I've been up sine 7:30, just haven't had time to get here.

Angela, Lorriane, and Woody - thanks for the comments on the ANN. At first I really hesitated to volunteer, (I am one person who NEVER went on line looking for Clay news - I just got it all here), but now I'm really having fun with it (thanks for suggesting that I do that, Woody). I sat here last night laughing my fool head off at the Broads "Goodbye Crooky Toof" - good thing Lewis was asleep - he would have sent me away! 

Happy - thanks for the Juice. We had slight damage (repaired it all yesterday). There were torndoes in the Shreveport/Bossier area, and 41 people were injured - thank God no one was killed.

Lorraine - I'm happy that KatKat like her beads. Saturday I talked to son Lewis, who said that Wild Baby had on all of her beads that she caught at their childrens' parade - he said she had so many on that he didn't know how she walked! 

Tammy - congratulations on the day off. You hve been a good influence this morning - I walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes (went to the track last night, too). I also joined the "Best Life Possible" program that Oprah started last week with her trainer (an on line program). I just need somebody to push me every day - even if it is only on line. I will post what I eat and how much exercise I get every day, and will get suggestions as to what else I should be doing. Thank goodness Chistopher wasn't hurt - cars can be replaced - sons can't.

Woody - Happy Birthday to young son! 

Philly - I watched your Montage last night/this morning 

Glory -  I hope you have a great day.

dudley - after a trip to the post office and grocery store, I'm headed back outside - I may even stop by the plant store to see what has come in since last week. If nothing else, I'm planting onions today.

Have some fun today, everybody!

[lorraine]

JUST CHECKING IN FROM WORK.  I HAD NO TROUBLE WHATSOVER AND GOT HERE AROUND 9:30.  THE HIGHWAYS WERE BEAUTIFUL BUT DID MANAGE TO RUN INTO A FEW CRAZY PEOPLE.

JANET - YOUR SO SWEET.  I AM SAFE AND SOUND FOR NOW.  SEE YOU WORRY ABOUT ME AND I WORRY ABOUT YOU AND WE BOTH WORRY ABOUT CLAY.

PRISSY - I CAN'T WAIT TO FEEL 74 DEGREES AGAIN.  HAVE A GOOD DAY.

GLORY - I AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH A COLOSOTOMY.  MY MOM HAD ONE AND WAS REALLY UPSET WITH IT.  BUT I AM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU HAVE SOMEONE TO TALK WITH AND FIND ABOUT A LOT OF INFO. 

TAMMYKINS - I WILL TRY AND CALL YOU IN A FEW.  I HOPE YOU ARE OKAY.

DUDLEY - I CANNOT WAIT TO START WORKING OUTSIDE AND FEEL THOSE NICE TEMPS AGAIN.  HAVE A GOOD DAY YOURSELF.

WELL GOT TO RUN.

It's still morning, so I can be with the morning crew.   

Dudley,  glad you had a good weekend.   We can't wait for Spring, but we have been pretty lucky so far.  Spring is coming in like a lion instead of a lamb.   This is why I am always backwards.  See, there is a reason. 

Lorraine, I didn't think you would go to work.  Bravo!  you are getting braver as you get older.   I had to change the appointment for another week.   It will be like another year waiting.   It is so nice that KatKat keeps the house lively.
I can't wait to be a grandmother.   But, we will see what happens.  By the way, I did make chicken soup last night.   It's easier to spread around, right.  Hey, our Dunkin Donuts has quite a few males going in and out.  You may want to visit it sometime.

Tammy, what a morning, huh.   Never a dull moment in our homes.   Like I said the other day, these are supposed to be the more calming years.   Those recipes sound so good.   I will have to try them.   The dogs sounded so funny with their snoring.     Good luck the rest of the day.  I hope the parts on the car will be fixed easily. 

Woody, happy birthday to 21 yr. old!   Would you want to be 21 again?  I would if I was way back in the year that I actually turned 21; today,  I don't think so.  I would like to go back at least 10 years though.   Keep warm. 

Happy, the land of ice and snow, huh!?  Please be careful in all of that mess.  My hubby, Dick, just went back to work today.  I hope he keeps his feet on the ground! 

Prissy, 74 degrees!!!  Oh, man, I am so jealous!  I saw The Departed, Dream Girls and The Devil Wears Prada and Little Miss Sunshine.   I think I liked Dream Girls the best.  Barbara Walters was kind of surprised that Alan Arkin got the Oscar instead of Eddie Murhpy.  I was too.  He had a small part.  There was a lot of hype with Little Miss Sunshine.  It wasn't oscar worthy in my opinion.   That's just me. 

Marilyn, I loved the YouTube.   I wish I were dancing with him.  I wish I had those white teeth too.    He looked so comfortable with Juliet.  I hope they have him on again soon.

Philly, I downloaded your montage.  I will view it in a few minutes.  You always do such good work! 

