<--- thanks Nance, Kali, and Beavs for their nice comments about her new avatar:)
<--- congratulates Nance for going to the gym
<--- needs to finish her workout and is then going out to lunch with DH:9

<--came back to say: Ame, WE WANT PICS!!!
<--says everyone who gets Luckys has to take pics
<--says it's a rule :p :+
<--is really off and running now
Ms. NP
 
<-- knows it's the rules
<-- wonders if you want the photos before they have been washed or after?
<-- has to find the dang camera before whoops <-- turned around while typing and there it is
<-- will be taking a weird looking photo since our mirror is in the square hallway and DH is at work all day
<-- is reading a case on the S&L thing and the tax implications of secion 1001(a) and whether a taxable event occurs with a transfer of a materially similar property or not
<-- thought you all needed a nap and so <-- decided to explain it a moment ^^
<-- will go and attempt a photo of the as-yet-unwashed-yet-still-wearable Lucky's :p

ETA: <-- took 3 icky photos that you won't be able to see how the jeans really look
<-- now cannot find the cable to connect camera to computer
<-- is getting flustered
<-- thinks it is silly to be flustered by taking a photo of herself in her new jeans :p
<-- asks for forgiveness and <-- will ask DH to take photos tomorrow
 
<--is now in her office
<--tells Ame that <-- doesn't understand the washed/unwashed thing
<--wonders if Ame got Luckys that aren't pre-washed and pre-worn-in?
<--doesn't think Lucky makes any of those
<--has not washed her Luckys yet
<--says don't be shocked, <-- doesn't get to wear jeans much
<--is now thinking that if Ame thinks the Luckys need to be washed first, maybe she got a size that's too big?
<--says they should fit right away, no washing needed
<--will now do some work for awhile :p :+
Ms. Nancypants
ETA:<--doesn't know what S&L stands for
<--wonders if Ame means G&L (gains and losses) or S&E (sales and exchanges)
<--has decided to pick out a restaurant for dinner before starting work }(
<--REALLY wants to go here, but knows DT won't like it: http://www.mesagrill.com/dinner.htm
<--darn :(

<---is watching The Mirror Has Two Faces
<---loves that movie

ETA:
<---waves to Megadoo
<---hopes she has a nice dinner with her family
 
<-- is on her way to NY to have dinner with Nance
<-- tells Nance her denim doctor told her the jeans would shrink a smidge in the length after the first washing, and today is laundry day, and who knows when the next laundry day will be, so why not?
<-- also tells Nance he said you can either wash and dry them after each wearing, or whenever, but if you feel that they are stretching too much you can just stick them in the dryer and they should shrink down back to normal
<-- bought the right size :7 according to all 3 of us in the store :7 :7 (they told <-- they should feel 1/2 size too small in the store)
<-- LOL every time she sees it says it's a size 2 (26 Lucky's)
<-- should buy more expensive stuff more often, as her size in the chi chi clothes is much lower than in the cheapy clothes :7
<-- also tells Nance S&L is savings and loan, <-- is reading Cottage Savings Association v. Commissioner 111 S. Ct. 1503 (1991)
<-- tells Nance <-- has been reading these 6 pages for aboot 5 hours now and they still don't make sense x(
<-- should have just PMd Nance :p
<-- was 14 in 1991 :p
<-- should say, DH was 20!!! :eek:
<-- says we can never discuss his first years of college or <--'s years in junior high because that just gets GROSS
<-- wants to know if Doodle is going to dinner or what?
<-- wonders if maybe she's making dinner?
<-- congrats Doodle on tips
<-- wonders what would happen if Maeghan wore a button that said "Tip-a-Doodle" at work, LOL
<-- is officially cracking herself up over here
<-- is going to go make herself more tea and head back to the tax book
 
<--says Ame, you and I own the same size in our Lucky jeans
<--wonders if Ame got Sweet 'n Low or whatever they're called?
<--says tell Chase I love him right back :D
<--tells Ame that Meg is going out to dinner
<--is going to save her trip to Mesa Grill for when Ame comes to visit :D :D :D :D
<--LOVES southwestern and NEVER gets to eat it x(
<--spends too much time with DT ;)
<--tells Tammy, we late sleepers ROCK
<--left it to DT to make the reservations
<--admits to being a tad worried about that
<--would love to choose the restaurant for the GTG
<--had some more thoughts about a GTG today
<--was thinking that you should all just take a weekend (or more) to come to NYC with DHs to make it a combined GTG/vacationy thing
<--will pick a restaurant and will be happy to have you all over to her apt. for a visit, just doesn't have sleeping room
<--knows that NYC is easy to get to for everyone
<--is forgetting to work
<--says DT chose this: http://www.punchrestaurant.com/about.html
<--is jiggy with it
Ms. NP
 
<-- has Easy Riders
<-- tried on the Sweet n Low in a 27 and they didn't really fit in the thighs
<-- knew going in the Easy Riders were <--'s best option
<-- is ravenous after looking at Punch's menu
<-- should really start in with DH on a March trip to NYC
<-- is sure he'd be fine with it
<-- just has to find the nearest Hyatt
<-- did enjoy the Starwood benefits but Hyatt's will be just as good for our purposes :7
<-- asks Nance (and Tig too if she's around) what her fly says?
<-- showed DH <--'s says lucky you or something funny like that
<-- was absolutely thrilled the jeans are button fly!!!
<-- admits to feeling silly posting this much about a pair of jeans
<-- has been looking for a good pair for a really really really long time, though
<-- has to pay attention to her growling tummy now, as apparently a Larabar AND huge bagel have done nothing
<-- should also get back to studying
<-- is going to try a Jari Love workout today
<-- does not anticipate loving it...
 
<--- wildly waves at Tammy and thanks her for the compliment
<--- hopes more <--- posters will post their baby picture
<--- tells Tammy we are unLucky in her neck of the woods, too
<--- is on her way to Tammy's for dinner
<--- thinks a NYC GTG would fantastic!
<--- edits to add that her DH is going to rescan her picture to see if he can sharpen up the image a bit
 
<--is totally down with a NYC GTG
<--metro north or Amtrak will bring <--with bells on
<--would love to hit the East Village....
<--it has been too many moons
 
<--tells Ame her fly says the same thing
<--believes they all do
<--totally understand Ame posting about the jeans
<--knows how frustrating shopping can be and LOVES making an excellent purchase also
<--will look this weekend for the nearest Hyatt :D
<--thinks the idea of having folks just come directly to the city with their DHs makes the most sense
<--says DT would love to meet the other DHs, if any are game
<--says he can't wait to talk about us the way we talk about them :eek:
<--is also thinking about another trip to northern CA
<--adored Napa and is thinking of Sonoma next time
<--tells Ame that Punch has unusual food in that they are a bunch of smaller dishes, and you can order several without eating too much
<--says oh yeah, work :(
Ms. NP
 
<-- and Gracie say hi
<-- says now Gracie left so it's just <--
<-- thought the flys said something different for the different styles, but maybe that was years ago
<-- knows DH wants to go to NYC so he'd be game for a visit
<-- would require Nance list restaurants for lunch and dinner for every day we are there
<-- would never take the train across country, though, as that would make <-- want to scream
<-- can handle the train to/from school for 45 minutes and that's almost <--'s limit
<-- thinks Punch's style of serving is perfect
<-- always eats everything on little dishes anyway, as <-- does not at all like her foods to touch, and heaven forbid a sauce (like gravy on Thanksgiving) touch a vegetable or something :eek: *shudder*
<-- tells Nance <-- and DH would love to host a No CA trip for Nance and DT for a night or two!
<-- expects you'd want to stay in the wine country most of the nights, though
<-- thinks of Napa and Sonoma as pretty much the same place
<-- recommends Oct/Nov for travels to the wine country since the grapes are being harvested and the vines changing colors
<-- says DH loves November best in Napa and that's why we got married there in November
<-- is absolutely freezing here right now inside the house
<-- thinks the weather has been strange lately with one day indian summer and the next day late fall temps
<-- is still in her jeans, btw :7
<-- is not understanding tax
<-- is avoiding it and procrastinating here instead
<-- may not do the workout <-- had planned today
<-- might need to do some cardio to warm up!!!
<-- wonders where exactly in wine country Nance went before?
<-- is very confused by Nance thinking Napa and Sonoma are all that separate
<-- chalks it up to being across the country ;)
<-- will get to work on DH and NYC this afternoon! :7
 
<--realizes that Napa and Sonoma are very similar and very close
<--spent an entire week in Napa going from vineyard to vineyard with every intention of returning and doing the Sonoma vineyards
<--knows that's a bit weird
<--does not rush through vacations
<--can't stand to rush through anything
<--loved every minute of Napa :D :D
<--could easily spend another week in Sonoma
<--refuses to list restaurants for Ame
<--will show her the restaurants personally }( }(
<--wonders if Ame is second-guessing her visit to NYC for fear of having <--tag along the whole time :eek: :eek:
Ms. NP
 
<-- is LOL at Nance
<-- was afraid to say "<-- insists Nance accompany us to every lunch and dinner while we're there" and instead said "please list" :p
<-- is also LOL at Nance loving Napa
<-- suggests you have your MIL live in Napa and *then* see what you think of it
<-- wonders if <-- has told you recently about MIL??
<-- has been secretly smiling at MIL recently since she met this man... who is a travel agent in his retirement... and who makes MIL do stuff she would never ever ever do by herself
<--'s favorite is when they went river rafting together... and she got dumped out of the raft!!
<-- loves that story for the way MIL tells it (she is outrageously proud of herself for doing all this stuff)
<-- tells Nance if she can swing it, plan her next CA trip to coincide with whatever reservations she can get at the French Laundry
<-- saw where the Hyatt was :eek:
<-- }( }( }( :7
<-- could also stay in NJ across the Hudson and that would be lots of fun too since neither of us have ever been to NJ
<-- is now off to locate the Hyatt in NJ and how far away that is from 4 Seasons (wouldn't that be cool?!?!)

ETA: <-- sees it would be about 2 hours away to drive to Cathe's gym
<-- might have to convince DH to go on a road trip, LOL!
<-- says it's generally the other way around, as <-- cannot stand road trips and DH loves them
<-- wonders if tax will ever get done
 
"<-- could also stay in NJ across the Hudson and that would be lots of fun too since neither of us have ever been to NJ
<-- is now off to locate the Hyatt in NJ and how far away that is from 4 Seasons (wouldn't that be cool?!?!)"

<--does not think that would be lots of fun
<--does not think that would be way cool
<--tells Ame that staying on the other side of the GW Bridge would not get her anywhere near Cathe's gym, and would make it a bit tougher to get to the city
<--says if she stays near Cathe's gym, she will be several hours from the city
<--grew up on that side of the bridge and says skip it unless you love mauls
<--hopes she isn't being too negative here
<--is ALL ABOUT the French Laundry and is living to go there some day
:D
<--thinks MIL sounds cute
Ms. NP
ETA:<--says this could work if Ame thinks it would be less expensive than the Grand Hyatt: http://www.google.com/maps?hl=en&lr...4271406084686305&sa=X&oi=local&ct=result&cd=3
