Zimbo - don't know where you find these things....love it though!
Ha! Brilliant.

Some programmer kids are having a laugh over at Google. I put in the directions from Australia to the US and it didn't give me any, so I reckon this is their idea of a giggle. Ah kids these days.... (get off my lawn!).

Morning Dew!

DS seems to be at 100% - yay!

DD is making progress. Very sore and a bit nauseous but she will need to be up and moving about today. Could be long day here

Saw highlights of your Cards game on ESPN this morning....sorry...but that's what preseason games are for right? Did Fitz get signed yet? I read somewhere that he thought they were close....

I guess we'll see how the Broncos do tonight. They're not saying which QB will come out after Orton....my money is on Quinn. We'll see.

Very glad to hear DS is well, MM. Here's hoping DD does better today. Nausea after surgery is no fun at all. Neither is pain, come to think of it.

No, Fitz isn't signed yet. He says they're "close". He made an especially spectacular catch last night. I'm assuming they'll show it on various "great play" clips this week. The ultimate diving/shoestring catch.

Thanks - we're about to see. Waiting for DH to download onto computer. It was a bit torturous at first because he did not want to be doing pictures. But he finally snapped out of it.

I think so too!

Sad part is, the timeshare has gone unused for the last couple of years. But once DS is off to college we'll get back into going. I love going.

Glad everyone is okay from all the natural disasters!

MM - I loved the leather pants byline. Too funny! Glad DD is a bit better today.

Fin - Get off my lawn!

Coop - I read somewhere, can't remember where, that trips to timeshares in Mexico were originally included in the healthcare bill. Gotta go!

Lot's of Turkey-rolls around and about at the moment. Getting very tedious.

I need advice for this because I HAVE to get a job.

I have bills to pay.
Know what, I'll just go ask someone else what the **** to wear to some ****ty establishment where you don't necessarily need to dress up for anything.

I KNOW what to wear when applying to retail, I know what to wear to really important jobs.
I DON'T KNOW THE ****ING BOUNDARIES AT WALMART!
Girl, you need to get your act together, because honestly, if you come off like this in interviews nobody's going to want to hire you. Even so-far-beneath-the-Princess Walmart.

Dear Zimbo - I am so glad our girls are in the same class again this year, and we'll be room moms together. YAY! Little DevilSpawnette begged me to be room mom, that's really the only reason I signed up. I hate talking to groups of people, am not artsy, so can't really help with the craft projects, and don't think I'll be good at managing the money or volunteer schedules. Sorry you couldn't get hold of me before the parent meeting, but you did an awesome job getting everything organized in time. Do we all need to take a turn reading to the class? I don't really like doing it, maybe I'll see if someone else will do it for me. Hey, let me know if I can help with anything.

Um...what, exactly, does this Precious Darling do?

Well, first I'm SO glad that LDSpawnette knows how to whine and beg. It's such a necessary life skill. You must be proud.

I totally know what you mean about not being able to do anything most people can do while they are actually living a life. I mean, WOW!, it's just so hard to be as special and helpless as a kitten. A cute little kitten. So you really think I do an awesome job getting organized in time? Pishaw. It's just little old me doing nothing special. I mean it's not like I'm solving the federal budget problems or anything. You're just buttering me up you silly girl!

No. You can't help me with anything. Because, silly me, I'm just smart enough to not get roped into anything to save your size 0 butt which you only have because you are in the gym and not doing things like, I don't know, organizing things.

Let me know if I can do anything for you. Really. Like pick up the tab at lunch.

Huggies!

Zimbo
THAT is fabulous.
