Nope - straight to the big ones!
Small boats are so much rockier!!!!

CarolynF · 01-04-2011, 05:09 AM

Hi gals,

Yup the small boats are rockier..Let's hope Buffy's boat trip is nice and smooth out there
in the ocean.

Brett is going up to look at apartments today..since he starts on the 17th of this month, he needs to get a move on..Can you say "sense of urgency"? LOL. We got him a Motel
6 room so he will have several days to make a decision..

Off to exercise this morning..

Gotta set up my Wii Active 2 later on in the day.

TuscanGirl · 01-04-2011, 05:21 AM

Morning!!

Off to the gym! BBL!

sjl330 · 01-04-2011, 06:44 AM

Morning. I'm pooped out this a.m. from all my decluttering, etc. yesterday I guess. But have a few things I have to do today so I best get my rear in gear!

TuscanGirl · 01-04-2011, 10:43 AM

Sandy -

CarolynF · 01-04-2011, 01:23 PM

Decluttering is exhausting..

TuscanGirl · 01-04-2011, 04:55 PM

Yes, it is!

sjl330 · 01-04-2011, 05:11 PM

So there's a reason I'm so tired today??? Yay!!!!

CarolynF · 01-04-2011, 07:27 PM

Hi gang..

Brett made it to Salina..Tomorrow is apartment hunting..

Brr..it is cold here.

Hope everyone sleeps well tonight..

TuscanGirl · 01-05-2011, 04:14 AM

Morning!
I did - but it wasn't long enough!

I hope Brett can find a good apartment with all the amenities - heat, cable, internet, water would be great!

Spin this morning and then lunch with girlfriends - and hopefully getting the rest of the Christmas dishes put away!

sjl330 · 01-05-2011, 07:14 AM

I feel lazy this a.m. but need to get moving. The day looks too pretty to miss it.

My scale is moving back down in the right direction. So that's good news.

TuscanGirl · 01-05-2011, 08:36 AM

Great spin class today!
Almost an hour!

Shower, lunch out, errands and then home to do the house.
Dinner?
I have no clue!

I didn't weigh today . . . .

CarolynF · 01-05-2011, 02:18 PM

Hi ladies..

Brett found an apartment..Now, dh is leaving next week for a business trip, so we think
we can move him this Friday. AKKKKK..Going to rent a 16 foot Budget truck..as there
were no trailers available I hope that darned thing doesn't break down..LOL..Remember this summer when our pickup broke down TWICE (2 tows) while getting Brett's stuff
from college? We know the pickup is in good shape, but hopefully, the Budget truck is in good shape..LOL.

MK: We are so proud of your spinning talents.

Sandy: Yeah for the scale going down..

sjl330 · 01-05-2011, 03:13 PM

I do remember that Carolyn. Hopefully you'll have no repeats this time.

I went to see The Tourist this afternoon with a friend. Can I just say...Angelina Jolie is beautiful!!! And this movie was like a showcase for her and her beauty. I'm not sure about her as a person but she is sure pretty.

CarolynF · 01-05-2011, 05:12 PM

LOL..So light some candles on Friday when we leave..

Was The Tourist good?? She is a beautiful woman for sure..

sjl330 · 01-05-2011, 06:12 PM

Yes, we liked it. Not very deep but interesting. And beautiful location where they shot it too, so that was nice.

I'll be saying an extra prayer for you Friday.

TuscanGirl · 01-05-2011, 08:01 PM

Yay for Brett!
Take pictures for us!

CarolynF · 01-06-2011, 06:05 AM

Hi..

Yup, I should take some pictures of the big truck dh will be driving..Luckily, the apartment is on the ground floor..

Guess what? Chinese food is not good for LCers..

Carolyn, back away from the eggrolls..LOL.

Brett has to take his drug test this morning..Good thing we don't have to worry about that one..(no kidding)...Things to be thankful for.

Off to exercise, then back to assist in packing. My theory is all men need wives or
mothers.

Catch ya later.

sjl330 · 01-06-2011, 07:48 AM

Ain't that the truth Carolyn!! And good for you on the exercise. I would just consider the packing as exercise, lol.

CarolynF · 01-06-2011, 11:54 AM

Packing is going okay..Sorting through "college" stuff sometimes takes a while because you tend to look at it longer than you have time for..KWIM? At least the sheets/towels/clothes are clean, so I have done my part..

Going to the farm to get minlaw's pans. Remember Saladmaster pans? Really, really
nice pans..heavy stainless. Well, he can take several for warming up stuff. I hope
Betty won't be rolling in her grave.

TuscanGirl · 01-06-2011, 01:46 PM

I don't remember those . . . .

CarolynF · 01-06-2011, 01:51 PM

Mary Kay...you are such a young thing..When I was a kid there was a guy on tv who would advertise them..

Not cheap at all..Betty splurged and she took very good care of them.

TuscanGirl · 01-06-2011, 01:58 PM

Oh yes - so young!

Going to google them . . . .

These??

sjl330 · 01-06-2011, 02:15 PM

Yep that's them. My mom had them too so I'm sure they're still up at Dad's somewhere. I remember the demonstration when the guy came to sell them to my parents. I also remember the Kirby guy. Which they also bought, lol. I think they were easy, lol.

Buffy45 · 01-06-2011, 05:16 PM

I'm back home. Very tired but oh, I soooooooooo am in love with my new little Oliver. I have renamed DDIL Mama Bear and Oliver our little Cubbie bear. She is such a good mommy and sooooo protective of her little cubbie. Very sweet to see. DS is a great Papa bear too, I had a wonderful time, think I really helped out and wished I could have stayed longer, I really really loved cuddling him and helping with him. They even ventured out for dinner one night while Mema babysit, I told them now, since he just ate, you have a good 3 hours, have a great time. They were back in one hour, LOL.

Will catch up on all your posts tomorrow, did see Brett has the job and an apartment, yay!!!!

sjl330 · 01-06-2011, 06:15 PM

Welcome home Buffy, It sounds like you had a wonderful time. And I'm sure they were thrilled to have your help too.

TuscanGirl · 01-06-2011, 06:31 PM

Buffy - how awesome!!!

CarolynF · 01-07-2011, 04:59 AM

Hi ladies..

Today is moving day..

I'll miss old Brett, but I'm happy for him. I am totally hoping this turns out to be a long term job with Schwan's after the 6 month internship.

Taking Gary down to get the truck this morning..The guys are so laid back..and feel I am the moving coordinator..KWIM? LOL.

Oh, Mema..It's nice to see when a mom really enjoys her baby and you will know she will be a great mom. Glad you had Oliver for an hour...I'm sure you were a great help.

Got a few pots and pans from the farm and some silverware that had never been used..
LOL..Washed those up this morning..Better hop in the shower in case someone actually
wakes up...(besides me and Alex)..

Catch ya later..No interwebs at the Motel 6 where we are staying tonight..It was so cheap we got 2 rooms...LOL

TuscanGirl · 01-07-2011, 05:31 AM

Morning!

Great sushi dinner last night for DDalmost27's bday!
She loved the Nook we got her too.

I was up at 4:45 this morning to call the gym to sign up for the 8:30 spin class on Sunday morning. It's 90 minutes, and the spots go quickly.
yes, I'm getting a little obsessed!

sjl330 · 01-07-2011, 06:38 AM

MK, obsessing about exercising is probably way more productive than obsessing about chocolate or lasagna, or pizza or ice cream. You are an inspiration!

Carolyn, like you said the other day, all men need wives or mothers. That's our job: life coordination. Once we start it and they get used to it, there's no going back. Have fun and enjoy the move. If you can, lol.
