Impressive, Melissa. ;-) Yes, I signed up for the World Market Explorer Club and get emails and such from them! They actually have pretty good specials, don't they?
I've impressed with the coupons and things that they've sent me. I really love the one for the 2 for $10 on the 3 pound bag of Ghiradelli chocolate chips.
I've got to go check those before I go. I'm after more products in the perfume scent I got last time. I also want to spend more time with their spices and we got a bad of chips...sweet Thai something? I need more of those. Yes, need.
I haven't looked in to their perfumes and things. I think I sense a WM trip in the future. I've gotten a few spices from there-mainly vanilla and a couple of other ones. I did grab some of the jars of roasted tomatoes and bell peppers to try sometime.
I'm all for the ark. Or maybe I'll just go swimming instead. Unfortunately, where I work is near a major road that is under construction so it's really been interesting trying to get in and out of the parking lot.
It just stinks because I help everyone out and no one sends me anything. My husband can gift the horseshoe but not again until tomorrow. So I guess I wait! LOL
I'm confused. In the last thread Robin did some pointed ::ignoring:: of BD and OD addressed BD, but BD hadn't posted yet. Not necessarily my business, hey, I'm nosy. What was that about?
I'm afraid one of y'all will have to help Sandy...I can't get my gift thingie to open. It just goes to a blank screen. Sorry, Sandy!
SW, CW, etc., BD accidentally posted using the wrong name so we got rid of them. And no, it wasn't "Krista", although that would have been terribly funny and shocking!
Back, and we didn't go for the walk yet. The shelter doesn't open until 1:00. So we got Subway for lunch later on. Geez, nonstop excitement 'round here. Not. lol.
I would help Sandy, but I can only send harnesses and nails. Now I am heading back to lurking in occasionally because I have a lot more house to clean. :)
So, SW & AP, you're moving to Belgium? AP, I think you'd like the weather but not so much the social security, funding of universities by our government, socialists ruling Wallonia, etc. Heck, I don't like the socialists.
RiM-I dunno. I'm just kind of *whatever about all of them. I do like Andrew Garcia. He reminds me of Danny Gokey from last year. But the girls...what can I say about them. They're just blah for me. Maybe I'm in a AI funk.
Melissa, I think you are in a funk. ::nods almost like a doctor:::
I love the girls. Well, not all of them. I really like Crystal Bowersox and am looking forward to the day when the Crest Whitestrips the producers are undoubtedly gluing to her teeth 24/7 begin to kick in. I also really like that little Siobahn or however you spell her name. I like her quirkiness. LIke Didi a lot. Can't stand Lacey.
I like Andrew Garcia a lot, but he just keeps bombing one week after the next and I worry about that. Love the Casey guy with the guitar and a couple other whose names I can't remember. I read that a lot of people thought Todrick rocked the Queen song, but I thought he sucked bad.
The girl that got the boot last last night, shocked me. I loved her and thought she was a contender to win. I guess she was too quirky for the stupid tweens controlling the vote.
SW- Oh, but the socialists here suck, big time! I hate, hate, hate them.
I'm a bleeding-heart liberal but, here, that means I vote for a right-wing party. The American definition of Socialism and the Belgian/European one are very different. (The democrat party in the US is considered left-wing, right? Well, if they were to apply their ideology in Belgium, they would be thought to be very right-wing).
I think that's my problem - I just don't like Todrick. Something about his mannerisms or something grate on me. I'm just a judgemental cow like that. :-D
I think that Todrick is just a little too theatrical for AI. But I wasn't on the Adam Lambert train either-if that explains anything. I just don't care for the over the top dramatics I guess. Crystal is actually starting to grow on me. I didn't care for her at first but as the weeks go by I'm liking her more and more. Didi reminds me of Megan Joy and what's her name from last year. I didn't like either of them. They're very...hmm....dunno what the word I'm looking for is....hippie-like for lack of a better word.
Todrick Hall (Queen rocker) Lilly Scott (my second favorite girl, to Bowersox) Alex Lambert (meh) Katelyn Epperly (lots of very curly blonde hair, also meh for me)
SW - Well, at least with Adam Lambert, if you adopted him, you wouldn't have to buy a leash since he already has one. :-)
(I did really like him, too.)
And Lily Scott was probably my second favorite, too. I am shocked. Katelyn was meh for me as well. She's gotten too comfortable with flipping that curly blonde hair around to get her way all the time and forgot she had to *sing.
I think that maybe AI needs to reevaluate the way that they showcase the contestants during the prelim auditions, etc. Maybe if they focused less on individual stories and instead focused on the singing the talent may be a lot more diverse.
CK-I googled searched to see if I could find an answer for you. Half of what I found said that they were brothers but the other half said that there was no relation. I'll let you come to your own conclusion!
I am reasonably sure they said on AI itself that there was no relation between the two Lamberts, back when Alex auditioned.
Kristin - sorry you're feeling like crap. I have terrible problems with allergies, but I find black colored mold all over this house and I suspect that's a lot of my problem. I would die without Vick's nose spray at night.
Sandy - you have me cracking up! How does FB eat a horseshoe?
Although last week or so, when I decided to get back involved with Farmville - I had over 60 gifts and it wouldn't let me accept them. It kept taking me to farmville itself - Farmville had a note that said they were working on the problem but after 5 days of trying I ended up ignoring a bunch of gifts :( and I really wanted an elephant.
Here's a question for you ... if someone told you that you were "not 'pretty,' like you think of in those terms, but you're 'very striking'", how would you take that?
Robin, I would take "very striking" as a compliment. But it reminds me of a very funny joke from the Facts of Life (oh, how I loved that show) back in the early 80's. At the time the Polish workers had been in a very public strike for a long time, and Lech Walesa was their leader. So Blair Warner on FOL and some long brown haired chick from the first or second season were fighting over the same guy, and the brown haired chick said "He said I was striking," and Blair answered, "Like the Polish Auto Workers"?
Lord, when you explain a joke like that, it doesn't have any funny left, does it. But it was very funny to me at the time, and I still remember it almost 30 years later.
That is funny but I am still laughing at my sister and her pregnancy brain - she got a mailing address and the lady spelled the name - LEOPARD st - and my sister says "123 LEO Pard St" and the lady was "no, like 123 leopard st" - I'm still giggling and making fun of her.
I'm such a mean big sister.
Although she is rude b/c she says she is no longer saying "bless you" when I sneeze b/c I might get her sick.
I shall reveal the mystery. I accidentally posted under my real name, which many of you know, but which I don't want to post here. The whole reason I originally started going by Belladonna (an old nickname) is because I noticed a couple of my students on BlogFrog. I do not want them to know anything about my life outside the classroom because, well, because I like my privacy.
That's all AP was doing, taking down my posts which were headed by my real name.
I'm here FT, Hi! And Hiya Christy! I've got Fridayitis bad, and want to leave. But need to get two things to clients before I do.
I made a liquor store run at lunch to buy rum, gin, and triple sec for my long island ice teas. Already had enough tequila and vodka. Lots of kinds of liquor in those!
Kristin and Sandy - so sorry you are still sick. I am bit better but still stuffed up. Having coffee and getting ready to head in this evening. I am in charge. Bleck.
SW - Your breakfast sounded interesting and I am glad you found it so, too. Loved your 0/1 story. Have a nice time with your dinner tomorrow - your menu is perfect.
Karen - I enjoyed your pics! Perfect spot to sit and enjoy the sun. And Tay is adorable.
Spokane addendum - I went to nursing school there, hung out with a bunch of Gonzaga law students. Studied with them at the local pool hall. Good times, good times! I love the rolling wheat fields of the Palouse :-D
AP - What is "LFOB" ? Definitely Seattle for you and SW :-D
Hi SW! I'm off to music lessons now, my kids are already there and mine starts very soon. I will only be there a few more weeks actually, I may start again in the fall but I just way too busy to dedicate much time to this right now, so it's just throwing money out.
Hey Kristin - I am an ICU nurse in a Medical/Surgical/Trauma/Neuro ICU - basically everything except Cardiac. Started out in Cardiac, but got tired of just doing post Open Heart and Balloon pumps. We only do adults and so I am worthless when it comes to baby or OB stuff! Did you get my e-mail?
Hi Bella! Happy weekend! Mine hasn't started yet. I got another hour or so of work and then need to talk myself into Friday afternoon grocery shopping. Shudder.
No worries Bella - seems par for the course - LM was sick, sister is sick, BIL is sick (or was), co-worker is sick - now I'm sick and preggo sis is threatening me - she better not get sick :)
Dang, Bella! That's exactly what I want to do. But I need to make a pie tonight and need those ingredients. Maybe I'll wait until 8:00 or so to go, after the crowd is gone.
I've already put this grocery trip off twice. I was going to go last night. Then I was going to go at lunch today. Then after work. Now who knows? I hate grocery shopping so damn bad!
I just tossed some fresh blueberries with cornstarch and sugar, topped it with homemade streusel, and put it in the oven. Here's hoping the fly-by-night blueberry crisp ends up tasting good. I have to call MR. BD and ask him to pick up some vanilla ice cream.
I will have you know that I had a big piece of the crisp, and it is magnificent.
Next time I might add a third pint of blueberries, and perhaps some lemon zest to make the blueberries bolder. Otherwise, I'm delighted with the outcome.
Got home and was putting away groceries - LM wanted everything I was putting away - so he had a smorgasbord - banana, strawberries, grapes, crackers and cheese. I realized he had no meat so I made a turkey hot dog and he ate most of it.
I on the other hand have no appetite and may just heat up some soup. I want sleep. Is it 8:00 yet?
He did Christy - he came inside and said with his hands behind his back "I have a peasant for you mommee" and I said "what is it?" and he gave me 2 little itty bitty flowers (weeds) so I gave him a kiss on the cheek and said thank you.
About 5 minutes later he came back in and said the same thing, I played along and said "what is it?" and he gave me 2 more small flowers and then he kissed me on the cheek - so sweet.
Then he came back in, said he had another present and gave me this whole handful - roots and all - of grass, weed and flower. Cute and sweet!
SW, I wish I could do that shopping for you. They know me by name at Publix. :-X It's like an addiction...I had to force myself to not go today. I just love grocery stores.
It's weird around here today,...Jake left at noon for Megacon (with a sundress, a fur jacket, platform boots and a wide stretch belt, among other fashionable items. Oh, and carrying a purse...lol. I'm loving being alone and not wearing a bra but I miss his voice. I spent the afternoon in the recliner eating jambalaya (Zatarain's) and watching RuPaul's Drag Show and then Flashdance. Can y'all believe I'd never seen Flashdance? Anyway, I hope he doesn't get killed or arrested tonight.
Basically just not listening - he had a capri sun and he was done and he threw it at me, I picked it up and told him to throw it away and he said NO! So I told him again and he told me NO! again in which I told him he better do it or he was going to get a smack on the bottom - in which he just looked at me. Then I started counting - and he went to the kitchen to throw it away!
This Emmitt thing is pretty interesting. He is going into the slave days - he has has found mulatto - and is trying to trace it back - interesting - saying that horses were treated better than the slaves.
CK, I'd dearly love to run into her and the kids, just so I could gauge them for myself.
Kristin, I've got very, very deep southern roots, including slaves. There was a lot of ugliness, no question, but there were a lot of good, decent owners, too. More, most likely. I say that in *no way* condoning owning another person at all, but the idea that all slaves were treated poorly isn't exactly factual. So many were not. I just felt the need to throw that bit of randomness out there for you. :-)
You bitches kill me. I posted the SIP member list the other day to point out the irony of the dessert gals getting banned in light of the large number of inactive SIP posters. I got most of those people banned from SIP as a result. Your fucking welcome. Then you losers whine and bitch like I came HERE to stir up trouble. Idiots. I don’t care enough about you to make trouble for you. The message wasn’t for YOU, don’t you get it?
Here’s an updated list of the last few SIPsters clinging to the Titanic:

Oh, and for those of you who wanted more cussing from me, you can go fuck yourselves you skanky low life no life husband bashing whores. I don’t have time for you losers and your loser games.
I may have time for Won’s loser games though. Stay tuned.
He was just talking to this historian and Emmitt was trying to trace his ancestors back to Africa and the guy held up a book of horses and stated that the book showed the lineage back to England.
And Emmitt just traced his great x 6 back to a white man who sold his daughter and her mother for a saddle and a horse - but it appears that he sold it to his son - the son seemed to be kind - and it was said - sensed that this was his sister - and then another historian said how unusual it was for Mariah - the slave owners daughter - to keep her family intact. She apparently named her second child, a girl - Mary - the name of her father's wife.
It is all just really interesting.
They just said that Emmitt is 81% african and that is one of the highest percentages she's seen.
Oh, and it doesn't say...but the really weird thing is he found a lot of info was found in book 22 - which is Emmitt's number, his NFL number and the number he has always worn.
CK, I honestly don't even know where to start except that I find it very weird that "eau" is off the new list but I see everyone else still there, I think.

Well, just to clarify the obvious, everyone knows Robin and I have been good friends for years but she certainly isn't mole-ing to me and I'll swear to that. I've never asked her to or wanted her to, nor has she offered. She chose to stay there when I left and we chose to not put her in that position since she genuinely wanted to stay. I guess there's no way to prove that though, unless someone is better with that sitemeter than I am and can verify I never signed out. Plus, she can spell.
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!

Impressive, Melissa. ;-) Yes, I signed up for the World Market Explorer Club and get emails and such from them! They actually have pretty good specials, don't they?
I've impressed with the coupons and things that they've sent me. I really love the one for the 2 for $10 on the 3 pound bag of Ghiradelli chocolate chips.
3 pound-geez I wish! I think it's actually a 36 ounce bag. Anyway, it's something like that.
I've got to go check those before I go. I'm after more products in the perfume scent I got last time. I also want to spend more time with their spices and we got a bad of chips...sweet Thai something? I need more of those. Yes, need.
Are you ready to build an ark yet?
I haven't looked in to their perfumes and things. I think I sense a WM trip in the future. I've gotten a few spices from there-mainly vanilla and a couple of other ones. I did grab some of the jars of roasted tomatoes and bell peppers to try sometime.
I'm all for the ark. Or maybe I'll just go swimming instead. Unfortunately, where I work is near a major road that is under construction so it's really been interesting trying to get in and out of the parking lot.
