I have to think long and hard about what to get my man for his b'day. He does not want me to buy clothing and the like, never. Well, he is on his way home and I told him I got him a coat today- he wanted to know did I save my receipt! I have spent a good portion of the day at Trader Joe's- Hub's job is 1 where he drives overnight and he seems to like crunches, say helps him stay awake. I have bought crackers, nuts, pretzels, chips, 2 or 3 different varieties of each, a small angel food cake, 5 cheeses, 2 sausages, salami, cookies, 2 kinds of bread, sourdough and wheat, a bottle of wine and a 6 pack of beer and next week on his off day planning a new restaurant outing that I am sure he will love. He is trying to get me to tell him where but, hey, I have to have a surprise left. I am so excited right now anticipating his arrival. He is thinking getting a coat (he,he) and I know better. Food is always a winner with him!

I am so excited!!!
I guess I'll have to though . . . my sweet baby, Daisy Mae, is going to have puppies!!! They are due right around Thanksgiving. How sweet is that?!?!?!
I know. I'm actually excited because
I think I'm going to have people clean my house every other week! Poor things, they will probably think I'm nuts when they arrive and I'll want to hear how they are doing! I also have dogs, so I get to socialize sometimes with other dog people. But I have no kids, so it is pretty quiet at home. I wish I could get the MT I used to work with to work out of my house also. That would be great for me. I'd be happy to help her learn acute care, LOL.
I'm excited for you!
That's going to be wonderful. I'm sorry nobody in your family likes to travel, but you are right that that shouldn't stop you from seeing our gorgeous country. You're going where I want to go someday. Also Idaho, Oregon & Washington. My parents have only done one cruise, and it was to Alaska. They LOVED it. Be safe.
Thanks!! We are so excited. sm
anything else you would have time to share about your trip would be greatly appreciated.
Got too excited on that one! NM

I'm excited too
I can't wait for AI to start. I've been watching for about 3 years (I did watch the other years, but not religiously). I've been to three AI concerts and have met just about all the Idols for seasons 6-8. I didn't particularly think last year was a great group, but they put on an amazing concert. I hadn't heard about them being able to play instruments. I hope it doesn't happen.
You all have me so excited! Thank you.

Thanks, Laura! I'm excited now! nm

I am SO excited, can hardly wait
to see your part of the country. I live in the south and the weather here now at almost 9 p.m. is 70 degrees. We saw a bit of "spitting" snow this past week, the weather is crazy! I love the animals and the scenery must be gorgeous there, like a kid at Christmas with my upcoming trip!
I'm so excited. I went to my first Walls
and found out that I can buy name-brand jeans for about $5 because I am so short (5') from the discount rack. I guess they made a mistake on the length and they send them to Walls in bulk! YEA!!!
Sweet-chocolate; not sweet-cheese. nm
I know. Here I am all excited, and what if Sasha hates her!
If Sasha says no, we'd be nuts to get her because Sasha needs somebody to play with.
Adorable! Sweet, sweet, sweet!. thanks.nm.

your kids are excited; that makes you happy, right?

So excited, new digs at home, anyone ever have a designer to give advice on how to place furniture?
I am just so excited can hardly type. I am getting new tile throughout my home, well the living room/dining room big room and then slate for my master bath and carpeting for my master bedroom. My question is has anyone ever had a designer or room coordinator may be the name to come to their home and tell them how to arrange furniture and items in their room? I have never been satisfied with my living room. I have 2 full size leather sofas, an oversized chair, several floor lamps and I have end tables with wrought iron legs. I have some decorations but if you have this done do they want you to buy other things in case you need to put more color in the room, say for instance a throw, new floral arrangement, and the like. Sure would like to hear from anyone who has gone through this. All this tile work starting next week and should last about a week and a half.
What a sweet, sweet face!
I have tears in my eyes. I will see what I can do about getting him a hat from PA. Do you know do they just want ball caps or would a beanie be okay, too?
Sweet or not sweet cornbread?

It was on CNN tonight.

TONIGHT!
Oh, children.......Tonight is the night....Can't wait!
Not tonight.
It's my bowling night (time away from everyone) so it's fast food night, but I love using the crockpot in the fall and I've been looking on the internet for quick easy recipies that I've been trying for the past few weeks.
She may be gone tonight
Hopefully. I can't stand her. Did you notice that she was in the room of the people who were leaving and then they moved her to another room? Rose was the one who's parents had died she had blond hair and was very young. I liked her a lot. I think the guy who's wife died has an amazing voice. He was my pick. I also can't believe the guy who played that character actually made it through to the next round.
AI Tonight
I won't go into who made it either for those who may have it taped, but I was really pleased with the results and loved seeing Michael Johns. Loved him from last year and very hot in person. I hate the format this year like I mentioned above. I liked it better the other years, but this year we get 3 Wild Cards so maybe your favorites who don't make it in the next three weeks will be back.
AI Tonight
I think Lil and Matt or Lil and Anoop will go home tonight. I really do like Anoop though. My top three prediction, Adam, Danny and Chris with Adam winning. (Love Adam). I'd be very happy with a Danny win also. I'm getting my AI concert tickets when they go on said May 9th. I'm so excited!
Thanks for this! I will try this tonight....yummy. nm

AI is on tonight at 8, Dubya at 9! nm

Saw the kitty tonight!
We went to see the cat tonight. She is doing as well as can be expected. Very happy to see us. Apparently, she does not like the tech who is watching her (stranger to her) but started to purr as soon as I scratched behind her ears. Plus I brought her bed. I just hope we brought some comfort to her. It was very hard to leave though. Once again, you all are a great group and your kind words are much appreciated!
Did anyone see "Lost" tonight?
Man, I was so sucked in by Juliet's act - what is her game? Tonight we find out she was angry with Ben because he wouldn't let her go home and she was afraid her sister had died from the cancer instead of being cured like Ben said. Then he shows her pictures of her sister, happy and healthy, with her two-year-old son.
So, even though he won't let her leave, Juliet has every reason to be grateful to him for curing her sister. So was her whole act with the posters telling Jack to kill Ben on the operating table just to gain Jack's confidence - and thereby (with the help of Ben and his magic button that activated an implant they put in Claire) ingratiate herself with the group - and to what purpose?
And is her story about the pregnant women dying true? Yes, one of them appeared to die on the operating table, but obviously while they had Claire they weren't just "saving her life" - they implanted her with some kind of device for their own purposes.
Man....I was really starting to feel sorry for Juliet. I wanted to like her. And now this.  Can't wait till next week!
What's for dinner tonight?
I got mine from PA tonight
I'll send it out this week.
Thank you, but I'm so frustrated tonight
as my daughter just came in crying (it's way past her bedtime) afraid that she's going to miss her advanced-math class that she's in because they do group work and there's really no way to make it up once she misses it. This kid even goes to school SICK because she doesn't want to miss school! She's a type A personality, minus the chit-chat.
I never thought I'd have a kid beg me to sign a paper that tells the school to paddle her, but that's exactly what she wants. How do I argue with her when she doesn't want her grade to be affected?
I went through their school handbook tonight with a fine toothed comb and see that indeed corporal punishment versus ISS is the choice in frequent tardies. I've heard rumors that the principal of her school is not very friendly, so I'm really not excited about having to discuss this with him (I'm having a few mini-crises myself right now, and with the holidays, this really is stressing me out).
I want to take the simple way and just sign her paper, but then I don't know, is that really the right thing to do? Probably not.
Calgon, take me away!
Party tonight...
Other than being well hydrated and snacking, any other suggestions to stave off a hangover in the morning....just in case I might have 1 too many Fuzzy Navels?
It's my first NYE party in ages...I'm so excited!!! 
What's for supper tonight? (had to ask)
Yesterday's sounded so good, wondering what is up for today. LOL.
Uh-oh on supper tonight....sm
Last week I made a beef pot roast with the trimmings. When I do this we always have enough for another meal.
Tonight for supper I was going to warm up the rest of the beef and put BBQ sauce on it. I started looking in the fridge and couldn't find the left over roast. So I called my hubby who didn't know where it was. Next I went to the 16 and 7-year-old and asked them where the meat was.
The 7-year-old said "mom - the dogs were looking real hungry the other night so I gave it to them!"
So much for supper tonight! She's never done anything like that before and now knows to never feed the dogs anything other than their usual dog food without permission. I hope the 3 dogs loved their special treat!!!
Ok, N/T is on tonight but I need an update ... sm
What happened to Kimber and Matt. I keep forgetting it is on and the last one I saw was that Matt and Kimber were meth heads and the baby was not doing so good. And...how did Julia end up with Christian? What happened to her lesbian lover??
Thanks! Now that I am remembering it is on, I am trying to catch up!
Thanks for recipe. Will try it out tonight. nm
Been a while - What's for dinner tonight??
Looking for ideas! :)
Ok, now I definitely have to watch it tonight
and not wait until Monday. :)
definitely watch tonight! enough said! nm

Tonight we are having spaghetti.

Well, my fav got dismissed tonight
but according to what you are saying, my favorite, Ricky might stand another chance. I think he is really good. I knew Titiana (sp?) was finished. She had a good voice but the craziness is not something that plays out good with the audience. I think she was trying to fake the tears upon leaving last night. I am surprised the Anoop or Enoop ?? was dismissed. Thought shades of the other Indian guy being on forever and not having an oz of talent but the looks to get him through (how soon I forget their names). I am agreeing with you this morning, maybe for the last time, but I also do not like the format. I like Michael, big ole teddy bear he is. I really like Danny. He is probably my favorite but again the sympathy factor might play some in that. Talk AI later.
I think the bottom 3 tonight will be
Lil, Matt, and Allison. Possibly Kris. I think Matt's going home, simply because he's not as memorable as some of the others even though I really like him.
what's for dinner tonight?
If it was left up to me I would just have popcorn, but I have a husband and kids who get hungry every once in a while. Oh the good old single days when I could have a Pop Tart for dinner and be satisfied!!
high of 25, low of 1 tonight, nebraska!

Alana voted off tonight and
I am SO glad. She was a little snit, making snide remark to Simon as he told her she ran out of steam. Well, she did, hello! Do these people not understand going against the judges will not work for you? Now there is another think she has it when she doesn't that needs to hit the door just anytime, Antonella.
Who's going home on AI tonight? Chris maybe.

Fun poll: What's for dinner tonight? sm
I know, I know, it's early but I tend to think about it early. Last night I was in a rush. I had one of those Hormel pork tenderloin rolls out to thaw. You can get them at the store for about 6-7 bucks. Different flavors, lemon and garlic, teriyaki, mesquite, etc. I had the teriyaki one. I cooked it different this time though. I wrapped it real tight in foil. Then, in one of those throw away foil pans, I put in 2 packages of hash browns, 2 sticks of butter and seasoned it with Mrs. Dash and covered it real tight with foil, too. Then, I took some left over carrots and some stewed Italian tomatoes and put them in foil and wrapped it real tight. Then, I took the whole shebang and put it on the grill and cooked it all on medium to high with the lid closed, turning the potatoes frequently. It was ready in 45 minutes. We sat down to eat. There were 3 of us, me, hubby and boy wonder #3. We thought we died and went to heaven. First time in ages the whole meal went in one shot. Gosh, it was so good. Tonight were going to have a turkey breast on the grill. Can't wait...... 
Thanks in advance for my nightmare tonight. nm
Saw this on the news tonight, did not watch
the show. BTW, we also wear shoes, guess that will be the next comment that will be taken at face value!
Just ran into a friend of mine tonight who see msg
is doing a lot of research and warned me about the harmful effects of microwaves on food. Studies show that cholesterol levels in many studies is actually elevated in foods when heated in a microwave. There are other effects as well.
Also, I used to take the warnings about aspartame rather lightly, hearing both good and bad. Last year on the Today Show they reported that a study from Duke University claimed it was safe. I think after tonight and after doing a search on it I will try to avoid it altogether. I think I am safer with sugar or Stevia.
Just wanted to pass this along. I know this information is probably not new, just somewhat shocking and worrisome to me.
What's on the menu for dinner tonight? nm
 
Anyone else's yahoo e-mail down tonight? nm
