Good Monday Morning DU!

[BlondieK143]

Well, how was everyone's weekend? Did you party? Relax? Catch up on laundry? :donut: Whatever you did, it's off to work or whatever else you do during the week. Hope you have a greeeaaaat day! Wake up!! :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. Hi BlondieK. This weekend it was birthday party on Saturday...Graduation

party on Sunday, and no rest for the weary. Now there is laundry to do, a house to clean, a doctor's appointment, a visit to the fruit and deli market, the grocery store...and on and on! Have a great day!!!

:hi:

[BlondieK143]

3. Wow!

Sounds like a full day! Hope everything gets done and you have a great day! :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. Keeps me out of trouble!

It's going to be 72 and breezy today, so it will be a terrific day! Hope yours is the same. :7

[BlondieK143]

36. That's wonderful!

Wish our weather would get that way! It's been in the 90s for the past few weeks!

[Racenut20]

2. GM Blondie. Difficult day with difficult decisions.

Should we go to the beach or the pool.

Eat breakfast at the beach or at home.

Clean the car ??? naw forget that.

Anypath, if I missed it, did you get your new auto?

[BlondieK143]

4. Yeah, those decisions suck!

Wish they were my choices! The beach would be soo nice right now. Whatever you decide, have a good time and swim for me too!

Nope, didn't get the auto. Long story.

[Racenut20]

6. Am sorry bout the auto. Smile. It gets better

Like last night when I talked to my son, who is heading out for his last semester at Mizzou. Some dream of the cap & gown, graduation parties, etc. The rest of us dream of the end of tuition bills. LOL.

[BlondieK143]

8. hahaha!

Wow, you're such great parents! Wish mine would pick up the tuition!

[Racenut20]

10. Are you in school now?

I remember you mentioning those "fender eating guard rails" near Panama City. Didn't know if you were on spring break or living there.

[BlondieK143]

12. WISH I was living there!

But that was just a Spring Break trip. I hope to be in school by the spring. I'm getting my GED soon (hopefully, car situation permitting).

[Racenut20]

15. Da Boy"

spring breaked there once a couple of years ago. For a while we (oops, there isn't a we, just force of habit from the corporate world) For a while I thought he was majoring in spring break, but then the last couple of years he got a little more serious about it all. Discovered they still had a Deans honor roll, and the internet could be used for something other than video games.

Where DO you live? And when do you take your GED exam?

[BlondieK143]

17. Ah, sorry about the "we"

Majoring in Spring Break? Wow, every frat boy/sorority girl's dream. :D I mean that in the nicest way possible. Glad to hear he's doing so well though! Where's he going?

I live in East TN. And I'll be taking the exam whenever I can get a car (and the morning off) to take it.

[Racenut20]

23. East Tenn, the pretty part.

Kid is at school in Missouri. The Spring break and fall break things were a good way to avoid working and classroom responsiblities. He is not a Greek, just adoped some of my old hippie traits from days gone by I guess. LOL.

You sound like a bright and serious young lady. There are ways to work things out (before Shrub completely destroys the support system)I am on my third and last college student. This is my tenth year of wrestling with such things as tuition, filling the rice bowl, etc.
Have one teacher and one magazine writer (the sweetie daughter), and a beautiful daughter in law. Three GrandKats, life is good.

[BlondieK143]

26. Wow, way to go!

Sounds like you have an amazing bunch of kids! That's really great! You must be really proud of them.

and thank you for the compliments, it's nice to hear them from someone who has kids of their own and isn't scolding me! :hug:

[Racenut20]

28. How could anyone scold a Clark supporter. LOL

And yes, I do kind of like the young ones. Spent a lot of my many many years working with young people. Coaching sports, sub-teaching high schools, officiating sports, etc. It has been the most enjoyable part of life. Have yet to find a "bad kid", but there have been a lot of parents I would have like to given ten pounds of whopass.

[BlondieK143]

29. Hey, can I add two names to that list?

My "parents" deserve a pretty big case of whoopass as well.

Clark fan yourself, eh?

[Racenut20]

33. Still think the General to be the best candidate

Probably the only one who could win.
Parents are just something we children tolorate until we don't have to anymore. LOL. But my parents had an element of strength and character that I could never duplicate. Old fashioned patriots, who did think, and would have continued to think this current crop of patriots to be jackasses.

