  • WOW!

    Yesterday morning I had 40,000 credits - when I woke today, I'm just a couple short of 45,000.  I never expected anything like the outpouring that took place here and I'm stunned.  THANK YOU!

    ********

    I have a nasty cold.  My sinuses are so congested that I kept waking myself up with snoring.  So I didn't sleep well last night.  I woke this morning to the sound of Michael taking out the trash without being asked.

    Not only that but he was showered, dressed, had eaten his breakfast and had already made his lunch.

    I asked him if he remembered to put the bandaids over the blisters on his feet that have been cause for me to drive him to school for a week.  He said, "No, but I'm wearing the same socks as yesterday because they still have ointment on them"

    Then he saw the look on my face and started saying, "I was just kidding, I'm developing a sense of humor ... ha .. ha ... see you later!"

    Tucker is teasing the cat.  He gets Joe all wound up so he's running through the apartment like his tail is on fire and then Tucker ducks into his room and hides which REALLY freaks out the cat.  Tucker says, "I'm lucky he doesn't have exposable thumbs ..."

    Tina's son, Ben, is graduating from High School this afternoon.  I want to go but I really don't feel well.  If my cold meds can give me relief, I'll meet the gang for the pre-graduation lunch and give Ben his card.  If I'm still headachey and achey, I'm going to console myself with the knowledge that I can give it to him on Sunday.  I feel confident that although he would like to have a huge cheering section, he'll be okay with getting the present. 

    ********

    If I don't go to the graduation festivities, I'll hang out here and participate in the Welcome Wagon for a couple of hours   I'm almost halfway there!  Thank you my friends.

    most of the time graduation ceremonies are crowded so unless I'm related I don't go but have a piece of cake and give them a card with $ doesn't matter how much cause they make out like bandits anyway.

    Okay, found a good one

  • sweet_dixie_rose

    Just think - 25 more surveys (more or less) and you'll be at 100K. Isn't that the amount you need?

  • sweet_dixie_rose
    A pit for you ...

    I only had 2 credits (I gave them all to you yesterday) and this doggie was cheap ......

  • quiltnmomi

    @vexations - Thank you Bill! 


    @sweet_dixie_rose - Yes, if they would let me do a survey, that would do it.  But I haven't "qualifed" for a survey since sometime in March, and this month is the last month they are offering the credits for completing them.  So not muh hope there. 

  • quiltnmomi

    @sweet_dixie_rose - Giggles, I'll take a cheap doggie

    Good night - sleep well!

    Hope you feel better soon!  Hope you get better sleep tonight.  Bad sleep does not help one recover, that's for sure!

    Ten credits a pop with the welcome wagon is pretty nice.  I have never gotten a response from one of them, though.  You might check out ninmaniac87.  I think he's new enough to be worth 10 credits, and he's also my brother.   
    I love it when you talk about your sons.

  • quiltnmomi

    @BoureeMusique - Have you looked at the Welcome Wagon today???  They changed it sometime last night and now the visits are only worth 6.  a 40% reduction!   Sometimes, I think I'm bad luck.  It's a good thing I also think it's funny.

    Wow...Michael is impressive! 


    I love that...exposable thumbs. 


    Most grads I know would be happy with the gift. 


    Feel better.
