What are your plans for the weekend?

[MissHoneychurch]

me, I am gonna visit my mom over the weekend.

[Clintmax]

1. Work, work, and then some more work.

x( Wish I had the weekend off.

[MissHoneychurch]

2. I will be thinking of you

while eating my mom's delicious dinners :)

and now enjoy your day off today.

[Clintmax]

4. Oh, I will!

Thanks, Miss Honey!

[MissHoneychurch]

6. you will or you are

but then it is only 8am at your place, almost forgot about that. still early.

[Clintmax]

7. I am and will!

Both, my dear! My days always start out good with my friends here on DU!

[MissHoneychurch]

8. it sure does

without DU ... some days would be boring as hell at work :)

[Clintmax]

11. Well, see I work in retail so I don't get to be on DU at work...

I'm constantly moving at warp 7 so I wouldn't have time anyway. That's why I enjoy my time with you on DU so much!

[MissHoneychurch]

12. that sure sounds busy

but that way the day passes faster. It isn't that I don't have things to do, but sometimes I am not really in the mood to work, then DU is there to help me over the time. Or when I am alone at work and no one comes to the library. With DU I don't feel so alone.

[ahem]

3. Icky stuff, I'm afraid.

I'll be checking in to the hospital tonight, so it won't be too much fun. Hopefully they won't keep me long.

Have fun with your mom! I bet she's excited to see her girl. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

5. why do you have to go to the hospital, if I may ask?

and you better be out quick :hug:

my mom hasn't seen me in two weeks, that is quite a short time span. Sometimes it is a bit longer that I don't see her. But after this weekend I will see her again in 3 weeks.

[ahem]

13. It's good that you get to see your mom so much.

I haven't seen my mom in months. I miss her. Enjoy some home-cooked meals while you're there.

As for the hospital, I've been dealing with really bad head pain for a long time now and they need to run some test to make sure that it isn't anything serious. As much as I don't want to go I will feel better to get this taken care of. It's had me worried for a while.

Hopefully it won't keep me away from here too long. I'd miss you all too much. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

18. I hope everything is fine with you

good luck on those tests. I am sending positive vibes your way.

[ahem]

20. Thank you, Sweetie!

I really appreciate it.

[WCGreen]

46. When I was waiting for my diagnose....

It was such a relief to finally figure out what was wrong...

Peace be with you....

[ahem]

60. Thanks so much...

I really do appreciate that. I'm definitely the sort of person who would rather know what's going on, even if it's really bad, than just go on not knowing. I'm much more scared of the unknown than the known.

And peace be with you, too.

[SarahB]

9. School, work, work, work, school!

Class late this afternoon, then work a 12 hour night shift, go home and sleep, get up and work another 12 hour night shift Saturday, ditto Sunday night, and then wake up by 2:30 Monday afternoon, and get ready to go to class again by 4. Then I'm off for a couple of days. :boring:

[MissHoneychurch]

14. sounds like a really busy weekend

school and work. How much longer till you finished your school?

[SarahB]

17. 20 months

Some days I feel like :banghead:, but mostly I try not to think about it.

[MissHoneychurch]

19. what ae you studying?

I can imagine how tough it must be to study and to work. You are tired from working but still have to learn. :hug:

[SarahB]

68. Nursing

[Left_Winger]

10. I am going to try and finish painting my condo.

When I found out how much professional painters charge, I decided to do it myself. I have discovered that painting sheetrock is like painting a sponge; it just sucks up the paint.

Viel Spaß bei deiner Mutter! Fährst Du nach Jena?

[MissHoneychurch]

15. have fun painting

:)

Ich fahre in den Schwarzwald.

[Left_Winger]

26. Der Schwarzwald, wie schön

Ich bin einmal in Freiburg, aber I kann Schwäbisch nicht verstehen.

Viel Spaß!

[MissHoneychurch]

28. Freiburg liegt in Baden

die reden kein Schwäbisch, sondern Badisch. Vorsicht!!!! LOL

[Left_Winger]

32. Ich kann die Deutschen im Südwesten nicht verstehen

und auch die Schweizen. Die Deutsche, dir mir die Sprache gelehrt haben, kamen aus Berlin. Und, später aus Sachen-Anhalt.

