Good morning Lounge

[MissHoneychurch]

Happy Monday!!!! :D

How was your weekend? I stayed home and enjoyed the sun on my balcony.
And Saturday I actually really really cleaned my windows. That is an accomplishment for me :rofl:

A belated Happy Birthday to Callalily!! I hope you enjoyed your b.day :party:


Picture of the Day

[malta blue]

1. Good morning!

:hi::loveya:

I had an awesome weekend!! Well, 15 hours of it... The rest was spent anxiously waiting or exhausted :evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Good morning malta

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

You are up early :)

I can imagine that you had a blast. And the anxiously waiting is part of the the fun :D

[malta blue]

4. Up with the dogs...

Zeus was traumatized this weekend... He could not handle company, so he had to get crated.

Going back to sleep...

[MissHoneychurch]

7. Poor Zeus

:hug:

He is jealous ... better gets used to it.

[malta blue]

13. He is acting weird today - like he is sick..

:(

When I got up for real, he wasn't in bed - he was on the dog bed in the corner. And he ate really slowly ... And didn't want to go out...

He's lying on the bed looking sad right now :cry:

[MissHoneychurch]

15. I hope it is only

begging for attenion. And making you feel bad because he wasn't #1 this weekend. :hug:

[malta blue]

17. Me too.

He looks so pitiful right now :(

[MissHoneychurch]

20. I am sure

you will watch him carefully the next few days.

What will you do when P comes for more than 15 hours?

[malta blue]

21. Zeus is going to have to deal...

He was only crated for 6 of those hours :shrug:

I just wonder if he got into something that I didn't notice.

[MissHoneychurch]

22. Can you take him with you to work

so that you can keep an eye on him?

[malta blue]

89. I left him at home in his crate.

Little MB and her daddy will check on him when he picks her up after school today.

I am sure he is just a little shook up. He was trying to ram the door open! I would hear these little steps and then a bump on the door, followed by whining.... :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

90. Does little mb's daddy

know why Zeus was in the crate?

[malta blue]

93. well, the dogs are crated when I go to work, so he

will not know the backstory...just that Zeus does not feel well. ;)

Imagine what that poor little dog is going to do this coming weekend when it is a 4 day stay! :banghead::banghead: <<-------- Zeus.

[MissHoneychurch]

94. OK

good excuse :D

Poor doggie. Can't little mb take him with her for the long weekend? :D

[malta blue]

95. Daddy has a very skittish kitty....

Zeus is in for a hard lesson.... :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

96. Guess Zeus has to deal with it

I am sure he will be fine. And maybe P finds a way in Zeus's heart as well :D

I am going home now. Have a great rest of the day!!!

[Droopy]

3. Mornin' Miss H

That is a beautiful picture. It's so good that it looks like a work of art.

I didn't do a whole hell of a lot last weekend. Just the mandatory laundry and goofing off. I did discover a favorite new band, though, which is really cool because they have 9 albums out and a new one coming in June. I've got all of that wonderful music to enjoy now. It's a thing of beauty.

Do you like any American music? What are your favorite bands? I must admit, the only bands I know of from Germany are the Scorpions and Rammstein. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

5. Good morning Droopy

:hi: :hug:

Thank you. I took the picture in the Black Forest last year.

I like American music. I am mainly in HipHop and R&B but also like song writers like Leonard Cohen and Joan Baez. We hear American music all the time on the radio here in Germany.

In the last year a lot of new German bands popped up. I am not so much into their music. One group that is around quite some years already are "Die Toten Hosen" Here is one of their most famous songs in English http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4txxeCI5zmg The song came out in the 80s.
Other German bands are Die Ärzte (long time around too), Silbermond or Seeed (which I like).

[Droopy]

6. That's a good tune. Rocks pretty hard.

It's 100% better than what most of our pop and rock bands were coming up with back in the 80s. But I see you all were not immune to making cheeseball videos like we did back then. :) I know of Joan Baez but I had never heard of Leonard Cohen before I started posting on DU. According to the folks here I'm missing out on something.

[MissHoneychurch]

8. We were as bad in the 80s as everyone else

:rofl:

Here is another example of a German group from the 80s. Modern Talking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y7c1_gK8Os


You definitely need to check out Leonard Cohen. He is a fantastic singer and song writer. I totally love his music.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

9. Good Morning MissHoneychurch!

:hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

It was a quiet weekend here, spent enjoying the wonders of ibuprophen and naps :)

I love the pic, it should be in a travel magazine.

Rainy day ahead. After a sunny weekend, I will not complain. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Good morning SCE

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

You might want your wrist get checked out by a doc.

It is sunny here. Just came back from my lunch outside. I went out without a jacket (which you still need in the mornings).

[SalmonChantedEvening]

12. The wrist is better

I just need to be more careful when I'm lifting.

After 5 1/2 days of work, lazy weekends help re-charge the batteries. :)

Off to an early start, there will be people waiting in the rain for the shop to be opened.

Where did I leave those keys... :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

16. Did you check

underneath the couch? :rofl:

Have a great day!!! :hug:

[Callalily]

11. Good morning MissH!

That pic is just stunning, very beautiful. You should frame it and hang it up in your condo.

My weekend was fabulous. Went out with friends Saturday night to celebrate my birthday. Several of us stayed the night at a friends place, and we all had a breakfast together on Sunday morning.

Tomorrow getting together with two friends after work. We all have April birthdays and always get together to celebrate and exchange gifts.

Unfortunately, I didn't get much done around the old homestead, but I decided to take Friday off of work, so not only do I have a short work week :) I've got a three day weekend to enjoy, and catch up with domestic chores if I so choose.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

14. Good morning Callalily

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I remember the first time I posted this pic you loved it back then too :)

Glad to hear you had a wonderful b.day. And will have another "party" tomorrow. I have some friends who have b.day in April too. Today, tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday .... each day one b.day :crazy:

I am so proud of myself that I cleaned my windows. Sounds nutz but I hate cleaning windows.

[Callalily]

18. It's nice to extend

celebrations! ;)

Oh, I know what you mean about cleaning windows. My last place had a million windows, all double hung and not fun to take apart and put together. I HATED, HATED, HATED cleaning them and to be truthful, did not clean them every year.

My new place has fewer windows and are much easier to clean. No more climbing up on ladders either.

Yes, your picture is great and I'm serious - you should frame it! I do that with my own pics that I like. And actually, that's all I have on my walls, my own work! :)

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

19. Oh absolutely

and best is to have your b.day and housewarming party close to each other :rofl:

I have to climb on the ladder to clean mine. But at least I don't have to take them apart. I doubt I will clean then more than once or twice a year.

I have some photos on my wall - or will have again - but not all are mine. :)

[Callalily]

33. Oh, the "killing two birds

with one stone" party technique! That was very wise of you! ;)

I've got an errand to run before work, so wishing you a great day.

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

34. Have a great day too!!

:hug: :loveya:


and getting presents twice nevertheless :D

[AirmensMom]

24. Good morning, Misslily

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Glad you had such a nice birthday weekend ... and more celebrating to go! :bounce: That's the way to do it. :fistbump:

[Callalily]

32. Good morning AirmensMom!

Yes, celebrating with friends is always fun, and extending the celebration(s) is even better! ;)

Have an errand to run before work, so wishing you a great day!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[AirmensMom]

36. Have a great day!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[blueraven95]

44. Happy Birthday, Callalily

:party:

[AirmensMom]

23. Good morning, MissHC!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I'm glad you had a good weekend. Enjoying the sun on your balcony is why you bought your new place, after all. :toast:

Great pic! :bounce:

Andrew went home on Saturday. Sure was quiet after he left! I cleaned the basement a bit and watched some TV.

I mowed the lawn for the first time yesterday. No, my mower is STILL not fixed. Time for a letter to John Deere. It's a dangerous problem that's wrong with it -- doesn't shut off like it's supposed to when you get off the seat. x(

[MissHoneychurch]

25. Good morning AirmensMom

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

So the visit of Andrew wasn't too long. :)

Definitely a letter to John Deere. They better give you a new one since all the repairs didn't work.

How is C doing?

[AirmensMom]

28. Nope, not too long.

Enough to wear out his old grandma, though. ;)

That's what I'm thinking. And it takes an hour to drive it to the place since they closed the local one. Very big pain in the neck. And now that it's spring, I need the damn thing. Can't leave it there for them to tinker with when the mood hits them. And to think, I wanted to buy a Gator and a tractor one day. If this is a sample of their quality, they can keep it.

Not sure. He called Friday night wanting to fax us something, but we couldn't get the fax machine set up. So he said he'd mail it to us. K told me not to lose sleep worrying. I guess he's known a lot of people who have gone through the same thing. No word from E so I don't know if he's coming at all this week. If I'd known for sure that he wasn't coming, I might have slept in a bit. Been doing that all weekend! :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

29. You've been sleeping in??

Now there is something you need to do more often :D

C has his surgery tomorrow, right?

[AirmensMom]

30. Yep,

till about 7:00 - 7:30. Feels WONDERFUL! :bounce:

Yep. :scared: I asked him to have his wife call us. Not sure if she will ... she's a bit shy. :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

31. You call THAT sleeping in????

:wow:

~~VIBES for C~~~
He will be alright :hug:

[AirmensMom]

35. Compared to

waking up at 6:30, it is.

I could have slept a LOT later today. Haven't even done the litter boxes yet b/c I thought I'd see if I felt better after breakfast.

Thanks for the vibes. I hope he's OK. :hug:


Hey, good news ... I was puttering around with income tax. Got the federal finished and actually got the refund already. Then I remembered that TN has some strange income tax on interest and dividends. Well, guess what? I overpaid for two years! I thought the interest on the savings account was taxable, but it's not. The friend we used to have who is an accountant led me down the wrong path that first year. So not only do we not have to pay this year, but we get to amend our returns from the last 2 years and get some money back! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

37. Well yeah OK

but still I will never call 7.30am sleeping in ... considering this is my lastest getting out of bed time during the week :rofl:

YAY!!! Money is coming in :D

[AirmensMom]

38. I would LOVE to

sleep till 10:00 or so! But then I'd feel like I wasted the whole morning. :shrug: Just can't win.

Yep, as soon as I fill out the forms and send them in. Of course, the old forms are in the attic -- just took them up a few weeks ago. I need them in order to put in the right information. Won't be too hard to find them. :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

40. Then sleep till 9am

perfect time. You slept in AND you haven't wasted the morning :D

At least you know where the old forms are :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

54. I'll try that next weekend.

:thumbsup:

I THINK I know where they are ... assuming they're in the correct folders. :scared:

[MissHoneychurch]

60. I am sure they are

after all you sorted them in :)


So what are the plans for today, now that E showed up?

[AirmensMom]

61. You're probably right.

All I have to do is go upstairs and that would solve the mystery. :rofl:

Trim the ballroom and around the chimney and other trim work. Some of it has to wait till C makes arrangements for E to have the trailer key ... that's where the nail gun is.

[blueknight]

26. good ,morning ms honey

:hi: how are you? had a great weekend, temps in the 70's. today the high is in the low 40's. brrrrrrrrrr

[MissHoneychurch]

27. Good morning blueknight

:hi: :hug:

I am doing fine. I am in a very good mood considering it is Monday :) Guess the sun and the warm weather have something to do with it. In the mornings it is still chilly though.

[blueraven95]

43. Morning, AirmensMom!

How are you? :hug:

[AirmensMom]

53. Good morning, blueraven!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I'm fine, thanks. How are you? :hug:

[blueraven95]

55. I'm good

I wish the weekend was longer, though! :hug:

I have an all day class for work tomorrow, so I won't be around. I also have Friday off (it's a vacation day) so it's a short week for me. :woohoo:


:hug: When will we hear about C? You have to let me know however it goes.

[AirmensMom]

58. Join the crowd!

:hug:

Yay! I love short weeks! :bounce:

He called this morning ... and says he'll call tomorrow afternoon. We'll see about that. I'll let you know as soon as I hear something. :hug:

[blueraven95]

64. good

I'm sure he will be fine. :hug:

[AirmensMom]

65. *sigh*

I hope you're right. E is here today and he's worried sick about C. :(

[blueraven95]

66. I hope I'm right, too

but I'm pretty sure I am. :hug:

[Sky Masterson]

39. Good morning/afternoon MissH

Beautiful picture.
I barely did a thing this weekend.
I just sat around the house and chilled.
It was very nice. :hi: :hug: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

41. Good morning Sky

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Well, beside my window cleaning that is what I did too :D

A lazy weekend can be so relaxing after a long stressful week.

[blueraven95]

42. Good Afternoon, Miss H!

It sounds like you had a great weekend.


I still haven't cleaned my windows :rofl: But the weather was beautiful so I spent time on my porch.

My parents and one of my sisters came over on Saturday for lunch. We had a good time...and afterwards we went to the movies. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

45. Good morning blueraven

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Yes, I had a good time. And sounds like you did too. Did you watch the movie you wanted to? How was it?

[blueraven95]

46. I did see the movie I wanted to see

and I really liked it up until the last 20 minutes when the whole plot fell apart :(

Oh well.

[MissHoneychurch]

47. So would you recommend it?

and just leave 20 min before the end?

[blueraven95]

48. you could

:D


I don't know, seriously, if I would recommend it. There was a lot that was really good with it - the actors were great, the directing was good, the tone was interesting, but because the ending fell apart so drastically, it made the whole movie a "so what" film. As in, why did I bother to spend two hours of my life watching this. :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

49. Oh OK

i know that feeling. When I watched "Burn after reading" the first part was really funny. But when they started shooting each other I felt like :wtf: Didn't like the ending.

[blueraven95]

50. yeah, kind of like that

very disappointing.

[MissHoneychurch]

57. Sounds like

I can save the money for that movie then.

[blueraven95]

63. you might as well

oh well.

[Brewman_Jax]

51. G'day, MissH

:hi: :hug:

Back around to Monday. I did get some training and running, between rehearsal and getting ready for rehearsal. Maybe the week will give me a break and I can take off a day for my birthday.

Nice pic of the day, where is that?

[MissHoneychurch]

52. Good morning Brewman

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

When is your b.day?


I took the pic last year in the Black Forest near to where my mom lives.

[Brewman_Jax]

56. You had a fun weekend

B-day was last week. Looks like winter will be here for a couple of days, :scared: after days of rain. I'm ready for spring! :thumbsup:

[MissHoneychurch]

59. Then a belated Happy Birthday

:hug: :party:

Oh no!!! I am sweating here already :rofl:

[Brewman_Jax]

62. So will we

at the end of the week. :P

[bigwillq]

67. Morning!

I had a pretty good weekend. I worked all weekend but I was able to hang out with some old school friends on Friday and then went to a birthday party after work on Saturday!

:) :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

69. Good morning bigwillq

:hi: :hug:

Now that sounds like a perfect weekend - except the working part :)

[bigwillq]

71. But at least I am off today!

:) :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

74. That sure makes up

for not having a weekend :hi:

Any plans for your day off? :)

[bigwillq]

77. Naw, just gonna relax.

It'a a crappy day here, rainy. I may stay in all day! :)

[MissHoneychurch]

79. With weather like that

perfect plan :D

[Tuesday Afternoon]

68. Good Morning MissHc -

:loveya: :hug: :hi:

Lovely weekend. I do all my chores, too. Only a three day week for me - Yay!

[MissHoneychurch]

70. Good morning Tuesday

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

How did it work out with the applications?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

72. I will do those this week on Thursday and Friday.

I got some phone #'s and addresses of different companies. Some of my firends who have already left this company are setting things up for me where they work now.

[MissHoneychurch]

76. Oh goodie

glad you have such good friends who help you :hug:

Keep me updated!!!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

78. I will...

:hug: I probably will not post to you on Thurs/Fri. I will let you know something on FB.

[MissHoneychurch]

80. Alright

Sending ~~~VIBES~~~ your way that something will work out!!!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

81. Thanks

It is time to move on. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

82. If you are not happy at your recent job

absolutely.

[Droopy]

73. Hey Miss H. I don't know if you saw this or not, so I'm going to put it in here, too.

Thanks to a suggestion from the match-making MissHoneychurch, a woman I've been writing to for a while has finally given me her phone number. I met her on a dating site and had exchanged 31 e-mails with her and was about to give up. I talked to her for the first time yesterday and was very surprised to hear what she sounded like. From her e-mails I had gathered that she wasn't the most confident person. I'm not exactly Mr. Confidence myself. But she was very shy on the phone. We didn't have a very good conversation. I think she's a good person, and she's going through a hard time right now. I just need to find a way to make her feel more comfortable. She's going through a divorce and I think I'm the first guy to express an interest since that's happened.

[MissHoneychurch]

75. No, I didn't see that

thanks for letting me know. I was to ask about it when we talked earlier but figured I don't want to appear to nosy (which I am).

So good that she trusted you enough to give you her number. Maybe when you talk the next time the conversation will be better when she feels more at ease. :hug:

[Inchworm]

83. Happy Monday to you too

I need to do the windows around here too. Maybe one Saturday ;)

My weekend was ok. Work drama is getting on my nerves, but I have decided that I won't cave on a stance I'm taking and will deal with the consequences as they come.

I got a jar of some yum yum yummy strawberry brandy to have at the house. :9

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

84. Good morning Inchworm

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Why is there always drama at work, no matter where you work. We have some drama going on here too .... it starts to get annoying even though it doesn't involve me. Well it does involve me as being a member of the worker's association :crazy:

[Inchworm]

85. I'm coming to the conclusion that it is perspective differences

Humans are a trip. lol

Perspectives seem to be ok usually when common sense is applied...

Fire hot. Well, yes, but how hot. Should we try to cool down fire? Lets talk about ice instead. What fire? I stay away from fire and so should all. Fire is relatively hot.

I'm learning that common sense ain't so common :rofl:

:)

[MissHoneychurch]

86. ROFL

:crazy:

I like your attitude and perspective :D

[Inchworm]

87. So long as I can convince them

that in the end.. no matter how you see it.. fire will always be hot.

At this point, that would be a victory ;)

Have a super day MissHoneyC!

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

88. Have a great day yourself!!

:hug:

[Blue_Tires]

91. Schwartzwald?

[MissHoneychurch]

92. Yup

just without the T :)
