Good morning Lounge

[MissHoneychurch]

How are you today?

So yesterday late afternoon a co-worker came by and after we chatted a bit asked if I am in the mood for some champagne ... uhhh ... yes :D So me and three others sat together had a drink and chatted away. It was so relaxing. After the very busy month December I quite enjoy the bit more quiet time right now.

Tonight I work at the cash-register again, this week the only time. I have the weekend off. Saturday I go to a show with two friends. The show is called "India" and I expect Indian music, dances and from what I've seen online artistics.

1. That's a great pic MissH!

I love the angle, good perspective.

Do you mean to tell me that you had champagne at work? Lucky you! :rofl:

I thought you only worked weekends, but it's nice that you have the weekend off.

This is the first week in about five that I'm putting in a full week. Well, we did put in our 40 hours, but between Monday and Thursday, so we could have Fridays off. It seems strange.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

3. Good morning Callalily

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Did you see that the January Contest is up in GD? I voted already.

I mostly work Saturdays yes, but if I have plans on a Saturday I try of course to switch. Telling the boss that I can't work that day and he puts me in on another day. If he doesn't forget like this time, then I have to remind him.

It is the first full week for me too. Before Christmas and between the years it was 3 days week. I preferred that :rofl:

[Callalily]

5. Thanks for letting

me know about the photo contest. I'll have to pop over there and vote.

It's nice that you are able to switch-out days. When I worked retail, we had to find our own substitute. During the week that was relatively easy, but if scheduled on a weekend, not quite so easy.

[MissHoneychurch]

7. I am glad about the possibility of switching too

Sometimes it is nice to have a Saturday off. Even though I noticed that when I am home a whole weekend without plans I don't know what to do with myself. Of course I could go outside for a walk or something. But you know I am rather lazy. So the working on Saturdays at least brings me under people.

[Callalily]

11. Well, with me having 12

days off of work (although some were visiting out of town family) I have become rather lazy myself.

Yesterday when I got home, I put on my jammies and it wasn't even 6:30 yet! :rofl:

It's garbage pickup today, and I was just outside and there's a nice fresh layer of snow, with light snowflakes in the air. It's so pretty. The ground and the air is sparkling. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

12. It is snowing here since morning

not much snow so far but it starts to pick up. We are expecting even more snow tomorrow and Saturday and as it seems the next few days actually http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/tenday/GMXX0040?role=

If I stay inside over the weekend I sometimes don't even get out of my jammies :rofl:

[Callalily]

13. Ohhhh, good thing you sent

me that link. I checked my area and we are under a winter advisory. Expected 3-5 inches of snow by this evening.

Maybe time to wax up my skis? ;)

Oh, I know what you mean about staying in jammies all day. I just love doing that, because then I don't feel compelled to do any domestic chores. ;)

[MissHoneychurch]

15. Glad to be of help

:D

Too bad there aren't any high mountains near me. Or I would go skiing more often myself.

[Callalily]

17. Oh that's right, you downhill

ski. I only do x-country so it's easy for me to go skiing.

Well, it's time for me to bundle up and head for work. It's going to be a beautiful walk.

Wishing you a great day.

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

18. Enjoy the walk

and have a busy but not hectic day at work. And a wonderful day!! :hug:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

2. Good Morning Miss Honeychurch!

:hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

That sounds like a perfect evening, so happy for you! :D

I'm nursing a sore knee and wrist after a nasty tumble at work. I'm OK, just need to learn to fly in emergency situations. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Good morning SCE

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

With the perfect evening I hope you mean coming Saturday and not today :)

What in the world did you do???? Are you on sick leave now or do you have to go to work? :hug:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

6. I was thinking more of the champagne and conversation. :)

Saturday sounds just as nice. :)

I was putting away an exhaust part, and tripped over something. I'm going to work, it's doing much better this morning. I'll just take things slow.

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Oh that!

Yes, that was nice :)

Taking things slow sounds just perfect for you!!! :hug:

[swimboy]

9. Good morning, MissHoneychurch!

I'm just back from swimming this morning. How are you? :hug:

I didn't get much time off but things have slowed down enough that I am very relaxed and happy. And mr. swim and I will have a week at the beach in February for my birthday! A friend from church is letting us stay at her house there. The weather will be freezing cold but I will love having time to read and cook and make martinis. It's a town called Sandbridge and it is very quiet there in the winter.

