Will someone talk to me? Pleease?

[Sugarlump]

I had to look up where you live to see why so cold. Newfoundland that explains it ... Do you have snow still? Brrrr I thought England was cold enough lately...

I think SL should shout us all drinks with her winnings!   

I'm not sure £15 would buy *that* many drinks at pub prices in the UK! 

Oooh, it's glorious here.  I got home from work and surprised myself with two and a half hours of solid gardening.  I HATE gardening!  Then I amused myself with some bubbles in the bath and am now sitting here in my pyjamas.  Yes, it's only just gone 6.00pm.

Without wishing to brag that was only one of many that managed to romp home at the weekend (apart from Lewis Hamilton) so
reckon I could manage a bottle of champagne or two Pops !!!
What kind of pyjamas then??? I just bought some snoopy ones with "I'm so cool" emblazoned on the front!!!! for summer travels -
Sugarlump on Tour 2011!!!

My toughest professor told me I'm a good writer.  Always nice to be patted on the back!   

I got an assignment back in another class.  Compared notes with the friend I sit next to as we looked over the comments.  I got a 96, he got a 95.  I pointed out the scrawled "One of the best two in the class" written across the top of mine, telling him that he likely had the other.  Classmates around us razzed us about being over-achievers.  Then the prof explained his grading system.  "I graded on a curve, based on the two best papers in class."   Oooops.  If looks could kill!   
Should have kept our mouths shut!

My son scored a goal in his soccer match yesterday. He played with the same team that asked him to join them a month ago - they were short a player again, and this time no subs at all. He came home with an ice pack. I wanted to go watch him, but Gwyn and I are in the midst of an ugly row at the moment, and I knew that if he had to choose, Aidan would want his dad there coaching him. Last time he played, he came back home and burst into tears because he said that he felt like he was being ignored.  Then Gwyn interrupted with Hang on - Were you playing positions? This team is two years up from Aidan, which means he's playing with kids a foot or more taller than he. He's approaching 9, there could be kids almost 12 playing with him. Anyhow, he scored, took an injury, and has got the hang of the 'positions' system. An accomplished morning.

He also got his baseball assignment. He'll be playing for the 'padres'. Now, Aidan is mostly fluent in Spanish, so I'll bet he's wondering why his team is "the parents".

I am going to get back into local politics this week. Too many meetings, too many emails - I burnt out on it, but have to jump back in now.

Aidan told me he is ready for spring. No kidding, sweetie! I am having a depressive episode over this ridiculously cold weather.

My pyjamas are just boring pink ones, Sugarlump.  No coolness associated with them whatsoever.

So, I know this thread is supposed to be the Happy Happy Joyful thread, but I'm feeling sad and I want *huggles*.

Kthnx.

 

[willowtreewren]

 

Here are some huggles for you Poppy!

 

Nothing wrong with plain pink PJs!!! It's the comfort that scores with PJs! 

But if you don't like them...you can do this...

 

 

More huggles for you.....

[Sugarlump]

Why so down Poppy?

    

I have to go to Cambridge Wednesday morning A14 @ 9am oh joy of joys!!! 

[Poppylicious]

But if you don't like them...you can do this...

 

*gasp* ... not with my big bottom I can't (at least, not in public!)

Why so down Poppy?

    

I have to go to Cambridge Wednesday morning A14 @ 9am oh joy of joys!!! 

Oh, this and that, Sugar.  Isn't 9am a tad early for you?!

I'm watching Glee now ... it's keeping me amused.

 

Thanks for the huggles!

[Sugarlump]

It is indeed when I very rarely go to sleep before 3am !! But all in aid of keeping my doc happy! 
i want to sweet talk him into letting me travel further afield than Western Europe this summer.

[Poppylicious]

Awww, I hope he gives you the thumbs up for travel.  Just get an early night tomorrow!

 

[Sugarlump]

I'll try
When I have early appointment at hospital i like to drive through Newmarket on the way, just to stare in awe at all the racehorses out for exercize on the heath. An inspiring sight to bolster me up to face clinic!
        

[Poppylicious]

I've never actually been to Newmarket.  Driven past it thousands of times, but never into it.  An ex student of mine got a job there the other year, working with the horses.  I think he got on a college course too, which is unusual for our kids.  Horses have never really done anything for me (if anything I find them a tad scary ...)

 

[Sugarlump]

Scary?
I can think of lots of things scarier ...
Ghosts ... lifts ...operations ... snakes ... drunken men
but horses are really quite gentle, telepathic creatures   

[Poppylicious]

I think it's because they're so big ... Plus, I've never met one close up.

Poppy, I am sending you lots of good thoughts and cyber hugs.   

[Mizar]

So, this Morning, I got a call, from My Church, asking if I had some time to Volunteer, for a Project, they were working on. I said, " Sure, Rainy Day, I will come now" I get to the Church and they said, " All you need to do, is Remove, the Labels, from some Bottles of Water " That sounded Easy, enough. Then I asked, " How many Bottles?"   " It was 72 Cases!  ---------  Remember this, If they ask for all Volunteers, to Step Forward - be sure to take, One Step Back!

Remember this, If they ask for all Volunteers, to Step Forward - be sure to take, One Step Back!   

Excellent advice! 

[galvo]

its getting on for lunchtime over there??   
Do you have tattoo's and a bush hat ?? Can you wrestle crocodiles??
Will I be safe with you??

 In answer  to your questions, Sugar, (note the familiarity) tattoos - yes. bush hat - yes. wrestle crocs - yes. Safe with me - no (but you really don't want to be, do you?)

[Sugarlump]

No !!!!! 

[Sugarlump]

[Sugarlump]

I like REAL men xxx 

[Poppylicious]

Poppy, I am sending you lots of good thoughts and cyber hugs.   

Thank you, my lovely!  Much appreciated (and needed!)

Today I hoovered my settees (and under them ... yikes!) in preparation for getting new ones tomorrow.  Huzzah! 

I like REAL men xxx 

But what is a REAL man?  Does he have to be able to wrestle crocodiles? If yes, then I've never met a real man.

*sigh*

[Sugarlump]

Not much call for wrestling crocodiles in Cambridge !!!
What is a real man ? I guess someone who makes you feel special AND would wrestle a crocodile on your behalf it necessary! Tough and gentle. Does that man exist? I bloody hope so or why are we all looking for him!!!

When I go to Cambridge tomorrow I'll keep my eyes peeled for crocodiles just in case!!! and hunky Australian men with tattoos and bush hats! You never know your luck!

Still snow here and I am sick of it!!  We won't have the leaves on the trees or daffodils blooming for about another 2 months!!!  Hopefully when April starts we will get some warmer weather and the snow will start to melt.
