Yay! It's Saturday!

Don't know yet what we'll do today. It's still early times though. I'm going back to bed!

Have a great one, everyone!


P.S. Jackie, I'm very disappointed in you that I had to make this thread this morning.

Yep...I'm going back to bed too. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning everyone! Off to start the day of errands. I'm hoping the earlier I start, the quicker I'll be done. I just want a lazy day. See ya'll later.

Mona

I am disappointed in me too. I made it to 11:45 and crashed. Can I redeem myself if I make Top 20 posters of the day?

I am OFF WORK today!!!!!!!!!!! The day is mine and so many possibilities. Have a great day everyone.

Jackie

Mohammed is at work and I'm just relaxing a bit. Laundry is going and I'm going to clean up a bit before Moh comes home. He sort of evokes "mess" everywhere he goes so this is a good opportunity to enjoy some order. The sun is finally shining here and it looks like it will be a beautiful day. Hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday.

Good morning! So everyone is off running errands or has gone back to bed? I'm cleaning closets today- finding a home for things that seem to just get stuffed away in the closets. It's raining again arrrggghhh!

Jackie- I donthink I have ever seen you with the day off! what are you gonna do with yourself and your new Carmela bangs?

back to bed??? Not me . . . the cats won't let me . . .they get charged up around 5:30am and want me to feeeeeeeeeed them. All that ruckus and they nearly always trip me up going down the stairs . . . then they hardly eat anything at all. Is it just because they want to see the full bowls of food? They all went back to sleep or out on the balcony upstairs (enclosed for indoor kitties) to watch the birds.

Sun is shining! I have errands to run . . . cardboard boxes to drop off at recycling center then a pedicure and . . . . bunch of other things that i need to make a list for!

I am at a loss here for what to do. I guess make a list. I could start shopping for gifts for Mohammed's family. A few laps around the mall would be good exercise. Hubby just left for work and I have 13 hours to myself.

#1 buy coffee
#2 buy laundry detergent
#3 ok so at least I thought of two things to do today.

My betta fish is sick I rescued it from Walmart. It was living in a little dish. So I brought it home and put it in my 29 gallon tank with my platy and mollies. Well, it was an attack fish and killed my white fish!!!!! To save my other fish I bought a $20 divider to keep mr. betta separate. Well, that side of the tank got too dirty and it took room away from the other fish. Now comes a $25 two gallon tank for mr. betta to live in. Three weeks later he's looking sick and weak from being in a little tank. I get out my old 10 gallon tank and set it up for him. (a lot of work here for a $3 fish!) I put him in the larger tank and now he's sideways and not looking very well. I don't want to mercy kill him cuz he might get better, but as of now, I don't know if he will make it. to be continued...........

Jackie

I hope when i get sick I end up on your door step

This is my sick fish. He is not eating or moving much.

Jackie

Poor fish. I have rescued many of those beta fish from wal-mart. They have lived a long life, but then again, i don't buy the males because they fight. I always buy females because they can live together with other fish an not fight. You have definetly given your all to save him. Keep us posted.

Oh Jackie that happened to our betta (named Anise). One night he started turning white, looking dead, falling to the bottom of the tank. He would come around again, and go through it all again. Next day he became a sideways fish, stopped eating and was never fully upright again. After a week or two, my husband ended up mercy killing him because he thought the fish was suffering. Hope yours turns out better!

For a lack of a better word, his 'neck' is brown and swollen. I think I put him in the new water too soon and either the chlorine in the water hurt him or the water was too hot. This was yesterday, how long do I wait til I euthanize him?

Jackie

Poor fishy


Just taking a break from cleaning. This apartment is going to shine when I'm done with it

That poor fish looks like he is floating upside down. I had a fishy a few years back and im sorry to say but when they did this upside down move the end was near. sorry

Im going grocery shopping to try that Chicken tikka masla recepi that was posted in sultans kitchen. I dont know why but this year in the mood for cooking and baking. I guess its because the whole last week of 2006 I spent it in London cooking for my hubby. Hes a great cook too. We just make up our own dishes with what ever we have availableand they come out great. We even baked our first cake together from scratch.....thats a whole different story LOL We got the degree settings wrong from Celcius to Ferenhit and well....our I great yummy chocolate cake came out looking like a big black burnt cookie jajajajaj We even have it on a small video too on our myspace. Does any one here myspace?

I have a myspace account but it's just for my fiance to read only. A place to share thoughts or what have you.

Happy saturday everyone. It's so grey here in New York/New Jersey I think we're getting snow today/tomorrow. Anyways, I'm not about doing much at all today. It's the first weekend back since seeing my fiance. Last saturday this time I was crying because I knew I'd be leaving the next day. Its always hard the first few days back I guess, but at least this time I came back and filed our packet.

I may try to catch a movie this afternoon - I don't know why I prefer going to the movies alone once in a while.

Enjoy everyone.

I do too!

What are you gonna see?

Beta fish actually do well in small places, it doesn't matter if the tank is large or small. Maybe you could set some water out tonight and put him in a smaller tank?

Hey Jenn,

I dont know what to see, no good horror flicks out right now and that's my favorite. I may go to the independent cinema and see something with subtitles lol.

Horror? oh not me....but I do like to watch them sometimes with friends and talk back to the characters. You know saying things like....don't go back there..run you idiot run!

That's my favorite too!!!! My husband hates horror movies, so I either go see them with my best friend or alone. Havne't been able to see any since the Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel though.

The Hitcher got pretty bad reviews. I liked the original of that. I think The Messengers and Hannibal Rising will be good, but I don't think they're out yet.

Have fun whatever you decide to see!

Boo hiss I'm at work today for a few hours. Youssef decided to stay up until 3am watching a movie (mind you he was not taking care of the baby - he was sleeping in the bedroom with me), and then at 8am this morning when everyone was getting up he said "Oh I'm so tired, I hardly slept at all." I just wanted to say "well ya dummy you have to sleep with the baby sleeps!" But i'm so nice I let him sleep in until 11:30 but then I had to get moving to go to work. Tonight I'm making msemmen to keep in the freezer so he can pop some out during the week while I'm at work. Tomorrow I'm going to make a chicken b'stilla, harirra and some salads to keep in the fridge for the week. I might make some hummus too. We'll see how things go. So few hours of work, off to the store and home. I might clean the house tonight/tomorrow too (folded 5 baskets of laundry this morning argh!!)

I think you need to teach your husband how to help you around the house!!!!
You have a new baby and you're back to work and still doing everything!
I think you're going to burn out fast if you keep it up.

Or tell him you need a maid.

I'm pooped already - gonna try to lay down before I have a private class in 1 1/2 hrs. Said's cooking lunch. We got him a cell phone today and did some grocery shopping and went to the farmer's market. Having some friends over for brunch tomorrow - that should be fun! It's raining and cold here *again* today. We had 2 days of sunshine and before that, 13 solid days of gloom & rain. Now the rain's back again... Yuk! I'm off to rest a while! Later...
Noura

I have myspace and that is where Rida and I met. As for the fish, did you treat the water when you changed the tanks? I have always treated the water before putting them into new water to help neautralize the chlorine and anything else that may bother them.

Hello everybody! After spending almost the last 48 hours straight running around the hospital like a bandit trying to save my patient, he's doing better today!!!! He might make it after all. It was an awful 2 days, but if he makes it it will all be worth it. I just woke up from my post-call sleep and we're going to do some errands, then celebrate our anniversary. It's tomorrow, but Maj has to work, so tonight's the night.

It may be grey out but the world's looking a lot better today

Sharon

Congrats on your patient, I'm sure you feel so much better!!

Happy anniversary!!!!! I remember you guys were right after us!

Awwww Jackie, I'm sorry.

I have a list of things to do today, and its Noon and I haven't done anything yet. I need motivation!

I thought you were doing spa stuff this weekend??

Well it's the perfect winter day here. It's raining and I already ran all of my errands and can just relax with the heater on this afternoon.

Have a good one guys!

Tomorrow... can't wati!!!

JP I like your rebel picture.

isn't cute!!! I want one in real life.

Perfect for pink jackets!!!

I'll get the wool from you.

How's the fish doing, Jackie??

Tootie!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jenn, did you do something to your picture? It's looking a tad squished.

I'm here. Worked today on my new second job. Yeah......wtf was I thinking??? Came home and like no laundry was done and the dishes are still in the sink. UGH.

Gonna eat my ho ho's and catch up a bit here.

Still no freakin' marriage certificate. They guaranteed him 5 days delivery and we're now on day 7.

Mmmmm..... ho ho's

I haven't had any in years but I do remember them being quite yummy!
Do you think you'll stick with the second job or just take it as your main job or what? What did you decide??

No freakin' way can I work two jobs for more than a few weeks!!! I miss my free time already and this is only day 1!!! I did find out how to log in from home though so I'll be able to do that at night when I'm home from my other job. I wouldn't even do it at all but the guy who replaced me walked out on them with no notice and cost reports are due mid February so I feel bad.

I gave them a list of demands but haven't heard back on whether they'll accept it or not. If not no biggie since I'm happy where I am, though lemme tell ya since I left there a year ago they moved to a new building and the place is sweeeet!!!!!! Feels like you're walking into the Four Seasons!!! I went into the place today in sweats and felt like I should go home and get all dolled up even though it's Saturday!! Right next to all of the major highway entrances too which would chop off a good twenty minutes from my commute.

Well, there is one of the best points of the new job!!! I'm slogging thru just over 20 miles at a minimum of 45 minutes!!! and it was close to 1 1/2 hours the other night due to an accident!

I changed my avatar to Tootie! If that's not what you see, then press Ctrl-F5 to refresh.

You take the good, you take the bad, you take 'em both and there you have....

I have been cleaning out closets and cabinets all day. Now there is a huge bag of trash and three bags of misc. stuff to be taken for donation. Can anyone tell me where all this stuff comes from? It seems i just cleaned out the closets the other day!
