dave22's Journal, 27 August 2008

Did ya ever climb a mountain? I did yesterday when I got in from work... I had to scale the North Face of the Mountain of laundry after the visit, from bedding to towels to stuff 'n' stuff. It marked the end of our 3 weeks of overseas visitors and the return of our household to our relative normality *twitch*.

Which means of course that I get to come back home to FS and wallow in the delight of sublime company, savage laughter and deep emotions - ain't it great! Only thing is that it will probably take a month to catch up with everyone! If anyone can summarize that would be great... who's pregnant, who's got married, who's a size zero, who's become clinicly insane (welcome to my world!)

Damage and weight wise.... chuckles... I ain't looked yet - isin't it funny how normally I peek at the scales every day but since last Thursday, knowing that things have not been perfect, I've just decided to accept whatever the story is on Sunday.... God do I need this 20 carb challenge *s*

Ahhhh 'tis good to be back.... and ALL things will seem to be in perfect harmony tonight as I stay at my folks and will get to see Gerry the barman again... its been hard being away from him... I missed him so... and tonight I might even pop the question..

Gerry... will you... m..

will you ma...

Gerry will you make yerself useful there and pull me a pint!

I wonder iffin he'll say yes????

Huggles....xxx

<----self-diagnosed clinically insane. That's me. Welcome back! LOL at your mountain climbing expedition. I had no idea that laundry was such an adventure! I've been missing out on something... not sure what... but I know when I'm missing out! I'm sure Gerry will forgive your absence and you still have 4 days to make nice with the scales. Good luck with your 20 carb challenge!

Don't laugh because this is the ugly american story and not at all the choice a reasonable european would make but.....embarassingly we have 2 laundry rooms- one up for the kids rooms and clothes, and one down for my bedroom, house laundry, towels and stuff and guest room. Ughhhhh it sounds as if I am using enough energy for the whole western hemisphere!!!!!!!It was one of the smartest things we did when we built the house, no one fights over the washr and dryer and with 8 people living tgether I guess what I use in energy , I make up with in my contribution to world peace. LOL

Mother of the Almighty sharon!!!! let me just clarify... is your washer/dryer in the East Wing or the West wing of the estate! (nudging cindy as I mouth the word "aristrocrat" with sign language for extra emphasis!) btw sharon... I think its about time you were nominated for the noble peace prize![i think 1st prize is a trip to disney!]

Gerry and Davie, sittin' in a tree, s-i-p-p-i-n-g! Not sure if you have that similar kids where you are... SO glad to see you back! Maybe if you do jumping jacks during each dryer cycle, you can work off that pint!

lol Ahhhhh.. yes, Mt. Laundry. She erupts in our laundry room about twice a week, here. Can't seem to keep her ugly head at bay! I even have an extra large loading tub, too. BAH! Nemesis! Sharon, with 8 ppl in one house, I'd say two laundry rooms would be a must!! Awesome thinking to have that. ;) Can't even fathom how you afford to buy the groceries, let alone the laundry soap!! I'm sure one last pint, won't crack the bank Davey.. enjoy it to the last drop! :)

We missed you Dave! Glad you made it back for the challenge Captain! Team Captain, that is...I can't wait. We'll all be ready to get going on Monday. Sharon, since you're running a regular boarding house with 8 people living there, plus guest room, I think you're allowed to have 2 laundry rooms!

P.S. I think I might be going insane since I signed up for yet another challenge, this one is for three months (through holidays) at work. Pray for me...

welcome back...put me in the clinically insane category...lol...you are so lucky that you have family that likes you enough to stay with you...

You are Definitely, Absolutely, Certifiable Insane! And don't we all have fun with it. :) I am SURE Gerrie missed ya' just horribly, hopefully he won't go into shock with your return, or your request for a pint! at 15 carbs pert pint that will be hard to work in during the challenge, not impossible but you probably need to get one guilt free pint in before Sunday.

Welcome Back, Davy! We missed you terribly! I have a mountain in my laundry room too, and I didn't even have guests! I keep thinking that if I ignore it, it will go away! LOL

Okay, so here is what has been happening. BanAndee has been political, crazy and out of control (so nothing has changed there). She has harrassed gearhead relentlessly, who has fought back with a tale about Willy Wonka. Oh, and BA is hosting the FS Christmas Party. Kimbulie has been working out so much she is almost a size 0 – except she ate like 50 Atkins bars the other day. Grambear got back from a vacation where she shared some amazing pictures with us. Too bad you missed that. Sararay has joined a bizzillion challenges and has read 40 books since you last checked in. And she made a new recipe and cleaned her closets and still managed to fight for the local farmers. Mbhpro has been really busy with her mother, but took the time to get chased and bitten by a dog on a beautiful afternoon. I haven’t seen Keri15 around much. But she might be the pregers one. Hmmmmm…..Could be fun!! Oh, and her wedding dress arrived. Shannon21 is looking WAY good. She might be in a size 0 next. DW has been extremely insightful lately. And caged liberty is working on a novel (or she should be – because she is such a good writer!). Me, well, I’m busy writing long entries in other people’s journals. That about sums it up. Welcome back.

Hmmm....did I miss anyone? Mind you...this is all from memory. Aren't I amazing??? 
27 Aug 08 by member: Paige E
LOL@ Paiges amazing memory!!I think you got everyone but Michael Jackson in there!! So glad I read your response because now I feel like I just caught up with the daily sagas here at FS!!(Saves having to scour through oodles and noodles of journals of each member!!)

um...Paige...you forgot about YOU! why don't you be a lovey and tell him what YOU'VE been up to? hmmm? Well, nevermind, I don't think I can trust you to be honest here, so I'll just tell Dave myself how you've been chasing Simille's cabana boys (SHAMELESSLY, MIND YOU! their names are Git'er and Done). At one point Paige even disappeared (shhhh!! We think she was in the closet with them) but she said she was in her room watchin TV (only there wasn't a tv to be found!). SHE also hopped on her broom (uh um...I mean, she hopped in her car!) made a run to McDonalds, BOUGHT 50 big macs and 2 vanilla shakes for HERSELF...When she got back, she proceeded to run around the site, MISLEADING the innocent folks here into believing them burgers were homemade and HEALTHY! Then you know what she did?? She handed them out, and lead most of us astray! The worst part is that she's been leaving Iniquitous footnotes on everyone journal, mine especially! You MAY WANT TO DO SOMETHING to help us reign her in, Dave!!
