Oh, gosh. I decided to not read any of my deeply contemplative blogs (Lovebombers) and came here. I’m taking a bit of my cereal and read the first line about eating poop. Bye, bye!

Poor pitiful poop-eating Pip! I hope his surgery goes well, he gets well very soon, and the vet suddenly decides to give you folks a discount!

And Madi’s haircut is so cute…..and definitely sophisticated. I like it. And shorter hair drying time is a plus. Saves energy. Very “green”.

Jonny, hope you get well soon.

Yep, shorter, but I just finished writing the previous Say it! just as the nurse called me in! I had to leave her waiting a moment or two while I clicked the Say it! button, made sure it went through, then exited the web and locked my phone! She didn’t seem to care, though. Still no idea what’s wrong with me. I should go back to the Finnish course tomorrow. Let’s see what happens!

I’m happy for you wether you know what you’ve had or not ! (I wish I could say the same for me) So you have time to look at new comments while waiting ? Or is the waiting time shorter in Finland ?

I guess some of us have our “writer’s egos” to protect = )

Seems like I’m finally recovering from whatever it is I’ve had. At the doctors now, waiting to find out what the next move is.

Wow, you guys keep the level high for someone like me ! Simply mispelling words! Anyway, thanks for the lesson. I’m glad I got the sense of it at least.

jonny, hope your feeling better today.

auburn60, that’s exactly what I thought about daughter-loving Russ…

By: jonny

jonny — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 00:39:40 +0000

Hold up, again. Doesn’t MR ALREADY have a boyfriend?? What happen to the sweet young man someone was going to take a shotgun to?? The one we all wished Happy Birthday to?? Oh, and “despistion” was supposed to be “description,” if you haven’t figured that out by yourself yet. See, told you it was an off day for me! OK, back to sleep again!!

Gonna be hard to hold onto her ankles while at the same time keeping his gun trained on any potential male suitors. He better start practicing now…
Sorry, Madi. Kinda the death knell for your social life right there.

jonny– because I’m a comments whore and want you to have to rack up those Say It’s!! (Actually, I have an edit button because I’m the blog administrator…)

auburn60– I have visions of Russ clinging to Madi’s tiny ankles as she walks across campus…

Isn’t a ‘segway’ a motorized contraption in which people ride around the mall and grocery store, running into me at hip level and running over my toes? Capitalizing on the concept of ‘smoothly getting from one place to the other’ by its’ very name?
Tori,I am so starting to D-R-E-A-D Madi’s graduation and moving from home if you have already started the countdown! I’m rehearsing my mantra even now:
‘She’ll be fine. She’s so ready.You’ll be fine.’
I’m thinking now,though,that Russ will be in worse shape than you.

jonny — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 23:08:46 +0000

Hold up!! Wait one a gosh darn tootin minute!!! Tori (insert middle name(s) here!) Taff!! How is it that YOU get to go back and EDIT something you’ve misspelled, but we have to become a Say it! hog and correct OUR little goofs by posting a WHOLE new Say it!!! >= p (insert appropriate “raspberry” noise here!) ; )

Awwww…..poor little Pip. I will say a little prayer for him. Wonder if they make whoopie cushions for dogs. Just a thought…might help that little nip on his hiney feel a bit better!! LOL!

Love Madi’s new do!! Adorable!!

By: jonny

jonny — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 22:52:09 +0000

Man, I’m off today, the Madi Rose despistion should’ve read, “beautiful, STUNNING, precious…” Again, sorry MR!!

By: jonny

jonny — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 22:49:04 +0000

You were too fast for me Tori! Also, the word “smooth” was in the transition description in one of the on-line dictionaries. Anyway, hope you have lots of fun with the word now, delighted!! Peace!

By: jonny

jonny — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 22:45:25 +0000

OK, it’s spelled either segue, or segway. Please google both. I’m use to the “segue” spelling of it, but apparently “segway” is also acceptable. Maybe Tori added both endings to the word for fun. Maybe, God forbid, she just wanted to get a liiittle carried away on her own blog!! And, throwing another segueway at you, I too probably got a liiittle too carried away in my first Say it! No, beautiful, running, precious Madi Rose, (by the way, a wonderful word for her, that precious. Thanks Barbara!) does not in any ueway, shape or form resemble an “eater!” I had just woke, fever was up the night before, and when I saw the first pic of her, with her pointing to her hair, I thought it resembled someone pointing to their own head in a “I’m a little crazy” gesture. Having just seen the picture of our poor, suffering Pip of the Squeakness, I thought of earlier comments of how eating that which should not be eaten would understandably make one a little “loco.” Then I saw in that first pic of MR what appeared to me at first to be swollen lips!! It reminded me of one person I know who has a food allergy and she told a story of once when her lips swelled as one result of it. Well, bad went to worse in my in need of much help mind, and then the brief comment in that first Say it!! And yes, this has been bugging me all day, my time = /

tori — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 22:34:34 +0000

I MISSPELLED IT!!

It’s actually spelled “segue”, pronounced “seg-way”, and yes, it means: ‘to move easily and without interruption from one piece of music, part of a story, subject or situation to another.’
Apparently the way I spelled it is correct only if you are translating it from French or something (which I didn’t know at the time– I just plain spelled it wrong!)

See how informative this blog is?! We are learning something new every day here at the ‘bloomr!

I just went back in and fixed it.

By: jonny

jonny — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 21:49:13 +0000

OK, can’t find it. I use the word A LOT, but rarely have to spell it. I just copied Tori’s spelling, even though it looked odd. I think it has to do with the word SequÃ®. My little “hat” over the last letter in the word is probably wrong. Should be more of a straight little line over the “i.” Basically means, “To follow.” I believe it’s a type of transition of things, i.e. thought, subject, sequence, etc. Anyone else case to take a shot??

By: jonny

jonny — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 21:17:26 +0000

I’m not sure it’s spelled write, I’ll check my dictionary in a few!

By: delightedabroad

delightedabroad — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 21:06:40 +0000

Tori, you used the word ‘segueway’ – I searched every dictionary I have access to but couldn’t find it ! Does it mean ‘connecting different kinds of content’ ? That’s beyond my capability concerning English language; I’m sorry.

Oh dear, I just want to snuggle with little Pip. Having had kidney stones several times, I believe I know his pain. It has to be horrible for that little thing, not being able to communicate. Thank goodness, he has a monny who is tuned into little ones….two feet and four feet. Believe me, Pip needs those prayers to start now ’cause he isn’t having any picnic.

Madi looks adorable in her new haircut. I have to admit that I am rather partial to her beautiful long hair…but I understand the desire to change things every now and then. Gracious, Madi couldn’t have a cut where she would not look positively precious.

Aww, poor Pip! Glad you figured out the problem though and hope the surgery goes well.
Madi’s hair looks great!

By: jonny

jonny — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 14:32:51 +0000

Oh, and really liked the pic and, appreciated the Warhol treatment, of the two of you before the major hair surgery took place. The one the transformed the girl into a young woman coming of age! In appearance anyway = / Peace!

By: delightedabroad

delightedabroad — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 10:01:29 +0000

Oh, I can imagine why Madi is so satisfied with her new look…:-)

By: delightedabroad

delightedabroad — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 09:53:54 +0000

Feel really sorry ! Of course I will think of you and Pip next week. And I hope that you, Tori, will find the striking peace offering …

What’s this me following my daughter on here. Sorry Rach’. Pip looks so sweet. Hope just maybe there was a ‘pet insurance’ around, if not very sorry for the finances. Love Madi’s hair to. Thinking of you all while Russ is away.

rachelbaker — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 08:21:02 +0000

I’m feeling for little Pip, and for your finances. Ouch all round.

Madi’s hair looks great, she is beautiful.

It was our holiday weekend last weekend and its ‘back to school’ here tomorrow. My five year old is so excited … I wonder how many years that will last? I can never remember looking forward to the end of the holidays!

Poor Pip! The poor little thing is hurting; hence, the pleading look. Yes, I’ve experienced the canine pleading look many times and totally understand. (And it does not always mean pain. LOL) Have also experienced the “trying to hide head in armpit” thing. Doesn’t it just break you heart when they’re so afraid. Did the vet give you anything for pain while waiting for Tuesday? Maybe the pain is what’s making him sick on his tummy? Hope not. (Celia, tend to your own business.) He is so adorable. Will sure be praying for him, especially on Tuesday.

I’m a little disappointed that Russ is not an animal person. I guess he really enjoys it when the 3 little yappers get to yapping at one time. LOL I actually love animals more than I do most people. Does that make me weird or uncivilized or what? I think it’s just that most people are uncivilized these days. Not those I know, tweet and blog with of course.

Madi looks adorable! She’d probably still look adorable with a crew cut, but the current style is perfect! Does she love it?

Wish I could be a fly on the wall when you & Russ, Marcie & Michael get together for dinner. Unimaginable fun I’m sure. I just love the way most of the Christian artists love & respect each other so much.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend, Tori & family & everyone here.

Wow, looking at Pips face like that, all up close and personal like with that close up, I would never have taken him for an “eater.” Now Madi on the other hand… Looks can be so deceiving though, can’t they. And speaking of deceiving looks (there’s my segueway for ya’) yes, that new hear cut does mature her a few years. In appearance anyway. I trust she’ll soon be acting the same once the novelty of the new hair cut, which looks really good IMO, wears off! Here’s hoping any way = /
