mindyjoy 0 Posted September 13, 2010 Back from vacation; had a lovely time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toulouse 0 Posted September 13, 2010 Aaah Mindy I hope you had a great time!!!I'm up early for a change. They've decided to work again in our street and I woke up actually thinking there was an earthquake going on... It's a lot of fun!! I can tell you that! :-DHave a lot planned again to do this week, had such a busy week last week and I loved it. Had a very lazy weekend though, and I enjoyed that too :-) Gonna head over to campus today to be there as a support for a friend, she has her thesis presentation (or whatever it is called) today and she's very nervous. So going over to distract her a bit and to have fun after her thesis thing :-)Hope all is well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inu-kijo 0 Posted September 13, 2010 wow Mindy! what a short vacation!!! hope that you had a blast. Tanya showed me some of the jewerly she bought from you and it was lovely!!! : DTell ing you guys, I do love that pineapple outfit... tempted to make siggy for anyone who wants it with a colourful pineapple suit.Or anything in general, jsut let me know.Been pretty productive today, so am pleased with myself. : DOff to make some b-fast!!! whooooooot~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mindyjoy 0 Posted September 14, 2010 how do I get the pineapple outfit, or is it old?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toulouse 0 Posted September 14, 2010 Mindy, you have to collect Hideeni's fruit plushies, there are 12 of them and if you get them all, you receive the pineapple outfit as a completion rewardAm up very early, had a great day yesterday, but need to take it slow today, cos I feel I've reached a couple of 'limits' again. The thesis presentation went well, had to wait in the hallway and heard them all laughing, so hopefully that was a good sign. Went to have a drink and food after and went to the fair again - won an orange care bear for brother (I have a blue one, and so does sis, but won those last week).Today I'm heading out with Mom in the AM and with sis in the afternoon.Had a really good vibe yesterday too, I thought of several ideas for thesis subjects, so might hit the attic to look at my old books to find something else - just to keep options open :-)So that's it for now, hope you're all doing okay!

He cant talk or open his eyes but he squeezed my hand real tight last night when I was talking to him. I feel guilty going out to celebrate my birthday with my friends tonight but everyone in my family told me to go, sooo .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TanyaRC 0 Posted September 22, 2010 Hi all !!! Boy have things been busy for us all lately!! between vacations and work ... must admit I like the vacations better .... and all the things that life throws at us, this has been a very quiet room .. OH and I just returned from a trip to Toronto and Buffalo. It was a blast. I loved Toronto. I would love to go back. It is a very pretty city. They have lots of interesting buildings, and most important for OH , it is on the water !! hehe .. Anything on a lake or ocean he is all about!! We did a city tour, and a boat tour of the harbour. It was lots of fun. On the way back to the US, we stopped at Niagara Falls. What a lot of water!!! I have seen it all my life in pictures and on the tv, but they just did not do it justice! It is just amazing. I see things like that and try to imagine how it would be if I was the first person to see it.. (I love historical novels, and often play a game with myself of what if. ) Another thing that I enjoy about touristy places like that is the different cultures that I see there. I know that I heard at least 5 different languages spoken. I am a people watcher. The main point of this trip was the visit to Buffalo. Some friends who live here are originally from there and went back up there to get married. The wedding was beautiful, the bride gorgeous, and the groom handsome. I even managed to get my hubby in a tux to attend. He cleans up pretty good... whew ... I am tired of typing ... Love to you all and have a wonderful week!!!

armellproctor 0 Posted September 23, 2010 i am popping in to say hello, it has been a while and although i have not been here for awhile i do miss you all very much. i miss talking to you all and never seem to be on at the same time as you all. Maybe one day i will come to visit and someone will be here ? i have been down in the dumps for a few months now and am slowly coming back to my old self but i fear it will be awhile yet bare with me as i have gone through this before and i always come out of it lol i will be going to the cabin in the couple of weeks and because i love it there so much i know i will feel better when i come back , nature always brightens me up . the trees will soon be in full color and the frost on the ground make the most beautiful shapes my morning walks are always such a pleasure My hubbie bought me a new camera and i hope to take some wonderful pictures .i know i have been rambling on , but i felt that i just needed to talk , sorry anyways , i hope to catch up to you all soon take care xoxox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inu-kijo 0 Posted September 24, 2010 Hi Armell!!Silly me, I forgot to change the page, been refreshing on the same page fro some time now.Sorry that you are down in the dumps, correct me if I am wrong, but your husband is often gone for stretches at a time, right?Must be tough. I could not imagine.Been having a tight stretch myself..... but that is nothing really new, in all honestly been having a bit of good news. so that is positive.Had a really great Dr.'s visit last Friday..... and he gave me hopes that in a few years I could possibly drop all my medication and go on to be fine without any prescriptions..... that is if I keep improving over the next couple of years, so I am just holding onto that little nugget. I know that I will prolly get the same thing again in the future, but perhaps when I am older, and it makes more sense... would like to have a few normal years in my life somewhere.can feel my body getting stronger and better. : Dand by the end of october I will be moving into my new apartment, pray for me to have 2 baths, but I think I am going to be stuck with a 2 bedroom 1 bath.... blah.If nothing else, please let them let me paint the walls!!!!Hope everyone else is doing ok.

mindyjoy 0 Posted September 25, 2010 Hi everyone,Sad week for our family. Will try to check in later and see if anyone is around.I miss you all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toulouse 0 Posted September 25, 2010 Checking in here as well, really quick. Will make more time to drop by longer, but actually heading to bed.Mindy, I read your news, I am very very sorry for your loss sweetie(((hugs))) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mindyjoy 0 Posted September 27, 2010 Hi all,I posted this in the gift registry but I'm not sure if anyone goes there anymore. Does anyone have an extra buttercup plushie and garden parasol I can trade for? This week ran away from me and I missed the TWS items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toulouse 0 Posted September 27, 2010 Morning,Just dropping by to give you a heads up. But first:@ Mindy: I wish I had spares, I would gift them to you. But I haven't gotten any spares, I am sorry. I do hope someone can help you out!Well, today a new academic school year has started at our uni, but I only have to go in tomorrow from 9 til 10 (hopefully meeting up with a friend afterwards, cos it'd be so dumb to go for only one hour). Will get more information concerning my thesis. Since the one class I failed only starts in February, I will have plenty of time (I hope) to work on this thesis the next couple of months. I have gathered a couple of subject of my own, but they usually give us a list as well, so maybe I can find something between all those subjects. It will also be the first time in years I won't have exams around Christmas and have been playing around a couple of ideas in my head how to spend that time. I am afraid I am going to have a lot of spare time, and I am a bit worried to get bored quick. So I hope I can find enough things to keep me entertained (I know this thesis will take a lot of time if I want to do it correctly and I can already start studying for that one class).Other then that I am doing okay-ish. I have been sick, and I still have an annoying cough that won't seem to go away. I hope I'll be better soon, but I knew this was coming, since I have been feeling bad ever since I came back home and had to study, but I didn't allow it to break through (took special vitamins for it).Time to get going again, have a couple of things I need and want to get done today so I can start fresh tomorrow!

Toulouse 0 Posted October 9, 2010 Aww Boogs, I missed you!I've been going to bed really early these past few weeks actually, so I'm not much online anymore here in the evenings. Mostly there's people around in the mornings (my morning that is), but I'm not so sure about that either.I always drop a note here to keep you guys posted. Have been in the kitchen the entire afternoon (made lemon pound cake and quiche for dinner), was nice. And still a lot of fuss about thesis...

Toulouse 0 Posted October 11, 2010 Mindy, I hope you had a great time!!!I'm off to school to drop off my applications for a thesis subject (yes, I have 2 letters, and even a backup subject, but I'm waiting to get an answer about these two before writing a third letter for that backup subject).After that going to the store with parents, sooo looking forward to coming home and having to carry everything to our house... There's a big hole in front of our drive yard, I hope we manage to get at least out of our house now.And in the afternoon one of my oldest friends is coming over, meaning that we go back years and years (I guess we are to celebrate our 15th year of friendship now).Gotta go now!!
