Good morning Lounge

[MissHoneychurch]

How are you today?

I had a busy long weekend. My mom and her bf came to my place and we continued our home improvement project. A lot of small stuff that isn't really to be seen but was necessary, like switching the faucets on my kitchen sink (drama!!!) and toilet sink. Then putting silicone in the window frames. We also bought a beautiful lamp for my living room. And they brought the chairs with them we bought in December. The condo looks messy again but there is progress. I only need to empty two more boxes, the stuff that goes with the desk and computer. Then I am done unpacking. I still have to sort my books though :hide:

Picture of the Day

[XemaSab]

1. Where's the picture from?

:shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

3. Good morning XemaSab

the pic was taken in Sweden :)

How are you :hi:

[XemaSab]

6. Doing pretty good

It looks like the Oregon coast, but I didn't think you'd been there lately. ;)

[MissHoneychurch]

10. No, haven't been there lately

or ever for that matter. Not that I wouldn't want to go there. I bet the wild scenery is just gorgeous.

[XemaSab]

11. Oregon is very pretty, for sure

:D

2. Happy Tuesday MissH

Great picture.
I am doing well on this fine day.
My day job actually paid me for the first time in three weeks so I can eat now and pay rent :woohoo:
:D :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Good morning Guava

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

That is good news!! I am happy for you!!!

I get my paycheck end of the week (we get paid only once a month). Need the money too. This month was expensive for me with two payments (rent for the old apartment, payment for the new condo).

[Guava Jelly]

5. I bet.

Moving is expensive.
I was ok though.Luckily I had a bit of money in savings that help got me by.Now I can put back some of what i took out :) :D :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

7. It really is

I am really thankful for the help of my mom.

It is always good to get paid for the job one does. I remember 7 years ago in my old job, I didn't get paid for the last 3 months because the company went bankrupt. Fortunately in such situations the State pays you up to 3 months of your paycheck if such thing happens.

[Mollis]

8. Lovely picture.

I really like it. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

9. Good morning

thank you :)

I took it last year in Sweden on the island Gotland. I love look-throughs :D

[malta blue]

12. Good morning MissH!!

:hi::loveya:

I missed you yesterday!

So glad to hear you are making more progress on the condo. I hope to see more pictures soon!

I was incredibly productive this weekend :woohoo: and met with the lawyer yesterday.

I am thinking the divorce should be done be May. Of course, the STBE tried to worm back in on Sunday. He came to see the little one, and he looks horrible! He has gained so much weight, he smelled bad, and then tried to be apologetic :rofl:

Oh, and my friend ;) texted me while the STBE was standing in my kitchen :D. I will see him in 6 weeks :bounce:

Have a great day!!!!

[MissHoneychurch]

15. Good morning malta

Sounds like you had an .... uhh .... interesting weekend. Glad to hear that the STBE didn't have a chance with you. And YAY on your friend!!!

I will take some more pictures soon, I promise. The bedroom, bathroom and WC are looking like real rooms already. The livingroom and working room not so much.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Callalily]

13. Good morning MissH!

Missed you yesterday.

Sounds like you had a productive weekend. Soon everything will be in it's place, and you'll have nothing to do. :rofl:

:hug: :hi: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

18. Good morning Simply

I missed you too.

Believe me, I will be glad when I am done with unpacking and my condo looks nice. I still will have to keep it clean :rofl:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Callalily]

19. Now that you have more

space, I suspect it will be easier to keep clean. You actually have room for all of your stuff, so that definately helps. Additionally, I'm sure you got rid of a lot of unnecessary stuff, a bonus too.

[MissHoneychurch]

20. For some unknown reason

I still have a bunch of stuff .... it fills my new place pretty good ... I still wonder where I had it all at my old place :crazy:

[Callalily]

25. Yes, I know the feeling.

I'm trying to keep my living area clutter free, so am continually taking things out to the garage. Needless today, I've got my summer project planned already - organizing the garage. :) Actually, that shouldn't be too difficult. I plan on putting shelving up so my stuff will be more organized.

Alrightee . . . gotta go warm up the car (it's -4F here) and head out to work.

Wishing you a great day.




edit to correct temp. Grrrrr . . . it's -7F

[SalmonChantedEvening]

14. Good Morning MissHoneychurch

That's a beautiful pic. :)

Congrats on the move almost being over. :woohoo:

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

Time for Fun With Lazy Mechanics. :argh:

[MissHoneychurch]

23. Good morning SCE

well thank you :D

I should work, but somehow I am not really focused. Oh well, I will get the day over with somehow.

[Inchworm]

16. Good mornin' ma'am

That sounds like a wonderful weekend. Sink faucets are key to anyones happyness :)

I forgot I have court today for speeding until yesterday afternoon. Glad I remembered it when I did. My speedometer doesn't work, so I know I can get it lowered to bad equipment or whatever. I just forgot to get to a mechanic for a paper saying speedometer is hosed.

:hi:

[AirmensMom]

17. Good morning, MissHC!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Glad you had a productive weekend! :fistbump:

Great pic!

We're continuing our projects here. It rained yesterday and is raining today, so we're doing the indoors ones. The guys will be here any minute.

[blueraven95]

22. Good Morning, AirmensMom!

We've got snow here today. I'm partially hoping for a huge blizzard, but it doesn't look like it will happen.


How are you? :hug:

[AirmensMom]

38. Good morning, blueraven!

:hi: :hug:

I'm OK, thanks. Busier than I like to be. We have workers over here doing stuff. I snuck away long enough to say hello.

I hope you get your blizzard. :D

[blueraven95]

42. hang in there

the workers will be done soon and everything will be perfect. (I hope!) :hug:


It doesn't look like it will be a blizzard :( probably more like an ice storm. ick.

[MissHoneychurch]

24. Good morning AirmensMom

sorry for the late reply. Been busy with a customer.

We sure had a productive weekend. I really hope you will come one day and see it.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[AirmensMom]

39. Good afternoon, MissHC!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I really hope I can come see your place, too ... and you. Maybe things will work out some day.

Things are crazy over here these days. I'm liking that things are getting done, but not liking the stress and how busy we are. I would rather hire someone to do the stuff I'm doing, but that would be a bucket load more of money that we don't have.

[MissHoneychurch]

41. Hey there

good to see you around. That means you take a break :hug:

Soon that project will be over with. And it is so worth it.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Callalily]

27. Good morning AirmensMom.

I'm just heading out to work, but thought I'd stop by and say howdy. It's been a long time. Hope all is well with you and your family.

:hug: :hi: :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

40. Hi SF!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Good to see you!

[blueraven95]

21. Good Afternoon, MissH!

it sounds like the place is really coming together! It's so exciting.


I had my first class for my master's degree on Saturday. I'm still not sure if it's going to be really easy or really, really hard.


:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

26. Good morning blueraven

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Yes, my place is coming together. But still a bit from finished. Especially the living room. I will only get my new couch begin of March. Before that I won't put up any of my pictures. And I miss that.

Let me know how your class continues. I hope it won't get too hard for you. :hug:

[blueraven95]

28. that's a long time to wait for a couch.

I hope it's worth it. :D



Well, the class is right up my alley - "Science Fiction Film of the 20th Century" and the first class and the reading up to the first class was all stuff that is really first year film studies. I had to keep telling myself that most of the people in the class are not former film students and don't already know this stuff. But the syllabus looks hard - with a lot of reading. So I'm a little nervous, but not too much.


Did you have a good visit with your mom and her bf, or was it just working?

[MissHoneychurch]

29. I am sure it will be worth waiting

it is custom made for me :)

Reading is good, isn't it? And it sounds like you know your stuff and shouldn't have too much problems. :hug:

It was pretty much only working. But we did cook us nice dinner :9

[blueraven95]

30. oooo, what does it look like?

inquiring minds want to know. :)



Reading is good. I'm hoping I still feel the same way at the end of the semester :rofl:


What did you make for dinner?

[MissHoneychurch]

33. I don't have a pic of it

but it will be beige, a 3 seater with sleep function and then also an ottoman on the left side of it. I will take a pic once I got it.

Let's see, Friday my mom and her bf had fish and I had shrimp, Saturday we had a Moussaka and Sunday we had Chicken Korma with rice :)

Is the class only once a week?