OT but I need one stinking horseshoe on Farmville to complete my stupid stable. UGH! Back to your regular schedule programming.
Sandy-If I knew how to help you on Farmville I would. I just started a farm on there last Sunday and i'm still trying to figure it all out.
It just stinks because I help everyone out and no one sends me anything. My husband can gift the horseshoe but not again until tomorrow. So I guess I wait! LOL
Sandy, if you want to friend me right quick, I can send you one (I think, anyway). Email me at anemonepie at yahoo and I'll tell you how to find me.
AP-you have mail.
I'm confused. In the last thread Robin did some pointed ::ignoring:: of BD and OD addressed BD, but BD hadn't posted yet. Not necessarily my business, hey, I'm nosy. What was that about?
Sandy-I'd be willing to friend you to send you a horseshoe too if you want. Just let me know.
SW-I was confused too. But then I think that I kinda figured it out so I let it go.
I almost posted on the wrong thread b/c I hadn't caught up - but got an error instead so....
"Those are big dogs, vet care is expensive, lifespan is short and you can't even feed your own ki...oh, wait. Nevermind. "
Oh no you di'nt!
:)
Sandy - you can friend me too and I'll gift ya!
SW, you need to start subscribing to comments, then you won't be out of the loop when things like that happen.
SW & Sandy,
Just came on to catch up.
I'm confused too.
It's like they were passing notes behind our backs!
Hey CK!
Be back in a few. Gotta drop the little guy off at school.
Ditto on the confusion. I was going to ask but then I didn't want to be nosy. Since everyone else is, though... I'll jump on the bandwagon.
Hi CK, Kristin and Christy!
How are you feeling today Kristin? Any better-aside from the headache?
I'm afraid one of y'all will have to help Sandy...I can't get my gift thingie to open. It just goes to a blank screen. Sorry, Sandy!
SW, CW, etc., BD accidentally posted using the wrong name so we got rid of them. And no, it wasn't "Krista", although that would have been terribly funny and shocking!
Back, and we didn't go for the walk yet. The shelter doesn't open until 1:00. So we got Subway for lunch later on. Geez, nonstop excitement 'round here. Not. lol.
I would help Sandy, but I can only send harnesses and nails. Now I am heading back to lurking in occasionally because I have a lot more house to clean. :)
BD - I have a cat and a dog and fish :)
I will have to do an animal post soon :)
Ahhh, BD has an alias, huh? Now I'm intrigued. Anybody on reader have any clues to give the rest of us?
I don't play Farmville, or I'd help you Sandy. I know that's of absolutely no help.
So, SW & AP, you're moving to Belgium? AP, I think you'd like the weather but not so much the social security, funding of universities by our government, socialists ruling Wallonia, etc.
Heck, I don't like the socialists.
I don't play Farmville. I want to avoid adding anything to my many internet addictions :P
SW, we're going to Seattle.
Speaking of addictions, what'd anyone think about the folks who got the boot on American Idol? I did not see *one of them, for sure, coming.
Melissa - I'm sneezing and my eyes hurt. The headache has dulled a bit though. Thanks for asking!
Has KaytieJ been on today? I'm hoping she is feeling better too!
Do you have allergies, Kristin?
RiM-I was a surprised as well. Is it just me or is anyone else having a heard time getting in to AI this season?
I used to be able to say no to the allergies but I think as I get *older :( they have come to haunt me. My mom gets them pretty bad.
Melissa - I am loving it this season! Are you just not really liking any of the singers? Or?
I haven't watched it yet, but I hear that the person we're talking about who got the boot was a total bitch about it. Can't wait to watch tonight.
<<---practically a socialist herself and STOKED about moving to Belgium!
"And no, it wasn't "Krista", although that would have been terribly funny and shocking!"
Hmmmmm. I'm not convinced. This smells fishy.
RiM-I dunno. I'm just kind of *whatever about all of them. I do like Andrew Garcia. He reminds me of Danny Gokey from last year. But the girls...what can I say about them. They're just blah for me. Maybe I'm in a AI funk.
It was NOT Krista - I subscribe to comments so I saw it.
<----- VERY concerned about the likelihood of success in the AP/SW marriage. :::worrying:::
Totally OT - but for those of you who read MWoP - did you see JM did a "toy" post - or should I say a "clutter" post?
Too funny!
Melissa - I think you need to change your pic to a daisy :)
I'll be lurking - have to finish entering grades.
Melissa, I think you are in a funk. ::nods almost like a doctor:::
I love the girls. Well, not all of them. I really like Crystal Bowersox and am looking forward to the day when the Crest Whitestrips the producers are undoubtedly gluing to her teeth 24/7 begin to kick in. I also really like that little Siobahn or however you spell her name. I like her quirkiness. LIke Didi a lot. Can't stand Lacey.

I thought Todrick rocked Queen. I liked him.
The girl that got the boot last last night, shocked me. I loved her and thought she was a contender to win. I guess she was too quirky for the stupid tweens controlling the vote.
