Daily Ooo's: Wednesday, September 26

[faerywings]

*yaaaaaaaaawnnnnnnnn* I am tired here. I can tell it must be raining cuz my joints ache. You young'uns... stay young, it sucks getting older LOL More nightmares again last night, I dreamed that 2 more of Cait's friends died. brutal brutal dreams. Hope I get a funny one tonight to offset the sad ones.

With your talk of soup yesterday I am making French Onion soup tonight-- perfect weather, cool and rainy. No! The weather in not perfect, soup is perfect for the weather. There, that is stated better. It will be a good end to the day since I am heading into the attic to put away summer clothes. *cries* I don't want summer to end.

Not much else going on in my little world, which is *always* a good thing. Whew!

WWW:
I wish I had a personal chef. Or at least someone who would tell me what to cook every night. (Have I said that one before? I have? See, that means I really wish for it!)
I want to stop aching.
I wish it could be summer all year long. (better not wish for that one too much- the way global warming is heating us up.... )
I really really wish that Gary would start to see a difference in his illness and would make some sort of improvement......
I want all of you to have a fantabulous day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Personals:

laurie- good for you for finishing your boot camp- i am sure I would have used it as an excuse to quit myself. Have fun with CE!

Phyllis, I am with you--- skip the winter!!!!!!!! I don't know how scientific it all is, but a lot of wildlife watchers in my area have been saying that the animals are bulking up early this year. It could be that last year was that crazy acorn harvest or just one of those random things, but I am getting the feeling its gonna be a bad one.

Did you get any housework done? If you did it couldn't have been any worse that what I tried to accomplish at work yesterday.
i was at the woman who has MS and breast cancer house and her 5 yo son wants to help me. The more she tried to keep him away, the more he wanted to help. I was like-- whatever, let him hang out with me, no use stressing over it. Poor lady had her last chemo on Monday and was feeling really sick. I didn't realize he was trying to wash the tile floor until I walked on it and almost wiped out completely!
Maybe this is more of a note to suggest that you don't clean, so no one gets hurt...?

(I am betting that Eva agrees with that!)

Linda S!! :cheer2: Good for you!!!! I was saying to my doggy yesterday that we have to get out for some walks before it gets too cold too.

Terry- I am gonna move in with you! Shorts!! Capris!! Woot!

Kim- gooooo Isaac!!! :bowl:
That sounds like my coffee dates with my BFF -- trying to squeeze in hours of gossip into an hour.

Trudy- thx for checking in, so nice to see you here!! Miss you!!!!

Jen- eep! I can see why you are preoccupied. That is a lot to worry about! My fingers are crossed tight that everything with you and the baby goes perfectly! Did you say a due date yet? Just wondering

Kim- I know I am jumping and and speaking for Jen-- but we are all very helpful here and laid back, so don't worry about giving advice, sometimes a different perspective is exactly what is needed!
And BTW- you are right that generally speaking many women are told to have a C b/c its so much more convenient for the drs! There was a huge issue inNJ a year or so ago b/c of the high rate of unnecessary C's.


have a great day!

Good morning...I am achy too Chris....the weather makes it worse!!!

We had some wicked clouds in the sky yesterday...I didn't get to take any photos...I was thinking it was going to be some kind of wild storm....but it blew a little bit of rain..and that was it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


We are going to finish cleaning out our storage unit today....that will free up $71 extra a month :dance:


Okay...off to get the kids ready for the bus!!!

 

[LaurieW]

morning O peeps- work out is done- coffee in hand- new things to learn today- it is going to be a great day- yesterday I learned that the conference I went to about Bal-A-Vis-X is going to be held twice next year within driving distance so I am all about going again. There is much I can learn- about/for myself as well as for the kiddo's I work with and their families. Well- again, I must shower before I head out!

(I am betting that Eva agrees with that!)

Aspelutely! :hippie:

Had the 2nd parenting class yesterday ... learned as much as the first time (=nothing). Today we have a meeting with the school nurse (in a couple of hours) and tomorrow J have a meeting with the "psycho lady".

It's not just me that gets tired of all this - J said today that he wouldn't mind it, but "it's just that that nothing ever comes out of if". It's so sad to see that he's beginning to give up on this too. It's like he at the beginning felt some hope that he would get help, but now he's beginning to see that nothing happens. I know it's part of being a teenager, but it's hard to see him desillusioned.

But we have some nice plans for today too. After the meeting we're going to the video store and will rent Men In Black 3 which is released on DVD here in Sweden today. Me and John (and maybe DH have been waiting for that one). Think we'll have to have some kind of takeaway for dinner today. Time just runs away from us.

Which reminds me ... I have to go and call my dad and see how he's doing. Mom's out of town so he's all alone. hone:

work out

I thought bad language wasn't allowed here at Oscraps!!!! :shocked::shocked::shocked:

 

[LaurieW]

Hey now- my body needs this- I no longer want to see a jiggler when I am forced to see myself in a full length mirror- just saying- I especially like the workouts with kicks- I just place everything that is currently peeving me mentally at the end of my feet and kick it away!!

 

[tanteva]

Well, my body have needs too, but I'm sure I'm not allowed to talk about those ound:

:banplease: :loco:

 

[LSlycord]

LOL! You ladies are definitely crazy this morning! Busy here...and not enough time to catch you all up but I'll make it back tonight, I promise.

 

[terryb]

I no longer want to see a jiggler when I am forced to see myself in a full length mirror-

These things aren't allowed in my house.

 

[terryb]

Good morning!!! Any day we wake up is a good morning, right!

Wednesday's we golf in a tournament after work. Today, I don't feel like golfing but hubby looks forward to it--so I'll be there.

Work--I'll be there too.

Didn't get to the gym today but will be doing some stuff here at the house and of course getting my walking in. Pretty proud of myself--been walking 5 days a week now for a month! Woo Hoo!!. Can tell the difference too.

Eva--I'll keep you and your son in prayer. Not sure what you are going through but it sounds like it is very frustrating.

Laurie--enjoy the conference. No full length mirrors in my house. The little ones are bad enough!

Chris-french onion soup sounds great! I love soup weather. We just dont get it often. Although we are supposed to have a cold front come through and the temps dip into the 80's over the weekend.

Gotta get to work ladies! Make it a great day!

 

[twomoredays]

Sad, sad day here. Found out that a friend's 5-year-old boy died suddenly yesterday. On top of being devastated about that, I'm pretty worried for her. She's had some bad bouts of depression and if there was ever something to trigger a major depression, I'm pretty sure this would be close to the top.

Sorry, to lay such a heavy burden down, but it's all I can think of this morning. Pray for my friend and her family and give your little ones an extra hug or two.

 

[mrsaboyer]

Hey everybody! I've spend the last week sulking. Let me tell you something about cancer, even the easy kind: it has a way of sucking out all your mojo and leaving you incapable of doing anything but playing zynga games. If you're me, that is. But I have STUFF going on and I must snap out of it!! It just sucks because I'm in this holding pattern waiting to find out what they are going to take out, and what other biopsies they want to do, and if this is For Sho' CANCER cancer or merely "cellular changes."

Blah. Enough of that!

Here's something fun. My parents are visiting for about a week, and they are coming in tonight. We invited Miss Clara and her other half over this weekend to meet them. Now Clara can meet my dad the mad Dutchman first hand! I'm a little bit nervous about the visit because my mom's been experiencing a lot of memory loss, and has actually been put on Alzheimer meds. It's weird to have your parents actually become elderly before your eyes, you know? And now I'm in sad sack territory again!

Somebody tell me a joke!

 

[faerywings]

Kim-- that is horrible.... sending huge amounts of good thoughts to your friend and her family and to you too.
(((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))

I simply cannot imagine losing a child. Hang in there and give Isaac extra hugs from his honorary O-Fam too.

 

[faerywings]

Andrea- I could tell you a joke, or at least something that would make you smile, but its not appropriate for this thread. Hint: Go to a well known MSNBC host's blog. Funny stuff!

I am sorry, absolutely no disrespect meant to anyone over their political leanings,but sometimes you just gotta laugh. Not at you!! Sorry,I am being unclear in trying to be politically correct. Can I just say.... windows on an airplane? Really??

Andrea- one day at a time and all that crap. Have fun with your parents and Clara! (So jealous!)

 

[whatnext]

Kim, your news is just terrible. beyond imagining. prayer for everyone involved in this tragedy.

i'm not in the mood to gab today, for some reason, so i'll spare you my trying to chat! my head is someplace else at the moment. that being nowhere in particular. just not present.

hope everyone finds some fizz in ther day. have a good one!

phylis

 

[mrsaboyer]

Oh my gosh, Kim. I didn't read your post before I wrote mine. I was planning to come back later for personals... I'm so sorry to hear that. Praying for comfort and strength. That is so tragic, I really have no words. That's the worst thing I can think of.

 

[twomoredays]

Oh no worries, mrsaboyer (sorry, not sure of your real name!) I know not everyone reads the whole thread before they post. I don't even always do that!

Anyway, I'm actually just trying to keep my mind of it. Partially because I still can't really fathom it. He had health problems, but not ones anyone really expected to be life threatening.

Thanks for everyone's words. Actually, scrapping has been a great distraction. Especailly scrapping happy things.

 

[LaurieW]

hugs and prayers to those who need them. My conference is good and i can be at the O at lunch- that makes it even better!!
