In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Tomorrow I’m bringing in chains, so beware.
The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. I’m just letting all the new students know that we behave as if we were ladies and gentlemen in here. Those two words “as if” can get you an A if you make the subbie laugh.

I would like a truckload of mulch. And someone to spread it. Is that too sentimental?
sounds FROU FROU to me...
Jax came home from school this afternoon and gifted me with the Mother's day present the class had been secretly working on. They had planted marigolds in clear plastic cups and then they made decorative labels to place between a second clear plastic cup. But it was the 4 page card that actually brought tears to my eyes.
Happy Mother's Day, my FRiend.
we are actually taking some friends out to brunch for mothers day, not just the xsfamily of 5. One friend's husband has been out of work for awhile, and she is godmother and confirmation sponsor to my kids, so we are taking them, and xshub invited someone that works for him who is a single mom, whose ex has remarried and had another child. so she will get zero recognition on that score. i am looking forward to it, it should be a lot of fun.
Where, and what are you willing to pay?
Good for you guys. I see Anthony's in my future.
Ugh. three days of kids...."well, I fed them! I fed them chocolate cake! It has all the food groups...milk, wheat, ...dear? Put down the gun, dear..."
The intensive off-road driving might be interesting...
I want a truckload of dirt so I can expand my garden first, THEN a load of mulch over that and someone to spread both...
I want to go fishing - but the weather is not being cooperative. So my annual Mother's day fishing day is taking place on Tuesday. Jax has a field trip to Virginia Beach that day and needs to be at school at 7:15am and they won't be back until 7pm....knowing in advance it was so close to Mother's day hubby took the day off from work :)
Yup - real sentimental!!!!!
But I got my real Mother's Day present earlier this week. We've joked here before about the industrial strength/commercial size of my vegetable garden - it's not a joke anymore. hubby has agreed to allow me to try to go "commercial." A roadside produce stand and selling homemade pickles, preserves, and hot sauces.
At nearly 45 I'm doing exactly what I did at 16 when I realized that I could not go into marine biology/oceanography because I totally sucked at science and opted instead to use what aptitude I had. I could write, lived for current events and wasn't afraid of speaking in public - so I went into radio news and then politics. There are no calls for my writing, speaking or political skills wher I live now, so I'm switching to the appitudes I have that can work here - growing veggies and cooking.
Pay? Who said anything about money? It's for mom's day!
That is just too cool! I'm too far off the main road to have a stand-but I can sell my produce at my shop, if I can ever find a space to rent that is reasonable...
ah. obviously, I was not following the conversation. Sorry.
That really sounds like a nice outing-my daughter is working Sunday, so we are doing dinner out Saturday night. I doubt that she'll get me a load of dirt, though-she usually gives me kitchen stuff...
Your plans for Mother's Day sound wonderful. How thoughtful of you to do for the others in what could be an uncomfortable situation. I can't wait to here how much fun you had - because I am sure you're correct and it will be a lot of fun.
coolbreeze works on Sunday and so we have, in the past, always done MD on saturday. He would take the day off if I asked, but I don't think it's necessary. The weather is supposed to break tomorrow, so with any luck Jax and I will get to spend the day planting. We had borrowed a tiller from friends and they need it back, so coolbreeze is going to return that to them while I take Jax to get her hair done tomorrow. He will also be bringing home between 50 and 75 tomato plants. Our friend's are electricians and a client gave them over 100 tomato plants and they have no use for that many - but i do!!!!
I can guarantee that whatever xsbrownie stashed in her drawer you will LOVE!!!!
Hey - they helped create them - they can help tend them :)
we will go to ANCC. thankfully they had room for the 6 additional people, when xshub called to add them on at 9 am today.
I'm more than 2 miles from the highway, BUT this is a very busy road because there is a fishing village complete with boat ramp at the end of it, and a large campground in between.
My SIL and 2 friends are openning a specialty gift shop up in Dover next month. They already have refrigerator cases in for some gourmet foods, so I'm hoping I can convince them to let me try out some of my stuff :) My friend that owns the local seafood market also works with local artists and craftsmen selling their wares at the market, I'm sure I can work something out with her.
I'm currently culling through my recipes and I'm going to try a couple new ones I've come across that are intriguing.
Starting with hubby's next paycheck, he gets paid twice a month, I'm going to be buying 6 cases of canning jars and then start stalking the flea markets for "decorative" bottles that can be corked.
Sounds to me like xshub has some clout at ANCC!!!!!!
All kidding aside, I'm J about you MD bruch!!!!
sounds fun and creative, wish you lots of luck!
