Come out come out....

...whereever you are?

Anyone else sittin' around today? I feel like poop so I'm sitting inside with the pups. J went shooting at his friend's farm and brought my cousin along. Whats up? 

willywally5

I am around. I had horribly odd dreams last night so slept really late this AM and am now belng a slug. And shopping online for a waffle iron.

I'm playing on my new iPad, posting this from the iPad actually, and getting ready to do chores. I hate chores, but since I don't have a Rosie the Robot, I have to do them. Boo. I'm sorry you aren't feeling well.

MattsPenguin

Sorry you don't feel too well, MuSu.  I'm at work trying to wrap up some projects and cleaning out my desk.  Hard to believe only 5 days left!

MattsPenguin

Lizzie, your iPad posts seem to be making sense.  Guess there goes that excuse for whatsernameseesawgirl person.  (If you missed FFF, then ignore my lame attempt at a joke.)

willywally5

MuSu what's going on? Exhausted or think you have a bug or something?

ggirl2001

I'm around. Being lazy. H and I had a wedding last night so today we are relaxing until H leaves to go to work. We did manage to go grocery shopping though. 

I really need to clean but I have no desire to.

Did you start this at the same time as my afternoon thread?

sarabear23

Sorry you're not feeling well Musu.

I'm just hanging out at home with the pup, he's laying at my feet. 

Did you get a new job MP? 

musicalsunlight

I think its just a bad pressure headache from the crazy drastic pressure change we just went through. 

Sorry about the bad dreams wally. Hate those. 

We made dinner for the elderly lady next door last night and ate it with her on her patio. I learned that her husband was in WW2 (she is 96) and he only was home for a YEAR before he died suddenly of leukemia. And she found out like a week after he died that she was pregnant with their daughter. Crazy. 

musicalsunlight

I didn't see an afternoon thread mica! Must have been thinking at the same time

MattsPenguin

Sara, I'm going back to grad school.

MuSu that is a crazy and very sad story.  Did she ever get remarried?

Gosh, what a sad store, MS.  

musicalsunlight

No, she didn't remarry. It happened so long ago that she didn't sound super broken up about it, but she rather made it sound like it was at least a blessing that she was able to carry on his name with her daughter, KWIM? 

pokepoke27

What a sad story. I don't know if finding out you're pregnant would be bad because you're now a single parent (and from the very beginning!) or good because you've got a part of him in your child. Yikes.

Nope, I saw it. I totally agree with you.

I'm here, and it's a mightely boring day in my world. FI is out with friends, and I'm cleaning up and futzing around the house.  I found a great deal on cute flip flops (payless), but that's about the only fun thing going on.  I've been meandering through addressing save the dates, I started early because my hand writing is horrible unless I write really slowly, so it's been taking a long time. 

musicalsunlight

I guess she was able to have her single aunt move in and help take care of her daughter so that she could work at the department store downtown. I just can't even imagine how much MORE difficult it would have been then to be a single mom.

Lazy sunday.

<div>My mom addressed my invitations and STDs. She's got amazing handwriting. But we did also start super early because she is a major procrastinator. That and she was SO worried about messing them up that she was an absolute wreck. For some reason she couldn't understand that it was ONLY a freaking envelope, and didn't need to be perfect. </div><div>

<div>I know, thinking about the story made me tear up a little. But that's probably because of my stupid PMS. </div>

I'm sorta here and sorta watching the tennis matches

musicalsunlight

Wally, she definitely is super interesting. She is pretty much all "there" too so she can carry on conversation pretty well. My great grandma is 91 and also totally with it, and she has some cool stories. Like how she finally was able to bring my preemie (sp?) grandma home from the hospital on the day that Pearl Harbor happened, and she remembers nursing her while wondering where the eff Pearl Harbor was, lol. 

willywally5

I find the story very, VERY inspiring. I mean, it is super sad, but she played the hand she was dealt. Of course, I'm a big fan of triumph over tragedy so there's that. 

What kind of dang waffle iron is good. And why do they vary so much in price?

It's so sweet of you guys to do that! How's her life been since the loss? Did she have interesting stories? The elderly have so much they can teach us. My old employers mother is a concentration camp survivor. She was one of the first female commodities brokers in the country? A really neat lady.

I hope it rains here. It's been threatening too all morning.

Daff - I absolutely love both of those colors. And I'm sending those vibes. Hopefully the storm cools your area down a little.
