All right. I think we will make our quota. How many do we want by the end of June, Binger? And how many do we want by Christmas, Crown? Hey, Crown; wake up and smell the coffee!

I'm awake, Sea!
(Or should that be sea, I'm awake!)
Our modest goal for the end of 2009 (when this thread will be locked) is to simply better our 2008 mark of 2,502.
And we are running at a pace to do that, so far!

I think it is safe to say we have passed it!
how about if we try to double it?

Well this mornig I went with my sister to a party store that is closing today. They sell alot of the kids birthday stuff and alot of paper plates, napkins, tablecloths, and decorations for different events. I loaded up on stuff for christmas and then odds and ends for other holidays. The place was packed though and it took us two hours in line to check out. I only spent 15 dollars but my sister got 8 complete kids birthday sets and some other odds and ends for 92 dollars. When I got home i had a message from my boss saying he would be in toen next week and wanted to work with me for a day. So monday and tuesday will be srent getting my the stores in town that I call on in tip top shape so when we go out wednesday morning everything will be perfect. Hope Everyone has a great day!!!

MsChristmas, sorry to hear about the little one! Hopefully, the baby will get better soon! How much longer til your are due?

Anybody got big plans this weekend?

ballcoach · May 29, 2009

We are supposed to have alot of sunshine this weekend...so my time will be spent in the yard and cleaning up the truck! We were going out to eat tonight, but we are going to wait until tomorrow night and go see a movie! Been debating between angels and demons or wolverine...anybody got any suggestions?

Meceka · May 29, 2009

Hello - hope everyone is doing well! I have to work at the antique store tomorrow - we are still in the process of setting our space up for opening day on Monday.
Ms. Christmas, I hope the baby is better soon!

Binger · May 29, 2009

I have seen them both. What ever one you choose you made the right choice

I went in for a routine eye exam to get better glasses. The doctor said something about cataract surgery. I looked around the room thinking he was talking to someone else. WOW! The nurse and I were the only ones there!!! Man, getting old is the pits!!! I guess I must do this before school starts on August 10. Now, what's that all about?

How about, "See, I am awake, Sea."

good morning!

it is a beautiful sunny Saturday morning here.
My neighbours are having a garage sale and have invited us to join in, so I have been looking through the house for things I no longer want or need. Found enough to fill a table + a box of books so maybe I will make enough for dinner out tonight!
Have a great day everyone!

Quite correct, my coffee-stained friend.
That was a typo on my part. (Not enough sleep, I guess)
Our post total for 2008 was just over 5,100.
Six thousand would be a good, makable goal for this year if the pace continues.

Good Morning, Friends.

BEAUTIFUL sunny morning here in Raleigh, with calm winds (can you have such a thing as a "calm" wind??) and the thermometer standing right at 70. No rain predicted until some time next week. Nice!!

The start-of-the-weekend count:
Days to the Season: 167
Days to Christmas Day:209
And there you have it - down to single digits to the 200-Day window.
Gee, Whiz!

No one knows the answer to my trivia quiz,
"May your pleasures be many,
your troubles be few"?
Think 70's TV.

Have a Stupendous Saturday, Everyone!
