I knew what you meant - about checking my email FT - but there isn't anything there.
I'm in Ohio - so its almost 3 am for all of us!
I don't have Tay tomorrow - and my son and Patti are going together to get their gun permits .... (don't ask!! LOL) so I'm sleeping in and then cleaning tomorrow!!
yea... I love sleeping in! I haven't been sleeping well cause I've had this stupid icky nose and throat thing going on... and if I do fall asleep I wake back up - but its getting better, so I think I'll be able to sleep in no problem! and then the cleaning when I'm home all alone - with the stereo up... love it!
Night FT - sleep fast!! (didn't I just say that to you last night - or was that someone else?)
Shannon - I guess that since its 3 am I should probably go try to sleep! I need to be up in time to say goodbye to Patti and get my cleaning done, and figure out something good to make for dinner tomorrow night too!
Have a good night! Thanks for the warnings tonight - I appreciate you looking out for me!!
It's weird because the paper I wrote dealt with the issue of power. (I've made some awesome analogies between 'Leviathan' by T. Hobbes - the main topic of the paper - and 'The Prince' by Niccolo Machiavelli :P )
Tonight is the men's free program in figure skating. I hope I won't lose my voodoo powers!
I'm rooting for Lysacek. Plushenko is brilliant technically but artistically he's really so-so compared to both Lysacek and Takahashi. All three of them are really close to each other so anything can happen. (Plushenko is at 90.35, Lysacek at 90.30 and Takahashi at 90.25 if I recall correctly).
Oh yes. I love figure skating and I'm pretty excited about this competition!
(BTW, I can't get enough of watching the video of Brian Joubert falling while performing a triple Lutz. Even the beginning of his program sucks, he completely failed the quadruple axel.)
I'm done talking about figure skating. I promise ;)
lol Corinne - I used to love figure skating, back in the Scottie days!
I do enjoy the falling too - kinda sick like AP but its all good.
The downhill though, they took some nasty spills and that just looks dangerous.
Oh, and Shannon - I call bullshit on you doing the cliff notes and then putting them up on your site - don't you have owners rights or some shit like that. Whatever!
I love the falling in figure skating - when it's a Russian or French skater- but I hate seeing skiers fall. I think it's because I experienced a very bad ski fall and broke my leg- haven't skied since then and it's been 6 years. Anja Pearson's fall was super scary.
Because I am a fundamentally upfront person (or try to be, when I'm at my best), I'm letting you all know that I posted the following at SIP. Also, to be honest, I'm burned out with blogging. I'm taking a break, but I'll peek in at y'all and post if I feel drawn. Not gone forever, just for a while.
"I am publicly asking Won to rescind my invitation. I am fond of everyone here, but the freestyle banning does not suit my needs at the moment.
I've been pretty upfront about my e-mail; those of you who would like to reach me can find me there."
Hi Corinne - thanks, much appreciated and thanks for asking about Lauren. She is scheduled to have her adnoids removed on March 3. She is not a happy camper right now - scared. It's a 30 minute procedure, and she'll miss a few days of school.
Kristin - I read about your little dude's breathing problems. Did the doc tell you to steam up the bathroom and have him sit in there for a while? I have asthma and when I get a bad cold I do that. Get some books, steam it up and just sit in there for a while.
I do have to say that my head is held a little higher due to being one of the original banned :) I'm trying to come up with a good tag for that...Any suggestions.
Hey Margaret - no, they did not mention that but they did mention the humidifier but said use warm instead of cool mist. So that has been going on in his room. He is doing better. He was only wheezing that Saturday and now it is a very productive cough. We have a follow up on Friday.
Deb - I hope the surgery is successful. As I told you before, my sister had that surgery when she was in 5th grade. Hers grew back and had them removed again when she had her tonsils out again. Good luck.
Kristin - I think I was the first officially banned, not that it's a contest or anything:) I was banned shortly after saying "Hi, I'm so glad to see you all" or something to that effect. And I was sorry to lose a lot of you, but I've kept up through a lot of your personal blogs, so in the end I felt okay. Anyhow, I was really bugged at the time, but I'm over it. Hope this doesn't offend those who are still active on SIP or are friends with Won, but to those who were treated badly, I just wanted you to know I understood.
And Lindsey Vonn rocked it last night. I was practically screaming at the end!
Feeling happy, kind of. The sun is rising and beautiful and it's going to be a warm-ish day! How are you - glad it sounds like LM might be on the road to recovery.
Oh, yeah, Sandy I was banned! You didn't know you were covo'ing with a rebel, did you??? I'm kind of glad for AP's impotence - it gives me a chance to be who I really am :)
Morning all! Soooo glad to see Deb here! Welcome Deb! I've missed you a lot and I'm happy happy to see you.
Hi Erin!
It took me a while to catch up this morning with all that happened last night. I'm very sorry to all who were banned, and to all who were not banned but who ended up with bad or hurt feelings, either here or at SIP.
I was really grumpy yesterday, but today is a new day, and it's a beautiful day in Alabama -- it's finally going to warm up here YAY! -- and I'm ready for a stretch of happy. Who's with me?
