LOL

That almost makes me wish I were still getting telemarketing calls. (not really) LOL

[OESY]

Let's try it. Post your telephone number.

[Jen]

Darks!!! Oh my goodness. That's one technique I have not tried with an annoying telemarketer...

[Jen]

Bryce is 3 and he is adorable. We had so much fun. Went to Chuck E. Cheese and all the fast-food places with good playgrounds. I was happy to see that McDonald's and ChikFilA offer fruit instead of fries and milk instead of soft drinks for the little ones. I miss him already. :(

[Jen]

Hi Meekie! The day I actually WANT a telemarketer to call so I can be friendly to him - wouldn't you know I only got ONE call and it was a recording. Sorry telemarketers, I don't talk to machines. Maybe next year I'll have better luck... ;-)

[Jen]

Hey OESY! I like your telemarketer game too. How many points did you score today? :)

[Darksheare]

Ya probably shouldn't either, it was kinda rude of me.
But, I do have to admit, they didn't call at 9 pm for a very long time.

[JustAmy]

What time do you get off work? Maybe I can call Victoria to play some music!

Hey .... Victoria, where are you???

[JustAmy]

Okay ...

Three is such a sweet age. When I first started caring for Marissa, she was not quite three. She is 4 1/2 now. She is more sweet now than she was then. She was a very angry child when she first came here.

We went to Tony Roma's last weekend. She ordered a hamburger with french fries and a steak. :) I told them to hold her steak, she could share my ribs.

I know that you miss Bryce; it doesn't take very long for them to wiggle their way into your heart.

[MeekOneGOP]

Maybe next year I'll have better luck... ;-)

hehehe ! Yeah, maybe next year ..... NO calls ! :^D

[The Mayor]

LOL!!

[tuliptree76]

Hi Amy,

I'm home from work now. :)

[JustAmy]

We couldn't get Victoria to answer her pings.

It's Friday ... she is probably partying!!!

[tuliptree76]

It seems like a quiet night this evening.

I'd rather eat ground glass.

MY STAR
By Mark R Myers

Shine on my bright and glowing star,
Your light doest twinkle from afar.
The brightness overwhelms me so,
Tis love for you I've come to know.
For you are the sweetness in my day,
But you are so very far away.
The miles they are so long it seems,
But your soul glistens in my dreams.
My wishes and prayers go out to you,
And my heart knows your feeling blue.
I hope we'll be together soon,
Then we can gaze upon the moon.
To be with you both day and night,
Will bring my darkened heart to light.

[JustAmy]

Thank you for today's Welcome Graphic.

[Mama_Bear]

You're welcome. You've found the perfect poem once again. :-)

I know I have been scarce of late. I will try to pop in a little more often. I've been missing everyone here.

Thanks, Amy, for all you do.

Perry Como's Catch a Falling Star

Catch a falling star an' put it in your pocket,
Never let it fade away!
Catch a falling star an' put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day!

For love may come an' tap you on the shoulder,
Some star-less night!
Just in case you feel you wanna' hold her,
You'll have a pocketful of starlight!

Catch a falling star an' ( Catch a falling . . . ) put it in your pocket,
Never let it fade away! ( Never let it fade away! )
Catch a falling star an' ( Catch a falling . . . ) put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day! ( Save it for a rainy day! )

For love may come and tap you on the shoulder,
Some star-less night!
An' just in case you feel you wanta' hold her,
You'll have a pocketful of starlight!

( . . . pocketful of starlight! )

Catch a falling star an' ( Catch a falling . . . ) put it in your pocket,
Never let it fade away! ( Never let it fade away! )
Catch a falling star an' ( Catch a falling . . . ) put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day! ( Save it for a rainy . . . Save it for a rainy, rainy rainy day! )

For when your troubles startn' multiplyin',
An' they just might!
It's easy to forget them without tryin',
With just a pocketful of starlight!

Catch a falling star an' ( Catch a falling . . . ) put it in your pocket,
Never let it fade away! ( Never let it fade away! )
Catch a falling star an' put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day!

( Save it for rainy day! ) Save it for a rainy day!
