Good morning Lounge

[MissHoneychurch]

How are you today? I am all giddy. Yesterday I got first a text message and later in the evening a phone call. From my mover last Thursday :D We flirted that day (he started) and in the end decided to stay in touch and that I would contact him once I am a bit settled in the new condo. So since Friday I was biting my fingers not to write or call him. Didn't want to appear too desperate or annoying. It was a good thing I waited. Yesterday afternoon I got a text message from him :woohoo: We texted a bit over the next couple of hours and I gave him my home phone number and told him he could call me later on. He did :)
We had a great talk and he is going to call me again later this week.
The cute thing last night was that at one point he admitted that he wasn't sure himself when to contact me and how ... didn't want to be too bold ... :D

Picture of the Day (a LOL cat)

[Inchworm]

1. Good mornin'

Yay! You got.. well, may have, it goin' on! Don't trust those new folks in the new place so quick. Make sure you run them through all the tests :rofl:

I'm so glad you are back. Now I remember to peek at the clock and remember mornings are great, but in order to enjoy them I need to rest. hehe

Sounds like you are gonna be great where you are.

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Good morning Inchworm

Oh believe me, he will be thorougly tested :rofl: But he is cute and he shows an interest in me. Isn't that a great start into the year? A new condo, a man who is interested .... :D

You sleep tight :hug:

[Inchworm]

4. I'm sure you'll run him through the gammit

before you let him in. Dude! Dint ya know?!? Men (that are new) are dawgs!

'Til you test them out :D

:rofl:

:hug:

PS: I'm not sleepy OR drunk yet.. I may be here a while :P

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Well, he was in my new condo already

had to move my stuff in there :rofl:

But the first date will definitely in a cafè. And before that there will be some more phone conversations. So far he seems like a decent person. I will see if that stays that way.

[Inchworm]

9. Like I said..

or thought lolz

You are on top of it. I shall not worry :D

It's pretty cool though

*giggle*

[MissHoneychurch]

11. And I have my friends

who help me keep my perspective and stay on the floor. And not get too excited too fast. That happens a lot to me.

[Heidi]

3. I'm so glad you're back!

Your condo is lovely -- gorgeous floors! And :woohoo: to you for making a new friend! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Hey Heidi

it is good to be back. I am glad that the move is over with. The floors gives a lot to the condo. Especially after renewing it. I love it :)

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

12. Btw, how is the weather at your place?

Finally the big cold is over with. It is snowing right now (better than the freezing rain that was also possible).

[Heidi]

17. Sorry! Had to run up to my mother-in-law's! Ginger is being babysat

while I get some stuff done this morning. :rofl:

It's still plenty cold here, but no snow or rain in the forecast. I'll be sooooooooo glad when spring gets here. :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

19. Ginger can't be home alone?

:rofl:

Soon spring will be here. But in a way I am happy we had a cold winter again. I missed the snow.

[Heidi]

20. He can be home alone, but he can't be under my feet when I'm trying

to clean the house -- especially mopping the floors. He follows me around like a lost puppy, tracking up the floor and leaving a trail of cat hair behind him as fast as I can vacuum/ mop it up. :rofl:

I would be more than happy to send you any/all snow that we get for the remainder of winter. I am not a big fan of snow/cold weather. I could happily live in Florida -- for the most part. ;)

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

21. He is not vanishing when you vaccum??

:wow:

[Heidi]

22. Nah. .He's not afraid of the vacuum cleaner.

We have a cannister vacuum cleaner, and he used to ride around on it when he was little. Noise doesn't faze him at all. :shrug:

Check out this video. Cat looks EXACTLY like Ginger's brother, Barley, but MUCH smarter. :rofl:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewdbilSWjaM

[MissHoneychurch]

23. ROFL

:rofl:

That is too hilarious :spray:

Thanks for posting that. AirmensMom has such vaccum robots but her kitties stay away from it. I need to send her that video.

[Heidi]

25. It freaked out Barley's mom when I showed it to her.

I think I'll give that video its own thread. It's too good not to share, don't you think? :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

26. Absolutely

it deserves its own thread.

I can imagine that she freaked out. It really looks like Barley. Who knew that he has a good twin somewhere :rofl:

[Eurobabe]

66. NOOOO we have lots of skiing to do

No Spring yet, pretty please? :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

71. Yeah

like you who goes into the mountains for skiing and then complains it is too cold :rofl:

[Eurobabe]

93. well it WAS too COLD

now it is better. LOL.

[Inchworm]

13. Poke!

How's that collage goin?

You know.. the one in your mind.. the one that rawks...

Yea that one.

:hug:

[Heidi]

Ha!

I have so many collages in my mind that I don't know which one yer talkin' about. :rofl:

Good to see you, bubba! :hug:

:*

[Richard Steele]

5. Good NIGHT, Miss HoneyChurch.

I am just about to shut down all the electrical devices
here in my tiny corner of this basement...
I'ts 3:43 AM here, and I need to wake up at 10:45
to get shaved, dressed, and COFFEED to be at my job at 1:00.

It's a bit colder than normal here at the moment, so I'm
sharing my bed with a cute young lady.

She's a stray cat who has decided that I belong to her,
and she's not actually "allowed" to be inside the house where I'm living....
So, if anyone asks, she snuck inside without my knowledge, OK?


After she spends the night snuggling next to me, I'll pretend to
be surprised at her presence, and shoo her out the dooor...
until tomorrow night, and the night after.
They're calling for some serious COLD WEATHER in these parts!

[Heidi]

7. Sweet dreams, dicksteele.

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Good night dicksteele

sweet dreams. And kitties make good bed warmers :)

Does she have a name yet? She has chosen you ... welcome her into your life :D

[Richard Steele]

94. Yes, she was "named" about 30 seconds after we first met.

She's very vocal, but she only knows one word.
"Mew mew mew mew mew mew mew mew...."

Her name is "CryBaby". She's a total sweetiepie, and when
I get my own place she'll be the 1st QUEEN of the "inside cats" there.

[coyotespaw]

14. Forgoing my usual cynicism, I'll just say congratulations...

oh, and my cat's cuter.

[MissHoneychurch]

15. Prove it

I mean your cat :)

I haven't had a date in half a year. Even if it doesn't work out, alone the exciting feeling is worth it.

[coyotespaw]

16. Granted, I'm an opinionated rat bastard...

but check out this for the kitty pic
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8375704

and I hope everything else works out well for you too

[MissHoneychurch]

18. It really is a cute kitty

the sure know how to win our hearts :)

[Random_Australian]

24. Good morning! I am well, but rather tired.

Hmmmmmm, mutual attraction. That's the first step you want, alright. :) Glad to hear it!

[MissHoneychurch]

27. OMG!!!

I can't believe it!! R_A !!! How are you doing it???? I was thinking of you!! I missed you!!!

I am excited about the possibility of a date. And that guy ... he is handsome and funny. I look forward to more talking with him.

[Random_Australian]

28. Heh, I would not be Random if I was consistently here, would I?

I'm doing quite well. Finally brought my academic level up to 'lots of scholarships' level, which is good, one less thing to worry about.

Other than that, really great. Swimming, iceskating, murder mystery-ing, that kinda thing.

[MissHoneychurch]

29. But I would love to see you more often again

Congrats on your studies. Glad to hear that is progressing.

Anything new on the love front?

[Random_Australian]

30. Hah, not yet. Ah well, it's only been x many years.

Gotta give these things time. ie. gotta deal with other stuff first.

[MissHoneychurch]

31. I know what you mean

this is the first date in half a year. Last year was almost zero when it came to love. But towards the end of the year I decided to buy a condo (just moved in) so my mind was set on that and nothing else.

You will find the woman for you sooner or later. You are still young. :hug:

[Random_Australian]

32. Oooh, condo. That's like a flat, right?

Anyway, the rest of my life is going pretty well, so this semester I will definately be on the lookout. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

33. Yes, it is

ahhh ... all those different Englishs. I just found out here that there is a difference between apartment (you rent it) and condo (you own it).

Love shows up when you least expect it. But going out and having fun definitely helps it.

[Random_Australian]

36. Meeting as many people as you can of the appropriate demographic helps.

:)

Also, there are some personality traits that are good. Also, being fit and being able to talk about some interesting something about yourself is good. All that jazz. Not like it is necessary, though, to the right person.

[MissHoneychurch]

39. Now all you have to do

is use those traits and charm the girls :D

[Random_Australian]

42. Hah, sure. That will be as easy to do as to say, I'm sure.

:yoiks:

Arrrr, oh well. Life is life, no easy passes.

[MissHoneychurch]

43. Life is Life

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ptkomy5xTao

Sorry .... couldn't resist :hide:

[Random_Australian]

44. I had never heard of opus in my entire life.

As you can tell from the quality of my comments, I am damn tired and now I shall go to bed.

Have a nice day!

:)

[MissHoneychurch]

46. It is a German group from the 80s

you don't have to feel bad about it :rofl:

Good night R_A, sweet dreams. I hope to see you every now and then :hug:

[malta blue]

34. Morning MissH!!!

:hi::loveya:

I guess the moon was aligned for both of us last night, as I got to talk with my crush also...

Today promises to be interesting! I am going to the police station to look at items recovered from a burglary ring that got busted. The are implicated in over 100 burglaries in the last 3 months or so!

I hope my stuff is there!!!

Have a terrific day. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

35. Good morning malta

best of luck with the items!! I hope your stuff is among it!! :hug:

Ohhh .... tell me all about your crush :evilgrin: I am nosy. I am happy for you!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[malta blue]

37. He is a very old friend - we met in 1995

I had not seen him in about 7 years until thanksgiving.

He lives in Virginia :( but when he was home for Xmas we hung out everyday and have texted, facebooked, or talked on the phone everyday since he left. Last night we talked for over an hour!

[MissHoneychurch]

38. Oh .... that sounds wonderful

except the distance :hug:

I wish you the best of luck!!

[malta blue]

40. He usually only comes home for the holidays

But he says he will be back sooner the time :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

41. YAY

is Valentine's Day a holiday?? :D

[malta blue]

45. It should be!

:rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

47. Time for my lunch break

if you are gone when I come back ... I wish you a wonderful day. And all the best with your jewelery :hug:

:loveya:

[Guava Jelly]

48. Good morning MissH!

Yay! That is great! :woohoo: 2009 might be an awesome year for you..New pad,hot Mover guy. :D :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

49. Good morning GoP

:hi:

It is at leat a promising start. And he is a super doper hot guy :D

[Callalily]

50. Morning MissH!

Seems like your mover is moving quickly. :rofl:

He obviously has less patience than you. Glad he made the (ahem) first move.

I think 2009 is going to be a good year for you.

:hug: :hi: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

51. Good morning Simply

I am glad he had less patience and made the first move :rofl: Shows me he really is interested. Or so it seems :D

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Callalily]

52. Clearly shows he's interested.

Just goes to show, one never knows where you're going to meet a new friend.

Read above comments in your thread. Glad to hear that you've got a warming spell. Here we're in for a deep freeze. Right now it's -4F with windchill of -17F. Windchill warnings today. I'm definitely breaking out the long underwear for work. ;)

Gotta go grab some breakfast and shower.

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

53. I was just outside

damn, it was slippery .... my friend and I were glad we mad it back to work without falling. Not fun x(

no, one never knows and it always happens when you least expected. I sure didn't expect such a hot mover :D

[AirmensMom]

54. Good morning, MissHC!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Just popping in ... glad he finally called! You can stop biting your fingers now. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

55. Good morning AirmensMom

I know :D I was really happy about it. My fingernails are short enough as it is already after the move and everything :rofl:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[AirmensMom]

56. That's right --

moving is really rough on the manicure. :rofl:

So is all the stuff I've been doing. I think if I bit my fingers, you'd never be able to tell at this point. :scared:

[MissHoneychurch]

57. I have to use a magnifying glass

to search for my finger nails :eyes:

[AirmensMom]

58. LOL!

:rofl:

Well, I can't do a project without bashing up at least one finger. I have three bloody knuckles two cuts, and a blister. Ouch!

[MissHoneychurch]

59. And I have a wound

when R. slipped with the driller and hit my hand. Not bad though. And a lot of big blue spots at place where I wonder how I got them there :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

63. That sounds familiar.

Been there, done that! :rofl:


I'd better be going soon. I have a few things to do before the guys show up. Have a nice rest of your day! I hope you hear from your moving man again! :bounce:


:loveya: :hug: :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

64. Alright

you have a great day!!

I am sure my moving man will call me as he promised.

:loveya: :hug: :hi:

[blueraven95]

60. Good Afternoon!

Congratulations! It sounds like this move was profitable in more ways than one :evilgrin:


I'm probably still not going to be around much today, but I should be here a little more than yesterday. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

61. Good morning blueraven

it sure was :evilgrin:

Btw, did your friend and his daughter show up?

[blueraven95]

62. unfortunately no.

the flu got both of them and the trip got postponed (but no date has been set yet). :(


There's this other guy who is bugging the heck out of me. It would be so much easier if I was interested at all. But I'm not. :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

65. Aww, I am sorry

:hug:

I hope he shows up soon.

[blueraven95]

69. we'll see.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up, so I don't get too let down. :hug:


So, are you still thrilled with your condo? No buyer's remorse, right?

[MissHoneychurch]

70. I know what you mean

I know I am getting too excited already again with this guy. Oh well, I try to stay calm and see how it goes. But I am also very excited about it.

No buyer's remorse whatsoever. Just very excited about the place.

[blueraven95]

72. hey, I hear you

I always get too excited first and then I'm disappointed - it's almost like no one could live up to my expectations anyway. I've been working on that.


You are going to have to give us more pictures of the place as it gets more put together. I can't wait to see more!

[MissHoneychurch]

73. Yup

you sound like me :rofl: - getting disappointed on a regular basis.

I will take more pics, once I don't live between boxes anymore. And I want to take some more pics of my view.

[blueraven95]

74. I'm really looking forward to properly seeing that view

it looks like it should be spectacular.

[MissHoneychurch]

75. It is

the days when it was so cold I had an amazing sun set. Of course no camera nearby :eyes:

[blueraven95]

76. Get that camera out!!!

I can't wait to see it.



So I'm gettting the train tickets today in the mail to go to DC for the inauguration. I'm getting really excited!

[MissHoneychurch]

77. Yes ma'am

:D

You are going to DC??? How cool is that!!! Now I am jealous :D

[blueraven95]

78. I figured that since I only live 45 minutes away...

there was no excuse. I'm taking Tues and Wed off of work, and Mon is off already so I actually have a 5 day break, which is cool.


It's looking like the meetup will be the night before, though, so I don't know if I will get to go to that. :(

[MissHoneychurch]

79. Try to get to the meet-up if possible

they are so much fun.

Ohhh ... a long long weekend :D Where will you stay? And you have to tell me all about it

[blueraven95]

80. I'm not sure what we are doing yet

I know that I'm planning on going down just for the day, because there was no way I was going to pay those outrageous prices for a hotel room. Not a chance.


But I am looking forward to the break. Work has been exhausting so it will be nice just to sleep in this weekend. :D


I will definitely do a full report upon getting home on Tuesday (although it may not get done until Wed, because I expect to be exhausted).

[MissHoneychurch]

81. Ok, that makes sense

the report Wednesday will be just fine ... as long as you report :D Maybe you get a climpse of Obama :D

[blueraven95]

82. I'm hoping.

But it'll be okay if I don't.

[MissHoneychurch]

83. Remember

48percenter and I were this close :D






that is 48percenter in the circle, I am right next to her, if you look closely you can see my zoom :rofl: )

[blueraven95]

84. omg, I didn't realize you were so close

jealous!


That's awesome.


Basically I'm expecting to just let other people decide what we are doing. I'm just along for the ride. But it would be cool if we got that close.

[MissHoneychurch]

85. Yes we were

:D

Now you have a reason to get at least that close. Of course you will have more than 250.000 people in D.C.

[blueraven95]

86. yeah, it's going to be crowded

I'm actually a little freaked out be that. I really don't enjoy huge crowds.



So my most wonderful boss just told me to take Tuesday off as a comp day - without using any of my vacation time because we've been working such long hours for the last two weeks. So not only will I get overtime, I'll also get a free day! :woohoo:

[MissHoneychurch]

87. OMG

that is really nice of your boss. Sounds like he is a Dem too :D

[blueraven95]

88. I don't know what her political affiliation is, actually

but I love getting a day off. :D

Now I'm really, really excited. :woohoo:


I'll definitely compose a fantastic story about the day now. I hope it is eventful, in a good way.

[MissHoneychurch]

89. It will be eventfull

I am sure of that. Alone the excitement in the city with all the people there!! And joyous not protesting like the last 2 times.

[MissHoneychurch]

90. I'm leaving now

have a wonderful rest of the day!!

:loveya:

[Eurobabe]

67. So you got a two-fer

a new condo and a new potential friend? Way to go! :applause:

2009 is off to a fabulous start!

[MissHoneychurch]

68. I know

I hope the year continues as good :D

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[BarenakedLady]

91. Good morning

How exciting!

:bounce:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

92. I bet I am too late. Missed you again. Good to see these threads.

:hug:
