Wendy, i am emphatically jealous of you! i LOVE John Barrowman! With me HEART! Have fun!!!

[Cagranosalis]

Then start singing! Practice in your living room! Join a singers meetup in your town! Find a teacher! Nothing like the joy of song.

Oh I dunno. You haven't heard me sing.

And feedback on website (sorry, I'm trying to limit MQ madness here - and failing) I like it very much. I love the colouring ad the pattern and the banner covers it all. I'd agree with Sarai about the font but that's only if I'm being super-critical.

Hey ladies...Just dropping by to see how much squeeage has gone on the last few days in here. As soon as he dropped Jumble's name, I was like "She is going to freak!". In full disclosure, we did the interview in April when I went to Vancouver for the Creation Con. I've been sitting on that wondering how Jumble would react for 6 full months!!

Now how about some love and green for the guy that did the interview with him, eh? ; )

Duly greened ((((Doublecut)))) You get one of our special super Woohoo squishy huggles for that.
You know I did think he was kind of casual about it all; I mean saying "I think they're called the Woohoos or something" when I figured he must know that's what we call ourselves by now. Well, he might have been a good deal less sure of that before he met Jumble but I seriously think he knows just exactly who we are now.

*huggles Awesome Martin*

*dances through thread*

This talk of choirs and singing has led me to a thought. We need an anthem.

We definitely need an anthem...

: )

Oh we do, we do! Any ideas?

On the t-shirts themselves, what kind of thing would we like? I'm thinking black definitely, for certain, er, slimming qualities ; ).

Er, I'll second that.

Ok, so now to what I came in to say before I saw Doublecut's post....

<lazy snippage>

And I’ve obviously confused my 3-year-old ………

I was dashing about trying to get four children sorted for a nursery run which I don’t normally do. My laptop was open and the screensaver was on, and as I ran passed it I said “Hello Martin!” because I’m daft like that So 3-year-old pipes up “Where’s Martin? Is he here?” For simplicity I said he was at work. “Did he give you a kiss before he went to work?” Er…….. way to distract me when I really needed to concentrate on what I was doing

at the dream and at the little one. Yeah, that's right. Go blame me for the dream.

Yes........ apparently her reasoning was that her daddy always kisses her mummy as he leaves for work, so........ I did try to explain to her that he lives in Canada, which is a very very long way away, and that I don't actually know him well enough to get a kiss goodbye She took it all in, then looked at the pictures on the wall and shrugged her shoulders, obviously not convinced : D

Children sometimes have a way of seeing things at their very simplest.

That's something you can plan on doing when you pass your test and get your own wheels

Yes, I was going to say that.
*huggles Wendy* Yo've done so many awesome things this year already; think of all the awesome stuff you're still capable of acheiveing.

Enjoy John Barrowman. Funny how things like that can take on a more significant meaning to us because of what and how we're first introduced to them. Songs do that, in particular - and singers.

Hmm, what could Wendy Woohoo be on her badge? We'll have to think of that some more. For that matter what wood Nad's be? And Jann's? We all have to have a badge.

[Cagranosalis]

Honestly, I'd go back and edit those typos but I can't be bothered.


*runz nekkid through thread instead*

Not knowing that the interview wasn't recent, I did think that was an odd thing to say, because as soon as I mentioned GW to him he immedately said "Oh, you mean the WooHoo thread!" So yes, it all makes more sense now And he was calling me an incredible fan before he met me? Jeez

Oh we do, we do! Any ideas?




Er, I'll second that.

Of course!

Yes, it's just we adults that like to complicate things

Easy..

Nad - The Ickybah WooHoo
Jann - The Guttery WooHoo
Wendy The Determined WooHoo

Good dream, sounds like the kind of one you'd wake up from going "Huh?"

I still don't know about my badge...hmm...

[Jumble]

That wasn't quite what I said, but I certainly woke up with a jolt! And then got annoyed because I really wanted to hear Martin's explanation

I still don't know about my badge...hmm...

Hm. Bit of a puzzler that one

Sarai - The Absent Woohoo

Of late, sadly yes.

How about, the Busy One? A bit more, um, diplomatic.

Loving your suggestions Jumble. They fit. Do we have a "nekkid" one yet? Someone has to be?

[Sarai]

I'm not sure that's exactly what I'd prefer to be immortalised as .

Will keep thinking .

EDIT: I think Nad should be the nekkid one...*runz*

.... I think it wood fit LJ a bit better

[MidwifeOnBoard]

Mornin Woohoos!

It must have been weird-dream-aligned-stars last night. Caffeinating to go for a run to blow off the anxiety created by mine. I hate it when dreams make no sense at all!

I have a 5 day clinic week this week. It's a good thing, I think. I could use a break from the baby factory.

MoB I thought it looked great . My only comment, and you don't have to take it on board at all (!), would be that the font could do with jazzing up a bit. Have you posted on the art thread? Maybe there would be some more helpful comments over there .

= thanks ladies! I had a similar thought about the font. But the text in wordpress theme that I use for the site is pretty simple, so I didn't want to veer too far from that. Is it okay to use one font in the header and then another all together in the site?

[Sarai]

.... I think it wood fit LJ a bit better

Hence the running!

MoB I don't think there are any rules about it! I find if you use fonts from the same family - i.e. Arial with Arial Bold for example, then it does look more consistent.

*zooms through the thread with a punnet of fishsticks and custard*

bbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[Jumble]

Fishsticks and custard???

Hmm. Well I guess since my favourite thing to eat in Vangroovy was candied salmon, that's not such a stretch

We need a name for Bekki's WooHoo badge.....

What wood you like on your AT5/WooHoo badge?

"WooHoos appreciate The Tool"
"WooHoos do it nekkid"
"WooHoos do it with broccoli"

or individual statements, like

Cags -The Handy WooHoo
Jumble - Totally Martin's WooHoo
MoB - The Baby-Catching WooHoo
Josiane - The Deceptively Quiet WooHoo
Yessika - The Venezuelan Woohoo
Nad - The Ickybah WooHoo
Jann - The Guttery WooHoo
Wendy The Determined WooHoo
Josiane – The Deceptively Quiet WooHoo
Luvnjack – The Nekkid WooHoo

Ah, peace at last, for a while anyway. My new little boy is asleep on my lap, the two babies are asleep upstairs, and Little Miss Thinks-she-knows-everything-about-Martin is watching Happy Feet

And if she asks me once more why he didn't direct it.......... I'll force her to watch TSV just so I can say he directed it AND wrote it!

*runz from Martin*

[Jumble]

Did anyone send Joe the link to his birthday art? I can't see it on his blog
