Welcome to the Saturday Morning Chat Group!



Good Morning Everyone and welcome to the Saturday Morning Chat Group! Verna made a fantastic sidebar graphic for us that will automatically link you to the chat group. It is in html, so if you would like a copy, let me know your e-mail address and I'll send it to you.
Today I am going to focus on housekeeping issues and then we'll be at Zach's hockey game tonight. What are your plans?

Also don't forget to sign up today for Dannye's Year of the Rat Giveaway. You need to go to her blog 'LayDFrog' to enter. There is a post if you scroll down. The drawing is tonight.

The chat room is closed for today, thanks for a great morning!

Absolutely you should go. Although GWCA puts it on, it's not agency specific.

My hubs went with me and we split up so we could get to more of the talks. Plus, as I said, there were keynote speakers (Cindy Champnella at breakfast, Adam Pertman at lunch and one of the Directors of the CCAA for dinner -- that guy was INTENSE!). The CCAA man also brought embroidered handkerchiefs for everyone there, an stamped them with his red chop.

It's a great weekend away -- I'd encourage everyone to go! here's a link: http://www.emwconference.org/welcome

Now I want to go again!

Kim N Jeff said...

Hi K1!

Truly Blessed said...

Hey K1 -- you're up EARLY!!!

redmaryjanes said...

I have been e-mailing back and forth with Amanda. She is really happy that we are willing to do this for the children.
Verna has made some fantastic graphics, so I'll be showing those next week and getting things underway.
What we're doing is asking everyone to purchase some of the things off of the list supplied by Amanda for the children in her foster home in China. I'll have you send them to me and I'll box them all up together and ship them to her in China.
I thought it would be neat if the each of the families sent a little note to go along with their donation (if they want to).

redmaryjanes said...

Hi there K1
How are you? Are you staying home today?

Truly Blessed said...

Kim (of Kim & Jeff)

Your little doggies are so cute!

Kim N Jeff said...

That might be a fun informative day... Is anyone thinking about going?

Truly Blessed said...

K1, what are your big plans for Saturday? Now that you're not working at the store, are you just going to laze around all day, or what?

Truly Blessed said...

Oh Kim (again of Kim & Jeff), i thought of you during that game last week. so sorry it ended the way it did. There was much sorrow in our family as well.

Kim N Jeff said...

There are just way too many Kim's I think we need to think of some good nicknames for all of us...

Should see the dogs right now.. :)
Oreo is laying on the desk by the window and Shadow is sitting there looking outside...

k1 said...

You guys must really be a special group! It is only 7:15AM here, on a Saturday, when I don't have to work anymore (yea!!) and I woke up and got out of bed just to visit.

I sure am glad there isn't a webcam!!! I literaly rolled out of bed and came into the computer room.

How's everyone? I'm trying to catch up on the comments between comments.

k1 said...

I have several months worth of Saturday housework to catch up on!

Other than that, no plans, other than chatting with you all.

redmaryjanes said...

My husband has suggested that we all webcam, but let me tell you. I'm in a hot pink fluffy robe and my pajamas. Wild hair, no make-up. Not a lovely photo. The girl on the post is ahead of me because she's at least brushing her teeth!

Kim N Jeff said...

The game was cold wish there had been a better ending :)

Kelley said...

Yeah, NO webcam please. I'm actually dressed, but I have wild hair (just washed, didn't dry it, and LOTS of static now that it's half-way dry), and no makeup. Definitely not webcam ready, ha, ha!

Truly Blessed said...

If you ever require webcams for the Saturday morning chats, I won't participate.

Only Katie is dressed and ready for the day in our household!

k1 said...

I haven't brushed yet, either. Did have to go make a pit stop though.

So, is it getting any warmer in MI? We've had extremely cold temps here (in the 20's, which is REALLY cold for here) but i't been dry. Good thing since I still have a hole in the top of my car.

Ugh.

Kim N Jeff said...

webcaming... hummm interesting thought but then I would need to get up take a shower and look presentable :) No just rolling out of bed to say hi!

