What's happening in your life? 11/06-08/08

[Brooke]

Wow, sounds like everyone is pretty busy!



Way to go on that essay, Kath! Good job!



Have fun and Happy Birthday, Kay!



Congrats to Lisa on moving to a house and also selling one! That is exciting but a lot of work, too.



We finally got that big snow storm last night. I live about 120 miles north of St. Louis and we got about 10-12 inches overnight. It's really beautiful. Most everything is pretty well shut down. At least we didn't lose power like a lot of St. Louis did. I live about 2 miles from work down a country road. I'm still amazed I made it. If not for hubby and a 4 x 4, I wouldn't have. What a dedicated employee I am! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"> But hey, it's payday and I do payroll! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

Wow, that's a LOT of snow! It's supposed to snow over here in West Lafayette, Indiana soon but right now it's mostly rain and sleet. UGH!

Great news about selling the house, Lisa!



Wow, Brooke, it's a long, long time since we had snow like that. Well done for your dedication getting to work! Even if we just get a sprinkling everything grinds to a halt here.



Rain and hail here, Nancy!

This way to happiness...</p>

Wow, I have to catch up a lot in this new thread.



Congratulation to everyone who posted his own accomplishment.



Brooke, your pictures are beautiful. Seems you don't live far away from the hometown of my aunt. As far as I know St. Louis is 6 hours drive away from St. Joseph. Probably we can meet up for an Eagles concert next year? <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)">



This is my little experience of the week:



Last night I went to a show of a German singer. He was very successful in the 80s in Germany. The venue was small, not more than 200 seats and we had free choice so we got front row and very very close to the stage. The show was fantastic. Somewhat old stuff and songs from the new album. For one song he came down from the stage, held the mic right in front of me and I had to sing ooooooooohh <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif ALT=":eek"> They told me later it was not bad. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)">



After the show we went in a restaurant opposite to the venue. An hour later the band came in and sat down at the table beside us. We got into conversation with them and it was really nice and funny. Had never expected that. So cool.



Imagine that happening with the Eagles, wouldn't that be fabulous?

All in all we had a great evening and enjoyed the personal atmosphere.

Brooke, I am so glad you started this thread too. Wow, that is a lot of snow--my daughters would be so jealous. If we ever get the tiniest bit of snow flurries here in Alabama, they close the schools and all the grocery stores immediately run out of milk & bread!



Kay, happy belated bday!

Lisa, congrats on selling your house too.



EF--don't we just wish we could all sit around and visit with the Eagles the way that band visited with you!



Not a whole lot going on with me at the moment. I am trying to work, get my Christmas decorations out, and help my best friend's husband throw her a surprise bday party this weekend. I have to lure her over to my house Saturday night while everyone arrives at her house, and I am a lousy liar so I am working on my poker face so she won't suspect anything!


</p>

[glenneaglesfan]

Michaela, your evening sounds amazing, fancy getting to chat with the band. They sound really cool.



Dana, good luck with the party! I laughed when I read about the effect of snow in Alabama - it's just the same here in Devon.



(I'm on my own tonight, hence many posts. Time to go and watch something - Christchurch, I think!)

[EasyFeeling]

Oh, can't wait for Christchurch. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D">



Julie, I went shopping today and looked for some magnets for you. I just wanted to know if you like them. If not, it's too late. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)">



These are the Brementown Musicians from a fairy-tale related to Bremen







A nostalgic one - Deutsche Lufthansa







The last one a lighthouse from the North Sea with a thermometer, thought that would be cool.

Good grief, thank you Michaela. How cool. My only visit to Bremen was in 1972 but I remember the statue of the musicians very fondly.



Great reading everyone's stories (congrats Kath) but I lead an extremely quiet life. We did go to the Billy Joel & Elton John concerts but now we're just waiting for Christmas. We are supposed to be decorating the house this weekend.



On a topical note my political party are having a leadership spill on Monday. I am hoping the new man if elected might have what it takes to rid this country of the incumbent (by which I mean George W's best mate, the Prime Minister). I have followed his career closely. I also hope that Peter Garrrett, the ex singer of Midnight Oil, might be promoted to the shadow cabinet. End of sermon.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/indifferent.gif ALT=":|">

I'm glad you like them. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D">

Michaela - I definitely would love to have a chat like that with the Eagles - that is, if I didn't become a tongue-tied mute and let my natural charm shine through. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)">



Not much happening with me either - I live the quiet life of an academic nerd! I am excited that the semester is almost over, even if I'm terribly behind on my dissertation. As in - 1 chapter done when 3 should be done! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":(">
