So the board matches my life. Perhaps the active people are off having dates. I spent Friday night having a girl scout meeting at my house. We had to describe the Girl Scout Cookies and make posters to sell them. Anyone want to buy girl scout cookies? Did you know that all varieties are Kosher and have no transfats?
Well, B and I and my DS went out to dinner, ran into friends/clients/fellow geocachers (the client of mine and his wife, who got me into geocaching in the first place!) were seated next to us so the conversation flowed back and forth between both tables.
Came back to my place after dinner, watched some TV. DD was at an away football game.
B left about 11, DD got home about midnight, and of course she had to tell me all about her evening... then I couldn't get to sleep.
Watched ER, CSI, Private Practice and part of a month-old episode of a daytime soap that I watch (I'm over a month behind in my soap viewing - and I only watch one!)... before I finally drifted off to sleep about 3:00.
Went to work at 10.. home about half an hour ago (6:45).
DD is at a band competition, DS just left with XH to go and spectate. B may come over for dinner again - he had some dental work done today so he's not feeling 100% but I offered to fix him some soup and such tonight if he's up to it - gonna pamper him a bit as he's under the weather.
Life is pretty good <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Oh yeah and tomorrow, B is going to take us gold panning in the morning. I have to work for 4 hours in the PM but I told XH that I may be a bit late <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Well nothing has changed for me, Friday night I spent the evening with the 3 guys in my life, the same as I did tonight, but oh hey we went to church tonight.
Spent all day in the bowling alley with kids, got done with the kids and bowled 3 games with BG and my YD, I was the victor.
I gave two haircuts tonight and so am full of hair and ready to shower and go to bed. It's only 11:30 on a Saturday night. And yet again Mr Wonderful did not knock on my door and ask for a date. How is it that we are to meet if he can't find my house?
I do get to bowl on league tomorrow night, I was very adamant about never taking GSs with me, as I wanted adult time, but everyone else brings their kids and so I still have screaming kids running around. But hey I found that they aren't as loud when you aren't responsible for their behavior. (Pink wine coolers dull the noise, too) Their parents are annoying tho for not making them set down and behave and do something quiet and constructive!!! My kids weren't ever allowed to run around.It wasn't easy being the hard nose with them all the time, but it's fun to watch what they expect from their own kids!
Good Night, Mr Wonderful my address is 625 Westwind Dr, just so you'll know!!!
If he reads here, he knows you're witty, fun, kind, and have your act together. Now he has an invite to your house. If he shows, you'll think he's a pyscho.
Maybe we should all come over. Now that wouldn't be so boring would it?
Well, I had a banner day on Saturday because we didn't end up in the ER. Can I cheer that? After a beautiful day at a fundraising picnic, where we fished for 2 hours (yes, 3 girls), lots of running around and a moon bounce, my DD8 put her hand on a board, and a nail went in. Crying, screaming and demanding we hit the ER, on the phone, the doctor said clean it and watch it and know that the Tetnus is up to date. She still wants to go to the doctor.
They were impressed that mom knew how to get the fishing poles ready and how to teach them to cast. And I caught 3 sunfish (they caught none).
Today they are deciding between fishing and kayaking or the local amusement park. And it is a decision. What a beautiful, warm fall day. Yeah.
Dates, what are those things? I heard back from the Japanese guy. I haven't seen him since June or July. I don't think I have the energy to date him. When dating is too much trouble, well . . .. Life is boring (or busy).
When y'all go panning, be sure to ask if Lemon their pet cockatoo is around to be played with. She is such a sweetie!
If y'all go during the Gold Days, my older brother and his wife will be up there in their 49er's outfits and he will make SURE you get every bit out of your bucket.
He has the knack for finding every last little bitty flake.

Actually we're going around here - just NW of the ATL. There's plenty of creeks with gold in them right here - Dahlonega is just the best known but it's over an hour away. We may go up there sometime, but only if we could make a day of it and/or go camping to make the trip worthwhile.
We didn't end up going this past weekend but plan to this weekend! I have to work Sunday afternoons, so it will be just for a few hours in a morning.
I'm only 20 miles south of Dahlonega in Canton, so I go about every other weekend. Besides, my Uncle has 80 acres up there with a stream right through it. I have been threatening to dredge it for years. I might just do so this spring. There is an old dam where a griss mill was and I keep getting good luck there.
