Motor City Red Thong Mafia #39 :: There's Something About Us (Rated R)

[mrs. c.]

I am going to buy some roses for Al and Woody and take them to the cemetery on this beautiful sunny afternoon.
I have been treating myself to roses every week, great deal at one of our discount grocery stores~~~5 roses for $5.00 Woody loved roses so very much
Then off to have dinner with Mom, I made some chili for the two of us~~~Beth don't even go there

[mrs. c.]

Boy you could shoot a cannon through this place

[caromiller]

Hi Sharon. My life should settle down now. My sister goes back to Florida tomorrow.

[cl4clay]

Where is everyone > Did we leave them in the old house. I see we have a nice clean house.

Where  is everyone? Well, it's Saturday night, maybe everyone went out.

[mrs. c.]

We are expecting freezing rain tomorrow afternoon, I am so glad I have nowhere to go, I'll be able to get started on the business year end and inventory count, which I really hate doing

[Beth]

I'm here, but almost ready for bed.  We have church on Saturday nights.

Hi Peeps! 

It is a quiet Saturday night (except on Broadway)! 

I spent a good part of my day helping my son move into his apartment.  He will be getting a divorce and (for now at least) he is starting over in an apartment with second hand furniture and probably a lot of time alone.  He is planning on having his son, Derek, age 8, to join him for a breakfast in a restaurant tomorrow morning and then a day together at Tim's apartment.  Life's changes . . . . .  very challenging.

We are also expecting some hazardous road conditions tomorrow.  If so, I will hibernate.    I wanted to go to Green Bay and visit my sister-in-law in the hospital.  She has been very seriously ill and I hope she gets strong enough to get back home.

I think I said HAPPY NEW YEAR in our old thread . . . .but it is worth repeating!

JAN - What a lovely picture of John Travolta and his son!  So sad.

MEESA -  Absolutely LOVE that picture of Clay in the tower at the beginning of Spamalot.  Great memories.  This must be such an emotional weekend for Clay (and those fans who are lucky enough to be in the audience during his final shows)! 

[mrs. c.]

Boy I couldn't sleep in if I tried with these three you'd think they were starving in the morning
Coffee, tea and hot chocolate are hot and ready. I have some Panera bagels and lots of different cream cheese this morning, also a big bowl of fresh fruit~~~blackberries, kiwi and bananas.

[mrs. c.]

Meesa, how's Wes???  we need an update please , and how's Jonathan???

[Pepe]

SHARON, lovely breakfast, thank you so much!!!!  I had a bad night, I was running from a stalker, he was always chasing me, he looked like the guy that played RoseAnn's husband on that ROSEANN tv show!!!!  Gosh how scary.  I remember sitting up in bed and reaching and Alli jumped on me trying to figure out what in the he*l I was doing.  Serves me right for starting a new murder mystery book last evening.

BARB, so sad for your grandson.  The poor little guy at the age of  8 has to figure out why dad is living in an apartment now.  I feel so bad for the family.  My DIL who divorced my son 12  years ago thought she was missing something so filed for divorce, well she doesn't have all those boyfriends she thought she would have and never remarried and still tries to make life miserable for my son.  What a mess!! 

EVELYN, miss you!!!  Seemed funny not to have you talking about your cookies you made for Christmas, and to hear what you fed Bozena.  So happy you gals had a great time together.  Are you planning to go to Florida soon?  Sure wish you would to get out of this winter weather for a while.

Was gone most of the day yesterday.  Had to get some paint for a bedroom, get a few groceries at Walmart $150 yikes what did I buy!!!!!!!  Than to Sears outlet to check of refrigerators.  I am thinking of putting mine in the garage and buying one that is all refrigerator with no freezer.  I have a chest type freezer in the garage, so really don't need more freezer room but sure do need more refrigerator room.  Than had a McDonalds for lunch. 

[mrs. c.]

Hiya Shirley
What color are you painting the bedroom???
I just unplugged the fridge we have in the basement, that is really only used in the summertime, didn't want to waste the electricity, and got it all cleaned out and defrosted.  I may even get rid of it, it's old, and get a small bar fridge to use.

[KSChristian4Clay]

Meesa, how's Wes???  we need an update please , and how's Jonathan???

Wes is doing great! We went to an out of town delivery yesterday (over 30 miles each way). His boss let me go along.  Still taking things slowly, but they're going awesome! Jonathan is still in a cast. I think he has at least 2-3 weeks before he's out of a cast.

Good morning everyone! 

[*joemomma]

Mornin....


I feel like CRAP. 
I got the crud that's goin around I guess. Up all night last night.

Doesn't help that bein sick PISSES ME OFF...so I walk around bitchin about it.
I cussed out my sore throat at 4 a.m.  Then I told off my stuffy yet itchy- but sometimes runny nose at 7.

Now that I've skeered the hell outta all my symptoms, they aren't actin up as much.
(Or could be the Benedryl kicked in)

What's that old saying??



Starve a fever, curse a cold?

 

[*joemomma]

That's a pretty color lipstick that our Boogerhead is wearin.

Wonder if he'd loan it to me?

Uh oh....

YOU STUPID SNEEZIE YOU GO AWAY YOU PIECE OF I'M SICK OF YOUR AND I'M RUNNIN OUTTA KLEENEX

I'm eatin a banana   

[bisi]

Morning ladies,

You moved without me!  Had another one of my lazy days yesterday (does that mean I'm getting even older?) but thoroughly enjoyeed it, I must say. I have figured out my 'work schedule" for this pay period and decided I would be okay to take another day off - will just make it up when Cristien isn't here.  He goes home tomorrow. He has been here since Christmas day so it is going to be really hard to let him go.  He just belongs here, dang it!!!  I got him that Smart Cycle for Christmas and he is so enjoying that (I don't get to watch TV so much anymore but I don't care).  We even had to take it to Aunt Julie's house with us.  He got a ton of toys but he has spent almost no time at all with anything but that cycle.  I'm sure he will, once I get everything organized so he can easily find them all and actually see what he has, which I will do this week when the tree goes - am really ready for that now!

Sharon, you practically have a new house, all in all.  Wish we could all see it in person - what fun that would be. Perhaps, if we don't get a tour this summer (or if we do and he comes to Toronto) we can manage that.  I would love to see Stratford as well.  With all that redoing and moving of things, I'm surprised you haven't found your camera.  

Barb, so sorry to hear about your son. It's scary when there are children involved (especially when your son is the father and not your daughter the mother as I think fathers usually get the shaft - wonder why I think that?).  I hope you can stay on good terms with your DIL so she doesn't try to keep you away from the children (Just Derek or more?) My heart goes out to you, your son and your grandchildren - it is sooo difficult! What a time to get this awful kind of news!

Kim, sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. I finally got some steroids and am now starting, finally, to be able to breathe somewhat better - it has been tough for a couple of weeks. Must have been a virus, although I didn't feel really ill this time, just short of breath with a cough and wheezing.  I am in the middle of the RX now. Steroids - hate 'em but also love 'em. Just glad I don't have to take them on a daily basis any longer.

Shirley, sounds like you are busy. What are you painting? Yep, it doesn't take much to spend a small fortune every time you leave your house these days, does it?  I hate to even go inside a store anymore.  My cupboards are looking pretty bare after a week of the "boys" being here, too, though. Guess I'm gonna have to grin and spend.

Meesa, do we get a pic of your Bf?  Did you have to take a day off from your many jobs to take your day trip with him? Sounds like fun.

Bozena, will you go to a casino with me and play for me - puleeze? Boy, are you a lucky duck.  Good for you.  Evelyn, my luck is more along the lines of yours.  Glad you had so much fun.  It's always hard when it ends, though. I guess it's time for life to get back to normal now for all of us. It's good and also sad to have the holidays end.  Won't miss the stress though.

Beth and Jan, it is so scary when someone loses a child. I think we are shocked, especially when it is someone who seems to have everything, like John Travolta. I do feel so sad for his family - they seem like very nice people.  I don't have small children anymore but I do have small grandchildren, so those thoughts are really scary for me, too.  Pray God whatever lessons there are in losing a child aren't ours to have to learn. I don't think I could handle it at all.

Carolyn, glad you have been taking some time to spend with your family - it sucks to not have a regular salaried check - I know that for a fact!

Mary. I hope you are feeilng better - any word on when your surgery is going to be?  I miss you, lady! Any word on Brandon - has he been deployed yet?

  to Karen, Cindy (where are u?), Chrisie (I know where you are but we miss u just the same), Ann (it's not the same without you here), Anita (hey, where are u? - time to check in).  Peggy (you, too, lady - we miss you), Debi (know you are busy with the new granddaughter. What a wonderful Christmas you must have had. We miss you, too), Becky (I know we will 'see' you soon -  how's your mom?)

Love to all - now I do have to work (darn it).

B

Kim, try an orange - you do have those in Florida, don't you?

[*joemomma]

   Hi B!   

Hey lookit this. It says on the box...
"Benedryl may cause excitability, especially in young children."

  

Later!

Just part of the reason I love you

[mrs. c.]

B. how I wish you could all come up here to see me this summer, what fun we'd have I'd keep us busy for a weekend let me tell ya
I bet it will be so hard to let Cristien go back after having him this long with you he really does belong with all of you
I think the camera must be in Al's car, my nephew bought the car, and I bet hasn't even looked through the trunk or back seat yet I have to remember to ask him