SW - who got booted last night?
SW- Oh, but the socialists here suck, big time!
I hate, hate, hate them.
I'm a bleeding-heart liberal but, here, that means I vote for a right-wing party.

******* AI Spoilers *******
Todrick Hall (Queen rocker)
Lilly Scott (my second favorite girl, to Bowersox)
Alex Lambert (meh)
Katelyn Epperly (lots of very curly blonde hair, also meh for me)
<<-- loves and wants to adopt Adam Lambert
Are Alex and Adam related?
Don't think so, CK.
SW - Well, at least with Adam Lambert, if you adopted him, you wouldn't have to buy a leash since he already has one. :-)
(I did really like him, too.)
And Lily Scott was probably my second favorite, too. I am shocked. Katelyn was meh for me as well. She's gotten too comfortable with flipping that curly blonde hair around to get her way all the time and forgot she had to *sing.
I'm with SW-I don't think that they're related.
Kristin, you have mail.
Damn Farmville! lol
Maybe twins, separated at birth?
That would blow the whole nature vs nurture out of the water. Nurture would be proven to be THE WINNER!
I liked Alex okay and I like his voice, but he just didn't seem to have *any confidence in himself at all.
sandy - back at ya - I can't find you.
I agree about Alex.
I think that maybe AI needs to reevaluate the way that they showcase the contestants during the prelim auditions, etc. Maybe if they focused less on individual stories and instead focused on the singing the talent may be a lot more diverse.
CK- Maybe twins, separated at birth?
But, then, they wouldn't have the same last name ;-)
ok sandy - you should have a horse shoe :)
Okay - starting to think its a damn cold or major allergies - I now can't breathe :(
Should have gotten cold medicine while at Wal-mart but I was too focused on stuff for gag gift for BIL and baby stuff.
Damn it, Corinne - ha!
CK-I googled searched to see if I could find an answer for you. Half of what I found said that they were brothers but the other half said that there was no relation. I'll let you come to your own conclusion!
I am reasonably sure they said on AI itself that there was no relation between the two Lamberts, back when Alex auditioned.
Kristin - sorry you're feeling like crap. I have terrible problems with allergies, but I find black colored mold all over this house and I suspect that's a lot of my problem. I would die without Vick's nose spray at night.
I'm such a doofus! A friend emailed me to see if I was okay because I hadn't answered my cell and she had called me three times today.
I was like WTF? Then I checked in my bag and my phone was in silent mode. Not even vibrate. I'm stupid :P
Kristin--damn Facebook ate my horseshoe. Can you believe it! It was there and gone in a blink of an eye! UGH!!!
CK- From what I've found, Adam and Alex are not related; it's a coincidence :)
Sandy - you have me cracking up! How does FB eat a horseshoe?
Although last week or so, when I decided to get back involved with Farmville - I had over 60 gifts and it wouldn't let me accept them. It kept taking me to farmville itself - Farmville had a note that said they were working on the problem but after 5 days of trying I ended up ignoring a bunch of gifts :( and I really wanted an elephant.
Krsitin, neighbor request and horseshoe are just gone. I clicked on the horseshoe, Farmville loaded and nada.
Damn Facebook addictions.
:( Sandy
Can you gift more than once a day?
I don't know. My husband sent one at like 5am and then I was able to send another one at like 9am. He's tapped out for today.
Here's a question for you ... if someone told you that you were "not 'pretty,' like you think of in those terms, but you're 'very striking'", how would you take that?
Okay, now I'm off for a walk and to walk a dog.
I am now at peace with the world. I pimped myself out. My stable is complete. Life is good.
and I just sent you another horseshoe ....oh well.
RiM- I have no idea how I'd take that. It's a weird, weird thing to say to someone!
Kristin, your second horseshoe disappeared too. Is that weird or what!
Very strange - who knew that I could give disappearing horseshoes as gifts?
It's magic! LOL
La-di-da-di, we like to party. We don't cause trouble, we don't bother nobody.
TGIF!
Robin, I would take "very striking" as a compliment. But it reminds me of a very funny joke from the Facts of Life (oh, how I loved that show) back in the early 80's. At the time the Polish workers had been in a very public strike for a long time, and Lech Walesa was their leader. So Blair Warner on FOL and some long brown haired chick from the first or second season were fighting over the same guy, and the brown haired chick said "He said I was striking," and Blair answered, "Like the Polish Auto Workers"?
Lord, when you explain a joke like that, it doesn't have any funny left, does it. But it was very funny to me at the time, and I still remember it almost 30 years later.
So to summarize: yes, striking is good.
That is funny but I am still laughing at my sister and her pregnancy brain - she got a mailing address and the lady spelled the name - LEOPARD st - and my sister says "123 LEO Pard St" and the lady was "no, like 123 leopard st" - I'm still giggling and making fun of her.