Dig down deep in front of large rocks to find it.
You want to find the black iron ore sediment. That's where the gold hides.
I've been here 7 years - I'm part of the 'problem' of progress. Yep there's lots going up here- new retail space, new subdivisions. They are paving paradise and putting up a parking lot.
That seems to be the law of the jungle anymore.
B grew up around here and he's saddened by all the 'progress'.
B and I and my DS went to a geocaching event in Kennesaw and had a blast. Did some geocaching after that. We still haven't been panning but DS was at XH's on Sunday. Perhaps next weekend.
I'm boring too. Why - and this is only MY suggestion - does not everyone here (with exception of Princess) come on over to "The Kingdom" Of Caerlon? It's on Divorcing/Divorced boards. Princess started this Thread a long time ago... waaaaaaaaay back in the dark ages.. Just hit 5,000 posts, but we keep losing folks. Love to have y'all join us! We are a bit boring.. i guess. There's three of us.. let's be boring together.. Harold
Well let's see. Tonight is girls' night out - Bunco at a friend/client's clubhouse. That's at 7:30. I am outta here at 6, DS is going to his father's, DD is at an away football game and will get a ride home with our friend's parents.
B and I are going out for dinner before I head over to Bunco.
Tomorrow, I'm working but leaving early at 3:30, at 4 there's a geocaching get-together just a couple of miles from here, B and I are going, bringing DS (picking him up at his dad's on the way through) and also picking up another kid from our neighbourhood so he can go with us. DD has a Saturday off from band obligations, she can come if she wants but thusfar she's indicated she just wants a quiet day at home (can't blame here there).
Sunday I have to work for 4 hours... but I'll probably squeeze something in in the morning or after work but it gets dark so much earlier these days it's hard to do anything outside after hours - there's always the morning before I go to work (I work at 1:00).
Tonight - STAY Home. Put away laundry, straightne the house. Tomorrow, Girl scout event all day, onto a birthday party, then the grocery store Sunday, church, and amusement park for Halloween fest. Sunday night, drop into bed exhausted. Onto another week.
gonna go out with some friends....and sunday we will be watching FOOTBALL! I love sundays....church then the girls sit around and we watch football. (GO BEARS!) (AND COWBOYS)
The men sit up on base and have there football sware every sunday so us girls figured we would start our own....I am wondering when they guys will call us and want to come watch with us as my BF has already mentioned he thinks it's hot. I'm gonna be like you guys get to buy the pizza. :P
This weekend is the Southern Festival of Books so we are going......all three days, apparently.
Tomorrow night, we are going to see 'Samson & Delilah' - had to lobby hard to get s & d to agree to go to the opera. They didn't want to go because they'd heard the story a million times.....yeah, but the opera will have belly dancers.
Did all that Friday night...dinner with B, then girls' night out - Bunco. I couldn't even win the biggest loser prize - we were in a 3 way tie and I lost that too! LOL!
Saturday we went to the geocaching event with DS and a boy from our neighbourhood.
Sunday, my XH's brother was in town, - he, the kids and XH went to dinner, I went to B's for dinner.
This morning at 6:40 I was out geocaching - a new hide was placed nearby last evening, and B called me and I emailed him when the listing went public (we both get email notification) - we were both too tired Sunday night to get it so we were up bright and early this morning to find it. I got there first and found it, and B came along as I was signing the log sheet. He went to work, I went home, then to work for a while (shop is closed Mondays but I have a bit of work to do).
B finished work by midday, as did I. He called me to see what I was doing (nothing) so he and I went gold panning for a few hours this afternoon! Found a few flakes in a local creek - water is way down, it's a terrible drought here. Had fun at it!
Home now, showered all the creek muck off, and waiting for DD to get home. XH's bro is still here til this evening - we'll figure out what to do for supper when DD gets home.
Tomorrow I don't have to work til 4 (other than check on the place in the morning) so I might go geocaching solo while B is at work... he's got more finds than me so perhaps I can narrow the gap a bit!
OK people it's almost the weekend.....so what are our plans???
I know it's a race weekend here at the track. And some of my good friends are moving here from CT and get here this weekend. As well as friends who are part of race teams who are just in town for the race.... one of my good friends is the head of communications for Ferrari and Ashton Martin....And then foot ball is sunday as usual and I have to make food for the boys on base...but I guess the girls arn't getting together this week...I am on my own *sniffle*
I have a second date on Saturday that is featuring dinner at my place, her first visit to it. I have a tentative offer for a M&G (meet and greet) for Friday night with someone I have been corresponding with for quite a while. If that falls through, I'll head up to the town meeting hall (the local pub) and put in an appearance. It's also likely that the neighbors will be out in the evening for one of our neighborhood gatherings. Sundays are my day to listen to my once-weekly favorite radio show and to putter around the house. The is a good chance I'll BBQ at my best friend's house Sunday afternoon. The weather is supposed to be very good here this weekend making all sorts of things possible.
My posts are beginning to sound repetitive Friday - STAY Home. Put away laundry, straighten the house. Saturday: Girl scout camping training. Did you know that girl scouts aren't allowed to camp or build a fire without 10 hours of training? Sunday, church, and clean my office Sunday night, drop into bed exhausted. Onto another week.
I'm thinking of switching jobs within my company. I'm so underwhelmed by my current position that I can't muster up the energy to actually pursue the job even though it's a great one.

Thats quite a plan but a plan non the less....hope all goes well man. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
leaving work early to meet someone [i met a while ago and have seen for lunch a few times] for shopping at the mall before i head to youth group. after we take the kids home, then i'll probably hang out with my best friends (the youth pastors) for a few hours talking, eating pizza, and playing games. i'm bringing niagara (spiel des jahres 2005) and a cute, little, fast, easy card game some people in the group like called for sale. but it's also possible we may end up playing magic til 3:30am like last week. at times, it's kinda nice not having a wife tell me i should be in bed. so saturday, i'll sleep late and then work on my business unless anyone invites me to do something. i've also decided i am going to try to take trips to maybe nyc every month. or maybe i'll rotate the destinations, no where that far but just see new places and have fun.
OK A2B2A, Where exactly do you live? And would you like a companion to meet on your NYC trips? I need to get myself out more, and am more apt to do it if I'm meeting someone. I'm not proposing a date, merely a companion to sightsee. There's so much to see in the city, and I need to motivate myself to explore it more.
Lorrddd I have been waiting for this day all week...it's still the morning and I already have Jimmy Buffet's "It's five o'clock somewhere" playing on my playlist....

i think that'd be fun newly. i live near saratoga springs (about 30 minutes north of albany). i'd probably get up early on a saturday morning and drive down. yes there's so much to see. i definately want to do a lot of the touristy stuff, maybe do a museum visit one day, and think it'd be fun to see a broadway show. i'd probably stay the night saturday and do a bit more sunday and then leave after lunch. i found a really nice hotel when i went this summer in the financial district that had great weekend prices and they had a good package with valet parking and an awesome breakfast buffet. but it might be better to stay more uptown depending on the agenda. i know winter's approaching but i'm thinking maybe nov 10-11 or nov 17-18. if you're interested, reply back and i'll get you my email addy or if others are interested too, we could open up a new thread/message here kinda like another MB meetup <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
i'm usually pretty flexible but taking youth group to zion bible college in rhode island this weekend, then my child's bday, 2 open weekends, then it's thanksgiving weekend which is sure to be crazy, or is it? how would early december sound to people? i love ny but not enough to tromp around in really cold and snow <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> mlhb - if you ever move out of state, almost everyone you speak to will assume nyc when you say you're from ny and then you'll be able to say you've been once or twice. i'll open up a thread tomorrow where we can throw out different day possibilities as well as possible agendas?
thanks ashes, but it does not appear that i will be moving out of state anytime soon....
but yes, when i did visit down in ga, some of gekkos friends only associated nyc with ny state... and they think that albany is upstate ny. i am like, you have no idea what UPSTATE is people! now I AM upstate!
so never got to watch hero's last night...ended up with DS in the ER....I can't believe how fast Ear Infections crop up but the poor baby was in pain so after urgent care turned us away because they were closing in 5 minutes (yeah I was mad) I took him to the ER. Now I have a big Fiasco with XH's company changed insurance's again and he hasn't given me the new cards...I asked him for them 2 months ago. I have to have the insurance co call the hospital now and I called the Insurance co and am having the cards sent to my house...etc. etc. etc. I am so thrilled...yay. -_-
But on a lighter note.....when was the last time someone here watched Robin Hood men in Tights.....I love mel Brooks.
I got reservations for 7:45 and we got the tanle by the fireplace.
The restaurant was overbooked and the OWNER asked if we would mind being moved to a booth for a FREE bottle of wine and appetisers!!!!
The least expensive Cabernet was ofer a hundred dollars!!!
The appetisers was two lobster tails, lamb chops and shrimp cocktails!!! HOLY COW, the wine and appetisers was $200 alone!!!! FOR FREE!!!!!
Tabs and I had a fantastic time, and the entrees were exquisite. She had a filet and I had the prime rib. Got the saute`ed asparagus for the side.
I only weigh in at a buck and a half, but I finished EVERYTHING. I ain't gonna eat for a week now, I'm so full.
Since I started this new job and got the promotion, I've been putting in alot of hours and so has she. We haven't had alot of time to spend together and we needed this night out.
Tabs is now getting the lifestyle my stbxw is going to miss out on as I now make real money.
Woohoo Pariah! That the Stony River at Mansell & 9? (or close to that?)... I've never been but it sounds pretty $$$.
B is out of town, with his Mom visiting Grandma and Aunt, but that doesn't mean I had a boring Friday... nuh-uh!
DD and DS were performing during the football game - Homecoming no less, so I was there to see that and work the concession stand. It wasn't as busy as the last time I worked there, but it kept me hopping. Got home about 11-ish with some leftover burgers and chicken sandwiches.
Tonight is the Homecoming dance... DD has to be there for 7. It's XH's b'day so the kids will be going over to XH's.
B will be back sometime tomorrow. I'm babysitting his doggie.
had an over hour long facial/massage friday and today i am getting my hair done with tri color lowlights in my blonde hair. a nice touch for fall. i am looking into that air brush tanning... i would like some color but have been avoiding the tanning beds as i know they are terrible for your skin. but i NEED some color. then i am going to hit the "bare minerals" make up store and get some new make up. it is a pamper me weekend. no dates, no kids. just me. and that is fine.
We went to the one on Holcomb Bridge Road since I can just take 140 straight back up to Canton.
The entrees are around $25. Not bad for a nicer restaurant.
It's always booked and crowded.
Today after work, I think I'm gonna go shooting and get ready for deer season. This year I want to use my 1866 Henry cowboy rifle.
I can still see good enough to use open sights and Tabs wants some deer for the freezer. At least it will be a challenge for me and a good chance for the deer to get away.
It's just too easy with a modern high powered rifle.
You need rifles down south to hunt? I had one deer 4 feet from my door this morning. Then we spent about 10 minutes trying to figure out if it was a deer or a bear sleeping in our blueberry patch. Deer it turned out. Suburbia has encroached. We had all hoped it was a bear so we could avoid raking leaves.
Pariah maybe I'm thinking of the same one. It's close to 140 and zips you straight back.
I had a busy weekend. As I mentioned, B was out of town - due back anytime now. Kids had stuff, football games and such, DD had Homecoming dance. DS went to his father's and DD went after the dance. Work was busy - XH and my PT worker moved 2 big tanks, one Saturday and one Sunday so I was in the store solo (just like during the week!).
My technician injured herself on Friday afternoon - she's off for a few days. I went in to do some work this morning then came home to do household chores... so much for a day "off"!
B and I are both looking forward to some "normal" after my weekend with Mom last weekend and his weekend with his Mom this past weekend.

HAHA......well you wern't too lucky....but at least it wasn't a bear....they do like to breaking things to get food -_-.....anywho wow Paraih....your a good date.....sounds like you two had fun....we ended up going to a big block party....they had bouncy houses and pre halloween stuff for the kids.....then after DS went to bed (babysitter came over) a friend 2 houses down had a big halloween bash.....I got caught up in a few dance battles and had everyone fawning over me and my dance skills.... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> yeah I roll like that....muhahaha.
I did a product review video for a 22 caliber conversion kit for AR-15's.
I had bought the device to save money shooting, but everyone asked for a review and how it worked, so I just did it hands on at a shooting meet Saturday.
I painted my living room yet again and bought a 2002 Explorer!! We are going to name her Dora, as keep refering to my truck and my grandson says no grandma it's an SUV!!!!
