First of all I would like to welcome you to HubPages. You see the wickets are pretty fast on HubPages just like it is in Perth. That is one of the reasons you could not win on your first attempt.
However, the main reason for not winning is ... the loot is mine and will always be mine! (my loot!)
Hi Beth! Good to hear from you! Yes, I have bronchitis but I'm still kicking! Working on the holiday program at school. It's going to be the best one yet! Hope you're doing well! Miss ya!
Klara!! Take care of yourself!!! I don't like that you have bronchitis -- that means you have not been feeling well for a while. I am positive that your holiday program is going to rock!!! Video it, if you can. I'd like to watch it!!
I'm tired these days -- too much on the plate with moving, sports, coaching and such. But, I'm enjoying most of it all the time.
Get some rest, and hope you feel better soon! Miss ya too! xo
Yes. I'm a bit pre-occupied -- trying to write my first hub in about 6 months!! lol I'm almost finished it. It's been a stretch to get back onto the computer. But, I'm glad that I did!
Friday was just so sad and disheartening - I just want to thank this group for making me laugh with the crazy competition. Thank you all and I'll invite you to my awards ceremony when they announce me as the winner. I'll even let you all pose in the picture.
Hey there!! Long time no see!! How's the summer over there? I'm freezing my little fingers off over here -- tons of snow, and it's still falling (er, blowing) down!!
How is my girl? I hope all is well with you and your family. I haven't been in the forum for some time and miss everyone. It is cold here Beth and I bet it is freezing in Canada. We need to hop a plane and go to Klara's house and get some warmth I hate this stuff...
I just want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy New Years!!
They are working me toooooo much, but I have to take it because they just told me they are cutting my hours to 25 per week after the new year, until march or april and then back to 40.
Linda says Hello and Happy Holidays to you and yours as well. mason is already for santa ;lol:
Oh yes. It's COLD outside!! We had a snow blizzard - over a foot of snow in less than 24 hours! and, it's still coming down -- lightly and with great grandeur!
They are working you to the bone!! I suppose that is to be expected since it is the Christmas holiday season. All I can say is that the Costco up here -- line ups to pay are a mile long!! I've avoided going since last week. I do not do well in long line ups, hence, my dislike for shopping. oh yeah, a girl who doesn't like shopping!!
Mason is soo cute! I think Mason needs to meet my guy - they could have some serious fun together!
Like you, I haven't had much time in the forums, or even writing. Life has taken a hold of me and is running me. I've decided I need to slow down in the New Year -- enjoy things that I love to do rather than feel like a mouse in a wheel. I am going to try and spend dedicated time per day to writing rather than doing other things. At least, that is the theory.
Wishing you, Linda and your family a blessed, safe and cheerful Christmas!
Has everyone missed me. I haven't been here for some time Miss everyone and My HubGirls, Denise, Klara, Beth, Cara and Sophie (MIA)
Too busy at work for the Christmas Holidays.... Just think I was one of the first here when this forum opened over 2 years ago and it is still going strong
Have a wonderful Christmas Holiday everyone and a Safe and Happy New Years
Mark!! Yes, I miss you!!! Like you, been busy with work, though it's a fabulous to be!!
Second major storm of the year -- freezing rain, ice pellets and then over a foot of snow by morning. I doubt that I'll be heading into work tomorrow morning. Not that I can complain about that!!
Mason is sooo cute!!! He's so festive!
Hope to connect with you soon -- if not before Christmas, then I wish you, Linda and your family a wonderful Christmas!! xox
I would like to wish all my HubPages friends and their families and their pets HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Wishing all of you Peace, Prosperity, Health, and Right Knowledge. (Let me know if you want more!) May your future be bright and may the stars align in favorable ways and may the search engines also favor each and every one of you!!!
Is this the internet equivalent of a chain letter? In any case, maybe we are all winners in that we connect through this forum in fellowship with other hubbers.
Hello Vellur and Merry Christmas. I traveled to Michigan to be with family this holiday and woke up yesterday to snow. I was as excited as a little girl! Enjoy your weekend.
I have set myself a little task (or it might be a massive task, if the 99th person has many hubs!) to read their hubs and leave a genuine comment on every hub i read of the 99th person to post!The prize is obviously that i will read all their hubs and leave a comment on every one of the hubs...
This has been perplexing me for a while - has something changed or have I just gone ga-ga?Being in a different time zone from most Hubbers, I rely on being able to click the "Your" button to catch up with who's posted on threads since I commented.Recently I've been missing comments...
