Board Host: Rose - mini-mug Sometimes the next challenging thing to having a large family, is being the friend or family of one. Whether you are the child of a large family, an aunt or uncle who has a small family, grandparents to 30, or just a friend of a mom of 11, this forum is for you. Share the unique challenges, questions, and fun of being LOK Friends & Family. We also welcome those who are generally supportive of large families, but may not personally know one...yet.	**Go to** Site Home Page Message Board Center Member Mini-Profiles Current Posts/Usersonline

Jury duty on the 15th. And looking into whether owning a house is in the cards for us this year. (I'm slightly cautiously optimistic, but even with the housing crisis, houses are expensive in this area.) (nt) - Imzadi 08/02/2008 05:39:50 (1) Owning a house isn't in the cards for us this year. I'm very disappointed. (nt) - Imzadi 08/05/2008 03:21:17 (1) Sorry to hear that. Maybe next year? When the bubble has fully popped I bet you could get something real nice. (nt) - onefornow 08/08/2008 03:06:04 (0) I will go to work for committee meetings two days next week, and Aug. 27th I leave for Colorado to meet my boyfriend's family. Between now and then I want to take a weekend camping trip and visit some extended family a few hours away, and go blueberry picking... basically, relaxation is on my schedule! I will pay for it in September when school starts up. :) (nt) - onefornow 08/02/2008 19:26:46 (0) I started my new job on Monday, which is going pretty well. Next week is church holiday club (~VBS), where I am co-leading the 3-5yo group - still have a bunch of resources to make. Then I'm back to work for 3 days, then off to a Christian Arts Festival ("Greenbelt"), where we're volunteering with the children's work this year (I'm in the 0-18mo group). That's Aug 21st-26th. And then back to work. So, nothing much! *wink* (nt) - mini-mug 08/05/2008 16:58:53 (1) Gee, you sound pretty busy to me! I'm glad the new job is going well.

(nt) - mini-mug 08/05/2008 16:49:30 (4) I'm assuming "lie-in" means sleeping in, which is what I prefer to do. (nt) - Imzadi 08/06/2008 03:38:06 (0) (yeah, lie-in means sleeping longer in the morning/not having to get up as early) (nt) - mini-mug 08/06/2008 18:03:01 (0) Definitely a lie-in. I am very much not a morning person! (nt) - mini-mug 08/06/2008 18:03:54 (0) Early night. (Like 8 p.m. You'd think I were 82 rather than 28...) (nt) - onefornow 08/08/2008 03:12:01 (0) Appetizer/Starter or Dessert? (nt) - mini-mug 08/05/2008 16:49:30 (3) Appetizer. I never seem to leave room for dessert. (nt) - Imzadi 08/06/2008 03:48:12 (0) Tough. Appetizer, unless the dessert is the Cheesecake Factory's Godiva thingy! (nt) - onefornow 08/08/2008 03:13:17 (0) Starter (appetizer).

(nt) - mini-mug 08/05/2008 16:49:30 (3) Swimming, cuz then it doesn't matter if you sweat! (I hate sweating.)(The icon is swimming done badly. :D) (nt) - Imzadi 08/06/2008 03:50:15 (0) Running. Because it's more social and the view changes. I was a swimmer for half my life... couldn't stare at that black line one more day! (nt) - onefornow 08/08/2008 03:15:50 (0) Swimming. I'm no good at running at all. In fact, I'm not much good at swimming either, but I think it's more fun! (nt) - mini-mug 08/08/2008 18:58:32 (0) Skirt or Trousers/Pants? (nt) - mini-mug 08/05/2008 16:49:30 (3) Pants. (I need to buy more for use at work.) (nt) - Imzadi 08/06/2008 03:54:01 (0) Skirts. I feel like I look best in them. (nt) - onefornow 08/08/2008 03:17:02 (0) Trousers/jeans. I tend to get tangled in skirts and/or find I can't do stuff. I do now own some skirts though and I do occasionally wear them too! (nt) - mini-mug 08/08/2008 19:00:34 (0) Hair tied-back or Hair loose? (nt) - mini-mug 08/05/2008 16:49:30 (3) Pulled back. I usually only wear my hair loose when it's short. (nt) - Imzadi 08/06/2008 03:55:22 (0) Loose! (nt) - onefornow 08/08/2008 03:17:43 (0) Tied-back. I hate my hair down - it gets in the way.

(nt) - mini-mug 08/05/2008 16:49:30 (3) Definitely hotel. Nice soft bed, someone else cleans up the room, shower... (nt) - Imzadi 08/06/2008 03:57:33 (0) Definitely the week of camping! I LOVE CAMPING! Just the thought of a campfire makes me smile. (nt) - onefornow 08/08/2008 03:19:43 (0) That's tough, but I think it would have to be the hotel. (nt) - mini-mug 08/08/2008 19:09:30 (0) 9. Holiday Club starts tomorrow (m) - mini-mug 08/10/2008 19:11:36 (1) So two days in, how's it going? - onefornow 08/12/2008 13:26:01 (1) I thought I'd replied to this... (m) - mini-mug 08/13/2008 22:08:00 (1) Hope you're enjoying a much more restful week now! (nt) - onefornow 08/21/2008 02:43:03 (0) 10. I actually did a project last night! - onefornow 08/12/2008 13:31:57 (1) My mom has decided I am her personal seamstress... - Imzadi 08/13/2008 05:42:50 (1) Oh, wow! Would you mind sharing a link to her store? I love looking at aprons! (nt) - onefornow 08/13/2008 17:31:46 (1) Well, she normally doesn't sell aprons... - Imzadi 08/14/2008 04:29:44 (1) Look at that! Cool. So, if you are her personal seamstress... does that mean you sew dresses like that? Seriously impressive! I really love the dresses and blouses. I think aprons will fit nicely on the site. (nt) - onefornow 08/14/2008 12:38:16 (0) 11. Well, jury duty has turned into being on a trial... - Imzadi 08/19/2008 04:56:06 (1) I'm glad it's interesting, at least! - onefornow 08/21/2008 02:41:57 (1) We finished up the case this morning (he did it). Being a part of the whole process was fascinating! The public school kids start within the next few days, though some have started all ready. The kids at the private school I work at start the day after Labor Day. (nt) - Imzadi 08/21/2008 23:27:41 (0) 12. Off on holiday until Tuesday... - mini-mug 08/21/2008 09:07:16 (1) Wow, that sounds really neat! My school sends all the teachers and staff to a convention every November where we attend lectures and workshops and such. No kids though - yours sounds fun! (nt) - Imzadi 08/21/2008 23:30:13 (0) 13.
