Daily Ooo's Thursday March 24

The Loopy-O
CHEERY O
Good morning O-Fam! How is everyone today? I had a pretty good day yesterday! I wasn't that crushingly exhausted I was last week, and the chills are gone. So that is great news! I was able to food shopping, work from home, do a little scrapping/posting, and all w/o a nap :D

So that's the good news.

The good/bad news- I was supposed to get my PICC line inserted today.
But yay for health insurance (not). My PICC insertion is being put off til next week.
Our health Insurance co hasn't submitted some paperwork yet. It "should be" in by tomorrow but who knows? *eye roll* The IV Health Service has to wait until it is in officially.
So I am off the hook til next Tuesday. I guess that's good, *laughs*

Its def. a good thing I am not in desperate need! As in, good thing I am not dying- they'd probably tell me to wait until they got "approval." Hahahahhaha!
I am bummed though- I was all prepared in my head for it. So that is kind of rough. And the sooner I get it in, hopefully the sooner I get it out. I would rather not have to deal with this in the summer and at the beach. Oh well, what can ya do?

On to the Ooo's!

Dumpty- I am not even going to *look* at the conversions, I am sure you are much much warmer than it is here! It got up to about 38-39* F and it was windy. Brrrrrr! But I love ya! And I am going to start swimming to you soon ;)

Hi Timounette!

Hi Sandra- how are you?! IKEA is cool, but yeah, no way you can get in and out of it quickly. Were you able to do the rest of the challenges?

LindaP Please tell your school you need an assistant, pleeeeezzzzzee! I'll walk (as soon as I am done swimming to visit Dumpty) to you, if I have too

Yam, so good to see ya in the Daily Ooo's! This is where we love to hang out and chat about our days. Where in South America are you, you must be pretty south for it to be cold right? Good luck with the Cheery O call!

Happy Belated birthday Big Girl Kalin!!! That is too funny about your Bro- I remember my brother going to S Carolina and asking what size Scott was- he was a baby so I said 12 mo's and he came back with a 12 youth! it was cute-- but yeah, no clue!

ME- oooh have fun - oops, did you have fun with your mani/pedi? Doh,of course you did! How is your dad doing now at home?

Tali- did you survive the drs? How is your little man doing? Will you have any down time in Vegas or will it all be wrapped up with the wedding? I hope you and YMG have some time to chill a bit!

Miss Clara- did you make that appt with the allergist /ENT yet? If you didn't, you should! I hate to hear how your suffer so much :( That sounds like such a nice time- I love to watch the Ocean. (yay for the jersey shore! ) But any ocean or lake will calm me, I love water! And I love your posts! They make me feel like i am not the only one who goes on and on heeheeeee! Good luck with your Cheery O LO too!

WoooooT! Yay BAMM! So good to have ya back!!! Kim's challenge looks so cool! I am going to work on it today!

Kelly- awww thank *you* for making the week so much fun for us to do. The Cheery-O's just love this place and want every member to feel happy and welcome! Hope everyone in your fam feels better soon.

Hello Birthday O'Fairy!!! Thanks for stopping by in the Ooo's! We love ya!

Quirky!!! How are you???? And that big baby of yours??? How old is he know? 2 months? 3? Gosh I wish I had a better memory. but i can't wait to see pics!! Good luck with your craft stuff! Lia-- don't be shy! We are a super friendly and caring group of ladies. This O-Fam is the BEST! So happy that you are joining us! And UGH- what a time for your computer to break.

Hi Dawn and Di!!!

And to all of the Ooo's to come- sending out big hugs!!!

Only in South Dakota could you have blizzards in one part of the state and tornado warnings in another! Crazy weather here yesterday. The wester part of the state got a boatload of snow and high winds. By 5 p.m. they had closed interstate 90 from Chamberlain to the Wyoming border. Not sure if it's open again now or not? We have flooding north of here. Last night we had some horrible winds just about dusk- tipped lots of things over and blew stuff all over the yard! More to clean up! Yay! NOT! They just said on the news 71 mph wind gusts in some part of the state!
Guess we'll see what today brings?

Chris - I would LOVE to have you! I'm sure we'd get in trouble and certainly would keep the kids entertained!

Dumpty - how long are you keeping Chris - I need to plan! :)

Out of time this morning, more later. Love to you all!

good morning... Will is off to school, and I'm refereeing the other 2 because they're fighting over the chalkboard/dry erase/drawing paper easel we got at IKEA... this is the 2nd one because they broke the first one... not much going on here today... I need to go grocery shopping since we didn't do it on Sunday because we were at IKEA...

