Glad you have achieved so much Izzie - I wish I could be as industrious!

Still trying to find my energy and taking care of S - and praying that the other 2 and the Prof doesn't get it - I cannot imagine.

Hugs to you all,
mis

Oh Mis darlin' girl - I don't have 3 kiddies and hubby to take care of whilst being poorly.... I can be productive only once in a while - it doesn't last long - I have no discipline at all right now.... midst procrastinating and taking pics

you do what you can hun - so hoping that S-boy gets better real quick and J&G and hub don't get it either.


Here are the kitties on their 1st day out at Chez Izzie!



bless their little buttered paws!

Hi Izzie, just watched video, they certainly had a good look around at Chez Izzie, are they now safely inside again?

Mismi keep plugging away your boys and the Prof. need you, you're a strong woman and will get their. Vibes coming youir way.

Off to town now. Cheers.

<off to find a chocolate digestive - got the munchies>

how on earth did it get to be 11.27pm....... MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




edit: oh, the pics look blurry on here!

Hi all! Feeling a wee bit better today ... trying to be industrious. Ugh.
Feel like I can't walk and chew gum! Thing 1 is asking me Harry Potter questions whilst I type & it seems I can't remember - duh, Mom!
Ooh, tiger lilies*, Iz-! (Just the last pic looks fuzzy, but they all look fab! )
Bethie, if yer takin' orders fer them ther muffins, I'm putting mine in. They look & sound dee-lish! I think I can manage the frosting if it don't travel well!
Hey, weather's finally starting to "nicen" up around here. Finally, spring looks to be heading this way.
Oy, must acquiesce the computer for a turn. Suppose I should be fair! So, I'll say g'nite. Might be on later, might not. Cheerio!

*Them things grow like weeds 'round here! My FIL calls them "ditch lilies", but then again, he doesn't have an eye for them either.

got some seeds and a new tree from the vw guy today.

Cleome (rose queen) and a nice bald cyprus that will be in the ground tomorrow regardless of weather...

(where's them muffins at?)

Hey QueenDev (passes back shiny tiara and places upon the DevHead!) - looks like whatever is going around the US at the moment is pretty nasty bug-wise. Thinking of y'all and healing wishes. Ya reckon Bethie and HIM ate all those muffins yet? mmmmmmmmmm.... Glad Spring has sprung - does make such a difference when the sun shines and you can get out and about a? Pleased for you girl. x


Rock - say hey to MrVW from me when you next see him - bet his garden is gonna go into bloom soon. Glad you are planting. Noddy would love that! x

Rock - sounds like you are going to have a beautiful yard soon! Izzie - take care of yourself and get to bed! Dev - glad you are feeling better...

everyone - take care of yourselves...I am going to bed!
nitey nite!

Nitey nite sweet Dixie. Better days for S-boy and you. Sleep big and dream sweetly. x

Still lotsa muffins. Put some in the fridge and a dozen or so in the freezer. Pretty dang good.

I wish they didn't have to be virtual muffins for the crew. They are good - and since I replaced the oil and most of the eggs with whizzed nanners they're dang healthy too.

Hey all you sweet people!
Chemo brain is kicking in after 4 months of it so I am having trouble remembering some names without seeing all of the posts....I'll give it a shot.

FlavourQueen, I did look at that video, and forwarded it to some friends. Very inspiring, and bless Izzie for sending it. I had a to cry while watching it...but it was a good cry, if that makes any sense!

Izzie - you are an angel and know what to say and how to say it. How can I ever thank you for your support? Hope you got my PM ok. Not sure if I"m doing it right.

ehBeth those muffins made me drool. I love to cook. It's one of the joys of my life. Howz the knitting going these days?

Mismi - You're in the thick of things with being weak from your flu and now have a little fella to take care of too. If good vibes are worth anything I'm sending them to you there in the heart of Dixie.....stock up on vit C & eat 'em like candy. Hope things are smoothing out.

Dutchy - you sound like you're enjoying life and some decent weather? I can't remember if you already had your fishing trip or are still planning it?

I think we could all use some warm sunshine eh? Been a long winter. Only a few weeks til spring y'all, and the end of the winter flu bug! Yeah!

Back from town Captain and permission to come on board. Lovely day out and treated myself to an Indian meal at lunch time!

Verbivore hope your weekend wasn't to strenuous and you had some time left to relax. Not mentioning any specific foods here as I know what you're doing.

Bathsheba great having you around girlie, we make allowances for your forgetfulness, don't lose any hair over it. Will be off to the fishing grounds next Saturday week so will be around for a little while yet. Weather just perfect today, around 85 degrees with not a cloud in the sky.

Afternoon All

Ha... achieved little today other than following the kittens round the garden and giving birth to at least half a dozen kittens myself as the boys climbed the tree and proceeded to play cat on a cold thin branch.... and oops...move over Murph, whose gonna fall down first - that was too thin - dunk - claws - grab a passing leyllandi! thud - mi-ow

Sheesh...

they are cats - they will be fine <tells oneself>

So... all is fair dinkum here - joints are little crotchety at the moment - but other than that - ticketyboo.

Vegemite - oh, would so love to visit your country.... sometime.... someday

db - good to see you - cram in a little quality time doing the things you enjoy - walking the dawgs and some peace time - before the 12th. Then... go into the hospital with the thoughts of "last time you little c-cells - gonna kick you into touch with this one"... and then... feel free to jump on board and have a good whinge and a moan. We know it's gonna be ugh for you - hopefully the last ugh you will have to endure. Then onto brighter horizons a? Hey... you know, we could make you a feather hat... I'll hold the BEAgle - you can pluck a few tail feathers. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh.... no - he'd enjoy that way too much.

BEAgle... hope you are having a big sleep - love ya hun.


Missy - how's S-boy going? and you... and QueenDev? you feeling more energised today?

Bethie...... cool..... a muffin on hold for when I eventually get back to the US and Canada!


Now... where's that DjjD and Indeedee.... and where's our BLUE?

Just a quick Howdy-Doody to the crew. I'm home and getting ready to go knee deep in studying. Exams next week.

I think I have been studying too hard. I had this dream last night that I went to class and there was a big test. Only I didn't know about it! I was so unprepared! It also happened to be on the day that I forgot to get dressed!!

God help me ... what a nightmare!



Love you guys. Hope all is well. Will read back when I get a chance!
xoxox

PS- No - no! I didn't go to school naked. It was all a dream!!

Or was it?

apparently you use muscles gardening that you don't use during the winter

i'm a little sore today, oh well this too shall pass
