<---tried to go to break
<---found that <--made coffee, but forgot to hit the on button
<---will steal the cup Catherine made for Amelia
<---is a DUH today
 
<--Pops in to wave hi to the gals
<--Is glad Robin is having fun listening to her cardinal
<--Has really enjoyed the birds in <--'s backyard this year too
<--Waves to Shelley, and yells, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Cathe is in Fitness Magazine!???"
<--Hadn't heard ;)
<--Is totally with Amelia in countdown mode. Next Thursday is our last day of school!!!
<--Hopes Ronne has a good sunny day!!
<--Says it's rainy here, but <--loves a good rainy day.
<--Waves to Catherine and wishes her a safe trip tomorrow
<--Waves to the blur that was Beth! :)
<--Hopes everyone is having a good morning
<--Hopes Liann's eggs are doing well and that her DH got good news
<--'s DH got a good bonus, and he surprised <--yesterday with a proposal that we go to the beach this summer
<--was totally excited, but now thinks that maybe we should be a little more responsible and build up the nest egg a bit instead with baby on the way
<--Says <--knows though that <---will succumb to the beach though :)
<--ADORES the beach, but <--will look like a big ole beach ball in a swimsuit. Oh well...
<--Must get Oliver ready for the bus
 
<---is sleepy and grouchy this morning ;)
<---doesn't even have PMS to blame!
<---can blame a bad night's sleep though
<---woke up at 3:30 a.m. and could not fall asleep again
<---actually thought about getting up and working out for a millisecond and then decided it was just TOO early
<---says the "other woman" thread hit a bad chord with <---
<---works as a "secretary" and has lost all faith in business men in general (except for her DH)
<---thinks this woman's situation is totally different with the home based business and all (agrees there is nothing to worry about there), but it just brings back bad memories for <--- of situations in the past where married men (who NO ONE would suspect) with 2+ kids think secretaries are for more than filing... (Let them know their error really quickly!)
<---will think happy thoughts now
<---tells Robin that DH gets so mad at the birds in the morning, he always slams the window closed when they start singing ;)
<---found an alarm clock the other day at Cracker Barrel that actually has a bird singing for the alarm
<---threatened to buy it for DH ;)
<---hopes Amelia has fun with her PW
<---really needs to get back on the TM
<---tells Shelley she is more than welcome to come and help <--- weed her garden ;)
<---tells Ronne Cardinals are those really cool red birds :)
<---is excited for Catherine's trip!
<---thinks Beth has her plate full this week
<---passes her coffee thermos to Robin
<---tells Steph the beach sounds terrific
<---knows how she feels though about wanting to save the money
<---admits that if it was her, the beach would probably still win though :)
 
<---waves Happy Humpity Day to all :)
<---is LOL at today's lyric... has no idea what it's from, but <--- thinks it's funny :7
<---had a lovely run on the treadmill with Coach Sean this morning
<---is so happy to be able to have weekly rendezvous with Sean again http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/love/love0021.gif
<---is sorry Robin hasn't been able to enjoy spring very much
<---is SHOCKED to learn from Shelley that Cathe and Mama Deb are in Fitness!
<---SHOCKED! :eek:
<---will be joining Amelia on getting rid of the cookie monster
<---'s eating has been craptastic this week
<---blames PMS
<---asks Ronne if cardinals are not found in the UK at all?
<---can't imagine not knowing what a cardinal is... but it's <---'s state bird (and about 20 other states too!) and it's so easy to recognize - you can't miss that bright red!
<---is sending Catherine lots of happy packing vibes and safe travel vibes for tomorrow
<---waves to the blur that is Beth ;)
<---congratulates Stephanie's DH on his big bonus! :D
<---chants along with Ronne "BEACH, BEACH, BEACH!!!!" ;)
<---is LOL at Liann's DH getting annoyed with the singing birds in the morning
<---LOVES the singing birds!
<---needs to go check out this "other woman" thread... bbiab!
 