Lindsay- I remember your being banned. I didn't really know what was going on. I think Won said you weren't posting enough or something? That's a silly reason for banning someone but whatever.
Looking back, I think that Pandora's box was opened at that very moment.
I used to think it was later but the trust issues date back from the very beginning of (S)IP.
Corinne, loved your posts this morning about your voodoo powers and the olympics! I'll be thinking about you tonight. I've been known to have some voodoo powers myself. Together we can make Plushenko fall!! ::cackle::
Really, really well. If you had asked me a month ago if I thought he was making the right decision, I would have said no, but we literally have our life back. It makes me so happy to see him so active and wanting to do things again. He gets his first fill on Friday, so I'm hoping that goes well. He's lost so much weight already though, just from exercising and us totally changing our diet around. Thank you for asking :)
Lindsay - that is good to hear...but I have to admit, I'm lost. I'm sorry :(
SW - yeah for a good day! I can help with voo doo hexes...and I'm sure if we get Tee out, there is bound to be someone she knows that can do one of their witch spells from ol' new orleans :)
Corinne - She may have told y'all that, but I think the bottom line is that she saw me associating with Shana and Jeanette and that was apparently a problem. I guess I couldn't be trusted to be friends with a multitude of people and keep secrets well enough or something. But what *really bothered me is not that I was reprimanded or kicked out, but that Won didn't have the guts to e-mail me, or call me out or anything. I just went to log in and was denied. But water under the bridge as they say.
Hi girls! wow, nice to see so many of the names from the ohih days. been sick for a week and see what happens? AP, loved the caption, where has Tee been anyway?
One more thought on the banning and I'm going to apply duct tape. It's probably too soon now, because we're not all at the point where we can all laugh about it, but some day we should give ourselves awards regarding our SIP departures. Like, best departure speech (I'm not gonna lie; I'll vote for my own); quickest banning (Shannon?); most inexplicable banning (Kristin, obviously); first banning (Lindsay, hat's off to ya hon).
Corinne - I'll be counting on you. I'm sure Plushenko is a nice man and all, but I can't stand looking at him. I don't know, why. That's not very nice of me, is it?
Corrine, I'm not sure I saw your departure speech. I was already gone from SIP. The only fair thing to do re the departure speech category is repost them all so we can all judge. Not that I'm really interested in "fair." I'm in it to win it.
Okay, now I really have to get going. 1/2 hour to get the kids ready and out the door when they're still in their jammies. Yikes! I'll check in from my not busy office :(
O, Lindsay, I understand how you feel. Plushenko's short program was...energy-less. I mean, yes, it was technically very good. His quadruple/triple axel was close to perfect but it was blah artistically talking.
Re Plushenko, did you guys hear what Dick Button was saying about him on the NBC coverage the other night? He thinks Plushenko likes looking like and acting like the villain of the piece. That's his schtick.
Exactly. And he didn't have feathers. I didn't care for his outfit, either. He's just not artistic, I don't think all they way around. Okay, now I'm really gone :)
What happens when you ban everyone - you talk to yourself? I'm a bit amused that Lindsay got banned - never thought of that little blondie as a bad ass.
Goodness - stop talking or I'll never leave!! No, I didn't hear Dick Button say that, but I would have to agree. He's making himself one of those guys you love to hate. Aha! Makes sense to me. Really. Now, I'm gone. I'm not even going to look up after I hit "post".
Man, I have not been following the Olympics at all, other than what has been in the paper. Just too tired at the end of the day. I know I have missed some good stuff, maybe tonight.
Well, I don't need the duct tape. Won is friggin power crazy. I was never on SIPS and honestly wouldn't have joined anyway because I would rather take a needle full of chicken pox to the eyeball than participate anywhere that Won is in charge.
I've been reading and not posting because I'm not in the chattiest of moods but fuck it.. here I am. I am saying how I feel and will own it.
It is the most childish thing I've ever heard to ban Lindsay because she dare associate with me or Shana. Wtf.. The only thing we ever did was fail to kiss Won's ass. Some people need to grow the fuck up and realize that no matter how much you might want it to, the sun does not rise or set on your ass.
so this morning all I could think of about everything that is going on...and how people can't mention that other site...is Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort...and how they always said the name you cannot say.
Yeah, I'm weird.
Hi Jeanette! I think I have a girl crush on you :)
So, besides figure skating, what other competition is happening today? I know there's curling but I'd only watch that if I were suffering from severe insomnia!
I'm sure that there will be some that are offended by what I said.. and that's fine. We are all big girls here and I don't expect anyone to agree with me. I've kept my mouth shut about it for a long time now to try and keep the peace but ffs.. enough is enough.
Suz - I had never had one before either until my office hired someone. I was freaked out at first, and I had a very stressful job - doing payroll. It was difficult to even take the time out of the day to get one, but finally I broke down and did a 30 minute session - you could schedule a 30 minute or an hour - and well - it was awesome. The first couple of times I was uncomfortable for a bit but OH.MY.GOD! Good stuff!
I haven't had but two or three since that time, b/c things like that are a little excessive but it is enjoyable.
Suz, my thought exactly. My sister is fat (like me, though not quite as fat) and she loves to get massages and isn't the least bit self conscious. But I just wouldn't be able to.
SW, I am totally self conscious about it. I mean I know the massage person does not care, but I would wonder if they are saying, "damn this chick is fat, feel that back fat"..lol
I posted the following over at SIP and I will paste the same here: Because I live in a state of transparency, I'm going to state that I will be hanging out here as I usually do, but will probably also be checking out AP's blog as well. I'm a grown up and I like peeps in both camps. I don't like talking smack about anyone except Mck, so I feel like I can play fair in both arenas. If this is a problem, please let me know.
That's how I feel. I don't come online to cause drama but rather to hang out with adults because otherwise, almost all of my waking hours are confined to conversation about sesame street, diapers, and the meaning of the word NO.
suz - i had that same apprehension but got over it pretty quickly. I realized that they had big, fat hairy guys that they probably massage...so I had to be a step up from that.
Hi Bec! How are things on Sesame Street these days? Is cookie monster still around? Because I heard somewhere that someone was concerned that his cookie binging might send the wrong message to kids about food.
Wait, sorry, Sesame Street is what you DON'T want to talk about. Nevermind! :-) Are you watching the Olympics?
Sorry I am in & out today off & on...we have a guest here that I have the pleasure of taking everywhere. It is going to be a lot of walking in bad shoes! Kids have been grounded from the TV so I haven't seen a lot of Olympics stuff until after they go to bed, which I usually fall asleep on; but I will try to check out these costumes tonight!
Bad shoes are bad, Amy. I wear only ugly and comfortable shoes now. Makes life easier.
AP, I forgot to answer your question about sweet potato queen margaritas. It's a recipe from a sweet potato queen cookbook. Four ingredients: one 12 oz container of frozen limeade; 12 oz. tequila; 12 oz Seven Up (I used diet); 12 oz corona beer (or corona light). So you dump the frozen limeade into a pitcher and stir it a little; fill the limeade container with tequila and dump it in and stir, then fill the limeade container with 7 Up and dump it in, then dump in a 12 oz bottle of Corona and stir.
These are great over ice, and they aren't super sweet so I don't use salt. They are a bit fizzy and super easy and delicious. No blending required!
Good morning! I'm sitting here listening to icicles falling from our roof and the apartments beside us, sounds like we are in a war zone or something, the sun is shining so brightly.... its blinding out there!
Okay, I just hit the puke-point. From MckWanker's post today regarding how he married JM for her "beauty," he says this particular gem, amongst others, like when he refers to himself cheerfully as the inferior spouse. Anyway, this: (gag)
She has a literal va-jj. I only sometimes have a figurative one (And yes this is designed as complimentary, being when you're on this side of the gender fence, va-jj's are extraordinarily desirable.).
SW - I've had those margaritas before. I like "beer margaritas" too -- just 2 shots tequila, 2 shots beer (I like cheap, easy, generic like Bud Light) and 2 shots of margarita mix. With a squeeze of lime. Over ice. Yum. But will sneak up and smack you upside the head *fast if you're not paying attention.
Kristin, I want to take the kids on a canoe trip this summer too. So many big plans, so little time.
On the note of comfy shoes, I really only wear running shoes everywhere now. I left my lame shoes in my closet after I lost my job and I'm never looking back. As soon as the snow melts, I will be sporting sandals every day until October.
No serious job leads at the moment, but I've applied for several and Mr Bec's boss is at a conference in Colorado as we speak, pimping my resume to his friends and contacts. I love the guy. He doesn't have to do that but he is because he's a great dude and knows that me not having a job is really stressful for us.
I haven't seen much of Cookie Monster on the current sesame street, but we have DVDs. Oh god.
I think she was pretty before she grew six chins. And I don't mean that as a slam against anyohne who is overweight. Some women carry extra weight, even way too much weight, just fine. And some don't. She doesn't, IMO. I hate that he portrays (or allows her to portray) him as the stereotypical guy who was led by his dick into marriage and that he's just a stupid, stupid guy, not smart enough to pour a bowl of cereal were it not for her, and how thankful he is that she allows him access to her "va-jj". :::shudder::
What bugs me about JM is definitely not the fact that she's overweight, it's her facial features. Plus, I think that once you dislike someone for their personality, you just can't think they are pretty. That's how it is for me anyways.
I think that post was extremely demeaning to IM, that's why I doubt he wrote that.
Everyone is welcome! The only real rules here are no spamming shit and no posting personal addresses, phone numbers or other similar info. I don't need that kind of stress. That's it, although it could change if someone gets creative or something. If you don't like what is said here, you can: 1) Say so; 2) Hold it in and stew on it; 3. Address it privately to the person who said it; 4) Snark about it to your friends; 5) Leave. Don't bother me with it, I don't care and I won't get involved. I might, however, talk about you behind your back or post your email/message to me on here. *grins*
Them's the rules...all of them.
Have fun!

I hate it when I stay up too late and then fall asleep for like 2 hours before my internal alarm clock goes off
Eastern Standard Time. Same as Buffalo, NY.
No, I don't think that age difference is bad!
I knew what you meant - about checking my email FT - but there isn't anything there.
I'm in Ohio - so its almost 3 am for all of us!
I don't have Tay tomorrow - and my son and Patti are going together to get their gun permits .... (don't ask!! LOL) so I'm sleeping in and then cleaning tomorrow!!
Same time zone then, it's 2:53 here.
Lucky you, sleeping in and cleaning. I'd like to do both.
Oh it is still early here....compared to you all it is still yesterday
yea... I love sleeping in! I haven't been sleeping well cause I've had this stupid icky nose and throat thing going on... and if I do fall asleep I wake back up - but its getting better, so I think I'll be able to sleep in no problem! and then the cleaning when I'm home all alone - with the stereo up... love it!
Want me to tell you what happens today Shannon, since I'm already here? :)
Yeah I do Karen I can always use a heads up :)
I'm going to lay down now even if I don't sleep, so goodnight Shannon and Karen, sleep tight.
Night FT try to get some sleep
Night FT - sleep fast!! (didn't I just say that to you last night - or was that someone else?)
Shannon - I guess that since its 3 am I should probably go try to sleep! I need to be up in time to say goodbye to Patti and get my cleaning done, and figure out something good to make for dinner tomorrow night too!
Have a good night! Thanks for the warnings tonight - I appreciate you looking out for me!!
Karen: yup that was me last night too. Goodnight then.
You are welcome Karen....I think I am going to actually go to bed too and wake up in the morning and put on my big girl panties!!!
Me too Shannon!! Goodnight!
good morning ladies!
Looks like i missed some big happenings last night.
I'm sorry but glad you are here!
Hi all.
It looks like I've missed a lot last night. I'm very sorry for those who were banned and those whose feelings were hurt in the process.
Look at it this way, would you stay in a dictatorship if you were offered a way out?
I am pissed that people I've grown to care about were hurt. I am *this* close to being really mean so someone should probably give me some duct tape.
Shannon- I just read your parting comment and I thought it was very dignified. The reason it was deleted is probably because, you know, truth hurts ;)
Anyways, I'm glad many of you found a way here. There are other Sipsters I miss so if you're reading here, just say 'hi' to us.
I should shut up now, or at least drop the matter, because my blood is boiling.
It's weird because the paper I wrote dealt with the issue of power. (I've made some awesome analogies between 'Leviathan' by T. Hobbes - the main topic of the paper - and 'The Prince' by Niccolo Machiavelli :P )
SW- My own voodoo powers scare me. I was really rooting for Lindsey Vonn to win the gold medal and I think I made Anja Pearson fall.
J/K. :D
That said, I was in pain for her. Did you see how hard she fell?
You know what was funny? The French skier who fell right away. OMG. It looked like a rookie mistake.
hey corinne - yeah, it sucks for those ladies.
I'm a little upset too that so many caring ladies were hurt in the process.
I will keep my duct tape tightly placed over my mouth....well for right now anyway.
*see ya in a bit.
Corinne - did you subconsciously use your voodoo powers on some of us? So that we would have more time to read here?
alright, going to do shoes and then I'm out!
See ya in a bit!
CK- Oh no. I wouldn't do that to you! I just use my voodoo powers for the Olympics or else, it becomes dangerous :P
Later ladies. Have a day...
See you later, CK!
Corinne - I think your voo doo powers are stronger than you think.
Kristin- Yes. It's scary, I tell you :P
Tonight is the men's free program in figure skating. I hope I won't lose my voodoo powers!
I'm rooting for Lysacek. Plushenko is brilliant technically but artistically he's really so-so compared to both Lysacek and Takahashi. All three of them are really close to each other so anything can happen. (Plushenko is at 90.35, Lysacek at 90.30 and Takahashi at 90.25 if I recall correctly).

Oh, and Shannon - I call bullshit on you doing the cliff notes and then putting them up on your site - don't you have owners rights or some shit like that. Whatever!
::damn - where's the duct tape?
::passing the duct tape to Kristin::
I love the falling in figure skating - when it's a Russian or French skater- but I hate seeing skiers fall. I think it's because I experienced a very bad ski fall and broke my leg- haven't skied since then and it's been 6 years. Anja Pearson's fall was super scary.
WOW - its quiet this morning!
Because I am a fundamentally upfront person (or try to be, when I'm at my best), I'm letting you all know that I posted the following at SIP. Also, to be honest, I'm burned out with blogging. I'm taking a break, but I'll peek in at y'all and post if I feel drawn. Not gone forever, just for a while.
"I am publicly asking Won to rescind my invitation. I am fond of everyone here, but the freestyle banning does not suit my needs at the moment.
I've been pretty upfront about my e-mail; those of you who would like to reach me can find me there."
For anyone who asks why I C&P this here...I wanted to be clear that this was my own action; I wasn't banned because I did anything "wrong."
BD - do what you need to do. We will be here.
I hope the infection goes away and that you find a suitable name for it :)
Take care of yourself!
Kristin- It is. But you learn very interesting things if you look at the sitemeter.
Bd- I understand how you feel and I agree with you re: freestyle banning.
(((hugs))) and I hope the infection from your incision clears up soon.
Good morning all.
I am sure I will be one of those not *totally welcome here, but I miss so many of you at SIP.
When I first found out about this site, it took me a while to read it, then saw a lot of the comments and decided it would be a tough crowd to join.
But, I will read, and maybe participate if the time is right.
If you have a problem with me personally, just e-mail me, it's on my profile. We can take care of things privately.
Hi Deb. I think everyone is welcome here :)
How are you? How is Lauren?
Hi Corinne - thanks, much appreciated and thanks for asking about Lauren. She is scheduled to have her adnoids removed on March 3. She is not a happy camper right now - scared. It's a 30 minute procedure, and she'll miss a few days of school.
Deb- I hope the surgery will solve her problems!
What is with all the rapid fire banning on other sites? Kristin - I thought you were the chief bad ass :)
I wonder where SW is hiding? We need to talk about the Olympics!
Margaret- Paranoia is the answer to your question ;)
Kristin - I read about your little dude's breathing problems. Did the doc tell you to steam up the bathroom and have him sit in there for a while? I have asthma and when I get a bad cold I do that. Get some books, steam it up and just sit in there for a while.
Olympic talk - I loved seeing the US women fly down the hill last night!
Good Morning. Hi Deb :)
Margaret, the rapid-fire banning is based out of fear IMO, but we all know Kristin is a bad-ass :)
Good morning...I'm waiting on my coffee to start working. It's not yet.
I do have to say that my head is held a little higher due to being one of the original banned :) I'm trying to come up with a good tag for that...Any suggestions.
Hey Margaret - no, they did not mention that but they did mention the humidifier but said use warm instead of cool mist. So that has been going on in his room. He is doing better. He was only wheezing that Saturday and now it is a very productive cough. We have a follow up on Friday.
Deb - I hope the surgery is successful. As I told you before, my sister had that surgery when she was in 5th grade. Hers grew back and had them removed again when she had her tonsils out again. Good luck.
Btw Deb - you have e-mail!
Hi Christy!
Hi Amy!
Hi Christy, Hi Amy!
Margaret- Both Vonn and Mancuso were amazing yesterday!
Yes, my heart was beating fast while I was watching. Amazing. I was really hoping that Vonn would do well!
Good morning, all!
Deb -- I am happy to see you. :)
Good morning everybody!
Hey Deb! *I am happy to see you for sure.
Kristin - I think I was the first officially banned, not that it's a contest or anything:) I was banned shortly after saying "Hi, I'm so glad to see you all" or something to that effect. And I was sorry to lose a lot of you, but I've kept up through a lot of your personal blogs, so in the end I felt okay. Anyhow, I was really bugged at the time, but I'm over it. Hope this doesn't offend those who are still active on SIP or are friends with Won, but to those who were treated badly, I just wanted you to know I understood.
And Lindsey Vonn rocked it last night. I was practically screaming at the end!
Oh true FF! My bad!
I'm still going to hold my head up high and smile.
How are you today my hip sister?
Morning!
Lindsay, you got banned? I would never ban you! LOL. Watch out for AP though...rofl.
::Waving at AP::
Feeling happy, kind of. The sun is rising and beautiful and it's going to be a warm-ish day! How are you - glad it sounds like LM might be on the road to recovery.
Oh, yeah, Sandy I was banned! You didn't know you were covo'ing with a rebel, did you??? I'm kind of glad for AP's impotence - it gives me a chance to be who I really am :)
You rebel Lindsay!!! Now I feel like I'm running with the bad girls. lol.
Yup - you are running with the wrong crowd girl! lol
Lindsay - I'm cold but it too looks like it will be a great day. The sun is shining here too. LM woke up in a good mood, early, but in a good mood.
It's my moms birthday today, I am going to go get her a present this afternoon.
All is good!
Good Morning!
Hi Erin :) I'm so happy to see you, too!
Kristin - are you guys having a party for your mom?
Hey EL!
Lindsay - we are on Sunday. Actually yesterday was my BIL's b-day so we are doing a birthday for both on Sunday.
Erin - is it weird that I keep thinking of you while watching the Olympic ice skating???? It kind of cracks me up.
Lindsay- I know! I feel so special each winter olympic season!
How is your husband doing?
Morning all! Soooo glad to see Deb here! Welcome Deb! I've missed you a lot and I'm happy happy to see you.
Hi Erin!
It took me a while to catch up this morning with all that happened last night. I'm very sorry to all who were banned, and to all who were not banned but who ended up with bad or hurt feelings, either here or at SIP.
I was really grumpy yesterday, but today is a new day, and it's a beautiful day in Alabama -- it's finally going to warm up here YAY! -- and I'm ready for a stretch of happy. Who's with me?
Lindsay- I remember your being banned. I didn't really know what was going on. I think Won said you weren't posting enough or something? That's a silly reason for banning someone but whatever.
Looking back, I think that Pandora's box was opened at that very moment.
I used to think it was later but the trust issues date back from the very beginning of (S)IP.
Kristin- Happy Birthday to your mom!
Corinne, loved your posts this morning about your voodoo powers and the olympics! I'll be thinking about you tonight. I've been known to have some voodoo powers myself. Together we can make Plushenko fall!! ::cackle::
SW- you were grumpy from lack of sister wife!
Really, really well. If you had asked me a month ago if I thought he was making the right decision, I would have said no, but we literally have our life back. It makes me so happy to see him so active and wanting to do things again. He gets his first fill on Friday, so I'm hoping that goes well. He's lost so much weight already though, just from exercising and us totally changing our diet around. Thank you for asking :)
BD, your SIP goodbye was short and to the point. I understand your need to take a blog break, but I hope that you will be back soon, sans infection.
Regardless, I intend to stalk you via e-mail and FB. You will find me hard to dump. ;-)
EL, You are so right! And speaking of sister wives. Jill has not been here for days. I've been calling her. Jill! Jill?
Lindsay - that is good to hear...but I have to admit, I'm lost. I'm sorry :(
SW - yeah for a good day! I can help with voo doo hexes...and I'm sure if we get Tee out, there is bound to be someone she knows that can do one of their witch spells from ol' new orleans :)
Corinne - She may have told y'all that, but I think the bottom line is that she saw me associating with Shana and Jeanette and that was apparently a problem. I guess I couldn't be trusted to be friends with a multitude of people and keep secrets well enough or something. But what *really bothered me is not that I was reprimanded or kicked out, but that Won didn't have the guts to e-mail me, or call me out or anything. I just went to log in and was denied. But water under the bridge as they say.
Hi EL!!!
Kristin - My hubby had the lap band put in last month.
Hi girls!
wow, nice to see so many of the names from the ohih days. been sick for a week and see what happens?
AP, loved the caption, where has Tee been anyway?
One more thought on the banning and I'm going to apply duct tape. It's probably too soon now, because we're not all at the point where we can all laugh about it, but some day we should give ourselves awards regarding our SIP departures. Like, best departure speech (I'm not gonna lie; I'll vote for my own); quickest banning (Shannon?); most inexplicable banning (Kristin, obviously); first banning (Lindsay, hat's off to ya hon).
Laughter is the best medicine, you know.
Lindsay- I see. Why am I not surprised by the cowardice of it all?
SW- I have to gather all my energy. Plushenko really has to fall. Or at least perform poorly. :P
Hey suz! Sorry you were sick!
Gotcha Lindsay! Glad things are going well :)
I totally feel you on the no explanation thing. And yes, water under the bridge.
Thanks, SW. I'll be working on my speech as it's been a couple of months . . . Now, where's that duct tape???
Rest up today, Corinne. You can do it!
Corinne - I'll be counting on you. I'm sure Plushenko is a nice man and all, but I can't stand looking at him. I don't know, why. That's not very nice of me, is it?
But, SW...What about my departure speech? I thought it was really good too! ::pout::
J/K
I'm sure one day we'll all laugh about it!
Corrine, I'm not sure I saw your departure speech. I was already gone from SIP. The only fair thing to do re the departure speech category is repost them all so we can all judge. Not that I'm really interested in "fair." I'm in it to win it.
corinne - I'm laughing now...not sure what you are talking about!
Okay, now I really have to get going. 1/2 hour to get the kids ready and out the door when they're still in their jammies. Yikes! I'll check in from my not busy office :(
O, Lindsay, I understand how you feel. Plushenko's short program was...energy-less. I mean, yes, it was technically very good. His quadruple/triple axel was close to perfect but it was blah artistically talking.
Re Plushenko, did you guys hear what Dick Button was saying about him on the NBC coverage the other night? He thinks Plushenko likes looking like and acting like the villain of the piece. That's his schtick.
Hi Kristin,
glad your little woke up happy today. I am sure that is a good start to the day.
Happy birthday to you mom!
bye lindsay and good luck!
Thanks Suz!
Exactly. And he didn't have feathers. I didn't care for his outfit, either. He's just not artistic, I don't think all they way around. Okay, now I'm really gone :)
SW- Yes. That's what we should do ;)
Although, I think Bd and Shannon would be fierce competitors for the both of us. Their speech were *good.
What happens when you ban everyone - you talk to yourself? I'm a bit amused that Lindsay got banned - never thought of that little blondie as a bad ass.
Confession:
I really liked Takahashi's short program...
Goodness - stop talking or I'll never leave!! No, I didn't hear Dick Button say that, but I would have to agree. He's making himself one of those guys you love to hate. Aha! Makes sense to me. Really. Now, I'm gone. I'm not even going to look up after I hit "post".
what did you think abut weir?
Now that was an outfit!
