*waves to everyone*

Hi all! :)

Today I have decided to be lazy and do nothing today. I'm working on a new banner thing and will probably tinker with that today.

I'm contemplating going to see Shrek with the kids but I kind of want to hold off to go see POTC next week. Has anyone seen Shrek yet? If so, is it funny?

Jelly, love the banner.

I agree Amy, I'm not sure if she ever joined our gaia guild under her other account or not.

hello.

Hey Baja. :)

And thanks, guys! We're moving to the Austin area. It's about 4 hours from where we're at now, but much more centralized. Plus, there's much more to do there and hey! We might actually see snow this next year! Husband will get a pay increase and I'll live about half an hour from my high school best friend. I'm so excited!

And Jurupamae - man, I haven't been to a movie in the theatre in ages! In about 2 years, I believe.

What's Purkle? o.O

Aliena: I take it you live in Texas?

ohh sorry for the confusion i should of said i was a purkle i am not anymore because my account had a spack attack and i haven't joined back up again on a sub accout. hehe anyway my name is alyce

*waves*

Hey Nuzzles. :) Yep, I'm a Texan born and bred.

Purkle was a play on the word, "purple" and it was originally a group of people who met over on Neopets, but then they ended up on many different other sites. I wasn't an original purkle, but they are just so friendly, I butted in and they let me stay! ;) Nah, I don't think they'd turn anyone away! Now I'm purkling on other sites too.

*waves back* the names Nuzzles people give me many nicknames so I don't mind if you wanna call me Nuzz or Nuzzy or whatever

Aliena: Haha so i'm not the only Texan. Born and raised here myself.

Oh I see. ^^ I never played Neopets so yeah >.>

Nuzz sounds good to me! And I've not really done Neopets either. I think I might have tried it like 5 or 6 years ago.

And yeah! You're a Texan too! I'm one of those who couldn't fathom living anywhere else. lol

Nope, we don't turn anyone away here.

Oops, Alyce! I'm sorry, I didn't see your post there. I think we were posting at the same time. Nice to have you in here!

Haha yeah I like visiting other places, but iono moving away just feels weird. I remember moving to Arkansas for a while and omg it was terrible. I read you're moving to Austin. Haha that's not too far from me. Most of my friends moved over there for college and are always begging me to go visit them because they don't have a car to drive over here. I always tell them I don't feel like driving 45 minutes over there just to get lost in all the one ways they have xD; and gas is so freaking expensive now.

Oh, no kidding, though it's cheaper here than lots of places. We just hit $2.99, though I can still find it for $2.97.

I'm excited about Austin. That's one place I would never have thought I'd ever end up, but I certainly can't complain!

I can find gas for 2.99 at wal-mart, but the other gas stations are at 3.09 already. I heard it's supposed to drop by 20 cents soon though... hopefully.

Isn't Austin kind of expensive though?

Parts of it are, yes. Luckily, the suburb we'll be moving to is pretty comparable to where I live now. It might be a little more expensive, but not too too much. And my husband'll be getting a pay increase by taking this job, so it should balance it out in the end. Where my best friend lives, too, it's very reasonable. She'll be on the other side of town as me, but still close.

Oh I see. That's awesome ^^ What does your husband do for work?

He was a band director, but is now going to be a school counselor, of all things. Quite a change, but I think it'll be a good one!

Oh wow that's amazing. =o What do you do for work? n.n

I'm a stay-at-home mom right now. I have a little 1 1/2 year old girl. And then I do art commissions here and there on the side, but that's more fun money than anything serious. But by profession, I'm an audiologist/hearing specialist.

What about you? Are you in school or working or what? :)

Good morning everyone!!!!

Well it is probley late afternoon for most of you guys but 6am for me. arhhhhh time to get ready and go to school i have a very busy day teaching today :( i still want today to be a weekend day.

anyway i better go now

Morning purkles!

Just wanted to pop in and say hi. Not too much going on here today. Went and saw Shrek the Third. It was cute but not nearly as good as the first two. Then again that seems to be the way of it these days.
