Geez, I have missed blogging, my days have been crazy, I truly don't know where this week went. I wonder at times, how I get thru this craziness we call life. My business has def picked up, which I must say, must mean the economy is hopefully on a upswing. I, however, forgot how to work busy, so many months have passed of my business being slow, that now when the phones are ringing and the door is swinging open, I get lost. Literally lost in a swirl of toilet water. And I truly have to swim back up to the surface with all that rotten spew that we see so often in our toilet. Kicking and screaming I resurface, trying hard to hold my breath, and once up, I release a sign of relief and spit out a few unmentionables.
It is good to splash around in toilet water every now and again, as it def brings you back to reality. Coming back up, leaves the toilet rim a distance memory, and the lost seem more manageable.
Have I mentioned how much I miss blogging....
:O)
1?
ReplyDeleteI did, I finally did it, I got first, and the best part, is I will be first all day...
I am so excited..
Yea for me..
HA, my that looks so pretty being first..
ReplyDeleteShirley, Shirley, Please write this down in your owl notebook..
Ok, so now what happens... I got first, and now what do I do...
ReplyDeleteI don't want to go back into toilet water, so do I just wait for someone to show up...
Who is giving lessons on first?
Oh My I just realized, I got 2 and 3 and now 4...
ReplyDeleteHA!
Well, this is boring...
ReplyDeleteI am waiting but nothing is happening...

Morning Carol!!! Are you all clean now? Congrats on one thru 8!!! I DO know what you mean...It seems that life here has been on fast forward also! Between planning for one wedding, two showers, tax season and catching every virus known to man, I have not had time to pee!!!!
ReplyDeleteCAROL...my my, you are looking a little flushed!! Grats on 1 thru 8...all day!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your biz is picking up! I hope you are right that it means the economy is picking up ;)
Have I mentioned I missed your blogging,too?
SCIRISH...welcome home...I missed you! Hope you can flush those viruses down the toilet!
CAROL - Congrats on 1 - 8!!! I'm glad your business is picking up....you'll get thru this. It is a good thing!! :O) :O) :O)
ReplyDeleteSCIRISH - Boy you are busy!! So sorry you are dealing with sickness, too.
MOHO - Congrats on 10!!! Any big plans for the weekend?
I have off this weekend. I have a date with the washing machine, and of course Mom's Taxi is in business.
Hey HODI! Enjoy your hot date! It'll send you "spinning" bwahahaaa
ReplyDeleteI am going to try and stay warm (snowing and cccccold), maybe get an oil change and hopefully meet up with my friend that had to cancel last weekend due to sucky weather.
SHIRLEY...thanks! {{hugs}}
MOHO - I'm kinda hoping for a unbalanced load or two.....lol!! But I'll take the spinning. :O) Have fun with your friend!!
ReplyDeleteHmmmfft! It was freakin 60 degrees yesterday...and yet Sunday through Monday there is a Winter Snow Watch!!
ReplyDeleteHODI...don't pull a TINA and wash a load of water...just sayin!
ReplyDeleteHey, Scirish, Mo, and JodiHo..
ReplyDeleteI am at the office, I got a few calls on my cell this morning, so here I am.. not sure how long I will be here.. Oh well.. it is actually a "good thing"
Scirish,
Glad you have not had time to pee, as swirling around in the toilet water I have had enough of it.. LOL
See ya all later...
ReplyDeleteHope all as a good day!
♥♥♥
Good Morning Carol Congrats on first and welcome back. I always look for your comments because you are so kind in mentioning everyone. I too have been busy. Is it because I am getting older that time is moving so fast. It's two months tomorrow since we celebrated the new year. It is so trite yet so unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Scirish, Maureen and Jodi and all the other little owls.
ReplyDeleteI must feed my babies and myself. I will be back after I do my monthly weigh in at Weight Watchers.

ReplyDeleteCarol - I haven't been #1 for a long time but I think I am in the running for the most #25's. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteMorning Glories!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first first Carol!
Carol yes life has been busy and weird for me to. I am a zombie this morning as I had Ritchie last night and did not get to sleep until 3 this morning.
I am so happy to hear your business is doing well. I hear to many reports here about how many businesses are suffering.
Waving at Mo and Jodi and Tinka and Scrishy!
Good Morning!!
ReplyDeleteCPGEM: Congrats on FIRST thru...EIGHT!! Ok..read the blog and all I can think of is the Tidy Bowl man! I'm glad you are back on the surface..pulling yourself outta the bowl..and blogging as only you can once again! Btw..I thought I was the only one who fell in the water...jus' sayin'.. ;)
TINKA - So good to see you here this morning. I think you're right.....25 must belong to you!! Good luck at your weigh-in. ;O)
ReplyDeleteWaving a wing @ LYNN D (kisses to Ritchie for me....even though he kept you up) & ZONA!!!
ReplyDeleteI best get going....Mom's Taxi is leaving.
Hooray for Carol! Obviously, she missed being first, too!
ReplyDeleteWhere IS SacBarb? Good question..
ReplyDeleteOK, off to do my morning toilet...
CPGEM: SACBARB's computer crashed..she will be back as soon as she gets it fixed...which I hope is sooooon!!
ReplyDeleteSCIRISH: Please take that time for yourself today..to pee I mean.. ;)
MO: Our car is in for an oil change today..and hopefully that is it. You know how those mechanics can be..I'm waiting to hear what else they found.
I'm gonna try and send you 20 degrees..it's going to be almost 90here today. Yikes!!
JODI: Didn't you have the same date last weekend..and the one before..and the one before... lol.. I swear it breeds...
ReplyDeleteTINKA: Maybe Spring will not only bring sunshine...but calm and gentle days too!
LYNND: My busy and weird life is coming next month..up til now it's been kinda calm. But you know what they say about calm..
BEAR: See SACBARB update ^^^^
Bear did everything come out okay? :)
ReplyDeleteGood morning everyone!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFor the past two months I felt like someone kept pushing the toliet handle on me!
ReplyDeleteGeeeesh!
I finally feel like my head is above water which feels good.
Good Morning Lynn, Zona-My-Baby, Whabbear, and Iteach. I have been talking to my aunt in Ottawa since I was last on the blog. I still haven't had my shredded wheat so off I go to do that. Boy I have a dull life when all I have to talk about is what I am having for breakfast. LOL
ReplyDeleteZona - Thanks for the kind wishes. Hope all your car needs is an oil change. I have a theory that as soon as one gets a few dollars saved something jumps in and needs to be repaired. Ever since I sold my mom's house there have been more repairs needed to use up the money.
ReplyDelete40
ReplyDeleteTINKA: That's exactly what I'm afraid of...waiting on the call..
ReplyDeleteI had shredded wheat for breakfast too...let's hear it for dull mornings!! :D
CPGEM: Did I mention how very happy I am that your business is doing well? I hadda feeling... :)
G'morning ITEACH! {{hugs}} and only smooth sailing for you... :)
TINA & DIANNE: You would both be so proud of me...I have every window and door open..the sun is shining in!! :D
ReplyDeleteOh, Tinka dull life is good!
ReplyDeleteZona thanks for the hug, here is one back at you! Hugsssssssssssss
I wish I could open one window. We are blessed with 25 degree weather here in Illinois.

SacBarb~ miss you~
Dianne_a_good_wife_in_Denver~ I miss you~ :D
ReplyDeleteIteach - A dull life is good once in a while but I miss those busy days that you are now experiencing - little kids messing up and house and always needing something. I remember when I would wish for days when I had absolutely nothing to do. It's too bad we can't magically take some of the free time we have when we are older and our children have left the nest and place it back in the busy years. I think I am babbling here. I had better eat some breakfast. As soon as I got off the computer last time a second call came, this time it was a relative in Halifax. I guess it's my day for the long distance calls.
ReplyDeleteZona - Let me know what the mechanic says. I will raise my cup of English tea and toast
"dull mornings".
VIG - Hope you are fine. Thinking of you. Call when you have time.
TINA!!! I say they look like plastic, too!! Safe travels today....but I think you're a tad overdressed....don'tcha know. :O) lol @ dropping the kids off at the pool!!!
ReplyDeleteWHABBY - I hope everything comes out ok. :P
ITEACH - We're getting to a whopping 24 degrees today and tomorrow. Can I just say....BRING ON THE SPRING!!!
TINKA - 25 & 50 in one day.....YOU GO GIRL!!!
55
ReplyDeleteHi Jodi - We must have been typing at the same time. That makes me feel close to you.
ReplyDeleteZONA-MY-LUCKY-CHARM!! Thanks for going into Kwik Trip with me...:O)
ReplyDelete58
ReplyDeleteTime for Tea
ReplyDeleteHello TINKA!!! Nice to be close to you, too!! Give Tango and Tia a big belly rub from Wisconsin!!
ReplyDeleteok....who's up for a march?
ReplyDeleteleft, left, left, right, left!!!
ReplyDeleteswirling to the left, swirling to the right......
ReplyDeletestand up
ReplyDeletesit down
ReplyDeletefight, fight, fight!!!
ReplyDeletealmost there......
ReplyDelete69!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGot that out of the way.....now I can get back to spinning!!!
ReplyDeleteJodi - While I am away at Weight Watchers you sneak into #69. You little rascal.
ReplyDeleteI thought the velvet heart shape box of chocolates I received for Valentine's Day may have ruined my weigh in this month but thank goodness it didn't. Now that it's Lent the chocolates have been put away until Easter -- that's 36 days from now, but who's counting.?
I am off to give "Tango and Tia a big belly rub from Wisconsin!!"

Congrats on first, Carol! And, I enjoyed your blog, even though your mind was in the toilet, so to speak. :)
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me, Whabbear, did you take the Browns to the Superbowl? :)
Eunice, you seem to be getting younger each day--how DO you do it??
Hello everyone! Been kinda busy myself the last few days~
Hi Shirley!! Thanks for keeping the stats! I hope all that work isn't what's keeping you out of the nest. I miss you!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandie! I haven't had much to say the last few months. I am also now working in a tax office and have just finished a grueling, very busy week (50.5 hrs). Not much to do except work and sleep. Thanks for thinking of me.
ReplyDeleteSHIRLEY...WOW! That is a lot of work you put into those stats! THANKS!
ReplyDeleteOh, and it is even better because at least we get to see you here!
SANDIE...OMG! ROFLMBFAO@Browns to the Superbowl! The toilet is the only bowl our Browns will ever be in, so it seems!!!
TINKA..congrats on another month of maintaining at W.W.
ITEACH...hi!
Hey gang getting ready to drag my drooping ass into the shower and then go grossry shopping. Yuck!
ReplyDeleteTina so agree about the emeralds. They looked like the rings and jewelry I used to get out of the vending machines for a dime when I was a kid. Since Hollywood is a sucker for this crap I think we could start our own line and call it Vending Crap Jewels.
Shirley so glad to see you post! Very happy that you are working but I bet it is exhausting!
Sacbarb get your damn computer fixed I miss you!
Ronnie are you fishing? Where the hell are you?
Actually there are quite a few posters missing! Where are all of you?
Ok off to shower. See ya all later.
Well I'm cleaning the picnic mess up in the livingroom.
ReplyDeleteWe put a big blanket down in the livingroom and the kids filled up the picnic basket. We ate our lunch on the livingroom pretending we were on a picnic outside.
It was a lot of fun!
Oh, Tina give your mom a great big hug from me.
ReplyDeleteShirley thank you so much for all the stats. I thought about it yesterday and I was hoping you would post them. They are so much fun to read.
ReplyDeleteTINKA: Car is home! No hidden charges. In fact they gave us all the online advertised specials that we didn't know about...woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteTINA: Eunice is looking quite elegant today...and she seems to have lost some weight...I hope she is feeling alright. I thought at first she had a crystal ball on her head...but upon closer inspection I see it's an emerald tiara encircling her bun. Fabulous!! :D
JODI: Anytime!! I just hope you win that Powerball!!
ReplyDeleteSACBARB: Are you sure you aren't just 'visiting' with the kitchen guy...jus' sayin'.. ;)
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteSHIRLEY: Thanks for the stats update!! Looks like I have to step up my game in all departments!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear the job is going so well...knew you could do it.. :)
ITEACH: I could send Nikki over..she'd eat up the picnic mess and you'd be done! ;)
LYNND: You have a drooping ass...SCIRISH has a sniffling ass..what the heck is going on?? :D
MO: I'm trying less !!!! more :) :D :D!
HI SANDIE!
**As always...delete was mine..**
My sister just stopped by with a box of "Skinny Cow" ice cream sandwiches from Costco..chocolate and vanilla..there's plenty for everyone..the change in seasons has begun!! YUM! :D
ReplyDeleteHI All - I just woke up. That was the longest nap ever. I am not sure if I am awake yet.
ReplyDeleteZona - So glad about the car.
ReplyDeletePlease send me some "skinny cow" sandwiches. I want to feel the seasons change. It still feels like winter here although the snowdrops and crocuses give me hope.
Shirley - Thanks for keeping tabs on us.
ReplyDeleteMaureen - Thank you. I almost didn't go to WW today but if I didn't I would have had to pay next month even if my weight was the same. I must get into the habit of weighing in during the middle of the month and not on the last day.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandie - How is it going? Do you have lots of iron?

ReplyDeleteBEBBI!!! Close but no cigar!! TINKA is on fire today!!! :O)
ReplyDeleteJodi: I see that! :) It must be because Tia is better.
ReplyDeleteNothing makes a woman happier than a healthy pet. :) They are our kiddos.
ReplyDeleteOkay going out for the evening..bbl.
ReplyDeleteBebbi - I am sorry I stepped on you at 100. I hope I was gentle. Yes having a healthy pet sure beats the opposite. I was so worried about Tia up until just a few days ago.

ReplyDeleteHappy saturday eve..
ReplyDeleteCpgem - I never thought i would see YOUR face in a toilet bowl - something is just NOT right with that..
we have been using the "Port-a-potty" all week - SO, no swirly water for us!!!
:-)
Today - there was a man talking on his cellphone in the one next to me.......
First - WHO would want to stay in one of those long enough to want to be on the phone..
and second - HOW do you use the cellphone when you are in one of those small things!!!!!
EEEWWWWWWWWWWWw..........
waving howdy to everyone......
cpgem - congrats on FIRST, etc.!!!
we have one more day to go....
hugs to all........
I'm going to go eat ice cream for dinner.....
OMG! As if I didn't think enough of you caring, dedicated, owls... you go to new heights by asking, in all your own polite discrete ways, how my bowels worked today.
ReplyDeleteI'm so touched, especially deep down inside. People just don't normally do that.
I'm happy to report that everything came out fine.
And thanks for asking! You guys are the best!
OMG, I just finished watching "America" on Lifetime.. OMG it was fantastic, if you missed it or it did not come on in your time zone, you have to see it...
ReplyDeleteI love Rosie...
Whabby...
ReplyDeleteSo funny,. everyone concerned if you had a good bowel movement.. and yes only here.. Glad you bowels escaped this morning with little effort...
:O)
Mek,
ReplyDeleteEven tho it just does not seem right, I was surly, swirling in the water...
Cell Phone in a Port-a-Potty, that that is totally wrong..
Shirley,
ReplyDeleteI love all your stats on the owls, I was most excited to see I had one first.. Thanks for being so detailed
and for keeping great owl notes.
Did Sacbarb's computer crash? or is it just giving her trouble.. However I think I agree with someone (sorry can't remember) who posted, that she is perhaps busy with the male cabinet makers...
ReplyDelete:O)
Ronnie,
ReplyDeleteWhere the heck are you? I am starting to think you moved to a place that has tons of Fisherman or no internet service.. I hope its the Fisherman tho as that would be fun...
Miss ya!
Zona,
ReplyDeleteAll I can see is you sitting behind the wheel and beeping your horn in excitement, I think that sight and sound would be very kewl, However don't think the neighbors will think so tho... LOL
Tina,
ReplyDeleteI hope your trip to CA is going well and you have landed safe and sound..
Tinka,
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing your little brown owl today, it is good to see him/her happy.. And your marching, well that just makes it all the more special..
:O)
Did anyone see Birdee today, there was poop all over back window, So I am just wondering if she happen to be flying over NJ
ReplyDeleteShe must be in NJ, we are getting snow tomorrow, so she is bringing the snow on her back to NJ...
ReplyDeleteshe is such a sneaky bird...
I missed Amerika because I was out to dinner. :( I wonder if they will rebroadcast anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteBebbi,
ReplyDeleteThey are showing it again 2nite, it started a 11P my time, it is actually on now...
You must see it...
I am off to bed...
ReplyDeleteGoodnite all..
Sleep well...
:O)
I totally appreciate days when all I have to worry about is Whabby's bowel movement.
ReplyDeleteSeriously! :)
Good night, Carol!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCarol Congrats on #1. You didn't cheat, did you? ;)
ReplyDeleteBear I didn't realize you were having a bowel crisis. I'm glad to hear everything came out okay. :)
I'm waving a wing at all of you lovely Owls. I'm very tired this evening. Had a great time at Lani's daughter's baby shower but it really wore me out. I guess I need to get out more. LOL I hope you all had a nice day. I think I'll be turning in a little early. We are expecting rain to arrive again tonight.
Shirley Thanks for the stats update!
