Ah, sorry Kit. I'm sure she's fine. I didn't mean to plant that in your head. She's probably just sleeping it off like you said. After a night and day like she had, I wouldn't hear the phone either. (and I wake up over every little sound) When you get home, you'll find her quietly drooling into her pillow. Now doesn't that sound better?
Knotted - glad you're among the living and warm blooded again. I'm all bundled up too. My nose is cold though so I guess that means I'm healthy.
It's not my birthday till November 18th...I'm just planning ahead. But thank you! I'll go back and read it again!
I love stale Peeps, too. You have to slit open the package and then forget about them.
Isn't that cool how they used to only have them for Easter, but now they have them for Halloween, too??
Three day work week this week!
I am wearing the world's ugliest sweater. It is part of my Super Star costume. I have to take it off- it's just so bad...
Knot- do you ever sleep??? What are you doing up??
I shall send Peeps as well. :DQuote:

I just read this to DH (who is constantly writing proposals) and he loved it. :D He says it would indeed make life so much easier and free up a lot of his time from writing and reading proposals and give him more time for research.Quote:

I hate the time change. Takes away an hour of the tortoises' grazing time.
I forgot to change the timers on my timed lights. When I got up, Mr. Toad was sunbathing under a heat lamp that's not supposed to come on till daylight, and Milly was wide awake!
I hope the guy in Colorado checks his e-mail nice and early...
Have any of you been to the Indy 500??
Sitting here pondering which event to try and get us to next year. I need to figure out how to keep it secret from Ian as Í want to surprise him for his birthday...

Actually, that sort of used to work. You still had to write a proposal that had merit and got some descent peer reviews. But you got funded because the people who controlled the money knew what you could do. Now the funding is so tight that it's really cutthroat.Quote:

Sorry everybody, false alarm. Take down the signs and streamers. Put the cake in the freezer, we'll have it next month. Yeah, you can eat the chocolate gifts. They have a shelf life of what... about 3 days? Eat 'em if ya got 'em.
***slaps head and talks to herself** I only changed the clock by one hour. I'm soooo confused.
***Down periscope, dive, dive, dive!!!***
Hey, X, I was right there with you!
Happy Birthday EVERY DAY to your real Birthday, Nanci!!!:D :D :D
Isn't there some list on the forum front page way down at the bottom that says whose birthday it is that day?
X- you got me, too. I'm like- wait- my birthday isn't next month in December!!
Still no word from snake guy...
I thought you were just being sneaky. Not everyone posts their b-day. Shoulda investigated further, that's all. Of course you caught it in time so I don't think the b-day gods will rack up an extra one in there. If they do, go for a nice long ride. I hear it can take years off a girl. :DQuote:

I hope everything goes well with the snake dude. (first time I've ever said that in a sentence) Inez sounds divine.
Well, off to scrub in the tub. Just realized I'm still in my bike shorts. Gotta have time to stop for a few things on the way to work too. This hour jump is just messing me all up.
have a good day y'all
X.
I hate it when you contact someone and they don't.... read their emails.
happy not birthday Nanci, I have a bday in November too.
KY was cold for a reason. the temp dropped to 30 degrees last night here, i got up to discover my car encased in a block of solid ice. I had trouble opening the door and couldn't scrape the windows. I resorted to the forbidden dumping of a bucket of hot water over the windows. Worked great just like always.
I might ride the bike to work tomorrow since it's the last time I will be able to until spring.. and wednesday i am leaving on an airplane.
maybe i should buy some peeps (at full price!) for my cousins in Italy?
Click on Calendar, somewhere to find birthdays.
There are two gals that share My birthday but i don't know them.
Brr! Ugh! No kidding, Mimi- I hadda scrape my windows for the first time after work at 11. Ugh. Biking to work on sub-30 mornings is gonna be interesting. Thank god for insulation.
Xrayted- yup, quietly drooling. Woke up when I came home and was feeling better... we had dinner and watched V for Vendetta. So good. Too bad people can't be moved by a superhuman "terrorist" here. :rolleyes: I love that movie so much...
Brr! Heat!
Eer, still haven't heard from snake guy- I just wrote him again saying I was ready and willing to buy Inez as soon as he replied with her feeding history...
Yay, she's bought and paid for! Now she just has to get here. Think tiny snake that will fit in a margerine cup, traveling from Colorado to Florida, on a plane, by UPS, in a box marked "This Side Up" "Perishable!!" I hope they keep her right-side up!
oh, that will be something to really be nervous about. I have had many animals shipped, and all turned out okay, but it's always nerve wracking until they are in your arms... (i have had a goat, cats, chickens shipped to me)
but so glad you finally got through to the guy. did he just not see your first correspondence?
I am going out for my walk in the sun with hat and gloves just in case it's still cold out!
Whooo Hooo!!!! May Inez have a safe and speedy journey to your loving home. Keep us updated.Quote:

i swear it wasn't me, but have an idea who your talking about.
The good news is, between work and J, I am so out of touch with the rest of TE that *I* have no idea who you're talking about. The bad news is that I'm so out of touch.
Also, it's been a gorgeous three days here, and I've been indoors the whole time. Working a bunch, then sleeping today. It's supposed to drop 20 degrees by tomorrow. My only comfort is that it was so windy today that both running and biking would've been tough.
Nanci, I am so happy for you about Inez! Eagerly anticipating pictures and stories. :D
Arms folded, toe tapping. :confused:Quote:

Oooh, oooh, Snap, I meant to tell you that I saw a Corgi the other day, and thought, of course, of you and Chloe! Looking forward to pix of her costume. :p L.Quote:

Is Kit digging herself a hole again...............
Never mind, keep moving along. Just a knee jerk reaction to something i read, that's all. Not by any of you lovelies.!!!!:D

Oh it was not me was it?
Just my insecurity showing through.
BTW, I am fending off children who are trying to eat your PEEPS. Never fear, I saved them. :)
Pictures, please.Quote:

Looks like everyone is having fun!
The wife of a colleague is a cyclist (and triathlete) and has given me some good info on their cycling club. It sounds like a supportive group! That could be really good for me since I haven't ridden in what feels like forever. I can only begin to imagine how MP feels (congrats of finishing the marathon btw). My bike is sitting behind me right now. It looks lonely. Soon I will ride. Soon!
The kids are super excited about trick-or-treating tomorrow. Ben managed to move away from the octopus idea and decided to be spiderman. I let him decide. Elizabeth is going to be a pumpkin witch. I'll post a picture.
Gotta run and eat dinner. I'll try to do more catching up later. Just wanted to let y'all know I didn't drop off of the face of the Earth.
Later!
fishdr-glad to see you are settling in and able to be on here with us drifters. :)
Great news on finding a cycling club so quickly!
I cannot wait to see pics of the costumes. My guys will just be handing out the candy this year.
fish glad to hear things are going good.
yes i need haloween pictures! no one does anything around here!
We have a preschool on site, and today was thier dress up day. one of the few perks of this crazy job
i just got sucked into backcountry.com found a pair of travel pants, hopefully, and now getting sucked into TE and running shorts. ack! i need to go home. i'm spending all my hard earned money!
www.instructables.com has me stuck. Making a shaker flashlight out of a tictac box... flame thrower out of a spiderman water gun... I mean... wow! I wish I had access to that site as a kid!
(well... maybe not. I was dangerous enough!) :rolleyes:
But of course!Quote:

(think the very beginning of the pic) I wasn't too bad but overall not my kind of movie. A little dark for me but I liked the political undercurrent.
Nanci: Congrats on being a mommy again. So, when's she coming? Do you think she'll get along with the other "children"?
Lise: Very cool on J. So happy for you. So are you going to Paris at some point or ???
fishdr: Glad to see you back. Great news that you are getting to know some other riders. You'll be back on the bike soon I'm sure. I wish I was still a kid. I loved getting dressed up for Halloween. Wait, I still do! Actually, it was a fundraiser for the local humane league. I was a scarecrow. (right, BIIIG stretch there X) I didn't get any pics of me (cuz I'm the photographer, NOT the subject thankyouverymuch) but I may be in some that the league took. No one had to ask me what I was so I guess I did good. There was one lady dressed as what I took to be a zucchini. :confused: I dunno.
BMo3: Good job on saving the Peeps. I must admit, I stopped on my way home from work tonight and got a package. I can hear them chirping from the kitchen. (which is weird cuz they're pumpkins :confused: ) But I'm not listening, nope ya can't make me eat ya. I won't do it... ***puts fingers in ears*** I don't hear you! (Oh man, the packs of cocoa are right there in the cupboard.) Aaaaaaaah!! (Go on, you know you wanna.) NOOO!!!! (Sure just one, no one will know) I'll know. (Don't make me bring up the time you ate...) Wha... hey now, that's not right! This is a family forum, afterall. (hehehe, go ahead, have a Peep)
You suck.
Mmmmm. Oh, that was really good. (Told ya) I feel so cheap. ***shakes head*** Beaten down by my own mind. Now I'll have to go to confession tomorrow... and I'm not even Catholic. (sigh) Well anyway, good job on saving your Peeps, BMo3. ;) :D
X.
