The Loopy-O
CHEERY O
Tuesday is terrific! Why, you ask??
Why not, I say. :D:D:D

Clara- I have a question for you. Is there any way you could come to NJ say in the next hour or so? I have to go food shopping. I have my coupons ready, but my back hurts. Could you come and push me in the cart? Please?

Its going to bite-- I need to get cat food, dog food and cat litter. All in one trip. Ah! But I must think of the good side. My arms are going to get a workout and I could use some Michelle Obama arms for the summer. :lol: ( I still can't believe that some pundits have been making such a big deal about her arms. *eye roll* If they want to make a big deal over something, how about the "sexy" strapless Communion dresses I saw in JC Penney last week. Yeah, I typed that right...

But I am am rambling again. Nothing new.;)

My fam is so bummed. Almost all of our favorite TV shows are over for the season. NCIS last show is tonight. In Plain Sight has a few more to go. Fringe is over until Fall (Wahhhhhhhhh! We *love* Fringe. Go Walter!)
What is everyone planning on watching now?
I need some "new" shows to tape.
Any suggestions would be great-- just no reality stuff, like AI or Survivor... not our taste.

Would you all believe it was so cold her yesterday that I had to put the heat on in my house? And I was wearing my anti-terrorist terrorist hat? (Its a fuzzy white winter hat I wear inside, my kids say I look like a terrorist).
It had better warm up today, I want to get some more yard work done.

Has everyone checked out Shaui's Spotlight? Wow!
we are FULL TILT with Shaui this week!!! Monday, may 18-Sunday may 24th!
And you should see the fab LO's! Just so stunning and creative!

And now, on to my O-Fam :)

Dawn- Oh how much fun!!!! Sound slike a *fab* weekend. Third Eye Blind.. I always get them and 3 Doors Down mixed up. I know I have some 3 Dorrs Down cd's, not sure about 3eb. But so fun!
And don't yopu hate that- can't sleep when you are supposed to, and exhausted when youneed to be up. Thank all of the gods for caffiene!
Give Davy kisses back fromme- what a sweetie pie. My one cat, Merlin, has the roughest tongue ever- it is actually painful when he licks us.

LindaW- you are so lucky your dh likes to help inthe yard- that is awesome. hope that you get some breaks and can hang out with us too :)

Joslyn- my goodness girl- you sound totally chipper for having a baby a week ago! Wow! OK, I just looked out your LO holding Chase. Can I please just kill you now? Where's the sweat? Where's the exhaustion???? You look like you are holding a baby that someone else gave birth too LOLOL! (All my birth pics are not pretty, not at all!)

ME- ITA- I love the portability of the lap top- hope you get everything running smoothly again soon. Good to hear you had a fun weekend!

Sandra- How is Will today? Poor kid, he sounds likehe was really bad off. Hope he is a ton better today.
That bites about the people you baby sit for. If that is what they agreed to, they need to stand my that. :(

Kristen! WB girl! That pic is adorable!!!! And tatting, that looks complicated! But the ribbon is very pretty. And what a great idea to use the patterns for scrapping.

Sally- I will go check you albums on FB in a bit. :) LOL at your stories- you have a good oral family tradition there.

Clara why aren't you in NJ yet??? :D
I like sushi too, but only the cooked stuff- or smoked salmon Raw tuna- not for me. But Scott- thatkid can scarf down more sushi than most adults! He loves it all. We tried making sushi a few times at home- Ca. Rolls., It was messy fun and yummy- but lots of work.
I am with you on the babysitting/favor thing. Esp. at thispoint in time, where $$ is tight for everybody. Even a couple of boxes of mac and cheese shows effort and appreciation.
Hope you have a great time camping this weekend- glad it worked out for you!

Kelly- Ugh- I know it, this weather is the pits. I am glad I don't have a little one who wants to be outside all day.

Sarah- no worries on when you pop in! As you saw last week, days and dates don't really matter (t o me at least LOL) Good luck with the OB. I hope it allworks out for you.

Dawn- I am running late- and yes need to warm up the car again as it is 35*!!!! ut I am going to read your Lyme link as soon as I get back. TY soo sooo sooo much for thinking of me and sharing. It really means more than you know!

Gotta run (into the artic winds of NJ LOL)
Love youall!

My tip for Tues- lots and lots of bug spray and tick checks no matter where you live, I have been hearing people all over the USA saying that they have Lyme but no one wants to treat them b/c they don't have ticks or whatever in the arae. :(

xoxoxoxo
 
Good morning everyone!! {{{waving madly}}} I get to say hi BEFORE you all go out for the day!! Hope you all have a great Tuesday! I am just about ready to go to bed so while I was waiting DH to get out of the shower I thought I would drop in and say hi! My Tuesday was so-so, came home early as there was just so much noise at work......the BIG DO is on the tomorrow and they were using the cleaning the concrete paths with a pressure cleaner.........oh, don't you know?! Executives and politicians can't walk on dirty paths!!!! aaaaaaarrrrrghhh! they are driving me nuts! so at the height of all the noise my manager rings up (she is 3hrs away) and wants to know what the noise is that she can hear........I tell her in nice pleasant voice {{cough}} and she says just go home!! weeeeellll, I HAD to do what my manager said so I left work around 3.30pm......came home and have been scrappin' since LOL!

OK gotta go, have fun everyone and I will catch up again tomorrow morning to see what everyone is up to!! cya xx

We have not completely decided where we are going on va.ca just yet...since Cameran's (my grandson) mommy will VERY preggers then...we are taking him with us...they are not going any where this year. so it will be somewhere fun for him. will fill you in when we make that TOUGH decision.

Morning my favorite peeps!

LindaW-just reading your post and I'm exhausted from thinking about all that yardwork, LOL.

Whoever wants to go shopping, I'm there! I can really do some damage shopping, LOL.

Ona-so good to see you here this morning! I'm glad you got to leave work early to scrap, hope you had a great rest of the day :).

Chris-cold again? ugh. it was in the upper-40s here yesterday morning, I love it like that....feels so brisk and cool. Anything less than that is too cold. I just hate the heat here in the warmer months, it's sooooo humid. It's impossible to fix your hair or at least for it to stay fixed. Of course I know the cold is not nice to joints and makes them ache. I hope it will warm up for you!

((((hugs for everyone who stops in))))

Search for OScraps on Facebook, several of us are on there and we can link up from there!
 
good morning... finally getting around to posting... I was feeling a little queasy this morning... thought I might have picked up Will's bug, but am feeling a little better now... maybe it was just that early morning sinus stuff yuck!

Yesterday was chilly for most of the morning, but today is supposed to be nice... I need to get the flowers out of the garage and put them back outside... I put them in because we were under a frost advisory... they probably need some water too since its not rained in a few days (THANK GOODNESS!)... my yard is finally dried out... we even got it mowed... although the grass was so high we need to do it again lol...

Chris - Will was back off to school this morning... he did get a little sick yesterday afternoon, but I think that was motion sickness from having to go to the bank yesterday... I've asked my friends for the pay, but I can't really make them pay me... I'm just glad she's gone for now... I won't watch her again until June 1st-5th and then she'll go to pre-school... as for our friendship, if they could do me that way they're probably not really my friends :(

hi Ona!

LindaW - LOL, thanks for the petition idea, but I don't know that its work that much trouble ;)

hi Dawn!

have a great day everyone!
 
Hi Girlies, happy Tuesday. DH comes home tonight! YAY! I am so ready to check into my private hotel suite to scrap, read, knit, and order room service. Not happening, but I am really beat from working, the boy, and the dog.

Chris -- I LOVE Fringe, and I am so excited it's coming back next season. Walter has some of the best lines. We are a few episodes behind so I can savor it a little while longer.

Hiya Ona, Dawn, and Sandra!

Linda - congrats on the weeding. I detest weeding, but it's so necessary to make everything look pretty.
 
Hey ladies! Fly by from me! Busy day yesterday. The boys had speech therapy in the morning then we took off for Sioux Falls. Went to some bike shops (Hubby is looking for a road bike) then lunch, then I had an eye appointment with a specialist. Then we took all 3 kids biking with SIL. Then supper, then went to SIL's softball game. I am still exhausted.

It is going to hit 90 here today and I am not ready. Yesterday was 86 and I thought I'd die. I want my 75 degrees first! :)

Linda - Yes! Lots of us are on Facebook. Ooooh - join my Mafia!!! :D :D

Do stop in to Shaui's spotlight this week! I am LOVING her challenge - talk about a real challenge!! It wasn't easy but man those pages are gorgeous. I need to upload mine today!
 
Good morning ladies!! So...everyone seems to have a major hang up with sushi, huh?? But it is sooooooo good. I was never into it until I was and I love it. I do love places that make sushi in different ways too. The sushi I made the other day I am sure many of you non-sushi types would. I used soy wrappers instead of the seaweed because Ethan doesn't like the seaweed (he'll eat raw fish but not seaweed) then I put in rice, avacado, shrimp and cream cheese. Sushi is definately messy to make. Oh...I have a little story to go with it though. I wanted to find the soy wrappers for Ethan so we headed off to a little asian market down the street from my house (they have these markets all over the place in the NW). So I went in and found the seaweed but couldn't find anything else so I asked at the front. It was run by some Koreans that didn't speak English very well. Mostly Koreans shop there so why would they need to speak English, right?? They ran me all over that store showing me all kinds of things that weren't right. Ethan at one point said "This is so difficult." It ended up that they didn't have what I was looking for but they showed me something else that would work. Then I ended up finding the stupid wrappers at Walmart of all places.

Last night was interesting. DH called me at about 4ish in a panic because he just found out he had an overnight duty that night. My natural reaction is to freak out..."What do you mean you have duty? Why didn't you look at the roster?? Why are you making my life so hard?? Whah!! Whah!! Whah!!" But I didn't freak out. I called my neighbors to make sure they would be home and able to watch Addie until I got home. My biggest concern was dinner. I don't get home until 6 and then I would need to cook and everything else. So, I got to the neighbors house and talked to her for a few minutes and said I had to go figure out dinner and she piped in with...we just ate dinner and have lots left over. go for it!! Thank the Lord for great neighbors!! So, I didn't have to figure out dinner. Whoohoo!! No mac 'n cheese for us. Yay!! Then we hung out for a little bit. her house is always like a zoo because her kids dump her with all of their kids so she had 5 kids, 3 of them under 3, at her house. We went home, played for a bit and went to bed. I even got to scrap a little bit. It was awesome. Today I want to do Shaui's challenge. It is on my list of things to do. I can't watch Gilmore Girls until I do, so I better get on it. I got both of the kids ready this morning without any issues. Addie woke up so great. She usually doesn't for dh because it is so early but she was in a great mood. It was awesome. Hopefully dh gets some sleep today and isn't cranky tonight. we'll see. I noticed lately that he has been in a much better mood lately and I found out why and am so excited about it. He has ADD. Something he has dealt with his whole life. Well, medicating is not always easy. The slow release stuff doesn't work right so he is supposed to take 3 pills a day. Now asking someone who has ADD to remember to take pills at 3 seperate times during the day is insane but over the past couple of weeks he has been remembering to take them. I didn't know that is what was going on but I could sure tell the difference. he was nice and pleasant and often even sweet. He has been in a such a foul mood for quite a while. I finally had to sit down and talk to him a few months ago and say what the heck is going on with you? I didn't know if he had depression or if something crazy was going on that he didn't tell me about or what. It was bad. But this is awesome. I am so excited because he noticed a difference.

So, I have rambled on long enough today. Let me give out some love.

Chris - as soon as I finish this I will hop on my bicycle and ride on over. I would so be there if I could. I know what you mean about all the shows ending. I am bummed about Fringe and House too. I haven't seen any of "In Plain Sight." I'll have to watch them online. I hope it gets warmer soon. It should be warm with it being May and all.

Ona - Had to leave work early because of the noise, huh?? Rock on. Any reason to be told you need to leave early can't be bad. I'm glad you turned it into "me time."

LindaW - I am so jealous that you have a pretty yard, although I definately don't want to do the work to have a pretty yard. I am going to get some Japanese maples for my back yard soon though. Those shouldn't be too hard.

Dawn - I was going to suggest the Oscraps group to. You are just ahead of me. I hope you have a great day today.

Sandra - I am glad you are rainless and no longer quacking like a duck. Whoohoo! I am also glad that Will is feeling better and that your yuckiness went away quickly. That is good you at least said something to those people about the money. It is too bad they don't care. You definately don't need them as friends.

ME - yay for ymg coming home. Life is so hard as a single parent. I don't know how people manage. I think I would go crazy. Thank goodness you only have to do it in spurts. I hope you get that hotel room one day.

Tali - I hope your eye appt went well and you got some good answers. I understand about the big heat wave. I can't do 90 degree weather. Yuck!! I like it to stay in the 70s and low 80s. that is ideal.

Well, I am off now. Hopefully I'll be scrapping soon. Have a great day everyone!!
 
Hi Ladies! Not much going on here. Clarissa's softball team is 3-0. Their team name is "Mow This" because they are sponsored by a landscape company. I guess there is some sort of double meaning, but I don't get it. So if anyone knows, please fill me in. At least she's not on the team named "Get the Runs" (we thought it would be funny if their jerseys were brown, but they are blue).

Chris: I'm bummed about the TV season ending too. I love Fringe! I started watching because I like Pacey... I mean Joshua Jackson, but I keep watching because Walter is such a great character. I've been re-watching episodes on hulu, and picking up things I missed the first time around. At least In Plain Sight is still on and Burn Notice will be coming back soon.

Dawn- I didn't know 3eb was still around. I saw them live once years ago. I remember being mad because Our Lady Peace (the band I went to see) opened, and at the time OLP was much more popular here. So I was indignant that this upstart band got to headline. But they were really good, so I got over my outrage.

