Good morning!.http://s21.photobucket.com/albums/b300/scottgregory_00/th_Woo_Hoo.gif It's up and at 'em at 6:30 a.m. :D

[Jezebel]

Bah! You were posting here at 7:28! (EST that is :p )

Good morning :) I've dragged myself out of bed at the crack of dawn....10:00 :D

[oceanflower]

I got up at 5 AM as I do ever day...but I'm never dancing a jig at that hour, I can assure you! :o

[ArthurDent]

After a rather sleepless night, I made it out of bed (couch) at 9:40 ET...

I am a VERY slow riser....

Oh, that's right, Good morning :)

[Bliss]

I had about 4 hours of sleep last night. I was not doing a jig at 4:30 AM :o . I do not reach that point until about 10:00 am after large amounts of caffine.

It must have been a bucket of caffeine to even dance a jig at all after 4 hours sleep!

[musi]

good morning, LF! i wish i got up 2,5 hours ago to have some time to do things around the house (my Mom and Grandmom are coming back tomorrow), but of course i slept in :( anyway, good morning - it is sunny outside, so what else can a lovely Spring day bring us? :)

that was very strange to read since you posted it when it was 11:30 at night here :D

[Star_Anise]

I was in bed until just before midday - but I didn't sleep till after 5am! I've been on the caffeine (Thank god for dark chocolate!) and it's off for work at 6pm.

[oceanflower]

I "slept in" until 6 AM, now that Chrisitina is getting herself up with her alarm clock. I had insomnia last night...arthritis acting up..so the minute the Twins are off to school, I'm off to bed for a nap!

[Jezebel]

Woke up about an hour ago, so that would have been 7:15 on my clock :) Good morning Lit forums!

[Maduro_Scotty]

7:00 a.m. here-Looks to be a good day.http://s21.photobucket.com/albums/b300/scottgregory_00/th_Cofee.jpg

[oceanflower]

8:18 AM - feeling very sleepy and headachey. Must be the weather...grey and getting ready to rain all day. But, hey, it's Friday at last! http://www.coolsmileys.net/happy/banana.gif

[Star_Anise]

I was up at midday :O Way too cold today...

[musi]

8:56!! ah, what am i doing up so early on a Saturday morning??? :o but the sun is shining outside! yay! seems it is going to be a very good day! :D :good: good morning, everyone!

[oceanflower]

9:55 Saturday morning....still grey and wet. I'll need my umbrella when I leave to run my errands.

[Bliss]

Slept for about an hour or so, I have about 4 more hours before returning to work(unless I get called in early). It is going to be a long day, busy day. Must make some coffee.

[skye]

Woke up 15 minutes ago. It's Sunday, the weather looks nice.

[musi]

too early to be at work.. to sleepy to feel energized.. need tea!

[Jezebel]

Woke up at 9. It's Monday *ugh* and raining bleh :( Good morning Lit forums

[oceanflower]

Good morning all! It's Tuesday a 7:50. The sun is shining and the weathrman promises a warm day, but all I want to do is go back to bed! Insomnia last night, so I'm feeling like a zombie.

http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/VelvetMorning/th_zombieemoticon.gif

[Maduro_Scotty]

LOL-I love the graphic ocean!. I've felt like that more than a few times myself. 6:55 a.m. here, and I have a STUPID, stupid, stupid, meeting to go to this morning. It's where my boss reads a memo to us, because, you know, we couldn't possibly be smart enough to read the stupid thing ourselves and just be done with it. :rolleyes: Oh well. Good morning all. :D

[oceanflower]

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/VelvetMorning/GoodMorning2.gif

9 am and the last of the kids are off to school. It's a beutiful, sunny day, 53 degrees F. (11-12 C.). It's supposed to reach 68 F. (20 C.) this afternoon. Perfect!

[Maduro_Scotty]

Neat image there ocean. 8:46 here and I'm ready for bed again. But my kids will do their best to make sure that doesn't happen. :p :good:

[musi]

6:21, i am having a very big cup of tea, chocolate and thinking, who is such a terrible person, who likes waking up early and who has organized the seminar's bus leaving at 7:30.. but the following 2 days are supposed to be very interesting, fun-filled and relaxing, so what can a simple human being like me want more.. *falls asleep over the keyboard*

Good Morning, LF!!! :)

[oceanflower]

7:15 AM - One daughter off to school, two sons to go. Another long night with no sleep...little Wiiliam kept waking up, then going back to sleep, then the dog wanted to go out at 2 AM!!! AAAGGGGHHHH!!
Which is why I feel like this:

http://www.dvd-forum.at/special/zombie/bilder/notld68_01.jpg

Nevertheless...Good Morning. LF ;)

[TariNumenesse]

12:34pm - got up about an hour ago after an eighteenth birthday party last night. Collapsed into bed at 1:30. Boat cruise was great though - the ocean is beautiful on a misty night with the city lights in the background!
Good morning! (sort of!)

[musi]

12:47 pm - the sun is shining, though it is about 15C, but the day feels great.. who said i have to study for a very important exam? :) i feel like going for a walk..

[Star_Anise]

What a fantastic sounding 18th, Tari! Better than any I've ever been to.

I was supposed to be up at 9 (I know, I'm lazy) to go do the grocery shopping, but I was left to sleep until ten...that was nice.

[musi]

oh, my morning began far too early to be pleasant.. or, to be exact, my sleep began far too late.. :( now i am feeling sleepy, my head is aching and i am frustrated, because i still do not know the result of this stupid toture i went through in the morning.. nevertheless, life goes on, so good morning!

[Jezebel]

Well, I got about six and a half hours of sleep last night, which is about a half an hour more than usual and yet I feel dead tired. It's cloudy outside and a cold 49* (f). It is supposed to go up to a *high* of 60* brrrr too cold for May. Good Morning Lit Forums!