Man, I have not been following the Olympics at all, other than what has been in the paper. Just too tired at the end of the day. I know I have missed some good stuff, maybe tonight.
Well, I don't need the duct tape. Won is friggin power crazy. I was never on SIPS and honestly wouldn't have joined anyway because I would rather take a needle full of chicken pox to the eyeball than participate anywhere that Won is in charge.
I've been reading and not posting because I'm not in the chattiest of moods but fuck it.. here I am. I am saying how I feel and will own it.
It is the most childish thing I've ever heard to ban Lindsay because she dare associate with me or Shana. Wtf.. The only thing we ever did was fail to kiss Won's ass. Some people need to grow the fuck up and realize that no matter how much you might want it to, the sun does not rise or set on your ass.
Concerning Jill:
The high school for which she works lost a student to a murder-suicide shooting so this must be a sad day for them all :(
Oh, Good Morning everyone! Lovely day isn't it?
Jeanette- Well said.
so this morning all I could think of about everything that is going on...and how people can't mention that other site...is Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort...and how they always said the name you cannot say.
Yeah, I'm weird.
Hi Jeanette! I think I have a girl crush on you :)
I hope Shana doesn't come out to kick my ass for saying that!
Kristin- Lol @ your analogy.
So, besides figure skating, what other competition is happening today? I know there's curling but I'd only watch that if I were suffering from severe insomnia!
LOL Kristin. She just might!
I'm sure that there will be some that are offended by what I said.. and that's fine. We are all big girls here and I don't expect anyone to agree with me. I've kept my mouth shut about it for a long time now to try and keep the peace but ffs.. enough is enough.
Sorry AP, I think I broke your blog.
I am so in love with the feathers on Lysachek's costume, and the tassle on Weir's. I loved Weir, and thought he was scored inexplicably low.
Jeanette- No way you broke it. We're still here ;)
SW- I didn't see Weir so I can't judge. But you're right, I <3 Lysacek's costume. I don't know why but it made me think of "the raven" by E.A. Poe.
Jeanette,
Well said indeed. And good morning to you too!
Hey Corinne!
Lindsay- glad it is going better for him. and glad it is a positive for all of you.
Okay...have to run!
Jeanette - you didn't run me off either. I'm here too.
bye EL!
good to *see you today!
Oh, and my stepdad is awesome!
He bought my mom a massage package - A massage once a month....forever!
Yeah, I'm jealous!
Dick Button. ::giggles::
ummmm SW - you said the "s" word!
lol!
sorry, just poking fun...oh damn....pass the duct tape!
Kristin, sounds like a nice gift for your mom. I have never had a massage, I think I would like it but just never took the time to do it.
Corinne, Vera Wang made Lysacek's costume. The Today Show had a whole segment on her and the costume. Loved it!
RiM- You had me laughing. Again.
Kristin- Just know that I am jealous of your mom's gift from your stepdad.
SW- Vera Wang did an amazing job! Lysacek is so thin that it fit him perfectly and really added a dimension to his program!
Can you tell I loved it? ;)
Suz - I had never had one before either until my office hired someone. I was freaked out at first, and I had a very stressful job - doing payroll. It was difficult to even take the time out of the day to get one, but finally I broke down and did a 30 minute session - you could schedule a 30 minute or an hour - and well - it was awesome. The first couple of times I was uncomfortable for a bit but OH.MY.GOD! Good stuff!
I haven't had but two or three since that time, b/c things like that are a little excessive but it is enjoyable.
Kristin, how sweet of your step dad! That's very cool.
Kristin, the key for me would be finding someone you trust to touch you. I won't let just anyone touch my fat ass..lol..
Suz, my thought exactly. My sister is fat (like me, though not quite as fat) and she loves to get massages and isn't the least bit self conscious. But I just wouldn't be able to.
SW,
I am totally self conscious about it. I mean I know the massage person does not care, but I would wonder if they are saying, "damn this chick is fat, feel that back fat"..lol
Hello, all.
I posted the following over at SIP and I will paste the same here:
Because I live in a state of transparency, I'm going to state that I will be hanging out here as I usually do, but will probably also be checking out AP's blog as well. I'm a grown up and I like peeps in both camps. I don't like talking smack about anyone except Mck, so I feel like I can play fair in both arenas. If this is a problem, please let me know.
That's how I feel. I don't come online to cause drama but rather to hang out with adults because otherwise, almost all of my waking hours are confined to conversation about sesame street, diapers, and the meaning of the word NO.
suz - i had that same apprehension but got over it pretty quickly. I realized that they had big, fat hairy guys that they probably massage...so I had to be a step up from that.
Anywho, I just lost my appetite...sorry ladies!
Hey Bec!
How are you? I've been thinking about you, especially now that I'm considering taking LM canoeing.
How is the job search going? Any new leads?
I hope all is well and I feel your pain.. LM is in the why stage? ugh!
Hi Bec! How are things on Sesame Street these days? Is cookie monster still around? Because I heard somewhere that someone was concerned that his cookie binging might send the wrong message to kids about food.
Wait, sorry, Sesame Street is what you DON'T want to talk about. Nevermind! :-) Are you watching the Olympics?
Seriously good point, Kristin. Hairy back fat is WAY worse than hairless back fat. IMHO.
alright ladies, I'm off to run some errands.
Be back later - behave!
Hairy back fat. Ick.
Bye Kristin!
Sorry I am in & out today off & on...we have a guest here that I have the pleasure of taking everywhere. It is going to be a lot of walking in bad shoes! Kids have been grounded from the TV so I haven't seen a lot of Olympics stuff until after they go to bed, which I usually fall asleep on; but I will try to check out these costumes tonight!
Hey girls!
Oh now I know there is a name I missed seeing, HiT, nice to "see" you again.
Bad shoes are bad, Amy. I wear only ugly and comfortable shoes now. Makes life easier.
AP, I forgot to answer your question about sweet potato queen margaritas. It's a recipe from a sweet potato queen cookbook. Four ingredients: one 12 oz container of frozen limeade; 12 oz. tequila; 12 oz Seven Up (I used diet); 12 oz corona beer (or corona light). So you dump the frozen limeade into a pitcher and stir it a little; fill the limeade container with tequila and dump it in and stir, then fill the limeade container with 7 Up and dump it in, then dump in a 12 oz bottle of Corona and stir.
These are great over ice, and they aren't super sweet so I don't use salt. They are a bit fizzy and super easy and delicious. No blending required!
Hi HiT! How are things in Texas today? Is it warming up there too?
Hi Bec & HiT!
Amy- definitely check out the costumes if you have time!
Warming up a bit. It was gorgeous yesterday. Too bad I was stuck at work.
Hi Corrine, SW, and suz!
SW- These sweet potato queen margaritas sound delish. Too bad I don't drink during the week days because I want one ;)
Good morning! I'm sitting here listening to icicles falling from our roof and the apartments beside us, sounds like we are in a war zone or something, the sun is shining so brightly.... its blinding out there!
How is everyone today!
Okay, I just hit the puke-point. From MckWanker's post today regarding how he married JM for her "beauty," he says this particular gem, amongst others, like when he refers to himself cheerfully as the inferior spouse. Anyway, this: (gag)
She has a literal va-jj. I only sometimes have a figurative one (And yes this is designed as complimentary, being when you're on this side of the gender fence, va-jj's are extraordinarily desirable.).
SW - I've had those margaritas before. I like "beer margaritas" too -- just 2 shots tequila, 2 shots beer (I like cheap, easy, generic like Bud Light) and 2 shots of margarita mix. With a squeeze of lime. Over ice. Yum. But will sneak up and smack you upside the head *fast if you're not paying attention.
SW...I'm glad you explained that drink. I was imagining sweet potatoes in it.
I'm in and out, too keeping up with a busy 12 month old.
A new Mckdaddy post is up. No way, IM wrote that. It is basically an overadulating ode to JM.
Rim, yuck and yuck on that post of IM's.
Hi Karen! Robin, I couldn't make myself click through to hear RV wax poetic about Mck. I do think that she's pretty though. ::ducking::
Hi Karen!
Sw- No need to duck! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I mean, your future wife has a thing for IM so... ;)
Kristin, I want to take the kids on a canoe trip this summer too. So many big plans, so little time.
On the note of comfy shoes, I really only wear running shoes everywhere now. I left my lame shoes in my closet after I lost my job and I'm never looking back. As soon as the snow melts, I will be sporting sandals every day until October.
No serious job leads at the moment, but I've applied for several and Mr Bec's boss is at a conference in Colorado as we speak, pimping my resume to his friends and contacts. I love the guy. He doesn't have to do that but he is because he's a great dude and knows that me not having a job is really stressful for us.
I haven't seen much of Cookie Monster on the current sesame street, but we have DVDs. Oh god.
I think she was pretty before she grew six chins. And I don't mean that as a slam against anyohne who is overweight. Some women carry extra weight, even way too much weight, just fine. And some don't. She doesn't, IMO. I hate that he portrays (or allows her to portray) him as the stereotypical guy who was led by his dick into marriage and that he's just a stupid, stupid guy, not smart enough to pour a bowl of cereal were it not for her, and how thankful he is that she allows him access to her "va-jj". :::shudder::
WTF???????????? I just puked in my mouth.
LOL Robin! You skinny girls are such mean bitches! :-D
They seem to have a very parent-child type of relationship, IMO.
RiM, "not smart enough to pour a bowl of cereal" lol..
What bugs me about JM is definitely not the fact that she's overweight, it's her facial features. Plus, I think that once you dislike someone for their personality, you just can't think they are pretty. That's how it is for me anyways.
I think that post was extremely demeaning to IM, that's why I doubt he wrote that.
Skinny girls? ::makes note to make sure the live cam is pointed the opposite direction when I head into town::::
I agree with you Corinne, when you like someone, even if they're objectively ugly, they become pretty to you, and vice versa.
*** new post ***
HiT - it is gorgeous out and it sucks b/c I too am inside :(
How are you today?
...catching up!
Hi Karen!
