wake up mena!

Ugh, work day. I only have about another 170 Tuesdays

not that you're counting, eh?

1233 days left and yes, I am counting

i'd add up the days for myself but it would be too depressing.

I don't get it. Why is tuesday new dvd release day? Do you mean for Netflix?

<------- Has donuts. Both legal and illegal. Muhahahahaha

Good Morning Everyone! UGH, but it's hard to be bright and cheery when you have overslept and get the kids off to school late. Hope the rest of the day is better than the past hour has been.

All new DVDs come out on Tuesdays. I think new music cds come out on Tuesdays, too.

Hmmm - me thinks someone has been playing in the "ageing" Tuesday related topics bucket!

I am tired, I have a headache. My realtor is slacking and hasnt returned my call or emails. Damaged ceiling is being replaced today as are hard wired smoke detectors. Noise Noise Noise. I just want to curl up and go back to sleep.

When are you moving, Laura?

Happy Tuesday to ya!

I am off to work and slave at my desk til 5pm........grrrr I have pretend to work for 7 hours. Torture. hmmm good day to work on that 4th heart over in Off Topic. My goal is 4 hearts in 4 years. It's good to have goals in life.

I just saw this old dude (about 80 yrs old) from Egypt in the kitchen talking to some guy about Egypt. I'm too shy to butt in but it was kind of cool. I wish I could have seen his name so I could look up what he does here. . . where's that spy smiley when I need it...muhahahahaha.

Need more coffee. Finally remembered to send in my netflix...it's been two weeks! Axis of Evil comedy tour is in my queue (sp???) and I can't wait. That and A Perfect Stranger.

On or around Dec 1st. It is coming up so fast I am getting a bit dizzy. The purging of my house is just endless (and I am the furthest thing from a packrat - probably why purging takes so long for me - I get rid of everything)

go make me proud sista!!!

every tuesday is when movies are released for sale on dvd.

today btw is shrek 3 and oceans 13

Wow that's like two weeks from now! I hate moving so I feel for you. The purging is the hardest part for me, too. I've moved so many times that I really only have the bare necessities now. I've learned to be a minimalist, lol. Good luck to you and hope the move is relatively painless.

ughhh! finally found TODAY'S Tuesday thread!

Good morning everyone!

Hugs,

Ayesha

i know!

It was only 2 threads....

But then again, not much is going to bother me for a few more days

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Happy Tuesday!

I am feeling pretty tired today, wishing I was in bed watching TV and napping.

How is everyone doing?

Happy Tuesday! I cant stop thinking about the work week for next week! 3 days with a 4 day weekend!!! so of course it makes it seem this week will never end

The weather here today is 62. I am actually tempted to start putting up the x-mas decorations outside this evening before it starts freezing. I did that last year as well and i think it was the first time that I actually was sweating from hanging up the x-mas lights outside...lol

No barfin today?

5 more hours at my desk---then MAJOR hair renovation. Ya'll know the 'before', tonight I will post the 'after'.

Hi everyone! I emailed Cairo last week to let them know I was coming and wanted to bring my 2006 taxes and so on. And I got a reply today.

Dear Madam:

Thank you for your e-mail message.

Please mail to us any document you need by the DHL courier service. Thank you for letting us know that you would be present in Cairo soon, we will contact if the consular officer finds it necessary to meet with you.

Regards,
Consular staff

Im still going to the Embassy and going to try to get in.

I just finnished my Christmas shopping so that is all done befor I leave for Egypt! 9 more days

Jackie did you decide on a hair style yet?

It hasn't been determined yet!

I think you should get a bob with the front longer than the back.

I tried to meet with someone when I was there I got nowhere, but you even got a more personalized response than I did when I wrote.
I wish you luck, i feel so sad today about this whole nightmare that is called AP

My husband has called many times to try to get an appt but no go. The only time they've let him in was for his scheduled interview and to get the Packet 3 documents that were missing from the package they sent him. They have, however, talked to him at times, for example he was fretting about the fact that the CO told him he needed to bring in two more photographs, but the people at the embassy said he didn't need to do this. I emailed to verify and they told me that he already passed in the required amount of photos that he needed and no extras were required. Good luck though if you can get in and who knows maybe by knowing you're there it'll speed it up.

Jackie I can't wait to see the after picture!!!!!! I'm still hunting for an all girl hair dresser or at least one that has a back room somewhere. I'm about to give up and just do it at a normal place though because it's been since August!!!!




I can't wait for the 4 day weekend either 'cause it'll be the first time in three months that I'm kid free for a weekend!!! I feel like doing a road trip!

Moments like this, I want to run away from my job. Why do men think they know more about floors than I do? I have a project foreman DEMANDING we install a wood floor in the big azz building. And he wants it installed in 2 weeks. Normally this would not be a bad thing, but they just poured the concrete floor a few weeks ago. I told him that wood CANNOT go over wet concrete til it passes a calcium chloride test of 3 pounds per 1000 sf. He said it won't pass that for 6 months. So we got in a pizzin match over my knowledge and his timeframe of expectations. Then I had to further piss him off and tell him the heating system has to be in place and running for 4 weeks. Thru the phone, it sounded like he lost his breath. lol

The builder commended me for bringing this to their attention and mr. project foreman I can assure you is re-doing his computerized timeline. This paticular project will run 5 years. I sure hope we can all get along better than this first building. There will be 9 more of them to come.

Ok, back to solving more flooring emergencies.

J
getting giggly over this haircut! I feel like extreme makeover.

Sitting here at my new job, at my new desk and I'm having a blast!!!!! We already have 5 patients scheduled for our first day of clinic!

Do you have beverages and snacks out too!?

I keep picturing a grand opening for a car dealership with balloons and barbecue. I don't know why.

Yay, who is gonna do your hair??

jackie, just tell him you have a bigger tape measure

LOL! I have a chocolate chip cookie and a Route 44 diet vanilla coke from Sonic....does that count?

Mine is bigger, longer, stiffer and fatter than his. So there, mr. project manager, put your little, short, limp, skinny tape back on your pants. and leave the floors up to the experts.




Jackie

LOL! I just snorted my coke! (that's doesn't sound good does it?)

uh, no...snortin your coke didn't sound good. Try Dr. Pepper instead.

J
