  WOW!! This thread is great!!  It is SO nice to read about everyday...normal life stuff!!! I sometimes stay away from this site just cause mentally I've had enough..... I've always thought there should be a webpage focusing on CareGivers.....Call it "D" Free Zone!! A place we can go just for this...to get away from it all in our minds...it is refreshing!! I too got a new puppy named Cooper....I got him as a stress reliever...something else to focus on........he is a mini-Aussie and sure does keep me busy!!  But I love him so much!!  I used to raise Rotties, and I had forgotten just how much work a puppy is!! But it is so worth it..and yes,,, while he sleeps I too look at him and think how wonderful.....I'll be checking in here alot.....just love it!!!

I made some whole wheat biscuits (scones to you Brits) for Carl to snack on today. Oh, the house smelled wonderful. I'm off for the next two weeks!

Looney, the visit from your grandchildren sounds luscious. We'll be heading up north to visit ours in a couple days!

What a great day! Lunch with my favorite ex-sister-in-law (Why is it that I can get along so well with the sister-in-law my brother divorced and can't get along very well with he sister-in-law my other brother remains married to?  ) We went to this great local burger joint (Pres. Obama ate there when he was in town!).

Then I went to parent/teacher conferences to hear glowing things about my great kid.  He started in a new school this year and it's nice to see that the teachers are getting to know him.  At the fall conferences all  I heard was, " He's such a quiet boy."  But now they seem to have gotten to know my quirky, kind, funny, smart kid.  It was nice.  (I'm trying to give you a picture of my son - we'll see if I did it right!)

Then my husband and I made a great dinner.  Chicken and broccoli and asparagus.  If you have not discovered McCormick seasonings, I highly recommend them!!!!!  (sodium, I know - but on PD my blood pressure is actually low...)

Hope YOU are having a good day, too!

My son is the blond looking at the camera.  That was from the kidney walk two years ago.  Love that kid!

[Poppylicious]

hey poppy just wanted to know what is Weetabix?

It's a whole grain biscuit (breakfast cereal.)  Apparently you have them in the US too!  Yay!  But I finished my box today so will have to have porridge tomorrow. 

I enjoyed a gossip over lunch with a friend today.  A man in the pub kept looking at me.  I decided I must have had something on my face.

 

At the fall conferences all  I heard was, " He's such a quiet boy." 

My school reports always labelled me as being quiet.  Mumsy used to get ever-so irked ... 'If they lived with you they wouldn't be saying that!' she would snarl upon returning from parents evening.

Have to go out to the supermarket shortly ... I'm nearly out of gin and chocolate!!!
But I do need bottled water, cat food and j-cloths as well but not nearly as important!!!
Wish you could buy men on supermarket shelves, they might have a buy one get one free offer on today!!!

Breakfast today was real coffee, boiled egg, french bread and orange juice ... treating myself today.
Yesterday I grabbed a kitkat!

    

[willowtreewren]

OMG! OMG! I am so very happy! I have cured my carpal tunnel syndrome!

It took two days of exercising to stretch the tendons in my wrist! That's it! I slept through  the night last night for the first time in months and months!!!!

Today is going to be a great day! 

And tomorrow we set off to see the family in Massachusetts! Woot!

Ummmm just for the record folks...  I have not had sex since... well.. neveryoumind!!!! 

I have, however, been out of the country - well sort of (it doesn't really count as International) - to Auckland, New Zealand.

I flew on Emirates' A380 in First Class. It was awesome :-)

but i'm baaaaaaack now

[Sugarlump]

Since when?

I saw your pictures and they were awsome!

Here in the UK we had a lovely warm sunny day on Sunday the first one this year it must be spring coming.  Took Poppy down to the coast where I used to live she loved it and so did I.  But went and looked at my old bungalow and then wished I hadn't as the new people have taken down some lovely rose bushes I had growing and also the lawn had all cars parked over it. It looked like a tip.
I often wish now I had never moved away from the seaside there was always so much to do down there.

[Poppylicious]

I often wish now I had never moved away from the seaside there was always so much to do down there.

I would love to live by the seaside.  Walks along the beach, wet days on the two penny games at the amusements and that gorgeous seaside-y smell.  Oh, and hot 'donuts' ... Divine.

I did a whole hour on my Wii Fit Plus this morning, despite nearly giving up halfway through the cycling activity.  I am very proud of myself.  It's Wednesday so breakfast didn't happen. 

Wish you could buy men on supermarket shelves, they might have a buy one get one free offer on today!!!

Yes, but what if you only had the money for supermarket own brand? Or worse, Tesco Value?  Looks tasty, but doesn't know how his spanner from his frying-pan, and thinks that groan of boredom was you being very much satisfied by his jerky fumble.  Would you still want one then? 

 

[Sugarlump]

Oh Pops you did so make me laugh then, laptop nearly fell off my lap!!!
Blue and white stripe Man by Tesco's!!!!
YES I WOULD!!! I mean buy one get one free, one for the bedroom (surely I could train him?) and one for all those jobs around
the house that need doing like cutting the grass, putting air in my tyres, driving me around ... and back up for number one when he gets too
tired to keep up with my prednisolone-led demands!!!!
Perhaps they would have a Tesco's finest range as well, you know, man-in-a-suit ! I'm a sucker for one of those, throw in some designer shades and we'll forget about spending money on food ...oh YES PLEASE!!!!
You've got me excited now!!!! put me off my picking horses for Cheltenham!

    

[Poppylicious]

Ha ha, I love the idea of a Tesco Finest Man-in-a-Suit.  I can see Finest and Value sitting together on the shelf.  Finest would be James Bond-esque in a wonderfully designed and completely appealing package (with bow,) and Value would be in a string vest (think Onslow from Keeping Up Appearances) just wrapped in plastic on a polystyrene tray. 

If Waitrose or M&S wanted to provide healthy competition they could package up David Cameron or Nick Clegg.  Asda will offer the Milliband Brother's.  And if you're desperate - and lacking in time - the local corner shop will have Phil Mitchell on the shelves. Heinz will do Man-in-aTinCan (with your choice of Mexican or barbeque'd beans.)

You'll be able to order the Brad Pitt and Charlie Sheen types online from somewhere like American Soda.

Now you're getting carried away!!!
Hey I'm not that fussy 
puts whole new slant on Saturday Night Takeaways!!! Do you think Customer Services would do refunds on a Sunday morning for poor performances!!! Whoa that would be some conversation !!!

MY horse BOSTON ANGEL just romped home at 16-1 YIPPEE!!!

Now you're getting carried away!!!

I have the whole year off work!!!  I go back in September to my Grade 2 class.  I did a deferred salary thing where I paid into a trust fund for 3 years and get the 4th year off.  During that year I get paid from my trust fund.    I've been having a wonderful year.  Only 2 years left to teach before I retire!! 
It has been sunny and beautiful here the last 2 days. We have ben cutting firewood and bringing it home.  I'm really tired this afternoon.  I have to get a shower and style my hair and head to my weight loss group in a little bit. Hope I lost at least a little bit this week!! If I didn't I'll work harder next week!!

WANT TO GO SHOPPING      

[Poppylicious]

... and head to my weight loss group in a little bit. Hope I lost at least a little bit this week!! If I didn't I'll work harder next week!!

I managed to lose 2Ibs this week.  This was after a Chinese on Saturday and a KFC on Sunday.  I suspect that I'll need to be good this coming week so that it doesn't catch up with me!  Hope you lost!

WANT TO GO SHOPPING      

Sure ... but only if you're paying. 

 

[Sugarlump]

I ought to be on top of the world tonight, having picked out 3 winners @ Cheltenham races but having sat and stared at my computer screen for the last three hours, waiting for "some guy" to talk to me yet my message box remains persistently empty... I feel like a teenager again. You think I would have learned my lesson before now. Don't fall ... but that heady rush of a new man on the scene is so addictive ...wish i didn't feel quite so crap now.

Bad day is ending pretty good - we had breakfast for supper!  Yum!

[boswife]

aww, 'wish i knew' we had breakfast for dinner too :-)  also yum 

And Yvonne, your Poppy is absolutly wonderfully beautiful.  What joy they bring and im so happy you have her.  Our dogs bring so much to our lives, i couldnt live without one.  One of our favorite things to do is walk the waters with our dogs.  Brings me such peace.  Would have loved to be doing that today, but painting wood so that tomorrow we can fix our picket fence with it was our fun for the day 

[WishIKnew]

Happy St. Paddy's Day!  Are you wearing green?   If not, consider yourself pinched!   

 I had a very restfull night last night!  Yeah!

Cleaning today, not my favorite thing to do, but it looks so nice when it's done!

[Sugarlump]

It's my dog Murphy's 9th birthday today!

[jbeany]

Sticking with my New Year's resolution to make more people smile for random reasons   - I passed out 20 small green envelopes to both friends and random strangers today, while telling them I hope they had a little bit of the luck of Irish going for them. Each package was a $1 scratch-off lotto ticket.  Highly entertaining way to spend $20!
