Good evening,

Long day today, promises to be longer tomorrow. I am contemplating that it is time to focus on finding a new job, I am so done with them. I won't bore you with my reasons, and I am thankful for having this job, but there is only so much stuff that you can be put through everyday just to be reminded you are just an insignificant number in the company's eyes. 2 more days until my next day off. Sorry for the little rant.

I need some Christmas!


Good night all.

Nobody knows how unhappy a job can make a person more than me !! (As you all know). Just like you advised me....Do what you need to do....Money is not worth being MISERABLE or UNAPPRECIATED !! xxo I will be praying for you.........xo

Good Friday morning, my Christmas friends!

Today is the first day of school and Bellville is the epicenter of a humongous traffic jam. I don't think I've ever seen so many people in town before. I'm sure it's just because it's the first day of school. Surely it won't be like this all year!

Tomorrow I'll be at Bernie's, so y'all come on down for breakfast! I'll be having wheat toast and turkey bacon, but there'll be plenty of fresh pork sausage and eggs to go around.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Hey Brad !! How about some turkey sausage for us non-pork eaters ?? !!:yahoo:

 

[made582]

Uh, have you had any coffee lately???

Why do you ask?

 

[made582]

I'm going to call it a night. I have to get up early tomorrow so I can got to the farmers market and then I have to put brakes on a friends car. Goodnight Everyone!!!!!!

Cognac it is! cheesy

After the day I had, that looks good ... and I rarely drink. But now I'm thinking of a sip or two of Grand Marnier ...

Uh, could it be the ADD symptoms?

Why do you ask?

Good Friday morning!! :grin: I am envisioning a weekend at the lake with baseball on the big screen, a bonfire every night, good breakfasts in the morning, cookout at night...and another surprise birthday party for my hubby! Poor guy! :lol: Our neighbors at the lake never let a "round #" birthday go by without a party, so he probably won't be too surprised! But they can try! Temps are going down to 50 tonight! Doesn't seem right to be watching baseball on tv in August with a bonfire to keep warm, but we'll do what we have to do!

I hope you all have a great weekend planned!

CAH - good luck at the doc today! I hope everything is fine!!!

Have a great time !! Weather seems pretty nice for the party !! xo

Good morning, MMC! How are you all today? I am well, just getting some things done around the house today and trying to relax. DH is working and the kids are at daycare, so I am trying to get a lot done.

Anything new? Nothing here. I think I am going to through an Italian vegetable soup in the crockpot for dinner. With the temps cooling down, at least a little, it is putting me in the mood to make soup.

When we were at the store last night, I picked up stuff to make things for all kind of soups, breads, and chicken pot pie. I am getting in the mood for rustic fall food! I can't wait!

Well, off to read the boards! I have yesterday to get caught up on! Talk to you guys later!

I love all those foods you mentioned !! Nothing like Fall comfort food !! xo

 

[caninemom3]

So, as I mentioned, sorry for the long post! I wanted to make sure that I got to as much as I could! Now that I am all caught up, I feel much better. I hate being behind!

It's a little crummy outside right now. The temperature is only 66°F and it is pouring down rain. It's a little bit too cold for my liking. I just hate when the temperatures go from one extreme to the other. It was just in the 90s a few days ago and then we really dropped down. My sinuses aren't too happy with the change, either. I have been nothing but stuffed up for days now!

I am very happy that the fall is coming. Usually I love the summer - the temperatures and being off from school. This time around, I'm tired of all of the hot weather. It has been so hot and humid since March, practically. I am so ready for the temperatures to cool off a little bit, to light all of the fall candles that I bought, and to relax with the air conditioning off. Plus, of course that means Christmas is right around the corner. It is exciting to wait and see when the first decorations are put out in the stores. Another thing that I love is all of the cooking and the good food! I love making hearty dishes in the fall with my mom. It's always too hot to really turn the oven on in the summer, so now I can eat all of my favorites. I feel like my summer consisted of cook-outs, pizza, fast food, and going out to dinner.

I don't have much of anything planned for the rest of the day, so I think I am going to make myself a sandwich or something to eat for lunch, then get the mess sorted out with my classes. My college makes us wait until a week before the semester begins to schedule any online classes. This means over a thousand people trying to get through the phone line at once - ugh! I am getting prepared so I can hopefully get what I want this week. Then I can relax for my Friday and pop in a movie or two tonight.

Have a great day, everyone!

I think it is wonderful that you are going to college ! I hope you get things sorted out with your classes !! xo

Good Morning, MMC!

*Happy Friday...TGIF!*

Yesterday was Adrian's & my 4th wedding anniversary =]
Although we celebrated a bit last night, we are going to have dinner again this weekend to toast the occasion! Thank you to those of you that wished us well on FB!
My husband truly knows me very well. He bought me an It's A Wonderful Life matted photo, and had it signed by Karolyn Grimes. She addressed it to me, and quoted her line of "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings". Then he framed it. I thought that was such a sweet gesture, since it's one of my favorite movies. God love him.

How are you guys today? Any weekend plans?

Besides going out for dinner tomorrow evening, we'll probably grill out & watch some movies. It's still very hot here. I can't wait for Fall! Have I told you that?! It'll be so nice to open the house up again. Harlowe loves it, too. That way she can listen to all of the neighborhood dogs, watch people walking by, etc. Basically be involved in all the action!

Good afternoon everyone!

The weekend is nearly upon us. Only a few more hours of work and then we can all celebrate the second last weekend of August... Sounds crazy, does't it?! We had a bit of rain here this morning. Otherwise, it should be a comfortable day. The forecast seems to be making way for a warmer temperatures, too. I'm not complaining. There is still a month left of summer!

Kim and I don't really have any plans for the weekend. Although I have to volunteer tomorrow morning at league playoffs. That should only be a few hours, however. A few of my friends also want to golf tomorrow afternoon. I really want to, but I don't know if I can afford it. We'll see how much it will be.... It's always nice to get on the course!

In other news, my dad and brother were in Green Bay last night to watch the Packers put on yet another embarrassing display of preseason football. The starters look decent, but the second-string players look absolutely terrible. Hopefully they turn it around before the season begins. Only two more preseason games and then they all start to really count!

Oh, I purchased Bruce Springsteen tickets today! Kim and I would have went anyway, but my mom is a massive Springsteen fan and wants to see him as much as possible, so she is flying from the Sault in October to attend the concert with us. It's going to be a fantastic show! It took me a few minutes to get in, but I was able to purchase three general admission tickets. We're going to try and get as close as possible to the Boss!!

Well, time to get back to "work." Seeing as it is my last shift, I am taking it a little easy, but things are getting done... I hope you've all been enjoying your Friday!

Hi Brent

I know we don't know each other but I will keep you in my prayers for a job. There is nothing more stressful than wanting a job and not being able to find one........Take care xo

 

[Seawaters]

I am exhausted!!! BUT, I worked hard to get all my copies made for school for ALL of next week. Now I can totally relax and not have to go in to do any work during the weekend! Yay for me!

The doctor found too much Christmas in my blood and it cannot be cured.

I feel better already! I will be right there!

Hooray !! I think we have the same blood type !! :hi:

last day of VBS! It has been so much fun. On Sunday we are having our wrap up party...video of the past week, BBQ, petting zoo, jumping upon thingy for the kids and a chance to meet the family of all these wonderful kids.

Work last night was crazy, but that happens from time to time...makes the shift go by fast!

Meeting family for lunch...some from Alberta and some from Vermont. It will be nice to get a quick visit in.

hopefully 1 day you'll be told how much it means to have someone like you teach them in VBS.

36 days until Fall begins!!

dude, i want to jump in this picture!!

My trip to the dealership yesterday:
So, even though I printed out & handed them the entire advertisement for the vehicle from their web page which included the price in big bold letters with no, zero, nada asteriks or fine print they can not sell it to me at that price since I am not military or civil service (and they admitted they should have printed that out). Plus the vehicle has 2,000 miles on it which is a bit much for a 2012 sitting on the lot & the salesman could not give me a history about it being a program car, rental car or being used personally by management. But what they did do was go back up to the original MSRP and then spend 5 minutes talking to me about 3 separate Chevy and dealer rebates that bring the price back down to somewhere in between the two prices. Then spend another 5 minutes talking about their #1 ranked service, the free tank of gas, the warranty, etc, etc.

Yeah, I left. They have my number and my email and that truck has been on their lot since April or earlier. I'll let them come to me and we can start over. If they don't, Eh, I'll wait for something better.

stick to your guns murphman. if they want to sale it they'll take your offer, just a power thing. dealerships love to think they made you think you got over on them. i hope that makes sense. lol

hey y'all!! hubby made it home today, busy day @ work, very tired. hope all is well.

brent-your time is coming for good things!!

snowflake-the thought that went into your gift from your hubby is priceless. that's the sweetest thing.

Soup smells so good! Tonight is Bambi 2 on Disney Jr. We will be watching that before I lay down for my nap. Even though I worked last weekend, I am working this weekend as I well. One of my co-workers wanted this weekend off, so I am working this weekend for her, then she will work next weekend for me and then I will have the next two weekends off. It will be nice!

Off to get some more things done around the house. Talk to you guys later on. Hope everyone has a MERRY Friday evening! :razz:

Take Care Sugar !! Remember to rest and relax if you can....you were just sick !! - I never knew there was a Bambi 2 ! xo

 

[caninemom3]

I just have got home and comfy...it was 94 on the drive home with the humidity I'm sure we are talkin triple digit heat index...Anyway so glad it is the weekend...we have NOTHING planned this is the last week before the local high schools football games start...and I am sure Brad will tell you that in Georgia in the fall high school football rules!!! it may even come before church around here!
