carliray: Get 'em Lexi!

at 07:49AM 08/04/08

shae: Morning Carli! Yes, she takes her job VERY serious. The birds are being watched closely. Any false move and YAM!

at 07:52AM 08/04/08

carliray: Good morning Mom :)

at 07:54AM 08/04/08

masongirl: Is that fog outside? Looks so nice and cool. I should say Hi. I'm a friend of Carlis. :)

at 07:59AM 08/04/08

shae: @Carli- have you noticed how good I have been at refraining from calling you by your nick name? It has taken a great deal of self control. : )

at 08:00AM 08/04/08

shae: Hi masongirl- nice to meet you. Yes, that is our morning fog. It is 50 degrees right now.

at 08:01AM 08/04/08

carliray: haha...which nickname? I have so many embarrassing ones...

at 08:02AM 08/04/08

masongirl: Ooo do tell. Lol.

at 08:02AM 08/04/08

sonfleur: Cute dog! What kind is it?

at 08:03AM 08/04/08

carliray: Mom, don't listen to masongirl.
;)

at 08:04AM 08/04/08

shae: @Carli- you know G_ _ _ _!

at 08:05AM 08/04/08

carliray: shhhhh....she doesn't know she's a dog.
;)

at 08:06AM 08/04/08

carliray: haha! Oh that one is ok Mom...its the least embarrassing of all my nicknames.

at 08:07AM 08/04/08

shae: @sonfleur- Lexi is a Bishon. She belongs to our daughter, Michelle. She has a house full of company so we are keeping her for a few days. She is a lot of fun.

at 08:07AM 08/04/08

shae: @Carli- Oh good, then I can relax and let down my guard. I didn't want to embarrass you.

at 08:09AM 08/04/08

carliray: :)

at 08:09AM 08/04/08

sonfleur: I don't have a dog right now, maybe after we get moved....

at 08:13AM 08/04/08

shae: Actually, we don't even want one, we just get to enjoy and send her home. Kinda like being a grandma to her too. The best of both worlds.

at 08:15AM 08/04/08

sonfleur: My daughter wants a dog. We had to put our German Shepherd down a little over a year ago.

at 08:18AM 08/04/08

sonfleur: I don't really want a puppy right now, but I enjoy the companionship of an adult dog.

at 08:19AM 08/04/08

masongirl: The G word? How interesting. Haha.

at 08:20AM 08/04/08

shae: Yeah, I understand that. It is SO hard when they have to be put down. Does your daughter live at home?

at 08:21AM 08/04/08

shae: Oh Masongirl, stayed tuned it is bound to come out soon.

at 08:23AM 08/04/08

sonfleur: Yes, she is 12.

at 08:26AM 08/04/08

emigh03: Hi Shae! I am a friend of Carli's and I am just dying to hear this nickname:)

at 08:27AM 08/04/08

sonfleur: My oldest is almost 25, them 19, 17, 15, 12 8, and 1 &1/2

at 08:27AM 08/04/08

sonfleur: Then

at 08:27AM 08/04/08

shae: @sonfleur- they usually want horses at that age. All 3 of my girls did. Our sons didn't ever get the horse bug.

at 08:28AM 08/04/08

masongirl: Yes Amy join my team. We're rooting for the nickname. Lol.

at 08:29AM 08/04/08

sonfleur: She DEFINITELY wants a horse!

at 08:29AM 08/04/08

sonfleur: Well, you have me VERY curious about this nick name. All of our kids have nick names.

at 08:30AM 08/04/08

sonfleur: I meant 12, and 8, not 128! Ha!

at 08:31AM 08/04/08

duboisfive: Hi Shae! I'm a friend of Carli's too, and I'm joining the team to hear the nickname. We could start making guesses! ;-)

at 08:31AM 08/04/08

shae: @sonfleur- Wow girl, you are right in the thick of it. Mine are all out of the house now. When I get to see them they bring more smiles with them than I could ever imagine. We have 5- 30 (in Sept) 28, 21, 20 (This is David he is with Jesus now for 10 years) and 18. AND 5 granddaughters! 8,6,5,4,2.

at 08:32AM 08/04/08

shae: Oh, I doubt you would ever guess it. What do you think Carli, think they could EVER guess it? It suits her so well. So, how well do you know her, is the question?

at 08:34AM 08/04/08

masongirl: Goob?

at 08:36AM 08/04/08

emigh03: Yay! Masongirl, we have a new recruit:)
Although I am not sure I like this whole guessing thing........um, alright. Shae: Will you give us the number of letters?

at 08:40AM 08/04/08

shae: Aha ha ha! Masongirl, it is 5 letters and I said it fit her! That is a funny one.

at 08:41AM 08/04/08

duboisfive: Gabby?

at 08:44AM 08/04/08

sonfleur: How about Grace?

at 08:45AM 08/04/08

emigh03: Oooh! Good one Amy!

at 08:45AM 08/04/08

shae: Now that one really does fit but unfortunately that isn't it.

at 08:45AM 08/04/08

emigh03: Shae: Is it a real word or is it made up?

at 08:45AM 08/04/08

masongirl: She said it was only slightly embarrassing which is why I guessed goob. Which sort of fits her. Shes funny and silly which is kind of a goob. Lol. Okay onward to five letter words...like....great?

at 08:47AM 08/04/08

mellyric: how about Goody

at 08:49AM 08/04/08

shae: I had to do a word search on it. I have used it so long I didn't know if it was a real word or not. It is not a real word. It ends with a "Y" and has double consonants. Theres a hint for you.

at 08:50AM 08/04/08

emigh03: **closing Websters**

at 08:53AM 08/04/08

masongirl: Wow I'm lost....

at 08:53AM 08/04/08

duboisfive: gummy?

