  1. G'morning all. Time to rise and shine and meet the new day. The sun is up and time for coffee, juice, eggs any way you like; assorted breads and sweet things, and oh yes, bacon along w/ham, sausages and grits. Pancakes and waffles coming up! How are y'all today?? What's on everybody's agenda??

  2. Working away here in Michigan :-) My hubby made me a ham and cheese omelet for breakfast (yum) and toast. What a good man.

    SOM, who's that in your avatar?

  3. Hi Sio, that is Oliver! Thanks for asking. I don't really have a great picture of Sammy&Oliver together, tried some shots on the weeknd and got some good ones of 'each' of them!

  4. Good morning, SOM! I'm doing great - FINALLY have a job! Long-term temp job with the USPS, training likely to begin on April 13th. Upside are wages; downside is 30-40 hours (not always 40), floating coverage, 6 day workweek, no benefits.

    Even better news, though! A friend of mine is starting with his new, rapidly growing employer on April 17th; they've gone from 5 to 50 people in the past 18 months. They hire only through referrals from employees, not by advertising. There may be a tech support position available. My friend is planning to refer me for an interview. Upside would be comparable wages, full benefits, 40 hour workweek, and weekends off; downside is that the software supports a troubled industry (auto).

    Good news, all the way around!

  9. Good Morning SOM and Sio....the coffee smells wonderful and the waffles look especially good this morning...have any strawberry jelly to go with them?
    Have to make a run to Home Depot today...I love to drool over everything there :)
    Sio, I hope your foot is improving...I sure enjoyed seeing those videos of the castle!
    SOM, didn't you have an avatar of Sammy and Oliver before?

  11. And good morning to Ann and CM! Great news about the job, Ann!
    How are the girls doing, CM?

  12. Hi CM, KATT, Ann. Great news Ann. You sound so upbeat today. Way to go!!! I am in that mood too! Katt, yes I do have an avatar of the two of them but I was trying for something new. I guess you really shouldn't 'mess' with 'success'. I love all the close ups of the kits in their avatars. *Hands Katt some homemade starwberry jelly*

  13. They are good Katt. Growing and getting so big.

    Posted 11 months ago by cricketsmama #

  14. Thanks, SOM, My Mom used to make the best strawberry jelly....ahhhh.
    I swear that once the kids get in school, the time goes even faster, CM!

  15. Hi everybody! SOM, Oliver looks like the cat that ate the canary (lol)

    I'm glad you all enjoyed the pictures. I found out the photojournalist has won TWO Emmy's for production. Now I'm even more impressed with the coverage he gave us. Used to be if a photographer showed up at an SCA event, they -always- found the barbarian boob babe in bunny fur, or the person dressed up as Captain Jack Sparrow (lol).

    Ooh, strawberry -jam-....I'm looking for inexpensive gifts for family for Christmas, maybe I'll make some strawberry jam when the Michigan berries come on...they are SO GOOD, but they don't transport well... too bad for all you non Michiganders, but wonderful for us :-) Strawberries are already so full of pectin that I might not need anything to boost it.

  16. Morning, all! Ann, that's great news about the job! Hooray! My hubby worked for the USPS his whole career, it seems like a good gig.

    SOM, I love the photo of Oliver, what an expression!

    Siobhan, I'm loling at "barbarian boob babe in bunny fur" - hee!

    Hi CM!!

    Hope everyone has a good day

  17. Hi all, just popping in to say hello and hope you all have a great day! Take care and will update you later! :)

  18. Hi everyone! The agenda, let's see, it's 19 pages long, the meeting starts at 7pm... oh, MY agenda! I've got a full plate of work to do today. Adjusted my work hours so that there's not a huge gap between work and the board meeting tonight and I've got a new boss. So far so good there.
    KH- your Mom and my Mom could have started a jelly making business; my Mom made the best grape jelly ever!

  19. Best of luck today, Molly!

    I've got allergies this morning but don't want to take anything for them. Trying to stay off any kind of med other than what the doctor prescriped and still being really good about what I eat.
    I have a meeting at noon with a potential new dog-sitting client. Unfortunately she's 30 minutes away and I really don't feel up to the drive. Oh well - I'll of course go anyway.
    I have some other thaings I need to get done and this week is just not very good for trying to take it easy and de-stress. Arrrrgh!

  20. Hi Joan, yup...Mom's Homemade Jellies :))
    Hi GD, how are you doing? You sure keep busy!

    Posted 11 months ago by katthays #

  21. Morning, Everyone! Yay, Ann!!!!! Great news!

    I've been to the gym but have to go and get cleaned up. Then I have a big outing to Sam's Club!

    I'm so worried about our MollyCat. I will anxiously be waiting for news.

  22. Hi WWM, I too, am thinking of MollyCat and wondering what time her tests are today.

  23. Morning all, the beach intenet has been up/down, so I'm here sporadically!.... nice day today, sunny, so we're going to get some lazy nap time! yea.... I think I'll drag out my paints today, still trying to figure out a color pallet, since I have no blue.... my first attempts may be strange! LOL

    Posted 11 months ago by AV #

  24. Ann - WHOO HOO!!! Fabulous news.
    CM - beautiful photos of Abbie
    GD - slow down !!!

    Everyone else - Hello !

    Nothing particularly remarkable in my little world. Working on a schedule so that the gym becomes a habit again. It's all I have left to combat osteopenia/osteoporosis. Getting a medication change.. have done (long ago) all the diet changes. Only other suggestion was to gain 10 pounds. NO thank you !

  25. Hi everyone...
    Thanks 2P :) I had to post Abbs in that outfit since I think of Renee. I thought everyone would like it.
    I hope the gym schedule works out for you 2P, I need to do that too but well you know how it is.
    AV, we want photos of your masterpieces. I am jealous you are on the beach relaxing..meanwhile it's chilly and I have crying babies...lol

    Posted 11 months ago by cricketsmama #

  26. CM - Yes I do know. I thought once my were older, I'd have more time. It's not working out that way... at least not yet. Trying to stay positive. Not so easy some days.

    Posted 11 months ago by 2 Popoki #

  27. CM, I'm laughing because I just put my first paint to canvas, and it's almost comical!..... I'm not very good at blending, so some of my brush strokes are a little "off".... plus, I need to watch a tutorial or something about how to get my horizon line more defined.... I think things are too smeary!!!... my sky is a green/grey, and my sea is bright green with purple highlighs!! (funny).... I'm working w/out blue, so I'm having to experiment with mixing colors, etc..... it's fun, nothing to hang up, but good for me to get a feel for the medium. When I get home, I've signed up for a class, so this is just me seeing what it's like, so I won't be a total fall off the vine newbie!!
