As the Pendulum Swings...
I swore to myself I'd stop airing dirty laundry on TD. But, here I go again.
"Someone" sent a card and presents for SKnot and I. I was doing real peachy until I got the mail last night. Now I'm coming apart at the seams. None of that fabulous feeling from Sunday is left! All gone! Poof!

Spam is funny!
This is what it says on the back of my can of Spam, under the "Spamburger" recipe. (I can't imagine eating that much spam in one sitting... ug)

yeah, baby!

gee, KY,
would chocolate help? I suppose the dark sky at 9am isn't helping your mood either.

Maybe returning the presents, along with a 2nd copy of "the letter" would send the correct message? Sorry for what you're going through, Knot. You can be strong.

Sorry, Knot !
Here's a topic changing question for you - do you have a book or suggestions for crock pot stuff? I see you're a crock pot woman, and I am trying to put mine to more use. Being gone all day and coming home to a hot meal all ready is fantastic - but I need some inspiration.

Lise- Making out???? I need more details about the date-keep it clean.
Fredwina- Definitely check out the Jeeves and Wooster series. Hughie Laurie (Wooster) and Stephen Fry (Jeeves) are hysterical and they were both in Black Adder.
Quill-I am sorry to hear about the trees. I would be sad without all my trees.
Nanci-I am not a gym person, but I think your gift is quite clever and will be greatly appreciated by your BF. Did you give him his gift yet?
It sounds as though Roy is doing much better. Keep us updated.
CWR- Great news about your father. I am ever so glad he is home and the meds are straightened out. You have fresh fruit-YIPPEE!!
Snap-um, congrats on the promotion? It is a good thing, right?
Knot-I am a little concerned about you and your lentils, and your spam.
Although your plot to dominate the board is an interesting one. 
Send the gifts back! Okay, my issues come in here, but people cannot buy love. ARGH!
Annie-you are a good mom. Your 28 year old needs to be independent. The fly in your candle is gross.
Kit-when is the interview? I am thinking wonderful interview thoughts for you.
An update on my endless sport bra saga. The constrictive bra has been sent back to TE and I should be recieivng the sport version. The Moving Comfort, I am too huge Maia bra, has been sent back and I ordered from a different company, Moving Comfort's Melbourne bra. Wish me luck with this next installment of sport bras.Jennifer

I am not Knot, obviously, but I have an all time favourite crock pot cookbook. There has not been one bad recipe yet. The entire family loves the meals (huge feat in itself) and the prep time is usually 15 minutes. I use my crockpot all winter long. Originally Posted by maillotpois

Back home again!
Ahh! Sunday packed the U-haul truck (just barely made it with all the household goods into the medium sized truck, it was PACKED FULL!) drove to Tucson, got there around 7:30 p.m. dropped the truck off at the storage area; and had a nice late Mediterranean dinner with my sister and Bro in law.
Got up the next morning, unloaded the truck into the storage unit; after some juggling of units due to a mistake in what unit they reserved for us (Yes, moving with Uhaul is an Adventure!) Went with my sister to take a look at the house my parents are buying. It is nice, a little older than I would have purchased for them being that there is quite a bit of work that needs to be done, but it still is nice, it has an awesome backyard with a great view of the Catalina Mountains, nice desert plantings and a waterfall. The back of the house also overlooks a great big wash where they can't build anything so it is very private and quiet. I'm sure my folks will like it once they get settled.
Drove back home got home around 5:30 p.m. Had dinner with my folks who were staying at my house in Flag, then they left this morning to stay with my sister in Tucson till they can get into their new house; and I'm back at work trying to get caught up.
Now, maybe I can get back into a routine. Always have a hard time in the fall. Got to go start my swimming lessons, riding my trainer, etc. We have a hike in the grand canyon planned for November 10th, 11th so that will be fun! I'm finally doing my yoga and core exercises on a regular basis so I guess I'm on my way again!
Tonight I think is a good night for chile - maybe some chicken chile with green hatch peppers, some jalapenos and white beans! MMm MMM It's good to be home

It would be a great thing, if they'd get the flippin' paperwork done! I turned in the application in early August. My manager still hasn't done the paperwork to get it finished. Originally Posted by Bikingmomof3
