Good evening Friday-ers

Nebb · May 2010

Whats up?! getting your drink on yet?

mocha beans · May 2010

Yep, I'm already down 3 capt cokes. My grandpa died last night so I'm letting myself let loose. We also have a friend coming down this weekend and we'll go to the Nickelback concert in town on Monday, so I'm going to be getting more drink on later.

*I've had to edit this several times to get it all right. Yay for KUI*

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · May 2010

I am SO EFFING BORED. I'm still at work. 2 hours til I leave.

Then: gym, dinner (FI got a GC to a pub we like) and a party to kick off my kickball season. See what I did there? Kick? Yeah, okay.

Oh, and I just wrote a bigass post on WP because I'm afraid one of my BMs has dropped out without telling me. Oy.

ohwhynot · May 2010

Oh Mocha Beans, I am sorry.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · May 2010

Sorry about your grandpa, Mocha. :-/

Nebb · May 2010

Im really sorry to hear about your grandpa

I hope youre doing ok.

My condolences also about the nickleback concert :P

I feel like I am going to vomit, my feet kill, and would love a margartia. Luckily for me I live above an amazing mexican restaurant... but I am too lazy to move after standing in the most uncomfortable shoes for an hour.

Those two things don't usually go together for me. Well, actually, one usually precedes the other.

Mery- I thought your fi was Taylor Hicks. You know, the one from American Idol?

ricksang · May 2010

Awww sorry Mocha

Hugs

Hiii Nebb

I am making some beef fried rice and I will have a beer later.

I did not. :-( I thought you would be mad at me. And I wasn't near a computer for most of the time, either, so I couldn't message you.

We got into Buffalo Friday morning. I drove FI around my grandparents' home town. We had lunch. We checked into our hotel. We napped. We went to dinner. We met up with my childhood BFF for drinks and to meet her FI.

Saturday we went to the 5 and dime store in my home town, had to meet up for a tour of a Frank Lloyd Wright house, had lunch, did a little more touring around Buffalo, and then went to my high school reunion.

Sunday morning we left Buffalo to visit my parents who live 3 hours away.

We drove back to Buffalo Tuesday, but I barely had time to stop at the Sabres store before we had to be at the airport.

So a jam packed weekend unfortunately. NEXT TIME I will make it to Canada.

Ha- I know. I feel sick from being in the direct sun and then in a hot hot hall for an hour. It will go away soon.

mocha beans · May 2010

Hey, I love Nickelback, so we can agree to disagree on that!

Thanks everyone. He's in a much better place, comfortable and not in pain anymore. He was lucid until Wednesday, and has been knocked out on morphine since so it wasn't long. I'm happy about that. My aunt had a device her company is developing that measures oxygen saturation in the blood, so they were able to watch that and see as it dropped, and were able to wake grandma up in time to say goodbye before he went. I'm glad for that.

He does NOT look like that! This is a bad pic of him (some pics are cute and in some my friend says he looks like an alien). If I were to pick a celeb he looked like, it would be Clive Owen. He has cute ears that stick out.

And Nebb, shhhhh about Nickelback! Her grandpa died. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-tongue-out.gif" border="0" alt="Tongue out" title="Tongue out" />

i am here! I am not boozing but I am eating some salsa!

gypsybride2010 · May 2010

I'm here just trying to stay awake. It's just after 12:30 here in Berlin and I have to be at the airport for an early flight at 5:00 am which means I would have to wake up at 3:00 to get there in time so I am just trying to stay awake all night and sleep on the plane. We'll see how that goes!

Aww thats really good, I think being able to say goodbye is important.

I was just kidding about nickleback btw :) I couldnt resist.

ricksang · May 2010

Meh, the fried rice is kind of gross. I wish I had sushi.

What are you doing in Berlin? Do you live there? I was there 2 years ago and I had a great time! IT was just for 8 days, and I don't speak any German, but I loved it. I actually liked it better than Prague. Everyone always says to me, "Isn't Prague the BEST? It's soooo pretty." Well, yeah, but Berlin was more fun.

kkchisholm · May 2010

Looking like taylor hicks isn't a bad thing!

Nebb · May 2010

I just saw this on the news!

You can pick up a spider without getting close to it! COOOOL!!

mocha beans · May 2010

lol They put on a decent show last time we saw them. And it got my concert boyfriend up here for a weekend, so it's good enough for me, since he didn't come to see Godsmack and Zombie with me last weekend.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · May 2010

It's the hair, isn't it? Oliver is just gray around his temples and in the back a little. He started going gray around 27. My dad also has really dark hair and he started going gray at 25. BUT FFIL will be 69 this year and still has allll of his hair, even though it's white now, so that's something.

Yes, I live in Berlin. I teach at a bilingual school here. My German still isn't great but it is pretty easy to get by in Berlin as most people speak pretty good English. It is a super fun city. I just spent a weekend here while I was living in Brussels two years ago and decided before I left that my next teaching job would be in Berlin. I moved here in August of last year and am super happy I decided to do it.

Hi All!!! I'm drinking a nice cup of coffee...complete with Bailey's. I've a bad headache. And, I'm annoyed---I went to change all my bank info over to my married name today--and, it somehow canceled my debit card(s). Eff.

That is one HELL of a big spider. If I saw a spider that big, I couldn't be in the same room with it.

Which reminds me, when FI got home last night he found one of the cats sitting in the kitchen by the garbage can, staring at a caterpillar that somehow got into the house.

FI: "I'm glad Sam didn't eat it. That would have been gross. I flushed it instead."
Me: "Uh, you could have just put it back outside.

ohwhynot · May 2010

That is one huge-ass spider. Even I, the fearless insect slayer of the household, would not be within a broomstick-grabby-thingy distance of it.
