That's the guy who provided that horrorscope! Ha ha!
I wasn't going to login, but D9 is sorting out her gazillion boxes of girl scout cookies and I'm letting her do it without micromanaging her. (I forced her to lug mine down to the freezer immediately--except for 1 box of mint cookies!).
Oh, I hope Cainer is right... I'll let you know.
Nighty night.

Aw Heck Betsey...I HAD to go look my own HORROR-scope out... Weekly: Patience is not always a virtue. It can, under some circumstances, be a reprehensible vice; a clear indication of apathy, stupidity or gullibility. Impatience could, by much the same token, be profoundly wise and deeply appropriate. Some things need to be done as soon as possible. Tomorrow is too late. You are not keen to put off a particular plan a moment longer. The planets, this week, suggest you are right to leap boldly into action. Don't talk yourself out of a deeply-held belief.
This is insane...if I fall down THAT particular tunnel I KNOW what the resullts would be
Bob Barker and Mac&Chheese eh...H would probably think I was on drugs ...lol.

LOL - that is weird - here's MY horoscope: Let's begin your week by picking a fight with the Oxford Dictionary. It tells us that the word 'impossible' means: 'unable to be done or exist.' So far, so good. But it goes on, as part of the very same primary definition to offer: 'extremely difficult, inconvenient or implausible.' What nonsense. That's a totally separate, alternative use for the word. If something is possible, how can it possibly be 'impossible?' The distinction, as you'll discover this weekend, is crucial. Does this mean my v-day is gonna be good, or bad? Hmm....
One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.
Hi Betsey!
Just wanted you to know I was thinking about you.
By the way, the Mint GS cookies are my faves too. Have you ever bitten off the ends and soaked them in milk? The milk stays inside the chocolate and it is a taste sensation! Trust me here.
Hope you have a great weekend. As a matter of fact, I hope I have a great weekend too!
Zoo... Yes, I agree that impatience wouldn't serve either of us very well right now.
Well, the only amusement you get out of the Bob Barker routine is the fact that the spouses DO suspect drugs or alcohol... or just plain old-fashioned insanity.
Sort of fun in the midst of all the seriousness.
On a serious note, we all know how just one person can bring us down--so the converse must be true too. If it takes acting like Bob to get my family out of the "mope mode", I'm all for it until we all act like one unit again.
You can't be Bob all the time, either. I have to use some discretion on when he needs to pop in for a visit. Not as often as you all here would think.
Pam, there is no "bad" way to eat a mint girl scout cookie. They even have the Dreyer's ice cream, which is fantastic. D6 loves ALL cookies, and it took me the entire night to keep her from opening up the boxes. It wasn't enough that she ate half a box of mints and then dug into D9's box of samoas... the girl has a sweet tooth that can put mine to shame!
I delivered the cookies to my colleagues--half of which are on Atkins and started the groaning and crying. I finally had to get firm and tell them to stifle the complaints and put them in the freezer for another day.
Don't shoot the messenger, especially when they asked to order the damn cookies to begin with!
Somehow, I sense no more Atkins next week...
TTFN
p.s. Linda, thanks for the chat last night!

Hi CutieBob, You really helped me last night...gave me some insight into the mediation process that will help me focus and get this done. I am such a bitch..I woke up to ugly drab weather and could NOT bring myself to go ski blue runs with the doc ski date. Called and cancelled and DAMN if it isn't blue sky right now, 2 hours later. He even offered to take me out for VD if I wasnt' doing something and I lied....but it was sweet of him to ask.
ANYWAY....I'm going to spend the day writing up the stuff we discussed and see how it plays. Thanks for giving me the benefit of your experience.
Have fun dressing up and dancing. ANd tey the act as if game tomorrow...Act as if, Mr. Wonderful is trying to make contact with his shark and if he does ANYTHING re VD....oh and ah and blush like a BOB. Happy days! gd
Does Bob blush? Anyway - I'm interested in your remark, Betsey, about using discretion in breaking out the Bob - when should it not be used? At least, are there any downsides to the Bob approach you've noted? Just wondering, Myrrh
