#1 -- Rave: Going to Vegas next week for the first time in 4 years!

#2 -- Rant: Leaving teenage son at home for the first time, since his older siblings moved out. (Worry, worry.)

#3 -- Rant: Can't stay in Vegas as long as I'd like because of #2; also, because I recently became a "supervisor", and now I feel responsible for 16 other people.

#4 -- Rave: Oldest daughter's boss' latest invesment property is a house less than 2 miles from mine -- and he's renting it to my daughter!

rave: Agree with Mama.

Rant: most of you wont post here because jor didn't start it, and then be all thrilled when jor does. Like it matters. Pathetic.

Rave: I'll see my husband tonight; he's had meetings every night this week and I've been asleep by the time he gets in.

Rave: I feel good...the alien incubating in my womb seems happy. I felt him for the first time on Wed.--I think. It's supposed to feel like a little flutter at first, right? ;-)

Rant: I have no trips planned at the moment.

Rave: Life is good!

Another week gone by......

RAVE: It's opening day of the N. C. State Fair, and it's one of the best ones! :-) Will arrive there about 3:30 p.m., and eat my way through the place until after the fireworks around 10! Looking forward to the doo-wop and bluegrass groups, the beautiful gardens, all the animals, Al's Fries, pork BBQ, roasted corn, peach cobbler, sausage sandwiches...... YUM!!!!!!! (No, no diet today! :-d )

RAVE: Still at 22 lbs. off, water aerobics 3 times this week, down one clothing size.... YAY!!!!!!!! Thanks so much to those of you who have been encouraging me!!!

RANT: My darling 15 year old Cairn Terrier must have surgery next Friday, tumor on his lip. Probably skin cancer run amok, but could be melanoma! :-(

RAVE: The beautiful Fall colors on the Blue Ridge Parkway.... so pretty this past Monday!

Have a wonderful weekend, all! Congratulations on feeling that little flutter, OWJ!!! How wonderful.....

I don't really have any rants or raves this week, but wanted to wish you all a fabulous weekend! :)

Meesthare Oct 15th, 2004 05:13 AM

Rave: Going to New York next Thursday morning to see daughter, son-in-law, and adorable almost-one-year-old grandson. As soon as I can stop hugging them all, I'm told I get to go to Trader Joe's, as well as the new Target that just opened up in their neighbourhood, and then I'll spend a day in the city wandering, shopping, and getting taken to lunch.
Rant: Chose this time to go because my sweetie will be away for 10 days, on concert tour in the Maritimes. He's back for a couple of days and then off again, to Quebec.
Rave: He hasn't left yet! Still one more weekend to enjoy before it all happens.
To OneWanderingJew - isn't that a great feeling, that little flutter? I remember it so well, even though it's been decades. This is neat - we haven't had a baby born on this site (as it were) since Ani's little Riley, months ago.

Hyacinth: The early bird and all that...good for you....are you on GMT? Rant: Yankees ahead of BoSox Rave: Cardinal ahead of Houston. Rave: Thank God this election season is almost over!!!! Rant: New house in FLL is not finished yet :-(.

Hi everyone!

Rave: Budman's trip to Ireland sounded like a fabulous time in Italy! :) Everyone should read it on the Europe board if they haven't.

Rave: I have a full weekend of events planned with friends.

Rant: I broke up with my boyfriend last week, so I'm single again.

Rave: I think a guy on my volleyball team might be interested in me. If not, he's at least becoming a good friend, and I always like gaining new friends!

Have a great weekend everyone.

Nice pickup on the tickets Bennnie. Most likely be on Monday but that would be nice since Pedro would pitch.


BTW, there WILL be a game 5. Arroyo will win tonight.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 01:09 PM.