Chris - I'm okay... sorry to hear your picc line was put off... don'tcha just love insurance ;) as for the challenges, yes I got all the daily ones done... and managed one chat challenge... wish I could have done more... I got my last daily posted at 9-ish last night... whew!

Well GOOD MORNING LADIES!! Can you tell I'm chipper this morning! Even though I really really didn't wanna get out of bed this morning I of course had to...you know that slow bogged down brain ya get it the morning when you first wake up, well I think mine lasted a little longer today I really put my friendship tea not in my hot water like planned but in the sugar cup next to it! Go figure! My true wake up call was while getting dressed I happened to turn just the right way that sent every muscle in my body to screaming! But for a good reason...Be proud of me ladies...after close to a year of doing NOTHING I vowed last night that I WILL lose the rest of this baby weight! So what did I do? I went and walked 3.5 miles like a nut! But GOODNESS it felt sooo good to get out and do something for ME!:) Needless to say the weather is pretty here, in the 50's and 60's most days.

Warm enough that we (my mother, father, and I) started a garden! We have a list from kingdom come to plant! We did most of the cold crops already, like Artichokes. Yep I'm a fan of those funny Magnolia bloom lookin Veggies that no one knows at the checkout counter :) Anyway...I pitched in to help thinking that working in the garden might help me get back in shape as well! Yes ulterior motive, shame on me!

Ohhh, and I scrapped like a crazy lady last night! The baby crashed early, and Savannah amazingly enough did the same so I was actually sitting on my couch at 8 fed, all kids taken care of, the dogs were ok, and just staring into space! I couldn't believe it! Hello I usually don't get down time till like 10-11ish! So I scrapped away! Got 3 layouts done! (2 I can't show yet but not much longer:))

Ladies:

Chris: You have a great Memory! Jordan is now just over 2 months old! And 14 lbs. at 27 inches long! And no believe it or not the boy is not fat! He is so long everything is just lanky! And girl I sooo feel your frustration with the insurance companies! We've been fighting with ours over the pregnancy for the past two months! My fingers are crossed they get it together ASAP for ya!

Linda: Ohhh sending you warm thoughts!! BLIZZARDS!! Suck city!

Sandra: A mom's job is never ending...I do believe they should put referee at the top of the Qualifications list!! I've heard alot about IKEA's but never been in one, I'm not so sure there is even one very close to us...hmm...gonna have to check that! :)

I hope everyone has a great day! I'm off to do that day job thing :( Catch ya later!

Well let me just say I am SO GLAD today started off with a huge laugh. (The llama thread...) That made my day!

I'm reallllly excited right now! Mr. Fantastical (LOL @ Sally) has been working on a Public Service Announcement with Reno Gang Unit and some other kids in our community. It's VERY good and it shows all of the consequences to living a violent filled life, and all of the great things that can happen if you choose to live a violent free life. When I watch it I can definitely see where DH put his little touches on it and he plays a few characters in it. It's only 60 seconds long but it's wonderful!! Welllll, *drum roll* they are finally finished and tomorrow is our big premiere and screening at city hall. There is going to be a lot of press coverage and DH will most likely be in the newspaper again. They are going to post the video for the PSA on YouTube.com so when they do that I will post the link so you can all see. So right now I'm trying to keep him from getting too excited before tomorrow, but I am so proud of him. He took his life in a completely opposite direction from the rest of his family, doing all these amazing things, and really he's just a big goof ball.

(Sorry, I'll stop now, I'm just so HAPPY!)




Chris - I'm glad you're feeling better!

Linda - That's crazy! Stay bundled up!

always chatty at the O!!
Good morning ladies. I have a lot to do in the next 20 minutes but instead I am chatting with you. Much more fun. I lost my phone though and that makes me crazy. I can live without it but it is dead so I can't just call it and find out where it is. Oooops. HOpefully I find it before our trip on Thursday. Lots to do tonight. I want to get everything all packed up and ready to go tonight. I have my small group tomorrow which I can only go to if I am ready for the trip, ya know?? I'm doubting dh will be helpful because he runs along the lines of last minute gathering but maybe he will be helpful. We will see. I almost have all the laundry done. That is always the hard part, ya know??

I stayed late at work getting my daily challenges done, but they got done and put up and I'm good. Now I am working on the designer spotlight and then the Cheery O layout. Unfortunately nothing is coming to me for the Cheery O layout. I have no idea what to do for it yet. It will come to me. I just hope that it is soon. Does anyone know how long the guest spot lasts??

Well, I really had better get moving so...

Mom...I mean chris (JK-it's nice to have people worry about me) - I did get my appt scheduled for next Tuesday. I'm happy about it. It will be so nice to finally have a specialist help me figure out how to feel better. That sucks about the PICC line. Once it is in and the meds are helping you I think you'll be glad that you have it. I have taken so many x-rays of PICC line placement (don't know if they told you that you get an x-ray or not). They have to make sure it is in the right place and all that. I am excited for you to get it...that means that you might start feeling better more often I am hoping.

Linda -I think I am not going to add S. Dakota to my list of places to live. Regular snow blizzards and tornados?? I think I'll stick with our rain. I'll bet y9ou have nicer springs and fall than we do though.

Sandra - Do you hate grocery shopping as much as I do?? Besides the soaring prices I just hate grocery shopping. I can't get out of the store without walking around the entire thing 3 times. It is awful. Have fun with it though. How's DH like his desk job??

Hi Dawn! I'm with ya. I need to get off the computer too.

Hi Dumpty!!

Quirky - 60s?? That would be so nice. I don't garden though. I can's even keep my lawn green and the HOA is always sending us letters. It sucks. Good luck with artichokes. I love them too.

Everyone else...have a great day and enjoy yourself a nice mocha. I'm thinking with raspberry or blackberry today. :)

Holy Cow!!! I can't believe it! I found another Artichoke lover! What is your fav. way to fix them..mine is simple...We Steam them for about an hour and make up a dip with Mayonnaise, Garlic powder, butter, and lemon juice. Then you just dip those leaves and scrape off all that yummy meat :)

Good luck the all the packing! I HATE to pack almost as much as i HATE Grocery shopping! So I put it off too...but I have to do it or else the hubby either packs EVERYTHING or NOTHING! :shock:

Quick hi!!! So much to do today and so little time :)!!! Gunar starting working out with a friend at 5:30am before work and he has to get up at 5. He really tries his best to be quiet and not wake me but today he did and I am one sleepy lady. Hopefully I'll catch a nap this afternoon.

It's supposed to get in the 50's today so we'll probably play outside this afternoon fresh air does a body good.

Have a great day O's.

Good late morning!
Well, as I am quiet new living here in Argentina, I didn't know that today is a kind of "black holiday" here from the time the military controlled the country throwing innocent and not innocent people from planes...:confused:...anyway, to my surprise I have my DH at home, which I didn't plan to...he is a sweetheart, but I wanted only to concentrate on my LO's today and now I can't do it 100%...I need at least feed the man!:D
Chris- I live in Bariloche, Argentina, quiet south. Beautiful here, really! but cold most of the year, they have crazy weather here, but completely different than the crazy weather of the STATES.
What is the thing you need to do? a PICC?

Sandra- I would love to have an Ikea here!!! My son is an Ikea addict, he has one in his country...

Quirkyk- Be careful not to pull a muscle too bad, it will hurt...I loved to plant! I had gardens when I lived in the States, but my back hurts too much and it takes my time of scrapping...;)...are you a secret scrapping agent? :p

Kayleigh- it sound wonderful about your DH! So good that you feel so happy!

Clara- I am trying to start working on my CheeryO LO too...it is still "cooking"

Have a wonderful day ladies! GOOD TO BE HERE!

Passing through really quickly, but wanted to say hi to all my lovely O Friends! Hope you are all having a great day. Got my mani and pedi, and they are red hot red. But of course, I smeared my nail polish as soon as I left the place. Duh!

More later!!
 

cellomom

...loves her some "O"
:confused: :shock:
didn't someone else do the dishes during that time ???

I'd like to say yes...well, I can say that Cora did most of the dishwasher dishes as that is her job, but I have this insane set of pots and pans that cannot be put in the dishwasher (what were we thinking?????????? that was before 4 children!!!), so my job is to do the handwashing. yeah...i can't even begin to tell you how many pots were stacked up with dried food on them...

it was a really fun party, though, don't you think?????
 

Dumpty

back hOme and loving it
are you asking me ???
OF COURSE it was !! :lol:

I'm happy everything we is OK to put in the dishwasher .... ;)

Smack me ladies, another quickie. I must be getting sick, I am just soooo tired the last few nights. I didn't even want to get out of bed this morning. Ugh.

However, I did. Little Davy is sooooo darling, he gets out and hops, well, really zooms all over the place in the morning and for quite a while in the afternoons. He is a nut :). I'll tell you all more about his funny personality later.

Gotta run post a photo of a motorcycle DH wants to sell then I'm off to beddie bye.

I'll do personals tomorrow! I did get my Cheery-o layout posted, I bit the bullet and went with what I had started, it was 'me' so we shall see :). Good luck to you gals who enter with me!!!

Hugs and sleep tight!
