Good morning all -

Just got back from Miami last night and despite the cold, its 7 here, I am very happy to be back. The last few days there were rainy and cold and I was not prepared. So, needless to say, I have a wicked cold! I have a lot of catching up to do here (I had no 'puter there...) so if anyone has a summary for me of what I missed, bring it on!!!

Have a super day everyone!

Morning...
Take some Vitamin C Hawk, and did you see PreciousPinot while in Miami?? (PP?)
I'm a Florida girl too and it is much too cold for what we are used too. Your northerners need to take your weather and keep it where it belongs! Sorry you got sicky poo here.

Off to the carpool line....
Have a great day everyone!

Okay---officially late to school, but had to catch up a little..
Sorry about the kitties. That makes me very sad, as we recently lost a pet and it was heartbreaking to my family, so I understand.
Weather here is supposed to be nice today--70? Is that right Sophie? But tomorrow cold again. Texas weather, ya know.

Well kitty is still not home - now its been two overnights in the bitter cold... and I dont think that's a good sign. The poor thing. I am really sad today actually. He was my cat first and he was so shy but turned into a really beautiful animal. He is so affectionate now.
Well, there is not much I can do. I know my mother feels a lot worst considering she let him outside in the first place...
Anyways its day 5 for me of my AF run....feeling strong....
Love you guys
And I was saying. (I posted it in the wrong spot yesterday LOL) - MM that is a fabulous idea as Valentine's day approaches - we should have a contest - who can come up with the most fabulous, outrageous, creative outfit for Valentine's AND the best poem - can be a combined effort or two different contests! Who's in??

Good morning everybody!! Hawk so sorry you are sick, hope you feel better. Soccermom - Glad you are here; I too sometimes have trouble keeping in touch. Oh, the hectic lives we live. Good morning to you too Allie. I hope everyone has a great day.

Jen, I was thinking about you and Allie and your cats last night. I have an Aunt and a best friend, both of them just love cats. My one friend at one point had 14 of them! My aunt usually has two to four. Both of them used to tell me how they would take cats in when they would find them in inclement weather. In fact, my mom's next door neighbor created a shelter in her garage for stray cats, even put in a little door for them. Cats are so adorable (even though I'm a dog person myself), so usually someone will take steps to protect them if they see them out in this kind of weather. Perhaps someone took in your cat -- that is in my prayers today and when the weather warms, she will find her way home. Just think about all of the people that you have known in your life who have taken in stray cats -- here there are many. They do say cats have nine lives. Do you remember the Disney movie "Thomasina". I hope your cat finds its way home, and I hope you feel better soon.

Count me in on the Valentine's day contest! I think it would be so much fun -- everyone here is so creative. I want to borrow Beth's shoes!!!! (just kidding)

Have a great day!

Jen, so sorry your kitty is not home yet.... that is so sad. On my way to school this morning, I had to see my kitty on the side of the road... yes, he's still there. Its a busy road, so he has been hit so many times now and I can hardly drive down it. My son said this morning... "aww, there's a cat that got hit Mom" . There was no way I could tell him it was in fact, our cat. Even then, he still didnt ask about Cole. I cant believe he hasnt noticed he's gone yet! I hope your cat has found a warm and safe place to weather out the cold Jen.

On a brighter note, someone mentioned some Valentines ideas yesterday.... has anyone made plans yet? I need to get creative! We get stuck in a rut every year... either I cook something special and candelit dinner with the family, or my husband and I go out and make the older two babysit. Which they hate! I want to do something different... more surprisey??

I'm in the mood for love... LOL:h

Happy Wednesday
Allie

Morning all!!! Thanks for the kind words when I was feeling down yesterday. I am hoping today will be better, although the heavy gray clouds are looming outside which never help matters. 70 degrees in Texas? Unreal.

Hawk, I had no idea you were going to the actual game. Yowza. Talk about chaos!!! Sorry you are sick but glad you got home safely.

Allie, that is such a sad story about your cat and you have to keep driving by him?

Jen, congrats on the AF run and I am sorry about your cat too.

MM, funny you said I should become a counselor. My friends tell me that quite often because I am always the voice of reason, but I tend to neglect myself in that area. Working on it though.

Fan, where are you? Too quiet for my liking.

Gypsi, my thoughts are with you. Any word on coming to Seattle?

Waves, you too have been much too quiet.

PP, any word on who stole your laptop?

Oops, gonna be late to get daughter to school. Love you guys. Sorry for whoever I forgot...........

Hi all!

Allie, I am so sorry about your kitty..that is just awful.

Hawk, I didn't reallize you were going to be here...we could have met up

and yes, I agree Lush..too many people being too quite..Fan, Waves, Imagine, Mary Anne, Gypsi, E...

I am 90% sure that one of my clients stole my computer. He is an antisocial. I think he came early, was surprised to find one of the back doors open, knew someone was going to be here any minute, stole two laptops and left quickly....he has also been paranoid about police lately and had cash on him when he shouldn't have...so...mystery solved...busy day and people are lining up at my office...be back later

Just a quick hello!!

Hawk, sorry you are under the weather! And sorry you caught your cold here in my neck of the woods!

Jenneh!! You go girl...day 5!! That is great!!

Allie..Yuk! I can't believe you have to drive past your cat! Can you pick it up an bury it maybe? Or is it not in a condition to do that at this point? You may have to tell Seth something!! I am reminded of this racoon that had died on the side of the road a few years ago...and no one came to pick it up for a VEERY long time....I don't know...can you take another route???

I had a little problem this morning of a golf ball crashing through the window of the room I use as my office...and of course I have a parent coming this afternoon to review her child's report...sooo...I had to get someone in quick to fix it....oh the joys of living on a golf course lol...gotta love it.

well...off to my day...hope all is good with everone else. Lush, glad you are feeling better...Hi soccormom and MM as well!!

Why do I feel so stupid when I never understand half of those Universe sayings? Honestly, I feel like a moron. LOL!!!

Hey Allie, how is Becca? She has not been around here at all. Becca, we miss you. Check in. And you too Rachele.

Bak, sorry about your golf ball in the window. Small price to pay I guess for living on a golf course. How lovely.

Lush, you are sweet to think of me, thank you!

School cancellations and delays are making me more of a full time parent than I'm accustomed to and there's been no time for me




I'm doing well after going on a 4 day hum dinger last week. Today will be day 3 AF and my body needs it!

I have a lot of catching up to do and honestly I feel a little guilty that I haven't been more welcoming to new members.

Hawk, Sm Mary, Allie, Precious, Jenneh, Mighty, Bak, and everyone still to come, I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!