So wieviele Fehlern mache ich, wenn ich auf Deutsch schreibe? Ich bin darauf gespannt (oder sollte ich 'neugierig' benützen?).

[MissHoneychurch]

36. du machst ein paar Fehler

aber keine so schlimmen, daß ich es nicht verstehe. Es heißt Schweizer, z.B. und "die mich gelehrt" :)

Als ich von Leipzig an den Bodensee gezogen bin, hatte ich auch erst Probleme. Da ich nun insgesamt fast 10 Jahre dort gelebt habe, geht es etwas besser. Aber wenn sie voll Dialekt sprechen, bin ich auch verloren. Und "Schwiezerdütsch" ist eine eigene Sprache. Mit uns reden sie ja "hochdeutsch" und das verstehe ich ganz gut inzwischen. Ich weiß nicht, ob Dir Emil ein Begriff ist. Emil Steinberger ist ein Schweizer Komiker aus den 80ern, der ganz nette Sachen gemacht hat. Wir hatten eine Schallplatte von ihm zu DDR-Zeiten und dachten immer, er spricht "Schwiezerdütsch". Als wir an den Bodensee gezogen sind, haben wir mitbekommen, daß er hochdeutsch spricht :rofl:

[Left_Winger]

89. Du mußt nie vergessen,

daß ich als Historiker, nicht als Germanist ausgebildet worden. :)

[Robeson]

16. Going to a Democratic Party function on Saturday....

...supposedly, Wes Clark and Howard Dean may be there. Also a lot of congressional people from my state are going to be there. On Sunday, its the NFL.

[MissHoneychurch]

21. Have fun at the party

So Saturday is more or less business and Sunday is chillin. Sounds like a good weekend.

[Robeson]

22. Yep. I'm lookin' forward to it....

....:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

23. No plans other than cleaning house and lawn work.

Oh, I might mix in some laundry, too.

Exciting, no? :D

[MissHoneychurch]

25. Very exciting

but I am not sure, I wanna switch :D

[GOPisEvil]

29. I wouldn't.

I'd rather be doing something fun, but I did that last week. A quiet weekend will be nice.

[MissHoneychurch]

30. Next weekend those tasks are on my schedule

is necessary. During the week after work I am not in the mood to do my household chores.

[GOPisEvil]

31. I'm with you there.

Except for the occasional load of laundry, I don't do much during the week.

[MissHoneychurch]

34. right now my apt looks kinda messy

clothes all around, not vacumed, not mopped, towels and bedclothes waiting to get washed .... good thing I plan to stay home next weekend.

[Pale Blue Dot]

24. Work and pining.

It's my last day at my old store (I've been transfered), so I think my store has something planned for Saturday night. Sunday I'll spend with my son. It should be exciting.

[MissHoneychurch]

27. have fun both days

esp. your time with your son. Do some bonding :)

[In_The_Wind]

33. getting ready to travel ...

returning 3/4 of the things that I ordered for my birthday ... it was fun shopping ...

finding my missing denim jacket ...







oh yes ~ ~ ~


I'm going out TRIKING around!

[MissHoneychurch]

35. shopping is fun

unless you are me and looking for good shoes that don't cost a fortune. I saw a pair I really liked and that fit me - price €120. Money, I don't have at the moment. Darn.

[In_The_Wind]

43. seeing the money returned to my credit card accounts will be good

I am keeping one kick-ass pair of high heel boots and a pair of green suede scrunch boots ...

1/2 of the shipment is back-ordered so the fun isn't over yet!

[ahem]

39. Your trike is fixed?!

Yay! I'm very happy for you :)

[In_The_Wind]

50. My Trike still goes in for repairs on 9/19 but I'm good to go till then...

My mechanic returned from his vacation this week so I rode out for him to take a quick look ... Bob looked at my trike, took the wheel off, adjusted, my right rear spring, put the wheel on, added air to the air shocks, took the wheel back off, readjusted the spring ... and said "it shouldn't be like that" ... duh HELLO *light bulb going off* the trike is OK to ride until I bring it in for repairs on 9/19 ~ but ~ I am going to keep it close to home.

BTW ~ I need a new front tire after my rear end is fixed.


Good morning ~ ahem How is your morning ... thus far?

[ahem]

65. Well, I'm glad you'll get to ride it a little. And hopefully the

repairs will be done before it gets too cold up there.

As for my morning, it's okay. I'm feeling a bit yucky. You can scroll up in this thread and read about my not-so-fun hospital plans for later.

But in better news, I finally reached my 1000th post today! http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=3978565&mesg_id=3978565

Have fun riding and stay safe! :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

69. ahem

I remember back during the winter when you weren't feeling well ... is this part of the same problem?

BTW ... didn't we also talk about your cat ( I haven't done an advanced search) ... but I think that was what we PMed about ~ the cat.

[ahem]

76. Aw, you've got a good memory, Joan!

Yes, this is related to the same problems that I had before. The strange headaches that don't respond to medication. Actually, I stayed off-line for a while after that due to my illness. We sort of lost touch here on the board due to that. I had a really horrible doctor (boy, could I tell you some stories about him!) and now hopefully I'm going to find out what's going on.

We did PM about my cat! Remember I was dreading giving the old man a bath! Ah, memories. You gave me a lot of good advice back then.

:hug:

[bicentennial_baby]

37. Homework!

and maybe a lil pining as well, like Finnfan above...sigh.

[MissHoneychurch]

38. homework

yuck ... I always hated it. How did you first week of school went?

[bicentennial_baby]

41. it was...pretty good but,

i have sooooo much work coming down the pike! my art history class is going to kick my ass! x(

it's ok though, i'm a nerd to the extreme :D

[MissHoneychurch]

45. art history

how exciting.

What else do you take beside French?

[bicentennial_baby]

53. ok, let's see

i've got Queer Lit, Intermediate French, Interpersonal Communication, French Film and Language, and Art History 2. I was going to be taking 6, but I dropped one so I wouldn't go insane :crazy:

[MissHoneychurch]

57. wow

that is quite a list. What is Queer Literature?

[WCGreen]

40. I'm gonna go downtown to see Miss Lucy

over to the Buyou Bougaloo....

Then I'm gonna round up some bags of delicious American crack, you can't go wrong when buyin' American crack....

Then, well I got my eye on a "Honey" baked ham....

with potato salad and corn muffins...

Yummm Yummm....

Then tomorrow, I thought I'd hire me out a boy to cut the grass... But this is the suburbs and none of the boys or girls, for that matter, will stoop to manual labor anymore....

So I guess I'll have to fend off the reverend next door...

He's gettin' mighty PO since my carefully cultivate "weed" garden is evacuatin' to his well manicured suburban lawn....

Other than that, not much....

Hope you have a great Weekend MHC....

[MissHoneychurch]

47. LOL

:rofl:

looks like you had a good sleep :hug:

[WCGreen]

51. Pretty good....

Still, I't nice to wake up to you.....

[MissHoneychurch]

56. aww honey, thank you

that is the nicest compliment ever :loveya:

[deadparrot]

42. Movie, sleep, research...

boring...:)

[MissHoneychurch]

49. nah, not boring

relaxing :)

[hyphenate]

44. I'm going with a friend to the Ren Faire

tomorrow, and we're staying out all night on a girls' night out kinda trip. That way we don't have to race back --it's like a two hour drive for Barb, and about 1 hour, 15 min trip for me. We'll have DVDs to watch, snacks for the motel, games to play (the Scrabble board is great to have!) and learn how to use our new cameras!

We'll also eat a dinner out (though if it's another Friendly's, I think I'll barf!) and just have fun. Hopefully, it will give us a chance to relax and enjoy the world. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

52. gosh, just your telling makes it sound like you gonna have

a lot of fun this weekend. Scrabble is fun, but I only mastered the German so far, even though my English is quite good, for playing Scrabble it isn't good enough. I don't see words in the letters in front of me.

And make a lot of pictures you can show off here :)

[hyphenate]

59. I will do that!

:)

[Brewman_Jax]

48. Go see the live bands

Reggae yesterday, classic rock on Sunday. Practice taichi, run, laundry, go see the cat (and my parents ) I have my Sundays back now that the pro soccer season is over.

[MissHoneychurch]

55. cool

live bands are fun.

You watch or play any other sports beside soccer?

[Brewman_Jax]

61. Yes

I watch American football (college and pro), college basketball, kickboxing. I like playing volleyball and tennis, to name a few. What are your sports?

[MissHoneychurch]

63. uhhhhhh ..... reading?

I like to watch sports like Basketball, swimming, tennis and the Olympics.

Doing sport myself .... :hide: I did go to the gym but dropped that when I found out about my ex (who got me going). I need to go back though. I tell myself "next week you get your ass up and go to the gym" .....

[Brewman_Jax]

66. Get thee to the gym!

Life is usually better after a workout.

[MissHoneychurch]

67. I know it is

I was always powered out but felt really good. Can you come over and kick me in my ass to go?

[Brewman_Jax]

71. Even worse--

I'll be your personal trainer! Give me 3 more repetitions! You can do it!

You'll be ready for your magazine cover photo shoot in no time. And you'll be too tired to eat any junk food.

[MissHoneychurch]

73. you as personal trainer - worse??

NEVAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Brewman_Jax]

80. Oh, yes!

45 mins of my choice of torture, uh, I mean exercise.

Weights (free and machine), aerobic step, floor mat, exercise ball, treadmill, elliptical rider, or outside on the track for windsprints and interval training drills, or distance running. We can do it all!

[MissHoneychurch]

82. you know

I have a very dirty thought right now ..... :evilgrin: ... will be there some "exercise" included AFTER the exercise? :hide:

[Brewman_Jax]

87. You're gonna be too tired

or, we could pass on the gym, but you won't be ready for your photoshoot. :P

[Evergreen Emerald]

54. My last hike of the year

Before the weather turns.

[MissHoneychurch]

58. where are you going to hike?

[Evergreen Emerald]

62. Good morning!

I am going to Wagonwheel Lake in the Olympics (in WA). I hiked it once this summer--and I want to do it one more time. It is extremely challenging as it is UP a long way! But, it is worth it--a jewel of a lake nestled in the wilderness.

[MissHoneychurch]

64. any pictures?

that sounds like a very peaceful place.

[Evergreen Emerald]

90. I will try to figure out how to post pictures...

...so far I have successfully avoided posting them!

[ahem]

70. Ooh, that sounds beautiful.

Being in the south, our best hiking doesn't even start until things start to cool off. I'll be communing with the live oaks in a couple more months :)

[Evergreen Emerald]

91. "communing with the live oaks"

Sounds like poetry in the making! I love going deep in the woods or high in the mountains away from the rat-race. It replenishes me.

[VelmaD]

72. My best friend's daughter turned 16 yesterday...

so we're having her birthday party this weekend. She and I are gonna make her a rainbow colored, gay pride birthday cake. Every year she gets whatever kind of cake she wants and that's what she decided on this year. So we'll bake a cake. Probably go out to dinner. And then likely watch the UT-Ohio State football game since both her parents and I are all alumni.

[MissHoneychurch]

74. what a great wish for a birthday cake

I like that. are you going to watch the game live? Or on TV?

[VelmaD]

81. On tv...

we all live in Austin and the game is in Columbus, Ohio.

But...my best friend has a big screen, high def TV. :woohoo:

[BikeWriter]

75. I plan to get drunk at least once!

[MissHoneychurch]

77. drink one for me

what ae my options?

[BikeWriter]

78. Whisky, whisky and coke, or a beer.

[MissHoneychurch]

79. I go with the Whiskey

is it Scottish or American one?

[BikeWriter]

85. Windsor Canadian

[MissMillie]

83. Laundry tomorrow, NJROTC fund-raiser on Sunday

I'm hoping to get out and sing karaoke either tonight or Saturday night.

[MissHoneychurch]

84. you are brave to sing karaoke

NJROTC?

[MissMillie]

88. Naval Junior ROTC... a high school activity

both of my boys are seniors in high school and bit into the JROTC program.

Check out their webpage.... explains all about their big win at the National Championship Drill Team & Color Guard meet back in February.

http://www.oxps.org/njrotc/index.htm

[Ptah]

86. I'm taking my daughter and her two sisters

to a college football game.

Bear Down, Arizona!





Have a good time with Ma, MissHoneychurch.
