KEY WEST!!!
Wow, I have been out of the loop. I love Key West...but then again I have been going there since I was a youngin' with my folks. It is not every one's cup of tea and it gets a little crowded when the cruise ships are in, but it is a fun place.
Nope.
We are curently in our third house.
Downsizing, and trying to off-load the big old place in the country.
Caitlin REALLY needed to be in a neighborhood with other kids.
Still alive I see... glad we didn't scare you off... ;-)
LOL!
You always have the best graphics, Lady J.!
Now I know how Binkley felt about his Anxiety closet....
Really? Dang! I thought it was just a place to hang out and drink beer.
nono.. i decided to take my final exam in a class about 3 weeks early to relieve workload....so ive been studying after work.
Took the test today, scored a 92
Now its time to party. haha
I don't know, but you didn't seem to be here.
Funny, Mrs. BJClinton and I are trying to do the exact opposite.
Hi! I read your good news yesterday but fell asleep before I could answer. Nonetheless, even though it sounds like you have parachutes to spare, I won't stop the prayers till it all comes true for you.
Congrats!
thank you.
I believe i will be headed into town (DC) for a weekend of unbridled debauchery
:-D
Well, shoot.
Wish I'd a known...we could have worked something out! LOL!
I have conformed to the rules & splashed
up a pic. Unfortunately, there's limited
bandwidth where it's kept, so once it's
used up, the pic will disappear for a while.
"Yeah, I have been lurking and dropping in from time to time. Imagine this...my employer actually has work for me to do AND it is expected to get done.
Pffft...the nerve.
How are you these days???"
I'm here. I just had to re-boot (overload) and the headache is just a bad memory, though for two days afterward, I had a crik in my neck. So all-in-all, I'm doing quite well. :-)
I'm also making plans to head for AZ in January, so I'm often a little pre-occupied. But thanks for asking!
I try to keep up here, but it often moves too fast for me to get a "timely" post in. *snort!* So I mostly just watch and wait for a "dull" spot. ;)
Ha-ha...
Thanks, Lady J.
Like i said earlier, i'm not going to relax until I've got the paper signed and the check in the bank...
But Oh! What a lovely Christmas gift it would be for Caitlin to have Mom not so worried and scared all of the time!
I try not to let her see me cry, but sometimes she catches me anyway. She's been so good through this whole last year. She's done her share and more of the hard physical labor, and has been understanding that there just isn't money for "extras" until we get this settled.
Splurged a little yesterday and sent her and Daddy to see a matinee of "The Incredibles", but that is as far as the celebration will go until we are done.
Hang in there, girl...You'll make it. And Caitlin is just a reflection of you...when you see HER strength, remember she gets it from her mom! :-))
I was very young when it happened. Haven't
tried to see if it's work since. You made
me think of the lyrics to a song. All for
one line near the end.
Teacher: Good morning, class!
Class: Good morning, Mrs. Aryan.
Teacher: Today we're going to play a game!
Class: Yeah!
Teacher: This game is called Lifeboat. All together...
Class: Lifeboat!
Teacher: Good! Lifeboat is a lesson in values
clarification. Can you say values clarification?
Class: No.
Teacher: Values clarification is where your little
minds decide which lives are worth living and which
lives are worth ...ahem... not living. Now here's how
we play. A big ship just sank. There are five people
on the lifeboat. But the lifeboat is only made for two.
I'll list the five people on the chalkboard, and you,
class, will decide which three will be thrown overboard.
Are we ready?
Class: Yes, Mrs. Aryan.
Teacher: Good! First, there's an old, old crippled grandfather.
Second, there's a mentally handicapped person in a wheelchair.
Alison: What's mentally handicapped?
Teacher: It means they can never be a productive
member of society. Third, there's an overweight
woman on welfare, with a sniffling, whimpering baby.
Max: Is the baby on welfare, too?
Teacher: Let's not push Mrs. Aryan...
Sydney: Who else is in the boat?
Teacher: A young, white doctor with blue eyes and
perfect teeth, and Joan Collins. Now, class, take
five minutes to make your decision. ... Times up!
Well class?
Class: Throw over grandpa 'cause he's getting pretty
old. throw out the baby or we'll all be catching it's
cold. throw over fatty and we'll see if she can float.
throw out the retard, and they won't be rockin' the boat.
Teacher: Very good! That was fun, wasn't it?
Class: Yes, Mrs. Aryan.
Teacher: For our next lesson, we're going to do an experiment!
Class: Yeah!
Teacher: We're going to test the law of gravity, just like
Galileo, by dropping two objects out the window--one
heavy and one light-- to see which one hits the sidewalk
first. Now what shall we use for the lighter object? I'm
thinking of something small and square...
Class: An eraser?
Teacher: Good! And what shall we use for the heavy
object? I'm thinking of something round and bouncy...
Tommy, I haven't given you permission to leave your
sea...class, the bell has not rung. What are you... oohh!
Class...put me down! Put me down this instant! Ooohhh! Ooohhh!
Class: Throw over teacher and we'll see if she can bounce
we've learned our lesson--teacher says perfection's what counts
she's getting old and gray and wears an ugly coat
throw over teacher and we'll play another game of lifeboat
throw over grandpa 'cause he's getting pretty old
throw out the baby, or we'll all be catching it's cold
throw over fatty and we'll see if she can float
throw out the retard, and they won't be rockin' the boat
Yeah!
Considering the eldest of us is admittedly a Bumble..
This brings all kinds of odd thoughts and possibilities to mind.
If there were odd things going on, strange visions ,and general chaos, you were still here but stuck in 'spectate' mode.
