Tina,
Wished we could have been there last night! Thinking of you...

Brenda,
Enjoy the family!

Marci,
Hope you had a great weekend.

Kathi,
Send a message to Zach on his facebook, I am sure that it will mean a lot!

Take Care Everyone!

Kathi said...

I posted on the wrong week, damn it

How fun, Bren; if you're gonna gamble, WIN BIG...and have a great time

YUCK...humidity; Chicago has humidity like that, and when we were there six years ago for a family reunion, I had a HELL of a time with my asthma because of it...if I didn't bring my nebulizer, we'd be making a trip or two to the ER

Good idea, LA; I gotta add him as a friend first

Kathi said...

Bren, are you available Tuesday or Wednesday? I'd like to take you and Tina out for margaritas - I need one, and I know Tina probably needs one..not sure about you

Tina, I'll say a prayer for the four of you - that you get through Zach's absence - but especially Zach that he arrives safely to TX, gets through boot with flying colors and gets stationed "close" to home

Kathi said...

forgot to give you smooches....so, mwah mwah mwah

Kathi said...

Ok, one more post before I go to bed...today is my grandmother's (Mom's mom) bday...she would've been 105 today - she passed in '91, at the age of 87

Leigh Ann said...

Hey Kathi!

Here's to Monday:(

Tina, thinking of you and your family and of course, Zach, on such a life-changing day of events!

Love you all!

Noboyz said...

Good morning kathi and Leigh Ann...

Brenda, hope your week is restful!

Tina, I also will be thinking of you today and your family...

Hello to all! Yes, here's to Monday!!

Thinking of the Koch family today~

Hey Marci and Leighann..and Kathi

It's a full load for me this week Kathi ...I'd love to go out with you...maybe next week??

Tina said...

Good morning ladies. Just rolled outta bed. Didnt sleep until very late last night.

Now to get up and get the party stuff back and then spend the day with bubba.

I think this will be one of the shortest of long days of my life... lol.

Thanks to all of you for your thoughts. He will do great. Mom is just being a baby. LOL.

Stopping by to say hello....did some wlaking here at work and it is HOT HOT HOT ..so glad to get inside with the AC at work...back to the grind at work now...toodles

Kathi said...

Sure, I think next week'll work; Tina, are you available next week?

I'm kind of bummed today...I'm losing my neighbor upstairs; she's going into the Corps and leaves tomorrow, but she's packing up her place now and I guess driving her stuff up to her parents' in Victorville (near Apple Valley); she's been here for about a year, and was great when my mom died..

Kathi said...

Bren, I know you said you're swamped this week, but do you think you can squeeze in a store run on Friday evening? I've gotta get some cookies for our family reunion that's on Saturday up in the L.A. area - or maybe if it's easier, you can get 'em on your outs and abouts (chocolate chip preferably, but anything would be ok; and a big tray if there is one..there's gonna be about 30 people there)

Anonymous said...

How about I pick them up for you Weds ..is that too early?? Won't be able to anyother time Kathi...the reunion sounds like fun!! Let me know and then we can kinda go from there

hope everyone else is doing ok...

Kathi said...

Those cookies aren't freshly made everyday, are they? If they are, I think that is too soon...but I don't know; what I'm mostly afraid of is ME getting into them before Saturday...lol

Leigh Ann said...

LOL! Too funny about the cookies, Kathi!

Sorry I missed your call last night, Brenda.

Tina, how are you, my friend? Thinking of you guys.

Miss all of you - Marci, hope your having a great week.

Off to PT - hopefully the Seal isn't there today, ugh...but, the formation run, SUCKS! I am having flashbacks, LOL!

Noboyz said...

oh gosh Leigh Ann! good luck.... hide from that Seal girl! (Nonnie would be passed out... you are a trooper!)

Kathi, I'm with you on the cookies... way too early... they will look at you all week! :)

Brenda, yeah on the walking... you go girl!

Tina, good texting with you... hoping you have a good day... and not a bad day.... :) Hugs to you!

Tina said...

Hey everyone... thanks for the well wishes. Gonna take a mental health day from work today. Get some much needed sleep... try to shake this headache and take the girls for pedi's.

Will see how it goes. LOL

Love to all!

Hey Leighann..it just donned on me as I am squinting on the computer monitor...did you ever get to the eye doc for your reading glasses?? I'm feeling the need to go myself...I have cheapies I wear for reading..but it's not helping with the computer..I'm not sitting close enough due to the desk...keyboard etc...

Tina said...

Hey ladies... Zach called about an hour ago. Hasnt left San Diego MEPS office yet. He is tired - and sounded tired. He has no idea when he will be leaving. Poor thing... momma is sad for him.

Anonymous said...

get those boys to boot camp!!! LOL gosh those waiting emotions are so hard..thinking of you Tina!! HUGS!

Tina said...

Flights all delayed due to weather. Boys are on their way back to the hotel. Fred or Tina will go get him so he can hang out. Then we will take him back before 10 tonight. Have to say goodbye all over again... *sigh* BUT i get to hug my bubba again!!

Kathi said...

Oh good, Tina; glad you get to see Zach again...he accepted me as a friend on facebook (I sent him a message, like LA suggested); be strong this time when you have to say goodbye again

Ok, Bren; I'll go on Friday

Leigh Ann said...

Hey Everyone!

Presentations yesterday and today is Sales Lab and tomorrow is our written test. Graduation on Friday and then I am out of here:D

Brenda, I am waiting on my glasses to come in...they are the weakest prescription you can get, but it freaks me out when I can't read or crochet...

Tina, Glad you got another hug in, can't imagine what your going through.

Marci, the Seal was not there, LOL! But, I am still too old for that s%^&!

Kathi, hope your having a great week.

Hey Leighann...Gosh hope the glasses get in quick...I wear the cheapies to read and it's great..WOW..wonderful LOL...we arent' getting older...just parts of the body are LMAO..the rest of your week sounds really COOL :) Not the being away from the family though..hope it goes quick for you

Welll all... gonna finish my beer, check my Facebook and crash. Love to all!!

Kathi said...

Cheers

Yes, Tina, I have been keeping on top of my house so it's not so overwhelming, and if I do say so my damn self, it looks pretty good :)

That's about the only busy work I've been doin...just too damn lazy to get on the computer - giving my hands a rest (and my eyes...think they're startin to go since being on this thing so much)


In just 10 hours (and if my sister "approves" my house), she's picking me up and we're going to my bro's in OC, and then we're all piling in the van and then headin up to L.A. for a family picnic...but before we go there, we're gonna stop and see my dad's first cousin, who's in the hospital after breaking his femur (thigh bone, for those who don't know what a femur is)...can anyone say OUCH?!

Hi Bren...got the cookies today; sorry I was so OCD about when to pick 'em up
