Having a good day, for no particular reason :smile1:

[Rellevart]

I had two windows replaced today and last time when I had windows replaced, they left a layer of dust over my entire apartment, so I covered everything in dropcloths last night. But no dust, no dirt, no mess. They did a really clean job. :smile1:

[DizzymissLizzy909]

This little old lady on the bus this morning made my day. :smile1: She must've been 80 years old, and she got on and slowly made her way to a seat near the front. The driver tried to wave away a mosquito that had followed her in, and then the cute old lady said, "oh, did I bring him in with me?" and got up with her two shopping bags, moved back towards the front bus door, and started stomping on this mosquito and swatting it madly with her bags. :laugh5: Finally she stopped and looked at the driver and said, "I think I killed it", then inched back towards her seat. She was soo cute. :laugh5:

can I tag along ? sounds fun !

[Sally]

can I tag along ? sounds fun !

Get your arse over here matey!! Wouldn't it be great if we could all meet up in a big old house for a week and have a big big party? We could have one week over the States one year, then one over here another year, then one is Canada or somewhere another year and so on.

[SandySunshine]

I spent many a family holiday in Cornwall as a child and have visited Mevagissey many times!!! My gran used to call it "Fishy Gissy"!!!!!
Thanks to all the people who've wished me well in my new home, by the way!!!

[Lizzy]

Well I see my choice of name wasn´t much good... :laugh5: I guess I should search the board a bit more before I choose it :wink2:

[DizzymissLizzy909]

Well I see my choice of name wasn´t much good... :laugh5: I guess I should search the board a bit more before I choose it :wink2:

Nothing wrong with your name... sooner or later we're bound to have a few members here with the same first names! :wink1:

[Lizzy]

Nothing wrong with your name... sooner or later we're bound to have a few members here with the same first names! :wink1:

Yeah,right... Fortunately I guess Elizabeth isn´t much used name so I think this is maybe final number :wink2: (at least for a while :teeth1: )

[Georgia]

Well, I guess Elizabeth is a name which you can manipulate quite good with... there's a lot of names origined from Elizabeth - Beth, Betty, Eliza, Liz, Lizzy :wink1: , Lizzie, Lisbeth, Elly, and maybe more. :smile1:

[Georgia]

Sometimes I think I should have chosen another screen name as well :teeth1: - there's too many people with a similar name featuring "George" in it, but I couldn't help myself when I had to decide which name to choose, I love the Ray Charles' song too much and the references to it in "Back In The USSR" as well :laugh5:

[Lizzy]

Lisbeth??? I haven´t ever seen it :-)))

[Lizzy]

I think your name is O.K. :thumbu2:

[Georgia]

Lisbeth??? I haven´t ever see it :-)))

Actually, I have never seen it too, until I read a book with a main hero called Elizabeth, but everyone called her Lisbeth :smile1: I like the name by the way.

[Lizzy]

Thanks... I really like your real name too,I used it in some sms-conversation once cause it´s one of my favourite girl´s names :smile1:

[beatlebangs1964]

Georgia,

I love your avatar of early 1965 George. He's so adorable in that picture.

My MNI - I had my fist voice lesson today and it went great :smile1: We did warm ups of coarse, and then sang 'Feed the Birds' from Mary Poppins, one my favorites from the movie :teeth1:

[chiliace]

My NI is having an all radar channel in the UF range. I can get this even when the cable is "down". Might not sound like much, but with the nasty storms we have been getting lately I am happy with the access.

[Rellevart]

I got "Oh! Darling" tabbed out tonight. Wanted to get two songs done, but oh well, at least I got one done.

Other MNI, I did well in a business meeting today - those things always make me nervous, but I got through my part of the presentation just fine.

And another? My friend works for Mars and she gave me coupons for free ice cream a couple weeks ago and I still have one left.

[chiliace]

I am now officially a Day Tripper!!! (applause,fortissimo.)

Do you think thats where the expression "She talks with a plum in her mouth" comes from? Never heard people say "She talks with plums in her mouth" though.

Had a nice dinner with my friend and her husband and watched a pretty spectacular fireworks display downtown tonight. And got out before the crowd!

[Sally]

the couple upstairs didn't have any hanky panky last night, either he wasn't around or they were too knackered after the marathon shag fest's they've had the past few nights.

[Roxy Starkey]

Had a great Saturday night with my boyfriend, my best friend and her boyfriend. :smile1:

Happy anniversary! :smile1:
(Oh that just reminded me...)

[justanothergirl]

Happy Anniversary!!

[justanothergirl]

I was just cleaning out my suit case from my trip, and when I got to the bottom I noticed, under a piece of material that covers up the bars, a twenty dollar bill and then another. I just ended up ripping the cover off the Velcro and I found a big wad of twenties! It ends up that this is the money that my Mom and I thought we had lost when we went to Georgia a little more than a year ago! My Mom had gone over it a hundred different times, but never saw it for some reason. She was so thrilled she gave me twenty dollars :teeth1:

[Sally]

Glad i am a girl, it really is Betty Swollock weather today.

[Zimmerman The Gnome]

Tell me about it! Mine are melting into my pants and I'm not even sure if they are still there!:bigeyes3:

I had a door to door salesman come to my door last week, my sister answered the door, there was a man there, he said " I am not selling anything" she said "glad to know that" and closed the door on him! :laugh5: I just thought that was hilarious!

:laugh5: Good for her! That's how you've got to handle them. :wink1:

[DizzymissLizzy909]

Happy anniversary Claire! It's good having you around. :smile1:

[Sally]

Gonna spend the whole of Sunday and Monday with my friends Tanya, Alan and little Maya :teeth1: She is doing very well, putting on lots of weight and getting fit and strong for her next op in September.

[HMVNipper]

You be sure to kiss and hug Maya from all us BLinkers, Sally!

[Sally]

Thanks I will :teeth1:

That's great news! :teeth1: I'm so happy for her and her family!

[beatlelover45223]

good to hear Maya is doing well! :teeth1:

[DizzymissLizzy909]

That's great to hear about Maya! I was thinking of her this morning, actually, wondering how she'd been doing since we last heard about her. :smile1:

My MNI today is that I have fabulous co-workers! :teeth1:

[chiliace]

Glad i am a girl, it really is Betty Swollock weather today.
According to Mucky Button,Betty Swollock is rumoured to be considering changing her name to Randy McPoontang.

Putting my city sticker on my car wasn't nearly as arduous a process as it usually is. Last year's sticker peeled off quite easily and I was all done in less than 10 minutes.

if you dont mind me asking a personal question Rell you dont have to answer but how much do those stickers cost?and im assuming its for parking in your neighborhood right?

[Sally]

feel on cloud 9 today, not sure why, just do.

[SandySunshine]

So am I!!!!! It must be something in the air!!!!!

[DizzymissLizzy909]

Finding a CD I thought I'd lost years ago. :smile1:

[Rellevart]

if you dont mind me asking a personal question Rell you dont have to answer but how much do those stickers cost?and im assuming its for parking in your neighborhood right?

Ha! I WISH it was for parking in my neighborhood...unfortunately, it's just for the priviledge of owning a car in the city of Chicago - $75 a year.

[twovirgins]

damn so you have to buy another additional for parking even if youre a resident of the block?

[Rellevart]

damn so you have to buy another additional for parking even if youre a resident of the block?

Nope, parking passes don't exist in my neighborhood...you can park anywhere you want free of charge, it's just first come first served and there aren't nearly enough spaces for everybody. Sometimes I get home late at night and I have to drive around for an hour or more to find a place to park, or I have to park a mile or two away. But it doesn't cost me anything.

That's why my car is 12 years old and only has 40,000 miles on it. :wink1:

wow thanks for the info Rell my car is 11 and it just hit over 100K :P

[Sally]

Just watered my garden and myself at the same time, felt nice in this heat but the neighbours probably thought I was abit weird.

[sourmilkpinky]

are you wearing a white tshirt Sally???

[luvsthebeatles]

This is the last day the roofers are coming to our house. :smile1:

[Sally]

:laugh5: :laugh5: Even if I was, one side of the fence its a little old lady and the other side is a gay couple!

[beatlebangs1964]

Martha Stewart, who, IMHO ain't too cute is on the cover of a magazine with a fat, adorable black French bulldog. Martha could use a good haircut, get the facial mole removed and treat herself to a facial. She could apply the same remodel a kitchen to remodeling herself. That French bulldog, on the other hand was adorable. She had a cute, bulldog face; pointy ears; an oblong, chubby body and coal black eyes. French bulldogs look sort of like Bostons with bulk and terrier ears.

[luvsthebeatles]

Getting an answer to an e-mail from the director of the choir I'm in :teeth1: He is such an amazing man, he directs a choir of 16,000, tells us to e-mail him, and answers the letters. Wow.

[Roxy Starkey]

I woke up with no fever. Hope it continues like that, though I'm not feeling good enough to go out.

[luvsthebeatles]

Glad your fever's gone Rox! Keep getting better! :smile1:

[HMVNipper]

I hope you feel well enough to go out soon, Roxy! Just take care of yourself and I'm sure you'll be fine soon!

[HMVNipper]

This is the last day the roofers are coming to our house. :smile1:

And I bet you will be QUITE glad for the peace and quiet! :bigeyes3:

[justanothergirl]

Getting a new CD player, after getting to the point with my old one that I had to hold it at a certin angle for it to play. LOL!

[luvsthebeatles]

And I bet you will be QUITE glad for the peace and quiet! :bigeyes3:
Yes, especially since they started working at 6:30 this morning.

[Rellevart]

I got something done by 3:30 that I thought I was going to have to stay late to finish. I love those days when you feel really smart! :smile1:

[DizzymissLizzy909]

Really really really looking forward to my cup of coffee I'm going to buy at work this morning!

[Rellevart]

After our show last Sunday, this adorable little old man with some sort of Eastern European accent was roaming around saying "God bless you for ze beautiful music! Oh! God bless you! Oh! You wunnerful!" He was so cute. :smile1:

[Siobhan]

The council have finally cleared the garage at the top of my garden which burnt down in May. Hopefully now I can try and get the garden in some sort of order before the end of summer so the kids can go out and play. And I won't have that nasty burnt smell everytime I open the back door.

[IMeMine1969]

I'm really loving my summer job! :teeth1: I'm working for the local parks and recreation doing summer playground programs. It's really a fun job, and really rewarding too! All the kids have a lot of fun, and they really seem to like us teachers too!

[sourmilkpinky]

Good news all around :)

I can finally hear the music at work again!!!

[MaccaGirl2891]

My cousin is getting married tomorrow!!! I can't wait!!!

[LittleDarlin909]

I'm going to see one of my best friends tonight for the first time in over a year!

[Rellevart]

I get to go see my favorite band tonight and they're playing in my neighborhood so I don't have to drive!

[Rellevart]

Free breakfast AND lunch on the company today! And free ice cream in the afternoon from our office building. Just ROLL me home. Or should this be an irritant? :wink1:

[Sally]

Our council has finally given us better resources to recyle, about time too. We now have bins for Glass/cans, paper and now food waste. They are also considering bringing in a fine for people that don't recycle which is great because our landfill sites are running out! Also food waste in a landfill site puts methane into air (green house gas) which contributes to global warming and also liquid called Leachate which can pollute groundwater damaging plants and animals.

So all good news in my book, I feel quite strong about eco issues. So George maybe if everyone does the same we may not kill our planet after all, well slow it down anyway........:afraid2:

[Rellevart]

Getting a really nice e-mail from a co-worker who's leaving after today to go back to school. :smile1:

[justanothergirl]

Rediscovering a fantastic song! :smile1:

[Lizzy]

Finally,the first week of my summer job is behind me... I´m looking forward to having a rest at weekend,cause I´m totally ground-down. It would never occure to me how hard archeology can be :bigeyes3:

[DizzymissLizzy909]

Free pancake and sausage breakfast at work this morning, and all the coffee you can drink! :dance:

[Cecilia]

Getting an unexpected call from an old friend whom I didn't talk since a long time, and being chatting with her during almost an hour :smile1:

[luvsthebeatles]

Having an awesome practice last night for the Day of Celebration! The actual performance is tonight. I'm sad it'll be ending though.

[sourmilkpinky]

Break a legs Luvs!!! I am so glad it is here....you are going to be awesome:)
I will be there in spirit.

[Rellevart]

"Cooler by the lake" was a blessing today. It was BROILING out west of here today, but right where I live it wasn't too bad as long as you stayed in the shade.

[Celebrian]

Still enjoying the heck out of le Tour de France!

[MaccaGirl2891]

My cousin's wedding was AWESOME!!!! Congratulations to the newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Chad and Gabrielle Kemerly!!! Read all about it at my Xanga site! I also caught the bouquet! Never expected it.

[luvsthebeatles]

The performance last night was unbelievable! There was about 50,000 people there all together, with the choir, the dancers, and the flag bearers. It's beyond words how great and fun it was. :smile1:

[sourmilkpinky]

I am so glad it was great!! of course I had no doubt ;)

[luvsthebeatles]

Hehe, I could feel you there watching. :wink1:

Now I can enjoy my last week of the winter break :smile1:

[luvsthebeatles]

Glad to hear that Roxy! :teeth1:

[Lynner]

All in all a very nice weekend. Had several parties to go to and had a fun time at all of them.

[Lynner]

Tried a new snack recipe on Saturday and it was a big hit! Yay! It's kiind of an egg salad spread: little mustard and mayo, cream cheese, hard cooked eggs and green onions. It was really tasty!

[Lynner]

Going to spend the day with my mom! Can't wait.

[Sally]

Had a great weekend, went to a music festival yesterday and had a great time, kids did too. Got to see little Maya (she looks great but still so small and fragile) and a ride in her mum and dads psychedelic bus to the festival!

[SgtPeppers]

Finished working for my 10 days at the stampede, it was long but worth it! Now i can have my life back!

[Rellevart]

A talk I had to give at a group meeting (in front of about 45 people - ack!) actually went pretty well today. Whew. Glad THAT'S over.

[luvsthebeatles]

I entered an icon challenge on a LJ comminity, and I tied for 2nd place! :teeth1:

[beatlelover45223]

:thumbu1: glad things went well for you both, luvs & Rell.

[Lynner]

Had a 2 1/2 hour phone conversation with a friend who lives too far away!

[Sally]

Taking my boys on a teddy bears picnic today.

[Rellevart]

Day off work tomorrow! Whoo!

[chiliace]

I saw the Twins (baseball team, major league, for those who don't follow U.S. sports) win last night's game. They won in the bottom of the nineth inning, making it a real cliff hanger.
Sally, if you have time, what is a teddy bears picnic ? Sounds like something exclusively British, and fun!

I know as much about baseball as you do about a teddy bears picnic :laugh5:

All a teddy bears picnic is, is having a huge picnic with a gang of kids and they all bring their teddy bears or chosen soft toy to sit next to them and the kids give their teddy bears tea aswell as themselves.

Its all based around the song The Teddy Bears Picnic as on the following link, feel free to sing along!! Its very sweet and for little kids, my sons are 4 and 1.

[Lynner]

For the most part, today has been rather pleasant.

[Lynner]

We finally got some rain today - it didn't cool anything off, but it should help my garden along. Hope to pick my first cucumber next week. I've picked a few jalepenos already.