Sally - I need a nap from just reading about your life. You are one busy woman! Spanish wine and cheese and stories sounds like a great evening. I'll be looking for the trickery layout.

Clara - I agree with you, that if you ask someone to do you a favor, you should do something to show your appreciation. It doesn't have to be a grand gesture, just something. And of course you should repay the favor.

Sarah - at 38 weeks everything is crammed in so tightly there is a good chance those parts will be covered and you won't be able to tell. I hope all goes well.

Hi to everyone else I may have missed!
 
Clara I think we were posting at the same time. I just have to say OMG I so know what your DH is going through. Clarissa and I both have ADD too. I can remember to give her her medication about 5-6 days a week. I remember mine about 4-5 days a week. And that's just taking it one time a day. If we had to take it 3 times a day, I don't think I'd ever get it right. But boy do I notice a difference when I take it.
 
hey girlies!! i'm off to my bff's house to eat lunch and then watch a training video on how to administer the SAT test (all levels ... not just the college entrance exam). So then next week our kids will take their levels...i'll proctor her kids' tests and she'll do mine. So I can see if this ole homeschooling thing is working!! LOL!! or really, i'll see where I need to work more with my kids! It's just like the Iowa Basic Skills tests we used to take (that they still have!). But the testing is next week's plans...i gotta get through this week!!

love you all!!!

have a great day!!
 
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO he's killin me!! he needs to go back to work!!! just taking a well deserved break....I see a manicure in my future..although I am NOT the manicure type!!! hehe I am the pedicure type!!! Love to have those piggies rubbed!!!;)
 
I have to check in. I just spent the afternoon at the ER with my Jakers. :( He got his finger slammed in the door jam and sliced open hugely. So I flew to the ER with him and Eric stayed home with the other 2 kiddos. He got XRayed but luckily nothing wrong there. Had his nail removed and some stitches and he is much better, until the shot wears off anyway. :( Poor guy. It was so hard to see him like that.
 
Poor little guy. That is the worst to see your little one hurting like that. I have a feeling I'll spend many evenings in the ER in my future. With Ethan being 6 I have had a dog bite (2stitches), a bike crash (4 stitches) and a broken arm. It doesn't get any easier. Big hugs to you. He probably is loving the attention and love he's getting from mom right now. I think it is much harder on us than them. Ethan always falls asleep while I'm stressing out.
 
Ugh!! So I have good news...I was offered ajob!! Yay, right?? It is actually a great thing I just like my job sitting here doing nothing all day. I've been wanting to work at the military hospital where I was offered the job for years. 10 paid holidays and 3 weeks of vacation a year. Can't beat that. So, my mind is made up I'm just dragging my feet, ya know. Plus I could probably get into Mammo that way. We'll see.
 
Hey girls! Just popping in again to say hi! I am at work and it is Wednesday morning! Its absolutely pouring down outside and cold.............and they are having the big ceremony today! Hope they all wear their gum boots! they're gonna need them!! and it is quiet today......ahhhhhhh....... Sandra, it my turn to quack like a duck!!

Tali - poor little fella! hope he's ok. like Clara said it is sometimes more upsetting for the mums than the child. I used to hate taking my own in when they were little for their needles.........ugh it was horrible!!

Clara - sorry, I'm another one that says YUCK to sushi!!! my daughter loves it though so when I go up to visit we always have this big discussion on where to go to eat!!! LOL! and I can understand your concern in regards to DH and ADD. one of my grandsons has ADD and I can certainly tell when he hasn't had his medication!

LindaW - you can come right over when you have finished your yard hun!! i have heaps of things to get done ............. and look, we are in our autumn so its a lovely time to get out in the garden !! :)

Sandra - Hi there, hope you are feeling better!

ME - It's terrible not having that home support isn't it! after my first marriage ended i was a single mum to 4 children........although i was supported by my own family and by my ex husbands family it just wasn't the same. when my darling partner of 24 years came on the scene the kids were still youngish and he was very supportive - of which I am eternally grateful for! anyway, they were long years but in the end we turned out ok and I guess i wouldn't the person i am today without those life experiences.

sorry, my turn to ramble, moving on.......... :)

Sally - you do wear me out! i feel like i have to go and lie down after i read all the stuff you need to do!!! LOL!!

Dawn - your forthcoming trip away sounds like it is going to be fun. haven't heard of those bands at all down under but hope you have a really great time.......lots of photos!!

Well, i gotta go, so hello to everyone else and hope you all have a nice night's sleep. nighty night O ladies xx
 
Real quickie from me tonight...I'm am beat...

But I had to say CONGRATS, Clara, on the job!!!!!!!

Tali-ouch, hope his sweet little finger doesn't hurt too much :(, poor child!

Everyone-see ya tomorrow :)! (((Hugs)))
