Hey Elmira! What's up?

Congrats on getting your bee slippers!

Thanks Hime!! How are you doing?

hello Elmira! ^_^
I am just passing though and leaving greetings. :heart:

Thanks babe! I'm like seconds away from logging out and going to bed - it's after 1 here :shock:

Good Night.

I will talk to you later on. Enjoy your sleep and hopefully you got your lil lily to bed without any problems. I know when my sis was little if she was dead alseep it was easy to get her to fall back to sleep but if she was like napping and you woke her she was up for a nice while lol.

*pounces Elmira's thread* Haven't heard from you today, just checking in to make sure that everything is going relatively all right. No plots of murder have cropped up?

I got a hold of a lawyer. Will see them next week about all this plus another one about some financial issues. If I had more time today... you would have seen me on the news. It was quite bad this morning because on top of being a useless sack, he lied about a money issue. Was glad to go to school...

Speaking of which - still having internet issues. School was interesting. Met up with one of my old pals and met a new person I think will be fun. Found out a friend is coming back to finish up. However, I'm gonna be surrounded by some squirrelly Christians that are gonna be a little over the top - AND a bunch of 18-20yo who think the world revolves around them. Lots of vacant stares. :ninja:

Karate chop them into mince meat and then shove them into a wood chipper...always worked for me. Smaller pieces, hard to put back together.

Money is the absolute worst. Almost wish we could go back to the barter system. Life was much easier then. Currency just creates greed, greed creates liars, liars steal from the honest. Horrible horrible horrible.

Got to talk to Rodd last night via e-mail. We were naughty :ninja: But no one else was around, so it was all good.

I just wish my mortgage company would work something out with me. I don't want to refinance with Mark or anyone else, but may have to. Regardless of what happens between me and Mark, I have to start paying back student loans next year :shock: and I owe *cough*50k*cough*

Our internet is back up!! So... I can resume the job search :squee: Also started back to cosmo school and met a very nice returning student. She is into ghost hunting, weird spirituality (although Christian) and is just nice! Part of me wants to stay because I have friends there :( Part of me knows that I need money... so, I will look and if I find an opportunity that I just cannot refuse, then I'm gonna take it!

Survival is the name of the game. Do what you have to do, school will be there when life allows you more time to commit to it. Hooray for fixed internet. Was getting lonely without you.

I know that the perfect job isn't out here right now and I may have to move anyway - so the house may just be a moot point. When the job is there, I'll find it - always do. Oddly enough, I had a really hard time last year looking when I didn't know I was pregnant. Out here, you have to know someone to get in the door anywhere. It's odd - so different from Cali.

Was getting lonely not chatting with you, too. Really missed being here... Hopefully I can spend a little more time online tomorrow.

Elmir looks like a dolly. :o

Throws confetti in thread.

Where you been hiding Swift? You've been so quiet as of late...just making sure that you weren't hauled off to prison for stabbing a fellow student in the butt with a curling iron.

It's been a little close, but... No - school has been good. In fact, I've been there until we close, dash home, rescue Otto from daycare, race home to wait for Lily at the bus stop, deal with dinner, shower, put kids to bed - wash, rinse, repeat - every day this week and most of last week. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and I've been trying to figure out what to do about my house.. or not do... But, at the end of the day, I can say with a straight face that in spite of the drama, my hair looks good!

Elmira Swift - hey there dear! =3
I wish I still had a spare scarf of order, I used it to get my gold clover hairpin. =P
Otherwise I would sell it to you, darn. =/
Its kinda hard to match the scarf, in fact, this is the first outfit I have found that I like it with. xD
They don't sell that often but not many people are questing them so at least you won't have much competition. ^_^
*dusts with good luck* ; )
I will keep my eye out for one for you. :hug:

Thank you Crunky!! :glomp:

Y'all, I promise to post more tomorrow when I'm home and sitting upon my sit bones more. Today... I am pooped. My doctor's appointment went better than expected - so I won't need anyone bailing me out of jail just yet.

Pokes thread.

Still questing for the Pumpkin Candy Holder.

*pounces the thread and Swift* Morning dearie. How was your weekend?

Doing ok. I had Otto to myself. Lily was at a campout and Mark worked. Last night, we had an awards/dinner for her troop, and it seemed to be a bit of an endless night of kids running amok. Hopefully, I can get online today since Mark has the day off.

Ahh yes, I remember award banquets. They're more for the parents then the kids. Truthfully, perfect attendance awards should not be given to the kids, but the parents since they are the ones making sure their kid is there on time. Right?
Dad was always confused why I always got the award, yet he was driving me to bowling.

Well, the damn dryer at the house decided this morning that it wasn't going to start. I'd turn the start button and it would make the sound like it wanted to start, yet didn't. So I called work and told them I was going to be late, raced over to my parent's house and am using their dryer as we speak. Have to get these sheets done since I have interning all week and sheets must be washed after each client. Damn hygiene rules.

And to top it all, pretty sure I am going to start my period today, or tomorrow. What joy. (Just kill me now)

Seems like a few people I know are about to start their periods as well - including myself. Kind of an added note of fun when I'm standing on my feet at school working on either a manikin (head) or a client. AND I'm finding that the chaos in the school because of the activity level plus the number of people in close proximity to me for 6 hours is starting to wear on me. I have to shut my phone off and turn on music on the way home - just need some peace. The good news is that I'm doing well with school and home life is pretty chill. Also discovering that I work with too many 18-19yo girls who tell me stuff I DON'T want to hear about as far as extra-curricular activities go. Just not stuff a mom should know about.

We have some pretty crazy sanitation guidelines as well. I have to wash all combs/brushes and soak them in a solution, dry them off... spray stuff down constantly with sanitizer, wash hands all the time... and we do that with the facial/body work room. We're going to be licensed to touch all over, but not like you do. Fortunately, no bikini waxes. I hated doing those when I was a facialist. So, I feel you pain about the sheets.

Still questing for the female Welcome Shirt.

Morning morning. Took the day off work and just woke up, it was nice to sleep in. *stretches* Thinking about heading over to my parent's place where they have internet and a computer that works. Posting on my phone, strangely is not that much fun at all.
Takes way too much effort and forever to scroll to the threads that I want to post in. :lol:

That does sound as if it is full of suck! Sister, I wish you lived out here so I could practice cutting hair on you - nothing crazy. OR give you a mani/pedi OR a facial. I'm starting to acquire so many manikin heads that it looks like a small choir when I open my locker.
