Good Tuesday Morning, Crew!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
How are you today? I'm glad you're here with me this morning! :bounce: I hope your Monday wasn't TOO bad. Mine was pretty easy going since I didn't have to work! I do today of course. In fact, it was supposed to be another of those 6:00am starts, but our freight company called and he isn't going to be there until later, so I don't have to be there until 9!

So let's get this day started, shall we? And let's make a good one! :bounce:

2. Good morning Clint!

Tuesday morning already. How time flies, eh?

[Clintmax]

4. Morning, Miss Buffy!

:hi::hug:
Yes, time flies by sometimes at warp speed it seems! How are you doing, my dear?

[NMMNG]

6. Cold

I'm in a different house than usual and there's something wrong with the furnace here. x( I can't wait to go home so I can warm up.

How about you? :hug:

[Clintmax]

7. It's actually pretty chilly here also.

39 degrees outside. :scared: I'll be happy when it only goes down to 73 or 74 overnight! Otherwise, I'm doing just fine! Having my first cup o coffee and waking up!

[NMMNG]

9. I didn't realize it got that cold down there

Yuck! x( It's probably about the same here during the night right now. I too will be happy when it's in the 70's at night. Until then I'll just have to deal I guess. :shrug:

[Clintmax]

16. It does during the winter...

but it always gets warmer during the day. Like we're going to have sunny skies and 76 degrees today, and sunny skies and 79 tomorrow! :bounce::woohoo: Up into the 80's the rest of the week! Just at night...it gets chilly out there.

Warm nights aren't far away...just have to wait a little longer.

[NMMNG]

20. Sounds nice

We're expecting nothing above the upper 50's here. Perhaps next week will be better. Spring may have sprung, but we have yet to see evidence of it in the weather. :shrug:

[Clintmax]

24. It shouldn't be too long before you do, though.

I wish it would stay summer all year long.

[MissHoneychurch]

3. I want to be the first one to answer you today

Good morning Clint!!

I am doing great. Chatted with the guy again yesterday evening. He is still interested!!! :bounce:

So it looks good for me on the love side :D

[Clintmax]

5. Morning, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug::bounce:
It's SO good to see you today! :loveya: I'm glad to hear you're having good luck on the love side! :bounce: You certainly deserve it! I was also happy to hear that you received my e-mail back quickly also! You're right...Yahoo.de must work much better with mine! :woohoo:

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Good to see you too Clintmax

I am glad to be back on posting. The meet-up I had to go yesterday was mostly boring. But I got a couple of tips how to do something with the program that I didn't know.

Oh, and the guy from London, he called me also Sunday night. :woohoo: Was the best sign that he still likes me after I was there. Because he also told me that if a guy isn't interested, he isn't calling. And he did call :bounce: (OK, I repeat myself here).

[Clintmax]

11. I am glad, my dear!

And plus, my thought is: Who WOULDN'T still like you after they met you in person??? :hug: Here's hoping he will still continue to call you! And you know...you can call him too sometimes...just to let him know you still like him too! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

17. Oh yes, I will call him also

but it was important that he called first. I let him know last night when we chatted that I like him and that I had a wonderful time with him.

[Clintmax]

21. That's good!

I bet he had a smile on his face when he heard THAT! :bounce: I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself on that trip! I thought about you the whole weekend. :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

23. I know I had a big fat smile on my face when he told me

that he likes me.

That is sweet of you that you thought of me. Seems like the good vibes worked :loveya:

[Clintmax]

25. Yes, it does...

and I'm glad too! How is work today? Not too busy I hope!

[MissHoneychurch]

27. Oh I am busy

but I like it. I try a new modul in the program and it didn't work. So I called the company and they just mailed me an option how to solve the problem. I have to check with the instructions and then I hope it works.

And there is a pile of books waiting to be cataloged.

I would say enough to do.

[Clintmax]

30. Yes...staying busy makes the day go by faster!

That way, you don't get bored at work. That's the worst!

[MissHoneychurch]

35. If I get bored

I come to DU :rofl:

Gosh, I am bad.

You are right, being bored at work is the worst thing that can happen. And you know I like my job.

[Clintmax]

49. That makes it even better!

If you love your job, it makes it easier to get up to go in and spend the day. I can't imagine hating ones job so much that one would DREAD going in every day.

