Hi gals..

Oh, Sandy...hope you feel better forever...and Buffy..we need to get at the bottom of that headache business..Any food allergies? My friend can't eat cheese or she gets a migraine, which would be horrible.

No bigger boobies here..In fact when we lose, they shrink..

I just made some Drop Scones by George Stella..Very good..125 calories, so not terrible for a nice treat with my Oolong Tea..LOL..

From your lips to God's ears...

Now, girls, am I supposed to ignore all that Downton Abbey banter, hmmm?

[CarolynF]

LOL..Judy..Maybe there will be a giant snowstorm and you can have your own personal DA marathon..LOL..

[JMCM1]

That.

Would.

Be.

Awesome!!!

[sjl330]

Judy, do you have Netflix? The first 2 seasons are on Netflix, if you get desperate. I think Nflix is a pretty good deal. I also have HuluPlus. I got these when I whittled my cable services down and am still saving a lot.

Myself, I'd prefer not to have a huge snowstorm right now. Or anytime really, for that matter.

[sjl330]

Maybe we should start a separate EFGT DAbbey thread so Judy doesn't have to read through the spoilers here on our thread.???

No!!!
No!!!!

I won't read them.
I'll ignore them.

[CarolynF]

I think that Judy can watch 3, then the other ones.

Oh the Bachelor it is Kansas State football player Shawn. He is fitness model.
Then The Biggest Loser is on too. Gotta set the DvR. Lol

[sjl330]

Wow! How did I not know that Shawn played football at K-State? Did they mention that last year on Bachelorette?

Personally, I could never watch a 3rd season of a show before I watched the first 2.

I think there is a DA thread on the Playground.

[DebbyL]

Hi gals

Had a good Monday @ work & town. Picked up my new slacks that had to be hemmed. Finally found some that I like the fit of! Can you believe, a 4 Sizing these days.

Went for a x-country ski. Its warmed up a bit, but I put on a face-mask & goggles. Scarey!

Oh, DH made it to Sayulita, Mexico. Where he's finally getting to enjoy the beach & sun.

[CindyCRNA]

Debby, so is this picture a tracking device on his cell phone?

Hi Cindy,
This is from the SPOT satellite that he has. It sends a simple message with his location, so I can track him. When I look at it I can zoom in & see the google earth image of the area... that's what I am posting. Pretty cool huh? It also has emergency buttons which will alert & send help if he needs it.

[JMCM1]

That is cool! Nice to know he can let it be known if he needs help...
Gotta congratulate you on the size 4s! I bet you are feeling well in those little slacks!


Please don't leave EFGT for the PG to discuss DA.
I would miss you all!

[sjl330]

Debby, that sounds like a great little item to have on a trip. How long will he get to enjoy Sayulita? We love that little town too!

Judy, if it doesn't bother you, I'm not going over to the PG thread. I have enough PG in my life right here right now, lol.

[JMCM1]

Doesn't bother me a bit!
I was only teasing.

Yes, Sean played before Brett got there...

It's amazing the Debby's husband is at the beach enjoying the sun and she is cross country skiing..LOL.

Wowo Alabama. ....

Something STRANGE going on!

[TuscanGirl]

Hi!
It took me a while to wade through 2 pages and skip the DAbbey stuff - I haven't watched it yet!!

Thanks for liking DS's adventure!
It's helping me get through this week!

Sandy - No Skype or anything - i haven't heard from him since he told me he landed at the airport.
I hope he's fine!

Sounds like work... & a bit of fun. Bet its hard to do the studying while in such a gorgeous setting!

[CarolynF]

Good morning ladies!!

Lunch is a very important part of any day for sure. When were on our Bar Harbor land tour on the fall it lasted until 2 with no lunch stop. LOL

Exercise/Bible study today.

What's up with everyone? I hope Buffy and Sandy are better.

[JMCM1]

Good morning!

Working to finish my little project and then be free for awhile.
Frugal mind you, but free.

I am wondering about Buffy too. Sandy did post yesterday, thank goodness.
I think we need to hear from Buffy as soon as she is able.

I hope everyone has a great day and then tells us about it!

[TuscanGirl]

Morning!!
I need a catered lunch!
LC of course!!

Cleaning day!
Don't let me back on here before I clean something!!

[sjl330]

I think I'm better again today. I hope so, b/c I'm going to go to lunch with friends that's our scheduled monthly get together. I feel like I've been on a very long journey since I saw all of them last. It will be so good to see them again and just relax and catch up with each other. My house is still a disaster, but it's not going anywhere, that's for sure.. I just hope I don't have any drop in visitors, lol. I had a dream last night that I was having some kind of a party, where they sell stuff, and everybody started coming and I'd forgotten about it and we just had the party right in the middle of the disastrous house. Nightmare!!! Lol.

Yes, I wish Buffy would check in!

MK, does your DS know that we expect a trip report with details when he gets home. I hope that's an assignment and that you can snag a copy to share with us. It would be so interesting to hear his activity side of the itinery.
Oh, I'd sure take the bigger boobs part of being PG, just none of the other parts, lolol. I'm surprised nobody has marketed some scam promising PG Boobs, in just 5 min per day, lol.

[TuscanGirl]

Bigger boobs for only $19.95!
And if you order now . . . .

I want to go to St Louis with DH to pick him up so I can get all the info before he passes into a coma and forgets it all!!

He also has to write a report when he gets back about whichever area is his major/minor.
Biology majors write on whatever they saw in the water, etc.
He has a minor on archeology, so I guess his will be on the ruins.

Oh I hope you would get to go to St. Louis and hear - I'm a horrible re-teller, maybe your DS is better.
Ugh. A report.
Now I remember why I am glad I'm no longer in school.

As I get back to writing reports....
