Good morning Lounge

[MissHoneychurch]

How are you today? How was your weekend?

OMG!!! Thank you so much for all those hearts :wow: Whoever you are!!! I really didn't expect that many :loveya:

So this Saturday I went to an 80s party with my friend. We haven't been there in over a year. And who do we meet there? Our admin manager :o It was kinda strange to see this man there, even though he is only a bit older than us.

This morning I came to work a bit later and first thing I had to deal with - and so far the only thing - was a problem with my co-workers computer. Of course our computer guy is on vacation for the next 3 weeks x( Fortunately I have someone else I can call when there is a problem I can't solve. He says there is a problem with the Active Directory x( Oh joy ....

1. Hey MissH

I've got a bad fever so I'm covered in blankets and hoping for the best:)

I hope all is well:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Good morning enigmatic

Sorry to hear that you are sick :hug: Get well soon.
How have you been?


I am doing fine. :hug:

[enigmatic]

3. pretty good

I'm in the proccess of finishing up the CD I'll be releasing, hopefully by summer. I promise you'll get a copy!

[MissHoneychurch]

5. Nice!!!

I would love to have a copy :bounce: That would be the second CD from a DUer :)

:loveya:

[malta blue]

4. Good morning MissH!!

:hi::loveya::hug:

I am leaving for work early today since my insomnia got me, and little mb is at camp. She was very excited to see a girl who was a cabinmate this past summer and basically dismissed us once we had made her bed :rofl: . Since I don't have a long weekend like some, and she's not here, I am going to just get this day over with. Plus, after work I will go hang out with ex DUer Distressed American. :D

The 80s party sounds fun, and I would be very bummed if any mgmt from my work showed up anywhere I was, I'm just like that :evilgrin:

Have an awesome day :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Good morning malta

Sounds like your little girl will have fun at the camp.

Believe me, we were bummed too. First thing we did after we saw him was getting us a drink :rofl:

I wish you a great day too and have fun this evening :D

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Sky Masterson]

7. Good Morning MissH

That would make an awesome painting.It looks very cozy.
Sorry about the Computer Woes. :hug:
Nice array of hearts you got there missy! :) :hi: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Good morning Sky

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I am shocked!! I tell ya, shocked!!! I didn't expect that many hearts. Guess I do something right here :)

It is very cozy in my condo. Why do you think I love it that much? :D

[Callalily]

9. Good morning MissH!

I simply LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your condo. So cozy. Your sofa kind of looks like mine, with blankets and pillow. ;)

Hope that meeting your admin manager didn't dampen your fun a the 80s party.

:hug: :hi: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

12. Good morning Callalily

Thank you !!! You just HAVE to visit me :D

I have to have blankets and pillows. I love to snuggle underneath and read or watch TV. Also, it keeps me warm as I save money and don't overheat the condo.

Not at all did that dampen our fun. We found it hilarious. Made a good story at work today :rofl:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Callalily]

15. Glad to hear that you and

your cohorts had fun even with the work police at the club. ;)

Yes, I too snuggle on the sofa watching TV, and I too am very conscience about heat. My condo has separate heating controls in the main living area, the two bedrooms and my bathroom. I don't heat the two bedrooms or the bathroom at all. The bathroom stays comfortable because it's surrounded by inner walls. Typically I turn the heat on in my bedroom about 20 minutes before heading for bed to get the chill out. That coupled with an electric blanket keeps me nice and cozy.

Guess we all have to do our part to conserve energy.

I'd LOVE to see your place in person.

[MissHoneychurch]

18. I think

he was more embarrassed than we were :rofl:

I only heat my living room and bathroom. I hate to come in a cold bathroom in the mornings. I have a timer on both heaters, so they only heat when I told them to heat. Helps a lot. My bedroom I never heat. I sleep with the window open, even in the winter so that would be a waste of money. Of course I heat my small room every now and then when I know I will sit on my computer a bit longer.

:loveya:

[Callalily]

39. No open windows here

in the middle of winter. We're taking below zero temps! My friends would find me frozen in my bed. :rofl:

Gotta head out for work now. Wising you a grand day.

[MissHoneychurch]

40. Have a great day too

:hi: :loveya:

And believe me, with such temps I wouldn't open my window either :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

23. Good morning, Miss Lily!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Callalily]

38. Good morning AirmensMom!

Nice to see you!

How was your weekend. Mine went far too fast. Did a little cooking and a lot of relaxing.

I'm thinking this week should be a lot better than last week. Thank gawd!

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

10. Good Morning MissHoneychurch :)

I hope your co-worker's computer woes are over soon.

I too, am way too fortunate. The hearts have warmed mine. :)

Thank you as always for the picture of the day.

:hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Good morning SCE

At the moment the problem is solved, but I have to keep an eye on it.

You totally deserve your hearts. You warm hearts with your Sunday LOL cats. :loveya:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Droopy]

11. Good Morning Miss H

It looks like you have a beautiful condo with those wooden floors and the way the light plays there in the evening. I really like that old piece of furniture on the right side of the photo. Is that an antique?

My weekend was uneventful, which is the way I like them. I did laundry, visited with relatives, and goofed off on DU a lot. :) A real, professional writer here at DU commented on one of my stories and said it was good. That was pretty cool.

[MissHoneychurch]

14. Good morning droopy

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Your stories ARE good. You write very lively and bring the people in your stories alive for us. I know they are real people but we don't know them. And with your stories you make them part of our lives.
If you ever make a book out of your stories I want a copy.

Yes, it is antique. It is Art Nouveau. The table and the small piece of furniture next to the table (in the shadow) are antiques too. The small cabinet I got from my great grandmother.

[Droopy]

17. Thank you

It makes me happy that people here like my stories. I asked the admin here about copyright law and DU. I was thinking that maybe I had screwed up by posting my stories on DU. They said that was not the case and that my stories are 100% mine. I was very relieved to learn that.

I have 32 stories together now and about 25,000 words. They say that you should shoot for about 100,000 words for a book here in the states. That's about average in length. Once I get there I will try shopping the book around to see if I can attract an agent and then a publisher for it. If that doesn't work out I will probably self-publish the book.

[MissHoneychurch]

20. I'm just telling the truth

It is always fascinating to read your stories. Keep them coming :D

:hug:

[Wapsie B]

16. Good morning.

I love your living room. Even without wall hangings it has a very warm and comfortable look to it.

[MissHoneychurch]

19. Good morning Wapsie B

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Thank you. I am missing my wall hangings. Next month I will put them up, once I have my new couch and then I can decide where to put which picture.

[Wapsie B]

21. I can't wait to see a picture of that.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[AirmensMom]

22. Good morning, MissHC!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

What a fun party! :bounce: I'm glad you had a good weekend. :hug:

Your living room looks FABULOUS! :fistbump: And look at how big it is. Oh, and I love the cabinet ... have I said that before? :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

24. Good morning AirmensMom

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I had a very nice weekend :D

Thank you!!! I think you mentioned it once or twice :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

25. I did?

:blush:



:rofl:


Next weekend will be nice for you, too! :bounce: And what do you plan on doing for your birthday tomorrow, besides cooking up a party at work? :party:

[MissHoneychurch]

26. No problem

:hug:

Haven't planned anything for tomorrow really. I still have to do some stuff at home. I will do that since I get off early tomorrow.

[AirmensMom]

27. Oh, good!

Because I'm likely to tell you again every time I see it! :rofl:


You get to party AND get off work early tomorrow? What a treat! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

28. It really is a treat

esp. the getting off early. We do our parties during our lunch break ... sometimes they just tend to be a tiny bit longer :rofl:

[blueknight]

30. good morning ms h!

nice weekend here! ate too much though!:puke: hope you have a wonderful week!

[MissHoneychurch]

34. Good morning blueknight

what did you eat???? If that doesn't make you feel sick again :D

I wish you a wonderful week too!!!

[AirmensMom]

31. So, if the party lasts

until it's time to go home, no harm done! :bounce:


:rofl:

I'm so happy that you have a fun place to work. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

37. Well

I am allowed to go home at 1pm ... and we start the party at noon ...... :hide:

I love my job too. I am very happy that I got this position.

[blueraven95]

33. Good Morning, AirmensMom!

How are you?

[blueraven95]

29. Good Morning!

3 week vacation :wow: I wish I could do that.

[MissHoneychurch]

35. Good morning blueraven

I have 29 days vacation each year (without weekends) :D

How was your weekend?

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[blueraven95]

41. I'm jealous.

:rofl:



It was a good weekend, except for extremely noisy neighbors above me. They kept me awake for the past two nights.


It sounds like your party was good.

[MissHoneychurch]

42. It has its pluses to live in Germany

:rofl:

The 80s party was fun. Good music (mostly) and we danced to some songs. Had a glass of wine or two (my friend beer) and then commenting on the other people .... it was fun :D

[blueraven95]

43. sounds like fun to me

I watched an Indian movie called "Devdas" which was long and sad, but good. I was going to skip it, but I promised my student worker that I would watch it, so I did. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

45. You are good

:)

So you will talk with her about it today?

[blueraven95]

54. if not today, then tomorrow

I can't remember if she is in today.

It was interesting. Sort of like Romeo and Juliet, but sadder, with fewer deaths.

[MissHoneychurch]

57. I never watched

the Romeo and Julia version with Leonardo di Caprio. For some reason I don't like him too much.

[blueraven95]

59. don't feel bad

you didn't miss anything at all. And I really like that director.


I like diCaprio more now than I did when he was younger. I think he's become a better actor.

[MissHoneychurch]

60. Maybe I need to watch a movie with him again

but most movies he makes aren't that interesting to me.

[blueraven95]

61. Try "Catch Me If You Can"

I think that's his best, personally.



Okay, quick German question: I was watching the film "Metropolis" and in one section there is a sign (it looks sort of like a hotel sign, but I'm not sure that is what it is) and it had the word "utmoh" (at least I think that's what it is), but the internet translators can't translate it for me. Is it a real word?

[MissHoneychurch]

62. I watched that movie

I wasn't too impressed.

"Utmoh" is not a real word. ANd I can't think of a similar word that is ment instead.

[blueraven95]

64. That's weird

I can't figure out why the filmmakers would use a word that doesn't exist. :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

65. You sure it was that word? n/t

[blueraven95]

67. okay, I'm looking at a still from the movie now

it looks like there is an a in there that I forgot about :blush:

so "utamoh" or maybe "utahoh" - it's hard to tell. Anything?

[MissHoneychurch]

70. Still nothing

sorry.

[blueraven95]

74. weird.

thanks.

Now I have to figure out why in the world they used a word that doesn't exist. :rofl:


BTW, did I tell you that your living room looks fantastic? So pretty!

[MissHoneychurch]

76. Isn't that why you study ?

Maybe they though the Americans never will know anyway and didn't expect still frames of the movie to be searched :rofl:

:shrug:

Thank you. The parquet makes it look so pretty. :D

[blueraven95]

79. maybe.

but that would be silly :rofl: I'm going to have to do some research.



It looks like a really big room. Is it big or is it an optical illusion?

[MissHoneychurch]

80. It is a big room

one of the reasons I fell in love with the condo. Beside the view :)

[blueraven95]

81. It looks lovely

:D


You've done a really nice job arranging it.

[MissHoneychurch]

83. Thank you

now all is missing are my pictures on the wall and the new couch. Begin of March .... :bounce: then I really moved in.

[blueraven95]

hey, that's really soon!

:D



So are you doing anything fun for your birthday tomorrow?

[old mark]

32. I must be late - nearly 8 AM!

Good morning anyway.
I have been up a while, just not here. (My excuse.)
Have a great day!


mark

[MissHoneychurch]

36. Good morning mark

:hi:

8am isn't late. You are always welcome in my thread ... no matter what time it is :hug:

[Inchworm]

44. Good morning Miss HC

The place is looking good! When you get the move fully completed you are not going to have anything to do except bask in the glory :)

The weekend was long. I guess the biggest thing that happened was my attempt at making cinnamon rolls. I ended up making some really sweet hockey pucks :P

Good to see ya.

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

46. Good morning Inchworm

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Does it sound cocky when I say I am really proud of my place?

Ohhh ... cinnamon rolls!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE cinnamon :9

Good to see ya too :hi:

[Inchworm]

48. Not cocky at all

It's beautiful!

:yourock:

[MissHoneychurch]

51. Thank you

I will see how long I can keep it that clean :rofl:

[Brewman_Jax]

47. G'day, MissH

:hi: :hug:

Looks like a pleasant day there. I spent the weekend training for football, and making more beer. :beer: I think I'll make more soda later today. Maybe a nice birch beer soda. :9

[MissHoneychurch]

49. Good morning Brewman_Jax

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

It was a nice day. Today it is snowing like crazy. OK, I did snow like crazy all morning. Now it stopped. I prefer snow over rain any day though. I don't have to drive in that white stuff after all :D

Maybe you could try to sell your soda and beer :D

How is your mom doing?

[Brewman_Jax]

55. Went to the MD appointment

and the x-rays showed that the cartilage in both knees is gone. Surgery is the next option. The question is what technique to use and when to schedule. :(

Selling the soda and beer? Soda--not likely, but the beer...if the recipe works, that may be worth the research. :think:

[MissHoneychurch]

58. Sorry to hear

:hug:

There you go .... start a brewery and sell good beer :D

[Eurobabe]

50. guess which one I sent?

:loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

52. Luv ya?

:loveya:

:wow: look at all your hearts .... you are very loved here :D

[Eurobabe]

53. yep

:loveya: I am overwhelmed, i wish there was a way you could find out who gave them to you. Would be fun to find out. :evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

56. ...

:D :hug: :loveya:

I have to admit I didn't send out any hearts this time. It would be wonderful to know.

[elleng]

63. Lovely picture.

Keeping it with me.

[MissHoneychurch]

66. Thank you

:hug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

68. Thanks for the picture. Your place is starting to take shape and

look like a home. I did not do much this weekend. I was so tried from work that I slept about all day Saturday. I did get some laundry and shopping done. That is a bout it.

:loveya: :hug: :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

69. Good morning Tuesday

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Thank you. I admit, I like to boast about my place. I just like it so much there.

I still do have to do my laundry. I wanted to do it this weekend but didn't. Oh well ... I still have enough clothes to wear :rofl:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

71. I have to do a one load of scrubs every week. Ugh.

Wonder who gave you all the kisses and hugs :D :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

72. Kitty hair?

I wonder about that too. I know one is from eurobabe. :D

You did get some as well .... isn't that sweet?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

73. Kitty Hair?

you mean on the scrubs? :D :shrug:

Yes, it is very nice to know that there are people here who care enough about us to let us know and it is going for a good cause, too ;)

[MissHoneychurch]

75. OK, now I am confused

after looking up what scrubs mean. What do have scrubs to do with laundry???? :crazy:

That is true. I just never expect that many.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

77. uh-oh

Scrubs = slang for uniforms. I only have enough to wear every week because this place requires us to wear only certain colors. I have them in lots of colors but, only enough in this color for a week.

[MissHoneychurch]

78. Ok, that makes sense then

and you are right, kitty hair on those isn't very likely. Unless they sleep on the freshly washed :)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

82. and the fabric they are made

NOTHING sticks to it. The kitties never really see me in them anyway. I only put them on before I go out the door and I take them off immediately when I get home. They are either on a hanger or in the laundry basket.

Getting where I hate the sight of them. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

84. The sight of the kitties???

:hide:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

85. Poor Kitties

:rofl:

I am the only Human they will hang with. Anyone else comes for a visit and out the door they go. Never to be seen again until all my company is gone...for a looong time. They are so silly. :loveya:

[Blue_Tires]

86. i like it

clean, uncluttered and sort of minimalist...you do NOT want to see what my living space looks like!

[MissHoneychurch]

87. Thank you

:)

You do NOT want to see my "office". It is cluttered and messy ... LOL

The living room will look fuller once the bigger couch is here. That blue loveseat is getting lost in the big living room