[MissHoneychurch]

65. I know how it feels

in my previous job there was a time when I hated going to work. I hated getting up in the morning. Even though I tried to act normal with the customers some of them told me later that they saw that I wasn't happy. My boss back then was an ass and kinda mobbed me. Not bad but enough for me not to feel good. He was kicked out (long story) and after that I enjoyed working there again.

[Clintmax]

67. Some managers don't realize that...

their attitudes and actions effect how those under them feel. That's why I always go in smiling and in a good mood and telling my people what a good job they are doing.

[MissHoneychurch]

79. He was an ass to all that were under him

he acted like he was the big boss (which he wasn't). Coming in at 8.10am or later in the morning, taking a 2 hour lunch break (I only had 30 min) and then acting up when I showed up at work at 8.05am. And making a deal out of it by showing up ebfore 8am the next days to see if I was there at 8am latest. And that was a private school and during holidays, so no students :eyes:

[Clintmax]

83. Oooo...I hate people like that.

x(:eyes:
I'm glad you don't have to deal with HIM anymore! I only get 30 minutes now, just so you know.

[MissHoneychurch]

86. It was disgusting with him

I was really relieved when he was fired. Even though the way he got fired wasn't of the nice kind.

I have lunch break now of half an hour at least but I can take a longer one. I only have to clear it up with my boss that one of us is here at 1pm when the library opens again. Of course if I take a longer lunch break it goes off my working time and I have to work longer to get my hours. Or just use some of the overtime I saved.

[Clintmax]

91. Losing my working hours is why I like to take only 30 minutes.

I don't lose as much when I do. Enjoy your lunch, Miss Honey! I'm going to be leaving shortly to get ready for work, so I'll see in the morning! :bounce::hug::loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

92. Oh I am back to work

since a while already. It is alreay 2.30pm here now.

You have a great day at work and we talk tomorrow again.

:loveya:

[Clintmax]

102. Thank you, Miss Honey!

I'll try to have a VERY good day! :bounce: And we'll definately see each other in the morning! :loveya:

[AussieDave]

10. Heya Clint - hooray for the late start !!

Does that mean you have to work later, or do you get a pass on that ??

I'm having a late start too - getting my flu shot tomorrow morning (Tuesday night here) so we'll see how that goes......:hug:

[Clintmax]

13. Hail, Aussie!

:hi:
It's good to see you today, mate! Yes, I have to work later. When I have to be in at 6, I get off at 2pm. But I won't get off work now until 5. But, that's OK. Flu shot??? Oh, wait...winter is getting ready to start down there isn't it. Opposite seasons down under!

[AussieDave]

15. That's right - now autumn here (more like an Indian summer)

but the evenings are cooling down, so now's the time the flu shots come out. I hate winter with a passion though - give me summer any day !!!!

[Clintmax]

18. That's what I say too!

I wouldn't mind it being summer all year long! When I lived in Missouri and we had 26 inches of snow with an inch of ice on top of that and daytime highs of 10 or 11 degrees, I hated winter even more. But, none of that here in Florida, thank all the gods! :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

12. Clintmax!

Monday was just fine for me. Beautiful spring weather here in SeattleLand. Rain is coming back, but I totally enjoyed today.

I have a "date" with my daughter this evening, so I'm excited about that! She just got engaged, which is totally cool because her fiance is a great guy. And I get to be Mother of the Bride!

So nice to see you my friend!

[Clintmax]

14. Good Morning, Miss Seattle!

:hi::hug:
It's nice to see you too, my dear! It always is! :bounce::loveya: I'm glad you had such a nice day yesterday and you have a nice evening planned with your daughter! I'm sure it will be wonderful!

[SeattleGirl]

32. Yes, it will!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Clintmax]

52. That's great!

So when is the wedding?

[SeattleGirl]

70. March

:bounce:

[Clintmax]

74. March next year, right?

If it's THIS year...you're going to have to get on the ball to get everything ready! March only has 4 days left! :rofl:

[billyskank]

19. Hi Clint!

:hi:

[Clintmax]

22. Hail, Billy!

:hi::bounce:
Nice to see you again today, my friend! I hope work isn't too stressful for you today. Is your big project still coming along on schedule?

[billyskank]

26. Trying to persuade them to sign it off this week

'cause I won't be here next week (won't be on DU neither, for that matter). :bounce:

[Clintmax]

28. Vacation time, huh?

I've got one coming up too. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet, but I've got one starting April 7! :woohoo: We'll miss you while you're gone, Billy! :loveya:

[billyskank]

41. Yeah

I'm going to be in Germany. Your holiday will overlap mine a little. I'll miss you guys too! :loveya:

[Clintmax]

55. If I decide to go somewhere...

I don't know what I'll do without my Morning Crew. I'd like to go see my parents in Missouri, but it is a nearly 17 hour drive, and I won't have a computer for all that time. x( I don't know what to do. :shrug:

[Wetzelbill]

29. Good morning, Clint

Just up, doing some writing. Figure I'll stay up all night, write a paper for a class and then meet with my professor this afternoon etc.

At least you have a little time before you have to go to work!

So did you get a chance to do a little writing? Here is my latest, barely edited and very rough. Lots of work to do on it before I would ever call it finished though. :)

I am a ninja stealthily weaving
Inside the enemy’s lines

A light-skinned heathen
Invisible to the world

Nobody knows who I am
Unless I tell them

“A Blackfeet Indian,” I say
To bewildered looks

“You look so white” a Mexican
Once told me

The exact opposite of an apple
White on the outside
Red
On the inside

Sometimes I feel like a fraud
A mixed blood crusader

Like a comical anthropologist wearing a backpack
And a “Frybread Power!” t-shirt

Should I grow myself a ponytail?
Tell pissy coyote stories?

Oh, hell, this guy can’t write about Indians
He isn’t even one

Look how white he is! Look! He glows!
So how will I defend my glowing self?

Some white people think I’m an Indian
Others don’t even know it
I’m
Not sure which bothers me more

Some Indian people think I’m white
Others know but don’t care

I wish I could have it stamped on my forehead
At times I wish I could hide it
But, every good Indian has tried quitting before
Sort of like crack and beer

Once being an Indian grips you tightly
The phenomenon can’t be stopped

So I’m an Indian weaving in the white world
Far from my reservation

My stealth consistent for years and years
In both worlds
Nobody
Seems to know who I am

Not even me

[Clintmax]

33. Hail, Bill!

:hi:
Good to see you today, Man! :bounce: I haven't had a chance to write yet, but I do have this story line rolling around my head that I'd like to have on paper. It's just a matter of starting. I wonder if writing an outline first would help me? Usually, I just start writing and let it flow out of me as I go along.

That a very interesting poem! And, one I can identify with!

[Wetzelbill]

72. It depends

I think writing an outline helps if you want to be serious and write something publishable or that you would like to do something with. However, if you just want to write for writing's sake, sit down and let the words flow. Sometimes that works pretty well too. I'd say try letting it flow and then take it from there. If you feel you need to clean it up, write an outline and go back and rewrite it all from that structure.

Lots of people can identify with that concept. Who we are is often invisible. In my case, I am an enrolled Blackfeet Indian from a reservation, except I look white. People usually don't know, although some do, especially when I'm tanned. (ironically, I live in sunny Arizona, but am whiter than ever because it's too hot for me to go and tan outside, haha) But in other cases, people may have something else that makes them different. Would others treat me different if they knew I was Indian? Maybe. Would others treat somebody different if they were told they were gay? Lots of times, yes. How about this one..... what if somebody on DU came out and said they were really a Republican? Would they be treated different if they said they were a Bush voter, even if on some issues they actually agreed with a lot of us? I would say yes, they would. At least by some people. Until then though, they were invisible, for the most part.

I guess I am interested in things like that. How people feel, what they think. Little instances in life that others never take note of. I liken it to Jim Jarmusch, the filmmaker, who once said, and I'm paraphrasing, "Most filmmakers will show a guy walking out of his house, and then cut to him reaching his destination, they don't show what happened in between, well, I'm interested in the in between." That's like me, writers often write about certain events that happen in peoples lives. Something big, like a drug addiction, car wreck, death of someone, a fistfight, a great romance or something along those lines. That's fine, but I'm interested in what's happening when none of those things are happening. I like considering how we feel in our most lonely uneventful moments. That seems to me when we are at our most raw and vulnerable. It fascinates me.

[Clintmax]

80. Hmmm...interesting...

I've started my story a couple of times and I think maybe an outline would help me not go astray with it. I can think a lot faster than I can type, so sometimes I get frustrated when my thoughts are way far ahead of my hands. That's when I stop writing and try to go back to it later. Of course, by then, I've forogtten where I wanted to go with it next. x(

[Wetzelbill]

84. oh definitely

in that case, make the outline. It will help put it all into perspective. I'm like that, in order to create a story I have to have at least some kind of outline. Not necessarily so if I'm writing a poem or something nonfiction, but for creative prose, I need structure. :)

[Clintmax]

85. I think I do too.

I've never written one, so my first time is going to be interesting.

