Good Monday Morning, Crew!

[Clintmax]

Welcome to the Monday edition of the Early Morning Crew thread! :bounce: I hope you had a fantastic weekend filled with fun and relaxation! :woohoo: I worked on Saturday, and it was a busy day, but I had Sunday off and really didn't do ANYTHING except go get a new cell phone. On Saturday our General Manager had a dinner party at her house for two of our associates whose last day was Saturday. Both are music students and are moving to Texas to begin their Masters degree programs! We had a very nice time, and the food her husband cooked was fantastic! :bounce:

Greekspeak and his father are still on their cross country trip! They're both having a really fun time and I talk to him often to see where they are and what's going on. I wish I could have gone with them.

And so today begins another work week. I don't have another day off until Saturday because I have this upcoming weekend off! :woohoo: I'm thinking that these five days are going to go by quickly because the Clearance Sale continues and I'm so busy I don't have time to worry about what time it is! I can't wait!

I was Mister Procrastination yesterday. :rofl: I got my clothes all sorted and gathered to take over to the laundromat, but I waited and waited, (I really didn't want to go over to that freaking place) until it was TOO late to go. So, I've GOT to go this morning before I have to be to work. x( Else I'm not going to have clothes to wear to work.

So, let's get this day started, my crew! Time to rise and shine!

2. Aw, just wear the clothes you wore yesterday.

[Clintmax]

3. Good Morning, Hissy!

:hi::rofl:
I don't think they'd appreciate me coming to work in shorts, no shirt and sandals. :rofl:

[Hissyspit]

6. Man, you're really out of clothes, aren't you?

I did my laundry yesterday.

[Clintmax]

7. Yes, I am.

And I SHOULD have done mine yesterday too. At least it won't be nearly as crowded this morning as I'm sure it was yesterday afternoon.

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Good morning Clint

I had a wonderful weekend. Saturday we went to the Lake Constance. My dad's grave was tended well (*not to myself - need to call gardener*) and then we went on a ship tour on one part of the lake. My mom's bf gave me his shirt otherwise I would have gotten a BAD sunburn. Thanks R. WE took pics with his digi cam and he promised to email me those pics. Then I can show some to you.

Yesterday we slept in (which wasn't possible Saturday) and then went to the pool in the afternoon. We read, swam and just relaxed. I was more in the shadows than in the sun.

My train was about 10 to 15 min late when I got back and I barely missed my subway so I had to wait another 20 min till the next came x(

All in all I had a wonderful weekend :)

[Clintmax]

5. Good Morning, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug:
It's good to see you today! :bounce: I'm glad you had such a good time with your Mom and her BF! It's good to get away and relax! You deserve it! And I can't wait to see those pictures! :woohoo:

[MissHoneychurch]

8. What is the matter here

I just left to go outside for 20 minutes and no one posted??? Where is everybody???? Well, beside billyskank, we know where he is :D

[Clintmax]

9. I've been wondering the same thing.

I don't know where everybody is. :shrug: Well, I know where Billy is, but the rest?? :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Strange, very strange

maybe they are all asleep.

I am glad that you showed up though.

[Clintmax]

11. Maybe they are.

AirmensMom will be around shortly but hopefully the rest will too.

[MissHoneychurch]

12. And SimplyF

:D

[Clintmax]

13. Yes, she'll be here too!

:bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

15. I always look forward to her posts

and of course also MissAirmens and yours and and and ....

[Clintmax]

17. So do I!

I talked to Swimboy on the phone yesterday for a few minutes! It was great to hear his voice! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

18. Cool

I look forward to meet you and the others.

Robeson, swimboy, wildhorses, MissAirmens, Lurking_Argyle, GOPisEvil, Joani of course (she has to keep up with me for 3 weeks after all ... LOL).

[Clintmax]

19. Greekspeak is going to get to meet him!

He's on his way to Swimboy's city and will be there on Saturday! I'm SO MUCH looking forward to meeting you too! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

20. Lucky greekspeak

:)

6 weeks till I come. I need to make a schedule with Joani.

[Clintmax]

21. 6 weeks!

Wow! Time is passing quickly! Yes, it's probably time to get your schedule together.

[MissHoneychurch]

22. Joani knows how long it takes us

to get somewhere. I don't!!!

And I want also to visit my former guest family in Davidson, NC and a good friend near Raleigh, NC.

[Clintmax]

25. It will be wonderful to see everyone again!

I'm sure! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

27. Oh yes

AND I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


:bounce:

[Clintmax]

28. Me either!

It's SO exciting! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

32. Can you believe it

we talk here daily for such a long time already and seen pics of each other. And now finally we going to meet face to face.

Esp. after what happened with M. I am so looking forward to see my friends.

[Clintmax]

33. Yes, I know...it will be good to see you!

AND give you a BIG hug! :bounce: Swimboy and I said the same thing yesterday. We've talked so much together here on DU and it was good to finally hear each others voices!

[MissHoneychurch]

34. I hope you will understand me

I talk rather fast and my German shines through my English big times ... LOL

[Clintmax]

42. I'm sure I won't have any problem.

I just hope you'll be able to understand ME! :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

46. I'm used to the Southern drawl

Yes sir :rofl:

[Clintmax]

50. I don't have TOO much of that.

But maybe just a little. :rofl: Time to get to the laundromat, Miss Honey. I'll talk to you again in the morning!

[MissHoneychurch]

55. Enjoy the washing

:rofl:

See ya tomorrow. I wish you a great day, after the big chore of doing the laundry is done

:hug:

[Callalily]

26. Morning MissH

You certainly had a fun filled weekend. So much time at the lake! I'm jealous! I love boat excursions like that. One just has to sit back and relax, someone else does all the hard stuff.

I'm not feeling real well this morning. Have a summer cold with a sore throat. If I didn't have to go into work today, I think I'd just stay home and rest. But I'm hoping to leave early, so that should help.

[MissHoneychurch]

30. Good morning Simply

sorry to hear that you are sick. A cold alone is nasty, but a summer cold should be forbidden

:hug: Get well soon!!!! Understood :)


The boat tour was wonderful and at the end we sat on the lake front in one of those beautiful towns and had a great dinner.

[Callalily]

35. Thanks for the

kind words . . . much appreciated.

Those towns are beautiful! Must have been wonderful just sitting, eating, and relaxing. Wouldn't it be nice to do that all of the time?

I'm going to head out now. Maybe if I get an early start I'll be able to leave work earlier.

Wishing you a great day.

[MissHoneychurch]

40. You have a good day too

hope you can leave early to get well faster

:pals:

[AirmensMom]

58. Hi MissHC!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I'm glad you had such a good weekend and that your dad's grave was in nice shape! :loveya: Your pics are gorgeous! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

63. Those aren't mine

my mom's bf hasn't emailed them to me yet :)

I just googled those.

Believe me, my mom and I were VERY reliefed when we saw that the grave was in good shape. We were really scared.

[AirmensMom]

68. No kidding?

I thought he was just REALLY fast -- you said he was going to email them and *poof* there they were. :rofl:

I can imagine how relieved you both were. You were concerned about it. Now you know you can trust your gardener. :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

70. Yes, now we know

and now I need to call him and pay him :rofl: ... Oh wait, my brother wanted to do that!!! :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

73. If your brother wants to do it,

who are you to argue? :shrug: :rofl:

Friday after we signed our contract, we went to an outdoor BBQ restaurant for lunch. Just after we sat down, the lady from the builder's office showed up with her bf. So we invited them to join us and she insisted on paying. Well, considering the check we had just written to her, we didn't think $30 was going to break her, so we let her pay. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

76. Good to hear that you signed the contract

And no, you shouldn't feel bad because she paid :)

Was the BBQ any good?

[AirmensMom]

81. OMG, it was delicious!

And the prices were very reasonable. I've wanted to try them ever since we got here, but I didn't want to go alone. My stomach growled the entire time we were at the builder's (the meeting started at 11:00AM, almost lunch time), so I couldn't wait to eat! We'll have to go there when you come. :9

Yep, I'm relieved that we have a contract. They're going to pull the permits this week and start doing things. She said it'll be about 3 weeks before it actually LOOKS like they're doing anything, though. I'm SO excited! Maybe we'll have enough of a driveway to be able to go over and see it when you're here. :bounce: (My car can't make it through the field otherwise -- too many booby traps for a low-riding car.)

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. Clintmax! It feels as if I haven't talked to you in AGES!!

:hug: :loveya:

PassingFair's daughter hung out with us all weekend. She goes by WannaBePassingFair when she posts here with my daughter, WannaBeGrumpy. We had a lot of fun playing games like Scatergories and 20 Questions. I highly recommend hanging out with well behaved teenagers. It has a way of making you feel young. My daughter also drove (yikes!) me to the grocery store last night, and as we were driving home said,"I love hanging out with you..." Not too shabby, getting that from a 16 year old.

Have a GREAT day! :hug:

[Clintmax]

16. Good Morning, MrsG!

:hi::hug::bounce:
It HAS been a long time! It's great to see you today! :woohoo::loveya: Sounds like you had a great time with the teenagers! Yes, that's a good way to feel younger...and the BEST part is they had fun with YOU too! :bounce: I hope you have a great day too, my dear! :hug:

[Callalily]

23. Morning Clint!

So procrastinating about your laundry - now you're in a bind. :rofl: Oh well . . . I didn't do anything yesterday either, but I have a good excuse. Somehow got a summer cold and with a sore throat to boot! Didn't sleep well last night, and hopefully I can leave work early today to continue recuperation.

Glad to hear Greekspeak is having a good time. It's nice that he's able to spend so much time with his Dad.

[Clintmax]

24. Good Morning, Miss SimplyF!

:hi::hug:
Yes...I procrastinated myself into a mess, that's for sure. :rofl: So, now I have to go this morning. I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling good, my dear. :hug: I hate being sick. I hope it goes away quick!

[Callalily]

29. Yes I do too . . .

Yesterday it was really bad, and I didn't get much sleep last night. It's the throat thing that's the worst. I keep wondering though, do I reinfect myself when I brush my teeth? Ever think about that? Well . . . when I'm feeling better, I'd using a new toothbrush, just in case. :rofl:

It's a hot one again today. Been having record or near record temps the last few days. As much as I like the heat, it was just a tad bit to hot for me.

Ick . . . laudramat this morning. Doesn't sound like much fun. :cry:

[Clintmax]

31. Going to that damned laundromat is NEVER fun.

That's why I didn't want to go yesterday. x( I never thought about re-infecting oneself from a toothbrush. Is that possible? :shrug:

[Callalily]

37. The toothbrush thing?

I don't know if it's possible, but I'm not going to take any chances. I'm starting to feel really bad again, so I'm going to head into work now. Maybe then I'll be able to leave earlier. ?

Wishing you a great day, even though part of it will be spent at that nasty laundromat.

[Clintmax]

43. I hope you get to feeling better!

Try to have a good day at work and I hope you DO get to leave early! :hug::hi:

[swimboy]

36. Great good morning to you, Clintford!

I'm running on all cylinders this morning, so far! I went swimming and the pool was just full of very fit men. It's not usually that way.

I'm looking forward to hearing from Greekspeak and meeting him in the course of his travels. It was GREAT talking to you yesterday! :hug:

Have a great day, and take care of the clothes situation. That's the wrong way to clear the store! :rofl:

[Clintmax]

39. Good Morning, Swimboy!

:hi::hug:
It was SO good to talk to you yesterday too, Man! :bounce: I bet it was a LOT more fun at the pool today, sexy guys and all! :woohoo::bounce::rofl: I gave him your number, so if he hasn't called yet, he will. He's looking forward to seeing you too! I'm going to leave for the laundromat here shortly, yes.

[MissHoneychurch]

44. Good morning swimboy

a pool of very fit men? YUMMY ... LOL


:hi:

[swimboy]

45. It's a nice way to wake up!

:hi: It's good to see you!

[MissHoneychurch]

48. Same here

good to see you too. And soon in RL :D

[riona]

38. Fl check-in

Our regular answering machine phone broke too. Gee and I was saying how long it had lasted - the kiss of death, I guess. Got one with 3 receivers, all with chargers for $69 dollars. For someone who isn't much of a phone person, I'm well equipped. I take it the maid didn't show to do your laundry?

[Clintmax]

41. Good Morning, Miss Flblu!

:hi:
No, she didn't. x( So, I have to go do it myself. :rofl: I collect the old rotary phones from the 60's and 70's. Remember them? Where you actually have to DIAL a number? THAT'S what you need! They NEVER break!

[riona]

51. The old phones

seemed to last forever, but people get aggravated if you don't have an answering machine. My ugly old-fashioned table phone lasts and lasts, but I'm constantly replacing the digital one.

[Minnesota Libra]

47. Good Monday Morning to everyone hope..................

....your weekend was great.

My weekend was spent inside avoiding that horrid heat outside. I ventured out of my apartment yesterday evening and could only tolerate about ten minutes or so. The heat and humidity were so oppressive I could hardly breath. We're supposed to get some relief today - and I certainly hope so because right now it is 88 degrees at this time of morning with a 61 percent humidity.

Let's not be nice by letting idiot boy off the hook today.:puke: Remind all those neocons that idiot boy isn't sending a representative to the ME to negotiate a peace as ALL predecessors have done - including Clinton.:applause:

[Clintmax]

49. Good Morning, Minnesota!

:hi:
I hope you DO get some relief from that heat today!

[Clintmax]

52. Time to get over to the laundromat, my crew.

I don't WANT to go, but I have to. I hope you have a great Monday and I'll see you again in the morning! Take care of each other! :bounce::grouphug:

Clint

[AirmensMom]

54. Crap!

I just missed you! x( Well, hope to see you tomorrow. :hug:

[Clintmax]

57. No, you JUST caught me!

:rofl:

[AirmensMom]

62. Lucky me!

:loveya: :hug: :grouphug:

[AirmensMom]

53. Good morning, Clintmax!

:donut: :hi: :hug:

Better late than never, I suppose. The kitties let me sleep in a little this morning.

Well, I spent the day doing laundry yesterday. I was distracting myself from worrying about harleydad. He made it back to FL safely and in record time (less than 12 hours)! Now I'm here with the kitties. I haven't heard from harleykid since Friday evening when we had dinner together ... and she usually calls on Sundays. She didn't pick up her phone or return my call either. :scared: I'm hoping she was out having a good time somewhere.

Today is going to be a lazy day. My throat hurts for some reason and I CAN'T be sick! x(

I'm glad Greekspeak and his dad are having such a fun time! Sounds like a lot of people meeting up this week. :bounce:

[Clintmax]

56. Good Morning, Miss Airmens!

:hi::hug:
You caught me JUST as I was leaving! I'm glad to hear that Mister Harley made it back down here safely! It's a long damned drive though. x( I hope Harley Kid was just out having fun too. It's strange when a day goes by like that and you don't hear.

[AirmensMom]

61. Well, *sniff*, I feel a little better now. *sniff*

:hug: Go ahead and do your laundry. I'm glad I got to say hi. :loveya: :hug: I'm sure I'll hear from harleykid today. If I don't, I'll call her husband and see what's up.

[Clintmax]

67. I'm glad you came in when you did too.

I'm sorry I have to go so quickly here. The earlier I get to that laundry the faster I'll get it done. Less people, dontcha know.

[AirmensMom]

69. I am, too.

But I understand about the laundry. And you sure don't need another reason to procrastinate ... so get going! :loveya: :hug:

[Clintmax]

75. I am now!

Have a good day, my dear and I'll see you again in the morning! :hug::loveya::hi:

[AirmensMom]

77. See ya!

You have a great day, too! :loveya: :hug: :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

59. Good Morning AirmensMom!

:hug:

I'm glad he made it there safely! I had a kitten on my lap until just a few minutes ago. She's off to eat. She is the sweetest baby. We got her for my father and she is settling in Quick!

I'm off to the dentist soon, but I wanted to say that it's nice to see you! :)

[AirmensMom]

64. MrsG!

:loveya: :hug: I haven't seen you in a hundred years! We'll need to get caught up one of these days! :hi: You must post a pic of the kitten -- it's required, you know. :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

72. Here she is! Hanging out with Jessie!

I fear I am boring the lounge with pictures of her. :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

74. Aw, what a cutie!

And if you're boring the lounge, I have missed the whole thing! :loveya:

I have a few to upload one of these days, but I'm being lazy today. Have you moved yet?

[ScreamingMeemie]

78. Nope. We're still just listed.

The market has bottomed out here, with about 5 houses just on my street alone on the market. We are reexamining and thinking that if we don't sell by the end of the contract we will buy some land and build a year round get away. :hug:

[AirmensMom]

82. That can be discouraging.

Our realtor made it sound like ours was the last house to sell in South FL. The market came to a screeching halt. So we're feeling pretty fortunate.

If you buy the land and build a get away, you can eventually sell when the market picks up again and you'll already have a place to go. I like that idea. :hug:

We signed our contract with the builders last Friday, so the show is going to get on the road here soon. I'm pretty comfortable in the rental house, though, and we have some great neighbors. I just wish harleydad could be here all the time.

[MissHoneychurch]

60. Good morning MissAirmens

:hi:

I missed you :hug:

[AirmensMom]

65. I missed you, too!

:hug: And then I was afraid I missed you again this morning. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

66. I'm gone in 15 minutes

but till then we can talk.

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

71. OK.

I have to get myself dressed, etc., and do the morning chores, call the builder, etc. Then I'll check back. :hug:

[Cannikin]

79. Hi Clintmax and company!

[Mutley]

80. Hi Clint!

It's going to be 99 degrees today. x( :cry: x(