<--Just checked out the "Other Woman" thread too, and <--would be a weensie bit jealous too if DH had a hottie working for him.
<--Says he did work with two beautiful girls right out of college for awhile, and <--had a couple of issues, but now he's in a different department
<--Has self-esteem issues, though
<--And has witnessed what Liann mentioned and actually seen marriages break up because of office "affairs." Eww.
<--But totally trusts DH
<--Will step off of soap box and take big hormonal breath... Ahh... better. :)
 
<---says "oh shoot!" forgot to congratulate Steph on her DH's bonus!!!

[font color=red size=+5]CONGRATULATIONS[/font]
<---also needs a cookie monster exorcism
<---tells Em she's pretty sure that the other woman thread is not a bad situation at all, but thinks that the fact that it gave her and at least one other secretary on that thread pause shows that there are "situations" out there
<---says that some of the guys she has had to tell to buzz off have wives that trust them 100% and would absolutely DIE if they knew how their DH's behave on business trips
<---struggles with her DH going to things for that reason, but does trust him - thinks other women who say that are naive though, so knows she's a walking contradiction ;)

ETA
<---tells Steph that she has mandated that if DH ever has a secretary she must be at least his mother's age ;)
 
<--Thanks Liann!!
<--Doesn't really think the working with beautiful women is a matter of trusting DH as much as a matter of <--'s own insecurities.
<--Really does trust DH with all <--'s heart, just doesn't like him working with girls who are prettier than <-- (How pathetic is THAT???)
<--Adds that with every child and every year, <--falls a notch in the looks department too and feels a little more insecure.
<--Says after reading what <--just wrote, <--might should invest in self-help books instead of a trip to the beach :)
 
<--- assures Stephanie that the BEACH!!!!! would be much more therapeutic
<-- is sure that it's because Liann is so HOT!!! that business men fall for her and nothing to do with being a secretary ;)
<--- tells Emily that we don't have cardinals in the UK - is getting the impression that for <--- not to know what one is would mean <--- is a complete DOOFUS!!!!
<--- is enjoying typing with CAPITALS today!!!:7
 
<---tells Ronne she isn't a Doofus! ;)
<---says we still do not know what Japanese Rice Crackers are, so we are equal ;)
<---thanks her on the compliment ;)
<---doesn't think these guys are that discriminating though
<---just happens to be the only girl in my age bracket here
<---thinks most companies hire their secretaries young, hence the whole stigma around that position
<---knows from being in that position though that the secretary doesn't always appreciate the attention!
<---wanted to add that <---'s current boss is NOT a problem and is the perfect picture of how a business man should conduct himself, so there is hope! (last boss got fired for sexual harassment though...)

ETA
<---thinks Shelley's cardinal has a little bit of a 'tude
 
<--- thanks Shelley for the pic <--- wishes we had them here! <---'s DH would love them!
<--- reckons that Japanese rice crackers are probably called something completely different in the US!!
<--- has never been a secretary but was a Saturday girl in a hairdresser's in <---'s teens and was once asked to go out and buy a birthday card for the owner's wife!! <--- knows that secretaries get lumbered with that sort of stuff all the time!
 
<--- tells Ronne that we have Japanese rice crackers here and they're called Japanese rice crackers
<--- is also something of a secretary (boss calls me his 'girl')
<--- got fired from a job once because one of the boss's wives met <--- and decided she didn't want her husband working with <---
<--- is one of those assistants who does all SORTS of weird things in her job
<--- is rambling and apologizes
 
<---would probably be a little jealous if DH had a hot young secretary too
<---says, thankfully, most of the secretaries here are older women
<---likes Liann's idea of letting DH only have a secretary the same age as his mother :p
<---thanks Shelley for enlightening Ronne about cardinal identification :)
<---does think that particular cardinal has a bit of a 'tude ;)
<--has never had Japanese rice crackers
<---is sorry Shelley got fired for being too hot
<---on the other hand, thinks it's pretty cool that Shelley got fired for being too hot ;)
<---would never get fired for being hot... <--- is the short, frumpy, nerdy engineer :p
