Good morning, lovelies! Another fine day here and hopefully, not quite so busy a day at work. Got together with my son last night--haven't seen him in about a year and a half! Met him and his new girlfriend at Chili's and I not only got hugs, but they BOTH brought me Mother's Day gifts!! Mom was actually speechless!! Not for long, of course LOL!!! But we had a great time, his girlfriend is a real sweetie and seems to have a good head on her shoulders. Seems to be a steadying influence on him and I couldn't be happier! We only had a little over an hour together, cuz I had to pick DH up at the airport, but I savored every minute.
Nancy, I keep forgetting to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! Buzz is sooooo proud of his Chicago pin, especially since that's where he was "born"! He is also positively elated because I brought him a Mickey Bar and a Buzz Lightyear gun from WDW! I broke down and bought a Mr. PotatoHead cuz they wouldn't let me buy just the accessories. Was putting him all together last night and discovered I managed to get plenty of Mickey Bars, but I forgot a nose!!!! So poor Mr. PotatoHead has nothing to hold up his MickeyMouse glasses.

Luckily, he doesn't have sinus trouble, either.
Liz, dear, am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, especially right now as you are in surgery. Got my phone out and charged, sitting right here at my elbow, expecting to hear from you or Greg whenever. Have no fear, the pixie dust

is hovering over you and keeping a sharp eye on that doc of yours to make sure he does everything RIGHT!
Amanda, so sorry about your slow morning and not being able to eat. I can certainly sympathize--I'm one of those who can't move in the AM without eating. Only a little longer and you can put the old feed bag on!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MATTHEW!!!
Deena, the Hawaiian theme sounds great for a teenage boy! Hope ya'll have a great time and don't overdo on the pina coladas.
A fake snake for Todd's garden?! What a great idea if those neighbor kids are pretty young. I like the electric wire idea too, though. It wouldn't take but once and they'd never come back!
Yippee, Sherry has another free day!! Bet you deserve it after that calamity day! How's Jr. doing? Have fun at the Ice Cream Social tonight! Can you bring a friend??
Rose Mary, good news, the morning is now almost half over!! count me in as another Gary Sinese fan! Just another good reason to ride Mission Space!! Think we should start planning now for the Ya Ya meet at WDW in December? So sorry you couldn't meet up with us this past weekend, but glad you had a good time catching up with your old friends at the wedding!
Tara, great ketchup there! You're giving Liz a run for her money as Ketchup Queen! Glad that you were able to figure out what causes your contractions to increase. Makes it a lot easier when you know what you can and cannot do! Keep 'im cookin' just a little longer! Is Jarrod getting all excited about his new baby brother's impending arrival?
Laine, sorry about your nasty headache last night. Is it all gone now? Ya know, I sort of drifted away from ER after GC left the cast, too! Tuned in now and then, but it just wasn't the same. Never been a big GC fan, either.....
Karen, sorry about your owie, too! Hope it actually helps once the soreness wears off. Tried to call you last night, but got no answer. Ya'll must have gone to bed early!
Kristy, where are you??!!! Come out and play!!!
Tina, did it cool off any for you out there? How do you manage in all that heat? I don't think I could handle 100+ for very long!!
Lily, doncha hate the packing/unpacking/washing/packing cycle?! I keep dreaming about the future when we can just dial up fresh clothing from the recycler every day! Good luck with the yard sale this weekend, sounds like a great way to earn money for the team!
Gotta scoot--boss has arrived and I must look like I'm doing work

not much to do today, so I should be able to come back and play a little later.
