The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Sorry WN! I didn't get a cheeseburger after all.

Glen knew I'd been kind of depressed since I haven't lost much of my baby weight yet and nothing fits. So, he took me to Marshall's and let me get 3 pairs of jeans and a new pair of sneakers. My feet grew another half size after Alyson, so know I'm up to an 8 and a half. I was a seven and half before kids!

It's days like these that I remember why we're still together, even if he can be a royal pain in the you-know-where sometimes. But then again, I guess the same could be said about me. Especially when Auntie Flo comes to visit. :)

New clothes are always good. You should adopt my philosophy:

If you can't hide it, decorate it.

Thanks Corin. As long as I can keep laughing about it, I won't focus on my 103 pound little sister when she comes over in a tank and shorts. *grrrrr*

My other sister (the computer wiz) and I had agreed to exercise and diet together, but I just can't keep up. You need free time (not to mention energy) to exercise and will power to diet. Sadly, I lack both at this time.

It's too hard to eat the right things when you're starving and the baby's crying and the only quick-food is a twinkie and a glass of milk!

True. And in reality, there's no use trying to diet when you're under stress.

I'm going to make a button to wear that reads:

Don't stress me out! I'm trying to diet!

"Stressed" spelled backwards is "Desserts."

Farrier has come and gone now.

Horses got their toes trimmed.

I'm hungry.

Guess what? I got an e-mail saying my DSL is ready! Which means IF the install package is there when I get home (which, considering my luck, is doubtful), I'll have high speed access this weekend! Woo-hoo!

HA! - I like my farrier, and he does have a kind of rugged look about him!

He said I am his favorite customer, because Bay is so nice for shoeing, and also because I brought the horses in to dry off and de-mudded them before he got there. He said most folk aren't that considerate.

Well, tidying up for company is a very hobbity thing to do.

HI all, just popping in briefly to ask if any of you remember a couple of years ago a particular album promoted by Rush Limbaugh produced by a couple of guys out of Indiana (I think) it was rap music, but with a definitive conservative slant. I am trying desperately to remember the name of the group/organization...for some reason I keep thinking it started with a 'C'...

Its bugging me to no end, but there is no way I can get into Rush's exclusive stuff in order to find out. Can anyone help me?

am also trying to talk my hubby into getting a little Scotty dog...I think I will name him 'boo radley'!!!

Only musicians I remember the EIB popularizing were Paul Silhan, Paul Shanklin, the dude who did "ButterFly Kisses", that Band that does the Christmas music, and I can't recall any others...except the Pretenders...LOL!!

I'd like to hear the answer when you find out...MUD
