Good morning Lounge

[MissHoneychurch]

How are you today? After the crazy day yesterday at work I hope it is more quiet today. I will see how it will go as the day emerges.

Today for lunch I will go out with a friend of mine. Looking forward to that. I guess when most of you guys read that it will be history already :)


Picture of the Day

[SalmonChantedEvening]

1. Good Morning MissHoneychurch :)

I hope lunch goes well, and that today isn't so hectic.

:hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

I finally got the sleep I needed, but that won't stop me from getting more tonight. The cold is working it's way out of my system. :woohoo:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Good morning SCE

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Good to hear that you are feeling better. I am afraid I will get a cold. I am more thirsty than usual ... always a sign for me that something is not alright.

The morning was quiet, fortunately. Who knows what the afternoon has "in petto" (not sure that is known in English - it means to have something up one's sleeve).

[malta blue]

3. Good morning!!!

Little mb just came to tell me she still does not feel well, but I can't take another day off. Plus she did not act that sick by the time yesterday was done. She will have to go to school today :(

I hope your lunch goes well and you have a great day!!!

:loveya::hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Good morning malta

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Just got back from my lunch. It was nice. We had a good chat and yummy food. I had breaded (deepfried) potato dumpling stuffed with mixed herb cream cheese and a brokkoli sauce :9

Sorry to hear that Little MB still doesn't feel too good. :hug:

[Callalily]

5. Good morning MissH!

Nothing like having a cow stare right in my face first thing in the morning. :rofl:

Going out for lunch is always a pleasant change. It's good to get away from the work place every now and then. I eat lunch at my desk and work through my lunch break far too often.

:hug: :hi: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Good morning Callalily

but it is a friendly face :rofl:

It was very pleasant. My friends works in the same building but we don't see each other often enough. She has her part to do, I have my part to do. But every now and then we catch each other and go out for lunch. She is coming to my housewarming party as well.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Callalily]

8. Actually, going out

to lunch sounds very appealing. I still haven't made it to the grocery store and I think I'm down to my last can of soup. ;) But, I may just swim during my lunch break.

And yes, your cow looks friendly, but remember, I'm from Wisconsin, and cows can be mean.

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

12. Ohh ....

you wanna shame me now, do you? With telling me you will go swimming during lunch. OK, OK, my bad conscience is speaking loud to me right now :hide:

Well, that was a Black Forest cow and she was friendly :D

[Callalily]

32. Sorry, I meant no harm.

Gotta head out to work. Wishing you a great day.

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

35. Have a great day too

btw, no harm is done. I am pretty good in ignoring my conscience when it comes to sport :rofl:

:hug:

[nomorenomore08]

7. I can't say good morning 'cause I haven't gone to bed yet.

(As of 3:59 AM Pacific).

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Well, I wish you a good morning anyway

:hug: and also a good night in case you decide to go to bed. :hug:

[Road Scholar]

9. Good morning Ms. HC. Looks like Bessie has her favorite

earrings on.That's a good one of her. lol
Sounds like your day is going well. Today I have to round up some oysters for this weekend. I'll think about you when I make the shrimp cocktail Friday evening.

[MissHoneychurch]

11. Good morning Road Scholar

Looks like it, doesn't it? And she is showing it off :rofl:

Please eat a bite for me too ... while thinking of me :D

[Sky Masterson]

13. Good Afternoon MissH

I hope you enjoyed your lunch.
Oh and guess what..My Left big toe is broke.:cry:
I'm taking the day off so I can stay off of my feet.

[MissHoneychurch]

14. Good morning Sky

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

So sorry to hear your toe is broken :hug:

... I have a movie for you to watch ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG-fgcQymQY&feature=related :hide:


My lunch was very nice. I enjoyed it.

[Sky Masterson]

15. HA!

Very funny :mad: :rofl:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9d2Y1We-d0
Mr Heavyfoot
and thank you. :loveya: :hug: :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

16. Thought you would like it

:7

Can you take sick leave for more than today? The toe won't heal in just one day. :hug:

[Sky Masterson]

17. Nope. No sick leave

I have to go back tomorrow.
I'm just hoping that the swelling goes down enough so I could wear a shoe without to much pain.

[MissHoneychurch]

18. There is a solution for the shoe problem

it is called "Birkenstock" :D



What do you think I was wearing the whole time after my toe surgery.

[Sky Masterson]

19. You know what MissH

That is great advice. And worthy of my 100th post :D

[MissHoneychurch]

20. You are welcome

glad to be of service :D

[AirmensMom]

21. Good morning, MissHC!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Nice pic! :bounce: I love to look at cows ... as you know.

Have you gone to lunch? How was it?

[MissHoneychurch]

22. Good morning AirmensMom

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

You love to look at cows??? Why, I'd never .... !? :rofl:

Lunch was very nice. Good food, good company :D

How are you doing today?

[AirmensMom]

23. ...

:spray: Yeah, and we have some new babies. :loveya:

Good! Glad you had a nice lunch. That already makes today better than yesterday.

I'm fine ... nervous ... excited ...

Did you like your pics for today? :bounce: Simon tried extra hard this time. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

24. You do?

nice!!!!

He is too cute for words ... what can I say? He deserves some salmon I'd say :7

[AirmensMom]

25. Yep!

A couple black ones and a white one. I didn't see them get born, but I can tell they're new. They romp around like little puppies and it's SO cute!

He is too cute for words. And he has some birthdays to celebrate, so we'll be thawing the salmon soon. :bounce: Would you like us to save you some? :evilgrin:

Did you know that your birthday is the same day as my Siamese cat, Sesame's? :rofl: I say that every year. And Satchmo's is the next day, and Simon's is a few days after that. Party time! :party:

[MissHoneychurch]

27. So that means

it is kindergarden time again and bugging the bull to tell stories :rofl:

You are welcome to give my part to Simon :P

Yes, I know. You told me ... uh .... once or twice already :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

31. Yep, it means that.

:rofl:

Oh, my men are here ... I'll be in touch later. :hug: :hi:

[blueraven95]

30. Good Morning, AirmensMom!

I just sent you a PM :loveya:

[Callalily]

33. Morning AirmensMom!

Please do me a favor. When you're done with those men, send them my way. :rofl: Ahhhh, some women have all the fun. ;)

Just stopped by to say hello. I'm off to work, so wishing you a great day.

:hug: :hi: :loveya:

[blueraven95]

26. Good Afternoon, MissH!

I hope you had a good lunch.



I love cows - I don't know why, but I really do. They are so friendly looking.


:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

28. Good morning blueraven

I had a good lunch. It is always nice to spend it with friends.

I like brown cows more than black/white ones. And I love the Scotish Highland cows




:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[blueraven95]

29. wow, those are beautiful

I don't get to see cows much, being in the city. But, if I had a car, it would only be about a 30 minute drive to see some.


I had dinner with my mother last night - we went to a sewing store afterwards and looked at all the new patterns. I can't believe how ugly fashion is apparently going to be in the next couple of seasons. x(

[MissHoneychurch]

34. You know, when I was a kid

during one vacation we had rented a house near a field of cows. Everytime I passed them I would stop and "talk" to them. By "talk" I mean I called them by their number :rofl: They actually came over to the fence and got some grass from me ... like they didn't had enough of that already :rofl:

[blueraven95]

36. you had big animal friends

I probably would have done the same thing, if we had ever vacationed near cows. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

37. It must have been hilarious to watch

:rofl:

But all I remember is that it was fun to do. And I enjoyed it. Otherwise I wouldn't have done it :D


About the sewing patterns. Maybe it is time to find some patterns from the 60s or so. Isn't that fashion coming back?

[blueraven95]

38. I bet it was cute!

Did your parents take pictures?



Yeah, everything that was bad about the 60s and 70s are coming back - but none of the good. It's distressing. It's probably a good thing that I don't actually follow fashion in my own clothing. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

39. No, they didn't take pics of that

there are enough embarrassing pics of me as it is :rofl:

Are you sewing your own clothes?

[blueraven95]

40. I make some of my own clothes

as in, I can if I need to, but I don't really have the patience for it.

My mother is the real sewer, and I go to her when I want something that I can't find.


I do embroidery and I knit (but that's new, so I'm not that good at it yet). So I'm more crafty. The funny thing is, she can't figure out how I have enough patience to do embroidery because she thinks that needs way more patience - and I completely disagree. I think it's a different kind of patience.

[MissHoneychurch]

41. I am impressed

I learned to do embroidery as a teen but never had the patience to finish it really. I am way too hectic for that kind of stuff. Neither do I have the patience for knitting. BUT I am able to tend my clothes if a button gets lose :D

[blueraven95]

42. well, of all the hobbies I could have...

it's not exactly the coolest. :shrug:


But now that I've found European patterns and magazines, it's much more fun. In the US all of the embroidery patterns tend to be either religious or country (like embroidering pigs and cows and chickens), neither of which I wanted to do. England, in particular, has some of the coolest magazines out there, probably because they have a whole academy devoted to needlework. The magazines cost me a fortune, but it's worth it for the inspiration.

[MissHoneychurch]

51. Your other hobby is photography

and both hobbies are cool. :D

[blueraven95]

53. that is true

:D



plus I like to read, and I watch way more movies than I probably should. Clearly I have too many hobbies! :rofl:


So, are you doing anything fun during the rest of the week?

[MissHoneychurch]

55. Nah, those are just fine hobbies

one for each mood :D

Haven't planned much. Tomorrow I get a hair cut. It is more than necessary.

[blueraven95]

56. are you going to do anything different

or just a trim?

[MissHoneychurch]

57. Just trim it

don't have the money for color or streaks at the moment. It is expensive enough as it is.

[blueraven95]

58. yeah,

I only color mine at home - I only pay someone to cut it.

[MissHoneychurch]

61. I like to have streaks in my hair

and I get it done every now and then.

I used to color my hair red, but now I am fine again with my brown hair. Only thing I don't like that it is flat as flat can be. And whatever I try in the morning ... in the evening there is no volume in it anymore nor does it look good.

[blueraven95]

62. sounds like my hair.

it drives me crazy.




do you mind if I ask you a work question?

[MissHoneychurch]

63. Go ahead

ask

[blueraven95]

64. it's a work question on my end

and a Germany question on your end.

I have someone who will be spending a week in Germany next month, and he needs to go from Munich to Oberkochen, which looks like it is an almost 3 hour trip on the trains. Is there a faster way to go that locals know?

I don't know if you are anywhere near there in Germany, but I thought I would ask. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

66. Except he takes a car

and prays for no traffic jams the train is the fastest.

[blueraven95]

67. okay, I thought I'd ask.

I think it means 6 hours on the train for him in one day. I don't think he'll be happy. :shrug:



It drives me crazy to plan travel for all these different people and I can't go :(

[MissHoneychurch]

68. Here is the homepage of the Deutsche Bahn

it is in English here (I hope)

http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en?ld=212.207&seqnr=1&ident=7e.01310207.1234365465&rt=1&newrequest=yes&


You have to make sure that you are coming next time :)

[blueraven95]

69. well,

I tried to explain to them that anyone traveling to a foreign country is obligated to spend a certain amount of time sight-seeing, and since they would be spending all their time in meetings they should take me along to fill their "tourist" quota.

It didn't work.

:rofl:


thanks for the link!

[MissHoneychurch]

70. Oh absolutely!!!

everything else isn't acceptable. Tell them you will take pictures and then photoshop them in :rofl:

[blueraven95]

71. I'll even take video and use body doubles

so they can show their spouses. :rofl:


It drives me crazy that they will basically spend the whole time in hotels and conference rooms. What a waste.

[MissHoneychurch]

72. When my mom goes on business trips

she tries to squeeze in some tourist hours. Sometimes it actually works.

[blueraven95]

73. that's what I would do

if it were me traveling.

I know a couple who took a 2 day conference in China and made it a 1 1/2 week vacation. That makes sense, if you can do it.

[MissHoneychurch]

74. How about

you offer to sit in the meetings for them? And then stay over the weekend?

[blueraven95]

75. that could get funny

if they all had stand-ins go to the meetings for them. And of course, none of us would be technically trained so we'd make a big mess of things. It sounds like the start of a Marx Brothers movie. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

78. Darn it

:rofl:

The other day I read in the last minutes (is that correct?) that someone died and the funeral is in NYC. And that maybe some representative of our house should go there. No idea who that person is who died. I had to restrain myself from offering to go :hide:

[blueraven95]

80. well, if you do go, I'll come see you in NYC

I love New York.

:rofl:

I think the word you are looking for is "obituary", am I right? (Here's the definition: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/obituary)

[MissHoneychurch]

81. No I mean the papers

that are written during meetings and keep track of what is said.

I am afraid, I blew my chances by now ... no idea who is going though or IF someone is going or went (more likely)

[blueraven95]

82. oh, you mean the minutes.

that makes more sense :D


Oh well. Next time, volunteer right away, whether you knew the person or not. It would be easy to fake it once you were far away from the rest of your coworkers. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

83. And take pictures

of the funeral to prove I really went :rofl:

[blueraven95]

84. that could be fun

and morbid. Sounds like a good scene in a movie. :D


Alright, I gotta head out. Things are picking up here. Have a good evening! :hug:

[Inchworm]

43. Good Mooooo 'nin

Today is a repeat I think. Not much happening.

I hope your lunch went well.

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

45. Good morning Inchworm

Sometimes nothing happening is a good thing :)

Lunch was very nice.

:hi:

[Brewman_Jax]

44. G'day, MissH

:hi: :hug:

Looks like that cow can't wait for lunch. :9

[MissHoneychurch]

47. Good morning Brewman_Jax

Hamburger for lunch? :D

[Brewman_Jax]

52. The cow may not agree

:rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

54. Then it is Chick-fil-A

I guess :rofl:

[Brewman_Jax]

59. Or La vache qui rit

[MissHoneychurch]

60. Cheese?

[Brewman_Jax]

65. Cheese

:9

[Tuesday Afternoon]

46. Happy Cow! Good Morning, MissHc

I wish I knew what a normal day was. Even when my day starts out normal somebody around there finds a way to screw it up. I haven't had a normal day since before the holidays x(

Oh well. Good to see you :hug: :loveya: :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

48. Good morning Tuesday

:hug: :loveya: :hi:

Sounds like you need vacation and those not near your work place so that they can't call you in, prferable Germany :D

:hug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

49. I would love to...not only visit but, I am afraid you guys would have

to keep me. I would want to stay in Europe. I am taking a 4 day week-end next week. So there is that. Yay!

[MissHoneychurch]

50. I would more than welcome you here

:hug: :D

Oh, that is good. Maybe visit AirmensMom for a day or two?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

76. I would love to visit but, this is going to be a family trip with

Mom...to visit the gravesites of Grandma and Grandpa. We have not been since the funeral. We will see living family, too :D

I really do deserve a trip to AM and HD but, I can't justify it at this time :(

[MissHoneychurch]

77. Justify it to who?

And about the long weekend ... as long as you get away from your place it will be good for you. Change of scenery and stuff :D

[Tuesday Afternoon]

79. justify to my pitiful billfold...the well and the computer and other

unexpected expenses have depleted it to the point of non-existence ;)

Yeah, I think the Dr. ordered a change of scenery, for sure ;)

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:
