[Where'sPiglet?]

Sure can!

I'm impressed. I can barely keep up READING WFDT, much less responding to it and there's NO WAY I could catalog it all!

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

Okay....at the risk of getting VERY CONFUSING here...

On JULY 26th (a Sunday), we are getting together to paint POTTERY.
We would like to reserve a table (soon) for this since the place is small. So far I have a headcount of 9 for this:
Me, Cara, Serena+DD, Jamie, Kristina+DD, and a friend of Kristina's and her DD


On AUGUST 28th (a Friday), we are getting together to paint CANVAS.
So far we have a headcount of 5 for this (it appears to sell out fast):
Me, Cara, Kristina, Lori (Northshore), and Serena.


PM me or Kristina for details on either. And yes, both locations were previously discussed in FB threads so you probably know what they are.

Morning y'all,
can't say iphoning w/ one hand. Thanks for all your prayers support & friendship!

I'm doing pretty good considering heavily drugged I still barely slept. Neck pain is bad when I lay down but practically not ther at all when I sitting up or walking. My throat hurts a lot, another reason I didn't sleep. I have to drink a little water or ice to be able swallow which meant LOTs of visits to the bathroom. I ate soft foods just fine if I drink water. If i'm up moving around I feel I feel boy to bad at all. When I'm up thr hand @ throat Hirt the worst. Love y'all!

I am so glad to hear from you so soon and twice! I hope that when you are completely recovered that it will be worth every bit of the soreness...

Kat: Congratulations to Kyle and Mariah! You must be so proud
That rain was something else!

Lori: Keep having fun with keeping your surprise, it will be the only time you can do it just right.

My uncle surprised my cousin once when he was going on a business trip to New York City, he told her she looked so sad and he was sorry she didn't want to go with him... of course she said "but I do want to go with you, I told you that" and he said "I was just making sure, cause here is your ticket" that was followed by the joy and screams that you would be expecting

Mary: Glad that you are getting back to normal and all is healing fine

Bethany: You are too much, they are not going to land on your roof... it jsut sounds that way

Sorry to anyone I missed

Yesterday I called my husband because I got lost on the way to the UNO Lakefront Arena. We were going to see Thomas Live. Well.. I forgot to get the address for my GPS and thought I knew the way.
The phone call went like this

DH "hello"
ME "hi, how do you get to the Lakefront Arena from here? (where we are) I left in such a hurry I forgot to get the address for the GPS and I am lost!"
DH "well, you turn here, go there, and you should see it"
ME "OMG, I am such a dummy... thank you so much... thank goodness you answered you dang phone" He hadn't been, it was my 5th attempt
DH "did you find it?"
ME "Oh yes, well have a safe trip today and I love you" (he was going out of town for the rest of the week)
DH "Who IS this?"

ummmmmm, only your wife, whose voice you should know by now..lol
Poor thing couldn't figure out who was bothering him with needing directions... at least he was polite enough to give them to me without telling me off that it isn't in his job discription! Husbands!

 

[rie'smom]

My drive home from work was through some of the hardest rain I've driven through in years. I'm a nervous wreck, Kyle is driving in from Baton Rouge right now. He surprised Mariah last night with a promise ring.

That is so sweet. There is nothing like young love.

Was Thomas fun??

Shovan - So, did it help sleeping in your own bed last night? Hope your day-after soreness is beginning to wear off. Real Mashed potatoes, spaghetti - sounds like A is taking good care of you! I know you have follow-up appointments, but have they talked about any PT to get you moving again?

Piglet - Just wait until the airshow! It'll seem like they're landing in your backyard!

Kat - So sweet about K & M! Did you know ahead of time??
Now, I'm dangerously close to sounding like my parents here , but gently remind him to take his time. DH & I were lucky enough to last through two years of HS plus Nicholls & LSU. In the meantime I witnessed lots of relationships go up in flames once new "options" came into the picture as our friends entered school, moved away, etc. His horizons are about to get a lot broader. Hopefully he can enjoy those experiences with M, and not feel like she's a burden, KWIM?
I know I sound like a downer (sorry), but really I'm happy that he has someone to share this next stage of his life. It doesn't hurt that you're OK with her too!

 

[zipuzee]

Hey Y'all,

I'm home. I'm not feeling as good as yesterday afternoon. I guess the soreness is just setting in. Angelina cooked REAL mashed potatoes for my late lunch. She is making spaghetti for dinner. She's a good daughter!

Glad you are home - take it easy and let DD take care of you. Sending and for a speedy recovery.

My drive home from work was through some of the hardest rain I've driven through in years. I'm a nervous wreck, Kyle is driving in from Baton Rouge right now. He surprised Mariah last night with a promise ring.

Aww, how sweet. Glad to see young love that way!!

You stated exactly what I lectured him about two weeks ago when he first told me his plans. Personally, I think he did this too quick, but what do I know, I'm only a Mom... I also added the fact that his last relationship ended one month after he gave her a ring. Now all I can do is pray that his heart isn't broken again and that he doesn't hurt that precious girl.

He asked for my help picking out the ring and he actually chose the one I picked!! BUT we had a glitch, Mariah's friend told Kyle the wrong ring size so we're returning it today.

 

[Terry36]

TGIF Ladies.

It sure is good to be back home and sleeping in your own bed.

Cara - that husband of yours is hilarious.

Shovan - I hope you are feeling better today.

Kathy I am sure Kyle is on . Young love is so sweet and I agree with the not rushing of things.

Well, I should have known you gave him some guidance! But, yeah, sadly, he's got to figure it out for himself. I know it's a fine line to walk, and I'm not looking forward to the day when I'm going to have to reliquish that control!

Just let him know if he doesn't want to listen to Mom , he's got a lot of surrogate Aunties who are willing to share the "been there, done that" stories so he doesn't have to experience them for himself!


Flora - Sorry I missed sending well wishes for your recuperation, but I'm glad to hear you're on the mend. Does the need to increase your iron mean you have an excuse to indulge in a good steak???

 

[shovan]

Hey y'all,

I'm here just not feeling as good. Throat hurts more, neck is stiffer. But Im being well taken care of, so don't y'all worry.

 

[FloraFauna]

Cara, you had me laughing out loud when I read your post

Cajunmommy, I've been taking iron supplements. I never was a big meateater. I think that's part of my problem. Every now and then I crave a good steak though

Sheryl, it sounds like you are being well taken care of. I still worry about you though and hope you have a good recovery

 

[TigerKat]

Sheryl - We'll always worry, you should know that.

 

[Terry36]

Ladies guess what, I have lost 5 lbs. I am finally feeling that my change in eating habits and excercising are paying off.

Terry, Congrats on the weight loss!

 

[TigerKat]

Poor Bethany is stuck in NO East in a bad storm, she had to pull off the road along with others because it was so bad. I told her to wait it out until it slacked off enough for her to get back on the interstate. She's going to call me and let me know she got home OK.

 

[portocall]

Sheryl - We'll always worry, you should know that.

Kat is right about that. Why does healing have to make a person feel so crummy?

That is AWESOME!!! Congrats!!!!!!! Keep it up...

Oh no... that is scary. Thanks for updating Kat! Sorry Bethany had to get this driving lesson so soon...

 

[Terry36]

Thanks guys....man I better get out of here before I get caught in it too.

 

[cajunmommy]

Iron supplements are boring ....I figured there has to be a more exciting way to get you feeling better!

Keep up the good work!

Those summer deluges are never fun. It's the other idiots who forget how to drive in the rain that scare me. Hope she made it home safely.

Just a thought - those of you who are familiar with her neighborhood & general driving territory might want to give her a head's up on the intersections & underpasses that flood when a bird passes over, so she's not tempted to brave them in her new car! Lessons on parking on the neutral ground might come in handy as well!

Great idea! I'm going grocery shopping with her (should be a trip) in the morning, I'll be sure & talk to her about that.
