Oh my gosh... I just was almost done with this LOOONNNNNGGG message with a bunch of personal stuff, all in colors and everything, and I went to my bookmark for the Tagliarchy Color Wheel to find
Dan Murphy's color to wish him a happy birthday, and instead of opening a new window like it usually does, my computer erased my whole message and gave me the wheel in that window. Waaaah.
Well... I could never be so clever as to recreate the whole post again, so I'll hit some highlights.
DH and I got back safe and sound from Nashville last night. First trip in a car in 18 years without a child present. It was kind of twilight zonish... really peaceful, really quick with no extra stops... We went to the Red Cross' Rhapsody in Red fundraising gala (DH used to be on the Board so we go every year, even from Ohio now). He was dashing in his tux with the red bow tie and red cumberbund, and I wore this really fun big satiny billowy full red skirt that was a blast to dance in. DH saved me some agony and bought something at the auction. He bought a Martin guitar autographed by Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, and now I don't have to worry about his upcoming big 50 birthday present! Yeee haaa!
Came home to oldest DD feeling sick. This a.m., the Doc confirmed that she has raging strep throat. I have offered to pay the co-pays for the family she stayed with if they get strep ... seems like the least I could do!
Okay, here goes again..
Dan Murphy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! How about a Chicago DIS meet in Columbus for a change of scenery???
HuggaBaloo, Rather than read back 100 pages, where are you moving? Still in Lookout Mountainland? I waved down I-24 on Saturday night and blew you a kiss. Did you get it???

- I would love to do the exchange thing, but someone needs to tell me in user-friendly English what I need to do! It's a great idea, whatever it is!
RickinNYC - I'll have to miss your scary stories. I am one big cluckin' chicken when it comes to slasher stuff... but I do want to know how much food is 35,000 pounds? Is it bigger than a dump truck? A semi? Good luck with it. What a great job you have.
Deadheadbelle - I'm in on the NCAA Challenge... I picked KY... my momma is a tried and true Wildcat. I think she was at KY when Coach Rupp was there ... I think. Anyway, did you pick KY, or Louisville, or Murray State???? If you picked KY, I hope it's a really BIG Wonka bar so we each get a lot when we win!

Thanks for putting it together. I signed up as iluvtink so you can track my winnings! ha ha! I pick according to quirky stuff like: my friend Lezlie went to Michigan State so I'll pick them, and Gonzaga is such a great name, I'll pick them... etc. I've won money that way before, but people who pay attention to basketball hate me and my system.
Bichon Barb - Country music isn't ALL bad... don't you like Faith Hill? She doesn't sound anything like Dolly Kachunga Parton and Porter Pompadour Waggoner sounded when I was a little kid in south Louisiana! I like most country and bluegrass music, as long as it doesn't make my dogs and DH howl ...
Shoot, I know I had more messages, but thanks to my pea brain, they are now scattered to the winds.
Oh wait, I wanted to tell
[color=CC00CC]Kismetdreams[/color] to have a wonderful, beautiful, magical wedding. I wish I could be a butterfly on a flower there so I could see it all in person! God bless you both.
DD is croaking for me, so I have to run... I'll try to check in tonight before bed If y'all move, will someone tell me so I'm not lost? Thanks!
