Good morning Lounge
How are you today?

Today is my mom's 60's birthday. Happy Birthday mom. Love ya!!! My brother and I gave her (and her partner) as present a trip to Paris. One week in August in a cute hotel. My brother sent her a guide for Paris without comments. When I called her this morning she was really surprised and happy about the trip. She's never been to Paris before. Me thinks it is a good idea :D

Picture of the Day (my mom and I a couple of years ago)

3. Please don't ask about me- I hate it when people do that.
I don't mind so much when you do it, but PEOPLE? Hate it.

I have absolutetly NOTHING going on in my life
that is interesting in any way right now.

The most interesting thing that happened all week
was when I finally found the button that resets the trip-mileage-meter
in my car.

So, I can now report that I am exactly 14.8 miles from the nearest
distributor of the cheapassed donkey-piss WINE I spend my evenings with.
22.7 miles when the creek floods the road and I have to go AROUND
the mountain instead of over it.

9. In public, wink wink nudge nudge, eh? Love ya! One thing that occurrs to me...
...is that my little furry friend "Crybaby" is very much
'in a family way' again...she's been abit popular with
the local lads, as pretty girls often are in the springtime,
and she's currently swollen to amazing proportions!

She's much larger than her last pregnancy. Last year, she introduced
me to 3 kittens...this time it's looking like she's either going to
introduce me to 12 kittens or 3 watermelons.

For her sake, I hope it's 12 kittens- her hips don't look wide enough
to pass a watermelon.

She was pleasantly surprised. I am happy that she is happy about it.

Spring seems to come to our part of the world as well, temps are supposed to rise up to the mid 50s during this week :wow: I will only believe it when I feel it :D

12. That is a great surprise, and
such a nice gift too.

My weekend was fabulous. Although the weather wasn't to nice on Friday and Saturday, it did not dampen our spirits and our fun.

Gotta do a few things and head out for work, so wishing you a great day.

:hug:

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I know what you mean. Yesterday for me was a crazy day too. When I left work I felt like I haven't gotten anything done :eyes:

Wishing you a quiet and slow day.

Btw, how is the drumming going?

10. Thanks, hope yours is too :)
It's going well, I played for about 20 minutes last night. Taking tonight off, to give the arms a break.

If things do go slow, I may sit down for a few minutes. It clears the head and gets the day's stress out. And, it's the Most Fun Ever. :D

I am fine, thanks for asking. I hope you are too beside the busy work days :hug:

Yesterday when I was leaving work I had the feeling I haven't accomplished anything because there were so many different things to be done :crazy:

22. Did you get your papers done for the class?
How do you make that with a fulltime job and the class beside it? I think that is way more stressfull than working at the cash register once or twice a week beside my fulltime job.

17. G'day, MissH!
:hi: :hug:

and a merry birthday to your mom! :toast: The trip sounds like a fantastic idea! Glad that she is enjoying Paris.

We changed the clocks to Daylight Savings Time over the weekend, and I want my hour back!

Nice pic, who is that standing next to mom? ;)

20. Good morning Brewman
:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Well I hope she will enjoy Paris in August. Since she's never been there before. But when I think how much I liked even though the city wasn't in my top 5, I am sure she will love it.

This morning I woke up at 5.30am because the birds were loud outside. Guess that means the spring finally is coming to us :woohoo:

We have two more weeks with the winter time. So you and I are 5 hours apart at the moment.

I have no idea whatsoever who that person is :P

23. Summer is good
I thought that she was on vacation right now. August is a better time to go on vacation. :D

I got up when the clock alarm sounded, and it was dark outside--just like winter. :(

26. That I am not looking forward to at all
getting up in the dark again. It is so much easier to get up when it is light outside already. But at least it will be light when I am getting off work.

27. Daylight in the evening
that's a good thing. I can run after work.

Just got a broadcast e-mail, one of the engineers in New Jersey died of a heart attack last week. :(

Yes, and if I have the energy left I can go for a walk after work. Without being afraid in the dark.

29. You can do it
a late afternoon walk is good, if you can't go to the pool.

I didn't know the engineer who just died, but there's a lot of people in New Jersey that did. :(

Even though you didn't know him personally it is still somewhat close. :hug:

The pic was taken at the Lake Constance in South Germany, 3 years ago or so. Not 100% sure about the year anymore.

35. I won't quiz you about the year
but the lake looks like fun.

Ordered my last parts for my costume, and I will look fab-u-lous. I get to wear the form-fitting vest this renfest season. :D

36. The lake is a nice area
I lived there from 1990 till 1994. And visited often as long as my dad was still alive. Now it is a tid bit too far away.

37. Things with me?
Staying very busy at work, which is good, because mr. swim was laid off last Monday. We think we will be all right. We will still buy gin, just need to make it last longer!

I think things are starting to get better, just not fast enough for his company to keep him through until recovery. I hope in a couple of months they will be back strong and will want him back.

We ourselves are just fine, though, and still laughing and smiling! (and swimming!!!)
:hug:
