Good morning Lounge

[MissHoneychurch]

How are you today? How was your weekend? Tell me, why are weekends always too short???
I bought some pillows for my new couch Saturday. And went for a drink with a friend.
Yesterday I wanted to be good and went for a bike ride in the afternoon. But the wind was too cold still for my ears. My one ear started hurting like hell and I didn't bring anything with me to cover it. So I had to cut short the ride and went home. The rest of the day I used to be a couch potato.
All in all it was a nice weekend.

This morning I barely made it out of bed. I wanted to stay in bed. But work was calling, what can I say.

1. Good Morning MissH

Nice picture.
I had an OK weekend.
I didn't even leave the house or put on pants yesterday :D It was nice.
But it's monday again grrr!!
I'm about over the cold too.

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Good morning Sky

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Sounds like a relaxing weekend :)
How is your toe btw?

[Sky Masterson]

3. Much better

I can't bend it anymore and it's still sore. But it is getting better.
I don't think I'll be kicking anything for a while. :) Thank you asking and remembering :loveya: :hi: :hug:

[From The Ashes]

4. Good morning, MissH,

I have a new Grandson!


LittleFTA born 2/27 5:59 CST.

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Good morning FTA

Congrats to the new grandson. Is it your first?

[From The Ashes]

9. no he's my second...

My younger son had a daughter a year ago.
Here's a pic:



That's me, littleFTA #1, and my younger son.

[Lil Missy]

5. I want the kitty in your sig.

Give him/her to me immediately.

Else I'll have my dog come kiss you to death, so I can abscond with the cat.

[MissHoneychurch]

7. Good morning Lil Missy

his name is Simon. He is two years old by now :D

And you would have to deal with AirmensMom. He lives with her. And his feline brothers and sisters. :D

[old mark]

8. Good Monday morning to you again....

I feel the way you did yesterday - I'm going back to bed in a few minutes.

Have a great day.

[MissHoneychurch]

14. Good morning mark

:hi:

You know it is not fair to tell me you go back to bed ... while I am slaving away at work :rofl:

[old mark]

94. Well, I'll keep you in mind

While I'm at home all day....
I'm certainly glad somebody's working!
You might soon be the only one.

[Richard Steele]

10. Good morning, MHC!

My little stray calico buddy gave birth to her kittens this weekend.

I built her a waterproof cat house with electric heat the other week,
and she was using that...until her time came, when she ran off
and gave birth in the woods somewhere.

It's well below freezing here, so I have little hope that
those kittens will live long enough for me to ever see them.

She's a sweet cat, my Calico Crybaby......but she's not a SMART cat. :(

I'm kinda bummed about it.

[MissHoneychurch]

12. Good morning Richard

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Is there a chance for you to search for the kittens? Maybe follow your little calico?

[Richard Steele]

96. No, she loves me too much to let me follow her.

As long as I'm outside, she won't leave. She follows ME
all around the grounds, for as long as I'm there. Then
she hangs around the back door for 20 minutes after
I go inside.

And whatever direction she goes to return to her kittens,
I haven't yet been able to spot her going that way
through any of the windows. :(

[Droopy]

11. Howdy Miss H

I had an good weekend. Did some relaxing, some writing, and went to one of my uncle's birthday party. Yeah, time seems to fly by when we are free to do what we'd like. I don't understand it either.

Here is a picture of the truck I used to own. It was taken in the late 90s in Seattle, Washington on one of the first trips I ran with it. I wish I still owned that truck.

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Good morning Droopy

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

:wow: That is quite a truck!!! Am I seeing it correctly, that you had a second trailer on it as well?

[Droopy]

15. No just one trailer

I was just backed up real close to the grey trailer so the front of my truck wouldn't be hanging out in the intersection. :)

I had a lot of fun in that truck. I also had some hard times as well, to be honest. But owning that rig was good for me. The situations I encountered in it have been the fodder of some stories for me.

[MissHoneychurch]

18. I saw you posted another story this weekend

haven't had the time to read it yet though.

[Droopy]

19. That's cool. It'll be here :)

It looks to be one of my better stories judging by the response.

[malta blue]

16. Good morning!

Yes the weekend was too short :(

I am getting ready to head to work a little early because of the imminent snow. Not really sure how much we will get...

Have a terrific day :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

17. Good morning malta

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Have a save trip to work :hug:

At the moment we have something like spring here, but it is supposed to get cold again. Darn it.

Have a great day too. :hug:

[blueraven95]

20. Good Afternoon, MissH

I had a great weekend - my party went really well - but it was way too short. We had a weather forecast for 5-8 inches of snow overnight, so I was hoping for a day off, but so far we've only gotten about an inch of that, so we are open. I woke up super early, and after staying in bed for 30 minutes without being able to fall asleep, I decided to come into work early, which is why I'm here now. I'll get to leave early too. :)


I like the picture today. It's quite interesting.


:hi: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

22. Good morning blueraven!!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

So happy for you that your party went sp well. How was your mom's cake? I am still waiting for my piece :D

The picture I took in Darmstadt, a town near Frankfurt, which has a bunch of Art Nouveau buildings and an Orthodox church.

[blueraven95]

24. the cake was delicious

it was a 3 layers of vanilla cake with a chocolate and raspberry ganache between the layers and an almond and vanilla icing. Very, very good! And it disappeared very quickly. :( I was hoping for some leftovers. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

25. Didn't had much leftovers from my party either

OK, I had two Creme Caramel left but they are gone by now too :rofl:

[blueraven95]

26. well, you can't expect those to last

:9

[MissHoneychurch]

27. Nope

not with me near by :rofl:

[blueraven95]

31. I think that's part of the point of parties!

So you can have those sweets in the house afterwards.




I did end up with tons of different appetizers. My fridge is full.

[MissHoneychurch]

32. You got there something

sounds like you are covered for your lunch this week :)

[blueraven95]

34. yes, thank goodness!

Lunches are going to be very easy. :D



Did you enjoy your couch this weekend? Have you gotten used to it yet?

[MissHoneychurch]

36. Oh yes, I slept very well on it yesterday afternoon

:rofl:

Very comfy. It sucks you into sleep, I tell ya!!!

[blueraven95]

44. that sounds heavenly!

although, not so good if you are trying to do anything besides sleep while you are sitting on it. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

47. Who says I was sitting???

:rofl:

[blueraven95]

48. hehehe

well, that would definitely do it.

:rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

49. It sure did

There was a documentary on TV about U.S. Grant. Well, I saw the part about his first years (till the Civil War started) and the part about his after-presidency years till he died. I slept in between :hide:

[blueraven95]

52. eh,

I think falling asleep was understandable - you fell asleep before things got exciting!

[MissHoneychurch]

53. I got the same feeling

missed the good parts.

[blueraven95]

55. so you'll watch it again later

no big deal




Do you have any plans for this evening? Doing anything fun?

[MissHoneychurch]

56. If they show it again

normally in Germany they don't repeat stuff like that. Only stupid shows.

After work my friend and I will go to our new mall again. She wants to buy something.

[blueraven95]

62. that sounds like fun

how new it the mall? Does it have interesting architecture?

[MissHoneychurch]

64. New new

they opened last Thursday. Very interesting architecture. I love it. Once it calmed down a bit I will go there with my camera

Here are some pictures
http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-40010.html#backToArticle=609363

[blueraven95]

75. wow, that is spectacular!

definitely a place that would be fun to photograph!



sorry, my responses are so delayed. I'm the only one in, because of snow (everyone else wimped out) and I'm rescheduling everyone's meetings.

[MissHoneychurch]

76. No problem

I'm (pretending) to be busy here too :)

So you could have had a day off????? :wow: You definitely should leave early.

[blueraven95]

77. oh, I'll be leaving early, absolutely.

I think the only reason the university didn't close was because it's the new president's first day. I mean, even the state government partially closed down.


I think I'll get out of here at about 2:00 today. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

78. That is a perfect time to get out

:D

Did the new president show up?

[blueraven95]

79. I'm sure he did.

he lives on campus, in a gorgeous building. His walk is maybe 3 minutes from his home to his office.

[MissHoneychurch]

80. Well yeah

I am sure there needs to be some more snow before he isn't coming to work.

I'm going to stay for 1 1/2 to 2 more hours.

[blueraven95]

82. are you staying late?

Wouldn't that make it around 6:00 your time? Or am I off?

[MissHoneychurch]

83. Yep

trying to get some plus time again. Used up quite some hours last month. I prefer to have plus time in case of an emergency. Like leaving early on a Friday :)

No, you are not off. I will work till between 5.30 and 6pm my time.

[blueraven95]

84. yeah, you had a nice chunk of time off last week.

lucky! :D

[MissHoneychurch]

86. Yeah I did

and now I need to work up some plus again. I prefer taking the hours instead of working them :D

[blueraven95]

87. I think we all do.

:D

[MissHoneychurch]

89. Now to something completely different

:D

Tell me about your party :D

[blueraven95]

91. it went really well

(thank god) - lots of people showed up and they all got along :woohoo:


I have a lot of different friends from a lot of different places and I'm always worried that they won't like each other. But generally they do, because mostly they are awesome!

I was also really careful to not invite those people who I don't really like, but I hang out with a lot, because they are friends of people I do like. They're feelings are probably hurt, but I don't care. Go me! :rofl:


I was also really pleased with how well my apartment worked for the party - I really love the place, but I was concerned that it might not have the best flow for a lot of people. But it did. Yay!


Can you tell that I'm a worrier, yet? :silly:


So you have to come visit, so I can throw another party soon. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

92. Only if you promise not to worry

:rofl:

Going now. OK, so I leave earlier than expected. Have a great a afternoon!!!!

:loveya:

[blueraven95]

93. Have a great evening!

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

29. Good morning, blueraven!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I thought about you and wondered how your party was going. :bounce: Glad it went well. So you had a nice birthday? :party:

I'm surprised to see you so early, but also glad! And you get to leave early, too? :woohoo:

[blueraven95]

33. Good Morning!

:loveya:


It was a great party - and I had been really worried about it beforehand. I get so nervous feeling responsible for everyone having a good time. :silly:


It may have been a mistake coming in early, because now I want to go home and go back to sleep, but getting off earlier will be worth it. :woohoo:


How are you doing?

[AirmensMom]

37. Don't you hate that?

Feeling like YOU have to make sure everyone has fun? Ack! But that's me exactly. :silly:

Take one of those power naps. Just make sure you look like you're thinking when you close your eyes. :evilgrin:

I'm good, thanks. Worked WAY too hard over the weekend, but I like what I accomplished.

[blueraven95]

39. I know!

I think I accomplished it, but I definitely stressed out about it beforehand. I'm such a worrier. :)


I might. So far, I'm still the only one here - which is really, really weird. Usually half the office is in by now. :shrug: If people start complaining about the snow I'm going to laugh at them. When I came in, there was only about an inch of stuff on the ground.



What did you get done the weekend? Anything amazing?

[AirmensMom]

43. Hehe ...

I used to always be the first one to work. Then they expected me to stay late to make up for it. x(

Yeah, I did some tile work. It's totally amazing.

Guys are here already, so I have to duck out for a bit. Take your power nap. :D

[blueraven95]

46. talk you you later!

:hug:

[Callalily]

21. Good morning MissH!

My weekend, like yours went way to fast. There's always yoga classes on Saturday morning, then errands. Other than that, just did domestic chores and relaxed. Relaxing seems to be the norm on weekends for me lately. :rofl:

Here's a pic of my couch. I think it's a little more broken in than yours. ;)



Had a fire going both Saturday and Sunday evenings.

[MissHoneychurch]

23. Good morning Callalily

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

You are right, your couch looks similar to mine. Except the broken in part :) I did my best to break it in yesterday. Give me a couple more weekends though.

Your fire place looks nice!!! Love it.

[AirmensMom]

28. Good morning, MissHC!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

New pillows? Pic? :bounce: What color are they?

Bike ride sounds good, but I'm with you on the cold ears. Ouch! Being a couch potato sounds much more comfortable.

My weekend was WAY too busy. Had a lot of homework and didn't finish it all. But I gave it a valiant try! Got too pooped at around 4:00 yesterday and couldn't do one more thing. Couldn't even fold the laundry. Just flopped on the couch and went to sleep.

[MissHoneychurch]

30. Good morning AirmensMom

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

The pillows are brown and beige. Gonna have to take pics and post them, I know :)

You do know that your body needs a break every now and then :hug:

[AirmensMom]

35. Oh, two colors!

:bounce: Can't wait to see the pic!

Yes, I know. And my body was happy to tell me. Harleydad had to remind me to eat and he cooked food. Guess I was on a mission. :D

No bricks since Thursday. They came on Friday, but the weather was miserable. Then it rained all day Saturday. It's not raining today, but it's probably too cold. I'd sure like to get that mess gone!

[MissHoneychurch]

38. Harleydad cooked???

make three red crosses in the calendar :rofl:

And they can't work when it is cold???

[AirmensMom]

40. He does sometimes.

He actually makes the best burger around. :9

They can work when it's cold, but the mortar doesn't set up right. We have a problem with some of the mortar on one wall crumbling because the first guys put it on when it was too cold.

[MissHoneychurch]

41. Thank you

now I am craving hamburger ....

OK, that makes sense. Better they wait then. You don't need more problems.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

42. Good Morning MissHoneychurch!

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

We have 3-4" of snow on the ground and it looks like we'll get twice that by lunch.

The car is warming up, but I'm waiting until I hear word that we'll be open today. I called the store but there was no answer.

Love the pic, and I cheated and read downthread to see where it was from.

:D

My feet are already telling me to stay inside. I hafta agree :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

45. Good morning SCE

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

That is no cheating :hug: You are lucky I explained it at all :rofl:

If no one answers the chances that you stay closed are pretty good, aren't they? :D

[SalmonChantedEvening]

50. Either that or

The manager will call around and tell us to head in at our own pace once he's made it in safely.

It won't make much sense to open and be unable to make deliveries.

Then again, I've seen dumber. :rofl:

Just checked outside, and another half inch has already covered what were clean sidewalks 40 minutes ago.

My blanket pile is at the ready. This looks like a long, cold day.

[MissHoneychurch]

51. Make sure

you have hot chocolate and a good book nearby :D

[SalmonChantedEvening]

54. Yesm :)

And of course, good company...



Daisy. :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

58. Well yes of course

I am sure she will be excited if you stay home. And she looks like she is a fantastic heating pad :D

[SalmonChantedEvening]

63. She likes sleeping at my feet.

My feet have yet to complain. ;)

Since I'm staying home, it's time for some Stephanie Miller.

Her take on CPAC should be one for the books. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

65. So it is decided?

your shop isn't opening today?

Enjoy your free day!!!!

Is SNL doing something on CPAC?? I mean that whole event is comedy pure :rofl:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

69. My boss hasn't called yet.

I'll call back by 10. No sense in forcing the issue ;)

I'm betting SNL and John Stewart will have something great.

Colbert must be in heaven. :rofl:

Get home and couch again. :hug: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

70. I can't watch those

I get Countdown with Keith Olberman as podcast. That helps a lot.

I will be going in 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

[Brewman_Jax]

57. G'day, MissH

:hi: :hug:

Winter came to visit this weekend, but just enough to be a nuisance. Not enough not to go to work.

What's the pic of the day?

[MissHoneychurch]

59. Good morning Brewman

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Snow in Atlanta??? I bet the planes were delayed for hours :rofl:

The pic shows a Russian-Orthodox church in a town near Frankfurt.

[Brewman_Jax]

60. Flights were cancelled

about 450 flights were cancelled yesterday. The few delays were not more than an hour. If the snow fell 12 hours later...

[MissHoneychurch]

61. I figured

I remember some years ago I flew to Savannah over Atlanta (came from Dallas). There were just a few snowflakes in Atlanta. But all flights were delayed.

[Brewman_Jax]

68. More than a few

this time. Here's a link to the on-line photo albums of the snow yesterday http://www.wsbtv.com/weather/18824222/detail.html

Looked like the Land of Winter for a few hours.

[MissHoneychurch]

71. It looks beautiful

:D

[Brewman_Jax]

72. It was very nice

but I'm ready for spring, and there's still soccer games tomorrow. Gonna have to bring out the thermal clothes once again. :P

[MissHoneychurch]

73. Poor you

don't you get warm enough while running around? Or are you only standing around? :hide:

[Brewman_Jax]

74. Some of both

since the game is 7 vs. 7 coed, some break time is needed. :boring:

[Road Scholar]

66. Good morning Ms. HC.

I hope you have a great day! Thank you for another pretty pic.:hi: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

67. Good morning Road Scholar

my day is decent. Not really in the mood to work, but I survived most of the day already :rofl:

Thank you. I enjoy showing off my pictures :blush:

How was your weekend?

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Road Scholar]

81. It was cold and rainey all weekend so I was lazy and stayed in

and stayed by the fire and watched it rain. I like those kinds of weekends, they are very thought provoking. I have come to believe that thinking is a lost art. :shrug:
I guess you have discovered that I like to show off my pics too. :loveya: :hug:
Enjoy today, and don't worry about the work, it will keep up to 30 days without refrigeration. :)
Play pretty today .
Regards,
The President of the MissHoneychurch fan club

[MissHoneychurch]

85. You know I love your pictures

:D

A co-worker was already complaining that he wouldn't get his books fast enough. Just finished that chore. Now what next????


AWWWW :blush:

[rolltideroll]

88. Good Morning

Nice pic

[MissHoneychurch]

90. Good morning

thank you :)

I hope you had a nice and relaxing weekend.

[Inchworm]

95. G'mornin

That statue is a breakdancer? :P

My day is going well so far. I'm snowed in and that's ok until tomorrow. I did a big grocery trip in preparation for the snow, so I get to play with food.

As for the weekend.. I'm of a different school. Weekends are always tooo long. :D

:hi:
