Michigan Mania Magical Minglers : Chatting it up more on 94

Huntwoman · 02-27-2013, 05:04 AM

I'll bet Buck is busy all day. I'm supposed to be in my craft room, just have to get off the computer. I have done a few things, really.

Schnauzermom · 02-27-2013, 05:07 AM

That boy is SO pitiful. If I lay anything where he can get to it - toss a jacket over the chair, whatever - he curls up on it. When I travel, he'll curl up on the floor on my dirty laundry!

vz5dzh · 02-27-2013, 05:17 AM

I am picturing Bailey with her head stuck in a peanut butter jar. Probably not a good idea for her.

Cathy_S · 02-27-2013, 05:18 AM

Oh, Ewok, silly boy.

I hope Buddy is enjoying his PB jar.

Did you decide to keep him forever?

Huntwoman · 02-27-2013, 05:19 AM

Oh, is it Buddy? My memory sucks lately.

Another item off my to do list. 2 more going in the mail today.

vz5dzh · 02-27-2013, 05:21 AM

I have two whole coworkers with me here in the office now.

I haven't signed any paperwork, but no one is taking bets on the outcome.

Sucker bet. Didn't think there was ever a question!

Good morning, again. I did manage to fall asleep, but dream land was NOT kind to me. Sometimes I wonder why the mind reaches back into the trenches and pulls people into dreams! Crazy!

plaid pony · 02-27-2013, 06:02 AM

It is a mess over here. The roads are just wet, but the walks and drives are all slush. And of course, my not-smart neighbors were parked in the street, so the end of the drive is a MESS! I keep telling A to get his butt out there, but he's stalling.

MichelleGoodrich · 02-27-2013, 06:07 AM

Good morning, Minglers!

I'm still stoked about connecting with Pony on Ancestry.com yesterday. How fun!

We got about 6" of wet, heavy snow. It's beautiful but the roads are yucky. Not impassable, unless you have a very light or rear-wheel drive vehicle. Still, it would have been a nice day to stay home.

How is everyone else?

Nothing can be completely set out, we need to get trim on all the rooms yet. Once we get that done, the bedroom and craft room will be done. Then we have to wait til the middle of March for the guy to come in and finish the living room and kitchen vinyl, then the trim work.

The cat has been exploring the house since Sunday. His stuff has a new home down in the basement. We haven't gotten his window seat up yet, but I'm sure he will enjoy the view once we do.

That's wonderful! I'm so happy for you! A lot of work but I'm sure you will love it when it's all settled in.

Well, that's good news, at least!

Everyone is here today. I don't think we got it nearly as bad as you folks to the east.

juniperbarn · 02-27-2013, 06:16 AM

Oh, yes, Kim! I'm so glad you got everything moved! Oh, happy day!

juniperbarn · 02-27-2013, 06:18 AM

My boss is leaving Friday for vacation. He's a little manic. Why do I always get stuck with manic bosses.

You people that "forget" to eat are a mystery to me. My stomach would never let me forget. It's by sheer will power alone that I don't eat 8 meals a day. I wish I would forget sometimes.

Don't worry, Lisa. It makes up for the times when I will eat 8x per day, just because.

That's great news! I hope he continues to improve.

Card? What is this card you speak of? I vaguely remember something called "stamping" and "card" had something to do with it. Oh, well, maybe it will come to me.

Not sure it you all know or not - broke my foot on the eve of the 12th and had surgery on the 19th to put in a screw. Snapped the fifth metatarsal in the middle.

I saw that on FB. Hope it heals quickly!

This morning's shocking experience. Lay clothes out on the bed. Go to get dressed. Pull on sweater. Remember that A> Ewok has been outside, and B> that Ewok likes to lay on your clothes. Melted snow. It's COLD AND WET.

*eek*

shari stamper · 02-27-2013, 06:54 AM

We were eating breakfast and heard a bam on the patio. Somehow, a squirrel had gotten on the roof to our patio and knocked our home-made bird feeder over! What a clever guy! It was hanging by a hook and somehow he got it off. I ended up just spreading the seeds out from the patio for all to enjoy.

Morning!

When I went to bed, I was still tickled! It's amazing and fun! So, can I still call you Sis or do I refer to you as Cousin?

Both! Either! I think we'll stick with Sis but can introduce each other as "my cousin, Michelle/Michele"!

juniperbarn · 02-27-2013, 08:12 AM

I'm so jealous you two are related! I want to be related to a Mingler!

MichelleGoodrich · 02-27-2013, 08:16 AM

You never know, Joyce! You might just be!

I want to know if I'm related to Emma, too. My great-grandmother Hoover's family traces all the way back through England to France, before the Norman invasion. It's very, very interesting!

juniperbarn · 02-27-2013, 08:30 AM

My mom is really into genealogy. On my dad's side one of my relatives wrote a huge book about the descendents of John Brownfield. And another one traced that side of the family back to England and Wales, and all the variations of the name Brownfield. Farmers from way back, lol!

I don't recall which family name it its, but I have a line of relatives from Yorkshire!

MichelleGoodrich · 02-27-2013, 08:42 AM

Well, Joyce, I know that I have Brownes in my family but don't recall any Brownfields. But I've not finished my searching, so you never know!

Huntwoman · 02-27-2013, 08:56 AM

Geneology is not going to work for me, my Mom swears I was born on Monkey Island at the San Francisco zoo. My brother got us pieces of it when it was dismantled years ago. Dead end there. I have no reason to doubt her claims.

Mom's never lie.
