Next two weeks will be short weeks for me. Eastern is coming up. Good Friday and Easter Monday are holidays in Germany :D

1. Good morning/afternoon MissH

Yay! It's friday. And it is supposed to be 60 today in my neck of the woods.
Nice picture :hi: :hug: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Good morning Sky

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

The weather is gorgeous here. I love it. Might leave a bit early so that I can enjoy the sun on my balcony. But for now it is lunch break and you can bet your ass that I will go outside now too :D

[Sky Masterson]

3. Soon as it warms up here I am going for a nice long walk

Tomorrow the high is 15-20 degrees lower. I wish mother nature wasn't so fickle and could make up her mind :mad: :)

4. Good morning MissHoneychurch !

You seem to have a lot of energy today !!!

Can you send me some ? :)

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Good morning jeff

:hi: :hug:

Sure!! ~~~ENERGY for jeff30997~~~

Here is a perfect example what to do today :)

[malta blue]

5. Good morning!

:hi::loveya:

How nice to have short weeks! They are my favorite:D

I am hoping next week goes by very quickly...

:bounce::woohoo: 8 days :bounce::woohoo:

Yesterday my asthma kicked up - a sure sign that spring is coming. I ended up leaving work and coming home to medicate because I had to use my inhaler three times in an hour at work :scared:

Any plans for the weekend?

I am taking little mb to the high school play - Grease Jr.

We will also see ex DUer Distressed American and his family either tonight or tomorrow (depending on how his baby feels - she was sick)

And this time I hope the days go by quickly ... That gets me closer to next weekend :evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

9. Good morning malta

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Only 8 days?? Those will pass by fast!!!

Is little mb playing in the play?

[malta blue]

12. 8 days!!!

:bounce::bounce:

No, little mb is not in the play, but she is a big Grease fan, and the high school is a couple of blocks away, so no reason to miss it :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

14. How long is P staying?

so that I know when to call you again :evilgrin:

[malta blue]

17. He will be here 11-15th.

Leaves on the Wednesday morning. ;-)

[MissHoneychurch]

20. I'd say

Wednesday evening is a wonderful time to have a chat on the phone :D

[malta blue]

30. Yes!

I will look forward to it!

[Callalily]

6. Good morning MissH!

I too am glad it's Friday. I'm sure today will go fast, or at least I'm hoping it'll go fast.

Glad to hear that you have some short weeks coming up. It's always nice to have extended weekends. They are great for rejuvenating.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Good morning Callalily

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Are you getting off early today? :)

4 days work, 4 days weekend, 4 days work. That I like a lot :D

[Callalily]

22. Taking off early?

No, and actually, I'm staying a half hour later than usual. But, I am keeping track of my time, and somewhere along the line I'll take some comp time. I'm also thinking about taking next Friday off as a vacation day. We do not get any Easter holiday break, and you inspired me to seek a long weekend.

Oh, and I do like your upcoming work schedule. That's the way it should be all of the time!

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

27. I remember you saying

Wednesday that you will try to get off early today. Sorry to hear that you even have to work longer. That sucks on a Friday.

I agree with you. Weeks like that should be an obligation :D

What have you planned for the weekend?

[Callalily]

29. Well, I'm actually staying

a half hour later for selfish purposes. A colleague who gets off at 5:00 p.m. (I get off at 4:30) well, we're going for a drink and then an art lecture, so actually, I'm just hanging around work waiting for her.

Going out to dinner with friends tomorrow for my birthday, which is Sunday. Should be fun.

[MissHoneychurch]

31. Ohhhh

that sounds fantastic!!!

And your b.day is coming up. Now that is a good reason to celebrate :party:

[Callalily]

33. The lectures are always

informative and also enhances the gallery tour.

Yes, tomorrow evening should be fun. Good group, so I know we'll have a blast.

Well, I've got to head out for work now.

Wishing you a good day, and a great weekend.

:hug:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

7. Good Morning MissHoneychurch :)

Happy Friday!! :hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

My company doesn't close for either if I remember correctly. Cheap bastids. :rofl:

Slept in a little, so I can stay up a bit later tonight.

