morning testers - hope you all are well...mark me down for insomnia mac, should have come down & checked out the boards last night...still hyper
Mom (who's 76) got her feet tripped up in one of the long flowing skirts she's so fond of & fell over backwards down 2 steps on set of stairs. Good thing they're in sections with landing inbetween & DH was close enough to help break her fall (shudder to think if she went all the way down the stairs). Unfortunately, she's a big girl & he was only able to stop her & slide her down to the landing. I'll look on the bright side & say after lots of tests the hospital proclaimed her bruised but, not broken

. They did have to
glue her ear on...when in the world did they start that in lieu of stitches - such a great idea. She's on enough pain meds already to sedate an elephant, so they patted her on the back, told her she'd feel like hell today & sent her packing.
mac - Did you say 2 weeks @ the motherland - mr. mac will come looking for you & drag you home.
do hope they honor the special rates, either way, hope they make a decision soon so I can make alternative plans...conscience starting to work on me. Surprised that DH, world's biggest boyscout, thinks its a-okay...must be rubbing off on him.
muffy - hope you clocked in
, lets call it research.
pam -hope your kiddos didn't bring you home a bug from school, rest up.
ocm - must of missed you weren't feeling well either, something's going around...how'd the painting finally turn out? Pretty soon, time to cut the grass again. We ripped out the grass in front (never grew well anyway under large shade tree) & it's all planted & mulched - of course it a tiny front yard.
mic - caught some of the news coverage from Austrailia...daughter breakin my heart. Missed dancing w/stars last night - do you watch that one?
tvt - how about a
lime green mickey head wakeup tomorrow?
bob - that pic of your boys is such a great one, everyone's kids are so photogentic on this thread.
deena - did you buy lots of cruise wear? My DH did the mickey tropical hawaiian shirts & kakhis (and he felt overdressed @ times - lots of jeans onboard).
gant - carmel latte please

, good luck on the game. My DH used to ride his bike over to Dover with his buddies (he's domesticated now

).
