......you guys all make me laugh! Thank you!

Remember I mentioned I tap and take hip-hop classes? I perform at the same recital as DD every June. I once considered doing our last year's tap dance on stage at the talent show.....but ONLY IF IT MEANT A FULL PAID CRUISE or some great incentive! Sorry, it would just be too much (and take too many glasses of wine) to get me up there to dance in some slinky outfit to Madonna's "Music".
If it was for a 7 night cruise of your choice, I'd have the CD and tap shoes packed already! I think
DCL is missing out on this one.....they need to be more generous with their "prizes".
Okay, now all the snow has melted, as for the past 4 hours it has been

POURING down rain! We hardly ever see rain like this here.....that is what Western Oregon is notorious for, the Willamette Valley. We, here, are the high desert and get very little rain...lots of snow and sunshine.

GET ME OUTTA' HERE!

.......DH returned from the back country and said it was an absolute BLIZZARD

up there! He was at 7,200 feet today and there were already feet of snow in our Cascades! We'll be coming home after Thanksgiving to an open Mt. Bachelor ski resort and our kids chompin' at the bit to get on thier skis! What a dicotomy of weather!
Choc-Marg, you will feel better soon, I know it. The people who suffer most are those who don't realize there is something going on and ignore it for days if not weeks. Rest, take those meds, and if it's too painful, don't hesitate to call tomorrow AM and say you aren't sleeping well (pain). They will prescribe you Vicodin or Percocet. One or two of those should really help you feel better and sleep! DON"T HESITATE! You just need to speak up!....and, no, don't feel like a "druggie" asking for such a thing!
I will have to bug Barkley for a copy of that wonderful poem! I can't quite trust that if I press "print", that our entire thread won't be spitting out paper on the floor well into the night!
Just need that poem, you know? Gotta' have that poem!
