I was planning on checking in later, but my plans got a little warped today by....guess what? Yep- sinus ickies! I'm about to get off my butt & either attempt going through clothes (we have a potential storage run tomorrow AM- may wait till next week....but I'm going to get my drawings outta there when we do go....I'm ultra paranoid about having those in there now.); or I may exercise. I really need to exercise & then shower, 'cause I want to do my hair today (priorities! lol). The coleur du jour will be Nutmeg (a dark brown). It's one of those 24 shampoo lasting kinds. I'd really like to do a dark red, but I have too much permanent black/brown stuff on the lower half of my hair (but hey, 2 inches of it got hacked off yesterday! woo hoo!). I actually think the darker stuff goes better with my skin tone- *ode to Leslie*- I've wanted red hair forever though. The reds just kinda wash me out- I don't have the *right* kind of pale complexion for it. I have a lot of red in my skin, but it's not the right kind. OK- this is *really* not coming out the way I want it to- but I think ya'll know what I mean. I guess I'd need to have that smooth rosy/milky kind- which I don't. (What happened to *that* part of my Irish/English ancestry? LOL)
*Greg's on now*
You gals have been busy already today! ;-D
a h- I haven't tried to email Greg.....still trying to figure out what to write to Todd to get that pic. I'm going to need the influence of Merlot tonight- maybe that will help ;-p
Nan- I'm sorry you're "home alone". I'm sure at times it's nice, but it's prolly the pits most of the time. Hang in there- take advantage of the things that you don't normally get to do. Summers always make me fire wary- and then sad and worried when one breaks out. "Kitchen Cabinet"- love it! Had to chuckle at the image of our Fox hotties tossing their shirts, etc down from the balconies! :-D What a great image....tee hee hee You know, you came up with what I was trying to think of the other day "if you build it, they will come" - I was trying to put together some analogy but was unsuccessful- but you did! :D I know what you mean about the central valley of CA.....I forget where you are there? My stepsons live in Fresno with their mother. The central valley is a hotbed of illegals. What burns me is that (as the liberals say) yeah, they do all the crap work, BUT they do it without any taxes & everything that the state takes out of our checks AND they don't have to report it for annual taxes. I'm *sure* there are able bodied US CITIZENS out there willing to do the so called work that no one else will supposedly do but illegals. I just don't buy it. But I guess that's part of what makes me a conservative. I feel *so* bad for you that your family has to go through that. I'm totally all for the exit exam- that's the only thing that will really show that kids are learning- and no way should they be able to re-take it over & over again. That's great that your son passed it his freshman year!! :D Hang in there....... I hear you & sympathize with you. (Side note: sometimes I feel like a horrible person for what I say, I have nothing against people who come here LEGALLY and PLAY BY THE RULES of the US- more power to them and I'm proud of them.....but these folks who are getting a free ride are a WHOLE other thing....)
Jen- Our Giants won- 10-7 YEAH!! And you're very welcome for the toast! I guess I missed that particular "late night with leventhal" show- 'course I was a little slow catching on and didn't know what I know now- hehehe. Plus I didn't (still don't) have control of the remote..... Jen Jen Jen..... you remind me a little bit of myself when I was your age. I always felt more mature than my years when I was 20-ish. I've long been told that I worry too much and that I need to "lighten up". It took me a long time to get past some of that stuff, but I do still worry- need to work on that. Oh yeah, and I was constantly told in my early 20's that I tried to plan too much. Somehow I got by that one....I'm more spontaneous than I used to be. I guess time helps with those things, but don't live your life away planning. There's so many things now that I wished I'd done before but didn't because it didn't fit "the plan" I had at that time. I know there are some things that you *do* have to plan- school definitely being one of them. Enjoy your 20's - you have so much freedom now (and actually I still do now- if not more than I'd thought I would in my 30's). Just don't forget to enjoy life- things really do have a way of working out for the best. It took me a long time to learn that because I feel like I have to control my life & stuff, but deep down I know now that things will work out for the way they are meant to be. Never lose faith. Now, I just have to keep reminding myself of that.....now just as much as yesterday. Stick with us 'Gals- we'll keep you going till you're 90+! It's great to be girly & silly over things- you Gals here have been a great support group and make me laugh on a daily basis! Oooh- I like the rubber band idea.....I could use that!
Leslie- Glad you'll stick around! :D I think I'd rather be crazy than eccentric- I'd rather be broke & happy than rich & miserable. You sound like you have fun hair! Mine's just kinda straight with a few renegade waves. Believe it or not, my mom has naturally curly hair- like tight curly- like a tight perm. Can you believe I got straight? I still can't. My sister got that great "wave perm" kind of curls. She used to have natural ringlets when she was 5- I used to pull them (gently!) down just to watch them bounce LOL! I don't mind the hair I have-wish sometimes it had more body, but I've always been glad I didn't get the super curly like mom. I think your mane of riotous red curls would get Shep's attention! My God, $125/hr????? I can think of so many things I'd rather spend that money on. My heart went out to you about the girls having pink eye one time and only being able to buy one set of antibiotics..... I don't blame you for not wanting to be *there* again. Great Home Depot story- LMAO!! I know it's hard when you see a great bargain (the house) and know it'd be better than what you have now- unfortunately reason has to be used also. I would make a list of pros & cons about one house & the other (although I'm sure you've already thought of that). No landscape, fence, garage, driveway would be bad. That had to tug at your heartstrings to have Sarah tell you "mine" about that bedroom. I know you would give them the world if you could. Unfortunately my only advice is the obvious- think about all the ins & outs of it hard. I know my first impulse would be "let's do it" without really thinking of the ramifications (that's my hubby's job I guess. He keeps me grounded.) Mmmm....I LOVE Swedish meatballs- I'll be over! (And I'll find a jug of Merlot to bring with....)
Jayel- I second you for the Dept. of Immigration if you promise to attempt what you say! (Although, good luck facing all the libs on these.....) ;-D It'd be about time someone did *something*!! I agree- TV lust is totally harmless. We need a little 'eye candy' every now & then.....we need more "now" though...LOL With Greg- I'd also have to agree that he's quite reserved and a little shy- I'm sure that the recent attention has really surprised him (although it really shouldn't- well, at least to us anyway). LOVED the whole shirt lecture thing.... great lectures.....LMAO. LOL about the strip at the bottom of the screen.....reminds me of the old "black bar" they (media, whomever) use when covering someone's eyes or other body parts to either protect their identity or 'naughties'.
