Good Wednesday Morning

[Islandzoo]

Hello all, here I am again ;) back in the land of the (semi) living
it's warmer today and some sunshine which is a start!

Sue, when do you go on holiday ? looks a nice cottage! I go the 4th of June to cornwall :highfive:

Bob has learned to say Hello Basil though I don't think you'd catch Basil saying hello Bob!
he's such a funny little thing, says bybye when I put my coat on!

I wish I could take him to work with me :rolleyes:......

[Bill]

Hi Kristie...I would love to hear your Bob say "hello!"

I did not sleep very well! Phooey! I hope I sleep better tonight. I think I will go to bed earlier tonight.

Talk more later.

[Shirley]

Good Morning! Sunny Spring Day!

The irises above actually smell like grapejuice!

:wavey:Happy Wednesday morning.

Shirley, the flowers are beautiful,:Blueflowe you have a really lovely yard. Do you have fish in your pond?

Bill, I bet you're not sleeping well because of all the excitement. Try to get some rest so that you're fresh and alert for your defense.:)

Kristie, glad to hear that you're feeling a bit better. Nicer days help too, eh? That "bye bye" would just turn me to jello. I'd have to stay the rest of the day out of guilt for leaving. :agree:

I woke up with a monster cold sore, swollen glands and a stuffy nose. :foot-tap:
Bailey's been chewing on his perches. Chewed one completely through and is now working on the other.

uggg can barley see through these watery/itchy eyes.............hope this goes away soon.


Vicki, sounds like you're in for a ride too, w/this sickie stuff. Hope you have a short illness!!

What a wonderful start to the day to see such beauty, thanks Shirley!! I loooove your yard, how nice!!

Bill, I wouldn't count on much sleep until this is all over with, lol. Oh the excitement!! hehehe

Kristie, love it when they 'know' whats going on, I wish you can take her to work too, that's my only stipulation to going back to work again...........that I can bring one of my birds w/me, I can switch who can come, heheehe wouldn't that be wonderful?? Are you in a position to 'ask' if she can come, or is your work unsafe to bring her along??

To everyone and those who haven't checked in yet.....................

Hi Everyone,
I'm really running late today:rolleyes: I've been saving stuff on discs to send to head office as my new boss has bought the "office" from the old boss. Hopefully I won't be without the internet but if I disappear it will be tomorrow or Friday.:agree:
Only one more day then i've got 10 days off before I start the new job.

Kristie... Hope you're feeling better:wub:
My hol starts on Bank Hol Monday 30th May, we're back on Friday 3rd so if we don't talk before you go have a fantastic time!!:emot-danc

Bill... I hope you get some sleep, all this excitment is the cause:agree:

Shirley... Gorgeous flowers, i love iris's. Iris was Dave's Mum's name and we have some nice ones in our garden.:heart:

Vicki & Barb.... Sorry you're under the weather, hope you feel better soon!:grouphug2

Hi All! I did my "mock" presentation in front of my bosses who were very helpful with their suggestions on how to improve the presentation. Now I have to update the presentation with their suggestions.

My aunt is not going to go...she just told me this morning by email, which I received prior to my presentation. Wish I had waited to pick up my email. UGH! I told her that I was sorry she would not get to revel in my accomplishment. But will not give her the power by knowing she will be missed as I believe that is what she is doing. Oh well! Life is too short to sweat the small things.

Thank you ALL for your continued support!

[Bill]

I have improved my presentation 110%!!!

Who needs my aunt when I have all the wonderful members here who have been extremely supportive! Thank you for your kindness!

Afternoon All! first day back after a too short vacation,,,,YUCK!
Oh well, 11 or so weeks til my vacation in August,,,,:highfive:
Hope everyone had a great day!:wavey:

[Jean]

Hi,:wavey: I am a bit late today.


Bill, I am glad they gave you hints to improve your presentation. Sorry to hear your aunt will not be making it to your graduation.

Vicki, and Barb, I am sorry you all are not feeling well. Sending get well wished your way. :grouphug:

Kristi, I hope you are getting some relief too.:tighthug: It has to give you a thrill to hear Bob say "Hello Basil" that is adorable!

Shirley, :thanx: for the beautiful flowers. Your plants and flowers are looking pretty.:)

Sue, I know you are getting excited to close out the old business and get on your relaxing vacation. Are you going boating while you are there?

[Bill]

Thanks Jean! I actually added more information on the second go-around on my presentation. I am not going to take it personal that my aunt does not want to come. Oh well...there are far better things to use my energy on. HEHE!

[Jean]

Bill, that is a good outlook, you have many more avenues to focus your positive outlook on. :) Hope you got that swim.:highfive:

[Sue]

Are you going boating while you are there?[/QUOTE] Hopefully yes Jean:agree: we could have hired a boat to stay on but they cost twice as much as the cottage and with all the bathroom expense we didn't want to spend too much on this holiday.:)

[Jean]

That is easily understandable. We had a 19ft Tahiti ski boat for years. They are not cheap to operate and maintain. I hope you can spend a little time boating. Most marinas here offer hourly or daily rates on boats or pontoons. :)

[Bill]

A good outlook goes a long ways. Thanks Jean!

[Jean]

Bill, have you had time to take a dip the pool yet?

[Bill]

Nope...I forgot my trunks! But that is okay as I am resting in the lap of luxury for much less than regular rack rate!!!

[Jean]

I am glad the subject came up before your trip was over. It is always nice to share anything to save traveling expenses. Luckily, I haven't had to pay a rack rate in many years unless I was caught traveling and did not get a room early enough to where most rooms were rented in a town and they could hold out for rack rate.
That was in Tucomcari New Mexico in 1999.

[Bill]

I am so thankful for that conversation. Very helpful it was!

[Shirley]

Bill, Troy and I have been with you in spirit, just not on the board much. Been way to busy to catch every post but must get things done before next week. Way to go and keep going till the 3rd!!

Vicki: Yes, we have 8 fish: ck out the all creatures forum: Koi pond.

Thanks for the flowers compliments!

[Bill]

Thanks Shirley! I understand being busy! HEHE!
