Good morning Lounge

[MissHoneychurch]

It is Friday, a little bit after 9am here in Frankfurt, Germany. It is supposed to get really cold and snow here later on in the day. The first sign of winter.

I have to admit, I love snow. Everything looks peaceful and it seems more quiet than usual.

Picture of the Day

1. Good morning, MissHoneyChurch!

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Good morning dicksteele

:hi:

How are you doing? Any plans for the weekend?

[Richard Steele]

3. I have no solid plans for anything at the moment.

I might go out and do some squirrel hunting Saturday,
but that's not so much a 'Plan' as a vague notion.

It's fairly cold here right now, and I really don't like the cold.
I may just stay under the covers with a nice book- I'm currently
re-reading all the old Ray Bradbury short stories.

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Why would you go squirrel hunting?

be careful that they don't fight back :)




Not so much into short stories. I prefer long novels. A thick book that captures you. Like "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell"

5. Hallo!

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Good morning billy

:hi:

Feeling better? :hug:

Do you get winter this weekend too?

[AirmensMom]

34. Hi Billy!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Wapsie B]

7. HI!

I don't mind snow either if it would stay off the roads.

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Hey there

good thing I don't drive ... otherwise I wouldn't like it so much either :)

[Wapsie B]

11. Ah yes I keep forgetting

you Europeans have an honest to god mass transit system, unlike many of us over here.

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Just the big cities

if you live in the country you are dependent to the car as well.

[Guava Jelly]

9. Happy Friday MissH

It is cold as hell in Kansas City,Missouri.
Nice picture :hi:
I'll bet a snow covered Germany is quite beautiful.
I wouldn't mind snow so much if I didn't live so far away from where i work.

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Good morning GoP

Oh it will look beautiful and there will be chaos on the streets ... same procedure as every year when we get snow.

I am more than glad that I can take the underground to get to work and back. No disturbance from snow :)

:hi:

[Guava Jelly]

12. You guys do have a kick ass transit system.

I wish we had one here like that.
Maybe someday.

[MissHoneychurch]

14. See my answer to bwaol

if you live in the country you need the car. Only the big cities have good public transportation.

[Heidi]

15. Good morning, gf!

Snow in our forecast for Monday. I wish I could be as cheerful about it as you are. I'm a spring and summer person. x(

[MissHoneychurch]

16. Good morning Heidi

So the snow is moving down to you. I am sure it won't stick. Spring is only 3 months away :D

How are you doing? I love your newest art project you posted here.

[Heidi]

17. !

I'm dancing as fast as I can to get as many paintings as I can finished before 29 Nov. Days are long, but not long enough. :cry:

I don't think we'll even see snow where we are, at about 200 or less meters. But the mountains around will be white. I don't mind that at all; it's always very pretty. :)

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

18. Why?

why before Nov. 29th? Is it a specific deadline?

I bet your mountains look beautiful. No matter what season.

[Maraya1969]

19. Why is everyone so damned happy?

[MissHoneychurch]

20. Maybe because it is Friday

and the weekend is here :D

[Callalily]

21. Morning MissH!

Finally got my computer back.

No snow in the forecast here, although it's a balmy 16F.

Actually, I don't mind the snow, as long as there's enough of it to go cross country skiing. Now that my commute is so short, I don't think I'll mind the snowstorms either!

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

p.s. LOVE the rose!

[MissHoneychurch]

22. Good morning Simply

I missed you yesterday :hug:

I prefer downhill skiing over cross country. I hope I get the chance to go skiing again this year with 48percenter.

:hug: :loveya: :hi:

[Callalily]

23. Yesterday? Sorry.

I still didn't have my computer back, and I was very busy at work to hop on here.

Downhill skiing looks scary to me. One of the many reason I like x-country skiing is I can just throw my skis/poles in the car and in 15-20 minutes, I'm at some or other trail. And I can go by myself if I get the yearning to just head out to the woods.

Any weekend plans?

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

25. Ok, you are forgiven

:) :hug:

You don't have to do the black hills right away. The beginner's hills are simple and wide, really not scary. I love it.

No weekend plans really. Going to do some stuff in the household, maybe a friend is coming over. Oh and I plan to cook Sauce Bolognese for Spaghetti. A whole batch so I can freeze some for later.

[Callalily]

27. Thank you - lol!

Yes, friends tell me about the beginner's hills, but I think I'll stick to x-country skiing. Much more convenient for me.

Bolognese is yummy. Haven't made that in a long time. Don't know what I'll cook this weekend. Thinking about baking whole-wheat bread.

Going to a play with a friend tomorrow, but other than that . . . well, I know that domestic chores are calling me! :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

29. Anything popular you will see?

You should try the downhill one day. It might get addicting though :rofl:

Ah yes ... those chores .... sometimes I wish I had a cleaning lady. But then, with only 550sqf it would be kinda embarrassing.

[Callalily]

31. Going to see Cinderella,

based on Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical.

I'm quite confident that I'd become addicted to downhill skiing. Don't know if that's good or bad! :rofl:

A cleaning person for 550 sq. ft. - now that truly is funny! But I can relate. Aren't you doubling your living area when you move? I just love my new place, even though I've been here for about 8 months. So convenient to everyplace, and now that the cold is setting in, I can just throw a log on the fireplace, and be nice and cozy.

[MissHoneychurch]

32. Oh nice

I wish you fun!!! Good thing we know the story already :rofl:

Oh it is a good thing. Just ask 48percenter.

I will almost double. I am going to have a bit over 900sqf in the new condo.

[Callalily]

37. Bwahahahahahaha!

Yes, I know the story very well.

I've seen you and 48percenter's skiing pictures. You two certainly have a good time together.

Oh, that extra space will be nice. You will definitely like that. Me? I went smaller, from 1,500 sq ft to 1,000 sq feet, and no basement. Easy to clean, and very bright and cheerful.

Gotta head out to work now.

Wishing you a great day.

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

36. Hi SF!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Good to see you!

We have snow ... want some? Our temp is a little balmier at 30F. :shrug:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

24. Good Morning MissHoneychurch :)

7 am here in Philly, and a light snow is falling here as well. Just about to warm up the car.

There's coffee to finish before that happens.

Love the pic :hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

[MissHoneychurch]

26. Good morning

No snow so far in Frankfurt but the clouds are starting to move in. It will be an interesting afternoon and evening.

Coffee sounds good. I had a tea this morning.

Thank you. I am still a beginner when it comes to take pics of flowers.

:hug: :hi: :loveya:

[lightningandsnow]

28. Good morning my dear!

Lovely picture. We already have snow here in Toronto!

[MissHoneychurch]

30. Good morning

Ok, I thought you are more north than I am. But actually I am more up north :wow: I'm on 50° longitude and you are near 45° longitude

[AirmensMom]

33. Hey MissHC!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Nice pic! :bounce:

Love snow? Well, c'mon over! That's what it's doing right now. And it's cccccccold! Brrrrr!

Got any museum pics?

[MissHoneychurch]

35. Good morning AirmensMom

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Sorry, no museum pics. Didn't take my camera with me.

Lemme hop on the plane. I will be there in a bit. :bounce:

[AirmensMom]

38. OK.

We might be out a little bit this afternoon, so just dig in with the gardener and help get those apple trees planted if you arrive before we get back. We'll feed you at some point. :rofl:

You'll just have to remember all the pics from the museum in your head, I guess. Can you describe any of what you saw?

[MissHoneychurch]

39. You know I will join ya

and give stupid comments :rofl:

Beside, I know where your fridges are :D

Well, they showed how they figured out the colors and then had copies they painted in those colors. Also they showed old scultures where you could see the color left overs after so many years.

[AirmensMom]

40. You betcha!

:rofl:

Ah yes, you are quite self-sufficient. Well, then, go ahead and start cooking the bolognese when you get here. We have all the ingredients. I'll bring a bottle of wine. :D

Oooo, that sounds fascinating! What were the sculptures of?

[MissHoneychurch]

41. Make sure to give me some wine

for the cooking. I have to put it in the bolognese and also I need to try if it is suitable :D

The fake sculptures were made of plaster.

[AirmensMom]

42. There's some in the fridge.

Walnut Crest Merlot. It's opened already. Probably not drinkable, but I don't like Merlot on a good day. :shrug: I'll bring home a new bottle along with the Kool-Aid stuff I like. :rofl:


I mean what was the subject?

[MissHoneychurch]

43. Cold red wine??

BAH!!!!! That is a sacrileg!!!!

The subject of what? The sculptures were from Greece, period between 400 - 100 BC

http://www.liebieghaus.de/admin/ImageServer.php?ID=3064@lh&colorspace=rgb

[AirmensMom]

45. Yeah, but

it's because I opened it for the last bolognese and didn't want it to turn to vinegar. :shrug:



OK ... COOL! :bounce: Thanks for the links!

[MissHoneychurch]

49. Excuses, excuses

a red wine needs to breathe anyway, so on the counter will be fine for a day or two. Or are you afraid a kitty is wanting a sip?

[AirmensMom]

50. It's been more than a day or two.

It's probably not even good for cooking anymore. :shrug:

No, kitties don't want a sip, but they do want to knock it over. Wine bottles go down very nicely! :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

55. My computer keeps crashing

for no appearant reasons (of course our cumputer guy is on vacation for 2 more weeks). So if you don't hear from me that is the reason.

[AirmensMom]

56. ...

:( I'm sorry.

Maybe it'll decide do behave on its own.

[MissHoneychurch]

57. Seems like

didn't have any problems the last 20 minutes.

[AirmensMom]

59. One can hope.

:hug:

Computers sometimes seem to have a mind of their own. :shrug:

[Inchworm]

44. Good mornin'

What a perdy flower. Hmm.. partially erotic in some way or it's just one of those mornings :D

I have about 2 inches of snow here at the house. I need to go into town at 10ish (1.5 hours). That's gonne be fun.

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

47. Good morning inchworm

the thoughts are free ... you are welcome to think whatever you want :evilgrin:

Still no snow so far. First the hype, then no snow is coming :(

[Inchworm]

52. Just got back in with the dogs

The driveway is going to be a bear to get back up. I guess I better throw the chains in the car. I'm sort of dreading the drive in a 'standing in the rollercoaster queue' kind of way.

I loves me some rollercoasters :D

:)

[mwooldri]

46. Good afternoon now (for you anyway!)

You got your snow? We got it here in central NC today! An inch and enough to delay schools for 2 hours.

Nice rose!

Mark.

[MissHoneychurch]

48. No snow yet

all those promises ... and then ....

All those Southern States seem not to function if there is one snowflake coming down ....

[blueraven95]

51. morning!

How was the museum last night?

[AirmensMom]

53. Good morning, blueraven.

:hi:

[blueraven95]

60. good morning!

Did you get your call?

[AirmensMom]

65. Yeah.

It came before noon, but we didn't have to leave until after 2:00. Sort of spoiled the day, but at least we didn't wait ANOTHER day for nothing. :shrug:

Now I'm sitting here trying to stay warm. I suppose cleaning the house would warm me up, wouldn't it? :rofl:

[blueraven95]

71. I thought you cleaned yesterday!

If it were me, I wouldn't be cleaning on a Friday! :)

[AirmensMom]

76. I did.

But just a little. Can't do too much at a time without getting really tired.

We have to clean. There's a reason. Otherwise, I'd let it go for now.

[blueraven95]

77. I understand

I should clean too. I'll probably be doing it tomorrow.

[AirmensMom]

79. I think

the kitties should help, don't you? After all, they deposited the furry bits onto the floors so they should maybe grab a duster and help pick them up. But noooooo ... the spoiled little things are outside playing in the snow. MissHC's Simon was the first to hightail it out and away from the cleaning chores.

If you do it tomorrow, you can take Sunday off. :D

[blueraven95]

80. now that's not fair...

if the cats make the mess, they should clean it up! :D


Although mine sometimes try and help, by bringing the cat toys back into the middle of the floor after I've put them away. Clearly I don't know where they belong.

[AirmensMom]

81. Cats don't care

about fair. Good slogan for a political sign? :rofl:


Wait ... are you me and are your cats mine and all that? I can't seem to do it right, either! And the more toys I put in the toy box, the more they get out. I guess they're trying very hard to teach me. If I just left one toy out, they would figure I learned the lesson. Maybe. :shrug:


Ah, but I do have to get myself started. It'll be noon before I know it and I won't have gotten anything done at all.

I hope you have a wonderful day. Thanks for sticking around and talking with me.

:hi:

[blueraven95]

82. have a great day!

don't work too hard! :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

54. Good morning blueraven

the exhibition was fascinating. I will look at ancient scultures now with a differnt eye. Really amazing. Gorgeous colors. The greeks had a nice imagination.

[blueraven95]

61. that's awesome

it sounds so interesting!

[MissHoneychurch]

63. It really was

now all you have to do is imagine all those known ancient sculptures colorful instead of white. So much more fun :)

[blueraven95]

72. I can't decide which I like better

the white or the colored.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

58. Good Morning,

I have overslept and I have to go in early today so I am already behind :crazy:

:hug: :hi:

No, I will do mine only Monday through Friday. Do you think I am nutz and spend my free time on DU? :rofl:

Have a great weekend!!!

[AirmensMom]

70. Yep.

Why do you have to go to work early today?

:hug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

73. Because

the first shift person is leaving early for a dr. appt. This way I get out of there early ;)

Can't win for losing, you know :crazy:

[AirmensMom]

75. Ack!

Don't get to stay late to make up for it? x(


I know ... :hug:

[BarenakedLady]

74. Good morning!

Pretty flower.

I'm going to be heading into school soon. I have to cast my sculpture today. Whatever that means. LoL. I'm a bit slow getting moving this morning.

:hi:

[AirmensMom]

78. Good morning, BNL.

:hi: :hug:

You missed MissHC. :(

Good luck with your sculpture! :toast:
