Some good clean fun?! [Archive 1]

[irishrose]

I got married on my grandfather's birthday. That's why I picked it. It fell on a Sunday, but that worked 'cause Mom didn't have to close the restaurant. hee hee.

[Colleenka]

My DD got married on 6-7-8

 

Who do we appreciate?!

[imanurse55]

I was the 4,000 post- yay me---what prize do I get, Shannon?

[irishrose]

Would your husband like to join our CAL? Oh, wait. Does he crochet? I think that's a requirement.

[Colleenka]

I think the husbands might need a support group to deal with the lot of us

[_Stacy_]

Wow, he cleaned! That is nice!

 

Shannon, at least it was a Sunday! If the date falls on a weekend then cool, but if it falls during the week, well...don't expect a large turnout! LoL

[imanurse55]

Who do we appreciate?!

 

OMG Colleen- I am lauging so hard I've got tears running down:lol

 

My anniversary is next Tuesday 9-15 (nothing special about the date that was planned, but it ended up being 4 days after 9-11)

[irishrose]

Isn't that the truth!

 

I'll think of a prize for you, Joanne. Speaking of which, I'm having such a hard time finding goodies for you girls. All my ideas didn't work out.

[irishrose]

Colleen, were you by any chance a cheerleader?

[_Stacy_]

Ours is April 15, Tax Day. We didn't intentionally pick the day, we just decided to get married and picked the date. Afterward we realized what it was.

[imanurse55]

Yes, DH is serious about moving- and I am adapting to the idea- it does make sense to be able to really cut our mortgage down.Once he gets home from Ga we'll be actively trying to sell (which means I'll have to actively clean every night after work) Hoping it doesn't take too long to sell. But with the economy who knows- at least if it takes a few months or longer, we'll be ok ...I told him I 'm not even going to look at places until we sell this house.

[Colleenka]

No I wasn't a cheerleader. I was a gymnast.

[_Stacy_]

Isn't that the truth!

 

I'll think of a prize for you, Joanne. Speaking of which, I'm having such a hard time finding goodies for you girls. All my ideas didn't work out.

 

Me, either, Shannon. There isn't really anything from "my area" to send. If you all don't mind scratchy squares, I could send you some sand.

[irishrose]

I have a picture of my grandfather diving. He was a champion diver. It's in my bathroom (i know, weird). On my birthday this past year, I brought DD in to go potty. She looked up at the picture and said, "Poppy". That's what I call him, but I never told her about him or who was in the picture. It was his way of telling me Happy Birthday. He and I had a special connection, so I wasn't super-surprised. But I sure did appreciate it.

 

Okay, sorry. I just had to share that.

[Colleenka]

We got married in April too Stacy. The 6th. And it was daylight savings night, so everyone lost an hour of sleep We didn't plan that, but it was a bummer!

 

No worries about the goodies, ladies. Your squares will be treat enough!

 

Joanne - Good luck with the house selling! You'll need our support to get all that cleaning done!

[imanurse55]

My middle DD (the artist) was a competitive gymnast when she was growing up- she trained 20 hrs /week- it made her a very disciplined person--I think that is why she can deal with lots of things- she had to juggle school, homework and gymnastics training and meets- and the rule in my house always was that the grades can't suffer because of an activity! School always came first

[_Stacy_]

That is really sweet, Shannon.

[irishrose]

Yeah, Joanne. We got your back!

 

Stacy, I told you what to send me. But he has a girlfriend. Bummer.

[imanurse55]

I wasn't able to include anything with my squares- I went to three different places looking for something (even a postcard).. I even stopped at the rest stop on the way to Boston and the only postcards they had were from NY (what????)

 

Anyway, your squares from me will be in the mail tomorrow.....

[_Stacy_]

I'm really sorry Shannon. I think he would be kind of expensive to send, also.

[irishrose]

I can't even do a backbend. That's why I quit gymnastics when I was little. I was the only one who couldn't.

[imanurse55]

BRB- mother nature calling

[irishrose]

I have no idea how much it would be to send a person in the mail. But it would be interesting to find out.

[Colleenka]

Boy, I hope Mother Nature doesn't call collect!

 

Gymnastics was fun, but it is not a life long activity. I wish I had been into Tennis or Dance or something that I could still do now that I'm older and less flexible.

[_Stacy_]

I can't do a back bend, either. I always wanted to take gymnastics but my mom wouldn't let me- she was afraid I'd break my neck. I was a band geek for 7 years, though.
