Hope everyone had a great day!

Kathi said...

I will tomorrow...just spent HOURS on facebook playin games...lol

Bren, are you available now that the fair's over? I need to go to the store :D (and now that I know I have money instead of an IOU, I can get more food); and this time, I'm not high on drugs - I don't even remember buying a lot of that stuff last time...that's how out of it I was

Anonymous said...

Hey all!! OMG so sorry Kathi about the 4th...yes, I was sauced
:( Spent yesterday watching Laura Ingels mini series...wow something like 7 hours...it was wonderful!! I'll get back to you about this week...I'm taking down the fair, making up time at work and getting the house ready for Steve's family to come in from Colorado next Monday....I am dropping off the boxes to you this AM..I leave work at 8am...need room in the car for fair stuff

Hey Leighann...sounds like you guys had a good time...despite the rain :) Have a good day!!

Marci...LMAO...scary aside...FUNNY about the fireworks..that will always boggle my mind that people can shoot them off in their yards...WTG land of the free...LOL..San Diego isn't one of those places we can do that...too dry here

Hey Tina...Oh my...do hope you are feeling better today :)

Tina said...

Hi all... well...thats one day of my life im not getting back. OH MY GOODNESS i was ill. I think i lost 4 lbs just yesterday! hahaha.

Still hurting today... damnit! How does that happen??? LOL DO NOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION!!

Tina said...

Tina, hope you are feeling better. :(

LA, WOW what a party! and then all the sleepovers of more girlies! I am sure ya'll had a great time despite the rain!

The fireworks were nice until the little teenagers thought it was funny to shoot into my backyard... and one exploded by my baby! It was on then!
:) everyone is fine though...

Kathi said...

You go, Nonnie; yeah, I got stuck at the Arco station...but I'm home and fine :)

Thank you, Brenda, for the boxes; I'll see my sister tomorrow, so I'll give them to her

Leigh Ann said...

Tina, hope your feeling better today!

Kathi, must have missed something...what are the boxes for?

Brenda, sounds like you got a lot accomplished this weekend:)

Marci,

Anonymous said...

Hey all!!

Leighann..take care while on assignment..I'm sure the kiddies are so excited to get to P'cola

Hey Tina...glad you're getting to the other side...feel better very soon...HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!! :)

Hi Marci :D Ohhh can't wait to see you facebook pics...hope you were leaving out some of the ones for the had to be there crowd :) Interesting you'd ask me if it's my last fair...no, not officially..but if some things don't change..it'll be my last time taking part in the organizational/running of our boothes...I would always exhibit..no matter what..Hmm but there are some changes :)

Kathi....how goes it!!

Noboyz said...

Brenda, I just meant for the summer... but gosh... yes I am sure it is hard organizing all of that and working it all the time!
:) here's a hug! {{{}}}

MB and I are trying to plan something with the little ones for the weekend.. something quick and close... and cheap!

Noboyz said...

Leigh Ann,
I copied your facebook badge for my blog! Thanks!

Kathi said...

I'm sobbing my eyes out right now; Jermaine Jackson is singing "Smile" at MJ's Memorial Service...it's a beautiful service; Brooke Shields started me crying

No, Marci; not packing anything...the boxes are for when we go through my parents house

Leigh Ann said...

Tina, glad your feeling better! Happy Anniversary:)

Brenda, thanks for the encouragement and yes, I can't wait to see the family.

Kathi, I haven't watched any of it - just got out of class...

Marci, glad you like the badge:) Where are ya'll planning on going with the kids?

Have a great evening - will check back in later.

Kathi said...

You'll see the highlights, LA; but have some tissue ready - you'll especially need it when the family's on stage

Anonymous said...

Hey all..thought I'd check in before leaving work...probably won't be able to get back on til morning...

I saw some pics of the service Kathi here on the work computer but nothing live..maybe I'll have the TV on tonight while I do my chores

Oh Marci...can't wait to here what you and the family have planned :)

Leighann...hope the class is going well :) I hear the temps are just nuts in Florida...yuck!!

Tina said...

Hey ladies! Hope you all had a great day. Just got home from work and fred is gonna go run. Then we are going to dinner! =)

LeighAnn... hope school goes well and FAST!

Marci - hope you come up with FUN things to do with the kids! Cant wait to hear about it!

Brenda - dont work so hard girly!! You exhaust me just thinking about how busy you are!!

Kathi - glad you got to watch the memorial. I will hafta catch the reruns.

Love ya all!

Anonymous said...

Hoping your dinner is lovely Tina :) and that you two enjoy your moments~ don't worry about me Tina...I've never been one to be in neutral for very long..LOL....but I do not like cleaning..I really don't like to clean...not my house anyway...other peeps, yes...I'm tired now and quit doing my chores :)

Kathi...I did have CNN on for the memorial highlights...It was very moving....doesn't pay to be famous..sadly

toodles...

Noboyz said...

Oh Kathi, I am sure the memorial was very sincere and heart wrenching.... :(

Brenda, have a good evening... looking forward to you posting in the morning...

Tina, Happy Anniversary once again!
Hope you and Mr. Fred have a delightful evening! :)

LA, we were thinking about Little Rock, Arkansas.... there is so much to do there.... somewhere semi close, that we could leave after work on friday and have all day Saturday and 1/2 a day Sunday for sure.... if we don't take a Friday or monday off....
I'm strapped for days....
I get 5 weeks a year, and alreadyd burned 3 of them... and then tomorrow and Thursday orientation at college for KK, so there goes 2 more days!

Hope everyone has a fantastic evening!

Kathi said...

Yeah, the service was beautiful; no, it doesn't pay to be famous, Bren; can't (really) imagine what those poor kids are going through; his daughter, Paris, spoke for a little bit; VERY EMOTIONAL...as emotional as I was, I'm glad she said something...I don't want to misquote her, so check it out somewhere on the web

Bren, I had the biggest smile on my face when you said you like cleaning other peoples' houses...lol; I'm making progress, but I'm just overwhelmed (sister won't call her cleaning ladies until everything is picked up - I'm cracking under the pressure)

Leigh Ann said...

Good Morning All...off to class, ugh!

Marci, college orientation, how neat is that and you trip sounds fun, too.

Kathi, heard when Paris spoke there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

Brenda, I agree, it doesn't pay to be that famous...

Tina, where did you guys go for dinner? Was there a margarita included?

Tina said...

Morning ladies!

Hang tough in class LA! I agree... UGH. We went to ElToritos for dinner and NO can you believe it?!? i DIDNT have a margarita. Still not feeling THAT good. hahaha

Marci your weekend plans sound fun! What will you do in LittleRock?

Brenda Hope you got some rest honey and hope work today is uneventful... =)

Kathi - just buck up and do it. Picking up sucks but its gotta be done. Its nice that your sister will get a cleaning lady in. Why doesnt she come help you pick up?

Anonymous said...

Hey all...Have a good day!!

Glad you had a good dinner Tina...Mmm El Toritos :D Yes, all rested and ready for the day~

Marci..Wow..your trip sounds like great fun!!!! How far is it from your place...LOL..I can turn around and look at the big map I have posted in my cubie at work LMAO

Hey Leighann....hope your day goes quick...I'm guessing it's boring...is it??

Hey Kathi...I know...gotta just do the chores :) I know something that helps me...I only allow myself to stack stuff in a few areas...not everywhere...I promise...once you master that one..WOOHOO..LOL...that's a tip on clutter LOL...that tip is besides the obvious...put it in it's place fromt he get go..but I haven't mastered that one...but I'm getting closer

Leigh Ann said...

Hi all,
That's a great tip, Brenda! Good Luck with the chores, Kathi, I know it sucks!

Tina, yes, it's boring:(

Marci, is it this weekend or next? Paul and the girls are coming a week from today...hint, hint. I know your swamped and saving days and all - just wanted to throw it out there.

Here in the barracks for lunch, will be heading back to class shortly. Have a great afternoon!

Kathi said...

Tina, I don't think they do "pick up"; they just do the deep cleaning...thing is, I'm sick of looking at my floors (you know what I mean, Brenda) and about to go on strike until someone comes in and cleans THEM FIRST - then I'll pick up. I know, I know...gotta pick the shit up off the floor BEFORE they get cleaned; yeah, yeah...

Anonymous said...

Oh Kathi..I feel for you..maybe if you pile everything on the table and couch..then the floors can get done...and then you can slowly go through what's on the table and couch...I'm sure to look at it all it's overwhelming..believe me..I get it LOL...If you do that...call me and I can run by and quickly do the floors for you, in between my own jobs :) but to make it easier and quicker..the floors have to be bare...HAng in there..the calvary is coming!!

Hope lunch was good Leighann :)

Kathi said...

I'll sound the trumpets, Bren...LOL

My sister, her b/f and I just got back from Target. We bought organizational things..so I'm hoping that if I get everything in places, it won't be so overwhelming, like you said, Bren

Noboyz said...

Hey Leigh Ann, the girls won't finish with summer school until the end of July... so we will do sometime in August, unless we do a quick weekend in July when MB is off (if he is, sucks)

Kathi, happy packing and organizing...

Tina, good texting with you today.
our babies are all growing up!

|
Brenda, I am hoping for a wonderful week for you... check your mail! I got your magazine clippings... and OMG not sure if I can make muscle art! LOL

Anonymous said...

Kathi...you're the little engine that could!!! choo choo!!! LOL

Hey Tina and Leighann...hoping you had relaxing evenings...

Leigh Ann said...

Anonymous said...

Hey Marci...what's in the area of Arkansas that you're going to enjoy??

OK...off to work...it's been crazy here...we've been down one for 2 weeks...and losing another in 2 more weeks...I'm pretty sure that it's gonna be a very long time to recover...oh well...glad to know I can leave work..and truely leave work~

Kathi said...

Hey all

My sister and her friend were supposed to be here at 9 to help organize...sis is always late; so thought I'd get a few minutes on here :D; the thought is that asa I get organized, we can get my sis's cleaning ladies to come in and clean...BUT I'm startin to fall asleep since I've been up since 6 doing stuff on my own until sis and friend get here

Anonymous said...

Hope by now Kathi, you are having the help you need from sis :)

I'm working til 5pm our time..ohhhh..so sleepy..last day for making up my time from Monday...then I go to an annual dinner for the botanical foundation..the resteraunt is just down the road..perfect!..but I have no dinner date :( Oh well..solo I go...

Hoping everyone else is having a good day...Marci are you working today?? I finally reached Tina..she's really swamped...Leighann...are you exhausted after your morning PT then class all day...oh my!!

Tina said...

Hey ladies! Hows it going!!

LA - I am so jealous!! 30 minute PT AND a run!! You kick ASS girl! I would have DIED.

Hey Marci! Hows the plan for Little Rock coming?

Brenda - honey! Thanks for the sunshine email! It totally made my day! I didnt even get to log on to email till about 1130...then had to log back out cuz i was so busy and i knew i wouldnt get it all done! LOL

Kathi! YAY for organizing!

WEll- gotta figure out dinner! Love to you all!!

Kathi said...

Floor is naked, Bren :); if you're not too tired from the dinner tonight, could you come over and help with the big stains? Patti (sis)'s gonna call her cleaning ladies today and set something up for next week (hopefully they won't be too scared to make it a regular thing)...if you come tonight, we have to get on our hands and knees (I'll do that part; maybe you can rinse the soap off the floor with a mop - forgot you have bad hands)

Went to dinner last night with the class and ate lots of shrimp:)

Brenda, I love the shrimp ducky from Copelands - that restuarant we were gonna go to in New Orleans...I bet I could google the recipe, but where do you buy duck? LOL!

Tina, oh, I was NOT kick ass - it kicked my ass, I am so sore right now. This is the first time I really worked out since I got home and it shows!

Marci, the crab sounds wonderful - so, does the peace and quiet, LOL! If you can enjoy - it makes me paranoid...I'm like shouldn't there be a kid somewhere? I love chuck e cheese's bbq pizza:)

I wonder sometimes, why God has entrusted so many of his angels with me!
LOL

Anonymous said...

Awww Leighann...I wish I was sitting with you this evening :) sigh...I can't wait to see what that blanket looks like...some day...dear God...way in the future..when I'm gonna be a gramma..maybe you would make a blanket :) LOL...I say that like I will be one....good grief

Marci...I hope by now Gabrielle is sound asleep and doing well..her mommy too!!!

Kathi...I guess it wasn't meant to be for me to come by this afternoon...sorry that my timeframe was so definate...it's the best I could do right now :( Hoping you are well~

I've made my grocery list and some baking recipes , etc...off to the commisary in the AM...I plan on spoiling the family when they are here....LOL....plans...they are meant to be broken...I'll play it by ear LOL...there will be little ones here...so I think I'll throw my plans to the wind and let the mommy (Steve's sis) take the lead :)...but Steve's mom...I will take the lead...she deserves some sploiling!!!

Kathi said...

I'm sorry, Brenda; this is the first time being on here today, so obviously just got the message about calling you :(; I did end up doing all the big stains on my floor by myself...took me 3.5 - 4 hours to do it all, so I was so sore and tired today (maybe that's why I took a break from the computer today)....sorry, Bren

Leigh Ann said...

Kathi,
WTG on the floors...bless your heart!

Brenda,
The family visit sounds wonderful -enjoy! Sounds like you need some spoiling after all of your chores and planning this weekend.

Tina,
Hi Champ! Are you at Disneyland?

Marci,
