Tuesday a.m. already? Really, yesterday I felt like I was running a track & field event! LOL! I didn't stop for a moment. I TRIED to come to chat, but those of you that were there, know that I had to leave only moments after arriving. Molly got invited to a friend's house to swim right after I got there. DH called looking for something, etc. The list goes on. So, today, once again, I'm running, but not quite as much. After the kids are on the bus, I will fold a basket or 2 of laundry, then go to the basket supply store. AFter that, I'll go to recess. Today after recess they have a Farewell to 6th grade program, that they have asked me to speak at! Sheesh! I hate speaking in public! But, the teacher insists that the kids adore me on the playground and would love it if I got up there and said something. So, I will. It will be kind of fun!! After that, I'm home to work on baskets (I should be able to finish them tonight). Dinner - not sure what we are having yet. So that is my day. I'll pop in when I can....

Hugs,
Wendy

I like to refer to them as 'the boys next door'. Their house is kept very nice, beautiful landscaping, and they are very discrete. They keep to themselves, mostly. Dh was very unhappy to find out that he had a gay couple as neighbors, but we really can't say much bad about them. They look alike, which cracks me up. Both bald with butts just a little too big. And they have great halloween and Oscar night parties, I hear. They tried to sell their house last spring and didn't have a lot of luck. This is a very suburban young family kind of neighborhood and I'd imagine it's going to be hard for them to find someone who can get past the fact that it was inhabited by a gay couple. So they are going to wait and try again after they do some upgrades. I'm not in any hurry for them to leave, though, because they really are nice neighbors.

As for how I came up with that kind of answer for Nikki, it actually is something I put a lot of thought into. My parents told me my uncle was gay when I was about 13. He is my standard for what it means to be gay. Very normal in most respects, but with some definite stereotype aspects. He loves to shop, is always imaculately groomed, and is a TV producer!! He's and executive producer for Larry King Live. It's great that I had him as an example as it gives me a more nutral perspective on the issue. He is a great person (not at all feminine acting, BTW).

Hello ladies! This is my first Coffee Break since joining the group. Yea! I made chat twice now and hope to make it tonight. 7 p.m. for me may be hard. Just getting done with dinner and all the clean up associated with that. Y'all know how it is. But I'll try my best to be there. I have fun in chat with you ladies.

Not much planned here. I'm paying bills as it is pay day. I still need to make the bed and maybe go so far as to put make-up on today. We'll see how ambitious I get.... I also have some laundry to finish up. And my toddler is upstairs by himself (I'm in the basement) doing who knows what, but I'm sure it involves more clean up work for me!!! Better check on him.

Oh, and I want to goof off and play Boggle on line! :o)

Have a great day ladies and hope to see you tonight at chat!
