed to get into the 40's later. I didn't do much hiking over the weekend, but I hope to get out this evening for a short hike. The longer daylight hours are nice.” 4:53:09 AM 3/17/08 “Good Morning!!.... ...a beautiful day yesterday... ...but I got a sore throat.....not sure if I have caught something...or is it the pine pollen... ...$ 150 for a new alternator & the car is still losing power.....so.....I didn't have a ride to work anyways....so my mechanic will have to work on it again today... ...lots of hot tea for me.... ...spent all day Sat @ the hospital...Lee's momma had to have a vein in her leg replaced...they took one from the other leg...( How many do we have in a leg????)she got out of surgery before noon...but didn't get out of recovery until about 4...they had trouble keeping her blood pressure up.... ....our Jasmine is in full bloom...what a WONDERFUL smell!!!...I love spring!!!!” 5:14:47 AM 3/17/08 “I miss the blooming jasmine. Confederate jasmine will grow up here, if I augment the soil. Now I really want to plant some. My neighbor Sharis came over with green hair spray and green hair glitter. Laurel's all colorful and sparkly this morning, just in time for her spring portrait at school. >;D I still have a koi in my bathtub, but I'll move it outside a little alter this morning. I still have to disinfect the bin it'll be residing in for the next couple of months.” 5:37:27 AM 3/17/08 “i died my hair red this morning, temporarely. the kids at school loved it! i wore a green shirt, a green plaid vest and my Irish tweed hat. i'm playing Irish music and singing quite loudly. it's a bitter sweet day.” 3:33:45 PM 3/17/08 “What a week. 3 days of work left, right?? I found out last night at urgent care that I now have strep throat. My tonsils are so swollen that the doc gave me a steroid in addition to the antibiotic. I really haven't eaten much in the last few days because I can't swallow, and have lost 8 lbs in the last 11 days. Good times. Baseball season is just a week old, and I'm already tired of being alone. :(” 4:29:52 PM 3/17/08 “i had strep like that just before my wedding. i went from 100 down to 88lbs. i didn't eat or drink for four days. steve brought me into ER twice.” 5:12:58 PM 3/17/08 “mornin'! we still have a foot or two (or three) of snow on the ground, but the kids got their bikes out last night...time to take the skis back...” 5:35:51 AM 3/18/08 “I am home a second day with the flu :( but I do feel better today...still hoarse & coughin....blahhhhhh!!!! SG...I had strep thoat all the time until after I had my tonsils out....have not had it since!!!!! snow.....wow.....we are having temps in the 70s......a wind advisory today.....cloudy.... ...where is NowSlimmer???..he on a hike somewhere?????” 5:55:02 AM 3/18/08 “Debs and I are still figuring the back yard 'garden' out...the walkway that is. Looks like I'll go with crushed stone since stepping stones or any patterned look is what we're trying to avoid...we also bought some sun faces, about five different ones to go in the garden and on the walls. Keeps threatening rain but none yet. Today: cutting sod out of the yard for the path. Oh what fun!” 5:56:19 AM 3/18/08 “I hope you feel better fast Smiley. I spent eight mind numbing hours listening to HIPA laws, cross contamination stuff and mission statements yesterday. I did get breakfast and a great lunch and a shamrock cookie. The best part of the day was finding about all the cool discounts I can get with my hospital badge. Then I zipped over to HR to turn in all my papers, etc and forgot my SS card. Now I get to drive back (30 miles) today, in the rain. I hate it when I do stuff like that!” 6:03:01 AM 3/18/08 “'relax, have another cookie..."” 6:12:35 AM 3/18/08 “I can't wait to get out in my garden. Enjoy playing in the dirt Chappy. I bet I still have two or three weeks wait, yet. =(” 6:14:53 AM 3/18/08 “Divinity-I think Nowslimmer left after the meltdown last week. It's very cloudy here, but no rain until tomorrow. I don't like the look of the stormline that's approaching. After I get few more things done around here, I need to get more seeds started for my garden.” 