Nibbs XXIV (Page 4)

I thought it might be the holiday and all the family/friend BBQ's going on.  My husband has been playing golf at a very hoyti-toyti club ($200,000 to join, no...we are NOT members but one of the docs is...)

How's the packing/sorting going?  Some of it is so hard to decide on.  You think "I haven't used this in x amount of time...." but simultaneously remember the sentiment if it was a gift or something you purchased that has a memory attached. 

We had so much stuff in storage while we were in the apartment. When we got to the house I threw out a lot of stuff cause I realized if I hadn't missed it in the 9 months it was in storage I really didn't need it now.

Heh... yes, I know how much you like 'em.  I only did 42 but if you add the miles from class this morning we're lookin' at more than fiddy... smokin'! 

Hi Judi!

it's probably a combination - and mostly the challenge weekend

I think I have it sorted out for the most part......in some ways it's a blessing in disguise that we have to rent first - it caused us to make some choices that we othewise probably woudln't have considered

nicely done!

ps - he also *hearts* the smell of chlorine

Speaking of which...my pool piglet is back tomorrow.  Can you tell I'm happy?  Goal this year is to get to build speed/efficiency with long term goal of 2 min/100 (currently lucky to be 2:20). Also want to  learn fly/breast.

Ummmmm... I do not *heart* the smell of chlorine in the morning.  Or in the afternoon.  Or in the evening.  Or even in the middle of the night and seeing as how my gym is open 24 hours I could, in fact, swim at 2 a.m. if I so choose.  Which I don't. 

I did once swim at 3:45 a.m. when I couldn't sleep.  Next time I'll count sheep.

LOL!

Mila, it's not really that bad is it?

Ummmm... compared to what??  I mean it's totally better than say, being poked in the eye with a sharp stick...

LOLOL! wow - you really don't like to swim!

hmmm.... was wondering how you were fairing...looks like tornado;s are your worst fear right now...

All of my family is strewn from Oxford through Alabama and Florida....  though there were some idiots bravehearts that stayed in Morgan City.... I call that bayou mentality....  they figured it couldn't be as bad as Andrew 16 years ago....

Hi Gang....

Hope everyone is having a relaxing day off.... after vegging in front of the tv (TWC) most of the weekend... I left the house today and we went bought a new patio set... It's purty

Hi Cat!

here's to the coffee perking you up!

I'm headed out to have sushi with some friends - YUM!

Hi Heather!

pics?

I bought a new bedroom set this weekend - 30 months no interest - who could resist?

Sounds fun Beth!!! Enjoy!  

*bump*

<<<< this avatar is weirding me out... it just doesnt feel like me!

hmmm did Mila have any swimming goals for this months challenge?

Well, a band of tornadoes passed north of me, so that was lucky.  Looks like they hit some reall sparsely populated areas and only ripped a few holes in some forest areas.  Even had a break in the action to slide on over to the parents' house for a steak.  The sis was in town from Charlotte, so it was a rare full family meal.  Good times.  Raining pretty hard here now, but that looks like the worse we'll get here.  There is some pretty bad news out of the MS coast that some towns got about a 15 foot storm surge.  All the news channels are camped in New Orleans, though, so no pictorial proof.  The levees seemed to have held up pretty well, so they should come out battered but not broken.  It also looks like Mobile got some serious flooding rains but should come out ok.  It's still sorta dicey, but it's looking like Gustav was a black eye as opposed to the bloody beat down that Katrina was.  Gotta look on the bright side  At the very least, it wasn't a 30+ foot storm surge that wiped towns off the map.  We're haning in there.  Always have, always will.

Time to turn the attention to our Texas friends.  Looks like it will set up camp and rain, rain, rain.  There could be some severe flooding in the next few days.  So be thinking about them.
