Hi all, how is everyone doing? Congrats on 3,502 posts people!
Been a not to bad day, and tommorow is the first day of February, thank goodness for that! We can finally start preperly looking forword rather than back in sadness that last season is over!
 
Congratz Made582!!!!!! You did it!!!
Hey there mrichmond! How is everybody this monday afternoon?
 
Grandma for two weeks? You ok with that! ?:? Sounds like you are! lol , well enjoy your time with her. And think , when she leaves i t will be mid febuary already.

Well this will be the first time she has been to my home since I moved back from England and I have been here over a year. She will probably stay a week get tired and go see my parents in portland. That is how she is. I mean she gave me only a days notice she was coming in the first place!.lol:snowball:
 
Well, DH informed me yesterday that we would have to get a new Christmas tree this year. He broke the stand for the old one when he was moving things around in the garage.:-? We've had it for ten years, the wire on the branches was rusting, and a couple of years ago I had to put colored electrical tape on them to keep the color coding system on them because the rust had taken over the paint that was on them. I suppose it really was time for a new tree anyway!

The last time we looked for a tree, we drove around for hours to Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target & Lowes. We ended up at a Wal-Mart 45 minutes from home to buy a tree that we could have gotten at the Wal-Mart 10 minutes from home! Another tree buying adventure this year for us.:tree:

Hobby Lobby to me the only place to get trees.
 
Good afternoon everyone! its overcast and rainy here today. I just recieved word my Portuguese grandmother who lives in Miami,fl is flying in to see me tomorrow and spend time here for a week maybe 2 weeks. She has never came specifically to see just me,so I am really looking forward to it. She only speaks broken english so it's time to whip out my pocket translator! she is my only grandparent I have left and she is 84,but you can hardly tell it. she is a rowdy one..I'm sure she will be the first to do vodka shooters with my buddies! so the rest of the day I will be getting her room ready.Hope everyone is having a great day.!

So like seeing men who will take the time, to share time, with their grandmothers. Enjoy her and all she has to offer. Make as many memories as you can with her the next one to two weeks.
 
While I was out I also picked up a 32 inch Vizio lcd tv. Now I am ready for the Super Bowl next weekend and The Daytona 500!!!!!!!!!!



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..................you really went for the TV and used the salt as your excuse to go. HAHAHA don't fool me........I know I think just like that.:snowball:
 
Welp in for a minute threw together a pot of chicken/veggie noodle soup and have it simmering. Guess I am ready for the blizzard, one never knows does one, till it's over.
Icy here now, main street driving only is semi good. Anything else including my drive and steps a nightmare. No use to treat yet just a waste. About an 2 hr ago pulled in to shopping parking lot and we could bump the van and it would slide on it's own. Well this storm going to hit several so all we can do is hunker down and ride it out. Spring be here some day.
 
Hi every one! My last day of freedom before I start my 3 month internship. It will be pretty intense, and super full-time, so I am actually a little nervous (I am the kind of person who freaks out easily :P ) I have an entire list of things to-do before then, so I should get started! Wish every one a nice day :)

I am sure you will do well! cheesy
 
Good Morning Everyone!!!!!! After 4 days of battling a stomach bug I think I may be finally over it. I am feeling pretty lazy after not really eating for 4 days but there is to much to do today to just lay around. We are expecting a major winter storm here over the next couple of days with up 1.5 inches of ice across central Indy. I only have a half of bag of salt left so I will be heading out here shortly to search for a store that still has some left. Then I need to run by the grocery store to pick up some stuff in case we lose power. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay safe, we are in that path of the storm also.
 
Well goodnight everyone as we wrap up January for the history books! everyone has a restlfull night and I will talk to yall tomorrow!
 
Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

I was surprised that it was raining this morning. I haven't checked the weather forcast, but the weekend was so beautiful, I just thought it would keep going. Oh well.

I had an email this morning from my credit card company saying there was suspicious activity on my card. Oh crap! I called them and talked to a guy named "Andy" who could barely speak english. It turns out the supicious activity was lunch at the Olive Garden restaurant with my family Saturday afternoon. We go there at least twice a month. The other was Netflix. They've been charging my card monthly for a year now.

I guess it's better that they are watching over some charges, but they scared me. I did recently have trouble with my cc. Someone got my number and used it to start a Dish Network account. I'm ashamed to say, I don't always look over my statements (I will now!), but several months of service were charged to me. I had to pay for a few of those months because I reported it too late. :-? So now I have a new card.

So much for my sob story today. It's supposed to be sunny and 70° tomorrow!

I hope you all have a great day! cheesy


Sounds like a bigtime crook, Olive Garden and Netflix, I hope they get him. cheesy
 
Happy Monday! Well I am sick once again. Nothing serious I think its just a cold but I do have a terrible headache and body aches...I hate that! Anyway we are suppose to get some nasty ice tomorrow into Wednesday. Another storm could come in Saturday...PLEASEEE dont snow/ice/sleet anything like that on Saturday. Its my oldest Son's 4th Birthday party and last year we had to cancel and reschdule because we had a blizzard! Hope everyone is doing well!

:tree:

Hope you feel better, and I hope that storm misses you on Sat.