[oceanflower]

Good morning folks! It's grey, but the weatherman promises temps. in the 70s, so I won't complain. And I don't have to go out today on any errands...maybe I'll even have time to read! :)

[musi]

i guess spring is almost here! it is about +20C, sun is shining, i have a headache, but i will be fine! :)
usually by this time the chestnuts are blooming - aah, you should see it here! we have a valley of them and when they blossom, it is soooo beautiful! anyway, i am glad that spring is finally here! i cannot decide though - should i stay at home for the weekend and enjoy some sun in the garden or go to Riga and visit an aquapark there, as well as enjoy a nice walk on the beach.. *thinking*

[oceanflower]

Good morning, LF. *yaaaawn* Sunny and warm at 7:27 AM...temps supposed to reach 80 (27C.) today. I'm feeling very tired this morning...a very bad arthritis flare-up kept me up all night and is making it difficult to type. I'm going to try and go back to bed after the Twins leave for school and William lies down for his nap. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/VelvetMorning/goingtobedsmiley.gif

[Maduro_Scotty]

Good lord.....twenty 'til 8. I have to go to work again? :bad: :rolleyes:

[angelhair]

It should still be morning where you are Liz so for all stateside members ( an dothers on a similar time scale ) Good Morning!! :D

[musi]

10:21 am.. though i had the strangest dream and have a sore throat, i am now enjoying a perfectly fresh strudel with a cup of tea.. aah.. good morning, everyone! :D

[angelhair]

08:25 and a wondeful good morning to you all :) Musi have you tried gargling with an infusion of sage? words absolute wonders for a sore throat! :)
Marc is vacuuming, he's put the washer on - and mangaed to fill it with clothes first too! :D he's washed the cat's bowls up and will be mowing the lawns later - whilst I post here! :D I think that's right isn't it ladies? :D

( Actually I have been making sure the ants don't come back again in Cate's room and the bathroom, updating my own forum and polishing as wel as hanging out more washing so it's not so one sided really :) )

[Maduro_Scotty]

6:25 and I'm wide awake, then again, that's due to getting up an hour earlier and jogging. Getting in shape is hell. ;) :D

[Lavender Heart]

Good Morning Everyone! It's 8:50am here and raining! Yuk! And while I wish I could spend the rest of the morning chatting with you all...I gotta jump in the shower and get ready for work... :(

Have a wonderful day! See ya tonight.

Evelyn

[Jezebel]

Good morning everyone :) It's 10:25 and I'm off to take my com theory final in a few hours :( Talk to you all later

[musi]

Good morning everyone :) It's 10:25 and I'm off to take my com theory final in a few hours :( Talk to you all later

good luck, Jezebel!!!

[Jezebel]

Thanks :) I'll need it. We're being tested on 24 chapters and a 20 page article- tenof those chapters she dumped on us a week before the final and we had to teach ourselves :rolleyes:

[musi]

it is 10:21 in the morning, the sun is shining brightly, but it is really cold - about 15C.. i wish i could stay at home and sleep after our party this weekend, but i am here at work, trying to focus on what i am doing! good morning, everyone!!! :D

*go gets a cup of tea*

[Winifred]

It is 7:45 am and cloudy, about 70 F, very nice, and I am content with my yard. We were going to go canoeing yesterday, but we are so behind the yardwork from a combo of colds and allergies(pollen), that I just couldn't do it. Hence, my soreness this morning, but sidewalks are clean and edged, branches are trimmed, etc. The Hub really outdid himself, and my son helped a lot, too! We opted for a useful Mothers Day this year. It was an outstandingly beautiful day, being outdoors was a joy!

Sidenot: I really do not like being allergic, had no allergies at all when I was younger...*small grumble*.

[The Careful Collector]

Good morning everyone. It is 8 am, cold, dark and dreary. I suppose I'll have to make my own sunshine today. :)

[oceanflower]

8:11 AM - a rainy, dreary Monday morning, and I'm fighting a migraine. Migraine's run in the family...my daughter has stayed home from school with a bad one today, poor thing. I hate starting out the week like this, especially since yesterday was so nice.

[Bliss]

8:54 Am, sitting in a cold, dark office, trying to prepare myself for rounds.

[Lavender Heart]

Good Morning Everyone!

It's 9:00am and we are drowning here in good old Mass. It has been downpouring for the last week and there are floods all over the place. It is also cold and damp. I am getting ready to go visit a couple of clients. Had a dressy outfit all ready to go but am feeling like some comfortable dressy jeans instead. Today, I am going informal! :D

Have a great day!

[The Careful Collector]

Good morning all. It is a cool, damp, overcast morning that, even in the middle of this big city, smells of the faintest hint of earth.

[Winifred]

7:45 am Drinking coffee, pretty morning, but it's going to be 95F today. I don't care, headed north!

[Maduro_Scotty]

There should be a law against your own children waking you up at 8:00 a.m. on a saturday. ;) http://s21.photobucket.com/albums/b300/scottgregory_00/th_Cofee.jpg

This one is perfect Maduro Scotty! Replace the paper with a computer and you've got me, good morning everyone!

[oceanflower]

Good morning my arse! http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/VelvetMorning/th_alaarmsmiley.gif

[The Careful Collector]

It is amazing what a good night's sleep can do. I went to bed at 9:30pm, got up at 6am and can truly say "What a lovely mornin'. . .GooOOD Mornin', Good MORnin. . ." :)

[Star_Anise]

Well, I'm never at litforums in the morning when I get up, but it is currently 1:24am, so good morning litforums! It's not too cold, but the weather's been a little warmer lately. I should still make it to bed soon!

[Rachel]

I had to be up at four, but that is not as bad as it used to be. I made the last dinner for a child that got off work at eleven pm. totally exhausted and he had to keep up his strength(car injury), then I had to be up a couple of hours later around 3am to get the other child off. I fimly believe in showing love and making a nice meal and being there with them, life is short and uncertain and sometimes people don't come back, that much I have learned. So I was totally tired.
The baby has sleep problems and so it is one long long long night and up early.
But you adjust. you just must and there are so many good things to do and feel, it works out somehow.

Don't forget to take care of yourself a litle bit, too, Rachel. Sometimes the caregiver need a bit of care, too. (I know...I have 5 children of my own. ;)) :)

[musi]

it is 8:43 am and i have been up since 6am.. yes, shopping for tomorrow's party is a big and difficult thing. besides, all the shops have raised the prices - everything is closed tomorrow, so nobody will have a chance to buy food :( anyway, i've bought almost all things for tomorrow and i have a nice mango on my desk at work, so maybe this morning won't be so bad after all. good morning!

[Winifred]

I have dropped my son off at his week long camp across town, and am back to do some much needed housework for a few hours. Zoomed around the forum to see what's new - blp's posted clean, spare minimalist paintings are very soothing compared to my family room just now. Thanks to Oceanflower for her understanding posts today. I must finish my coffee and get busy. SIGH. Bring on the vacuum.

[Rachel]

you are right Ocean. As a matter of fact the children have planned something for me for me in Sept, it is my birthday and they are very inventive. So I will take some good books and relax. I hope!

Hope all the preparations are going well, musi! And I am so seduced by the sound of that mango...;)

[Rachel]

well then here, have one of my two. I am a mango addict, and watermelon and grapes. Of course a half hour later I am a bathroom addict!

HAHAHAHAHAHA.
When I was women's editor, I would be so exhausted mentally and physically after the paper was put to bed and the next day's stories already started that when I came home I would draw a hot bath and then put something to eat, a pot of tea and all that and a great book on a tray to have while I soaked away the day's cares.
But one day while reading the Nicholas/Alexandra letters and diaries I suddenly, rather instantly actually fell asleep. When I awoke the water and tea were very cold, my skin was totally 'pruned' and the paperback was floating sadly in the once bubbly bath water. Even though I dried it out and weighted it down during the effort my poor book was forever about eight inches thick!
So now it is a quick shower and if I get any time to read it is on the sofa where nothing much can happen except that Hasia will cover my head with yellow hasty notes and her sparkling stick ons.

I'm up for a bit..had some weird dreams that woke me up early. I'm going back to bed, though...I'm really tired. Later today I've got to get tot the store to get New Year's Eve supplies for the little party Mads and he kids and I will be having. :)

I've been having some strange dreams lately too, Liz, maybe it's an alignment of the stars or something?

Technically it's morning here (12:49am), but I'll be heading to bed soon enough. I was up to welcome my friend's 21st birthday at midnight (born on New Year's Eve, biggest party of the year, what luck!)

Good luck with the supply shopping!

[oceanflower]

Good luck with the supply shopping!

Thanks, Star. It was successful, even though William wanted every noisemaker on the shelves, then spotted a Thomas the Tank Engine balloon that he jsut had to have...but they were sold out of that one! :o Luckily he was a good sport and chose a Car balloon from the movie Cars. We're all set for the party except for the food items which I get BY MYSELF tonight or tomorow morning. :)

[Star_Anise]

Well, time to wish everyone a good morning from my corner of the world. It's 10:46am, so I've been at work just over two hours, and so far it's been dull, as usual. Mornings don't treat me well. I hope everyone else is having a more stimulating day!

good morning, Star! well, due to time difference i think you are finishing work already, so the dull day is almost over! yay! :D
my morning is ok - it is more or less warm and we are going to plant some flowers into bigger pots at work (hehe, and i am not working as a gardener, very far from it ;) ). i am a bit hungry, though..:)

[angelhair]

Good Morning Musi :)

The sun is shining here - well trying to anyway and the wind has died down at last. It was like trying to sleep in a wind tunnel last night with all the sheeting and scaffolding up next door ( I shall try to post a pic later ) Every part of the scaffolding rattles, wooden struts falter and clatter to the ground, flapping sheets of tarpaulin clatter against the walls as the metal eyeletts chink against the scaffolding.
How the hell anyone is meant to sleep is beyond me. I could wring their necks! eek.....

[oceanflower]

I still haven't gotten to bed yet! I'm fifteen hours behind Star, 6-7 hours behinf Musi, and 5 hours behind Jakki. I reallyshould be in bed, but I went clothes shopping with my Micahel and Stephen, and b the end of the evening was sitting on the dummy displays I was in so much pain!

(See what a nice little spot is open at the base of these dummies :p )

http://galenfrysinger.us/us/chicago024.jpg


I'm still hurting too much to sleep. The wind is howling outside and at times it sounds like a truck is roaring past. Winds were 40 miles an hour all day.

[musi]

good morning, forum members!

it is 9:33 am and an almost sunny morning with +3C outside.
it is not spring yet, but if you take a deep breath, i am sure you'll feel warmth and be sure that the spring is on the way to see you.
it is a holiday tomorrow, so don't forget to buy flowers for all women you'd want to congratulate.

and, by all means, have a great day!

I know honey :( Trust me I DO know :( Weather is the same here too. Wet windy - very! and cold. No wonder we hurt so much (((((((((Hugs )))))))))))

Good Morning everyone!

Wishing you all a much brighter and cheerier day! May the sun shine down on you all and luck follow in everything you do. ( Sounds cheesy, but it's actually meant :) )

[Star_Anise]

Good morning, forum. It's 10:21am on a cloudy Autumn day, I have a cup of tea and a two hour sleep deficit. Hopefully they can cancel each other out:)

[oceanflower]

Good morning Star dear. You're just starting what for me is tomorrow. I am getting ready to make dinner for what to you is yesterday. :o

Yes, timezones, what crazy things. In travelling to England, I will lose a day, when I return, I get it back! It seems rather irresponsible to lose and gain time in such a fashion.

I hope yesterday's dinner was good...is good...will be good...

[angelhair]

Morning everyone :)

Another day, same old story :rolleyes: for me anyway ;)
Hope your day is as good as it's possible for any one day to be :)

[musi]

a bit late for a "Good Morning".. :D

however, i'd still wish everyone a very good day. today is special ;)

[marcyboy]

Good evening, hope everyone's day has been good :)

I'm on the nice shift this week, I get home while it's still light :)

[Star_Anise]

Time: 10:42am
Weather: clear and mild
Sleep: -2 hours
Friday. Hope everyone else is looking forward to the weekend:)

[musi]

Good morning!
it is a dull grey morning here, 8:41 am.
the skating rink i see outside my window (open rink) is slowly melting and filling up with water.
weather forecast: snow and rain :bad:

wishing everyone a good day - it is Friday, isn't it? :D

[angelhair]

Good Morning to you one and all :)

The sun is shining, the owrld seems peaceful here at the moment and birds are trying to sing!
I'll pop the kettle shall I? who would like what to drink?

[Stargazer]

Morning Jakki, Decaff coffe with lots of warm milk please.

I think we shall have sun too. A blackbird is sitting on a tree outside my window and chirping happily.

[Star_Anise]

10:15 am, time for my check in. It's overcast, windy, cool, but I don't know if rain is on the way.

My usual allergy to Mondays persists.

[marcyboy]

Good morning.....what a fine sunny morning it is too :)

[musi]

it is Monday, 12th of March, a nice foggy morning. luckily, it is warm enough to wear nice jeans breeches :D :good:
spring is in my blood already and we are having another party at work today ;)
it seems like a nice day today, even though it is Monday. i guess it is Spring in me and i am loving it :)

[skye]

8.57 am, good morning, still sleepy. :)

[angelhair]

A warm and sunny good morning to you all! Spring is on it's way, the sun is shining and a little tiny bit of warmth can at last be felt. The spring flowers are blooming and trying so hard to make us smile and the world is full of promise.

Eenjoy your day! :)

[Stargazer]

Digging and weeding today in the watery sunshine. Hope you feel as good as I do now the spring is here.

[Star_Anise]

Stop taunting me people, with your talk of spring!

At least today is clear, probably warm (I'll find out when I go for a walk at lunch). With the amount of rain we've had in the past few weeks, it's almost like a second spring...everything is very green, which is incredible to see after so long. The grass in the backyard has grown almost as tall as me!

Wonder if the lawnmower still works...?

[musi]

good morning, folks!
a sunny warm morning here! early sunrise makes me get up easier at 6 am to go to work. i should defintely move to a country with more sunny days in a year :)
beside that, we are expecting a nice day today with lots of work and personal research to do and since sun gives me strength to fight the bad guys, i am completely ready to face my day.

[angelhair]

Hey-Ho! this warm thing in the sky is glaring at me again this morning! :D Hope it does for you too! busy day ahead of me again :rolleyes:

[marcyboy]

The sun is blinding this morning....I'm in a summery mood :)

[Stargazer]

Morning. Another sunny day here and I'm planning on more gardening today as well as a trip to the gym.

[Star_Anise]

9:09 am, another clear sunny day, with me inside for most of it. Good morning lit forums!

[musi]

good morning! a cloudy cold morning with 0 C doesn't stop us from feeling great. have fun today, everyone!

[musi]

10:27 am - a slow dull Monday morning. "Monday" is an enough excuse to take things slowly, so have a peaceful and calm day, everyone! :)

[Star_Anise]

9:22 am. Good morning litforum. It's just another day in the office, and has already left me wondering how long it takes to convert a functional individual to a passive aggressive office sloth.

I need caffeine.

[angelhair]

Good Morning Star :) *Coffee on it's way* seems strange saying good morning as I ponder going to bed LOL...

[Star_Anise]

Good Morning Star :) *Coffee on it's way* seems strange saying good morning as I ponder going to bed LOL...

Thanks Jakki. I've managed a cup of tea but my mug is still being held ransom by the new guy. Lunchtime soon enough though. I'd rather be heading off to bed by now...so sweet dreams!:)

[musi]

left me wondering how long it takes to convert a functional individual to a passive aggressive office sloth.



:D:good:

i know what you mean.. what saves me, are lots of ideas of what else i can find on the internet. my imagination just runs wild most of the time i have to be stuck in one place - like a chair behind a desk.

good morning, everyone! a shorter day due to a seminar, which brings a lot of joy :) as for other things, i wish i drank less champagne at a birthday party last night ;) hope everyone's day turns out as good as it can be!

[angelhair]

Morning Musi :)

enjoy the Seminar and what a great way to start the first day of Spring - with an early day! yay!

We have two inches of snow here, it's snowing at the moment and freeeeezing cold, but the Daffodils are poking their heads through and showing signs of wonderful gayety that we all know and love as spring. :)

[Star_Anise]

It's my daily check in, today at 9:23am. So far the weather has been warm but cloudy, so I'm wondering if we're due some rain. My mug is still being held hostage, so I have had to resort to one of the functionally inadequate office mugs. I'll find out where that mug is, don't you worry.

[musi]

10:07 am, a cold cloudy Friday morning. the "Friday" part makes all other things unimportant. :) it is the last day of the working week, folks, and tonight we can relax :D have a great last day of the week!

[Star_Anise]

Late check in today - 11:30am. Bureaucracy is not my friend. Weather is cold and promising rain, and my cold has come back again. But thanks to daylight savings I managed plenty of sleep last night.

[oceanflower]

my cold has come back again. .

Care package time:

[musi]

Bureaucracy is not my friend.

hehe, tell me about it ;) :D

it is 08:08 am, oh, wait, 09:08 am, a sunny lovely morning. sun cures the fact that i had 1 hour less sleep and that it is Monday. the mood is up, the couples are holding hands in the streets, the nature is blooming, people are out of their apartments.. a lovely sunny spring. :D
GOOD MORNING, LF!

[Stargazer]

Wonderful.

It's that misty start that heralds a warm day. The sun is piercing the murk. The coffee is hot and strong and I'm feeling fit.

Morning forums.

[Star_Anise]

10:07am - my cold is finding its stride, but the weather's a bit warmer.

Good morning litforums, it's good to have you with me:)

[Stargazer]

Morning. We have thick fog today. Everyone is hppy though because Easter is round the corner and the sun will break through the clouds later on.

[vierdreieins]

Good morning! It's the earliest I've been awake in months and I've already gotten through a phone interview. :)

[Star_Anise]

10:07am - my cold is finding its stride, but the weather's a bit warmer.


And today is the reverse - colder weather, better cold:) 8:52am, good morning forum.

[Jeru]

Good morning! Good morning!
We've talked the whole night through,
Good morning, good morning to you!

Good morning! Good morning!
It's great to stay up late,
Good morning, good morning to you!

Juat saw that movie last week. :D

what surprised me in the song in the movie, that they are singing it at 1 am :o it is usually deep night sleep for me :D

good morning everyone! a lovely Wednesday morning. those of you suffering from midweek crisis - cheer up, the week is almost over, the hardest part is right behind us.
as for other things, spring seems to be in control in Northern Hemisphere, which is good for users in Europe and America, and likewise autumn is there for users from Southern Hemisphere, so to enjoy some sunlight, let's invite Southern-Hemispherians over for a cup of tea. :) hope your day brings you joy and smiles!

It already has, thanks to you guys. And the foggy, cold morning turned in to rather nice, warm day. I hope you're all getting the chance to enjoy some good weather yourselves:)

[marcyboy]

urgh! I don't like this getting early in the morning lark. I can't wait until my week off, shall be catching up on plenty of sleep.

Anyone for a latte? :)

[musi]

9:32 am, i feel a bit ill, but i can't skip work, since i need to skip it tomorrow due to a visit to the dentist. other than that, the weather is beautiful as ever, but it is still colder than in the country to the south, but i'll be going there tomorrow, so will enjoy some lovely sunshine and warmth.

good morning, folks! it is Thursday, the last but one day of the week. just a little effort and we are off to the weekend! :good:

[musi]

good Friday morning, folks! it is Friday, so there should be nothing more to care about :D :good:

[angelhair]

A croaky good - morning to us all :)

Blimey! it's like winter again out here. Dull as ditch water, drizzly, foggy and chillllllly *brrrrrrrrrr* Who's done what with spring then eh?

[oceanflower]

Who's done what with spring then eh?

We've got it! :p A cool, sunny morning, temps suposed to reach 60 (16 C) degrees. Planning on shopping for Easter baskets and goodies this afternoon. William now has two loves: Thomas the Tank Engine and dinosaurs! He wants a stuffed toy dinosaur for Easter instead of the customary bunny. I found a nice T-Rex at a little toy shop, as well as a bag of assorted plastic dinosarus, He should be very happy with the Easter Sunday.

[Star_Anise]

A light fog this morning, but otherwise I'm hoping for a fine day...that spills over into the long weekend. 9:01am and I'm about to go in search of the breakfast I missed.

Good morning litforums!

[musi]

good morning, folks! hope your morning did not bring any strange surprises unlike mine, so have a good day, everyone - it is the last day of the working week and we have 3 days off starting tomorrow! sounds like a good reason to relax a bit and smile :)

[Winifred]

Goiod morning from the opposite end of the morning. Think I'll go to bed, now....wanders off musing about what strange surprise greeted musi this morning...

[musi]

good morning, everyone! it is Monday and i sincerely wish it was public holiday here, which it unfortunately isn't :( nevertheless, have a great day! :good:

[Star_Anise]

Another cool start to what looks like it might be a fine day here. *yawn* Good morning litforums!

[musi]

8:58 am, good morning, everyone! it is a sunny, yet cold morning. have a good day, folks!

[Hyacinth Girl]

11:07am - Sunny with blue skies and fluffy clouds. The infernal wind has finally stopped. It's going to be a good day.

[Star_Anise]

9:46am on a smokey, hazy day. Makes me jittery. Think I'll make a cup of tea.

[musi]

good morning, everyone! a cold and windy morning is just outside the window. how about a cup of hot tea and a breakfast to start the day? :)

[musi]

good morning, everyone! well, just one more day left before the weekend comes - yay! the sun is shining, the hot tea is on the table, the movie tickets are purchased for tonight and it seems like it is going to be a very good day :D

[musi]

morning, folks! it is Friday, the last day of the working week. all seems quiet here. the tea is ready, good music on the radio and a shorter day today (new regulations last week :) ) don't work too much - relax, it is weekend tomorrow.

[oceanflower]

Good morning from my windy corner of the world! Nothing special planned today, but it's Firday an Mads doesn't have to work tonight, so I'm happy.:)

[Star_Anise]

Just another Monday morning, I hope it's a good one for everyone out there about to meet it.

[oceanflower]

Just another Monday morning, I hope it's a good one for everything out there about to meet it.

Godd morning dearest Star! I am always amazed that you are beginning you day when I am still in the evening of your yesterday. :)

[Star_Anise]

Godd morning dearest Star! I am always amazed that you are beginning you day when I am still in the evening of your yesterday. :)

And I always have to remind myself a good chunk of the world is still in yesterday! Right now I'd much rather Sunday evening to Monday morning...but then Friday evening is better than Friday morning:)

[angelhair]

Oooh Lord, where ARE my manners? Good Morning all :)

the sun is shining, a beautiful if slightly cooler day is out there waiting but I doubt I shall be seeing much of it today. A little TOO sore after yesterday's escapades but I can sit and appreciate it all the same.

Wishing you all a fabulous day, may it be a happy one and may all go the way you hope it will :)

[Star_Anise]

9:08am on a usual Thursday, chilly, overcast and I have a headache. The week is almost over, let's all be thankful for that. I hope everyone else's Thursday gets off to a better start.

[musi]

9:32 am, FRIDAY! all other things don't matter! it is weekend tomorrow,so have fun, everyone!

[marcyboy]

Good morning everyone :)

The sun is not shining this morning. Apparently we were supposed to be getting snow here today but I don't see any evidence of this.
Working today and tomorrow, at least I have Sunday off though.

[musi]

morning, folks! it is horribly cold and rainy here, but a hot cup of tea makes things look much better for me :) have a great day, everyone!

[musi]

morning, everyone! the sun is shining brightly and a nice sea cruise is waiting for me to feel the spring and the fresh air and wind :) have a great day!

[Winifred]

Good morning all! Up early to finish my final term paper, and post interesting article on potential earth-like planet.

Finally figured out how to write Russian on my computer. Does it work here?
здравствуйте все. доброе утро!!

oh, my heaven! yay, Winifred!!!!!! it works!!! can you send me a pm with it? :D :D :D :D

[Tiger Lily]

LOL! A good morning thread!

We should have a 'Good Night' thread as well! :D

[Jace]

Which, for the night owls, is often one and the same, isn't it? ;)

[musi]

hehe, a good night thread! :D :good:
yes, i think that could be arranged too :)

as for other things, good morning folks! my head is aching (yesterday's trip was a fun one ;) ), but i am wishing a good morning and a great day to all!

[Tiger Lily]

Maybe I should start the 'Good Night' thread as I am usually the last person on the forum! :p

[musi]

Maybe I should start the 'Good Night' thread as I am usually the last person on the forum! :p

i think it is rather difficult to state "the last" person. forum members come from all over the world, so those going to bed usually post together with those, who are already up :D but feel free to post a Good Night thread. i think it'll be a very good one :good:

good morning, LF members! we had a troubled night here, but all seems ok now that the sun is up. well, now you can see the damaged streets, but light makes things seem easier. have a great day!

[musi]

Good morning, everyone! My only happy thought for today is that there is a holiday tomorrow and I won't have to work.:) But I sincerely hope everyone's morning is a sunny and bright one!

[Star_Anise]

It's morning somewhere! Back home iy's just gone 1am, here at Hong Kong airport it's not even 11 yet. In between flights and wondering how I will talk myself in to getting on that plane again...:O

[margaine]

*refrains from shrieking excitedly*

You, my dear, must be very tired. It occured to me the other day just how long you're going to be awake if you don't get any sleep on the plane.

Hope Middlesex is going well.

hey star, if you can find any hildegard von bingen songs/soothing sounds, put some headfones on and close your eyes, when you wake up you'll be home, hopefully

[musi]

hey star, if you can find any hildegard von bingen songs/soothing sounds, put some headfones on and close your eyes, when you wake up you'll be home, hopefully

She'll have to sleep for 1,5 months to wake up home.. But at least she'll be on the ground sometime soon :)

[musi]

It is 10:23 am, a grey, cold morning on Friday. What lays ahead is the weekend full of rest and relaxation. Hopefully, exciting good things will happen, but till then - work awaits. Have a nice day, everyone!

[MadameCamille]

it's 11:15am, it's a crisp, sunny day, i have just finished my last final exam of the semester, and now it's time to begin saying my goodbyes and packing to return to the states!!

[musi]

Oh, congrats on the last exam, Camille. Hasn't time flown by too fast? It seemed like it was yesterday that you left home to study..

[MadameCamille]

thank you musi! :) it really does feel like i just got here... i can't believe 4 months have gone by so quickly...

[the silent x]

don't forget about the jet lag on your way over here, at 11:15 it was 6:15 est in america

[MadameCamille]

world traveler checking in: it's 3:30pm here at my home in the states and i'm enjoying the lovely sunny day. i'm over the jet lag, but my body-clock still hasn't reset itself to a normal sleep schedule so i'm up quite early every morning unable to go back to sleep. oh well, at least i get a jump on the day!!

Good morning, Madame Camille!

It is a wet and cold morning here, but it is Friday and I seriously couldn't care less about the weather. :D :good:

[MadameCamille]

Good morning everyone!! It's 10:07am here and the sun is already shining bright. it's a little bit cooler than i would like it to be outside, but oh well.

[musi]

Good morning, dear LF members! It is a lovely morning here in Northern Hemisphere. Sun is shining, trees are blooming, birds are singing.. What can be more perfect? :D

[musi]

Good morning LF! Sleep deprivation is almost killing me, but I am thinking of getting some sleep today after work, so at the moment am enjoying a nice sunny morning filled with lots of tea to keep my eyes open :)

[Star_Anise]

Ah, time to revive an old thread...because the only times I visit you guys in the mornings is when I'm working a boring office job, or I've been up all night and am too wired to sleep. Unfortunately, today is the former:( I did manage a very good night's sleep last night, but maybe that's why I've felt so blech today. No matter whether I am kind or cruel to my body, it still refuses to co-operate some days. But, with the help of a friend (she also works a boring office job, so we exchange emails entirely in haiku all day), my mood is improving. And checking in with you guys helps:) Now, I just have to convince myself not to worry about some things and it'll be the long weekend before I know it.

[Jez]

At least you can use the Internet while at work :) What long weekend do you have coming up? We just had Martin Luther King day this past Monday so that was our long weekend.

[Star_Anise]

Yeah, I can use the internet, although I have to be surreptitious about visiting you guys...the panopticon world, hey?

Long weekend is due to Australia Day, which itself falls on Saturday. I am actually going to be doing some "typical Australian" things - a barbecue, a swimming pool, some beers. Rest of the weekend will see me playing some pool and catching up with friends. It also marks my first paid holiday ever.

[musi]

He, yes, I sometimes wonder what people used to do at the office when there was no internet. *thinking* I would have probably died of boredom :)
It was good to see the thread revived :) Thanks!

[Jez]

Heh, 'typical Australian' things sound like 'typical American' things. What are you favorite vegetarian barbecue dishes?

Nice to have a paid holiday.

[Star_Anise]

Well, I don't know if there will be lamingtons and backyard cricket, but I can usually pass on those "typical Austalian" things:)

As you can imagine, I generally find barbecue food a bit limited for vegetarians - ends up being kebabs, or mostly grilled vegetables. You can try more unorthodox dishes - been known to have pancakes, stirfries, or those horrible soyburgers. I'm actually trying to find interesting things to do with it, because I'm getting bored:)

It's 10:40am here, on a not so good morning, because today is dragging again. Hope everyone else has a good Friday, when it starts for you:)

Aww, you don't like veggie burgers? I really do like some kinds. Maybe cause I've never had real ones before. :rolleyes:

Corn on the cob grilled is yummy, too. But I think grilled vegetables are a bit boring otherwise.

[Star_Anise]

Corn on the cob grilled is yummy, too. But I think grilled vegetables are a bit boring otherwise.

I do love a good vegeburger, made of vegetables, beans or lentils, but I really don't go in for soy stuff. They were tried on the barbecue because they are pretty solid and hold their shape, I think. But I don't think I'll have them again.

I also really like grilled veges, they just get boring when you have them the same way all the time. I was thinking it could be worth trying to grill some halloumi cheese on the barbie, that would make for something more interesting than salad and bread. Maybe even some marinated firm tofu if I'm feeling like the risk?

Hehe, it's well past morning here, I've just had lunch, that long weekend draws closer...:)

[Jez]

I don't like soy burgers either. Some veggie or bean burgers are good though. The deli near me makes the best veggie burgers I've ever had.

I've grilled marinated tofu and vegetable shish kebabs and they turned out well. I forget what I used to marinate them though.

What is Australia day anyway? Is it like an independence day? Which also brings me to another question I was thinking about earlier--how did Australia separate from England?

[Star_Anise]

What is Australia day anyway? Is it like an independence day? Which also brings me to another question I was thinking about earlier--how did Australia separate from England?

From the "Today is" thread,


Tomorrow is Australia Day, commemorating the day in 1788 when the First Fleet landed in Sydney and started us off on this European settlement thing.

The sentiment is kind of like an Independence day, a patriotic celebration, so you can guess that side of things doesn't really appeal to me.

As for separating from England, who says we have? We are still technically under British rule, the Queen our ultimate head of state in theory, but this is more a kind of technicality. Although, there was a political incident in the '70's, when the Governor General (the Queen's representative here) dismissed the then prime minister, Gough Whitlam. Big scandal. Years ago, the possibility of becoming a republic was tested, but didn't happen. I hope it does in the not too distant future. Although being a Commonwealth country makes some travel easier...

[Star_Anise]

As some of you are safely ensconced in sleep, I say good morning from 10am on an overcast Thursday. I've had my first cup of tea, but the brain continues to be fuzzy...it may just stay that way:) At any rate, the week won't last much longer. It'll just feel like it.

[musi]

Yes, just 2 more days left till the weekend. But it is the last day of January :D :good: And the sun is shining outside, so I am thinking I'll go have a little walk soon :)

[thelastmelon]

And I'm up again. One day left of studying at home, and one day of lectures and then.. no school for a while. Next week is just practical. :good:

[Star_Anise]

Welcome, Friday:) Another cool, overcast day, bound to be long as I've not had enough sleep, but hopefully the weather will hold, because the evening holds my favourite live band - The Cat Empire:D

[Star_Anise]

9:45, a tired Monday morning, nothing but drizzle outside my window. But I have a cup of tea, so I'm sure things will improve...

[Star_Anise]

10:32 on another grey day. Only a little rain today, but still fuzzy hair weather (and fuzzy brain, too). Good morning litforums:)

[Star_Anise]

Wednesday, mid-week, and I still haven't managed to fight the feeling I fell into this week backwards...I overslept today, so it's a sleepy good morning from me.

[Jez]

Good morning, Star (even though it is Tuesday and 9:18 at night here :) )

[musi]

It is 9 am, I am at work, feeling much better than yesterday morning, when I had to stay home, feeling ill (I guess folk medicine works at times), so good morning to all in this time zone, who have to get up early :)

[thelastmelon]

It's almost 9 in the morning, and it feels like it won't be a good day.
The weather is nice though.

[Jez]

Late good morning. It's raining and cold.

[Star_Anise]

Sunshine, finally:) Blue sky and a brain that's not too fuzzy. Hello Thursday, good morning litforums.

[LeSilenceEternel]

Oh wow. Good early morning Lit Forums. I'm looking forward to a melancholy Valentine's Day. But I need some sleep first.

[Star_Anise]

Melancholy? That's no good. You can share my no-nonsense Valentine's:)

[LeSilenceEternel]

It's shaping up to be a grey day, weather wise. I finish lectures at 10 and my plan is for several books and even more cups of tea. It's 1:45 now.

A no nonsense Valentine's sounds great :)

[thelastmelon]

Melancholy? That's no good. You can share my no-nonsense Valentine's:)

I'll join you in that as well.

[musi]

Yes, count me in as well :D Good morning!

[Jez]

Good morning :)

What's a no-nonsense valentine's day?

[margaine]

Good morning. I'm off to yoga class! :D

[LeSilenceEternel]

Good morning :)

What's a no-nonsense valentine's day?
Circumventing the mush and having a super productive day? *shrug* Not sure.

[Jez]

Circumventing the mush and having a super productive day? *shrug* Not sure.

Sounds like my kind of Valentine's day. Not that my day was productive, but at least money wasn't spent on stuff for the holiday.

[Star_Anise]

Good morning :)

What's a no-nonsense valentine's day?


Circumventing the mush and having a super productive day? *shrug* Not sure.

Hehe, close enough to my version. Mine meant appreciating the loved ones I have while disregarding those who make my life unneccesarily complicated. Can't say it was a productive day though...but that's work for you:)

[thelastmelon]

Good Morning! It was a good night.
Tara let me sleep for 9 hours, I still have three hours to spend at home before I go to the exam. After the exam I can relax the whole weekend! :good:

[Star_Anise]

I'm glad you're well rested - and go rock that exam!

[Jez]

Good luck on your exam, Melon :)

Morning all.

[thelastmelon]

I'm glad you're well rested - and go rock that exam!


Good luck on your exam, Melon :)

Morning all.

Thanks. It went well. :)

[Jez]

:good: :D Congrats!

[Star_Anise]

10:37am on a Monday morning, and I'm not as sleepy as I expected to be. It's a good morning from me, litforums:)

[thelastmelon]

I woke up early today, because of school and because I'll be away from Tara so long (because of school) so that I'll have time to play with her.

So, good morning from Tara and I. We're going to play! :rolleyes:

[margaine]

good morning melon. I don't usually see you on here at this time (of night, for me). :D

[thelastmelon]

No, it's usually too early. :rolleyes: But, time for school.
Good night, Margaine.

[margaine]

Good morning. :)

I'm usually not up this early, but I've already been up for an hour and a half for an appointment. shocking! Anyway, it's kind of nice to have all these hours of daylight ahead of me . . .

[Jez]

Good afternoon. :)

[margaine]

I got up at 9:30 this morning. Perhaps I have finally broken through my habit of sleeping late! Good morning. :)

[LeSilenceEternel]

Good morning! It's 7:43 and I'm off to lectures...and trying to have an excellent day.

[thelastmelon]

Good Morning! :)

[Star_Anise]

8:41am on a Monday, of what will probably be a long week. I have a headache, but I also have a cup of tea. Hopefully things will even out to normalcy somewhere along the line.

[margaine]

morning Star! good to see you survived your weekend. ;)

[Star_Anise]

morning Star! good to see you survived your weekend. ;)

Just:) Now on to the next challenge.

8:41am on a Monday, of what will probably be a long week. I have a headache, but I also have a cup of tea. Hopefully things will even out to normalcy somewhere along the line.

8:41 am on a Monday (later time zone :) ). I had 2 hours sleep, as I came back home late yesterday evening, but woke up at 3 am to watch Oscars. I don't have a cup of tea, but I have Vietnamese coffee and it is the most tasty coffee in the world :) There is loads to do, but I think I'll be able to survive till evening :)
I do hope your day evolved into something better, Star :)

Dinner with a good friend certainly made things much better. Good company can go a long way for improving matters:)

Hope tomorrow treats you kindly after your early start...

[Star_Anise]

Good morning from a very bright, headache-inducing morning:)

[musi]

Yeah, good morning from this side of the world too - cold, wet and miserable..

[Star_Anise]

So I slept in, it's cool and overcast and I have lunch with my coven today, who are going to cross-examine me, but despite all that, it's actually an ok morning:)

[thelastmelon]

And now, good morning! :) About to go with Anton into town (he'll be away this weekend as well) and then I'll go to the sale a bit more, and then spend a calm weekend at home with little Tara. Mornin'.

[musi]

We should have a Good Day thread, because I am sometimes so overwhelmed with work in the mornings and fall asleep with a book at night, that I don't get to post here:D

Good Day, everyone :)

[thelastmelon]

Not a lot of people up, I see. But good morning anyway.
Tara woke me up at 8.20 AM and didn't want me to sleep, so I'm up and alert! :D

Hope you're all having a good weekend.
I'm going to have the laziest weekend I possibly can: Starting with a cup of tea.

[musi]

Good morning, melon! I am still in bed and it is not quite morning already here, but in any case a cup of tea sounds great!:good:

[Star_Anise]

It's a sunny blue-sky morning, Pablo my nodding monkey is doing his thing, and so another week begins. Good morning:)

[LeSilenceEternel]

Good morning Lit Forums. It's 1:08 am, I have no hope of sleep tonight, and this week the real fiasco begins...

[Star_Anise]

Good morning Lit Forums. It's 1:08 am, I have no hope of sleep tonight, and this week the real fiasco begins...

Sounds like a crappy start to the week, Silence, I hope it doesn't turn out as badly as you expect. Seems like we've had a run of bad weeks between us here recently...so we understand if you need a place to vent, to chat, or just to escape:)

I hope it works out better than I'm expecting, too. Thanks a lot, Star. I hope your week turns out a lot brighter than the last few have been :)

it's 1:38 am and I am wide awake. It's Human Rights Awareness Week on campus, and I am co-ordinating an event single-handedly because the other seven people who are meant to be helping out have abandoned everything mid-planning, because their workloads have increased.
Event is Thursday. It is now Tuesday. *panic* I am not eight people!!!!

Voting starts today *panic*

Things are not good back home *weep*

Oh dear, I really need to pull it together.

Crappy week on the way, definitely...but if you're anything like me, you do your best work under pressure. Just stay focused and you'll get through it without realising it. And I could think of eight people who couldn't stand up to one of you...

Wow, Silence, it's quite a week! Will it help to make a list of things that need to be done first, then others that can be done later? One of my friend always said we should solve the problems as they come :)

My morning is ok, though it is incredibly snowy outside and cold. Tea is, once again, my saviour.

[LeSilenceEternel]

That's what I'm doing, taking everything as it comes. Thanks for the support/advice everyone :)

I'm now feeling a little better and slowly ticking off the long list of tasks on my plate...

[margaine]

Good luck LeSilence. It will probably be over before you know it.

It seems like a lovely autumn morning outside, but my flu isn't going anywhere, so it's another day in bed for me. I'll just have to try and get some more reading done...and hope I'm well enough for my bookshop crawl tomorrow. I already had to cancel salsa. *sigh*

But on the upside, even without sick days, this is a long weekend (Monday's Canberra day), so I have to get better or it's an even bigger waste. That's a thought to start a good morning:)

[musi]

That kinda describes my mood today :)

Aw, hopefully your Monday will get better :)

[margaine]

Good morning. I really didn't want to get up this morning. My bed was just so comfortable.

[Star_Anise]

Not exactly a lot of sleep had for me last night, and feeling flu-ey still this morning, but I'm at work, the sun is shining, and it's a short week, so good morning:)

Good morning Star :) It's almost 7 at night here, but due to daylight saving time it's actually still kind of light out, which makes me happy.

You know, as annoyed as I was about daylight savings on Sunday, I'm quite happy with the extra hours of daylight also. :)

[Jez]

I was annoyed too. I hate losing time like that. I think I've adjusted ok enough, but still not perfect. I still want to go to sleep around what used to be 1 or 2 in the morning, but it seems so much later now if I go to sleep at what really is 2 or 3.

I don't feel rested at all, but hey ho, up again and ready for this week. (I had Monday off)
Good Morning!

[Star_Anise]

An interrupted night's sleep, a headache, and boredom at work...it must be Wednesday:)

Aww, sorry about your interrupted sleep Star. I wish it was already Wednesday here, if that helps . . .

[Star_Anise]

It's Thursday, I've had a full night's uninterrupted, natural sleep and plans for the weekend. Good morning:)

[LeSilenceEternel]

Good morning! 1:07 and I'm nowhere near sleep... I hope everyone has a happy Thursday. I should be in bed.

[Star_Anise]

Bright clear Tuesday morning, and as usual, I'm hoping today goes quickly. But at least I had a good night's sleep, even if it's the kind you wake up from feeling blech.
