Today has been a crazy day- me and sister went to the Quarter- it was pretty quiet down there today. Now we are packing to evacuate- we had several options of places to go but we have decided to rent a condo in Destin Florida!! Beautiful beaches- it will feel like a vacation. We leave at the crack of dawn. Still have lots to do but just wanted to check in.

Ahhh Destin...so beautiful those sugary white beaches and emerald waters.

Sorry you are having to evacuate.

I'm craving hot chocolate and toast right now, and we dont have any hot chocolate :(

Mmmm...that would be good!

Dear Necrotica and Rejean, have a wonder-full connected time!

I am the QUEEN of procrastinating! I'm working hard at it, but it seems like now that I'm not working, I procrastinate about everything. Everything, that is, until something drives me crazy enough that I have to do it! ~giggles~

:lol:

We may need to share that title...for quite a few of us!

And do you start something, turn around see something else, start that, turn around, see something else...etc. etc. etc.??

Sweet lordy lordy, I have terrible A.D.D.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I think we can all share this title. I mean seriously, anyone dragging their feet on VJ all day instead of doing stuff is procrastinating :P Like waiting for 4pm to get dressed and clean the house when hubby finishes at 5pm, or making laundry when hes out of socks/underwear, etc

I used to do all my homeworks/studies the day before the exam in school :lol:

Procrastination FTW!

Oh wow. Stay safe, Stacey. I hope Gustav settles down and doesn't cause any damage. How frightening. :(

So. I woke up at 4:00am and couldn't get back to sleep. post-21394-1220087212.gif

Krikit, I hope you get to nappy today.

Do you have a kitty?

(I forget.)

They are the zen masters of relaxation.

I need to hang with one of those again.

Mmmmm...

Wow MissStacey, horrible that you are having to evacuate, wonderful that you and your Sister are going to Florida for some fun in the sun!

My cat was meowing at my door at around 5-ish I would guess - she wants company....so not all cats are conducive to good sleep :lol:

Did you wake up krikit and start thinking about your drive to Canada and work??

Ok so I just released another lizard in the catch and release program - however this one was in the apartment!

I was just about to sit down at the computer and I looked down and saw something that looked like a bit of fluff (this happens when you have a cat named fluffy and live in a cave) - but then the bit of fluff moved, it was a baby lizard.

Whateva!!

No, I just woke up thinking "#######. It's still dark out, and I've only had 4 hours sleep. Why am I wide awake?" :blink:

I went and laid down on the couch and fell back to sleep for an hour. Hubby left for the gym a few hours ago. Guess he's having a good time. :lol: They have a theatre room where they play movies. It's dark like a movie theatre with a huge screen. Just like a movie theatre, actually, only with treadmills and elipticals and stuff. I bet you anything he's in there watching a movie. :lol:

our golds gym has the setup in a cinema room! but its way too hot in there.

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

How did you catch it, Trailmix? Did you freak? Did Meowmix see it? Did he freak? I hope I never have to go on safari for one of those ever again. :dead:

So. I was going to pack up and leave today, howevah..... they ("they" being my old employer) did not get back to me to confirm what-when-where-and-how so I refuse to drive up there until I receive that. Well, I refuse to leave today..... et's put it that way. :lol: I might leave tomorrow. That'll give them Tuesday to freak out about not getting back to me in time.

All the rain we had last week (a very welcome rain!) washed my daughter's herb garden across the backyard. LOL, who know where all those herbs will wind up growing...if they do. We've had the hardest time growing anything with the ground being so hard and dry. I just hope they wind up somewhere, for her sake. She worked so hard on it. :)