7:12:27 AM 3/18/08 “Left TT??? Why would anyone want to leave????” 7:13:30 AM 3/18/08 “Because it regularly gets very ugly around here.” 7:14:28 AM 3/18/08 “I don't pay any attention to that stuff :)” 7:20:31 AM 3/18/08 “I still wish we could block individual threads.” 7:22:45 AM 3/18/08 “lol...I only read the ones I want!!!!” 7:28:40 AM 3/18/08 “there was a meltdown last week? damn it, what'd I miss? I wish I wasn't so busy with drama at home, then I could give a #&%!$ about drama on the internet, LOL...” 7:37:08 AM 3/18/08 “Really windy here today. Suppossed to get to about 55 deg..we will see. I am heading to the store in a little while for apples and a pie crust...gonna make an apple pie. Chili will be home tonight, he has been gone since Friday!!” 7:37:10 AM 3/18/08 “be sure to get some good cheese to go with the pie” 7:59:45 AM 3/18/08 “A friend of mine used to say "apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze".” 8:07:04 AM 3/18/08 “well I will definately get some cheese! Thanks for the idea...” 8:09:08 AM 3/18/08 “Sharp cheddar. Yum!” 10:25:38 AM 3/18/08 “apple pie and cheese - heard of it, but doesn't sound good - and I love cheese on everything!” 10:34:03 AM 3/18/08 “A Selection of Diner Slang ---- Shingle with a Shimmy and a Shake ----- Buttered toast with jam or jelly Drag One through Georgia ----- Coca Cola with Chocolate Syrup Mystery In the Alley ----- A side order of hash Cackle Fruit ----- Eggs Wreck ‘em ----- Scrambled eggs Burn the British ----- Toasted English muffin A Blonde with Sand ----- Coffee with Cream and Sugar Whistleberries ----- Baked Beans Eve with a Lid on ----- Apple Pie, referring to the biblical Eve's tempting of Adam with an apple. The "lid" is the pie crust And what started all this: Eve with a Moldy Lid ----- Apple pie with a slice of cheese ” 10:57:59 AM 3/18/08 “Rachel Ray has her own cooking slang. "Yummo" "delish" "EVVO" "just eyeball it" "how good does that look?"” 11:23:42 AM 3/18/08 Rachel Raye “I can only watch until she says "EVOO" then I have to change the channel - just say the freakin' words already! she does half the time anyway, plus, "EVOO" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue... Actually, I quit watching her altogether because I can't take it...plus, 30 minute meals, my ass...where are the screaming kids, barking dog, and oblivious hubby relaxing in front of the tv with a beer while she's making these meals? In real life, those meals would never get made... LOL...” 11:34:57 AM 3/18/08 “LOL... I've read a lot of people don't like the term EVVO.” 11:42:47 AM 3/18/08 “Apple Pie on the Trail --- One Medium Red Delicious Two 'Oats & Honey' Granola Bars One Chunk of Extra Sharp Cheddar and a pocketknife. ” 11:42:53 AM 3/18/08 “Do you sit on a flag when yah eat it?” 11:59:24 AM 3/18/08 “Pie is on the oven. There is not a single pie pan in this house so I had to use a square baking dish...Hopefully it will turn out ok. I will let you know in about an hour or so....” 12:25:41 PM 3/18/08 “You can always do a "free crust" pie, where you just fold the sides of the crust up and over. It ends up looking something like a round loaf of bread that way.” 12:30:34 PM 3/18/08 “yeah. I didn't try to make a crust this time. I bought one of the "roll out and put in the pan" crusts. I put one on the bottom and fitted it to the dish, then I piled in the apples, sugar, cinnamon on top with some butter and put the other crust over the top and trimmed it to fit.” 12:35:32 PM 3/18/08 “My idea of a 30 minute meal includes the crying kids, obnoxious pets, time to do a load of laundry, and the oblivious husband. If it takes 30 minutes without all of that, forget it! I had my own meltdown today. Nothing major is wrong, I'm just very,very tired. Two more days of school and then I can work all weekend to get things back under control here. Two more days...two more days....” 6:08:52 PM 3/18/08 Jump to Page << prev
