HAPPY NEW YEAR to TL and Neak and family and Believer and well just everyone from AWSMUM

I do hope you have a good time and some family fun. Hug the dervish and the kiddie crew.

We had lots of “fun” - well AW and lover boy did. lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

They also are not feeling very well this morning, no afternoon now, must of been the couple bottles of Moscato, or maybe the whiskey when lover boy was dancing the Irish reel on top of the tables with his team members as the bagpipes damaged my eardrums, or beer with whiskey chasers when the men sang? Sean Sabhat ( I hate that song because they sing it when they are being deployed like a good luck charm) . I recorded it for prosperity on my mobile phone for when I need a laugh. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

They were going to leave early, I suppose when we got them into the car at 3.30am it was early in the morning, I was a bit worried about my carpet and car seats as AW looked particularly vomitus. 5 drinks and she’s sick as a dog. I'm not gloating - really - I'm her mum I don't gloat - no, I told her so is much more satisfying <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

However Mikey was having a ball at my other daughters house having lots of fun with his cousins.

Have they not figured out that there are aftereffects of drinking like that? I've only been really drunk once or twice and I don't plan on doing that ever again.

Nonetheless, I am glad everyone had a reasonably time.

Well I don't know...how long till you're 67? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

We are all going with AJ on the truck tomorrow, so I'll pop in and/or send messages as I'm able. We're going to WA first, and who knows after that???

AD, I'm still waiting for you to show up. Your cup of hot chocolate is getting moldy. If you don't hurry, I might have to fix another one. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!

Hi all

I have slowly recovered from last night ... 5 drinks and I was sick as 2 hours after... I cant handle alcohol anymore so I think I'll give it up for lent ..early (except for a glass of wine with dinner or the like) . <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
Aussie was DISGUSTINGLY healthy after all the whiskey he drank <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

I did have fun until the drive home in mums car though <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

ever laid on your bed sick as a dog when your baby /toddler wants to just play with you? someone could have shot me to make my head better <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

When I wished you a Happy New Year, I didn't anticipate that it would make you happy to invite me over the catch the plague!

And besides, a cup of cocoa does not a dowry make. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Well, people who abandon other people in the middle of the nuptial preparations shouldn't expect anything else, now, should they? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

P.S. Happy New Year, everyone. I spent the change of the year in the operating room (as a circulating nurse, not a patient, fortunately.) Weird stuff at work lately. And lots of it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Tell us all about it.

Well.... Well... (AD desperately scrambles for a reply)...

Well....

I didn't abandone anybody!
You never mailed me the airline tickets! :scowl:

AD

that is such a poor excuse. I feel you need to work on it a bit more.

Last time I heard you had left the downtown crisis centre and just hitched your way home. Talk about non commitment! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I mean trying to blame the whole thing on not getting a ticket? really! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

AWsmum

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

You mean he was having a crisis and they let him walk out and hitch his way home? I would have thought they might have at least have given him an ambulance ride to the emergency room/casualty department. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Sheesh - a man has invaded our aisle!!!!! Am I the only one on the aisle today? Boy, y'all must be too old to need to shop here.

Hello there!

We are still in WA. We could not get the reload that was planned for us, because the highway between here and Yakima was closed this morning due to avalanche. Or "allantch", in Dervishese. So we reload tomorrow.

Right now we're parked in the parking lot of the Super Mall in Auburn. It rained SOOOOOOOOOOO hard today!!! The bad thing is the bathrooms will close at 9pm, but the good news is it will be dark enough to make the kids (TMI ALERT!!!) go under the trailer. It's just like camping, except that we got to eat veggie corn dogs for lunch.

The boys and I climbed their rock wall today. Mr. C and I made it all the way to the top and rang the buzzer. I am a bit sore, but I made it!

Right after we got in the truck, the rain went from veryveryvery hard to vertical flood.

One bad thing is the only bag I forgot had all our books in it. So it turned out to be a good thing for us that a bookstore was going out of business. $2 for all hardbacks, and $1 for all paperbacks. So for about $10 we got a nice quiet afternoon back in the truck. All of our coats are hanging all over to try and dry out.

Did I mention they had a Cinnabon? I am just waiting till the kids go to sleep before I crack it out.

And a quick[ ;'p;p;p turn through Harry and David's made me wish I were rich. Yummy! I'll take one of those, and one of those, and seventeen of those......we didn't even go into Bed, Bath, and Beyond. (AJ is just realizing that, if you heard the loud groans. Also the little sic above was him playing with my keys. TMI again, right?)

Hope everyone is dry and warm like we are, but maybe not as crowded. Boy am I glad all over again for those books!

Happy January 2 to all. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Glad you are well. Give everyone a hug for me. And, enjoy that Cinnabon for me. With my training thing, I am starting to look at food differently.

So, how do vegetarians consume the protein needed by their bodies. I am training for a half marathon and was wondering about that. I'm not a real big meat eater but not ready to give it up.

Hiya guys

just taking notes here, raining, stuck in a small truck cabin (cabin will be close enough), bed, seats, ... oh and far away from home .. and MUST have a loo and maybe a spa .. have I forgotten anything? oh ... kids well THATS not happening on my trip lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />... mum what are you doing for 2 or 3 days? nothing ? good!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

but I need my Mikey fix, how about ..no that won't work I couldn't stand the smirks.<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
Mobile phone and video ... mum will just have to put up with calls every hour or so <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I though Cinnabon was a bakery franchise? We have fresh cinnamon buns here with raisins and swirled dough which are very yummy with fresh butter, I usually make make my own butter for those slurrrrp <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> but oh so full of bad things <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> now I'm drooling .. stupid diet ! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I once made some incredible sour dough cinnamon rolls. Lots of cinnamon, sugar, butter, pecans.....concocted them up from scratch. Didn't write down any of the details. Have never been able to do so well again.

So, I would dearly love some home baked cookies. But, do I see anyone around here baking? Nope. Baked nothing during the holidays. Church party was a seated dinner in an art gallery. Work party...wait, I did bake something. Party mix - 'Nuts & Bolts' as it is called in my family....cereal, nuts, pretzels, butter, and seasonings all stirred together then slow baked for 3 hours....yup, 3 hours.

Cinders,
I can make pancakes from scratch on my own, but most baking, I need to read all about it first. Good for you.

Well Neak, it could be worse. The sleeper could leak.

Hi T&L. Hope the operating room was OK. It doesn't sound fun to me.

Hi AW. You gals make me humgary. I think I'll get some sleep, and try to forget about food. With my luck, I'll dream about it though. Probably all night.

SS shakes head, thinking about Neak and family in a sleeper.

SS

I hope no one had baked beans in tomato sauce for dinner in that sleeper <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Never mind.
