That is so true! It's like when I'm really trying to stay out of the hospital, half the time I end up going in just because I get myself so worked up about going in.

Much luck to you. Just remember to breathe. You can do it. I have much faith in you.

Timelies. Hey Cindy. I was thinking about what I do to get through a panic attack and I don't think I ever said, one of the things I have to do to get myself out of one quickly is to acknowledge that it's happening, that it will go away soon and that it may feel horrible, but it's causing no damage to my body. The no damage part is really important.

vw, now I want meatballs and brownies. I bet the party is an absolute blast. And only a few hours now until you can give her the present!

And only a few hours now until you can give her the present!

I KNOW! I'm so excited! It's all wrapped, and the card is signed. It's so pretty.

I'm really excited about the party. I wish more of her friends were able to make it. It's going to be mostly Buffistas, which is fabulous! But, it would have been fun to have more of the SCA crowd too. They're cool people. I think that everyone would have gotten along well. But, it's ok. It's still gonna be about 12 people. We'll have a great time. And, lord knows, there's going to be SO much food! I hope everyone comes hungry!

My hands are FREEZING! I just got done shelling 18 eggs. Brrrrr... Gonna wait a few minutes to start cutting them and doing the deviling.

Good luck with the party, vw. I'm sure it will be fabulous. Sorry I won't be able to make it.

I'm procrastinating starting what is going to be a stressful, long day. I've got a volunteer luncheon to get ready for and then we're driving to see my MiL.

And I've seriously stretched out checking account to the limit. Not sure if the savings will cover it--even though DH swears he's got a reimbursement check coming for business travel expenses. If they don't deposit the check by Tuesday at the latest, we're screwed. I hate waiting to see if this is going to happen.

Now I'm hungry for deviled eggs. Curse you, vw!!!!

Sorry I won't be able to make it.

I know. Silly space/continent thing.

Also {{{Cashmere}}}. I hope the day isn't as stressful as you're expecting. And I TOTALLY understand the checking account thing. I hope your DH gets that check soon.

Now I'm hungry for deviled eggs. Curse you, vw!!!!

Hee! Blame Emily. It was the *one* thing she HAD to have.

Deviled eggs do sound nice.

Cashmere, I know (and loathe) that feeling. I hope the check comes on time and that the day isn't too bad.

I'm going to go lay down on the couch for a bit. I woke up stiff and achy and it's not quite gone yet.

I am now covered in cocoa from making the frosting for the brownies. But, I got to lick the whisk and spatula that I used. Mmmmmmm....yummy morning chocolate!

From last night (I was asleep already-yay me), ita, re our discussion on plastic ducks:

Do you think this is what Kermit was singing about?

Hmm.