at 08:54AM 08/04/08

carliray: oh my word. what is going on here.

at 08:54AM 08/04/08

carliray: Mom, "Gorgeous" has 8 letters...
that's my nickname right?

at 08:55AM 08/04/08

shae: Oh HI G _ _ _ _! We are just having a little fun at your espense. : )

at 08:55AM 08/04/08

shae: That would be Expense!

at 08:55AM 08/04/08

emigh03: Now you have my 5 year old curious.......though she is really no help to me.

at 08:56AM 08/04/08

shae: @Carli- It sure could be, but not (obnoxious buzzer sound)

at 08:57AM 08/04/08

carliray: HI BROOK! :)

at 08:57AM 08/04/08

jessie: Goofy?

at 08:57AM 08/04/08

sonfleur: Golly

at 08:57AM 08/04/08

emigh03: Oh, now she's just taunting us!

at 08:57AM 08/04/08

masongirl: Haha Carli. Of course gorgeous is my nickname for you but we're trying to figure out your moms nickname. Lol. How about gippy?

at 08:58AM 08/04/08

sonfleur: That is what Harriot the Spy called her caretaker, I think.

at 08:58AM 08/04/08

shae: I must admit, this is fun. But really guys how many double consonants can there be?

at 08:59AM 08/04/08

carliray: WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

at 08:59AM 08/04/08

duboisfive: guppy?

at 08:59AM 08/04/08

masongirl: Was I right? Huh huh? What did I win?

at 08:59AM 08/04/08

emigh03: Giddy? Goppy? Guppy? Oh I like Guppy.

at 09:00AM 08/04/08

shae: Aw Gippy, they guessed it, now the fun is over. : (

at 09:00AM 08/04/08

duboisfive: good job Jenney!

at 09:00AM 08/04/08

masongirl: *high five team* Woot. Gippy isn't embarrassing its cute. I love it.

at 09:00AM 08/04/08

emigh03: Which one is the winner?!?!?!

at 09:00AM 08/04/08

masongirl: Gippy!

at 09:01AM 08/04/08

carliray: Guppy is cute.
@Mom, I still have about 10 other nicknames that they can try to guess..

at 09:01AM 08/04/08

shae: GIPPY! Jen got it. Good job Jen! Now I will have to come up with a name for you....

at 09:02AM 08/04/08

masongirl: See Amy what you would have missed if you weren't on beenup2.

at 09:02AM 08/04/08

masongirl: Oh dear....something to do with coffee and three crazy boys. Lol.

at 09:02AM 08/04/08

emigh03: Now I want to know how Gippy came to be a nickname:)

at 09:02AM 08/04/08

duboisfive: me too! me too!

at 09:03AM 08/04/08

masongirl: *cheer*

at 09:03AM 08/04/08

emigh03: @ Masongirl: Seriously!

at 09:04AM 08/04/08

shae: @ Gippy- yes, we could keep this going for hours. You do have a list of names we could do.
This name came from my mom and she still calls me this at times. It always felt like love to me so I wanted to give it to Carli. : )

at 09:05AM 08/04/08

carliray: I love it when you call me Gippy :)

at 09:06AM 08/04/08

masongirl: Ah so cute!

at 09:06AM 08/04/08

emigh03: Okay, that one is cute, now give us the clue for a juicy one:)

at 09:07AM 08/04/08

shae: I love you Gip :-) I also like your given name!

at 09:08AM 08/04/08

shae: Well, which one do you want to try next? Aye Gippy?

at 09:09AM 08/04/08

carliray: @Emigh, my other nicknames are so weird...you would never be able to guess them. My cousin gave them to me...and he is very odd.
@Mom, I like my given name too :)

at 09:10AM 08/04/08

shae: I think we have lost her again. You would think she is trying to feed 3 hungry girls or something.

at 09:10AM 08/04/08

shae: Oh there you are C _ _ _!

at 09:12AM 08/04/08

carliray: I'm here Mom. Did you see the picture I just posted of Bella? We should call her Guppy :)

at 09:12AM 08/04/08

30something: my grandmother called me "kitten britches" but I have never passed that one down. We're from the south and my californian children wouldn't understand.

at 09:12AM 08/04/08

duboisfive: I like Gippy too! very cute!

at 09:13AM 08/04/08

shae: "Kitten Britches" I don't think I understand either...
Carli- I will go look right now.

at 09:14AM 08/04/08

carliray: I like Kitten Britches...its cute :)

at 09:15AM 08/04/08

30something: @shae--it started with my mom who had kittens on her pajamas as a little girl. Then got passed down to me. The name, not the pj's.

at 09:15AM 08/04/08

carliray: I should just post a list of all my nicknames and scare you all...there are some really random ones..

at 09:17AM 08/04/08

shae: 30something- I like it. It's cute. Oughta find some kitten pj's just so you can pass it on.

at 09:17AM 08/04/08

duboisfive: one of my uncle's friends used to call me Famous Amos

at 09:18AM 08/04/08

carliray: hahaha Amy

at 09:18AM 08/04/08

shae: Go ahead Carli- dust em off and list em for the world to see.

30something: :( so sad...later Baby Carl

at 09:30AM 08/04/08

shae: See ya hon, I am off to split wood. I have goofed off so long now the sun is out. Well, here's to sweat in your eye!

at 09:31AM 08/04/08

masongirl: Oh my goodness Carli I just laughed sooo hard. Famine-Gay-Fam? What the heck does that mean? Lol. So funny.

at 11:41AM 08/04/08

sonfleur: Cousins! I know about THOSE kinds of nick-names!

at 11:57AM 08/04/08

lori: I have learned a lot here today. Can't wait to make use of the information :-)
