Monkey Musings Daily Open Discussion #13 12/16/08 -02/02/09

[Shell]

January 5th, we have signed a contract for the house rebuild and it was a rough ride (1 year and 3 months). We found a great (new)builder who has a wonderful decorator/designer working for/with him and preparation of the lot began today. He is within our budget and then some. I am happy and at peace for the first time in a long while.
I hope to post pictures at some point, to share my happiness with you all.

Thanks to all the monkeys, sweet angel Peaches included, who were here for me during this time.

Anna, an adorable puppy with an adorable name. Thanks for showing us.

I forgot to add this. As some of you recall, I lost all family photos I had from my immediate family and my parents and all the photos they had (dating back to 1800's). I was depending on my cousin to get some of our family photos. Well guess what. She had sold her big house and bought a smaller one and was gutting it and completely redoing. She stored her antiques, photos, clothing for the cold season, etc while her house was being redone. Ike came through and took out their storage unit. Hundreds of units and only 6 were destroyed. Destroyed meaning, nothing was there---nothing.

My point in telling this is not for sympathy or anything else. My point is, do those things you think about right now. Do not procrastinate. Count your blessings.

Bottom line is, I feel blessed---even if a round about way.

Hi this is my first time in here....

I have a question...has there ever been a Monkey Reunion/get together ?
I have spoken with so many WONDERFUL people monkeys in here that I feel like I've known forever and I would LOVE to put faces with names. 
Even give some, some pink banana hugs.

Shell, I don't know the back story on the loss of your home, but you mentioned Hurricane Ike ... not asking you in particular where you live, but I'm in Southeast Texas, the Golden Triangle area... are you in this area as well ?   Was wondering if you lost your home during one of our hurricanes of the past few years.

I am so fricking excited tonight!! I got my dream job!! I am now the manager at a super duper upper class dog kennel complete with veterinary services! This place hasn't opened yet so I get to start from scratch with all the forms, files and decisions!! The owner called tonight and offered me the position. It was miraculous too b/c I hadn't heard from her since November. I went on another interview today and as I pulled up to the bldg I said a prayer. Thank you Lord for this opportunity but I really want the kennel job. Not more than one minute later, I get a v/m from Michelle asking me to call her. I waited till I got home and called, and she offered!! I am just walking on air right now!! This place will have luxury suites, warm water therapy pools, an outdoor pool in the shape of a milkbone with spitting fountains for the dogs to play in. They will also have a puppy program that will potty train your puppy while you are at work!!! I'm so impressed. This will encompass all my skills. Like I have been training my whole career for this place!! I even get to deal with OSHA and ADA!!

OK, that's it, just excited!!! Thanks for listening!!!

Congratualtions Boo!

Maybe you could make a booking/reservation for Mr. and Mrs. Tamikosmom for two weeks next summer.

 

Have you scaped your Christmas tree off the ceiling yet?

 

Hey ... how is your father doing?  IIRC ... his surgery was scheduled for January.

Congratulations on your new job Boo !

[numbersgirl]

Wow Boo....that's great news!  I'm really excited for you; that company is lucky to have you.   

[BTgirl]

Congrats, Boo! I'm so happy for you!! 

[nicnic]

Nic,Those are really nice photos. 

thank you! I just saw this..I'm slackin on my reading here!
It was hard work, but I loved every minute of it. except that one day, when I smashed my finger. also, there was a couple of days my knees had the worst carpet burn ever, but other than that..pure bliss! I've already drawn out the sketches for this year's Dickens show. The stage will have the toyshop, but will have victorian village buildings behind it, to make it look like a real street out of a dicken's novel. and the toyshop will be more 3-d. it will be like looking through a big window into the interior of it..
gosh I'm ranting! LOL. I'll post a pic of it.

p.s. Cbb and bearly- thank you! I'm glad you like the pics!
and I know this is totally beyond LATE, but CBB, your Christmas tree is absolutely gorgeous!
