So.. what are you doing tonight?

[purr]

I'm making a batch of candles. Anyone want to buy one? :) Hubby is bartending down at the bar and my 2 yr old is throwing a fit cuz she doesnt want to go to bed (way past her 9 pm bed time). She wont go to bed until he comes home to give her a kiss and hug or she falls asleep waiting.

So yeah.. my friday night is boring. GO ME!

[RC]

1. The highlight of my evening is

replying to this thread.

[purr]

6. WOOHOO!! sounds like the highlight of my night!

[bigwillq]

2. I'm still at work.

Then I'm going to the bar.
Do you sell your candles?

[purr]

5. Yeah.. trying to start it up..

Have a website in creation. Custom made candles and other good smelly stuff. My house smells soooooo goooooood! Making mocha coffee scented candles tonight.

[bigwillq]

9. That's cool.

Make sure you post a link to your site when it's up and running. I'm sure some of us kind DUers would buy stuff.

[purr]

12. Will do! They're all soy candles so natural and clean burning too.

[bigwillq]

15. NICE!

Hey, is your cat one of those hairless ones?:shrug:

[purr]

19. YUP! Shes a Sphynx. I'm actually adopting one from a Sphynx rescue

based out in Ohio this week. Hes a 2 yr old that has been passed around because no one wants to put up with his demanding attention (cant be any worse than my sphynx now) and the one guy who had him his wife made him get rid of the cat because he was too high maintenance for her. Have to bathe, clean ears, nails, etc. on a weekly basis. So I decided to give him a permanent home where he can live his life out happy and care free.

[bigwillq]

23. I think they're cool looking

But now I guess people are trying to breed them on purpose (to make money of course) instead of letting nature take its course.

[purr]

26. They are a natural genetic mutation from what I gathered..

Breeding them still can produce cats with fur.. Mine has fur on her tail and legs.. you can see a little on her face. She grew it after I got her fixed. The cat I'm adopting has a full face of fur but bald everywhere else.

They are a different breed of cat.. both in looks and personality. So friendly too.. I dont think theres a mean sphynx out there.

[Ekirh]

3. Watching Baseball

Braves versus Orioles.... and eating cake with a glass of milk.

Also I.Ming a few friends.. try to have a get together for pizza and batman begins tomorrow. My Friend Rachel currently has no television or internet hooked up right now (A friend moved out and the T.V was his... the the internet company is taking their time) So we're getting her out of the house so she can at least watch a movie :).

[purr]

11. What good friends ! :)

What kind of cake? Sounds good.. might make one tomorrow. Not like I need any but sounds yummy about now.

[Ekirh]

36. simple cake..

But simple is good.. white cake with white frosting.. My Grandma just pokes her head in my room and goes.. you're getting cake don't argue. Of course I didn't aruge heheh.

[purr]

39. Dont argue about cake! :)

[Teaser]

4. getting the silent treatment.

man oh man...

[purr]

20. Oh no.. in the dog house eh? I put hub in it this week too..

I give him the nasty look silent treatment. Then he finally caves and I blow up. Damn hormones.

[Teaser]

67. I wouldn't mind

except this time I'm actually right. 100% right.
That's part of what's bugging her. I know she knows I'm right.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

7. I made some guac, and I'm relaxing watching 3 baseball games at once

actually now only 2. The Red Sox won, now I'm flipping between the Mets/Yanks game and the Orioles/Braves game.

[purr]

17. Quac? Whats that? Guacamole I'm assuming?

That is goooood.. mm.. making me hungry here.. Cake.. Guacamole.. Whats next? Someones going to post about having a beer and I'm going to melt since I havent had one going on 8 months aaaa.

10. That doesn't sound boring to me.

If you think about it, being around a two-year-old can be exhausting, frustrating, or a bunch of other things, but it's rarely boring.

Right?

Redstone

[purr]

14. No.. shes not the boring part. She keeps me going and going and going..

I feel like the energizer bunny until she goes to bed. Only can post when shes either very occupied or sleeping. I have her laying right next to me and I put a cooking show on. She misses her step daddy tucking her in :)

[Redstone]

Having a two-year-old kind of forces you to live like they do,

doesn't it? Ninety miles an hour until you collapse into bed.

Enjoy it while you can.

Redstone

[purr]

38. Oh I eat it up... I am dreading when I go back to work..

I also have a 4 yr old who just had to stay down his grandparents tonight. Every weekend he goes and stays fri & sat night. Between the both of them its total chaos :)

I just melt when she goes luv u mommy! and gives me a big sloppy 2 yr old kiss.. Diaper changes I could do w/o but everything else is just great about her :) My 4 yr old is a sweetheart except when I tell him no.

[texas1928]

13. Well I made you tinkle a little.

SO that has to be fun.

[purr]

16. LOL true true...

My 2 yr old saw that and was like FART! lol. Sigh... shes hilarious.

[texas1928]

18. OH NO!!

I corrupted a child.

How can I live with myself?


:evilgrin:

[purr]

22. LOL she wanted to see what was so funny...

If it was dirty I'd shut it off but that was relatively minor and she got a kick out of the noises.

[texas1928]

27. I would not post anything dirty.

I am an angel.

:evilgrin:

[purr]

29. LOL!

Ooo I think shes getting bored watching foodtv with me.. Starting to close the eyes!

[texas1928]

30. Put it on th Golf channel

she will be out like a light.

[purr]

34. So would I lol. I have to wait until my wax cools down so I can add

my fragrance. He didnt give her a kiss tonight before he left - she was pre-occupied with her coloring book so he just said bye and she grunted at him and said BYE real short. So now she was calling for him and not the happiest camper.. keeps saying daddy kiss good night. Soo cute.. I could smack him tho.. I dont like her being up this late but she'll fight me tooth and nail so theres nothing wrong with her on my lap falling asleep imo :) too cute!

[KG]

21. living vicariously thru the cool lounge people.

since i have no life.

[purr]

24. I hear ya..

after 2 going on 3 kids I dont have a life either.. I need to get my mom to watch the kids for a day coming up so I can go out and do something for once. Course I'll end up feeling bad about leaving the kids at home for a couple hours and come back early.

[jaxx]

25. I'm going to work at 10 pm.

3rd shift.......but it's my last night this week.

[purr]

Have a good work night! I couldnt do 3rd shift..

I would be passing out and yawning constantly.. Course I'm usually sleeping by 10.

[jaxx]

40. Thanks

I work 4 10hr. nights and get 3 days off, so it's worth it. Seems like we night owls do best on 3rd shift........up late anyway. I'd lots rather be already up at 7am than have to get up and be there at that time. :)

[Cobalt Violet]

28. Cooking and Eating.

I raided the cheap $1.00 produce quick sale markdowns . I got lots of veggies and fruit. I got a humongous pineapple and huge papaya.
4 Eggplants, 7 peppers, 6 zucchini, 8 summer squash,3 tomatoes, 8 portabellas, 2 cauliflower heads, 5 artichokes.

I just went in to the store to get some peaches that were on sale and I walked out with tons of stuff. I'm just roasting up all the veggies with some onions and I'll eat them with my meals for the week.

[purr]

31. Your cat is beautiful!!!! Love the pose hes in!

Its just saying TAKE MY PICTURE NOOOOW! Looks very demanding and gets his way :)

Your veggie shop sounds delicious.. mmmm.. I'm definatley going to get something to munch on with all this food in the thread. I have some asparagus thats screaming to be cooked. It'll keep me up all night with bad heartburn but oh is it worth it!

[SOteric]

32. Thanks for asking.

I'm currently making a little dinner, chatting on ICQ with a DUer who shall rename nameless unless he names himself, making lemon blueberry pound cake and exuding steam over the delay UPS has caused my package, sodding eejits.

[purr]

35. I had a package sitting at the UPS station for 2 days because they couldnt

find it argh. It said online it was there but they just couldnt find it. Good thing it wasnt something valuable or I would've been real ticked off.

omg.. pound cake.. mmm.. I'm putting on 20 lbs just listening to all the food in here!

[SOteric]

43. We're pretty darned food addicted around these parts,

but darned if you can't get some great recipes and cooking tips at DU!

[purr]

46. I know! I have a word document with some really good ones I found

I must try them when I get a chance..

[kohodog]

33. I must be out of sorts

In trouble at home and had a post deleted in GD. Not locked, just deleted. I thought it was kind of funny, but I guess I'm not in a good humor given all the bs going down in this country and maybe my "humor" went over the top for someone.

cheers.

[purr]

42. Must be one of those nights eh?

I can laugh about almost anything funny.. not much offends me. After having kids I dont take things to heart that much - too much to worry about now!

[Left Is Write]

37. So far...

I have organized clothes and other items for vacation, cleaned the kitchen, finished the laundry, edited a paper for my husband, and collected some garbage. Oh - I also made a grocery list.

Eventually, I will have something to eat after the kids are in bed, then I'll watch Iron Chef. It's Battle Eel tonight.

How's that for exciting?

[purr]

45. Eel battle! I gotta see this..

Been flipping through the channels since she pretty much out on my lap. Getting lots of contractions too so I'm upping my water intake.

Where you going good if you dont mind me asking? I havent been on vacation in over 5 years now.. Thinking of taking the kids on a disney cruise next year. Have the inlaws watch the baby since he'll be too young and take my would be then 5 & 3 yr old.

[Left Is Write]

51. Minnesota.

We're from there and have family there.

How far along are you?

[purr]

54. Have a good time!

I'm 30 weeks.. have to hang on another 6. I have pills from my ob to combat the contractions but I read that they can cause brain damage and other problems so I take them ONLY when they start becoming timeable. I dont think I drank enough water today so I'm hoping this stops after my water intake tonight.

[Left Is Write]

57. The water should help.

Dehydration is a common cause of contractions at that stage. Are you prone to premature labor? I hope the little one stays put for a few more weeks.

All three of my kids were born one day before 40 weeks.

[purr]

58. Was in the hospital at 26 weeks.. my other 2 I delivered at 36 weeks

exactly. My son was the worst.. I was in the hospital at LEAST 2x a month after my 5th month with preterm labor. He has a 90% chance of survival right now with medical intervention but I rather avoid that route if at all possible.

It feels like he dropped already.. my belly isnt as round as it was last week. I go to the dr on monday so I get to find out whats going on. He might just be like his father - rather impatient :)

[bridgit]

41. we're home for the evening as well...

just :kick: guess we're :boring: too oh well ~

[purr]

47. Enjoy the evening! I'm starting to zzz as well

[ghostsofgiants]

44. Not a damn thing

So very bored.

[purr]

48. I hear ya.. starting to get sleepy here. Eyes are heavy ugh.

[youthere]

49. We just got back from dinner....

our Friday night ritual. Tonight we went to an all u can eat fish buffet. I had the broiled walleye, ate waaaaaay too much but damn it was good.

[purr]

52. mmmm.... more food mmm... Have a jar of roasted red peppers and a salad

with balsamic dressing just screaming for me right now.

[youthere]

61. oh yummy..

that would have gone perfect with the walleye!

[Left Is Write]

53. Mmmm! I love walleye.

[youthere]

60. me too...

I love most fish, but walleye is one of my favorites. I could eat fish every night of the week.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

50. I have no power on my boat tonight...

no t.v., no, radio, no fridge. I have hooked up with a neighbor and incredibly I can get through to DU tonight. Last night I went to bed at eight because there was nothing else to do after dark. Tonight with the help of a neighbor I figured out how to hook up with
DU. I opened a bottle of wine and am celebrating. So in candlelight and flashlight...long live DU!

[purr]

55. Have a glass of wine for me :)

Whats wrong with the power? Hopefully you can get it back up and running shortly!

Sounds pretty romantic though.. candles.. wine.. and DU :)

[tinfoilinfor2005]

62. not too bad...but I keep tripping over everything

I guess I hoped the problem would be resolved by today. But certainly manageable. Oh well, I live on a boat in the tropics by choice and I love it. But once in a while there is a glitch...
Thanks...oh yeah, lots of candles and wine...just hard to get to the damn head because it is so damn dark, despite the damn candles which could cause a damn fire if I damn trip...
Oh, sorry...
:)

[purr]

64. oh my... it must be beautiful there!!

Lights or no lights.. I'd be LOVING it!

Dont ignite your boat! Whats the weather like btw?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

72. actually the weather has been perfect

some rain, some humidity, but lots of cool breezes. And I do love summer in the Keys...there is a constant wind from the tropical systems and the colors in the skies are amazing. (shhhh, don't pass it on, enough tourists down here as it is...)

[Maestro]

56. I'm a daddy of a three and five year old.

I completely understand your night. Along with having fun with my kids I am finishing several reports for a certification I am working on for my job.

[purr]

59. Isnt it fun? :) I honestly wouldnt give it up for the world..

It has to be the most rewarding part of my life. I'm sure I'll be changing my mind come teenage years :)

[Maestro]

63. Well we'll be there more or less at the same time.

I'll have two teenagers just 22 months apart. Help!

[purr]

66. We're definately insane..

then comes college.. owww.. I dont want them to leave :(

[Maestro]

71. My girl starts kindergarten in August.

Luckily my wife got a job as a teacher in our hometown so she will be attending the same school as my wife. It is hard to let go.

[swag]

65. I can't remember.

I'm sure it's Number Good.

[purr]

68. Number good?

[swag]

69. "How come you no have bhat?

At boxing you die!"

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

70. I'm reinstalling an entire XP system

including a full software package, on a computer that was trashed by a virus.

What fun. I can barely restrain myself. :sarcasm:

It's a living.

[purr]

74. I hear ya..

I have my deg in comp sci and for some reason my neighbors think I'm a free technical support line. The one neighbor I dont mind helping - shes done a ton of things tohelp me out so I'll help her out, but the others? pfft.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

75. Alas for me-- I AM a technical support line

I own a one-man computer repair business. At least it's fairly easy on me-- my workshop is in the room next where I live.

[Pale Blue Dot]

73. Pining.

I love that word. I can't understand why it isn't used more often.

But yeah. Tonight I'm pining.
