Man, it is quiet around here!

[KitchenWitch]

My husband is in California, will be interviewing for jobs, and will not be back until Thursday!

I miss him a lot. :cry:

[SeattleGirl]

1. Poor baby.

I'm sorry. I know this isn't a good substitute, but here: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

5. Thank you hon!

Your hugs do help!

Congrats to your Mariners!

[SeattleGirl]

14. You're welcome.

Here's some more, for good measure: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

And, tonight was a long game, but my boys got it done!

[KitchenWitch]

16. Cool!

The Twins have won 4 in a row now! :woohoo: They beat the White Pox twice!

[SeattleGirl]

18. Hooray Twins!

You must be a happy girl about that! Woohoo indeed!

[KitchenWitch]

20. Yes I am!

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. Can we not talk baseball?

Dodgers took a 5-2 lead into the ninth against the Giants, and Baez — the fuckin' closer — horked up four runs. :grr:

[SeattleGirl]

32. Um, I know about blown saves!

Our closer, "Everyday" Eddie Guardado, blew 3 out of 4 saves. He's coming back, but man!

[KitchenWitch]

36. I love "Everyday Eddie"

but my heart does not miss the cardio workout received by watching him save games!

I know he was unhappy in Seattle for awhile, has he gotten happier there?

[SeattleGirl]

38. Oh yeah, he's definitely a member of the "Cardiac Kids" Club!

But I love it when he gets the save -- his emotions are so out there!

[KitchenWitch]

39. I love him as a person and a player!

My son has an autographed baseball (that I stood in line for). He was very personable when he was signing things. Not everyone is.

[SeattleGirl]

43. Eddie is a great guy!

And a hell of a practical joker! I love him!

[Oeditpus Rex]

42. This was Baez's fifth

He was smokin' through most of April and I was all, "Gagne who?" But it looks like they're figuring him out.

[KitchenWitch]

33. I saw that on Sportscenter!

:grr:

When I move to SoCal, I would love to do an outing to a Dodger game.

[Oeditpus Rex]

44. Dodgers?

Not the Angels? :shrug:

I mean, you'll be in OC...

[KitchenWitch]

47. Oh, I will go see the LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

especially when the Twins are in town, but I like Dodger Stadium too.

[Oeditpus Rex]

48. You left out an 'A'

It ain't like spellin' "Rabrrrrr." :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

49. No shit.

[In_The_Wind]

2. Awww ~ KW

We'll help the time pass more quickly.

[KitchenWitch]

6. I know you will

:yourock:

Thanks for your friendship!

[In_The_Wind]

9. I'm almost always around when someone needs a hug.

Have you started sorting stuff for your move yet?

[KitchenWitch]

11. Oh yeah!

The "Goodwill" pile is getting larger and larger!

[In_The_Wind]

19. I love doing that. It feels good to pass on the stuff I can't use anymore.

I've been talking about getting rid of all the clothes I wore when I was working for someone else. It's just in my way but it's too good to toss in the trash.

[KitchenWitch]

21. Exactly.

If someone can get use out of what I can no longer use, hey, all the better!

[In_The_Wind]

22. I would rather give it away than do a yard sale.

We have several options here. There are small places like The Well and Family in addition to Salvation Army. We also have several consignment shops that will pass on unsold goods to the women's shelter.

I was really surprised when a Good Will Industry moved into town recently.

[KitchenWitch]

23. I love giving to Goodwill because they do so much for

people with disabilities, which is a cause very close to my heart.

[In_The_Wind]

28. I'll keep that in mind on my next trip out with things.

The only time I donate to the Salvation Army is when the smaller places are full. I must add that I've found a few great tweed and herringbone jackets at Sally's. :)

Family recycles without charge but The Well seems to serve a larger population of people who truly need help so I usually drop off there first. I've been in a mood to clear out everything that I really don't need becauseI'm going to be away from home for most of the next 4 months and I do have a tendency to collect stuff along the way.

[leftstreet]

3. You need to go to GD

Spread your wisdom

(Get the crap beat outta ya)

:hi: :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

4. LOL

I think I will pass on that today!

[reformedrepub]

7. heres a bottle

of whatever you want..crank up your tunes and make a lot of noise!!!

[KitchenWitch]

8. Thanks!

I won't crank the tunes too high, might wake the children!

:hi:

[reformedrepub]

10. why not

Its saturday night/sunday morn, let them dance with ya. Happy Mothers Day!!

[KitchenWitch]

12. Thank you!

I will dance with my children during the daylight hours!

[reformedrepub]

15. LOL

I hope mine let me sleep in the morn, thats after I make my wife breakfast!!!

[tavalon]

13. Go over to GD

It's hot, hot, hot over there! I was in a fun little conversation about whether Luskin is an ordinary private citizen or a hired mercenary scumbag and the thread got locked before I got to reply. (okay, before I got to reply for the fifth time).

It was actually fun.

Sorry about your husband being away. Where in California is he job hunting?

[KitchenWitch]

17. Orange County

[tavalon]

26. Oh great Goddess!!!

I don't know whether to hope he gets the job or that you are both spared.

In the event that he does get the job, you do understand that you will need suburban rethug camo clothes, right? Just imagine the dress of the Stepford Wives in the first movie.

So, should I be hoping for the job or hoping against it?

Orange County is the Scariest Place on Earth (right next to the Happiest Place on Earth. How weird is that?!)

I live in Travis County (Austin), TX and we have often joked that the two counties were moved by extraterrestrials, liberal Travis to Red Texas and conservative Orange County to Blue California.

[KitchenWitch]

27. LOL

That is funny!

I have done some exploring, there are pockets of blue in Orange County. And it is close enough to Los Angeles County, if I really need to get among my own kind of people!

:hi:

[tavalon]

35. Yeah, there are actually encroaching bits of red here too

But we are moving to Seattle in about 2 weeks so it won't be a problem anymore.

[Robeson]

24. I was here a little bit earlier, but it was the Dead Zone, so I traveled..

...elsewhere. At least we can wait around to hear the reports out of mini-camp!

[KitchenWitch]

25. Very true

Have I said today how much more I like Zygi than Red?

[Robeson]

30. I hear you. At least for the first time, in a l-o-n-g time, we seem....

...to have a system we're trying to instill. That's more than can be said about the helter skelter Tice tenure, or the merry-go-round that was Green.

[Wetzelbill]

31. well, you always have us

:)

[KitchenWitch]

34. Yes

But there are certain things you all cannot do for me! :evilgrin:

[Wetzelbill]

37. normally I would

make a suggestive comment here, however, I have turned over a new leaf. A tall, sexy leaf. :)

[KitchenWitch]

41. ROFLMFAO

:spray:

[Wetzelbill]

45. I know I know

always the jokes about height. :)

[billyskank]