I'm such a mean big sister.
Although she is rude b/c she says she is no longer saying "bless you" when I sneeze b/c I might get her sick.
Hi all. Rainy and gloomy here today.
Sorry but can't participate in talks about AI or Farmville. I have no idea what you guys are talking about!
What do I plug in if I want to read Daisy comments on reader? Email me if you like.
Just looked at the timestamp of the entry before mine.... Guess everyone's just getting off of work now and driving home?
I'm here FT :)
It's hard to read them in reader IMO. Have you tried to subscribe to them and get them in your email?

hey christy! How are you?
Hey Kristin. I'm kinda blah. Glad it's Friday.
Why Blah?
I am ready for a nap or for bed. :(
Hi Kristin and Christy!
I'll try on reader for now. My email gets cluttered as it is! Thanks, Christy.
Just a long week...ready for kids bedtime:)
right, me too!
Don't forget to set your clocks ahead one hour Saturday night!
I hate this - LM doesn't grasp the concept too well.
Ugh...we lose an hour right?
Hi all:
I shall reveal the mystery. I accidentally posted under my real name, which many of you know, but which I don't want to post here. The whole reason I originally started going by Belladonna (an old nickname) is because I noticed a couple of my students on BlogFrog. I do not want them to know anything about my life outside the classroom because, well, because I like my privacy.
That's all AP was doing, taking down my posts which were headed by my real name.
I'm here FT, Hi! And Hiya Christy! I've got Fridayitis bad, and want to leave. But need to get two things to clients before I do.
I made a liquor store run at lunch to buy rum, gin, and triple sec for my long island ice teas. Already had enough tequila and vodka. Lots of kinds of liquor in those!
Hi BD! Sorry I spoiled the "mystery" by being nosy. It was more fun thinking you were Krista.
Kristin and Sandy - so sorry you are still sick. I am bit better but still stuffed up. Having coffee and getting ready to head in this evening. I am in charge. Bleck.
SW - Your breakfast sounded interesting and I am glad you found it so, too. Loved your 0/1 story. Have a nice time with your dinner tomorrow - your menu is perfect.
Karen - I enjoyed your pics! Perfect spot to sit and enjoy the sun. And Tay is adorable.
Spokane addendum - I went to nursing school there, hung out with a bunch of Gonzaga law students. Studied with them at the local pool hall. Good times, good times! I love the rolling wheat fields of the Palouse :-D
AP - What is "LFOB" ? Definitely Seattle for you and SW :-D
Hi SW! I'm off to music lessons now, my kids are already there and mine starts very soon. I will only be there a few more weeks actually, I may start again in the fall but I just way too busy to dedicate much time to this right now, so it's just throwing money out.
Back later.
bye FT!
Kaytie - glad you are feeling better.
What kind of nurse are you? and I"m sorry if you already mentioned it.
Hey Kristin -
I am an ICU nurse in a Medical/Surgical/Trauma/Neuro ICU - basically everything except Cardiac. Started out in Cardiac, but got tired of just doing post Open Heart and Balloon pumps. We only do adults and so I am worthless when it comes to baby or OB stuff!
Did you get my e-mail?
From the other day? Yes I did :)
I will e-mail you...maybe this weekend?
I would love to be a nurse but it just wouldn't be in the cards for me.
I've spent a lot of time in the hospital.
14 more minutes!
Commencing weekend in 3...2...1...
How is everyone?
Hey Bella - glad it is Friday but i can't breathe and just want to go lay in bed but I can't, too much to do and not enough time :(
how are you? Got big plans?
*big plans for the weekend - duh!
Hey Kristin...no plans except maybe seeing Alice in Wonderland.
Sorry you are not feeling well :(
Hi Bella! Happy weekend! Mine hasn't started yet. I got another hour or so of work and then need to talk myself into Friday afternoon grocery shopping. Shudder.
No worries Bella - seems par for the course - LM was sick, sister is sick, BIL is sick (or was), co-worker is sick - now I'm sick and preggo sis is threatening me - she better not get sick :)
I'm sorry you aren't feeling well, too Kristin. That sucks, especially since you can't just take care of yourself and relax.
SW, Friday p.m. grocery shopping is the.worst.
I would get Thai takeout and save the store for the weekend ;)
alright ladies, off to get my little man!
See ya around :)
Dang, Bella! That's exactly what I want to do. But I need to make a pie tonight and need those ingredients. Maybe I'll wait until 8:00 or so to go, after the crowd is gone.
I've already put this grocery trip off twice. I was going to go last night. Then I was going to go at lunch today. Then after work. Now who knows? I hate grocery shopping so damn bad!
SW, do you have Peapod where you are?
I just tossed some fresh blueberries with cornstarch and sugar, topped it with homemade streusel, and put it in the oven. Here's hoping the fly-by-night blueberry crisp ends up tasting good. I have to call MR. BD and ask him to pick up some vanilla ice cream.
Nevermind, I see they are not in the South. I used them a few times, I loved it.
Then I felt guilty because I really am *not that busy, I just hate shopping, so I stopped using them.
Oh yum, BD! I don't know of any grocery delivery service where I live Bella. That would be so nice, and I'm sure I'd feel guilty, but do it anyway.
I will have you know that I had a big piece of the crisp, and it is magnificent.
Next time I might add a third pint of blueberries, and perhaps some lemon zest to make the blueberries bolder. Otherwise, I'm delighted with the outcome.
Got home and was putting away groceries - LM wanted everything I was putting away - so he had a smorgasbord - banana, strawberries, grapes, crackers and cheese. I realized he had no meat so I made a turkey hot dog and he ate most of it.
I on the other hand have no appetite and may just heat up some soup. I want sleep. Is it 8:00 yet?
LM just brought me flowers :)
He did Christy - he came inside and said with his hands behind his back "I have a peasant for you mommee" and I said "what is it?" and he gave me 2 little itty bitty flowers (weeds) so I gave him a kiss on the cheek and said thank you.
About 5 minutes later he came back in and said the same thing, I played along and said "what is it?" and he gave me 2 more small flowers and then he kissed me on the cheek - so sweet.
Then he came back in, said he had another present and gave me this whole handful - roots and all - of grass, weed and flower. Cute and sweet!
Anyone else watching "Who do you think you are?"
It is about Emmitt Smith. I really like Emmitt. I really want to delve into my ancestry too.
Christy, yes he really is a sweet boy.
Hi, all!
Robin, I'd be thrilled to be called striking over pretty. "Striking" is a natural thing...a good hairstyle and nice makeup can make pretty.
Kaytie, we have 2 Kays here now. You and the Kay who goes by LifefullofBrats, or LFOB. :-)
Kristin, I want LM to bring me a peasant, too.
I'm sure he would AP!
SW, I wish I could do that shopping for you. They know me by name at Publix. :-X It's like an addiction...I had to force myself to not go today. I just love grocery stores.
It's weird around here today,...Jake left at noon for Megacon (with a sundress, a fur jacket, platform boots and a wide stretch belt, among other fashionable items. Oh, and carrying a purse...lol. I'm loving being alone and not wearing a bra but I miss his voice. I spent the afternoon in the recliner eating jambalaya (Zatarain's) and watching RuPaul's Drag Show and then Flashdance. Can y'all believe I'd never seen Flashdance? Anyway, I hope he doesn't get killed or arrested tonight.
I killed it with drag queen talk.
Awesome AP!
Sorry was dealing with LM and his defiant ways :)
Sundress - awesome! I love the fact you are so accepting of Jake!
Hi AP,
Just watching Supernanny - the mom's last name is McKinney.
Oh, hell, there's nothing to accept...he's really like having the best of both worlds in having a boy vs. girl. :-)
What's LM being defiant about?
CK, does she act like she could be related? ;-)
A bit - I can just see JM's kids running around undisciplined like these two kids on the show are.
And JM blaming it all on somebody else.
Basically just not listening - he had a capri sun and he was done and he threw it at me, I picked it up and told him to throw it away and he said NO! So I told him again and he told me NO! again in which I told him he better do it or he was going to get a smack on the bottom - in which he just looked at me. Then I started counting - and he went to the kitchen to throw it away!
This Emmitt thing is pretty interesting. He is going into the slave days - he has has found mulatto - and is trying to trace it back - interesting - saying that horses were treated better than the slaves.
Hey CK!
Hi Kristin!
Anyone want to get me more kleenex? i don't think the one box I bought today is gonna cut it. :(
CK, I'd dearly love to run into her and the kids, just so I could gauge them for myself.
Kristin, I've got very, very deep southern roots, including slaves. There was a lot of ugliness, no question, but there were a lot of good, decent owners, too. More, most likely. I say that in *no way* condoning owning another person at all, but the idea that all slaves were treated poorly isn't exactly factual. So many were not. I just felt the need to throw that bit of randomness out there for you. :-)
You bitches kill me. I posted the SIP member list the other day to point out the irony of the dessert gals getting banned in light of the large number of inactive SIP posters. I got most of those people banned from SIP as a result. Your fucking welcome. Then you losers whine and bitch like I came HERE to stir up trouble. Idiots. I don’t care enough about you to make trouble for you. The message wasn’t for YOU, don’t you get it?
Here’s an updated list of the last few SIPsters clinging to the Titanic:
Won
Bec
Cat
Really Frugal
CPTwife
erica mac
Erin Lutz
Gayle
Hope
Robin2
Jae
Nic
Jill
Jennifer
Tara.

Oh, and for those of you who wanted more cussing from me, you can go fuck yourselves you skanky low life no life husband bashing whores. I don’t have time for you losers and your loser games.
I may have time for Won’s loser games though. Stay tuned.
Oh, I know that and understand that.
He was just talking to this historian and Emmitt was trying to trace his ancestors back to Africa and the guy held up a book of horses and stated that the book showed the lineage back to England.
And Emmitt just traced his great x 6 back to a white man who sold his daughter and her mother for a saddle and a horse - but it appears that he sold it to his son - the son seemed to be kind - and it was said - sensed that this was his sister - and then another historian said how unusual it was for Mariah - the slave owners daughter - to keep her family intact. She apparently named her second child, a girl - Mary - the name of her father's wife.
It is all just really interesting.
They just said that Emmitt is 81% african and that is one of the highest percentages she's seen.
The hell? Again? This is a new one, too...I was the first profile view.
Who has chips? I've got run and diet Coke, plus fresh lime. *settles back*
Kristin, it is all just fascinating, I agree. I'm wondering if Emmitt has any recent African immigrant ancestors...does it say?
Feeble attempt at an impersonation.
"Your fucking welcome."
It's "you're". And what happened to "eau"...booted?
Shannon - she spells the contraction of you are just like your BF friend Kathryn.
Okay, I can interpret "Won's Losers" in a couple of ways.
A) A loser because I used to hang out on SIP
B) A loser because Wendy revoked my invite
PROUD TO BE (B).
Well - it obviously isn't me :)
I know the difference b/w you're and your.
It is very interesting.
hmmmm......
Oh, and it doesn't say...but the really weird thing is he found a lot of info was found in book 22 - which is Emmitt's number, his NFL number and the number he has always worn.
I have crown!
"A) A loser because I used to hang out on SIP
B) A loser because Wendy revoked my invite"
Or maybe because we have a blog that didn't implode like OHIH!
"I have crown!"
No kidding!
The popcorn is popping, Taiya. Pull up a chair.
Oh how I'd love to be a fly on the wall over at SIP - I am sure the shit is flying over there.
Just nod and say "uh huh" a few times, Taiya.
Proof? This is yet another new profile.
I'm pretty sure I know who it is...if in fact it is someone from that list who has access to SIP.
You going to share, Christy? Or make us guess?
AP and Taiya,
Let's start and take turns going down the list.
I'll start -
Christy - is it Wendy?
hehe.
Well I am going to rule out R2 - b/c she would know the difference b/w your and you're, same with Tara and Rhys (tumbleweed).
Kristin - but they were trying to impersonate Krista.
::singing the Final Jeopardy theme song::
CK, I honestly don't even know where to start except that I find it very weird that "eau" is off the new list but I see everyone else still there, I think.
Taiya, you can still make a guess. That could be fun!
"Krista" probably just c/p the list from the other day. But took out eau (which is water in french).
The list is much shorter now, but this person still has access to it. Going to check site meter.
Christy - you teasing us?
::pulling up chair next to CK and passing martini to CK if she shares popcorn::
I'm sharing, Sandy. Thanks for the bev.

"The list is much shorter now, but this person still has access to it. Going to check site meter."
Oooh, you compared? Smart girl!
Taiya and Sandy,
We have to share with the dog, however.
Oh, wow, there are a lot of names missing. Man.
CK that's fine! I have some Cheetos for the dog. lol
Those missing were really inactive even when we were all there. It's someone that thinks she's sneaky.
Taiya,
Wendy has a rule that things on SIP stay on SIP. So, if this truly is someone on SIP, they are breaking the law by sharing this list here.
I wonder if someone from SIP can confirm if a new list has been posted. Not actually post just say yes bu that might get them in trouble.
Dog says thank you for the Cheetohs, Sandy.
Lurkers scatter...
3 years to life for that offense, Kristin.
You're Welcome Dog!
I've got a theory. There's a SIP mole is giving the info to someone who is not on SIP. Something is VERY familiar about the writing.
Out of curiosity, what does SIP stand for?
You can check who's lurking, but you need to see who was on at the time of the comment.
I don't think it is someone who posts here.
Sandy, have you seen that style elsewhere?
Taiya - you're asking good questions. I'm just waiting to see if any answers develop.
Yeah, I think so.
This movie? Kinda strange.
Well, just to clarify the obvious, everyone knows Robin and I have been good friends for years but she certainly isn't mole-ing to me and I'll swear to that. I've never asked her to or wanted her to, nor has she offered. She chose to stay there when I left and we chose to not put her in that position since she genuinely wanted to stay. I guess there's no way to prove that though, unless someone is better with that sitemeter than I am and can verify I never signed out. Plus, she can spell.
CK, does the Dog need more Cheetos? How are we on beverages?
I think the "your" was a definite typo.
Sandy, I agree. I don't think it was a purposeful typo. I don't think they were "trying" to sound like someone else in this instance.
Oh, I don't think it's Robin.
And typos don't mean a thing. I hate my keyboard and have to fix typos all the time, but I can spell.
AP, I seriously don't think it's anyone who posts here.

Yes, you said this...
