Gooood Morning DU!

[BlondieK143]

:donut: How is everyone this morning? It's a Monday, that's all to say I suppose. How was your weekend? Mine was good, WAY too short! Have a great day! :hug:

[thedailyshow]

1. I had a wild weekend, and a bitchy Sunday working on my paper

which I finished just now. I have another paper to write that's due tomorrow. Mondays equals a case of the "bleaaaghs" for me.

[BlondieK143]

2. That sounds so unbelievably fun.

So you put partying first before working on your paper? :D hehe

[thedailyshow]

4. what else is college for?

:evilgrin:

[BlondieK143]

8. let's see..

partying, drinking, girls/guys... yep, think you got it covered.

[thedailyshow]

20. oh, and pot smoking too

:evilgrin:

[BlondieK143]

21. Oh yeah!

How could I leave THAT one out? *smacks forehead* I personally can't smoke the stuff, I get sick.

[thedailyshow]

23. that pot-smoking bit gave me a really weird dream

in which I dreamt that I was in a rather austere house that was haunted. I had to drive in Indian gurus from India so that they could chant some spells to get rid of the evil spirits in the house.

[BlondieK143]

25. Are you serious?

I've heard some weird dreams before, that almost makes it to the top!

[thedailyshow]

29. yep, dead serious

That's the last time I smoke pot.

[BlondieK143]

31. Uh, yeah.

I can't say as though I blame you! Don't you have some sleeping to attend to? :)

[thedailyshow]

63. nope, gotta attend class in one hour

and print out my paper, and then go to my afternoon class, get started on my islam paper, and then it's nighty-night for me.

[BlondieK143]

66. How are you staying awake?

Lots of smoking and caffeine?

[thedailyshow]

86. lots of caffeine and stubborn will-power

[BlondieK143]

89. Well, good luck!

And try not to work yourself into oblivion!! :D

[thedailyshow]

105. thanks!

:-)

[Flammable Materials]

54. I've got some recipes, if smoking doesn't work for you.

Cooking with it is fun, too.

:evilgrin:

[BlondieK143]

56. Really?

Hrm. Sounds interesting...

[blueknight]

5. good morning blondie

i had a great weekend! my son came home from college for the first time in 11 weeks, we did a movie, and just chilled!

[BlondieK143]

10. Awesome!

Glad he got to spend some time with you!

[Jasper 91]

6. Hi all.

I'd never noticed before that Jon Stewart had such sexy eyes. Yum yum.:9

[BlondieK143]

11. He IS sexy!

His intelligence makes me want to hop on that!

[thedailyshow]

16. In my humble opinion, Jon Stewart is a hotness magnet

:grin: C'mon, what reasonable human being can't resist someone like Jon Stewart?

[lakemonster11]

49. I love the video with the pizza.

When I first saw that on the Daily Show I just about fell out of my chair. Hilarious AND sexy. ;)

[thedailyshow]

62. thanks! nothing like hot straight guy love!

shared through a pizza, of course.

[Itascapark]

3. GOOD MORNING!!!!

But...it's still so dark and cold here:scared: The sun is not up yet...Yikes!!

[BlondieK143]

12. No kidding!

I had like two inches of frost on the window this morning!

[Guaranteed]

7. Awww BlondieK!

Great to see ya.

I'm supposed to be doing homework or sleeping right now, but I'm screwing around instead. Which is dumb, because I'm bored anyway.

Give me a reason to procrastinate!

[BlondieK143]

13. Hey there!

It's good to see you as well!

HEy! :spank: If you don't go do something productive, I'll have to spank again damnit!

:D

[Guaranteed]

15. (sigh)....but....being productive sucks.

Arggh......alright, one more smoke then I'm gettin down to bidness.

