Hi, y'all.

As many of you know, I got married in a simple courthouse ceremony in April. Well, we are planning on having a backyard reception 9/25 Saturday. We live in Kansas City (Prairie Village, KS) and I just wanted to see if anyone was interested in getting an invite. I know people are way far-flung, but you never know!

It will be just a casual, fun backyard late afternoon/evening event, with dancing from the ipod mix, drinks, food and cupcakes.

Email my profile addy if there's a possibility you can come, and I will send you an invite -- when they get all printed.

Could I get some lower BP and Proteins ~~ ma for my sister? She's 35 weeks tomorrow and her BP is elevating and the proteins in her urine were pretty elevated so she's showing the classic signs of pre-eclampsia. Best case is that today was just a one-off cause she's moving this weekend and is a little stressed and everything goes according to plan. Worse case is that she has to be induced this weekend. So vibes of lower BP and "stay, baby stay" would be highly appreciated.

I am at the airport on the way to San Francisco. In approximately 24 hours I will be in the on my way to Venice. Probably be dark gray for a while.

Hello LAistas. I have a wonderful cat who needs a home. If you or know anyone you know who would be interested please email me, lagarat at gmail. She's about two years old and comes with furniture and toys. I also have people furniture I'm looking to get rid of so if you need a bed, table & chairs, dresser, entertainment center, email me. Also kitchen stuff, plates, glasses, cookware. Free!

OMG, I actually have an interview! A company that I left a resume at a year ago contacted me! Now they want me to come in for an interview! this is only the third one I've had in a year and a half.

So, Tuesday Jun. 29, at about 2:30 Central time, if I could get some "Don't-screw-this-up"~ma, I would so appreciate it.

I liked this company a lot and would really like to work there.

eta, yes, it should be June!

I really hope that should be June.

Request for cat~ma - I got a phone call tonight from a woman who thinks she might have my long lost (7 months!) cat Ivan.

I called her and a message for her.

Fingers crossed it's my kitcat.

Some let it be nothing~ma for Mom, please. She had the vitrectomy on Thursday, everything was going well, and this morning she started vomiting with chills and sweats, and her BP and blood sugar levels are entering dangerous territory. L just took her to the ER, and I'm headed to the shop to cover for her.

I'd really like the medical roller coaster to end. This is not a fun ride for her.

So anyway, I'm 13 weeks pregnant. Woo hoo!

Congratulations, Jessica!

I'm really behind in every thread right now, so please don't think I'm ignoring any of you....

Mom's back home and resting. She was dehydrated, which was easy enough to fix. The nausea was caused by the pressure being too high in the affected eye, which caused motion sickness, so the doctor did some magic with needles. She goes to the specialist first thing in the morning. The high blood sugar was the result of steroids in the prescription eye drops. We'll see if a change to prednisone-free drops helps.

In short we're cautiously optomistic, but the ER didn't inspire a lot of confidence so we're waiting until we get the all clear from her regular doctors. Thanks for the continued ~ma; I'm a true believer in its effectiveness.