Truly Blessed said...

No, it's no warmer in Michigan. It is pretty though.

I'm wondering where all of the Global Warming people are -- they're not in Michigan, that's for sure!

Truly Blessed said...

Hey Kelley & Kim,

You might not know this, but K1 is my older sister. She travelled with us to China in November 06 to bring home our daughter/her niece, Katie.

The big question is: is she going to travel to Jiangxi with us this summer to bring home her 2nd niece?

Any thoughts?

Kim N Jeff said...

They weren't in Green Bay last weekend either... :)

Truly Blessed said...

Speaking of nicknames, do you guys visit CougChick's blog (used to be "hearts east", now it's "going with the flow") -- K1 I know you do -- anyway, she has nicknames for all of her blogging buddies in her bloglines bar. It's a hoot to try to figure out who she's talking about.

k1 said...

One thing I neede to look into this weekend is learning everything I can abot investigating on-line fraud. (Our office doesn't do that... the FBI and Secret Service do). But I have an inside line on a corporate position that might be opening where those skills, in addition to the ones I already have, are needed.

Any prayers, please pray. I really do want a different job! I can't post about it on my blog because my boss reads it all the time!

Hey Sis, I see from the comments that you got your dossier sent to Chicago. Any projections on the rest of the timeline?

Kim N Jeff said...

I have vistited her blog but never really looked at the sidebar... I'll have to go check it out :)

redmaryjanes said...

It's totally freezing here.
I DEFINITELY think that K1 should go along.

Kelley said...

Kelly, I figured out yours and K1's relationship this week when I saw the blog posts...but I didn't think of it again until you just reminded me. :)

And if we had nicknames on top of the blogger ids and real names, I think I'd go nuts!

Kelley said...

Oh, yeah, I definitely think that auntie K1 should go. How many chances in a lifetime are there for something like that?

redmaryjanes said...

I visit her blog, but I'm not on her sidebar. Her descriptions are great fun though. I really like her, she's a great lady. I remember when she first was putting her blog together. I really wish she could adopt with us.

k1 said...

That's why I just asked about the timeline!

Plus, I need to know if DH is up on me going. In his email, it looks like he still wants his sis to go this time. (Which I understand, because I DID get to go already.) But, if she can't or doesn't want to, I'd love to.

Anybody else that wants a tag-along, let me know. I'd go with you too!

I'm glad to hear you think it's not until summer. Lisa and I just booked a Carribean cruise the last week of April.

redmaryjanes said...

Kelley,
How's little Chloe this morning? She's so cute. She has so much hair, I hope my little girl has a lot of hair.

Kim N Jeff said...

I also think K1 auntie should go :)

Kelley said...

Kimberley, thank you for asking. Chloe is her usual adorable self today. As for her hair, that's the first thing that our social worker told me about when she called with the referral news. She said, "she has a gorgeous head of hair!" I'm in the process of posting some new pictures on the blog...

Truly Blessed said...

K1 and I had the honor of meeting CougChick last October. She's a hoot. What a great family.

I'm not in her "wacky name" sidebar either...that's what happens when you have an invite only blog, I suppose.

A carribbean cruise in April, you say? I'm jealous. That sounds wonderful. We're doing the Disney cruise next month, but I'd do another one in April, too (hint!).

As for the rest of the timeline, I'm hoping we'll be LID by the first week of Feb. Add 3-5 months for the CCAA to do what it needs, I'm thinking travel in late June/July.

Verna said...

Good morning everyone. Just getting going here.

k1 said...

Kimberley (RMJ) Just flew over to CC's blog. I KNEW I had seen you on her sidebar. You are "My Shoes Are Too Tight" on her sidebar. Red Mary Janes = Shoes.

Truly Blessed said...

Oh yeah, DH did ask C to go (BTW, J invited herself!) but we haven't heard back about her going (J is a DEFINITE NO!). There is no reason you couldn't come along as well as C.

Kelley said...

I am going to look more carefully at cougchick's blog now. This is interesting...

Truly Blessed said...

Good morning Verna (or are you the Blog Fairy this morning?). Tell me again when you get to go and bring Noah home?

Verna said...

RMJ, did you set the comments to show in pop up window? And it didn't work? Weird.

It will take me a bit to catch up

redmaryjanes said...

Verna! I'm so happy to see you this morning. Are you getting excited? Noah is coming home soon!

k1 said...

Sis (too many Kims AND Kell(e)ys here). You aren't in CC's wacky names sidbar, but you are listed in her "Bloggers I've Met" sidebar.

I wish you didn't have to be private, but I understand why.

BTW, there has been no further contact since last week.

redmaryjanes said...

Verna,
I did set it up with the pop up window, but it was hard for some of the people. But if you notice, I did put a little message under the leave your comment, and I thought that was really cool.

Truly Blessed said...

Verna,

Whatever RMJ did this morning didn't work. Now that she's changed it, it's MUCH better.

Now, if only she could make the most recent comments at the top, it would be perfect!

Truly Blessed said...

Speaking of blogs (weren't we?) I've nearly filled up my allowed photo storage space at Blogger. I wonder what happens when I hit 100% -- will it start deleting things?

I'm thinking of starting a new blog at a new blog place (like WordPress or TypePad) and maybe I won't be private there...

k1 said...

I think RMJ should change the name of her blog to "The Chameleon" since it changes so often.

Or maybe, there should just be a "Blog Chameleon" Award. If so, then I nominate RMJ!

Kim N Jeff said...

I'm over at Cougchick's she is just way too funny!

Need to get her to join out chats :)

redmaryjanes said...

Yes, does anyone know the answer to that? What happens when you max out your blog limit? Do you have to start a whole new blog?

Also VERNA, are you retiring? You are my girl you know. What will I do without you?

Truly Blessed said...

Please don't create ANOTHER blog award that I will never win.

Truly Blessed said...

Oh, I know, I could win the "Blog Sloth" award!

k1 said...

And the "Avatar Chameleon" Award would go to Truly Blessed. How many is this now, seven? eight? ten?

Kelley said...

Kelly, that would be a good way to set up the comments! I decided that I'm going to go private on my blog too, on Chloe's second birthday...it would be different if my blog wasn't composed of almost 100% Chloe information and pictures. But that's what I mostly want to blog about, so there you have it. I think I need to be a little bit safer. And speaking of Chloe pictures, there are some new Chloe pictures up now if anyone is interested. (Am I being an obnoxious Mama, shoving pictures at you all! "Look at my baby! Look at my baby!")

k1 said...

CC is on the same time zone I am. It isn't even 8AM here yet!

Truly Blessed said...

I'd be honored to accept the Avatar Chameleon Award. Confuse you, do I?

redmaryjanes said...

I get restless with the blog and have to change it around.

Kelley said...

Kimberley, don't you dare change your blog name. I love it! I also love the way you change all of the headers and everything...I don't do that because I have no clue how it all works.

Verna, your work is terrific!

I've seen lots of people post to their blog forever. How do you know if you're reaching your limit?

redmaryjanes said...

The only award I have done was the Halloween Blog Award.

Truly Blessed said...

FWIW, I think I'm going to keep my dancing girls avatar for a while. I liked the Chinese symbol for Love, but too many people started using symbols. I haven't seen another similar to mine, so this one will stay.

Verna said...

Hi all, I am getting excited. We leave on Feb 14 and get Noah on Feb 17.

Almost can't believe it

Verna said...

Oh, I am myself today. Blog Fairy is passing the torch to Becky but will probably be back at templates in 6 mo to a yr depending on life.

Kelley said...

Verna, that is so exciting! It's just right around the corner!!!

redmaryjanes said...

I love the dancing girls, they are darling and very distinctive.

Kelley said...

Oh! I wanted to add that I love the name Noah!

k1 said...

Hmmmm, maybe I should sign up for this "Year of the Rat' thing. since I was born in the rat year a long time ago.

Truly Blessed said...

Kelley,

When you go to post a picture on your blog (before you input the picture) look at the bottom of the pop up screen. It will tell you how much of your "allowed storage space" you've used.

Now, I just need to know what happens when I reach 100% (cause I'm VERY close -- maybe 4-6% away from that).

Kim N Jeff said...

Kelley she is adorable!

Truly Blessed said...

Kelley,

Chloe is gorgeous. I just popped over and snuck a peek. Love the 1st valentines picture. What a beauty!

redmaryjanes said...

Verna,
I think that it is very fitting that you leave on Valentine's Day to bring home Noah. I am so excited for you! He is such a cutie.
Becky's site is just beautiful, I love that photo of her Chloe.

Kim N Jeff said...

I didn't know that they had limits on size... Wonder if there is some way to archive the pictures in a file...

Truly Blessed said...

Verna,

I'm so excited for you to get Noah. What a sweetheart he is.

You'll be blogging from China, right?

redmaryjanes said...

Kelley,
I went over and looked at little Chloe too. I love the photo of her looking out the window. She is so cute, I love her cheeks!

k1 said...

Sis, maybe if you go in and reduce the size of some of the huge photos you have and resave them, it will free up some space.

redmaryjanes said...

K1, go and sign up. Dannye will be thrilled to see a lot of people sign up. I wish I knew what the prize was.

Kelley said...

Kelly,
Thanks for the tip! I don't think there should be space limits on a blog...but all the more reason to make a book about it, I say! LOL!

Beckyb said...

Just wanted to say Hi All!!

Kelley said...

Aw, gee! Thanks for all of the nice Chloe compliments!

Kim N Jeff said...

Verna - So happy for you!!!! Hope you will be posting updates while you are there.

k1 said...

I think we all need to pelt Mr. Brian's blog with some tomatos this morning. He stopped by my blog and left a message, but he hasn't dared venture in here.... or at least he hasn't made his presence known.

Truly Blessed said...

Well, aren't I the little sleuth?

I just popped over to Blogger to check out the storage thing. BTW I'm at 91% of my allowable 1024 MB.

It looks like Blogger just won't let you load any more images UNLESS you purchase more storage.

Maybe I'll move over to WordPress or TypePad. I know nothing about either, and I'm seriously computer challenged, but I guess I'll learn...

redmaryjanes said...

Mr. Brian usually leaves one hello comment and then steps out. He never stays to chat.

Kim N Jeff said...

Think it would be good therapy for him to join out chats :)

Beckyb said...

Kelley - just went to check out your Chloe - she is a doll!!! We have a Chloe too so had to peek in on yours!!

Kelley said...

Kelly, I just checked out your tip on how to find out about storage space. Apparently everyone gets 1GB for free, and then you can pay $20/year to get 10GB. That's what I found out just from clicking on the question mark that I saw...so that's how they're making their money, I think, and that explains the blogs that I've seen that have lots more photos and blog entries than yours. So, it would seem you'll either need to pay or start a new blog. Or shrink your photos like your sis suggests...

Truly Blessed said...

The only problem with using smaller jpg images is that they do not transfer well to a Blurb book (which is what I'm struggling with in creating a book of my original blog "waiting for our little girl".

redmaryjanes said...

Good Morning Becky!
How are you? Great to see you!

k1 said...

Hi, BeckyB, Lady in Waiting I think it is, right?

RMJ, I don't meet the criteria to enter. (Not adopting)

Verna, have a wonderful, memorable time!

Kelley, just stopped by your blog. Cute! Mind if I keep visiting?

Amy, stopped by yours, and your hubby's last week. Like his 80's music blog. Didn't know most of the songs/artists, but was impressed with HIS knowledge. Did he make it to Z yet?

Kelley said...

Thanks, beckyb! I haven't seen your blog, so I'll have to check it out!

Kim N Jeff said...

What is wordpress or typepad??? I'm just getting into blogger and starting to understand it :)

btw it is snowing here in Milwaukee now...

Kelley said...

Kelly, Definitely keep your pictures big for your Blurb book. If it were me, I'd pay the $20--that's not too much. But it's your blog... :)

Verna said...

Good Morning Becky!

I will not be retiring RMJ. I have a totally different program than Becky.

I have to admit that I put Becky's header together. So, it isn't the scrapbook style that she is doing but that picture of Chloe is just darling and she IS waiting for her sister(brother?) ;)

Beckyb said...

K1 - yes - you are right -that is what Verna dubbed me - Stef is still wondering what that means!!!!

Kelley said...

Of course you can keep visiting, K1! I love visitors (and comments). But I'm not getting into a "boo hoo I hardly get comments" pity party today. Hee, hee, hee--that was last Saturday!

Truly Blessed said...

WordPress and TypePad are just other blogging sites. Most of us use Blogger, as it's free, but I think WordPress is as well. TypePad, I believe has a low fee but can be password protected -- either the entire thing or specific entries.

Kelley said...

Becky, what a gorgeous family you have! Your Chloe is just beautiful! And such handsome sons! Your post about your grandfather was beautiful...you have my condolences.

Kim N Jeff said...

K1 just went over to your site... isn't it great being an auntie! :)

Beckyb said...

Thank you, Kelley - we are all so blessed, aren't we!?!?

k1 said...

Yes, it is great being an Auntie. Sometimes wish I were closer though.

RMJ, you are on track to surpass 300 comments again.

redmaryjanes said...

Yes we are. Life is good. I read your blog last night Becky and I too am sorry for your loss.

Verna said...

RMJ, have you heard from Amanda?

Truly Blessed said...

Hi Becky!

So sorry to hear about your Grandpa. I loved the picture you posted of him with your son.

k1 said...

#300

Truly Blessed said...

#300 AGAIN!!!

Woo hoo for ME!

Truly Blessed said...

Doggone it, K1 -- you beat me to it.

redmaryjanes said...

Verna,
No, just the one e-mail where she said how happy she was that we were going to do this and said she would get me an updated list of needs as soon as she was able.
I sent her your graphics too but haven't heard anything.
I know that there was a baby who had to have emergency surgery, so I wonder if she is tending to the baby. I also know that they all live in a smaller apartment and I think she has around 15 babies right now. So, I know she is really busy and she told me she isn't able to read her e-mail very often.

k1 said...

So, is ooH ooW the sound of Woo Hoo being taken back?

Beckyb said...

Thank you all - I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

redmaryjanes said...

Too funny you sisters.
I didn't even know what you were talking about for a minute there! It is cool to break 300 comments on here.

k1 said...

So, how does one go about obtaining one of the fancy Sat Morn Chat sidebar links I've been seeing sprouting up on all the cool peoples' blogs?

Kim N Jeff said...

Verna and Becky you are both so talented... How did you learn to do the things that you do with the blogs...

Verna said...

Amanda is amazing. Love to hear of her kids and their journey.

Did you all see that the Johnson's got more pics of Savannah-Hope? Boy is she growing and WHAT A CUTIE!

redmaryjanes said...

What is your e-mail K1? I will send one to you. Verna made them, aren't they cute?

Kim N Jeff said...

I just read the smack talk between the two sisters... and I'm still laughing...

k1 said...

So we have two sets of sisters here this morning (BeckyB and Verna, and Kelly/K3/TB and I).

Any of you others have sisters to invite to join in?

Kelley said...

The "ooH ooW" comment was my personal favorite...I read that as "oh, ow!" Ha, ha, ha!

Verna said...

Kim, it all started when Stef and I picked the same freeby template. I wanted to look different than everyone else and just started goofing with the HTML code to see what various settings did to the template. Hubs had a program for making web pages and I started using it to make the graphics and plug them in. It just grew from there.

Beckyb said...

Verna is STILL working with me - good grief - she is so smart!!!

k1 said...

vivaitalia@prodigy.net

Do you think SteffieB will call you more names if you surpass last weeks chats number of comments?

Kim N Jeff said...

I do but she isn't up to speed on the blogging :) she would love all of you :)

Truly Blessed said...

Geeze, K1 -- you make me look like a split personality with your last comment! Believe me, one in the family is ENOUGH!

Truly Blessed said...

I didn't know Becky & Verna were sisters. Cool!

k1 said...

Kelley, oh, ow..... I'm in tears from laughing!

Truly Blessed said...

Hey Kim, tell your sister if I can blog, anyone can do it. I'm helpless and hopeless, but I get it done somehow!

Verna said...

Let me also say that I have always loved computers and considered becoming a programmer at one point.

k1 said...

Re Split personality.... unfortunately, I think the bad one has been around for so long that the nicer one isn't coming back. So sad.

Keep praying for a reversal!

Beckyb said...

Verna and I aren't REALLY sisters - that's funny - wonder how that got out in bloggerland!!! (I'd take her though!!)

redmaryjanes said...

Oh yeah, I'm sure Steffie will be harassing me. She seems to like to call me blog hoe. I think that one's going to stick.
I need to think up a good name for her.

Laura Nipper said...

Good morning ladies. Hope your morning is going well. Love all the comments.

k1 said...

And I learned from Kelly's blog. Still can't do all the things she can, but I'm getting there.

redmaryjanes said...

You do make fabulous stuff Verna. You can do anything in any size that is needed. And now with this new linking capability...I just love it.

k1 said...

I'm still just catching up on all the earlier comments.


Steffie is just jealous.

redmaryjanes said...

Hi there Laura!
How are you? Any good weekend plans?

Verna said...

Clarification--Becky and I are NOT sisters. We just play them in Blog Land (tee hee)

Truly Blessed said...

K1,

What have I possibly done that you cannot do? I can put in pictures and video (IF I upload it to DropShots first), and I know how to italicize and bold and link. That's it. Pretty pathetic for someone who has been blogging for almost 2 years.

k1 said...

think the sister thing for V and BB started at Mr. Brian's.

I really thought you were sisters.

Sorry!

Kelley said...

Oh I do hate to leave...this is so much fun! We have places to go and things to do though...gotta get that tile saw and there's a bookstore coupon that's begging to be spent!

Have a fantastic day, everyone! I'm hoping to chat with you all here next week, too!

Kim N Jeff said...

Hi Laura...

Verna said...

Hi Laura, it's a wild group here today. Be warned ;)

Truly Blessed said...

Laura,

Hi! I just popped over to your blog and saw your gorgeous children. They are beautiful!

Kim N Jeff said...

bye Kelley have a great rest of your weekend!

Truly Blessed said...

Bye, Kelley...have a great weekend. Stay warm!

redmaryjanes said...

K1,
I just sent you the link/graphic. It's in html.

Laura Nipper said...

We have a B-day party today and Tom and I are going on a date on Sunday to celebrate our 9 year anniversary.

redmaryjanes said...

Bye Kelley!
Have a great week!

k1 said...

hanging head in shame, I've never sucessfully loaded a video. I am lacking.

Verna said...

Oh yeah . . . Mr B. Wonder where he is this morning. Hey, need an opinion here. I think Becky should to in and pimp his blog. Which theme do you prefer--Little old ladies or cute little doggies like his Josie??

Kim N Jeff said...

RMJ saw that you stopped by... Yes our big news was the new little guy to our family... :)

redmaryjanes said...

Happy Anniversary! We were talking about how long everyone has been married earlier.

k1 said...

Bye, Kelley, have fun

Hi Laura

Kim N Jeff said...

I like the little old ladies :)

Truly Blessed said...

So I'm going to take the kids over to Double JJ Resort tomorrow to do the waterpark. Too bad you have a hockey game tomorrow, Kimberley, it'd be fun to do together!

redmaryjanes said...

Verna,
I have to vote for little old ladies, how hilarious would that be?
I don't know where he is this morning, he usually drops in and says hello. He never stays, but he usually does leave a little comment.

Laura Nipper said...

You are all my kind of crazy.

Kim N Jeff said...

Happy Anniversary Laura have fun on your date tonight - are you doing anything fun?

k1 said...

You have now passed last weeks comments by 4

redmaryjanes said...

Kelly,
I would love for our sons to get to know each other better. Poor little Tyler goes to every youth group when he's with us and he was at the summer camp out and he still doesn't have a friend to hang out with.
Zach has a couple of friends from school. He is good friends with one of the Kootsier boys because they played hockey together for a couple of years, but I would like for him to get to know some more kids too.

Kim N Jeff said...

Laura sorry your date is tomorrow... Just so happy for you wanted it to be tonight :)

Truly Blessed said...

I like the idea of the little old ladies as well. You know that grouchy old lady on the greeting cards? That would be funny.

Verna said...

Becky, Do you have some little old ladies that you can drop in to a header for Mr B?

Happy anniversary Laura! Are you toasty warm out there? We are finally coming out of the deep freeze.

k1 said...

Happy anniversary Laura.

Re Mr Brian's blog, make it really wrinkled little old ladies. Some without teeth.

Truly Blessed said...

Kimberley,

Tyler is going to Snow camp next weekend, isn't he? I'll make sure Toby knows that and gets to know him. Toby hangs out with a group of kids from FHC MS (even though he goes to FHE MS) because they were at GOOD*WILLIE together for the past two years (heh, I know you're laughing STILL at that!).

I'm guessing you didn't go to Z's hockey game today.

k1 said...

MAXINE! Yes, a whole blog of Maxine!

redmaryjanes said...

Yeah, put the Maxine grumpy lady on there.

Verna said...

Ok, for all who want little old ladies, send your fav Little Old lady graphic to Becky.

Do you all recognize that I would be the bossy big sis if we were sisters :o)

redmaryjanes said...

We have gone over last weeks comment number! That's cool.
I love how everyone is showing up.

Kim N Jeff said...

I think the little ladies on his site would be way to funny - would give hime something to laugh about!

k1 said...

I am SOOOOOOOO keeping my password a SECRET!

Laura Nipper said...

I wish we were going out tonight. Dates are far and few between. I think we are going to see a movie and out to dinner. It is in the low 50's right now and we are due for a ton of rain starting tonight. We will see though. You never know if its going to rain or not.

Verna said...

K1, it's not that they don't keep them a secret. It's that they don't know how to change it!! mawwwaaaah . . . evil laugh

Wonder if Becky is the good sister and I'm the bad one?

Laura Nipper said...

You guys are cracking up right now.

k1 said...

go to G**gle Images and type in Maxine cartoon and you'll get 20 pages of Maxine images.

Truly Blessed said...

Okay, Verna, now you're scaring me!

That evil laugh is really scary!

redmaryjanes said...

Oh yes, Good Willie ;)
Zach's game is at 6pm tonight. And it's supposed to be a good one. We will be there for sure. Tomorrow we have to rush out of church because his game is at 11:30 am.
Tyler is spending the night with a friend tonight and is supposed to meet us for church in the morning. His friend and his family go to our church, but the boy doesn't want to go to any youth activities.
So if I can find you guys tomorrow in time, I'll bring Tyler by to meet with Toby again.

I am literally laughing over here. I can't see you or Becky as the bad sister. But your evil laugh is great and I how you are always making sure that Mr. Brian's blog gets a make-over. I can't wait to see the old ladies.
It will be your debut blog Becky!!!

Well, it's noon, so I'd best get dressed.

Not sure what our plans are today. Daddy is out of town, so it's just the kids, the dog, the cat and I. Maybe we'll just stay in our 'jammies all day long!

I do have about 5 loads of laundry to do, so maybe I'll get to that...

This has been such fun. Everyone have a great weekend!

Good luck to Z on his hockey games tonight and tomorrow, and I hope to see you at ABC tomorrow, Kimberley!

Hello! I'm making a quick check of my blogs before heading out for the day. Lots of errands, and lunch with my Dad. I always miss the morning chat because on Saturdays I am NOT an early riser. (No little ones to drag me out of bed!). Wish I had more time to chat, but I gotta get going. Have a great day everyone!
