Ohhh, Scharfen-Berger Nibby bars are the best! I just picked a couple up at Beverages and More, where I bought no beverages.

Round three of the application/resume has made it's way downstairs to the analyst in HR. God, I hope it passes. I don't think I can do any more revisions.

I signed up for Cooking Light's cookie a day. They send a different cookie recipe each day, today's is Amaretti. They sound yummy, I'll add them to the baking list.

Shhhhh. I think I'm finished with my Christmas shopping. How'd I do that? Truly a first for me!

Nanci - I'm glad Addy is gaining weight. If I ever get to Florida, I want to meet all your critters.

Hey X..if you send those chocolate bud things to me do ya think they'd last the trip?

Lisa where did you find those march flies? Blech...

Right..Anyone know who wants to buy a historic pub in the middle of freakin nowhere in Australia..That's not saying much either...

my brain has melted.

[Bikingmomof3]

my brain has melted.

Does this mean everything is finished before your trip?

[Trek420]

I don't think so.

[AllezGirl]

Well, I missed my company Christmmas party, they had it while I was gone...but I got a digital camera and a whole bag of ecofriendly dark chocolate I'd be glad to share.

[KnottedYet]

Your company gave out digital cameras and chocolate?

Mine gave me a gift certificate which will cover almost half the cost of a pair of Brooks Beasts! yay! cuz i really really really need some running shoes.

mmm Wilbur Buds..... in my former life I spent many many weekends in Myerstown over about a 7 yr period. Each trip usually included an afternoon excursion to Littitz & to visit the Wilbur chocloate factory. I half expected to see Lucy and Ethel in the back room there where they demonstrated chocolate dipping.

withm - Let me guess, were you diving at Willow Springs Park? I love that place. It's my nearby get-away-from-it-all place. I mean really where else around here can ya go and dive for a train, airplane, trucks, a school bus, even an outhouse! The little beach area is nice too. Just swim/float around and then lay out on the floating docks... aaaaahh. The water is crystal clear spring water too. Here's a link if anyone is interested... http://www.willowspringspark.com/
I know what you mean about Lucy and Ethel. I get that same thought everytime I go in there.

KG - sorry about the play. That sucks. Cool though about Meatloaf. He's great in concert. Have fun.

Lisa - I guess that means you don't want any Buds? In my world, all chocolate is equally beautiful...

Knot - Melt down is not good. Good thing your about to get a total recharge... just in time. I know you don't need us to tell you to have a blast, it's guaranteed.

CC - Well, we could try and if they melt, you can just stiffen them up in the freezer and have a big slab to eat later. I have your addy so I'll send ya some. Hope you like them.

Trek - I'm predicting you get a phenominally better bonus this year.

AG - digital cameras? Jeez, I've never gotten anything, not even a company party. Very cool. My hospital is giving gift certs this year for some local places. I took mine for a free massage at our women's center. No brainer to me.

Thanks CA ladies for your input on my trip. Very much appreciated. I'll probably go with Oakland. Hey AG - wanna ride Cindy? (oh, c'mon - you knew that was coming... ) So didja call that dude that took you to the show yet? Watcha waitin' for? Go on, you know you wanna!

BMo3 - I'll be leaving here early Sat morning and should be there around noon. Work for you? Oh, the hitch is on and it's correctly installed too thanks to my bro. Yup, gotta love him. Good guy and most importantly, knows how to roll his bill correctly...

Edit: took out the pics. Sorry but I respect his privacy so they are gone.

'night TD.

[DirtDiva]

...If they could get him outside more that would help, but if 1 kid doesn't come with full winter gear then none of them get to go outside....

, just . Punishing a whole class because of the forgettfulness of one, most likely harried, parent?

Set lurk=ON

Noooo! Stay and play! X will send you chocky...

I tend to like lots of the different kinds and flavored ones offered by Green & Black:

(Notice how they list the cocoa content of each type.)

Can you get your mitts on G&B icecream where you are? *wipes up copious drool*



Only 16 days until I see my mtb again! Dear, sweet Tass, I love thee so!

[crazycanuck]

Hey X..is that your house? Funky!!!
So you've decided & doing the cinderella ride? I'll let you plan your trip & stop asking questions.
NO WARM SOCKS X...


Our work just gives us movie vouchers...I work for the investment/superannuation arm for a major Australian bank and that's all they can give us..
When i worked for the National bank in NZ..they gave us fudge & wine...I most of my fudge away...being a nice person...

blech it's still hot...Hey BM03..here's another weather link for you. www.bom.gov.au

SKnot fixed our printer. Kids a jeeenious, I tell ya! Whew! So happy!

Got my work loaded up on my brand new thumbdrive. (never used one before) Got my paper copies to wrestle with on the airplane. Working on vacation, but hopefully I can get most of it done on the plane and only need a couple hours to finish stuff up later.

There is something wonderfully joyful about RuPaul singing "all I want for Christmas is my breast implants... liposuction... face lifted, I want my face *snatched*... ribs removed" Guess I'm just twisted.

NObody NOBODY can sing "Santa Baby" like Eartha Kitt. Sorry, RuPaul, it just isn't your song.

I've only seen him once when he wasn't in drag. He looked pretty handsome. I just wanna know how he ends up with more cleavage than I've got. (I know, electrical tape... but I don't wanna do that! )

Have a good week, y'all! See ya later!

[Xrayted]

To clarify, after I took those pics, I crawled up under there next to him and helped put the hitch on. I've got skills - and no one would ever mistake me for a lazy person.
CC - Nah, my house is a contemporary rancher. I just love the architecture here. High cathedral ceilings, large windows looking out into the woods... yet very small and cozy. Just the way I like it. That's the back side of his A-frame. The other side is all windows and a huge deck he built himself overlooking a wonderful pond that I've boated/fished in more than once. He's got tons of ducks who live there and a few swans too. I almost bought that place when it was for sale but the commute was too long. I didn't even know he was looking at it until he showed me a pic of the house he just bought. We really do have the same tastes on so many things. I'm not sure about the green stain he did though.

Have a great vacation Knot!! Glad you got everything to a manageable level. Great kid there, you must be so proud!

AG - Very cool...

BMo3 - I have a few details I need to iron out with your help. Like what Chinese dish is your favorite and what kind of cookies we're gonna bake. Ya know, just the important stuff.

Any more takers on the Buds? PM me if you want some. Well, too much to do again before work. I always manage to run out of time.

later!

-X.

Lisa - I guess that means you don't want any Buds? In my world, all chocolate is equally beautiful...

Trouble is, I'd have to eat a half pound of them to feel...choco-fied. And we all know where that half pound would wind up...right on my hips!
Must...stick...with...strong chocolate...so I...don't eat....too much!

[Bikingmomof3]

Pretty much where it ends up on me, but it never stops me. I have treats like that so infrequently.

Busted! Yeah I used to help teach diving, and we took our classes up there for check-outs. Some of those trips were brrrr cold. Here are some pix from two different chilly Nov. weekends up there. It's sort of biking related - some of these guys ride bikes when they aren't diving. The first shows some pretty good waves on the quarry - little whitecaps! Next is the teaching staff. And how we amused ourselves after the diving was done. Sadly the entire park has been sold, and they are supposed to close on the deal the end of the month. I don't know what will happen after that. The owners were always really great for us - we were probably up there 15-20 weekends a year for a while. Maybe I'll have to go do the New Year's Dive up there for one last time.
