I get to make the Monday thread! I have 3 new classes starting today, so it's good but busy. I need to do a little research for my workshop. Other than that, I think it's gonna be a smooth day! I hope Kelly's feeling better and that everyone will have a great day. Let's also hear some good news from the consulates this week. Any scheduled interviews or happenings this week?
Noura

Good morning everyone!

I started my week off on the wrong foot this morning, having just had a confrontation with a crossing guard. Yes, a crossing guard. Not a story worth telling, but people can just be so rude and crochety, you know????

Anyway, I'm enjoying a cup of coffee to calm my nerves. Back to work!

Have a lovely, crossing guard free day!

you, arguing with a crossing guard? no way

monday, monday..go to work day...... not officially wake up till 10:30am day......I'd rather be anywhere else but awake day.....hehehe nothing happening unusual today that I know of....Hope everyone has an eventful and exciting day!!!!!

I think I might have to change my route to work in order to avoid her now.
Better get started on that letter to the traffic commission that I told her I'd be writing.

bump!

Don't expect too much on a Monday!

this? from one who argued w/ a crossing guard? expect anything!

Hey! You don't know, you weren't there! She was the devil with a neon yellow vest!

jenn- you're funny!

Well it's another Monday and I am out of bed and at work. I guess this could be considered a blessing, except I got home late after the wedding and barely slept. I get to do the drive thru window for the next two weeks at the bank. A "Learning experience." But I must say I like it so far. I get to see the outside which is the best part of being at the window! But the bad thing is that I hardly know anyone that goes to the window and I am not allowed to ask if anyone knows my customer because I have to ask for ID even though people have been coming here for years! So I am not only going to get yelled at by the customers, but in return I will get yelled at by my co-workers! I already got in an argument with a co-worker this morning because she doesn't want to hear me asking at all! I HAVE TO ASK FOR ID! Well that just put a damper on my mood!

I had a good weekend. Saturday was full of shopping for an outfit for the wedding. Sunday morning I spent the morning with my husband and the wedding in the evening. The wedding was nice. We were like a minute late for the wedding and the bride had already walked down the isle! But thanks God my friend Carrie and her husband were also late. The wedding was really short too. Maybe 10 minutes. The bride surprised a lot of us because we all thought she was going to be wearing a traditional american wedding dress, but she was wearing a moroccan dress that was absolutly beautiful! The wedding reception was good. They had it at the same restraunt my husband and I had ours. I made a new friend which is always nice. And the best part, my husband wanted to go home at 9:30! But we were asked to stay til the cake came out and then we were allowed to leave. So we left at 10:30 instead of our usual 12!

But anywho! I am hoping the week will be quick and that it wont be to terrible for me working here. I hope everyone has a good day!

Oh yeah! We got touched on 9/9/06! Yay!

It's a rainy Monday morning in Chicagoland. Good day to clean house. Amal, glad your hubby liked the recipe. Yea, just kick him out of the kitchen. Kelly, you feeling better?

Monday Monday...I don't care for them at all...lol.

Best part for me is I am not working today yaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Um...ok we have good news, husband got a call for job interview. He is so happy. It will be a busy day tomorrow as he starts school, goes back to the dentist and has the interview all in one day, whew.

Don't know what we will do about the SS card yet, as it has not arrived.

Weather here looks better. But I swear the fall came so quick. In August it was raining so much. And now the cooler weather is upon us too. I hope we can all afford our heating bills this winter. I for one took a few tips when I was in Maroc and now dress warmly even in the house. I keep the temp at 55 to conserve energy. I think husband is looking foward to the cold. Lol, we will see.

Okey dokey now ya all have a great day!!!


chi

chiquita, havent seen you around girl! you missed the meet up.. I was going to invite you but I assumed you were busy with the man lol

The meet up???

When (Getting ready)

Hi I'm here....What is this great recipe? Do I know it? Is it a secret?
I can totally relate to the crossing guard scenario! I had to go to the DMV today and theres a supervisor lady there now thats probably still thinking about me too. The security guy there was standing over me while we discussed her problem (which if you could see me you would know was not nessessary!) and they are just all so rude there. I wasn't escorted out or anything but it was really aggrivating to not get what I wanted. My story's not worth telling but I spent most of the late morning recovering from that interaction too.
Kelly, I hope you are felling better, too. You have been so sick all the time lately and kids are so nasty I don't know how you will ever get healthy again. I hope you are resting well when you are off work.
Jackie I am looking for a dinner idea now. whats this about a good recipie?
Dawn

I ate the leftovers for lunch today...yummmmmm

Oh poopy doopy!

Do tell what I missed!

And yesssssssssssss, I have been B U S Y with argaz ino!!!!!

chi




Lol...we did too! Ours was left overs from Red Lobster (lots of shrimp, salmon, rice and pasta with those great cheese biscuts). And I made corn on the cob (man he loves that stuff) and asparagus steamed with lemon. He asked me why I cooked the asparagus (???) since last night I was eating it raw. I just thought he would like to taste the difference in the two ways, I myself prefer it raw, some like it steamed.

Husband is learning the food here, but he sure has his dislikes. Doesn't like creamed beef or chicken with dumplings or soup from a can. Go figure who doesn't like Campbells? Lol.

Chi-
Amal is just showwing off cuz she has a secret yummy recipie that her and Jackie won't give up.

edited to say that this post made me platinum...

Wondering if I would be seeing u this thursday or not?

let me try again

I love crossing guards. when I think of crossing guards I think " bubble gum"
when I was a kid the one we had she always gave us bubble gum. so I see them
as happy people.


I woke up the normal time 1pm...

aww you missed good times at cedarland with henia and mrs Z and I.

stop being plain mean its old -

You obviously haven't met the devil crossing guard at the intersection of Eastern and Broadway!

Crossing guards? In michigan the only place we have those are around schools.

Yes, here too. I bet all the kiddies are terrified of the evil crossing guard lady.....

ah ok so its a local thing

how come the crossing guard is mean? most of them crossing guards are retirees
that wanna spread sunshine in peoples lives.. whats with that one? maybe you should go
talk to the crossing guard.

No thanks, she'll just start wagging her finger and yelling at me again for accidently partially blocking the crosswalk.

then bring her some bubble gum...

I think you're right! Who isn't happy when chewing bubble gum?!?!?

Hmm I can think of quite a few!! all my ex co workers from some years ago LOL


::sigh:: it's so sad here not being able to talk to henia every day. dangit, I'm jealous of her man, i want my friend back! lol

i'm not keeping any secrets ...its just jacques recipe and she deserves to tell it ..not myself