[blueraven95]

35. it sounds nice

I hope its extremely comfortable. :)


That sounds like excellent meals to me. (Of course, my idea of cooking is usually heating up hot dogs. :rofl: But I'm really good at baking. I actually enjoy that.)


The class is actually mostly every other week, which really surprised me, so there is a lot to do between classes. (Which is fine.) It's 4 hours on Saturday, just about every other Saturday. I'm not so sure it's a good idea, but I know the university is experimenting with different ways to hold classes, so I'll hold my judgment until we are farther into the semester.

[MissHoneychurch]

37. I enjoy cooking

of course when I cook for myself it is mostly pasta. But when I get the chance I like to try new dishes. Same goes with baking. I enjoy it but there is no sense in baking a cake for myself.

[blueraven95]

43. I think that's part of my problem.

I don't like cooking enough to go all out for just me, and I don't have people over enough to do a lot of cooking otherwise. I've been working on that.

[MissHoneychurch]

51. Like for your friend

when he is coming? :evilgrin:

Whenever I visit neweurope (which isn't very often) I bake a cake. That is mainly the only time I get a chance to bake. Or a reason. And for my b.day :D

[blueraven95]

54. exactly...

I love a good excuse to bake a fantastic cake. :evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

55. And that is the best excuse

We have a saying here in Germany ... loves goes through the stomach :evilgrin:

[blueraven95]

57. we have a similar saying here.

so it must be true :silly:

I gotta run, it's getting busy here. Have a good day! :hug: :hi:

[BarenakedLady]

31. Good morning.

I'm glad you are settling in to your new place.

I'm meeting with a mortgage broker to see what type of situation I am facing. I need a place to live and don't know what I could possibly afford. Fun stuff. :sarcasm:

I need a job.

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

34. Good morning BNL

yeah, it is nice to see the progress and really start to feel at home.

Good luck with the job hunting and also with the broker. I hope you find something that suits you and that you can afford :hug:

[Brewman_Jax]

32. G'day, MissH

:hi: :hug:

I'm sure that you're relieved that the unpacking is almost done.

[MissHoneychurch]

36. Morning L_A

good to see ya :hug:

Yes, I am more than glad. And to know that I don't plan on moving anytime soon if ever again makes it even more sweet :D

How are you doing?

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Brewman_Jax]

44. Doing well

and a Merry Chinese New Year to you!

My brothers now both have jobs after being laid off for months.

Now, if my soccer team could win tonight... :D

[MissHoneychurch]

45. Merry Chinese New Year to you too

:hug:

Good for your brothers. That are good news considering the economy these days.

I will make sure I dream of them winning, since I am sure I will be asleep when they play :D

[Brewman_Jax]

46. I know

but I'll be out there with them. We practiced on Sunday and my ankle feels good. The weather is good and we'll give our opponents a good match up. :thumbsup:

[MissHoneychurch]

47. I will definitely dreaming

of you them then :D

[Brewman_Jax]

48. Of course!

:P

[femmocrat]

49. Good morning, MissHoneyChurch and fellow Loungers.

I am home because of a snow day. This would be a good thing, except.... I drove to school over treacherous roads to find out that it was canceled. Then I had to drive home over the same treacherous roads. And it isn't even snowing anymore!

We did have a 2-hr. delay, but apparently they canceled while I (and others) were on the road. I am so annoyed. Now we have to make this day up in June... and dammit, I went to school! We have already lost Easter break.

So I'm in a rotten mood and bored. Hope everyone else is having a better day.

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

52. Good morning femmocrat

:hug:

Sounds like you need to make yourself a hot chocolate, pick a nice book, cuddle on the couch and relax :hug:

:hi:

[Haole Girl]

50. Good Morning MHC!

Glad you are making progress with your condo. Love the pic! :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

53. Good morning Haole Girl

It is a good feeling to see the condo come together and look more and more like MY PLACE :D

How are you doing?

:loveya: :hug: :hi:

[Haole Girl]

56. I've been pretty sick

Feeling a little more human, today, for the first time in a week. :loveya: :hug: :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

58. Glad to hear that

:hug:

Hope your health improves and you feel like yourself soon again :loveya:
