Did I ever tell you guys that in my "letter of application" (I use that term loosely) for my preschool position, I informed the director that I don't gag at the smell (or sound)of vomit? I'm pretty sure that's why I got the job.

:lol: They surely took this bit of information into pserious consideration!

Silver lining on an otherwise crappy evening,

I bid on and won a romantic trip for 2 to Victoria BC to stay at the Fairmont Empress!! Think I should take the hubby or find someone worthy of a romantic weekend??

Wow! I guess you should take hubby since he's the one who strong-armed you into going in the phirst place

y could result in poop up to his shoulders??? ..... always after weetabix....funny that

But seriously, those events would have turned the HARDEST of stomachs

Operation 'school reunion in grotty pub must-look-fab-it's-so-stressful' this afternoon,

Hold me .........skird!

Have a wonnerphul time, Nik!!

Morning Psillies. Cinnamon rolls are rising. They shall be ready in about 1 1/2 hours. That should be plenty of time for you all to get here. I shall expect you shortly.

OMG <droolphace> Be right over!

....1.30pm on a Sun afternoon and I've got a vodka & coke in me hand

That's our goil A wee drink will take the edge off

I gotta finish insulating the kitchen today, having committed to the dry wall guy coming next week. I'm just not a fan of anything involving actual labor. Would much rather supervise.....by phone.......from a distant, more pleasant place......with a drink in my hand.....

Jess does nae want to get her hands dirty Not that I blame her.....can't wait to see pics after the walls are up.

[celiac-mommy]

I'll go! You can pick me up on your way to the boat. I'm not terribly romantic tho'. Too practical for that foolishness.

I think we are going to go to Seattle a day early since we have to catch the ferry at 8am, maybe we could meet for lunch or something??!! Not sure how often you get into Seattle...

In light of how you've been thinking of hubby of late....I think you need to take some psillies with you instead!!! May not be so romantic...but would be one hail of a great time!!!

Me thinks you are right!!!

Ra-shellle! You will LOVE it there - - Verrrrrry posh and old-style elegant - -while I was out there last month, my mom, sis and I wandered in and had "high tea" there in one of the incredible restaurants on the first floor. Mountains right in front of you, a quiet piano playing in the marble foyer.. . .. ...And Vicoria is one of the loveliest cities I've been in, methinks. Take heed - - lots of seniors. Ya cannot be in a huge hurry to get anywhere - -cavalcades of walkers, canes and big station wagons cruising at 20 mph...........

Yeah, We get a gold room, so we have the high tea, our own consierge (sp?), complimentary cocktails and canapes nightly and an extensive continental breakfast in the "exclusive" gold room lounge. It sounds like it's a VIP thing and the "regular room" peeps are not allowed

Wow! I guess you should take hubby since he's the one who strong-armed you into going in the phirst place

I think I will not have a choice in the matter. But he was busy schmoozing and I was left to my own devices at the table. The item came up and I started bidding. I was concerned because 1 day of snowmobiling went for $900, and I wasn't going to pay that much!! With our tax write off, we got a 650$ trip for 340$!!! And I think since it was the last item, everyone else was bidded out But I told y'all I was a bargain shopper!!

Operation 'school reunion in grotty pub must-look-fab-it's-so-stressful' this afternoon,

Hold me .........skird!

Have soooooo much fun!!!

It's an un-landscaping day today. I trimmed back bushes yesterday and started pulling out three burning bushes . . . gah!!!!! . . . they are in a spot MUCH too small for them (like just about everything else in this yard). I might have to actually pay someone to dig these out, the roots are so intertwined and there is no manuevering room to get leverage on these puppies. I took out a 12 foot tree (including the root ball) by myself that was much easier than one of these bushes!!! Suze, when you come for your cinnamon rolls, bring me some of yer muskle relaxers!

Wow, you're amazing, like Paul Bunyun!! I gave my hubby 1 job at our house--take care of our small yard and I will take care of the 3600 square ft and everything inside.....He hired Jesus and his crew to take care of the yard-that was his way of being responsible for it I thought-if you can do it, so can I, so I hired Viola to help me with the house but she only comes every other Wednesday He doesn't want to pay her for every week....boohoo

I gotta finish insulating the kitchen today, having committed to the dry wall guy coming next week. I'm just not a fan of anything involving actual labor. Would much rather supervise.....by phone.......from a distant, more pleasant place......with a drink in my hand.....

Let me know when you're ready to paint-I'm good with a paintbrush!!

[Darn210]

Let me know when you're ready to paint-I'm good with a paintbrush!!

ooohh . . . me too . . . I'm slow but careful . . . Paintin' Partay at Jess'!!!!! . . . and yes Jess, you must come, too . . . no putting us on a speaker phone to talk to you whilst we paint your kitchen!!!!

Just a poop in. God, I miss talking about poop and vomit, not having to worry bout spellin and "Perfect English" and being uncerimonially un civilized! My computer crashed and I can't afford a new one. Just wanted to thank you all for the many times you've lifted my spirits. Hope to poop in now and then, but access is hard now. You all sound so good and I miss ya!

Library?

Mug a businessman for his blackberry?

[elye]

SLOOOOOOOZINSKARONI!! Great to read you.....indeed, how you have been missed. Yes, library! It is where I race when I'm offline at home. Get thee to la bibliotheque!!

Gah! A West-coast Psummit!!

Mygawd......I believe I saw the people who stay in these highly exclusive wings of the hotel, as we sat sipping our $32.00 pot of tea .. . .......they wandered past, not inclined to take in our obvious tourist-y, wide-eyed and wondrous demeanor. Um, my foot (the injured one) was bothering me, so I unhooked my sandal, then the other one, and sat with bare feet. Now HOW on EARTH would anyone notice this, as my feet were tucked under the table, completely obliterated by an exquisite gold and muslin brocade cloth?? Dunno, but they did - - 'twas quite a heinosity for the peeps strolling by, I'm sure..... . whispering, subtly pointing. . ........

I gave my hubby 1 job at our house--take care of our small yard and I will take care of the 3600 square ft and everything inside.....He hired Jesus and his crew to take care of the yard-

Gah!! Jesus is taking care of your yard? Is he a good worker? I thought he was a carpenter... ...does he rip up shrubs and cut back hedges?

Didn't he create a burning bush at some point?

Or did he put one out?

Or appear in front of one.. . .. ...proclaiming it a miracle.......?

Crap, I need Jesus here to build me a new picnic table....... . . .and turn quite a bit of tap water into wine.. . ......now THAT is one request that he must hear ad nauseum. "Sorry, I just cannot be doing that anymore.... . ....you must go forth, and buy your wine".... ..

[nikki-uk]

Evening all!!!!!!

Suffice to say I survived the afternoon, t'was quite awwwwwkwarrrd at first, with only TWO other peeps being apparent (would NOT have recognised 'em..only I heard them ask at the bar if anyone else had turned up for the 'school reunion' )

Three gianormous craters in the ground. Three decimated bushes strung about me walkway. Too tired to clean it up now and plus I still need to pare down the root balls as the bushes are too heavy to lift. We'll see in the next few days if the back goes out . . . that's what usually happens. I over do it one day (back's just a wee sore) and then one or two days later, I turn wrong or too fast or reach for something and out it goes . . . the clock is running. Broke the pitch fork trying to leverage one of 'em out of it's hole. Gah, what a mess, but the worse part is over.

Sloozen - so sorry to hear that you are now in a forumless abyss!! You must find yer way back to us!!!

[Darn210]

Gah!! Jesus is taking care of your yard? Is he a good worker? I thought he was a carpenter... ...does he rip up shrubs and cut back hedges?

Didn't he create a burning bush at some point?

That was his Dad.

Or did he put pull one out?

That was me and actually, it was three bushes.

Crap, I need Jesus here to build me a new picnic table....... . . .and turn quite a bit of tap water into wine.. . ......now THAT is one request that he must hear ad nauseum. "Sorry, I just cannot be doing that anymore.... . ....you must go forth, and buy your wine".... ..

Yep, that's exactly why he got out of that water-to-wine business, Emily people kept badgering him for more wine.

[celiac-mommy]

Rah-shyelle, you will have the best time, larfin' at the snobs! Actually, there were some very decent folk around us, as well......but no one offered to rub me phoot. Guess that would be beyond decent - - a little creepy, perhaps?

'Morning, Gang!

Lord, I lay awake last night thinking about eating beef stew from a li'l toilet, whilst sitting on a toilet, underneath light-fixtures shaped like turds.... . . .indeed, this is a nightmare of the first order. And this place in Singapore (or is it Japan?) is PACKED with patrons!

Gah.... . . .and that big, happy mascot - - a big, pink piece of poop with eyelashes, lipstck, Betty Boop-smile... . . .....

Given the right market, literally anything will sell. . . . ....... . .
