I sort of remember that, Girly. Never really dwelt upon it, though. Not really worth it, ya know?

Yep. Because of that, the name stuck with me.

If we had our old color code for threads, I believe this would constitute a technicolor meltdown.

I have that list saved somewhere. Where? God only knows!

Good morning. Yes, it's actually morning for me, regardless of the time stamp.

I've apparently been overly active. What does "rest" mean, anyway?

Gonna eat breakfast and watch TV and feel like a sloth.

Beautiful. Where are we?

Posted: 7/13/09 at 12:42pm

Somewhere over the rainbow...

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 7/13/09 at 12:43pm

LOL!! I just found the one I saved. As far as I can tell, that's the one I've got, too.

Oh sh*t.

I haven't been bitchy on this board in a while....kinda felt good.

[shira467]

Posted: 7/13/09 at 1:02pm

I have a LOT of aggression to get out. Point me to a thread.

[D2]

Posted: 7/13/09 at 1:06pm

YOU need to rest.

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 7/13/09 at 1:15pm

OK, so far I'm seeing a magenta-infused crimson with overtones of unmellow yellow.

[shira467]

Posted: 7/13/09 at 1:25pm

I'm in bed. Isn't that enough?

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 7/13/09 at 1:30pm

I think you're right, Moony. I hope she/he comes back!

I picked up this blueberry/lemon pie when I went to the nursery for replacement flowers over the weekend. I haven't had any, but this one girl is practically going orgasmic over it!

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 7/13/09 at 1:36pm

You haven't had any yet? Woman, that would not have gotten to the office in one piece if I had picked it up.

[D2]

Posted: 7/13/09 at 1:38pm

Would it have gotten to the office at all, Moony?

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 7/13/09 at 1:40pm

Well, no, it wouldn't have even made it home depending on the number of stoplights but I was being....discreet.

NAN: thread locked My contribution to BWW!

Crappy Monday indeed, too much this weekend and I am dragging today. The kids were so crabby this morning, it was funny. C15 made crying kitty noises when I woke her!

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 7/13/09 at 2:41pm

Why are you waking the poor thing. It's summer vacation!

Nan was a great choice! I've seen a few threads that needed to be nanned.

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 7/13/09 at 3:17pm

BWG - Driver's Education classes! I said to my law partner, there are milestones that make you feel old and scare the crap out of you - this is one!

I believe that on the infamous "melt down" night, I had Indian food, but I do not recall the context of how Nan became a color!

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 7/13/09 at 3:36pm

OH! I would've had no trouble getting up for driving lessons. Then I would've just come home and gone back to sleep.

I'm totally missing out on the meltdown.

ETA: just read the thread. Man I miss the days when we had one once a week.