[BlondieK143]

35. Amen to that!

I think America really missed out on a great opportunity. :( It's sad really. But I don't think that we've seen the last of him. If (and hopefully when) Kerry is elected, I think he'll be a vital part of the administration (or at least that's what I'm telling myself will happen). He's the first candidate I've ever been able to volunteer for, and it's amazing knowing I possibly changed one vote. I don't think we're out of the woods yet, there's so much more to be done before Bush gets his pink slip. I just hope people don't forget that.

haha. LOVE that sentence! So very true! Hard to think that way once I'll be a parent though. That's one thing I've vowed - never to be like mine. And it's great that your's were so incredible. I see now where you get it from. :)

[Racenut20]

38. There are other campaigns

Senator Nelson is already focused on his 06 reelection campaign because "darling Katherine" is already running against him.

Congressman Jim Davis, Dem/Tampa is a likely candidate for Governor, and after 8 years of Jebbie we really need to do something right.

And then there is the BIG campaign. For the Gators to kick UT's Butt.

[BlondieK143]

41. Oooooh you did NOT just go there!

Gators can suck UT butt! :P

[Racenut20]

47. Hon, if your not a gator, you are gator bait. LOL

[BlondieK143]

49. Oh puhlease.

The only thing you HAD going for you was a coach with a temper. There's nothing left.

[Racenut20]

59. I give.

I won't speak ill of UT all football season. You have to agree not to berate NASCAR, DEI, or JoeGibbsRacing.

Besides, I honestly feel that with the qb and set of receivers that the Gators have, the "old ball coach" would score 50 points a game, but this "leadership" they have now won't know how to use them.

OK, time to hit the beach and waste away another day of "the good life". The sun is out. The Gulf water is 86 degrees. Caddy's has a new delivery of BBQ and BudLite. Now if there were only a nice looking rich widow or two......awwwwwwwwww the dreams we do have. hehe

[Aftershock]

5. G'morning.

I've been up for the past 22 hours. I'm having some bad side effects to some medicine I just started taking.

Oh well. Hopefully the insomnia won't last long...

[BlondieK143]

7. I'm sorry!

Hope the affects wear off soon. :( Definitely know what insomnia can be like. Hope you get to sleep soon!

[tcfrogs]

9. Morning Blondie!!!

:hi:

[BlondieK143]

11. Hey!

:hi: How are ya this morning?

[tcfrogs]

43. I'm great

glad to see you're in a good mood this morning!

[BlondieK143]

44. Well, I try.

And considering I only got 1 1/2 hours of sleep last night, I figured I might as well be chipper! Glad to see that you're doing great!

[Political_Junkie]

13. Good Morning, All.

Sorry about the car thing, Blondie. :hug:

[BlondieK143]

14. Ah, it's okay.

But I appreciate the thought. My "father" aka sperm donor, really let me down.

But anyways, how are YOU?

[Political_Junkie]

19. Ha, that's funny,

I never met anyone else who called their father that, thought I was the only one!
I'm good, spent the day yesterday fighting a system crash on my computer, seems to be stable now. Wasted my whole Sunday though. :mad:

[BlondieK143]

21. Nope, I feel your pain!

Bastards I tell ya. :D

That sucks! Sorry your Sunday was wasted, but did you at least have a good Saturday?

[Political_Junkie]

24. Had a wonderful and productive Saturday.

Now that our two housemates are gone I am able to spread out into a larger space. I was very cramped before. My own fault really, too much stuff! Maybe I should have a yard sale...

Anyway, gotta run. See ya all later. Blondie, :hug: don't worry about the car thing, it'll all work out!

[BlondieK143]

27. Thanks!

Have a great day! See ya tomorrow! :hug:

[Scooter24]

16. Good Morning sweetie :)

:hug:

It's a great day! :)

Flew in to Boston last night, have a few GLBT and Youth meetings to attend in the afternoon then I'm free for the day. I wish I could have stayed the entire week, but I have to get back home Wednesday for work (more budget meetings), But.. I leave for vacation this Saturday -- 7-day Cruise to the Caribbean.. hehe. I'll have to take pics for ya :)

When I get back from vacation, I have to get my college schedule set so I am not in a panic come late August. One more semester to go, then Law School. :P

So, anything good going on in your part of the country?

[BlondieK143]

18. Hey there!

Glad to hear things are going so well for you! Have an awesome time in Boston while you're there! :D I'm so jealous! And definitely jealous about the cruise! Sure you can't stow me away in your suitcase? Definitely take pics!

Not much really. Living alone is very nice. :) Weekend was pretty relaxing. That's about it.

[Scooter24]

20. You mean..

there weren't any "relations" with hot men this weekend?

:spank:

I'm so bad. lol

[BlondieK143]

22. Errr.... welll......

:D

My man will be in town next Monday (hopefully) So yeah, relations are being put off until then. hehe

[Guy_Montag]

30. Morning Blondie,

How are you? Did you have a good weekend?

[BlondieK143]

31. Hey!!

It's been awhile since I've heard from you! How are ya doing?? I'm doing pretty good. Weekend was nice and quiet (well, except for Saturday night). I cooked for a friend then another came over to hang out. What about you?

[Guy_Montag]

32. I've been away on business,

3 weeks staying in a crappy student hall.

I was just begining to develop a social life when I had to come home.

Still it's nice to be back.

[BlondieK143]

34. It's nice to have you back!

Sorry to hear it was cut short when you were having a good time. Do you do that often or will you be around here for awhile?

[Guy_Montag]

37. I should be off to Turkey,

in about 4 weeks. Which will be a damn site better than the place I was staying the last few weeks - a town in the south of England.

The location of my job is very political, so I can see myself spending a lot of time in the other town, which is crap. I would rather live in one place or the other, not spending half my time in each. Grrr.

[BlondieK143]

39. That kind of sucks!

But look at it this way, sooooo many people never get to travel like that. You should consider yourself lucky. Sure, it may not be convenient and you may not be able to settle in one place right now, but look at all you're getting to see!

[Brewman_Jax]

40. G'day, Blondie!

:hi:

How was the day off? What did you cook this time? :hug:

The home team lost on Saturday, but now they have some needed rest days. Brazil won the Copa America. The score was 2-2 at the end, so they had to have a penalty kick shootout to get a winner. :(

[BlondieK143]

42. Hey you!

:hug:

Had a WONDERFUL day off! I caught up on some much needed sleep! And I cooked some awesome homemade tacos! :D hehe, I'm proud of myself.

Sorry to hear they lost, they'll get 'em next time! Did you have a good weekend other than that? And btw, I look for you on IM but you're NEVER on! lol

[Brewman_Jax]

45. Tacos

Sounds like fun! :9 and they aren't hard to make.

The weekend was fun, got laundry washed, went to one of my asian supermarkets and got some taro and dim sum foods. :9

Ran Sunday morning, upped the distance to 7 miles, took about 75 mins to travel. Helped mom get her new cell phone, then went to watch the Copa America final match at my new Mexican restaurant, which just started Sunday hours.

I'm on for a few split seconds late during the week, I may stay on longer Friday or Saturday nights. :hi:

[BlondieK143]

46. It was fun!

The only thing we were missing was Margaritas. My alcohol supply only consists of a few Bud Lights and Vodka. Sad I tell ya! Glad to hear you had such a good weekend! Taro and dim sum, huh? Sounds interesting! 75 minutes?? 7 miles?? DAMN! Do you ever think about doing triathalons and stuff? I mean, you certainly have the drive! You're amazing!

lol gotcha. Guess that's why I never see you! I'm on at the most random times.

[Brewman_Jax]

48. Too much time

triathlons are way too hard to train for, that is, if you have to work for a living. I do all of this to play soccer. The knee should be good for the fall season. I have my rec league team and I've been invited to play on a co-ed team.

I have to check my list to make sure I have you on it. :think:

[BlondieK143]

50. Well, that makes sense.

Congrats on the invite! :) That's great! Wish I had enough coordination to play soccer. Such an interesting sport. Major props to you. :yourock:

Yeah, you should do that. :)

[Brewman_Jax]

51. Have you been back to your trainer?

hope that life has been quiet enough so you can get back to training. And you know what that means---











no doughnut for you! :P

[BlondieK143]

52. hahaha

I was waiting on it and there it is!

I can't go back to the trainer yet - no means of transportation. I am getting a treadmill in two weeks though so that should be nice! It's not a newer one, but hey, it works!

[Brewman_Jax]

53. Oh, no!

that means you didn't get the car this weekend! :o I hope those crazy roommates didn't have anything to do with that.

[BlondieK143]

54. Well, sort of.

But it was more like my "dad" letting me down. My totalled car is still on my credit (long story - basically, the GAP insurance people fucked up and didn't finish out the claim. It'll be 14 days before they can process it, send it to Nissan, then get it off of my credit). So I was told I'd HAVE to have a co-signer. After hours of begging and pleading, "dad" aka, Mr. Sperm Donor agreed to co-sign then he backed out on me AFTER I was there signing paperwork. That's the story of my life with my "parents". :eyes:

[Brewman_Jax]

55. Sorry to hear

does that mean that you're out of luck until the claim is processed?

[BlondieK143]

56. It's okay.

shit happens I suppose.

And yep, that's exactly what it means. :( Not sure what I'm going to do. Paying $20 each time I have to get to work (by using a cab) is draining my bank.

[Brewman_Jax]

57. Two weeks to go

and you're getting a car.

Time for you to leave, enjoy your day and stay dry! :hug:

[BlondieK143]

58. Wow, you're good!

It was great talking to you this morning! Have a great day, talk to you soon. :hug:
