I'm back

[MissHoneychurch]

after a long weekend :D

I had a great time and I hope you did too :hi:

Now I have to work for 4 days and next Monday and Tuesday I am off again. Now that is what I call short working weeks. :bounce:

Any comments? :evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

1. How about:

Envy.
Jealousy.

Actually, glad you had a good time, and I can't be to jealous, as next week I only work two days, and the week after I only work 3 days -- I'm going on vacation on the 12th!! Can't wait!

[MissHoneychurch]

5. That is wonderful

how about that: the week after next I won't be at work, but I am going to a training for Server 2003. No work at all. :P

[SeattleGirl]

8. Wow!

Great for you. :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Yeah, I am looking forward to it

I enjoy working with computers (even though that isn't my job) and I have been asked at my workplace to help out our computer guy. That is why I am going to attend that training.

[SeattleGirl]

34. That's cool.

Nice when you get new opportunities at work!

[MissHoneychurch]

35. well, it doesn't really bring me more money

but in case I look for a new job it looks good on the resumee. And that is worth a lot too.

[SeattleGirl]

37. More money is definitely nice

But learning new stuff is a good thing (sheesh, I sound like Martha), and it is nice to be able to get away from the normal routine of work now and then.

[MissHoneychurch]

38. that is true

I enjoy learning new things. And learning more about computer is definitely a good thing

did you check out some of the books I told you about?

[SeattleGirl]

39. Not yet

Been too sick to concentrate on much of anything but the DU Lounge. But I saved your PM, and will definitely look into these. We have this totally cool bookstore in Seattle that specializes in different fields, and Native American books are a big part of their inventory. I'll be heading over there in a couple of weeks.

[MissHoneychurch]

40. sounds like I need to come to Seattle

that sure sounds like a great bookstore for me :)

[SeattleGirl]

41. Any time, MissHoneyChurch,

any time. Bet we'd have a ball. There are several other bookshops that are also totally cool.

[MissHoneychurch]

42. I guess that would mean

I only come with a pair of Jeans and a sweater, the rest of the allowed weight on airplanes is reserved for books :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

43. You got that right!!!!!

:rofl:

[WCGreen]

2. All that liberal German socialism we keep hearing about....

Great to have you back MHC....

[MissHoneychurch]

6. well it WAS our national holiday yesterday

the "Day of the German Reunion". Not that I know why they chose THAT day, but hey, who am I to complain about a day off :)

It is great to be back. I missed you guys. Seems like I missed a lot of action this weekend.

[gmoney]

59. Welcome back!

>> Seems like I missed a lot of action this weekend.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Welcome back, my dear MissHoneychurch!

I"m so glad you had a lovely long weekend! You work hard and you deserve some great time off........

Good to see you, as always!


:loveya: :hug:

[enigmatic]

4. Welcome back!

I'm in the middle of a long run at work, but after Wednesday I've got 5 days off to take me through Thanksgiving, and I can't wait..

[MissHoneychurch]

7. what will you do during your week off?

how is the second job going?

[enigmatic]

14. It's going very, very well

I know the job inside and out, and that's 70 percent of the battle.

Mrs E and I are going to a local wrestling show Saturday; the guy who runs it wants to do a radio show on the station, and we're going to talk about that and hang out. Monday is Thanbksgiving here in Canada, so we'll be feasting on Hutterite Chicken and all the trimmimgs. And we have to do laundry, which I have to do while Mrs E is at work. Ugh...:)

[MissHoneychurch]

17. you have Thanksgiving that early in Canada?

I didn't know that. What is Hutterite Chicken?

Laundry .... ugh .... I hate doing it. But it has to be done. and I have no one who I can put it on. I have to do it all by myself. The curse of living alone :)

That would be great for you if you could do that show.

[enigmatic]

31. yep

We have it on what would be Columbus Day in the US; Mrs E insists on celebrating both Thanksgivings so I get to keep my US one, too:)

Hutterite Chickens are are raised by the Hutterite Colonies up here:

http://www.hutterites.org/

They have a number of colonies in Alberta; the chickens are essentially free-range chickens that are enormous for chickens; 10-12 pounds for the most part. And man are they good...

[MissHoneychurch]

36. Now that is unfair

you have two Thanksgiving, I have none :cry:

That are really BIG chicken.

[Robeson]

9. Welcome back! And you're always missed....

...but then again, I'm an unabashed MissHoneychurch groupie, so, I'm not exactly unbiased here... ;-)

[MissHoneychurch]

13. I don't mind at all that you are biased here

and just for you a big smile

[Robeson]

16. Yea! A big MissHoneychurch smile, just for me!....

...life is good!...:)

[MissHoneychurch]

18. picture was taken Sunday

being at a bowling alley and me losing :eyes:

And you deserve a smile for being such a sweetheart :loveya:

[NMMNG]

11. Cool!

:thumbsup:

Nice to have you back.

[WCGreen]

12. Oh so now you come back, right when I'm ready to go to bed...

[NMMNG]

22. Yeah, I did it on purpose you know

;-)

[MissHoneychurch]

15. Hey there

how you doing :hi:

[NMMNG]

21. Not too bad

I have four more days of work (including tonight), then I'm off for 10 days! I'll be heading up to Provincetown for Women's Week.

[MissHoneychurch]

24. Women's Week?

what is going on there? Party for a week? :D

[NMMNG]

33. That's when hundreds, if not thousands of lesbians descend on P-town

for a week of festivities. I've never been but my friends say it is the greatest.

[neweurope]

19. Hi MissHoneychurch!

Yes, I had a nice weekend, too... we discovered an old pub that looks exactly as it must have looked 150 years ago, in Reinheim... But to-day the weather is so bad I would like to spend the day in bed *sigh*

----------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[MissHoneychurch]

23. How are you?

I have the bad feeling I catched a cold. Going on rides at the Stuttgart Octoberfest in rain isn't such a good idea. But I had fun :D

Guess fall has finally arrived. Could have done without it longer.

There is a really nice pub near where I live. Haven't been in a while but it has really good guiness :9

[neweurope]

26. So make sure you take your Vit C and Zinc

I don't even want to leave the house to-day.

----------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[MissHoneychurch]

28. Sage drops and hot tea

and Angocin. That normally helps if I take it at the first signs of a cold. But it might be that I started to late this time. I will see.

I can understand why you don't want to leave the house. I would have stayed tucked in bed if it wouldn't have been for work.

[billyskank]

20. Hi MissH

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

25. Hi billyskank

:hi:

how are you today?

[billyskank]

27. I'm ok thanks!

How is your first day back at work!

[MissHoneychurch]

29. Well, I am here since about an hour

and I can't say I worked much so far ... but I will start ... uhhh .... now????

[billyskank]

30. Go for it!

:evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

32. uhhh .... that is the plan

sometime today :evilgrin:

[billyskank]

44. Best not to jump into things rashly

:)

[MissHoneychurch]

45. for sure not on the first day after a long weekend

:D

my brain is still half in the weekend.

[In_The_Wind]

46. not a bad gig ...

you earned it so enjoy the perks of the job


BTW - I missed the heck outta you

[MissHoneychurch]

48. I missed chatting with you too

but I am back now till Friday. I will leave right after work then, my mom will pick me up and then we hit the road to Potsdam

[In_The_Wind]

50. I'm still getting over the DC Flu!

I'm not sure what I will be doing this week-end since I canceled the Woodstock meet-up.

I'm glad your going places with your Mom.

I think I'm going to start looking for mine. I have a feeling that I have some brothers or sisters that I've never met.

[MissHoneychurch]

51. well, it is birthday time again from my grandmas

80 and 85. My moms mom wants to have her party on Monday and she wants us to cook. That means a lot of preparation the days before. My brother and I will drive to the other grandma Sunday.

You don't have contact to your mother? Sorry to hear that.

[In_The_Wind]

52. Life can be pretty sucky without your grandmothers.

I'm happy for you that you've been able to grow up with their love.

My mother was born in Ohio. It's very possible that she returned to her family when she left my father 55 years ago so it seems like a logical place to start looking.

[MissHoneychurch]

54. yes I was very lucky

as a child I had all 4 of them. My granddads died in 1988 and 1996. And I had a great grandmother too. She died in 1993. She turned 95.

Do you think your mother is still alive?

[In_The_Wind]

55. That was really great for you!

She may be but she would be 81 if she is. I'm curious about what she did with the rest of her life.

[Clintmax]

47. Morning, Miss Honey!

:hug:
I'm glad you had a good time! I did too!

[MissHoneychurch]

49. morning

that is always good to hear that you had a great time too. So did you go to Seaworld or shopping?

[Clintmax]

53. Shopping!

I decided to stay in Tallahassee. Lots of work to do around this house too, don'tcha know.

[GOPisEvil]

56. Welcome back!

:hi:

I was wondering where you had gone off to.

[MissHoneychurch]

57. hey there

well, I wasn't gone THAT long, but it is good to know that I was missed.

How are you? :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

58. Eh, I'm ok.

Allergies acting up, but aside from that, life is good.

[MissHoneychurch]

60. I am lucky enough not to have allergies

what are you allergic to?

[GOPisEvil]

I didn't have allergies until I moved here.

I think ragweed and mold are the worst, but mountain cedar is bad too.

[Brewman_Jax]

61. Welcome back

:hug: Where'd you go and did you have fun?

I'm going on vacation soon, too.

[MissHoneychurch]

62. I was in Stuttgart

visitng a friend and some others came by also. We had a great time. Going to the club, to the Octoberfest, bowling, dinner together .... we had a good time.

Where are you going on vacation?

[Brewman_Jax]

63. West Coast

to Los Angeles to see my old stomping grounds and friends. Would have gone earlier, but trying to link schedules is a pain. I'm running out of time in the year to go.