Cheers!

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Good morning swimboy

and a belated Happy New Year!!! I wish you the best for the coming months. :hug:

Oh ... I love the beach in the winter. Taking a long walk and then get home and warm up. Or like you snuggle and read. And those martinis ... :9

Glad to hear that it calmed down a bit for you. Same here. Enough to do but not as hectic as December.

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

[blueraven95]

14. Good Afternoon, MissH

It sounds like you have good weekend plans! All I've got is cleaning my apartment... :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

16. Good morning blueraven

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

If you are done with your place do you mind coming over to mine? The Christmas stuff still needs to be put away and vaccuming and mopping is needed as well :rofl:

How are you doing today?

[blueraven95]

26. Sure! I'll just hop on a plane :-)

I'm good, really tired today, but good.

How are you?

[MissHoneychurch]

32. Did your neighbor kept you awake again?

I am doing fine. It is quiet here but still not boring. Enough books. :)

[blueraven95]

37. nope, she was quiet

I don't know why I'm so tired, but I am. :shrug:

I've decided to take lots of walks today just to keep my eyes open. It's COLD outside, so that's helping. :-)

[Brewman_Jax]

19. G'day, MissH!

:hi: :hug:

We're waiting for the snow to arrive. The Weather Service has a winter weather advisory from 12noon to 12midnight today. I took the car to get the 2-year service done. I went to the supermarket yesterday. If the weather comes, I'm ready.

That's a beautiful picture. :thumbsup:

[MissHoneychurch]

21. Good morning Brewman

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

WOW Snow in Atlanta??? That means the airport will be shut down, since Atlanta can't handle the snow. :hide:

Please be careful when you have to drive.

Thank you for the compliment on the picture. :hug:

[Brewman_Jax]

23. Hopefully, it won't be that bad

we're already having broken water main pipes flooding streets. The school systems in the mountains are closed today, and likely tomorrow also. The airport might be the only place that will stay open. :silly:

[Blue_Tires]

20. Good afternoon, MissHoneychurch

[caitxrawks]

24. i have a busy day today.

My husband, daughter and I have to go to Medicaid and the SS office >:o I've been avoiding it for too long and I have to deal with those meanieheads, blah. (Yes, I said meanieheads, hahaha.)

I love the architecture in old cathedrals. My husband is from Grecia, Costa Rica. There's a cathedral there made of metal, it's a big tourist draw. I can't wait to visit there one day.

[MissHoneychurch]

25. Good morning caitxrawks

:hi: :hug:

Welcome to my thread :) And a belated welcome to DU. What an interesting name you have. Does it mean anything?
Where in NC do you live if I may ask? I was a nanny in Davidson, NC many years ago.

[caitxrawks]

35. i was born and raised

in Mooresville, how cool :D I now live in Salisbury. My screenname or my real name? My screenname is aaaaancient, I've used it for a good five or six years now on pretty much every site I go to, lmao. My name is Caitlin, x (for good measure), and rawks, which is my rock n roll version of 'rocks'. Silly me.

[MissHoneychurch]

38. Way cool

I was there in 1994/95 ... as said many years ago.

Heck, I use MissHoneychurch on every site I go :rofl:

[bigwillq]

[MissHoneychurch]

Busy Saturday, relaxed Sunday. Perfect for me :)

How are you doing today? How was work?

[bigwillq]

29. I am well today!

OFF Today!! :bounce: Work yesterday was very easy. Only in the office for a few hours. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

30. Lucky you

:bounce:

Any plans for today? Or is the weather that bad that you have to stay inside?

[bigwillq]

33. It's a bit warmer today.

It may reach 35!!! :) Sunny, though. Going up to see my boyfriend. Should be fun! :)

[MissHoneychurch]

36. Now there is a great plan

:)

The temps here are in the higher 20s. On such days I am happy I am an office rat :)

[cwydro]

31. Hello Miss Honeychurch!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I wish we drank champagne at my job!

Nice pic there.

[MissHoneychurch]

34. Good morning cwydro

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

It is very easy with the champagne. Buy a bottle and bring it with you to work. Then when someone has b.day or the new year started or for any other reason bring it out and open it :D

39. Good morning MissHoneychurch.
