For Valentine's Day, my husband gave my daughter and I Disneyland tickets! He is dropping us off tomorrow on his way to Knott's with the boys. I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are such a crack up!!!This means I didn't get my ring back for Valentine's, so I have to agonize for another week about it. We are super excited. We've never gone without the boys, so it will be a girls day. I suspect that's a different sort of experience. The boys don't like the Peter Pan ride, and it's our favorite, so we are going to ride it at least 3 times! So there! (in the direction of the boys!)
I've seen that troll with my dad before, but I don't remember any people!
Oh, I'm pretty sure she will! I'm also sure there will be smooching involved! Happy Valentine's Day to you Miss Sassy Pants;) (I love writing that!)

11h41min.......and nobody came here.....Even though I didn't feel well since thursday night, I enjoyed and are enjoying my weekend. We even had sun today!!!!!
I finally heard my sister again and we talked for more than an hour on skype! That was nice. Jsut tried nasi goreng, but from a frozen bag...not bad but not really wow. Yesterday was nice and I still don't know if it feels soooo much longer or not like five years at all yet since I am togetehr with my boyfriend since yesterday.
tomorrow again work, team leader is back and damned will have to give him an update of my customers.....I am not good in that yet. And probably I will have somewhere training again and have less time to do my work again..... but I am feeling good now. Now there is jsut a derby in soccer I have to win that starts now!!!!!!!!

LOL, Fiona!
Kandice sorry about your ring. :(
I hope it's ready soon!

Fiona: I'm manless & loving it. I snuggled up with my electric blanket and several books. Perfect Valentines day- don't forget the huge bowl of ice cream. I'm always eating!
Jeane drink lots of tea & get lots of rest!
Oh yes they do. I can't eat food the looks disgusting. I am picky.
So, I quilt and make cute sewn items. I haven't done any craft shows in about 10 months because the economy sucks. I was just counting out the bookmarks i've made (I make these cute quilted bookmarks-the nice thing is if they get dirty throw them in the washing machine). I have over 3000 bookmarks. Very sad. Only about 15 quilts.
I am not just a bookoholic but a bookmarkoholic.

I am so craving cheese and crackers. Sharp cheddar cheese.
I might just have to get off my butt & got eat.

I love quilting. I either am sitting at the sewing machine or sitting reading a book wrapped up in one of the quilts I made.
Quilting is actually really easy. If you find a quilt store close to your home they usually have beginning quilting classes. I actually have about 400 cut squares upstairs right now I am doing a 9-patch for my bed, spring colors/flowers. I just want something new.

The only thing about quilting is that it is very addictive. If you have a book buying problem you will have a fabric buying problem.
I am well know at the books stores, fabric stores and scrapbooking stores. I jsut hang out and spend money.

My sewing machine isn't too big. I would like a Long arm. They take up a lot of room but it makes machine quilting easier. I am actually thinking about turning my garage into a sewing room. If that happens it won't be for several years.
I can sew, but quilting makes my head ache! My aunt tried to teach me, but I was crooked. Nothing lined up. I love sewing, though. I used to make quite a bit of my daughters clothing. Well, until she became more concious of brands! At about 9, a lable that said "Made with love" was not quite as exciting as one that said Roxy or Quicksilver! I know what you mean about faric too! I would buy yards with no project in mind, just because it was beautiful and on sale. I have a sewing room, and I have a 5 drawer dresser ompletely full of fabric just waiting for use!

I like almost any kind of oyster, clam, scallop or mussel. I don;t care how it's prepared. In the case of oysters, I love them raw too.Glad you're feeling better Jeane! :)
When we have gone to New Orleans, I always go to the bar in whichever restaraunt we happen to be eating. I eat my oysters and hot sauce there, as opposed to at our table with my husband, because it soooooo grosses him out! Same thing with crawdads. I don't eat them in front of him. Or if I must, we put up a big menu or something for a visual baricade. It's a crackup!!!! He thinks the less food looks like it did when alive, the better.
Baby!!!! We had a lovely time yesterday, and Darby picked a post card for Anna. I let her pick, so it's girly, but it IS Disneyland, so...
Kandice you are so much like me! It's funny
I wanted a sex change! LOL! (sorry couldn't resist)
Needed a new Avi and Enrique is eye candy, to me anyway.

I know it doesn't sound cullinair but I jsut bought bread on my way home and feel like jsut eat plain bread. But it has eight kinds of seeds in it and I just adore that!
Last month was my first month at work and I didn't overwork or something, jsut did the things my team leader told me. He expected me not to clear to many debit notes ebcause I jsut started so low expectations but apparently I did many more than he thought. I jsut got the new debit note targets for this month.....pffffff I got almost triple of the previous month! 150...... luckily I am cleaning up the mess with a customer that the one who I replaced didn't do because there are many dn to clear there....but lots of work linked to it.... I am jsut going to enjoy this so much!!!!:-)
I love almost any kind of bread, especially anything out of the oridinary. I could never, ever, ever go carb free. Hope you enjoy it Jeane ;)
I make bread at least 3 or 4 times a week. I use a bread machine for the dough, but never cook it in there. The best is this peanut butter and jelly bread. You let the machine make the dough and then when you would add nuts, you add pb and j. It swirls in there nicely. You roll it in a loaf. let it rise in the pan and when it's baked, it slices like a ready made sandwich. I've squished bananas and used that instead of the jelly too. Delicious!!!
ooo, my mom used to make me pb & j bread! It was my FAVORITE! I had totally forgotten about it. :)Time to go home and relive my childhood...
Ummm. I wouldn't use the saving money argument! A lot of the breads we like take funky ingredients that end up costing a lot. I also find that for plain old white sandwich bread, the machine, or homemade is not so great. The bread it too soft, so when you slice it, and i have a good slicer, it looses it's lovely square shape. I really do reccomend one though. Even if you use it for nothing but pizza dough, it's awesome!
I like ANY kind of bread. If we are going to have soup or stew, I like to make round bread bowls. My kids love those. You have to make a few batches of the dough in the machine and the cook them all together otherwise you can only make 2 at a time, and we need at least 5.
Was this job closer, Fiona? If so, I'll keep my fingers crossed (again). Have you done anything like it before?
Are you looking exclusively for that type of job, or just anything? Before I had this job, I had stayed home for 6 years, and it was pretty scary to look for anything. I just didn't feel qualified.
I think nursing may be a calling, not so much a decision. I have no qualms about blood and gross things, but don't know I'd have the patience to deal with whiny, cranky sick people that weren't mine.
I'm okay with vomit. (how unlikely a sentence is that?!)I'm listening to the Abstinence Teacher on CD. There is a small character named Candace, and it's startling each time the name is said out loud. My name is not that common, and it's weird!

Angela wrote: "I especially love dipping bread in oil and sprinkling on parmasean (sp) cheese! Yummy"toasted bread is great with a little bit of olive oil over it and a bit of salt spread over it.

But ebcause we liked it so much we ate much more bread than normally and after a day it would be finished already.
I was wondering what I would read here after the bribing and the boob talk in the other threads....but at least it is nice jummy bread....my bread with all the seeds is down stairs and shouldn't eat it now, I am going to cook or prepare something at least in about half an hour....
Rachel-I also have a cousin named Candice. My mom was furious with my aunt. LOL They call her Candy, though, and I would never answer to that! It sounds like a stripper to me!Jeane-You never told us how to pronounce yout name. It has caused quite a bit of puzzlement.
Fiona-That's too funny! My kids have those games.
