Good morning Lounge

[MissHoneychurch]

It is one day before Thanksgiving. What are you thankful for this year? Me? I am thankful for my family who supports me in my decision to buy a condo. Who helps me wherever possible.

Hard to believe it's been that long already. :hug:

I wish you the same in your job :hug:

[RandomThoughts]

3. I am thankful that I was born,

Especially since today is my birthday :)

6. Hi MissHoneychurch

That's great about the condo!

I'm just thankful for my wife, kitty, and some great friends. I'm a lucky guy, and very, very thankful..

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Hey enigmatic

what a pleasure to see you :hug:

Those are good things to be grateful about. Esp. the kitty wife :)

[enigmatic]

9. ha!

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

13. Good morning, MissHC.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Another great photo! :toast:


Oven broke last night, so at least I don't have to worry about cooking. :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

14. Good morning

now that sucks!!!! x( Hope you get it fixed soon. No one needs a broken oven.

Are you OK otherwise?

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

15. Sure does.

We had people over and were making pizza. Preheated the oven, made the pizza, got ready to put it in and noticed the oven wasn't hot. Figured I'd done something wrong but I hadn't. Harleydad looked at it ... couldn't get it to turn on. Had to figure out how to do convection in the microwave, one pizza at a time. At least it worked. Just another headache to deal with. *sigh*

I'm OK. Not feeling like doing holidays this year. And I have NO idea why I'm awake! x(

How are you?


:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

16. Of course

something like this happens when you have guests ... or when the weekend is up (like me with my fridge in February). Hope the company was nice anyway :D

I am doing fine. About to have my lunch break. So if you want to go back to bed ... you are allowed to :D

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

17. Or two days

before a holiday. I doubt I'll find anyone around to look at it today.

Have a good lunch. I might just go back to bed.

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

18. I'm back

you still around?

Just picked up your Christmas present :) It looks good ...

[AirmensMom]

47. I wasn't.

But I am now.

My Christmas present looks good? Hmmm ... wonder what it could be! :bounce: Thank you. You have your present already, right? :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

48. I do

:hug:

Everybody I showed it said you would love it :D

[AirmensMom]

49. You showed it to people?

:wow: Am I the only one who doesn't know what it is? :D

[MissHoneychurch]

51. Yes

and yes :D

[Callalily]

26. Morning AirmensMom!

Sorry to hear about your oven, and one day before Thanksgiving! You can always go out for Chinese? :rofl:

Hope things start looking up.

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

44. Good morning, SF!

LOL! I thought that was only for Christmas! :rofl: We got invited to a friend's house, so we'll do that. Glad the kids aren't going to be here at this point.

Anyway, sorry I got here so late. I went back to bed and slept for several hours. :blush:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[blueraven95]

29. Good Morning AirmensMom!

I'm sorry about your oven. Besides that, how are you?

[AirmensMom]

45. Good morning, blueraven!

:hi: :hug:

I'm OK, thanks. Just a little discouraged. I went back to bed and overslept ... maybe you guessed that already. :blush:


How 'bout you? Got plans for tomorrow?

[blueraven95]

55. I had trouble waking up this morning.

It's my own fault...I woke up at 4:00am thinking I heard someone walking around my apartment, so I had to get up and check. I didn't find anyone (whew), so I got back in bed and then thought "wait, I didn't check the closets". My stupid paranoia wouldn't let me fall asleep until I got up again and checked the closets. Of course there was no one there, which I didn't think there actually would be...but still... I guess it's my own fault for watching so many crime shows - where people living alone are killed all the time, but I couldn't shake the feeling of slight terror for awhile. :scared:

silly paranoia :rofl: I have no idea what I thought I was going to do if I actually did find someone.



otherwise, I'm good. I'm going to my aunt's for Thanksgiving tomorrow - she makes the best turkey! I hope it will be fun, but I've got a feeling it might be fraught with drama - there are a lot of performers in my family and they have huge egos that tend to get a little squashed.


How about you? Are you doing anything wonderful tomorrow? Don't worry about the oven, it will work out okay, I'm sure of it. :hug:



edit to fix bad smilie. I really should know those by now.

[SeattleGirl]

19. 'mornin' Missy!

Hope you are doing well.

Gorgeous pic there!

:hi: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

20. Good morning gf!!!

I am doing fine. A bit pissed but that will pass.

How are you doing?

:hug: :hi: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

21. I'm good!

But definitely ready to hit the pillow! :boring:

[MissHoneychurch]

22. You are still awake?

are you off today?

[SeattleGirl]

23. No, not off today.

Just having a hard time sleeping.

Okay, I am now going to sleep!

[Callalily]

25. Morning MissH!

Lovely photo, as usual.

I'm thankful that I still have a job, as frustrating as it gets sometimes. We're in deep budget cuts, and everyone is on pins and needles wondering if they are going to cut staff.

Also, I'm thankful that I'm off of work today. Just going to be in a leisurely type mode today. Heading to Minneapolis tomorrow for a couple of days. I am VERY thankful for that.

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

30. Good morning Simply

:hug: :hi: :loveya:

That is really a reason to be thankful. I am thankful for my job too. It is a safe job. A blessing these days.

So you will be hanging around a bit today?

:fistbump:

[Callalily]

33. Yup, I'll be here for

a while. I may even start a new thread! Thinking about making some breakfast though. I'm getting a little hungry.

[MissHoneychurch]

35. Had your breakfast yet?

been running around here.

Just got my paycheck for this month, including the Christmas bonus ... all I am saying is :wow:

[Callalily]

38. Just finished breakfast.

Two eggs scrambled with some chopped fresh spinach and some feta cheese. Yummy.

Bonus? :rofl: We don't get bonuses where I work. As a matter of fact, last year was the first year that we received a holiday "gift". And as a matter of fact, my boss and I were just about to purchase department holiday gifts, but I just checked my work e-mail, and I'm to cancel the order. Hard times. Actually, I feel uncomfortable about gifts from employers, but that's just me.

[MissHoneychurch]

40. That sounds yummy

wanna come over and cook with me? :)

I couldn't believe the bonus (christmas money). I get it every year and I am surprised how much it is ... every year :rofl: It is actually 80% of my normal salery on top on my normal salery. Not bad, or?

[malta blue]

27. Good Morning MHC

:hi:

I am thankful for my family - my mom and dad, little MB, my dogs.

Here is my picture for the day:

[MissHoneychurch]

31. Good morning malta

I am sure those people helped you a lot in the hard times :hug:

Will you spend Thanksgiving with them?

What a cutie pie your doggie is :loveya:

:loveya: :hug: :hi:

[malta blue]

32. I am blessed to be spending Thanksgiving

with my mom, little mb, and some very good friends. :woohoo:

My dad - I will have to wait to see him in the next couple of weeks. :(

My dog is very sweet and lets me do anything I want to him. It is a sickness, I know, but that wig makes me laugh :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

36. That sounds like it will be a good Thanksgiving

any special dishes?

It makes me laugh too ... with kitties you can't do anything like that ... :rofl:

[blueraven95]

28. Good Afternoon, MissH!

Let's see, I'm thankful for my family (including all the difficult people who will be at dinner tomorrow :P), and my friends, including those who are local, those who are spread out around the world, and those who are online. :hug:

I'm also really, really, really thankful for the fact that more than half the department is out today, so it should be quiet at work. :D


How are you? :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

34. Good morning blueraven

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

How was your day yesterday? Busy as expected?

In a while a computer guy is coming to take care of the problem. At least 5 computers have the same problem. :eyes: I will walk around with him.

Wish I could have Thanksgiving too

[blueraven95]

37. it was busy

lots of little things that I had to do. I only have one thing that has to get done today - everything else can wait until next week if I so choose.

It's good that the computers are getting fixed - that way you don't have to deal with them anymore :hug:


You should have Thanksgiving. There isn't anything that makes it particularly American, and it's not a religious holiday. We should start a movement to create a global Thanksgiving holiday.

[MissHoneychurch]

39. Well, seems I am stuck with the problems

I know now what the problem was. The clients wanted to upload Microsoft updates but the admin wasn't allowing it. Therefor the error. Now, part of the PC's I could upload the updates without problems. Two ... not so much. Microsoft didn't let me. It was searching for updates and then told me it couldn't do it. For no appearant reason. Have to try it again tomorrow. Go figure.

That is OK. Instead we have 2 holidays on Christmas. :)

[blueraven95]

41. I'm sorry,

but at least you know what is wrong.


Apparently there is more going on today than I thought. It's gotten a bit busy.

[MissHoneychurch]

42. I will survive it

the only thing that sucks is that my own work isn't get done. This afternoon all I did was running around because of the PC instead of cataloguing.

But now I am back on my own desk and can post on DU :rofl:

[blueraven95]

43. Yay for DU!

:rofl:



Are you doing anything fun tonight?

[MissHoneychurch]

46. Yeah, it is lightening up some of my work days

:rofl:

No, nothing special tonight. Gonna talk to a friend on the phone. Other than that .... watching TV: Criminal Intent (at the same time Desperate Housewives is on :crazy: ), Standoff, Samantha Who and Men in Trees ... all coming tonight :rofl:

[blueraven95]

53. yeah, I'll be watching tv too

Pushing Daisies (I can't believe it's been cancelled! :(), Criminal Minds, probably CSI: New York.

It's going to be nice having a lazy night.

[MissHoneychurch]

54. ah yes

Pushing Daisies is coming tonight too (at the same time as Standoff). They just started this show here.

Criminal Minds is on Sunday and CSI: New York on Monday. Thursday is CSI: Las Vegas and Bones. Tuesday is House :)

Week is full with shows.

Btw, AirmensMom answered your hello

[blueraven95]

56. I still think Pushing Daisies was the absolute best new show last year

and no one will be able to convince me otherwise! As far as I'm concerned Lee Pace is practically the best thing on tv right now. :loveya:


Of course, your viewing schedule is completely different from mine. Makes it interesting :D



I just saw AirmensMom's response. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

57. Of course it is

different countries and continents and stuff :)

AirmensMom might not be able to answer, she doesn't feel too good.

I will be leaving now. I wish you a quiet day at work and if I don't see you online tomorrow I want to wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving.

:hug: :loveya: :hi:

[blueraven95]

59. Have a great evening and a good day tomorrow!

I probably won't be online for the rest of the week - my apartment still doesn't have internet, so if I don't see you have a good weekend too!

:hug: :loveya:

[DarkTirade]

50. I'm thankful that I've had several days off thsi week that I wouldn't have normally had.

:)

[MissHoneychurch]

52. Now there is something

:D

I have no vacation time left for this year. All I get off is Christmas and New Year. OK, also Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve :)

[DarkTirade]

58. For the last couple months my life has just been nonstop work school work school

and suddenly I only have one day of school this week and several days off work. The only thing I'm planning on doing today is taking a shower at some point, and maybe running to the pharmacy to get some decongestant. Got a bit of a stuffy nose, and I haven't had time to hang out with my friend who works there lately so I can kill two birds with one stone. :P
