Congrats Kristen :)

Have a goodnight everyone.

And Hi Heidi! How's the vacation going?

Rest well dear ANT

Good for you ANT!! A few days off to unwind...hope you enjoy the time...maybe plan a nice vacation for the near future? Sending relaxation vibes your way ♥

Aunti T..It's going great thank you...Not looking forward to going back home on the 11th.

Hope everyone has a great weekend, relax and do something fun!

OMG! Hung out with a HAWT EMT today! Helped him choose pants....I HAD to look at his BUTT!! Just a perk of the job! ROFLMAO!

The love is here for you ANT and for each other... and it will lift us up!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_7rUWCjK_c

ANT, would you like to see the HAWT EMT BUTT?

Tuesday will be schmoosday.
Hurray!

I am sooooooooo damn happy you are taking some time off for YOU.

As a friend, no one wants to see another friend even remotely appear to be martyring themselves for the "friendship".

You, my Loverly ANT, do not need to feel the weight of "ALL OF OUR FRIENDSHIP" on your shoulders like it is a JOB or a CHORE. NONE of us want that.
Period.
JOY is what is in order.
Pleased to be here is the call.
None of us should ever feel it is a have to or a demand.
Us or you.
Period.

I for one love love love what you have created for us and can not explain to you the gratefulness in my heart about it all, cuz it sounds stupid.

I love you and love the various colonies you have gathered and the people in them.

HURRAY!
HURRAY FOR YOU!
AUGUST is gonna be
a GRAND MONTH!
:o)
Mj

I just want to say that when I am not here....it is because I am really not feeling well.... or am just really down and overwhelmed myself and just don't have anything to give to anyone ...or other life circumstances arise and need attention.
.
You ANT are no less human than any one of us....and you deserve the same opportunity that we have.....to shut down and take a break from here when needed..or to just be an observANT etc... There is no way anyone can be "on" everyday. You just can't do it!
.
We cant always be here.... we have to take time for ourselves.. ...you need to do the same thing for yourself... Take all the time you need to rejuvenate and recharge.
.

It is ironic isn't it how you are so loved by so many ... cyber world and non cyber world yet you say you feel alone...It is all perception in our minds isn't it.... Because you surely are NOT alone......Hope you can remember that!

POP!

Bring me back a souvenir!
:)
oh just kidding.

Sometimes I think a lot of these times in life bring us right back to that cycle which drives the LOA.

One challenge of LOA is to focus upon those things we want or want to project upon the universe.

But maybe a bigger challenge is knowing WHAT it is precisely we want or want to project onto the universe.

For me, that's often the more difficult part of the LOA. Not the doing but the knowing of what it is I really want.

I mean, it's easy perhaps to want a great many things.

But to be more selective and meaningful than a SEARS Christmas catalog of desires - well, that can pose a challenge.

There are so many worthy desires. And yet they are often of such different qualities or importance.

And they sometimes change as life changes.

Gosh, it does all requires real contemplation at some point or another in one's life.

POOF!

Everyone have a wonderful weekend and ANT especially, enjoy some time this weekend.

You are among friends

ANT... take all the time you need... we will be right here with love♥

Bed Bug sleep well!!
Heidi... I am so glad your having a great time...
Goodnight Steph...

OH... I am watching a movie called Hillary and Jackie... about Jacquline duPre
Now I understand Janie's devotion. A remarkable and gifted woman... who gave until she could no more.

G'Night JANINE!! {{{{{{{hug}}}}}}}

KEVIN
I am watching Rachel Ray in Sante Fe right now! Thanks for the heads up. It looks like a fantastic place to visit.

GOODNIGHT EVERYONE
.
I did go for my burger, but didn't get my library book. The library was flooded and was closed! Ha!
.
MRS BEAN- Yes, the library here has a serve yourself and I am in there less than 2 min I swear. I put my car at the front of the library where you can drop off books outside bins. I put my flashers on. Go to my name. Zing my library card and the book and I'm out there. I may try again tomorrow. The library is closed Monday as it's a holiday here in Canada.
.
STEPH - I hope you enjoyed your play date. Give you some fun!
.
HEIDI- I loved your heart and ANT in the sand. Have fun as you've still got lots of time.

ANT- I hope you haven't taken your Crackberry to read posts. I hope you are just veging out or having some fun and no computer. We get so attached to this computer don't we?

All is quiet in the Colony......

Sweet Dreams My Friend......
~
Sweet Dreams We all will be here when you return.......
~
Plenty of Rest and Happy Thoughts
~
May All your Wishes come True
~
WE Love You, No Matter What.....

Goodnight Nightshift.

testing

testing again

Just poping by before I start packing. It's so much I have to remember to bring with me since I won't get home for three weeks, hopefully I won't forget anything :)

GOODMORNING EVERYONE
.
It's Sat! I hope everyone has a great weekend. I hope you have a great trip to Greece EMMA.
.
HAVE a good day everyone. Back to bed with my head again.

Rest well dear Ant, rest well. love and blessings T

Mornin chickiepoos and boys too!

Random thought.
Bought bananas the other day.
Currently they are 60 some cents per pound, but my grocer had brown bags of them that had bruises, not all black or overly ripe, for 19 cents per pound. Got 29 bananas for $2! Now THAT is a cheap eat at 7 cents per one.
If you freeze them (after peeling), you put frozen ones with some milk and yogurt if you like in a food processor and seriously, you have softserve banana icecream that rocks. I used to also add a bit of splenda and vanilla. Also some ground up flax seed.

Anyway.
Finishing a funeral printing this morning and decided to post a random "banana smoothie" recipe idea for ya.
Why?
Hmmm.
Cuz.
;op

Have a great day everyone!

DAWN--I do the same thing except I park in the underground parking. Or sometimes I wait until my husband wants to go find a book and then he can just pick it up. I cannot be as fast as you are because my boys always want to look around or check out dvds. What drives me crazy is that I will go pick one up and then I get called the next day that there is another one. One week I had to go 4 times, but you can't beat the price! I cannot imagine what I would spend on books if I bought all of the ones I read. A really good one I just finished was THE CONDITION by Jennifer Haigh. It was a very good book, a little romance, mystery, family dysfunction (who doesn't have a little of that)? Take care EVERYONE and thanks to everyone who welcomed me back. I have missed all of you and I hope you all have a great Saturday ♥♥♥♥ STEPH IN OREGON--I have always been drawn to Irish things too. I hope someday to see Ireland in person.

Good Morning Everyone!

BEDBUG Well it is all over..you survived!! Hope it was not too traumatic for you and that it gives you and your Dr. the answers and the help you need.

.
Now... have you washed your hair yet?? I think THAT might be the worst part! LOL
.
See you guys later! Happy Saturday!

MRS BEAN- I have written down your book choice and I will get it at the library. Do you have to pay for the service of them pulling the book for you and email you? We only pay if we don't pick it up within 7 days. I must admit I'm like you I have my name in for 4 books and they all come at once, but not the same day. I do the same thing too with my husband I give him my card and he picks it up. LOL! I hate going out! I'm not afraid to go out, Big Difference. Have a good day and it's so nice to hear from you again.

MRS BEAN- I've got my name in for the book and I'm 9th in line in the que. I'll let you know what I think of it once I've read it. Thanks for the suggestion.

BedBug here! Just checking in. Yes, it is over. Boy am I glad! I don't mind saying I hated it. (It's all perception, and I had my mind made up to hate it ... so it came true.)
And I'm really pouty about the fact that I have to do it again once I am fitted for a mask. But, the first one's over, so no sense dwelling on it. And the second one is a way's off, so no sense borrowing tomorrow's worry for today on that one either.
For today, I am one happy (but very tired) girl! Love to all.

Good Morning!!

Looks like lots of people are "unplugging" for a while! I hope everyone has a good break and get some much needed rest!

BEDBUG
I hope the sleep test got the answers you were looking for.

I am trying to get up enough energy to take the boys to the Farmers Market this morning. So far we are all moving in slow motion!

Have a wonderful, restful, peaceful Saturday.

BEDBUG
You and I were typing at the same time....I am glad it is over. You will be so happy with the mask and how much better you sleep. My husband said he had not slept so well in his entire life. He wears his every night and wakes up so rested! I wish the same for you.

Hugs, Love, Prayers going out to all those in need of them. Hello to

BedBug I wish that the test results will be what you are looking for.

"will be what you WERE looking for...Oopsies! :)

Love you ANT take the time you need for you...if you want give me a jingle, I'll catch ya on the jangle

♥Steph♥

STEPH Have fun at the farmer's market today with your family! :)

Oh no!! hope that HEADY won't say anything for my correction LOL but in my defense HEADY it DOES change the meaning so it's ok :) haha

Alright all you ANTpeeps! I'm outa here. Off to enjoy the day. Have a lovely day everyone. ((Colony))

BEDBUG- I am sure you are exhausted and just couldn't wait to get home. Maybe have a bit of a rest now and then the day will be better later. You are so smart not to worry about the next one. I would be like you though. I'd already not like it before I even got there. Did you sleep at all?

DAWN-- We don't pay ever unless we return the book late. If we don't pick it up in 5 days then it just gets put out for the next person. I hope you like the book. It was a good read for me. For me I love going out but have a lot of anxiety about it which prevents me from doing it. Did you get your burger? ☺ BEDBUG- I am impressed that you have made it through. You are doing a great thing by sharing your experience so that others who may have to go through this in the future will know a little bit about it. Good Luck! I hope they find the answers you need. I am off to shower now and endure the heat. I am so over the heat this summer. Last summer was the hottest on record where I live and this summer is in the top 5. We have a swamp cooler that is not working right and they have tripled repair prices so we are just limping along, grateful for whatever relief it can provide. If anyone has tips on how to cool a house down that does not involve windows and fans I would love to hear them. I have already stripped down to the least amount of clothing in which I can still answer the door or have people over to the house! Is anyone else having the hottest summer ever or close to it?

MRS BEAN- Yes, I got my burger, but it was so noisy with like 20 kids screaming. Then nicely beside us is a couple and the kids are coloring. Some of the parents needed to take a page out of their book. We ate and left and I put cotton in my ears because it was really bad. I'm not being grouchy here. I think even people with kids would have wanted to scream. Needless to say I just wanted to come home. That's how I get this desperate feeling to go home to my space and peace and quiet. I know it's even been hot here this year too. It's cooler right now though so I'm so glad. I'm going to read and then sleep for awhile.

Had a crazy busy day yesterday, paying for it today, hope to still get some things on the to-do list done.

I'm still struggling, hate to admit it, a lot. Whatever I am trying to work out (some I am aware of and some not) is now manifesting as nightmares - not fun.

I am so appreciative of the connection I have to The Colony.

BED BUG - I'm sorry I wasn't around to offer any last minute support to you before you went in. How long will it be before the next lab experience with the mask? Hopefully you will be able to be more relaxed knowing what to expect and knowing that what they hope to accomplish can make such a huge, wonderful, difference for you. It took me several tries before I found a mask that I like (tolerate). If you want to know any of the pros/cons that I discovered during my own journey, just let me know.

Safe, ginormous, hugs offered all around and thanks for being here.

ty for the smoothie recipe, emjay.
~
can ya freeze bananas and then thaw 'em and eat 'em? i hadn't thought about it before.
~
xoxo
~tam~

HAPPY WEEKEND GUYS! I woke up at 10:30 this morning...I spelt 12hrs, man I needed it! Any who doing the packing thing! ANT, if you need to work out a little stress head down the NASHVILLE and I can put you to work! Nothing like a little sweat to clear your mind! And while your here I can take you to see some HAWT EMT HINEY!! ROFLMAO!!!!

Hi Tam
.
You can freeze the bananas and use them like EMJAY said... or eat them frozen.....just slice and they will be delicious....but if you totally thaw them...not good IMO ........ just kind of mushy and not so good....
.
EMJAY ...I do the same thing..only not milk.. don't do dairy! ....I use Vanilla rice milk and add fresh ground nutmeg and cinnamon...really good!
.
You can also use them for banana bread etc...since you have so much!

Just stopping by to say
Have a great Saturday ANT and colony.
*
Hi Steph!
*
scrappysmom I bet it was hard to resist pinching???!!???
*
(sniffing air) Is that banana bread I smell?

Banana bread YUM, Ali-Kat!
.
Scrapps, I feel your packing pain. I'm doing the same thing here. I just wish I had memories of "hawt EMT hiney" to get me through! :)
.
I hope everyone is having a great Saturday!

grrrrrrrrrrr- need to sign in everytime i wanna make someone's life miserable? what is up with that
~
kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~
kinda
~
ali, i don't do milk, and i live in a dairy state and i've done my chores in the barn but i love almond breeze on cereal - i don't think i could drink it outright (blech)
~
i'm kinda freaky, not lactose intolerant (i think) i just stopped doing dairy when i was preggers with my son - he hates dairy, too
~
i love all dairy products, just not milk (even typing the name makes me cringe)
~
where was i going? who knows?
~
do i do the kilroy was here symbol now?
~
how many remember that?
~
nm, i don't wanna know
~

~tam~

POP!
steph in oregon - hey, Rachel Ray's travels was a pretty good episode. You know how it is when you live somewhere and therefore know whether or not a show is either on or off the mark? In 30 mins, she captured a lot about the S.Fe food scene.

Emjay - my bananas have been 67 or 68-cents (they went up another penny recently) :) for simply ages and ages now. At a couple of the supermarkets, they even slapped up a sign next to the bananas. At first, I thought, "Oh, here we go...now the bananas...salmonella".

But no. It was actually a rather lengthy apology stating that due to climate conditions in many banana growing countries, they felt bad that the quality of bananas this year has been...well, crappy (The sign didn't say crappy but that's what they meant). :) Well, at least it wasn't being blamed on gas prices.

But I NEED bananas.

Well, because in the summertime I like me'frozen bananas. I dip and squirt them in sugar-free chocolate and even add a drizzle of sugar free caramel to some of them, too. Hell, I have even been nown to sch-prinkle a few shaved almonds onto one or two bananas. And then I toss 'em into the freezer.

What with the bland taste of bananas this year, this MUST be done if they're to be enjoyed. :)

(It's not ME, it's THEM)!

I also saute them in butter and brown sugar for vanilla ice cream.

So as you can see, the banana racket's got me hooked - even in this time of the over-priced, flavorless production.

Dawn/Richmond/BC - So glad you got your burger. Speaking of wild children, I was recently in another supermarket when this child let out a BLOOD CURDLING SCREAM. She was just standing there in the aisle - several feet down from where I stood. She was maybe 6 years of age and apparently was looking for mommy's attention (mommy was standing right beside her but I guess that wasn't good enough). :)

But when she went for another "Blood Bath At Dawn" type of scream, she happened to see me, our eyes locked and she knew I knew that I knew she knew that she was a phony. And we both started to laugh.

So some of these kid are definitely playing some games, I think. (I'll be calling Dr. Phil to collaborate on a book about it later). :)
POOF!

WE are baking in Tulsa today!
.
My thermometer outside reads 110!
.
The car's thermometer reads 114!
.
The time and temp. man on the phone says 110!
.
The weather channel officially
say it is 101! ya right! :P
.
At 10:30p last night coming home from dinner out it was still 91!
.
I hope everyone is doing alright!
.
If you can, please, check on your neighbors, especially the elderly!
.
DO NOT leave your pets outside!
~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~
*heatwaves!

GINGER- Just now when I read your post that you are baking in Tulsa I thought you were going to give a banana recipe! LOL! Sorry it's so hot.

COLONY KAT- I sure get you today. I've used all my spoons up and just got back out of bed at 3pm.
.
KEV- Thanks for helping me go out and get that darn burger! You'd think I was going for surgery or something.
.
Scrappesmom- Oh, packing! OMG! What to take, what to throw out etc. I find when packing it's all the sorting that takes the time. What day are you moving? Good luck with the new place. I'm glad your job is going OK and you are having fun with guys hineys! Ha! Anything to make the day go faster right?

*hugs* me luvs!

yanno, i typed a rather witty comment and i was told i wasn't signed in, even though i hadn't signed out
~
*sigh*
~
this is getting rather tiresome
~
if i don't come back, yanno why and some might praise the colony nerds for that
~
xoxo
~tam~

POP!
~
Dawn/Richmond/BC: Oh, no need to thank me. It was obviously the power of that burger which summoned you to it's side! Calling...calling...calling to you. lol. (What exactly makes that particular burger so good, by the way)?
~ I am happy that you didn't let anything get in the way of you and it's almighty juiciness.
You're so correct that when we keep things at arm's length, that often also includes the good things in life.
~
(And that just ain't right). :)
~
heady - I'm glad to see you around. Are things all cool there now? (And as it's Texas, I don't mean the weather). :) I hope that you're feeling better.
~
steph in oregon - oh, yes, you should try to get to Ireland one day. It's such an interesting country. And it's still one of those places where you can slow the pace, find natural beauty and a touch of drama, too. It's like the "island vacation" for people who aren't attracted to laze-about beachy, balmy islands. There's this wonderful blend of history, natural beauty and mysticism.
~
Oh. I almost died there, too! :)
Well, it's like this: I was in a helicopter over the Aran Isles of western Ireland when some ODD ASS, wind sheer (with murderous intent, if you ask me) came along and, well, not being an aerodynamic wonder, it, like, pushed us down several yards (YES. YIKES).
~
I never liked The Parachute ride at amusement parks and I didn't like THAT, either. :)
But then, once one lands, you get into all the beauty & wonder of Ireland again and forget about the fact that you almost died on foreign soil.
~
(But then it comes back in a post-traumatic-stress-flashback when posting a comment about Ireland at the ANT Colony, of course).
:)

POOF!

here's a colony quiz
~
what is yer favorite fruit?
~
i'm thinking summertime since it's pouring rain and thunderstorms outside - yet again!
~
xoxo
~tam~

Hello Colony!
Just poping bye to say good night!
I'm off to bed now and tomorow I'll be getting up arly to finish the last things before the trip and then we leave for the airport at 11:30AM. But I will try to come by and say good bye before I leave.
xoxo

Posting has never worked even though I have tried and tried so many times.

Deep breath Ant. The light will show you the way....let it. Sooooo many people care :o)

Tam- If you click on Remember Personal info you do not have to register each time.
.
Kev- Well I guess this Whitespot the burgers are good because they are made fresh. It's called triple O sauce. Hmmmmm maybe sort of like Thousand Island mayo?? I had the works. Cheese, lettuc, tomato, 2 patties and it was good.
.
STEPH- Love Ireland except it's like Vancouver. It rains all the time, but beautiful and green. You could go kiss the blarney stone. I got to do that. I hope your terrible headache goes away. I can so relate.
.
GOODNIGHT EVERYONE. I'm going to watch some TV. The laundry is going.

And what do you know....it finally worked :o) I have been seen, me likey!

quiet time is always good!!

tam, where is it raining with thunderstorms? I want to be there! It's a nice, cool 98 here right now. I'm going to fire the weatherman! He said it was going to cool down to high 80s/low 90s this weekend!
.
Favorite fruit is Kiwi! Right now I'd love a Kiwi Margarita!

Good evening colony!
-
Just a drive by post to say hello!

-

STEPH Hope you had fun at the farmer's market today!

-

EMMA Have a wonderful and safe trip in Greece! Takes lots of pictures!!
GINGER Hope that the weather cools down a bit for you guys. Wow that's HOT for sure!

HI Ygirl.... you HAVE been seen!
XOXOXO Steph
I am rushing around today, but want to send my love....

{{{{{{Neblina}}}}}} I hope Emma is feeling better♥

TAM Favorite fruit I'm afraid that I can't just choose one. I love love Cherries, Autumn Apples, Fresh watermelon, Fresh peaches and nectarines, Fresh plums, Fresh Berries and the list goes on...I don't think I have met a fruit I didn't like...well that's not true unlike Auntie_T :) I'm not a fan of Kiwi but otherwise...I LOVE THEM ALL!!

I better get going (again) LOVE to all of you!

JANINE Yes she is feeling better today. I think that seeing her Daddy when she woke up really helped hee hee

Neblina- I'm like you I love every single fruit. Now vegetables that's another story. I can eat them raw, and pickled,but don't like them cooked.

OHHH and Mangoes Yummm

DAWN I agree there is nothing better then eating a crunchy vegetable and if I have to cook it to eat with dinner I will steam it. No boiling mushy veggies Bleurk! Steaming it a little to keep it's crunchiness it's the best way. I tried those new Ziploc I think that makes them the bags that you can put in the microwave and steam your vegetables in the bag it's awesome when in a rush. I don't like to cook to much things in the microwave but when you are in a hurry it's awesome. I cooked some fresh corn on the cob in those the other day and it was great. I also tried with broccoli and it was delish!

EMJAY I agree cut up pieces of banana kept in a bag in the freezer is an awesome freezer staple to have.

JANINE Bye sweetie! Have a lovely evening!

Thank you NEBLINA!! And yes I'll take lots of pictures and when I get home maybe I can show you guys some of them.
*
Well now I'm off to bed because it's 3:40AM and we are leaving at 11:30AM. GOOD NIGHT

Good night, sweet Emma! I hope you have a wonderful trip. Be safe and enjoy yourself! Bring back lots of photos and stories to tell.

If you guys don't know who KevJumba is on youtube. Check him out he is funny. This video cracked me up LOL

G'nite Emma!

BEDBUG Are you feeling better? I hope that you got the chance to rest today. Were you able to sleep at all last night?

EMMA Can't wait to see those pictures!

Am I having a BedBug moment?? ;)

Good Evening Colony,
~
How is everyone doing tonight?
Well I hope. Where is everybody? Come out Come out where ever you are!...... :P
~

Ygirl Nice to see you posting! And yes you have been seen :)

Alrighty that's it for me tonight!
I'm off to watch a movie with my hubby and cuddle.

-

Have a wonderful evening to all. :)

-

ANT XOXO Good night sweetie.

BedBug please tell us how your sleep study went.

Flash By posting ****

I wish to share some of the unusually cooler summer weather that we are having with those of you having 99+ weather. I am knocking on wood (well mentally anyway) that I am not jinxing myself. We hit 100 plus a few back at the very end of May and the first two weeks of June. My now 8 yo had a Lacrosse tournament the first weekend in 104 temps. The team placed second in the tournament. I am holding my breath to see what the rest of August and September holds for us.

Heidi, I am glad you are having a great time on vacation.

Robin, I am happy that you got through your test and you are right why worry over the next step until it's time and then hopefully you will not worry so much.

Oh I wish I had time to write personal notes to everyone here. Maybe I will have the chance over the next few days. All I know is that skimming over the posts I have become very hungry for some banana smoothies and ice cream with a caramelized banana topping. Oh, this place can be so bad for making one hungry.

{{{{Hugs}}}} to all and
~~~~~~~~~~waving to those who know who I wave to ~~~~~~~~~

The Original Jelly Peanutbutter off to find a banana to go with me.

Good Night Neblina! {{{Hugs}}}

Good Night! Jennifer-JPB~~~~~~

DAWN
My headache finally went away after I had some strong coffee. Now I will be up all night! But at least my head doesn't hurt?! LOl

KEVIN
Almost dying in Ireland. SCARY!! I would say that would make me have PTSD from time to time! I do hope to get there someday!

DAWN I would love to kiss the Blarney Stone although I am not a fan of kissing the same spot where hundreds of thousands of people have kissed! The weather doesn't bother me...remember I live in Oregon where it rains 7 months out of the year. I rather like it really!!

NEBLINA
We did not go to the market today. The boys wanted to ride bikes and stay home so that is what we did. I am glad Emma is feeling better.

EMMA
Have a safe and wonderful trip.

YGIRL
WELCOME! Nice to see you. Hope you enjoy the company! We are a rowdy, funny, caring, at times twisted, bunch of folks from various backgrounds. Always excited to meet a new colony member...or observANT if you have been watching!!

Hi Steph, Have you seen Ginger tonight? I am glad someone is here.

I have not seen Ginger!

Should we send out an APB??! LOL

GINGER!! WHERE ARE YOU? I know you are around somewhere giggling! I love that...

Woo Hoo...we hit 100!!!

YEAH ME!!

It looks like I am having a "BEDBUG MOMENT!"

No Steph..... No Ginger......
~
No Ants at all.......
~
Busy Ants went to bed early?
~
Hope you all are snug safe in bed.

I will keep Gingers crickets company....Are they any good at cards?...dodololodumdittydumdum

Good evening Pammie! The movie was cute. Rent it when it comes out on dvd.
.
I hope everyone has a beautiful Sunday. I'll be heading home (back to where I grew up) to my mom's to celebrate the six July and August birthdays in my family. It's going to be a beautiful day for a drive through the Wine Country.
.
Goodnight everyone.

Where are the night owls? All the nightshift has gone out?
.
I'm just saying Goodnight everyone.
.
STEPH- I'm glad the coffee got rid of your headache I think? Wired from the coffee you'll be up all night. ARe you going to school tomorrow?

PAMELA- Hello to you. I wish I could keep you and the crickets company, but I've been in bed so much this week that I have so many tapes to watch.
.
HOPKINS- Does anyone watch that show? Love that show.
.
JPB- Hello too you. Yes, I know you as jelly peanut butter. I'm so glad to see you again.

QUEEN JANINE- I hope Lily is OK? Please keep us posted.

My best girlfriend from Winnipeg was in a car accident on Friday. The airbag deployed and she has a fractured sternum. The car is totalled. All my friends are falling apart on me. My one girlfriend has cancer and now this girlfriend in the hospital. Yikes! Such is life.

Thinking of everyone who is ill. Ruptured appendix, menigitis, sleap apnea etc etc. Hang in there everyone.

DAWN
It is 12:15 AM and I am still awake. I should have gone to my classroom and worked all night. I am still sitting here trying to convince myself I am tired. Not working though....so I am off to read. I will be in my classroom all day so I may not be around until Sunday night!

HAPPY SUNDAY to you all! Have a great one!

Hello Everyone!
I just came by to say GOOD BYE! I'll leave in about an hour, I don't know if I'll be able to get internet when I'm there but if I do I'll come by and say hello and otherwise I'll see you guys in three weeks.
xoxo

It's nice to unplug for a while, ANT. I hope you are finding something fun or peaceful during your time away.

Welcome Ygirl!!

Congratulations again to Kristen, who apparently has her finger on the refresh trigger often. :D

Either that or she is the one I need to bring with to Vegas as my lucky charm, can you fit in a carry-on bag?

20 days until your birthday, ANT. Any big plans?

Have a great day everybody!

Hi all.........I was thinking of you and thought I would put a hit on the numbers. Have a great day.
