HI Slim - waving hands excitedly I'm sure there's a smiley for that, but I'm too lazy to look for it.

HI Slim - waving hands excitedly I'm sure there's a smiley for that, but I'm too lazy to look for it.

There may be a smily, but I like your originality much better(big words for before my coffee:wink2:).

[tapshoes 2]

Slim - BEFORE your coffee? ? Nope, I must have my mug of coffee in hand before I log on. Caffeine first. Everything else, second.

I suppose I should get moving and start the morning rituals ...but looking outside at the rain falling, I'm more inclined to just give up and go to bed with a good book (and a thermos of coffee)!

[*slim* 2]

I normally have had my first cup before I log in, but today I woke up before it started brewing. I am now drinking that very delicious first cup. I wish I could go back to bed and that I had a good book on hand. I only have a couple of self help books that I keep trying to read. Unfortunately, the doctors that wrote them must have been writing for other doctors. They are the most boring drivel I have ever read!

[tapshoes 2]

Slim - forget the self-help ones. Grab a really good murder mystery and escape into its pages. Or get a travel book, and plan a wonderful vacation for yourself...somewhere exotic.

[*slim* 2]

vacation....That sounds wonderful right now.

[gone 4 ever 6]

I hate driving in the rain. Good morning Taps ans Slim and everyone els. I hope you all have a blessed day

same here, well opening the back doors & get knocked over by a trail of dogs needing to "relieve" themselves:)

can't start reading w/out coffee....

busy night -

i'll just recap off taps post -

*reality shows - i like the sports competition kinds (amazing race, BL, survivor), the dating ones are a ^&*())(*&^%&* joke.

*bacon - YUM, DH would eat it daily. i limit it in the house though. i do keep pancetta around for cooking & a replacement to his wkly BLT:)

*online tiffs - commical. i can't believe what some get worked up about from STRANGERS....

*sexual innuedo - i think it just got started:)

*slim see above - hit those kind of books up, can't do self help myself - i have found the authors to be more well messed up than those looking for guidance.

so today DH's BF gets his stem cell / bone marrow DNA transplant. he had been on a round of chemo for a wk, yesterday a "rest" day * today, he gets the DNA of a young 23yr student. we joke that his hair will turn red & he'll grow another 4 inches.....kinda exciting.

can't visit, because he's in a rejection tank essentially - but he's set up online & i've already been teasing him this AM.

fingers cross he doesn't reject.

off to read some more here before the gym:wink2:

I had said I wasn't going to watch the more to love show...but I dunno.

I don't watch the bachlorette and all that, but I like the skank shows. Maybe watching this will broaden my horizons. LOL

re: coffee...I'm waiting on DH to boot his computer and meet me in the kitchen at work. We have such gooooood coffee.< /p>

Here he is... coffee time. :thumbup:

[kcmagu 3]

Ok - reality shows. I used to watch survivor but somehow lost interest the last season or 2 - we'll see about future. Don't watch the dating ones during the season but somehow end up watching the finales about 75% of the time (for example watched the finale mon for bachlorette- not sure why since I don't know the stories behind it but whatever.

I love the deadliest catch, so you think you can dance, american idol and most of the cooking ones: top chef! & hells kitchen

Went and saw a late showing of the Orphan last night - well made movie but VERY DISTURBING!

Hoping to get some more cleaning and weeding done today - the boys should be coming today to finish some projects.

online - going to go back to my usual keeping my mouth shut

love all those! We also watch Gordon's the F word on BBC and he's not at all like what he is on Hell's Kitchen. Makes me more sure it's mostly put-on. Love Top Chef, The Next food Network Star - all those! Also have started to watch Ice Road Truckers.

I want to see this! Kids are freaky in scary movies and make me more freaked out than dudes with saws or hockey masks!!!

Ahh...coffee. 50 calories of cream and splenda, but sooo worth it.

67 folks canned here yesterday and HR has the conference rooms booked from 8 - 1pm today...so more coming!!!

Bring it on!!! LOL Okay, okay, there may be a little sumpin-sumpin in the coffee other than cream and splenda.

....j/k....

PJTP...Good morning Everyone!:w00t:

Lots to read this morning...y'all have been busy!

Beth - that's one heck of a course load...you mean business dontcha?

Watched part of 'More to Love' last night with DH. Ended up going to bed before I saw the entire show. I agree that the ladies' stats seem a bit out of balance with what they presented physically. Had a tough time with some of the clothes they wore - wrong size, wrong color, wrong fabric...it's the image consultant in me, I guess.

Some of the ladies seemed so...NEEDY...I know it's probably part and parcel of being heavy - heck, I'm sure I was the same way years ago, but it was hard to watch that and try to be dispassionate about it. DH seemed to enjoy the show - liked the fact that some of the women 'strutted' instead of just walking, and seemed to have confidence in themselves.

Watched Hell's Kitchen and saw one of the contestants blow up and cuss out the Chef...wow, just wow...wonder who will hire him after that? Definately not me...he went straight into the gutter with his body language and verbal assault and Chef Ramsay didn't really respond. Interesting show, though - stress, drama, etc...

Not to bring back sadness, but...the toughest thing I ever had to do was tell my Mother that my DOB (Darling Older Brother) had passed away. It was totally unexpected and my nephew (DOB lived with him in our family home) didn't want to call her first in case she had a bad reaction. She just stood in the shower and cried...one of the worst days of my life. My DS had to bury one of her children after the babysitter beat her to death (long, painful story). Never really recovered from that and felt guilty the rest of her life.

Still no word on the job front...hanging in there for now. Gonna go out on a limb and send some 'status checking' emails today - if they get mad at me, so be it, but I hate twisting in the wind, so to speak.

Fighting a headache...didn't want to come in today, but there are 11 boxes of stuff to be shredded and I have to be here to sign off on them with the shredding company...

Everyone have a wonderful day!:thumbup:

[kcmagu 3]

Don't know how they get the kids to act so scary and keep them normal - you must go see it.

Sending prayers to you Glou that you are not called into the conference room - maybe if you share the 'coffee' before they make the calls...

About to watch my dvr'd hell's kitchen right now while I hang and fold laundry - going to watch my remote though!

Thinking of all my texas friends - watching the today show - they've been down there today.

[tapshoes 2]

I hate driving in the rain.

HI G4E - I don't mind walking in the rain (a light rain falling straight with minimal wind); walking in torrential downpours with rain that's going sideways in the wind, and throw in the t-storms we are having today and the fun quotient goes down dramatically!

so today DH's BF gets his stem cell / bone marrow DNA transplant. today, he gets the DNA of a young 23yr student. we joke that his hair will turn red & he'll grow another 4 inches.....kinda exciting.

Best wishes for DH's BF successful treatment!

I like the skank shows. Maybe watching this will broaden my horizons. LOL

Must add Orphan to the list of movies to see.

I'm with you on the reading but not commenting.

It's official - This July is the wettest in recorded history for this area- more rain this month so far than in many years May-Sept period...and it isn't over yet!