Hope youe weekend's a great one!!

[MissHoneychurch]

11. Good morning SCE

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Happy Friday to you too!!!

So you have to work over Eastern? :hug:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

13. Yep, unless I mysteriously take ill.

And I'd never do such a thing. :halo:

[MissHoneychurch]

15. Of course not

those are mental health days :D

[SalmonChantedEvening]

19. And 365 of those a year still aren't enough

:rofl:

See you Monday!! :hi:

[AirmensMom]

16. Good morning, MissHC!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Wow, what a great pic! :bounce:

TGIF! Andrew is still upstairs getting dressed. He sure is wearing me out!

C did show up yesterday, but he has to get some stuff done today and might not be here ... or might come later. :shrug:


Hmmmm .... what else? We're meeting harleykid for supper. And maybe I'll get some rest tomorrow while harleydad does something with Andrew? :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

18. Good morning AirmensMom

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Please say hello to harleykid from me!!!

I am sure Andrew could help harleydad with the barn :D

And admit it, even though he is wearing you out, you are happy to see him.

[AirmensMom]

21. I'll do that!

:hug:

Oh, yes, and he can do the garbage run, too. I've already done three Lowe's projects with him.

No question about it. I just wish I had more energy. He gets more interesting all the time.

[blueknight]

24. good morning miss honey

:hi: its rainy here today, but supposed to clear up soon! hope you have a great weekend.

[MissHoneychurch]

26. Good morning blueknight

:hi: :hug:

I will enjoy my weekend in the sun on my balcony with a good book :D

Do you have any plans for the weekend?

[blueknight]

36. not a whole lot!

work out in my yard some, hopefully my son will bring over my little grand daughter for a visit:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

37. Sounds like a great weekend

esp when your granddaughter comes over. How old is she?

[Callalily]

23. Good morning AirmensMom!

Sounds like you have been busy, and actually continue to be busy.

So where are you and Harleydad going out for dinner? Any special cuisine?

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[AirmensMom]

25. Good morning, Misslily!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Swamped is more like it. But it's all good. :fistbump:

Steakhouse of some sort ... Logans? Andrew is familiar with it, but I'm not. We let the kids pick it out. Normally we'd go to Olive Garden. :rofl:

[Callalily]

28. It's good to be swamped, and think

of all that you are accomplishing. That's very rewarding.

A steakhouse sounds good. I rarely eat meat anymore (not intentionally, just happens that way), so when I do, it's kind of a treat. I'm going out with friends tomorrow (not sure where) for my birthday.

Hey, nothing wrong with Olive Garden! As a matter of fact, I'm trying to win their trip to Italy. :rofl: http://www.olivegarden.com/default_f.asp I'll be sure to send pics. ;)

[AirmensMom]

42. Very true!

Tomorrow's your birthday? Happy Birthday! :party: :hug: I hope you have a nice time with your friends. :grouphug:

I actually like Olive Garden. Their Italian Margarita rocks! :9

Can't wait for the pics! Do you need a traveling partner? :D

[blueraven95]

34. Good Morning, AirmensMom!

:hug:

Let C know we are thinking good thoughts for him!

[AirmensMom]

45. Good morning, blueraven!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I will do that. Thank you. He's not here at the moment ... had to do something. :grouphug:

[blueraven95]

47. ...

:hug:


Any good plans for the weekend?

[AirmensMom]

48. Nope.

Not sure how long Andrew (that's the screen name he selected) will be here. His mom is coming either tomorrow or Sunday to take him home. Tonight we're having dinner with harleykid, our other daughter, and her husband. I'm hoping to rest a little at some point.

How 'bout you? :hug:

[blueraven95]

49. I'm having a quiet weekend

I think my parents and sister are coming over for dinner one night, but that's about it in terms of firm plans. I'm going to try to go to the movies, to see Sunshine Cleaning.

[AirmensMom]

56. That sounds nice.

I'm enjoying just sitting here with Andrew (he's playing a video game). I haven't done this in such a long time!

Hmmm ... don't know that movie. I hope you get to see it! :bounce:

[blueraven95]

58. sounds like fun

it must be nice just sitting, after all the work you've been doing!


I wanted to go see the movie last weekend, but I didn't have time. I think I'll be able to get out there tomorrow. :D

[AirmensMom]

61. Well, not JUST sitting.

Doing a little paperwork, but mostly fun stuff. Just ordered a new camera. :bounce:

Cool! I hope you enjoy it. :hug:

[blueraven95]

62. ooo, a new camera!

what kind?

[AirmensMom]

65. A new Canon Elph

This one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001SER48I

Mine broke a month or so back so I wanted to wait till this one came out. I've been using a 7-year-old one that is threatening to break. I really need one these days, for documentation.

Just ordered cat food, too. One more place to order from and I'll be finished with the shopping.

[blueraven95]

67. I like it

Canon makes some good point and shoots...


Wish I could be shopping... :)

[AirmensMom]

69. Yes, they do.

And I like the software that comes with it, too.

Basically, I HAD to buy it.:shrug:

[blueraven95]

73. absolutely

you need a camera. no question.

[AirmensMom]

76. I always get a little nervous

after I've placed the order. Did I choose wisely? Is this the one that will get me through to the end? Will it take good pictures?

Then I get it and am happy. :shrug: I'm weird.

[blueraven95]

80. I'm the same way

big purchases in particular make me a nervous wreck.

[AirmensMom]

81. Funny thing is

we've had some rather big expenses and this isn't much in comparison ... but it's something I'm not likely to return if I'm not happy with it. Makes little sense, actually. I'd take a light fixture back in a New York minute if I simply changed my mind.

[blueraven95]

83. that's funny.

I'm big on returning things if they aren't right. The problem with anything electronic, though, is it's often hard to tell if it's right without destroying the packaging.

[blueraven95]

32. Good Afternoon, Miss H!

Next week will be short for me too. I have an all day class on Tuesday (it will be boring, but at least I won't be working) and then I have a day off next Friday. :woohoo:


I'm so glad today is Friday. I'm really looking forward to the weekend, even if I don't have any super exciting plans. :)


:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

35. Good morning blueraven

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Short weeks are fun :) And your week is even shorter, only 3 days of work.

I just checked my calender. All of April are short weeks. Thursday, April 24th I am going to a meet-up (work related) out of town, might even take Friday off. And on April 30th (Thursday too) I go to anothter work related meet-up in Frnakfurt. And May 1st is a holiday again :D

[blueraven95]

38. Geez.

You are lucky!

[MissHoneychurch]

39. Yup

:D

The next couple months have some nice holidays :D

In May we have Whitsun. Some religious holidays are fairly useful :D

[blueraven95]

40. our next holiday

is commencement (which is not really a holiday, but we get off :)) and memorial day. Together, with one vacation day, it turns into a 5 day weekend. :D but it's not until the end of next month.

[MissHoneychurch]

44. We don't have Memorial Day

but I sure don't complain about our holidays :D

So tomorrow you have class again? Any infos on your paper yet?

[blueraven95]

46. no class tomorrow

:woohoo: I get to sleep in.

I haven't heard about my paper yet. If I don't hear from her tomorrow, I'll email her.

[MissHoneychurch]

51. Oh goodie!!!

now the only problem is for me, that I keep waking up early. I am not able to really sleep in anymore. 10am is the latest.

[blueraven95]

55. I'd be happy with being able to sleep in to 10

that's what I'm hoping for! :D

[MissHoneychurch]

57. Then I wish you the best for it

going to bed late helps :D

[blueraven95]

59. Yes it does!

:D

[MissHoneychurch]

60. So what is your plan for tonight?

:evilgrin:

[blueraven95]

63. I have no idea.

I'm doing something though. Just not sure what. :D

What about you?

[MissHoneychurch]

64. Nothing for tonight

This weekend I just want to sit on my balcony in the sun and read my book. :D

[blueraven95]

68. sounds like a good plan -

I think we talked about it earlier in the week.

It's raining here now, and it's supposed to be windy and cloudy all weekend, so I probably will not be enjoying my porch.

[MissHoneychurch]

70. Yes we talked about it already

I like to repeat myself :eyes:

Well, it is almost time for me to start my weekend.

I wish you a wonderful weekend and we talk Monday again.

:loveya:

[blueraven95]

74. Have a great weekend!!!

:hug:

[Blue_Tires]

41. Happy Friday...

who are the statues?

[MissHoneychurch]

43. Good morning Blue_Tires

:hi: :hug:

They are the apostles. Which ones I don't know though. Here are a couple more pics of the statues

[Droopy]

50. Good Morning Miss H

Not a whole lot new going on in the life of Droopy, but there is a nice woman I've been talking to. I think I told you about her. There's a problem, though. She doesn't feel comfortable with me enough to go beyond e-mail. I just sent the 30th e-mail between us to her. I can understand feeling uncomfortable, but this is starting to become silly. What do you think I can do to make her feel more comfortable?

[MissHoneychurch]

52. Good morning Droopy

:hi: :hug:

She isn't even comfy with talking on the phone with you? That would be really strange. I'd say after over 30 emails back and forth it is a good time to make the next step and talk on the phone. Maybe you could give her your number and she can call you.
No pressure from your side is the most important thing.

I talked to two guys on a dating site. The moment they saw my pics (I have to allow it for them to see it and vice versa) they stopped writing. It so sucks. But it is their loss.

[Droopy]

53. I've had people do that to me, too

I like the way you look Miss H and if I saw you on my dating site I'd send you a message. :hug: I think your suggestion is a good one. I will try it right now.

[MissHoneychurch]

54. Thank you Droopy

for German men I guess I am too overweight already :eyes:

Good luck Droopy and keep me updated :)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

66. Good Morning MissHc --

TGIF :bounce: :bounce:

It has been another long, horrible week where I work. So bad, that instead of going out of town this coming week, I will stay in town and put in applications for a job at another Facility. I just can not take it any more and besides this place does not pay enough.

[MissHoneychurch]

71. Good morning Tuesday

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Good that you showed up before I leave. Which will be any minute now.

I am sending ~~~VIBES~~~ over to you that you will find another job!!!!

Have a wonderful and successful weekend!!!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

77. Thanks and Have a wonderful, relaxing weekend...

How is the toe, by the way?

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

75. Hi Tuesday!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I'm so sorry you had a bad week. :hug:

TGIF for you! :bounce:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

78. Hello AM --

I thought maybe you would be off line by now. :hug:

Did you see my post to MissHc?

I am going to have to give up on the trip. :(

[AirmensMom]

79. I usually am.

But the guys aren't here this morning so I'm taking it easy.

I saw that and I'm really bummed about it ... but I understand. :hug: I hope you find something better.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

82. It is really bumming me too.

This past week has been the final straw. Management at this place is beyond the pale.

I will let you know if anything changes. :hug:

[AirmensMom]

84. I hope it does change.

Listening to harleykid, I have little confidence in any management. :(

Maybe at least you can relax for the weekend. :hug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

85. I am going to do my regular stuff, and do my taxes and

take some photos with my new camera :D What about you guys? Any plans?

Management skills in our country at any level be it government or private sector leave a lot to be desired.

[AirmensMom]

86. Going out tonight

for dinner with harleykid. We have our grandson with us this week. Not sure when his mom is coming for him, but it'll be tomorrow or Sunday.

Other than that, maybe we'll rest a little.

Harleykid was telling me recently that her management is telling everyone how they're watching them and counting mistakes ... lots of people out there would love to have those jobs, etc. Obviously, they never heard that people make more mistakes when they're nervous and afraid of losing their jobs. :eyes:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

87. They all do that now...and raises are based on yearly evaluations.

No one ever measures up to get the maximum 3% :eyes:

[AirmensMom]

88. They still give raises?

:wow:

And even a "maximum of 3%" sounds a bit on the cheap side.

[bigwillq]

72. Morning!

Have a great weekend! :) :hi:
