Hi, Sassy Ladies! Indeed, I did fall asleep at the pool this morning, Angie. I did manage not to fall in, though, which is a plus for all involved. When early practice was done Barney asked if he could go to his summer team's practice because he wasn't happy with what he'd accomplished (or not) at the early one. So I drove him to the other one, and then we waited for BamBam's practice. Suffice it to say that I left at 5am and got back to the house at 12:30. But wait, there's more! Barney's teacher from last year had invited the whole class to meet at the lake for picnicking and frolic, so we did that until about 5p.m.. I am pooped! Lucky for me, tomorrow is not an early practice day so I get to sleep in until 6:30. Woohoo!
Happily - as for the initiation, it goes something like this. You need to kidnap Bonnie's beet eating sheep and teach it an aria from Carmen. When that is done, his wool needs to be tie dyed and snipped into curlyque patterns. As soon as that is completed, all hags here need to be served the caffeinated beverage of their choice (Bonnie and I are diet coke fans) and a tray with exactly three chocolate truffles on a doily. Then, you are in like Flynn!

You seem a talented girl - I am sure you will have it all done in no time!
Heather - I am so glad that Joey is better! I am assuming that they are prescribing EMLA cream for his arm stick? It works pretty well, but he'll still feel the needle under the skin as it enters the vein. Still, it helps keep them still because they don't have the intial freak-out with the stick. Give him a hug (and a cookie) from me when it is over!

And one for you too!
Becca - thanks for the helicoil thingy education. I am sure it will come in handy when I open Wilma's Hardware Emporium. It's my next venture, you know. Specializing in those cute little flowered hammers for your desktop. Want to go halvsies with me? We could also sell little Yukon Cornelius's that sing and lick pickaxes.
Angie - Here here for the Pie Hole shout out. It's been dead over there! Friday or Saturday work for me on MSN - what's the consensus?
Bonnie - Thanks for the diet coke the other morning - it was a life saver! Nice to hear that you are a non-coffee drinker too. Diet Coke is my lifeblood!

I knew I liked you
Judi - what's up, hag? Tell mom that Nurse Ratchet is on the way!
Julie - see what happens when we brag on these doggies? I agree with your solution - this duty needs to be given to your DH. Especially if he has his own pee walk!

Linus says Atlas should take a Benadryl. Better living through sleeping pills.
Hi Tricia and Rella! Looking forward to hump day?