[BlondieK143]

17. Riiight.

Am I supposed to believe that one? :D hehe

[Champ]

9. Good Morning!!!

How are you doing? This month has been pure craziness for me, but I'll live. :hi:

[BlondieK143]

14. I DEFINITELY know how that is!

I picked up a second job, so I feel ya! :hug: How are ya doing? I'm... cold. :)

[Guaranteed]

18. LOL I'm sitting here with the windows open for smokin'

in my bare feet.

[BlondieK143]

19. ARE YOU CRAZY?!?

When you get sick, I don't want to hear any complaining!

[Guaranteed]

22. Well, that's what some people say.

Yeah, I never close the windows in this room. It's the smokin' room. Must be thirty degrees out, too. Heater's on, though LOL

[BlondieK143]

24. and that makes it better?

:) Damn, I walked outside this morning and thought parts of me were going to fall off! Hey, you're up north! Gonna visit when I come to Boston in Jan.?

[Guaranteed]

27. Do they have smoking rooms with heaters in Boston?

Not that it helps all that much here....

You know, I think the smoke keeps me from getting sick, though....

[BlondieK143]

30. Maybe?

I'm sure they do. I mean, it's Boston. And it's freezing there. :D

[Champ]

35. Wow

By the time I finished replying to the 14th post in this thread, it gets 35! :wow:

[BlondieK143]

37. My bad.

:D

[Champ]

48. It's ok

I should be used to it by now seeing how most of your threads just rack up replies in seconds.

on edit: Look now 48 :D

[BlondieK143]

51. LOL

It's because such great people are awake in the mornings!

[Champ]

59. Isn't that always true?

But here at DU you can find great people at any time of day :)

[BlondieK143]

60. Amen!

:D We're the best!

[Champ]

79. 80 replies

C'mon 20 more! :bounce:

[BlondieK143]

80. dork!

:) I mean that in the nicest way possible!

[Champ]

82. LOL

I know I am, strange things amuse me :)

[Champ]

34. Well...

Aside from my g/f's life almost in jeopardy earlier this month and her roomate driving her up the wall, life has been ok. Hopefully I will be getting a 2nd job, I got an interview this week for an administrative assistant job in Tempe. About $10-$12/ph. I really have been dealing with alot, but not nearly as much as my g/f. I'm cold too :scared:

[BlondieK143]

36. Wow, you've been busy!

Glad to hear that things are still going well with the girlfriend! That's great to hear! Hope she works out all the bad crap that's going on with her right now. And good luck on the second job! Just don't work yourself too hard.

[Champ]

46. I won't work too hard

I hope it's as fun as officiating Junior High Intramural Sports. I will be doing Flag Football later this month, but there is a required training I have to show up to on her b-day. :evilfrown: Man I hope so too, her roomate kicked her out Friday night and still has yet to get her stuff back. She is over at a neighbor's and there fixing to get that later today. Do you still have that same job you have and what is your other job?

[BlondieK143]

52. That sucks!

Did her and her roommate have a lease together? If so, she can't kick her out! That blows majorly! Anyway you two can spend the early part of the day together then you go to training?

I'm still working at the one place and now I'm a server at one of the finer resteraunts in my area. :)

[Champ]

57. Cool! That seems like a fun job

No, she just paid part of her rent. Her roomate isn't actually on the lease either, her boyfriend(Who is actually a married man who comes to see time-to-time, not very often) is actually on the lease. Her boyfriend pays about half the rent, she pays her share and when my g/f moved in she begin paying her share. I was thinking about that, spending the early part of the day, going to training and seeing a movie. Quite a few premiere on her birthday.

[BlondieK143]

58. That sucks!

But everything happens for a reason. I'm sure she'll find a place to live, just tell her to take one day at a time.

[Champ]

61. That sounds like a good advice - 1 day at a time

I surely believe it has happened for a good reason, living there was not good for her especially considering what happened earlier this month. She is with some good people at this point.

[BlondieK143]

64. Just be there for her.

Does she work?

[Champ]

68. Believe me I will

She used to have a part time job but she gets SSI every month.

[BlondieK143]

69. Oh, I see.

Where are you working at??

[Champ]

70. City of Mesa: Parks and Recreation

I Officiate intramural basketball, fl. football, volleyball, and I will be doing Soccer tournament this Friday. It's not very much which is why I'm trying to get this 2nd job, but I love doing it. :)

[BlondieK143]

71. That's the important thing!

It's good to find a job doing something you really like! Glad to hear about you finally getting one. :) hehe. How's the car situation?

[Champ]

72. Definately

I started out doing basketball and threw my first few games I kept hearing parents, coaches, and players complaining throughout the whole game. After awhile complaints started to die down and the 2nd to last game I even got complements from the parents who were watching the game! I do pride myself doing a good job even though others may look at it as kid stuff. :) The car situation I can't do much about since I can't drive til I turn 18 which is IN 14 DAYS!! :bounce:

[BlondieK143]

74. Happy early birthday!

I have a terrible memory, so I'll just say it in advance! Why can't you drive until you turn 18? I'm confused. lol. I feel old! I turned 19 three weeks ago.

That's great! It's really nice when people pay attention to how good of a job you're doing.

[Champ]

76. Thanks!

What are you going to get me? :D
Got my license suspended til I turn 18, what happened is when I was 14(almost 15) there were kids smoking cigarettes in the parking lot, I went out there to see if my old friend was there but he already took off in his truck. The assistant principal and the athletic director and told us all not to move, they searched my bag and found a piece of resinated tin foil. Thing is I didn't know I had it, it must've been in my bag(I had alot of junk in my bag) for months. So they offered me a plea bargain, plead guilty and be charged with a misdemeanor but have my license suspended. Or be charged with a felony but able to get a license. Anyways it was a looong time ago :)

[BlondieK143]

77. That sucks ass!

How come I've never heard that story before? lol.

And the same thing you got me - NADA!

[Champ]

78. Ah Sorry!

When was your b-day? October right? I have no idea, it is not something I try to remember though. That wasn't the worst of things actually(this was when I was living with my grandma), Because of that got suspended off the F-ball team for the rest of the year(only 2 games left), my grandpa didn't like me living there after that so I moved when the semester was over with. Also never got to see my first g/f(who really changed my entire outlook on life, basically changed my life) after that which sucked but I'm over it now. Another thing, as the Assistant Principal was searching me he pulled out a note she wrote me and kept it! :mad: But it is interesting how something like that can change your life just like that.

[BlondieK143]

81. Yeah, life's crazy.

I fully believe that people are meant to be in our lives for a certain amount of time and for certain reasons. I TRY not to guess why or how long they'll be there but it's sometimes hard. It's hard to fully comprehend the impact someone will have on your life until they are no longer in it. But hey, you're a better person because of things that have happened in the past.

[Champ]

85. I completely see what you're saying

I do feel like I'm a better person because of it, that time I spent in Flagstaff with my grandparents seemed like the only time in my life everything seemed PERFECT. Then when I lost all that, moved back down here started feeling real depressed y'know? It started affecting my performance in school and things just seemed to continuinly to get harder. But bounced back and I feel like I'm a stronger person because of it.

[BlondieK143]

88. Trust me, I know all too well what you mean.

I was in a lot of the same predicaments you were. I had moved out of my mom's house in 8th grade and in with my grandparents. That was the happiest time of my life, 4 and a half years. I had the greatest friends and everything seemed to be fine. But some shit happened and it was too hard on my grandparents to deal with a bitchy teenager so I had to move back in with my mom. Then I went through a really bad depression and didn't do well at the new school. ANYWAY. I know what you mean and I'm always here for you.

[Champ]

96. Yeah pretty much

I don't know anyone who has even a remotely similar story as mine as you do, that is why I know you know what I mean as I know what you mean and I'm always here for you as well. :pals:
So what's on the agenda for you today?

[BlondieK143]

98. MUAH!

I've actually got to head out of here in a few posts. But what do you have going on today?

I'm leaving this job in about 20 minutes, running some errands, getting a massage (WOO HOO!), then I have to be at my other job at 5. I could possibly have a date after that, but we'll see.

[Champ]

100. Umm...

Probaly sleep for a few hours in a minute, got loaded up on caffeine last night. Big mistake :hungover: Head over to where my g/f is at and keep her company, maybe call some numbers from the employment guide in case interview doesn't go well. Hope all goes well today, and good luck on that possible date. :thumbsup:

[Champ]

101. Hahaha YES!

I got the 100th post in this thread :bounce:

[BlondieK143]

102. Awesome!

Thank you very much! and have a great day! Hug the gf and tell her how much you appreciate her in your life, it'll make her feel great! :D Bye dear!

[Champ]

104. Thanks! Will do!

Cya later :hi:

[tsakshaug]

43. it was cold

But no wind, sun was out.
It was just above freezing

[BlondieK143]

I'm jealous! How long did you guys hike?

[tsakshaug]

RI hike was 15 min, Conn was 3 hours up and back

[Brewman_Jax]

65. G'day, Blondie!

:hi: You made it thru' the weekend!

How are you this frosty morning? :hug: I was scouring my car for a scraper this morning, and I don't know what I did with them. Well, at least they're about $1 at the auto store.

[BlondieK143]

67. Hey you!

I'm good, just cold as HELL! I'm going to have to invest in a scraper as well. Much easier than waiting 5 minutes for the car to defrost! How cold is it there?

[Brewman_Jax]

73. A nice frosty

37F here, cold enough for the heat to turn on. Had to break out the acrylic top blanket.

[BlondieK143]

75. Oh! Don't talk about blankets!

That makes me want to crawl back into bed! Don't ya hate it when you're so nice and snuggled in of the morning then the damn alarm starts going off? Grrr! And just think.. it's not even winter yet!

[Brewman_Jax]

83. Tell me about it!

I woke up early 'cause I was afraid I overslept. I didn't. How's the week looking?

[BlondieK143]

84. Very, very long!

I have both jobs to do this week. Plus, I've got to work on planning my January trip, taking my sisters out for their birthdays (nine days apart, 2 years apart), trying to plan Thanksgiving, and sleeping sometime in between.

How about you?

[Brewman_Jax]

87. Good luck!

Just working at work, I have to get some approval letters processed and field trials planned. Add to that seeing if I can break off some time and go on vacation, and not worrying about Thanksgiving.

[BlondieK143]

90. Where do you think you'll go?

On vacation that is? Do you all have big plans for T-Giving this year?

[Brewman_Jax]

91. To answer...

Vacation: New Orleans.

Thanksgiving: nothing. After the summer of my mother's illness and the "great" family support I got, I don't care about Thanksgiving.

[BlondieK143]

93. Awww, I'm so sorry!

New Orleans sounds like a blast!!

I'm sorry that things suck like that! You can always come have dinner with me and my family! We're up for extra people. Hang in there, okay? one of these days they'll realize how much of asses they were.

[Brewman_Jax]

95. Thanks for the invite

that's very kind of you.

I know too much about history, too, so I'm not overly thrilled.

Is this your long or short day?

[BlondieK143]

97. :)

No problem! :) Don't want you having to eat alone on that day. No one should have to, really.

It's a short day here, but I've got errands to run (and a massage!!) and then I have to be at the other place at 5. Oh joy. :D But thanks for stoping in this morning. You always put a smile on my face. :hug: Have a great day! And I know.....


No doughnut for me! :P Beat ya to it!

[Brewman_Jax]

99. Good one!

You beat me to it! :D Don't forget to workout this week.

Have fun! :hug:

[BlondieK143]

103. HA! lol

My serving job will be my workout!

Have fun! :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]