[Wetzelbill]

87. If I'm stumped

I look at the work of a few writers that I like to read, such as Sherman Alexie, Gabriel Garcia Marquez or T.C. Boyle. People who are short story specialists. I check out structure, and emulate how they go about it. Not copy the story or ideas or anything like that. I look at how they begin a story, utilize description, how they end it, the basic structure that maybe they might teach if you took a workshop they were putting on. So once I have an idea about the structure, I'll write an outline that fits my own idea of structure for my particular piece. It's a good tool, both the utilization of the structure of great writer's work and making your own outline. :)

[Clintmax]

98. That's a great idea!

I may have to try that also. I never thought of that! :bounce: Thanks, Man!

[tjwmason]

31. Good afternoon Clint.

:hi:

My mood is good today - but unfortunately one of my managers is in the office today, literally, so not so much opportunity to play on here :(

We've just wasted an hour on a team meeting from which I learnt absolutely nothing. :yawn:

[MissHoneychurch]

36. Hello tj

:hi:

[tjwmason]

45. Good afternoon Miss Honeychurch.

:hi:

Did you have a good time visiting the greatest city on earth?

[MissHoneychurch]

48. OH YES!!!!

I wanted to call you but I didn't had a chance. I was busy with a man :evilgrin:

[Clintmax]

38. Hail, TJ!

:hi::hug:
I'm glad you're in a good mood, and I know exactly what you mean about meaningless meetings. x( I've had them before too and they are not fun. I'm glad you got a moment to say Hello at least! :bounce:

[tjwmason]

51. It wasn't too bad - except that it was a total waste of time....

My main problem is that the manager is actually in my office - one of my usual office-mates gave birth yesterday, thus leaving a spare desk for him to borrow today.

So when I am on here I have to be a tad bit discrete.

[Clintmax]

58. I'm sure you do.

We don't have internet access at my store so I don't have to worry about that...I wish we did though. Is he going to stay at that desk the whole time she's out with her new baby? I hope not!

[tjwmason]

66. Goodness no - he's based at the other end of the country.

He's just down here for today and will go back soon enough - just a bit of a pain whilst he's here though.

That said, the useless temp who is covering her maternity leave may well start to sit at her desk - which means that we can't really say rude things about him all day. :evilfrown:

[Clintmax]

69. Oh, OK...

I'm glad he's going to be gone soon! If the temp is useless, why have them there? Can't someone show the person what and how to do the job?

[riona]

34. FL check-in

Doonesbury is very amusing today.

[Clintmax]

40. Hello, hello, Flblu!

:hi:
I don't get the paper anymore here so I haven't seen Doonesbury or any other cartoon in a while.

[riona]

53. if you have time and the link works

http://www.ucomics.com/doonesbury/

[Clintmax]

59. Thanks for the link, Man!

I'll go check it out in a few minutes! Did you notice your name in the crew listing? :bounce:

[riona]

88. Yes, thanx!

[Clintmax]

95. Good!

Any big plans for the day today? Or just working?

[Clintmax]

63. LOL!

"They have time for sex? No wonder we're bogged down!" :rofl: Good one!

[In_The_Wind]

37. Yay! I love Tuesdays!

Helloooo!

[MissHoneychurch]

42. Good morning Joani

:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

56. Good Morning MissHoneychurch!

[MissHoneychurch]

62. So good to see you

I missed talking with you. Did you get my pm?

[In_The_Wind]

111. I'm so glad you are back from a wonderful weekend!

I was half asleep when I read your PM the first time so I didn't get the full impact until just now on my second time reading it. That is the best PM I've gotten in a long time. :loveya: I didn't mean to fluff it off.
I haven't been here at my computer much for the past few days. Sorry. Please don't be mad.

[MissHoneychurch]

114. I am not mad anymore

I wasn't mad before. Just worried you don't like me anymore :cry:

But everything is good now :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

118. Please call me while I'm away from home.

I'm going to be lonely without my blue and gold baby. Plus you know my laptop is slow and challenging so all my PMs and post will be a little different. :(

[MissHoneychurch]

119. Then I will definitely call you

10 days without you would kill me.

Gonna miss you :pals:

But when you are back I'll be gone for a week. And I won't have a chance to post or call. Would get too expensive to call your cell from my cell while I am in the Czech Republic.

[In_The_Wind]

121. Somehow I missed the part about your trip to the Czech Republic.

I'll be home by April 10th at the latest. When are you leaving?

[MissHoneychurch]

124. I'll be gone

from the 8th till the 17th.

[Clintmax]

43. Morning, Miss Joan!

:hi::hug:
Helloooooo! :bounce: I'm glad you're happy! I am too!

[In_The_Wind]

54. I've got to kiss Frodie goodbye this morning.

x(


That is the only bad thing about traveling this year.

[Clintmax]

61. Yes...

I have a vacation coming up as well...I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. :shrug:

[In_The_Wind]

103. I took her everywhere with me for 5 years. Hotels are strange about pets.

Some places allow pets with restrictions - like the dogs must be under 40 pounds. :shrug:

I would love to take Frodo cross country with me but I don't want to expose her to a potential virus or stress to her health in air conditioned rooms. I don't know how well she would sleep in a campground.
Sometimes it is best to leave parts of our family at home. :(

[Clintmax]

107. I know...

I just wonder how Tony would do on a long trip in the car. He loves to ride...but he gets to where he wants to be in the front seat with me and tries to jump over the seat. I think I would have to cover the back seat with plastic and then a blanket in case of little accidents.

[In_The_Wind]

117. I'll miss you tomorrow morning. I'll be off line for 36 hours. Yikes!

Take Tony with you if you can. It's awesome to share the joy in your heart with a pet. You'll feel a big empty spot if you leave him even though I know it would be in the best conditions.

[billyskank]

44. Joani!

:bounce:

:hi:

:loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

50. billyskank

Sorry I was MIA yesterday afternoon when you were callin' me. :loveya:

[billyskank]

57. That's okay, silly

:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

89. Love me anyway?

:loveya:

[billyskank]

96. Without reservation

:loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

106. Cool Babe

:loveya:

[LaurenG]

39. Good morning Clintmax!

I hope you have a great day today. Mine is going well so far. I love that song too. :bounce: :hug:

[Clintmax]

46. Morning, Miss OhioB!

:hi::hug:
I always love seeing you in the mornings! :bounce::loveya: I'm glad to hear everything is going good so far! Here's hoping it STAYS that way! It IS a good song, isn't it? LOVE IT! :rofl:

[LaurenG]

64. Yes it's a great song

and I'm glad to say I have had and still have friends who will tell me; "I'll be on your side forever more..that's what friends are for..." I wish that for all of us.:loveya: Good vibes for a great day~~~~~~~

[Clintmax]

73. You bet it is!

Good vibes indeed! :bounce::loveya: I wish that for everyone too.

[billyskank]

47. Hey OhioBlues!

:hi:

:loveya:

[LaurenG]

60. GoodMorning Billy!!

I hope your day is going well. I missed your goodnight thread last night and when I found it it wasn't from last night it was from the 23rd. It was an accident, I really thought it was the correct one. :shrug: Sorry I said goodnight 4 days late! I see you'll be out next week. I hope you are going to have a nice time. How will we get on without you though? :cry: :loveya: :hug:

[billyskank]

77. I don't know

how I will get on without you guys either, but some how we will manage. :hug:

[swimboy]

68. Good morning, Clint!

I'm glad you got a reprieve. I would NOT have gotten to see you posting before a 6am workday! In contrast to you, yesterday was the most complicated day that I'll have this week (as far as I can guess :P) so I'm looking forward to being productive but at a sane and reasonable pace. March has been a crazy month!

I have started the process of transforming the coffee beans into liquid form . . .

Great to see you, dude! :hug:

[Clintmax]

71. Hail, Swimboy!

:hi::hug:
It's great to see you too, Man! :bounce: You stay pretty crazy all the time at work don't you? Hopefully, you got your craziest day out of the way early in the week! I've been thinking about getting a new coffee maker. Right now I have a Krups. What do you use?

[swimboy]

76. a lame free Gevalia that has a lot of miles on it!

:rofl: It's time to think about an upgrade, but it's hard to do while it still works, and seems silly to hope that it will break down! We got the most amazing coffee grinder for Christmas, I was scared of it at first but now I regard it with reverence! I'll check on what brand it is (I am not very observant during the time of day when I'm using it. ;) )

[Clintmax]

81. I just buy Folgers Gournet Supreme...

Already ground up for me. I'd LIKE to grind my beans every morning like that...but I don't have a grinder to do it. I'm thinking a Bunn as a replacement. They are the best, in my opinion!

[MissHoneychurch]

75. Good morning swimboy

:hi:

[swimboy]

78. Good morning!

I hope your weekend went well and that your week is off to a good start! :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

82. My weekend was wonderful

but way too short and my week started off good as well. So far I can't complain about work :)

:hi:

[Callalily]

99. Morning MissH

Glad to hear that you had a wonderful weekend. In addition to Clint, I too was thinking about you. Seems things went well.

[MissHoneychurch]

104. Oh yes it went great

thanks for all your good vibes.

I had such a good time. It was sad I only had a day with him. And 1 1/2 nights :evilgrin:

I think we made good use of the time we had together.

[Callalily]

113. Glad to hear

that the two of you had enough in common to keep yourselves busy for the weekend.

Maybe he'll come to visit you next time. You could be his tourist guide.

[MissHoneychurch]

116. Yes, he comes begin of May

we already cleared that up :bounce:

[swimboy]

125. The situation is excellent!

B-) I'm glad you were able to make "good use of your time" :evilgrin:

127. Thanks swimboy

now I only hope it keeps going like it started.

[tjwmason]

112. Good morning swimboy.

:hug: :loveya:

Hope that you do manage to turn productive, it always feels good to get to the end of a productive day.

[swimboy]

126. Hello, Tall Dark and Sultry

Are you keeping your head down today as you should under such proximate supervision? I am sorry about that set-up :( . I'm glad it is temporary.

!:loveya:!

[tjwmason]

128. What do you think?

I'm being more conscientious than usual - but some things keep dragging me back here.

He's off in a meeting somewhere else at the moment.

I was starting to think that you were ignoring me there :cry: - but then you sent me that message :D

:loveya:

[swimboy]

129. swimboy ignore tjwmason?

That's not going to happen. I think you got caught in the leading edge of the swimboy breakfast and travel to work transition vacuum (the s.b.a.t.t.w.t.v.). It is similar to how I have to dry my own tears and factor in your lunch times (which seem to fall at very odd times from the point of view of one not on the Prime Meridian).

:hug:

[tjwmason]

130. Am I allowed a little paranoia?

:shrug:

It was more than you didn't say good morning to me before you vanished - ok I'm just being an attention-whore and deserve a slap....

[swimboy]

131. You deserve more than a slap--

You hid that damned bowl again!

:spank: :spank: :spank:

[tjwmason]

132. Guilty as charged.

Only problem is - I'm enjoying my punishment far too much.

B.T.W. are you going to join our billyskank for moderator campaign - Xema has set up a thread.

Boss has gone :bounce: even better - I'm due to leave any moment now as well :bounce: :bounce:

[Clintmax]

93. Morning, MrsG!

:hi::hug:
It's good to see you before I leave! :bounce: Does Grandma make stuff up for attention like that? I've seen friends with grandmothers like that. :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

122. Hi billy!

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

[Callalily]

94. Good morning Clint!

Bonus that you don't have to go into work so early! Definitely a pleasant surprise. I'm feeling a little lethargic today. Don't know why, got a good nights sleep and all. Oh well . . . I know I'll snap out of it. Maybe I should think about going on a vacation!

[Clintmax]

101. Morning, SimplyF!

:hi::hug:
Yes, I was glad I didn't have to start the Early MOrning Crew at 3am again! :rofl: Have some coffee (if you like it) and hopefully you'll get out of that lethargic feeling really fast! Hey, I have a vacation coming up...but I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. Vacations are awesome to rejuvenate ones self!

[Callalily]

110. 3am - good gawd! (LOL)

You'd have to post from bed!

Yes, actually I have been thinking of vacation destination, but can't seem to come up with something that I'm passionate about right now. That coupled with the fact that I most likely will be traveling solo! I'm sure something will come up when the time is ready.

[GalleryGod]

123. Traveling alone simply stinks.

[newyawker99]

100. Good morning everyone!

:donut:

:hi:

[Clintmax]

105. Good Morning, Miss NewYawker!

:hi::hug:
I hope you have a fantastic day today! No stress, no mess! :rofl::loveya:

[newyawker99]

109. No stress but lotsa mess!

:rofl:


Have a great day! :hi:

[Clintmax]

108. Time to go have breakfast and get ready for work, my crew!

I hope everyone has a great day today and I'll see you back here again in the morning! :bounce: Take care of each other!
:loveya:
