It's almost over.

Will you think badly of me if I tell you I just opened a Full Sail beer?

I'm proud of you!!!!

George called me earlier. Seems his boss told him last nite not to bother coming in today, and to go find another job. Well, he went in. The new people took over the dealership. George has a job there. A very secure job. And will be making more $$. And everything is fine!!!!!!!!!!!
He was so depressed last nite, but didn't tell me anything. He thinks he's making me sick.
It just made me smile, then cry to hear him sounding like himself again!!!

IT'S TIME!!!!

Go Tara Go!!!

This seems so petty but my throat hurts and I feel like doo doo waaaahhhhhh!!
How about you PS? any news?

Wish we could hang out in our jammies and watch Court TV -- Jerry could make us snacks and Caymus, Rasta and Calypso could hang out....

Hey, it's only mid-afternoon on the west coast.

Awww... PS!!! Give George a BT hug when he gets home

Karma is an amazing force - I knew it would work out for George (of course he's got you so he's way ahead of the game!).
That's such great news!

shhhh.... Jerry!!!
And to think I included you in my jammie fantasy!!

PS, give George a hug for us. I know how he must have been feeling.

It's

"And to think I included you in my jammie fantasy!!"


I'm not saying anything, no, I'm not going there, LALALALA.

Aw, I like the jammie fantasy!
Jerry, we want snacks!!!! Get us good stuff this time!! And wine, we want good wine! Not that dang box stuff you keep trying to give us!! And the pups want steak!!! NO, not SPAM, they want steak!!!!

George gets lots o'hugs tonite!
He's gonna want a jammie fantasy!!

That's why I like hanging out with you PegiSue You're a Take-Charge kinda gal!!

I was just reading this blog - from John Bingham - and I LOVE this part about his trip to Antartica
"The big lesson that I've learned from these Antarctica trips,... is that it's all about preparation. Preparation. Not planning. In Antarctica you can't have a plan. The island makes the decisions, not you. No matter what your plan is, the continent doesn't care.
I've tried to apply that lesson to the rest of my life. I'm focusing more on being prepared and less and less on having a plan. Whatever life plan I had when I was younger, it certainly hasn't turned out the way I planned. Even the more recent years of my life haven't gone as planned. "

Man, is that true or what!!! Preparation not planned I really like that, especially today

Heck, I want steak! Hi all. GREAT news PS.

Kathy, you're pulling the covers off me!! Now get down there next to Caymus, and you'll get steak!!

We will share our wine with you

Is that the ear to your floppy fuzzy bunny slippers or are you just happy to see me?

Oh baby!

I like that about preparation not planning...very good way to live. We haven't been prepared for what's gone on lately. We will from now on! Cause with everything, it was "I didn't plan on this happening...."

I tell you, I'm just blown away by the heft of those words. As we speak, Guy's SWAT team is throwing a BBQ in honor of his retirement from the team... I don't know why but it brings such tears to my eyes. It's such a big step. One that he has spoken of a lot over the years. I know he is sad to be leaving the team after 14 years but it's time - no one else has been on that long.
Preparation... not planning

Well my sweet ladies, it's time to hit the road, Louise wants pasta, so Louise gets pasta. I think FETTUCCINE ALFREDO??? It makes the kitchen smell nice, I love the smell of garlic in the morning!

I'll peep in later.

Nite Jerry!!
BRING SNACKS!!!!

Nite Jerry give the Saint a pat on the Head and Caymus a sloppy kiss

Chicken fettucini alfredo here, Jer. PS, only dogs get steaks? lol

Tara, didn't even know your hubby was retiring. What a trip he's had! What an adventure. I like the quote you posted, too. Preparation, not planning. I just read that to the 3 people here in my house and we're having an "umhum" storing that away moment.

Just now getting my wine. Had to quit doing "soon as I got home" 5:30 stuff, and switch back to sunset. We're about there...sunset, that is.

xxx

Hi Kathy Hubby is just retiring from the SWAT team, he's not quite ready to leave the fire department - Yet! Maybe next year

Here is a link to the entire blog where that quote came from John Bingham Blog on trip to Antartica I find him so inspiring, but that one really hit home!

Hi guys, it's me! BC from B
I thought I just have a little peep on what you guys've been up to............and I gave up between the yammi fantasies and the floppy fuzzy bunny slippers. LOL

Bin busy whole day out driving around and while passing the airport I saw that they have painted the wall around the Waterlands Village. VERY NICE!!!!
They have enrolled several young local artists to do the job and what a job they've done.
Several very colorful paintings from flamingo's, fishes and all the good thing Bonaire has to offer.
GREAT JOB!!! a big thumbs up.
Anyway, it will be practically the first thing your eye fall on when you exit the airport.

Nighty night guys and dolls, catch you later :-))))

Change of plans. Grilled T-bone with roasted peppers and caramelized onions. Broiled mashed potatoes, pan seared asparagus.

And, some warm boxed white merlot.


Live large, or watch!

Oh my goodness Jerry!!

I'm afraid I am already large enough LOL. So I will watch

PegiSue - I'm so very happy for George & you
That is great news --- give George a BIG hug from me too
And - steak sounds pretty good right now

Boom - feel better

Going to make myself a celebration drink now - just 'cause

Have a wonderful night everyone

Hi Bette and Judy.... I'm getting HUNGRY!!!

This is going to sound really bad but I feel much better after having that beer Must have been nerves - LOL!!

I'll join you in the celebration drink in just a little while. Gotta pack it up and head BACK to the post office - then home sweet home

Big hugs of relief to George! (And to you, too, PS, for all of your worrying.)

Can't wait to see the newly painted wall. I hope it'll be in 2 months.....

Great News, PegiSue!! I am so happy for you and George.

Haven't read all the threads today, been busy as Tiffany got home late last night and I have been a little pre-occupied and work gets in the way of BT a lot lately.

Hugs to all who need them and heck, hugs to all who want to feel all warm and fuzzy! Got to go tend to hubby who just got back from his first root canal. Ouch! All I can say is I am glad it happened now and not during a dive vacation.

Ah, Kathy, that's not what I meant
They were getting steak, so you could have some too, but now that I think about it, I want steak too!

Busy day today

Mara, thanks for the BON well wishes. We will have fun So sorry about Boy's wreck; glad he's OK and all stitched up now. I like that idea of PS's....nerf cars LOL! DO NOT let him drive the new wheels though.

Have been on my feet for a while, in the kitchen. Cooking for the Yorkies; they eat large and well & will do so while we're gone
No more packing got done tonight but will take off Friday to do that then sit on the suitcases and see what happens LOL!

I am tired, tired and more tired!

Boom, big congrats hugs to Guy for his service. Very proud of him!!!

Jerry, hope you had a nice dinner.

George just called and he has had a FABULOUS day at work!!!
New management is a good thing!

Kathy!!!! I had a lurker call me today, and I'm getting a PedEgg for my B-day!!



Lurker? My Mommy!!!!

I keep running in here during breaks in American Idol...
KOBI!! I can't believe you're going to Bonaire in TWO days! And you are packed! I'm impressed!!!

LOL...did I say packed?! Ha I must be fooling somebody!!
It's just a tad overwhelming this time though for some reason! I've been taking lots of deep breaths! Hoppner suitcase is busting at the seams; I can't fit even a poot in there...I tried LOL! So far have a few things for me to wear on feet and behind. Told Patrick I would have to turn things inside out at the rate I'm going as not much else is gonna fit in MY suitcase

Oops I said poot!

PS, I am SO SO SO glad about George's job and with new management too! This is fabulous.

I have got to get myself to a place that has the Ped Egg...I am getting kinda crackly, dry and just had a pedi! That just doesn't sound right LOL! I think I need to go to bed!

Hi everyone...
Kobi...take me with you!!!
PS...I'm so HAPPY to hear YOU happy!!

I am really exhausted; I need a vacation

I cooked the t-bones the French way, as Cynde would say "OMG." This should be the only way to cook any prime meats. Want to know how?

A. Take a cooking class in Paris.
B. Work as a line chef for years.
C. Send me cash, and I might tell you the secretes?

Just playing with you, sorry, I'll post it tomorrow. It's based on the top restaurants in Paris. I saw it done and it's way to easy.

I'm ready for some port, Caymus wants to play in the yard, so I bid you all a good evening, And remember, the GUARDS are always watching.