Jayne, I didn't get a chance to send my congratulations for Katie.   I keep missing you.   That's not good!

Angela, sorry about no plowing for Tony.   It wasn't a good year here either.   You never know what's in store yet though.
Who said early spring??  Did you hear Simon Cowel's remarks about Jennifer H.  "Well, now we have a problem because whoever we kick off will think they are going to get an oscar."     Did he ever say anything good about her.   I didn't hear if if he did.  He needs therapy!

 

[CT loves Clay]

AC, I see you are just going to lay low today.  Have a good day.

Janet, glad to see your back is somewhat better.  I hope it keeps up.

Glory, I am so happy you have found some support and can talk to some people.   A  colostomy isn't easy to deal with and it takes a lot of guts.  You have them, Glory.  You have always been one of our role models here.  My aunt has had one for over 40 years.  Have a good day.  Oh, did you get that elephant out of those PJ's???

Pepe, what's happening at your house today?  I bet you have a lot of snow and ice going on too.   Be careful.

Evelyn,  are you baking little snowmen??   

Frankie, I hope you are safe and sound with lots of warmth surrounding you.   I couldn't get mom to the wound center today.  I am upset about it, but we will just have to wait another week.   A lot can happen in a week, but I will keep my fingers crossed; no, everything crossed.   Do you have any little ones with you today?

Lolita, where are you?  There must be someone there that is keeping you mighty busy.  I hope there is some fun involved.

Ok, I have to go and tend to my cooking before I burn something (again.)

[Glory]

                             LORRAINE I AM NOT UPSET WITH IT AT ALL, HECK IF IT WASN'T FOR THIS I WOULD BE PUSHING UP DAISES. I JUST HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS EVERY NOW AND THEN. THEY TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING UNDER THE SON. IT IS A SITE FROM THE UK THEY DO NOT LIKE SIMON EITHER.

                          WELL I CANCELLED MY ADJUSTMEN TODAY JUST DID NOT FEEL LIKE GOING. MADE ONE FOR THURSDAY.
WELL BETTER REALLY GET GOING NOW HAVE A GOOD ONE.LOVE YOU ALL.

[Glory]

                               LINDA NO THE ELEPHANT IS NOW TRYING TO ZIP HER JEANS  , YEAH THEY ARE A GREAT BUNCH ALL HAVE HAD SIMILAR THINGS DONE TO THEM. LIFE IS GOOD.

[Glory]

                                   BOY AM I MAD I ORERED TWO PR OF SPECIAL UNDIES LAST NIGHT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE 25.00 THEY CHARGED ME 58.00 IT WAS FROM THE UK. IF THEY ARE NOT MADE OF GOLD THEY WILL GO BACK I GUESS IT WAS SHIPPING, WHAT A RACKET.

Sounds like $25.00 each plus shipping, tax.    Your tushy is worth it's weight in gold!!!!

[CT loves Clay]

Philly, very nice!  I would love to dance with him to that song, The Nearness of You!  Beautiful pictures of him.  Another winner!

[Tammy]

I have been watching TV, exercising and lazying around with my girls on the couch.. I love it!  I haven't seen Chris's car yet... I hope its not that bad!

Glory
Its amazing all of the support and help sites one can find on the internet.. I'm glad that site is helpful to you.. You are too funny talking about your underwear order..

Marilyn
Thats wonderful Chris shoveled the driveway for you..

Lorraine
How is it back to work today?  I hope you didnt hurt your back shoveling.

Woody
Happy Birthday to your son.   Sean turned 21 last year. I don't know where the time went..   That doesn't look like Carla in her Avie..

Evelyn
There were no police involved in Chris's accident... He got back in the car and drove to work.. There was no damage to the guardrail but there supposedly is damage to his car..   I have hit a guard rail years and years ago but I was never charged to fix it..

Janet
I don't know why they haven't ordered a blood test in the Anna Nicole case either.. I think they should do it and find out who the dad is..

Prissy
Enjoy your rehearsals tonight.. The 70's are my favorite temperatures.  Enjoy your weather..

Philly
Thanks for the montage.. Ill check it out after dinner..

Linda
Would you believe I forgot to buy breadcrumbs for my chicken..    I'm going to make my own.  The food processor comes in handy..   Did you look for any crock pot recipes yet?

[lorraine]

I ACTUALLY RAN OUT TO THE BANK AT LUNCH IT FELT PRETTY NICE OUTSIDE.  IT ISN'T TOO BAD FOR A BLUE MONDAY.

LINDA - I HAD A FEELING YOU WOULDN'T BE TAKING MOM.  EARLIER THIS MORNING IT WAS PRETTY BAD OUT.  YEP I AM GETTING TO BE A BIG GIRL NOW AND DRIVING IN THE SNOW.   MUST CHECK OUT THAT DUNKIN DONUTS.  I STILL NEED TO GO BACK TO CHILI'S WHERE I MET JEFF.

GLORY - I TELL YOU I JUST LOVE YOUR OUTLOOK ON LIFE.  YOU MAKE ME LAUGH AND "LIFE IS GOOD" REALLY HELPS US ALL.

TAMMYKINS - IT REALLY WASN'T TOO BAD COMING BACK TO WORK.  NOT REALLY MUCH OF A CHOICE IN THE MATTER THOUGH.  SURE HOPE THE CAR ISN'T TOO BAD BUT EVEN THE SMALLEST BUMP CAN REALLY COST.

FRANKIE - SHE WANTED TO WEAR THEM TO BED WITH HER BUT I THOUGHT SHE WOULD CHOKE HERSELF.  SHE IS SUCH A JOY AND A VERY AFFECTIONATE LITTLE GIRL.  HEY JUST LIKE GRANDMA.  SURE HOPE HER GRANDPA CLAY WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH HER AS WELL.

WELL BACK TO THE GRIND.

Hi.  I had a nice weekend. I watched Kris' 2 boys for a few hours on Saturday. That was fun. And I watched the Oscars last night. Overall it was a good show. The only movie of the Best Picture nominees I saw was the Departed and it was really good so I was happy with that. I'm proud of Jennifer and I loved the Dreamgirls medley of songs. That was the highlight to me.

The weather is beautiful here. It was scary on Saturday with the very strong winds but yesterday was great. The highs all week are supposed to be in the 70s and 80s.

Woody, happy birthday to your son.

Hi Rainey, Glory, Tammy, Linda, Frankie and Prissy.  I hope everyone is having a great day.

[lorraine]

HI KRISTA -   GLAD TO SEE YOU HAD A GOOD WEEKEND.  I DID TOO.  EXCEPT FOR THE SNOW TODAY WHICH IS ALREADY MELTING IT WASN'T TOO BAD OF A BLUE MONDAY.

[fhmmany2]

 

I'm back from running errands - I've changed into a pair of old shorts (thank God nobody can see through their computer screen!  ), and I'm going to wash my car - it is sunny and beautiful outside (except that the wind is blowing again). The Clay maid really needs to come, because I am not in the mood to do anything in the house - glad you can't see that, either!

Linda - Sorry the appointment had to be rescheduled - I know you are disappointed. I hope that the new treatment will be something that will help her. My sister just called - Mother is having a bad day - theraphy just exhausted her - she says because she didn't sleep well last night. Sister, SIL, and Brother keep telling me to wait to come up until she is home, but I don't know - it's hard to sit here without really knowing what is going on - even though I talk Mom at least twice a day.

Glory - you have a great attitude - and I doubt that "Elephant" thing! 

Hello, Krista!

Hope all of you up north are staying warm, and that your electricity stays on - I see a lot of places have lost power.


Have a good afternoon!

[Tammy]

Chris came home and his car is not looking very good.. I'm pretty depressed about it.. I'm waiting for Joe to come home so we can make some decisions since he is on our insurance policy..  I wish i was rich..  


Frankie
I forgot to mention how proud I am that you are taking care of yourself by exercising.. It makes me happy to know that  I could help in motivating you.. Lorraine and I motivate each other.. I think everyone needs a motivational buddy..   They are talking about people that are doing well that have been on Idol on The Tv Guide Channel.. They will be talking about Elliot soon..

Hello Fantasy..

[fhmmany2]

  Tammy - I wish I was rich, too - I'd send you some money. We really need to win that lottery! (I can see it now - a Claymaniacs house built in a certain neighborhood in Raleigh!)  As I keep telling Woody - I remember the days when both kids were in college at the same time, and they both had cars that we had to insure - hold on - they really will be grown some day.  Things like this just happen - but he wasn't hurt, so "this too shall pass".

[lorraine]

Tammykins - it never ends does it.  No matter what ages they are.  Hang in there and hopefully something can be done through the insurance.

Frankie - you are making me jealous with shorts on.  That's enough.   My mom use to worry so much about her bills but would say "I was born broke and will die broke" and yep it did happen that way.  I don't want to be rich but not living from one paycheck to another.   

[lorraine]

Frankie - sorry your mom didn't have a good day.  Darn it is so hard isn't it.  Somedays I feel like I am being pulled in different directions as I am sure you do sometimes as well.  I would say dear Lord enough is enough.  But he knew how much I could handle.

[lorraine]

WELL LESS THAN FIFTEEN MINUTES TO GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE.  I JUST SHOWED MY BOSS IN THE OFFICE PICS OF MY CLAY SHRINE.  YEP    IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BUT I AM JUST SO PROUD.

SEE EVERYONE LATER, MAYBE.

I HAVE TO STAY UP FOR "24" AND THAT IS GOING TO REALLY BE PUSHING IT.
