Well, I tried really hard in part nine to keep up. So sorry I got behind, hoping everyone is doing well .

I'm sorry that a lot of us are dealing with so many hardships. Hugs and prayers to all in need.Tammy and John and Sophia...my thoughts are with you...and everyone else that needs

I have had a rough week. My son and his GF and my GD have decided they can't live together.My son's girlfriend is just too homesick, and wants to come home to her family, and her and my son have not been getting along. So they are flying home tomorrow night, but my son is staying in Alberta. I'm ecstatic at getting to see my GD this weekend (haven't seen her since Nov) but so sad that this seems to be another family that will not be united. My son loves both his GF and his daughter, I hope we all find a way to stay connected.

Then I got up this morning (my day off) and had a little time to read the paper, a luxury, and happened to read the obits. My birth father (haven't seen him in over 20 yrs) has passed away I always wondered if I would know when he was gone. If I hadn't read the paper then I would not have known. I called one of my brother's, and he only knew because his wife had read the obits too. My birth father ( my mother divorced and remarried long ago) was an alcoholic . I was 11 yrs old when he left, so remember him and although I tried to keep in touch until my early 20's, lost touch when he just never seemed to be interested in me or my family (booze was just so much more interesting )So here I am today, mourning my father, but really, mourning what could have been...I may have lost out on having him as a father, but he lost out on knowing me and my children, his grandchildren. How sad I feel so sad for him, for myself and for my children.

Sorry for such a bleak post .

Looking forward to this vacation more than ever!

Good morning from the East Coast.

Remember all my trouble with Travelocity last year and I SWORE I would never use them again......well Vanessa was going to see her best friend in Alabama (exchange student her name is Ea) when Ea's granmother had a stroke earlier this week and then passed yesterday.

Well, Vanessa had booked her trip though Travelocity....so I have been trying to help her change her flight to later in the month. I called AirTran (the airline) they said no problem....there is a $75 fee.....so we found two flights on Airtran that Vanessa wanted and then called Travelocity. We held for 1 hour.....got transfered around to three different people who could not speak much English...I asked the 3rd rep to take my phone # in case we got disconnected and he said they are not allowed to make any outbound calls. I guess it is to expensive to call from India.....

Anyway, he fought me all the way on the changes and he said he had to call Airtran....so he placed me on hold, and then he came back and said AirTran had a 20 minute wait, I said Fine I will wait and the next thing I know the phone is ringing like I had made a new call.

So all of a sudden I did not have the Travelocity blerb playing in the backround it was saying something about Frontier Airlines.....after another 20 minute wait (now I have been on the phone for over 2 hours with nothing accomplished) someone form Frontier Airlines answered the phone.

Now how did that happen.....no one hung up.....I asked them if Frontier Airlines was the same as AirTran and she said no...I explained what happened to me an I think she thought I was nuts. and of course she thought I was nuts!!

So I got up at 5am....to call Travelocity back and I have been on hold for 35 minutes now ....her flight is tomorrow morning so it need to be cancelled 24 hours before.....

Oh my, I'm feeling annoyed and frustrated for you!

I know what it is to mourn what it, what could have been and what never was. Please know my thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

1 hour and 40 minutes on the phone with Travelocity, but at least this time I think it is changed.

Please do not use Travelocity......for your own sake....

A Tale of Tails, the Finale

Everything is at the dry cleaners now. I'm not exactly sure, but judging by the mustiness, I think they were former funeral attire.

I knew they had to be dry cleaned before I got them. He cut me a deal so I was OK with that.

Nearly everyday more pieces of the ensemble arrives. Not the tux. I have them. It's the accouterments that are arriving. I nearly have everything here. There are just a few accessories yet to arrive that are coming from the UK and Bulgaria.

Hmmm ... I hoping that we're able to achieve Maximum Fabulosity.

OK, so I had to look up the pregnant man after all this talk . . .

I could give him a run for his money from that picture in the belly department, and the ultrasound won't pick up a thing here but a gurgling stomach . . .

And . . . I think Austin Powers would say . . .

That's NOT a Man, baby!

I'm sorry about your mother's friend. Don't feel guilty as I'm sure she knew you came when you could.
